Su Jin.
Can you see the ship?
Can you see the words Munyangho?
Your oppa, I, will be boarding this ship.
Do you know how much it weighs?
Don't be shocked.
3000 tons.
Awesome, isn't it?
Take care.
I love you.
Over there.
Head in that direction for 15 minutes and the landlord will be waiting.
When you arrive, just pay one month's rent and you can move in.
The market rate is actually 250 000 won.
Go on.
How did you arrive at the conclusion it was mechanical failure?
Munyang Seafood was unable to produce any documentary proof.
We only had the survivor's testimony to go by.
Mr. Eo Gi Yeong?
That's right.
You saw him personally?
Yes.
How was he?
In that situation anyone would have been anxious.
Think about it.
Out of 130 people, everyone died leaving you as the sole survivor.
Did he answer the questions that you posed lucidly?
Yes, well, more or less.
He remembered the situation rather clearly.
I should say he was terrified.
But regarding the location of the fire,
when the ship started to sink...
Immediately before the sinking, they must have used the radio to communicate.
There should be a log for that.
Can I take a look at that?
Well...
I too felt, something wasn't quite right here when I closed the case.
The recorder was damaged a month prior to the accident.
Huh?
Damaged?
Did someone deliberately erased the recording?
That assumption, would have been a bit difficult.
The crew on night shift duty slept with the radiators on, resulting in the fire.
Was the logbook completely burnt?
Yes.
Only Munyangho's navigation journal?
No.
Apart from that, many other documents were damaged.
That's why I felt that focusing on that point alone was too...
I heard they returned much earlier than their previous trips.
What was the reason for that?
I heard the refrigeration unit in the fish hold malfunctioned.
Malfunction of refrigeration unit?
Team Leader, you think it's because of the virus, right?
Yes.
Then why didn't you go to Munyang Seafood,
but to the insurance company?
Just think,
do you think a company who received an insurance payout on the premise of a reported malfunction would,
because of a virus or whatever,
provide information that will stir the hornet's nest?
What do you think the company care about the most?
To hush it up quietly.
Their selfishness
is letting Eo Gi Yeong wander around. It's really infuriating.
There would surely be a doctor on board.
Surely there would be medical records.
What really happened on the ship?
Team Leader.
Oppa.
Why didn't you pick up the call?
Where are you now?
Oppa, have you been drinking?
Yes.
A little.
It's too depressing.
You...
Do you know what I went through on board that crazy ship?
I reckon my heart will feel lighter after telling you.
Captain Choe.
He's the cruelest guy I've seen my whole life.
When he saw that the haul was less than last year,
he continued sailing towards the Bering Sea.
Then, at the northern most reaches of the Bering Sea, we came upon a shoal of pollack.
Everyone was so preoccupied with the pollack that no one saw the ice mass floating in the sea.
We only realized it when the ice mass collided with the ship and broke the refrigeration unit.
The captain lost his head
because the pollack that we had caught with much difficulty would rot.
Repair it, punks!
Isn't this why you are paid and fed?
I'm sorry, Captain.
Because the ship is simply too old--
Don't tell me "it can't be done, it can't be done."
Even if you have to crawl inside, fix it!
Captain.
How about getting a reefer?
There's one in the vicinity.
What is its' position.
It's about 1500km south.
If we meetup halfway, it'll take roughly a week.
Contact the reefer then.
And, dredge up some ice and place it in the fish hold.
If we do that, we should be able to keep it fresh for a week.
Yes, I understand.
If the refrigeration unit broke down,
the pollack would surely rot.
If I were the captain,
I wouldn't let that happen.
On the seas, the thing that can replace refrigeration is...
Ice.
If it's the Bering Sea,
there would be many ice floes.
Lately, because of environmental pollution
the ice in the arctic is starting to melt.
But the ice should be very large in size.
With 130 able-bodied men, what isn't possible?
If they filled the hold with that...
But
since they had filled it up, why did it still sink?
The refrigeration malfunction was 1 month before the sinking.
Then the illness must have started prior to that, right?
It's possible the illness started before that.
Thinking back to the ship log that we saw earlier
the entries in the ship log were still very detailed one month before the shipwreck.
The medical records in the log,
except for stating that patients had joint problems, there wasn't even a mention of colds.
If that's the case...
Dredging up the ice and filling the hold
is easier said than done.
When breaking up the ice,
we were hit by ice fragments.
Many of the crew suffered injuries to the corner of their eyes.
They also sustained injuries to their heads.
Their hands and feet were lacerated.
I already had pain in my knee prior to this.
By doing that work continuously without a break,
my knee swelled and the pain became unbearable.
