- Kang Ju-hun speaking. - Where are you?
- Uh Ki-young… - Did you catch him?
We think he was smuggled out of the country.
Director Ahn Pan-seok
Are you sure?
Yes, Mr. Lee confessed to it.
He hooked Uh Ki-young up with a broker.
What should we do now?
- We catch him. - He’s not here anymore.
Whether he’s on a boat or a plane, up in the air or under water…
I need that guy brought to me no matter what.
I know, but…
The broker is on the wanted list, so let’s wait and see.
Uh Ki-young!
I believe you.
Everything that you say makes me believe you.
I knew you wouldn’t be happy, but I wanted to do something.
Your hypothesis was right.
I knew it, but no one believed you and I was frustrated.
If there are any survivors, they’ll need emergency treatment.
If one of us has to go,
it would be me.
I’ll explain a hypothesis right now.
Sir!
Are you that happy to see me?
Throw jabs, hooks and upper-cuts if you see a hole.
- Uh Ki-young is now… - You should be in a suit.
You’re not wearing one.
You’re not being considerate or polite.
Get out of here.
Uh Ki-young…
He’s in a container, hiding and not able to breathe.
He thinks he’ll be free once the ship leaves.
Remember what you told me?
The chances of dying from a virus are actually quite high.
You should double check and be careful.
I’m being very cautious right now.
The moment the container Ki-young is hiding in is moved onto a ship…
The moment I was infected,
I was no longer a collegue. I’m but an infected person to avoid.
Listen to me. It gets interesting.
The moment the container is on the ship,
ta-da!
Lieutenant Cha will jump on Ki-young with bright shiny hand-cuffs.
Then the story gets boring because it’s too predictable.
What do you think?
It’s ridiculous.
What made you change your mind?
You said you believed everything I said.
You can’t be emotional when you argue against a hypothesis.
You need to pick out logical reasons to make the opponent speechless.
A hypothesis loses objectivity the moment emotion gets involved.
The hypothesis gets confused with hope,
making a person exaggerate using unnecessary modifiers.
Logical flaw?
How do you find that when hypotheses were forced to make sense in the first place.
I want you to leave now.
I’m no friend or colleague, but an infected person.
You need more training.
I give you the orders, not the other way around.
Please just leave.
You’ve done enough for me as my boss.
I refuse to accept any more. Thanks for what you did.
Mr. Kim?
What you said on air was touching.
Too bad the results weren’t that good.
- Is Dr. Choi on his way? - Yeah.
I heard he has quite an amount of information on the M virus.
We’ll find out when he arrives.
He likes chatting with me, but doesn’t tell me details.
You were closer to him academically than I was.
If his experiments are showing great progress,
that must mean he managed to infect an animal with the virus.
Maybe…
You were good on TV, Dr. Yoon. You didn’t even look nervous.
It would’ve been nice if you had told me about your plans beforehand.
We’ll talk about spilt milk later.
I called all of you to the meeting to discuss future plans.
The situation in Busan is serious.
- Ms. Park? - Yes.
Several coast guards boarded the vessel
before realizing the spread of the virus.
Those coast guards are now infected.
Outside of that, infections are showing up in different areas.
We’ve started an investigation.
I understand the coast guards,
but why are others becoming infected?
Uh Ki-young stayed in Busan
after surviving from the sinking of the Moon Yang Ho.
I suspect he spread it then.
It means they were infected before Choi Jung-won.
Why are the symptoms showing now?
I believe some of the earlier infected people weren’t reported.
The number must be pretty big if it started speading then.
We’re checking each health center, so we’ll find out soon.
We’ll have a shortage of medical staff.
If only Dr. Kwak were okay…
I’d like to