Someone gave me some ice to apply on it.
While using that to relieve the pain, I kept thinking 'what do I do, what do I do' until the pain stopped.
But then, the crew started to fall ill one by one.
The first day, 3 of them.
The next day, it was 5.
After that, it was 9, then 20.
The only person who remained unaffected by the illness was me.
What am I to do? I'm really terrified.
Half. No, two-thirds of the crew members are dead.
The remaining ones will die soon too.
Yes.
Pardon?
What did you just say?
In such a situation, the person who's most feared
must be Eo Gi Yeong.
When people encounter misfortune, they will look for a scapegoat.
'Why is it that you are the only one who's fine?'
They would have made his life miserable.
Eo Gi Yeong, thinking he could no longer endure staying with them
entered the communications room and locked the door,
and tried to contact the company.
Munyang Seafood therefore is aware of everything through this conversation.
The person in charge who was dealing with Eo Gi Yeong
would have reported to his superior.
Although I don't know how much he actually reported.
in any case, whoever had to take responsibility
would have wanted closure without having to take the blame.
Why aren't you saying anything?
You should refute my hypotheses.
That's how you develop your thinking process.
If you don't say anything...
Your hypothesis is already perfect, there's nothing to critique or add.
How is it perfect?
I believe you.
I believe every word you say absolutely.
We should re-educate all the rookies.
Don't you know epidemiological investigation
starts with skepticism and ends with skepticism?
Even the evidence that's right before your eyes, you must be skeptical to begin with.
That's how we find the infection pathway, the source of the infection.
and even then you must continue to be skeptical,
and ask yourself 'Is this really the end?'
I'm hungry.
How did you know?
About what?
That I like tuna.
Let me make a guess.
You saw my medical record.
You know that I have neurogenic gastritis,
so you excluded roast chicken and beef, chili sauce, and all of the spicy stuff.
By eliminating the impossible, you are left with what's true.
The instant noodles are going soft.
Going by that reasoning, only tuna is left.
But we are still left with pork ribs, roast beef and tuna.
How did you deduce from the three?
Didn't you say,
'by eliminating the impossible, you are left with what's true'?
Do you really want to know how I knew?
Yes.
It's just
that I bought what I like.
You must be hiding something, right?
There must be some clue, right?
You didn't even perform an endoscopy on me,
how did you know what I used to eat, what I love to eat?
Don't you think they have gone too far?
Regardless of what may have happened, how could they
cause the sinking of the Munyangho which belongs to their own company.
We are not talking about a toy car here.
First, they must have calculated the loss they would have sustained,
and the benefits they would derive from a shipwreck.
First of all, they can protect the company's reputation from the rumors of the mysterious disease.
What else is there?
To be able to collect the insurance payout claiming it's due to mechanical failure.
There definitely wouldn't be a clause in the insurance policy for paying out in the event of a disease outbreak.
Therefore the insurance payout must be considerable
for the loss of the ship.
They can use the insurance payments to offset their loss of profits.
To repair a ship that's been badly damaged or to buy a new ship,
which of the options will save more money,
we will know only after doing the calculations.
But their losses will include the loss of over 100 crew.
Specifically, there were 130 crew members.
Save for Eo Gi Yeong, the 129 must be corpses.
Although that's just a conjecture
it must have been horrifying.
If 129 dead bodies were lying around and I'm the only one who's still normal...
He definitely wouldn't have been in the right state of mind.
That's why he couldn't think straight.
But what did he use to sink the ship all by himself?
Opening one valve would add on several kilograms.
Or he could have set fire to the operations room.
Right. Didn't they say recently there was a fire in the operations room?
How come I didn't think of that?
But...
After he was rescued, he could have told the truth,
why didn't he say anything?
There's a possibility that the person who was dealing with Eo Gi Yeong had threatened him.
He could have said he'll be accused of killing the 129 crew members and a charge for murder would be filed against him.
He would have said he never instructed him to do that.
I did it.
I was the one who sunk the ship.
It wasn't because of money.
As long as I could escape that hell,
I would have done anything.
All because I was fine,
every one of them blamed me.
They said I was bad luck.
I felt that as long as the ship sunk,
the hell would end too.
So...
So I...
It would have been better if you had told the truth when you first came back safely.
If you had done that, there's a chance things would not have come to this.
'The person who caused the 129 co-workers to sink to the bottom of the sea
is Eo Gi Yeong, the mass murderer of the century.'
They told me to go and do that if I wanted to be known as a murderer my entire life and remain in prison.
They laughed at me,
those bastards.
The snacks are here. Enjoy your meal.
What is he waiting for?
He's still not eating. What is he staring at?
Eat it while it's hot.
Okay. I will.
He didn't even touch it.
Take care.
Eo Gi Yeong!
Have a seat.
If you have a mask, please put it on.
Okay.
If I want to disguise myself, what should I do?
How would I know how to go about that?
Chief Lee, please check that out for me.
I say, why are you asking me for that favor?
If the police were to catch me and if I blurted it out,
it's a matter of time before the company has to close down.
If that happens, Director Gim will be very unhappy.
Crazy man.
Who are you threatening right now?
You thought I'd be scared if you said that?
I understand.
Gi Yeong. Wait a moment.
Gi Yeong. Stand still.
This fellow. Such an impatient guy.
Sit down for a while.
Mr. Chairman, Eo Gi Yeong is here.
He's asking me to help him disguise himself.
He said otherwise he'll expose everything.
What shall I do?
What? All right.
Why are you packing your things all of a sudden?
Later when we transfer the fish to the reefer
I've been told to stay on board the reefer.
I know a bit of Russian.
I think I'm coming down with the flu.
I heard Munyang Seafood's operation costs come from the Russians.
You're right. Something like a 50:50 investment.
Actually we have become so much closer living together like this.
This is just too bad.
Why is it so cold?
What are you doing?
The Haesimho,
that's the reefer that the Munyangho contacted to transport the pollack, right?
I guess so.
What is it? You can't contact them?
Wait. Wait a moment.
I will try again later.
Why isn't this wiped off?
You can use the satellite phone to call.
What did you say?
Try and contact the Haesimho.
What are you trying to do?
Hurry up and make contact with them.
Didn't you say you were able to contact them earlier?
There's no answer. Let's talk tomorrow.
What are you doing?
Hey! What are you doing?
Give it to me while I'm being nice.
You know full well. Why are you acting like this?
Do you want me to tell you again?
If you get into a fight with me, you will die.
I'm the sole survivor of the Munyangho.
They died because of me, have you forgotten that?
Those are two different matters. Leave the log behind.
I will be rebuked.
Please.
Do you want to die?
Professor Gim should know what kind of person Dr. Son Byeong Ji is.
He said he wanted to propagate the infection. That is really unlike him.
I agree with that, it doesn't seem like something he'd say.
But based on those few obscure words, there's no scientific basis to come to that conclusion.
It's because the two of you are close, that's why it's difficult for you to judge.
I can understand that.
How can I not understand your feelings, Professor Yun?
But now, we are in an unusual time.
I hope you understand, there are other things
that's more important than intellectual curiosity.
The fact that M virus can cause mental disorder, that's something that has already gone beyond my personal curiosity--
Those words were uttered when he was in intense pain and when he was at death's door.
Speaking of that,
because he wasn't his normal self,
I suspect he's suffering from mental disorder.
Yes. We only have Son Byeong Ji's case in point.
I'm not here to belabor the point.
Because what you saw, was Director Son's mental state after his condition had worsened,
that's why everyone here finds it difficult to agree.
But Lee Ji Haeng didn't have that problem.
This can indeed be the case from his neuroimaging test which detected some abnormality,
am I right, Professor Pak?
Yes, feeling blue, their senses dulled by the pain.
We should run some tests on his brain.
We found nothing unusual in the tests.
Look at that, don't the results speak for itself?
Those people who died from the M-virus infection, the common symptom is pulmonary haemorrhage.
A virus that simultaneously infect the organs and the nervous system is something I've not even heard before.
Yes that's right. A situation where the brain was not damaged
but instead the nerves were attacked directly,
that's something I can't understand how it could happen either, Professor Yun.
We had searched through the database for all the known viruses that had been researched by all the scientists in the world
and yet until now, we were unable to find the origins of the M-virus,
and so...!
Just because we have never seen this before, we can't just simply refute it.
I believe this is an extremely serious issue.
Even so, we can't just rely on just two cases!
And make a diagnosis based on something we have never seen before
that the virus can simultaneously infect the organs and the nerves.
Isn't that more risky?
Yes, yes, yes, we understand where the both of you are coming from.
But I hope that you don't speak to the reporters outside about this.
Mental disorder or whatever, words to that effect.
The death of that child
had already caused a big outcry out there.
Things will become worse if we add this matter to the fire that's already raging.
Let's have a talk.
I'm tired. Let's talk another day. Sorry.
When you have work, you normally wear a down jacket.
But recently you seem to be changing your coat frequently.
Yes, I was afraid unexpected situations might crop up.
Isn't it because you are trying to please someone?
As a scientist, I have great respect for Professor Yun.
If I have the kind of feelings that you are thinking of,
I won't ask him to come and help me.
Seeing how you were so tired, I was trying to joke with you.
Why are you being so sensitive?
Because I don't want to hear such jokes in the future.
Ji Ho. Ji Gun. Are you two asleep?
Don't call them. Look at the time now.
Let them sleep.
This is not the time for you to take it easy.
Then I'm going to go tomorrow.
When I'm caught, just you wait.
I will tell them everything that you instructed me to do.
You, Director Gim, Munyang Seafood.
Everything will come to an end. You're fine with that, right?
Do you still have the log that you took away?
How about doing an exchange?
Okay.
The Philippines.
I hate cold places.
Okay.
Fine.
Everyone on board the Munyangho died because of a mysterious disease.
A crew member together with the pollack were transferred to the Haesimho.
Now the Haesimho cannot be contacted.
If the Haesimho were to enter the harbor,
something serious is bound to happen.
This is to let you know.
Hello, what can I do for you?
Can you send this using your fastest courier?
Yes.
Write the postal code here. You can find it over there.
And write your name and address.
Thank you.
Hello, Su Jin.
Oppa, are you all right?
I'll go over. Where are you?
I'll be leaving tomorrow.
Leaving? Aren't you going to see me before you leave?
Let's meet and talk. Just like we did the last time.
Don't talk nonsense.
I just want to see you one last time. That way I will be able to carry on.
=Not long ago, deaths have been reported from a mysterious illness, this is Lee Mo reporting, =
=The CDC has issued a statement that they are focusing on investigating the cause.=
=Two of the patients who had been infected =
=had shown symptoms of neurological problems and both have died.=
=Some people are concerned whether there is no cure once infected by this virus.=
=The nation is considering whether the infectious disease has reached a critical stage that they should=
=increase it from caution to warning stage.=
Oppa.
What is that?
it's nothing.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Is it true that you are really leaving?
Yes.
Where do you want to go?
I just want to leave.
Can't you not go?
Not go?
Just like what we are doing now, see each other from time to time when we want to.
Seeing each other, will you be satisfied with that?
I want to hold you in my arms so badly it's driving me crazy.
I can't even hold your hand when you are right in front of me.
Even so...
You're really fine with that?
Honestly, you are scared too.
No.
Then you think you can hug me?
Are you willing to kiss me?
There's a door on that side, can you see it?
Then why don't you come over here?
If you open that door and walk over here, I won't go anywhere.
You can't do it?
Don't cry.
Why are you doing this to me, was it my fault?
Then is it my fault then?
How did things end up like this?
I'm also curious about that, that it drives me nuts!
Things were going great when we were working together in the convenience store.
Go. Go!
Go now.
Team Leader Gang.
Professor Yun.
It's good that you are in.
I was thinking of going out sometime today.
Anyway, what can I do for you?
A patient with suspected infection, won't there be a positive reaction?
That's right.
I would like to check with you again.
Perhaps one of those infected may have developed antibodies against the virus.
Yes.
We are now testing it on the lab animals.
Mammals, fishes and birds, none of them seems to get infected.
If that is the case,
our tests and research won't be able to produce an antibody against the virus.
Unless it's someone who has been infected, someone like Eo Gi Yeong.
But the answer lies in getting someone who's still not dead yet.
Yes.
His body has neutralizing antibodies that can neutralize its effects.
Ah, that, virus neutralization is a process whereby antibodies are produced that block viral activity.
That's why it's called virus-neutralization antibodies.
In Eo Gi Yeong's case, his body has the neutralization antibodies.
If we can duplicate the antibody that's in his body, then we can create synthetic antibodies.
All we need is Eo Gi Yeong's blood to do that.
Healthy promote i able to use blood.
But if we want to duplicate the antibody's paratope,
then we must extract his bone marrow.
As long as we can obtain Eo Gi Yeong's bone marrow, then we have hope.
Are there any clues from Eo Gi Yeong's friends?
No.
There's something else I want to ask you.
The ship that sunk, Munyangho, have you heard of it?
Yes.
Was Eo Gi Yeong its sole survivor?
Yes.
Before its sinking,
the refrigeration unit malfunctioned.
The outbreak of the viral infection,
I think it's due to that.
Do you think it could be related to this?
The freshness of the pollack had deteriorated...
I'm very sure the pollack is not the source of the virus.
If that is the case, the fish would have reacted to the virus in our trials.
That's right.
Since they said the refrigeration unit was damaged,
I think they would have dredged up some ice to maintain the coolness.
Ice floes?
Yes.
Recently, did you hear or see the ice in the North Pole had started to melt,
could this be...?
That... could be a lead.
Right.
What do you mean when you said you know the source of the virus?
I think we are almost there.
What is really happening?
The virus is not found in the database in the gene bank, isn't that so?
I found this through the online personal networks.
Among all the viruses in the world, roughly about 5%
are mutations from the virus genus Picomaviridae that's found in the Artic Region.
How can a parasitic virus living in the Artic region found its way here?
Didn't they say the ice in the Artic region contains the history of mankind?
There would have been viruses that has been frozen there.
Haven't you heard of this before?
Yes.
But recently, the ice sheets in the Artic region started to melt.
So this release the viruses inside the ice.
But even then, how can they travel from the Artic to here?
They didn't come here by themselves,
but were transported by ships.
A ship?
Who would do something like that?
This is Team Leader Gang Ju Hyeon's deduction.
If we think about it, it's something that's highly possible.
Ah, Team Leader Gang said the fishing vessel was trawling for fish in the Bering Sea.
Are you talking about the Munyangho?
Yes.
The refrigeration unit was damaged.
When that happened, they dredged up some ice floes to maintain the coolness.
But inside the ice floes there were viruses.
The crew members were to first be infected.
In the enclosed space of the ship, it proliferated quickly.
But one of the crew member came back alive.
How can there be something that reads like a novel?
Team Leader Gang is really amazing.
Detuctive reasoning is like seeing it with your own eyes.
Professor Yun, do you believe Team Leader Gang?
Don't we have the evidence here?
Nurse, how long more do I have to wait?
Please have a seat and wait a little longer.
We can start the treatment now.
What is it?
What's wrong?
Director.
Among our patients, I think there's this man.
What shall we do?
Are you sure?
I-I think s-so.
What are we going to do?
Hold on...
Report to the police. As long as we can delay him for 20 minutes, they''ll be here.
Go and get some disinfectant.
When he comes in, disinfect all the other patients outside.
Once we get hold of his contact number, ask him to go home first.
The physically therapy room-- No, no... I-I-I...
What about the police report?
The phone number is there.
I'll do that.
Just tell him we are getting ready.
Let him in, in 10 minutes time.
Do you understand?
How do you do? This is the Fisheries Department.
What? Where in Busan?
Can you please tell me the location and the name of your clinic.
Okay, I got it.
Hold on.
After completing the treatment, to get him to go to the physical therapy room.
That will probably take about 10 to 15 minutes.
Waiting for the physiotherapist will take about 5 to 10 minutes.
So it should be a minimum of 15 minutes to a maximum of 25 minutes.
Mr. Gim Min Sik.
Yes.
Please come in.
I came earlier than him.
Excuse me, Nurse.
Nurse. Nurse. Why are you not answering me?
Just let her go in first then.
Please go in then.
Yes.
Doctor.
I'm dying.
Be careful.
Here is the orthopaedic hospital.
There are 4 escape routes.
To arrange to deploy the personnel will take approximately 30 minutes.
It will take the patrol car approximately 10 minutes to reach there.
If the hospital can delay him for 15 minutes, then he's as good as a fish in the net.
As long as we get catch hold of Eo Gi Yeong, then we can proceed with our research, right?
In this area, if Professor Yun can't do it, no one else will be able to do it.
Professor Yun is now...?
He just left with Team Leader Gang.
Fire brigade has loaned us the use of its helicopter. They will fly in that.
This is to inform all the personnel.
We are investigation number 98 Banji Orthopaedic Surgery, Block 1, an infected person has appeared there.
Cordon off all the exits and wait for further instructions.
Those who are not wearing protective clothing, please do not go near him.
How do you feel?
Does it hurt a lot?
Here?
Painful?
Why are you pretending?
You should lose some weight.
The extra weight is putting pressure on your kidneys.
Wait here for a short while.
I'm afraid this patient will require a bit of time.
Those patients who have not had their X-ray taken, get them to take one now.
Yes.
Come, let me take a look first.
There's one here.
Go and get it done.
Yes.
Mr. Eo Gi Yeong! Go to the X-ray room please!
Mr. Eo Gi Yeong! X-ray...
-= Next Episode Preview =-
That is why he came to Busan.
The sinking of Munyangho, that was the key warning.
We'd surpassed the warning line, what are we to do?
He's thinking of being a stowaway.
1500 in cash. You must bring it here.
The date of departure has been confirmed.
If we were to leave tomorrow, you don't have a problem with that, do you?
They were the ones who let the ship sunk.
Still in the midst of their secret transactions.
Retreat.
Danger!
The Philippines.
I won't let them catch me, I will hide from them.
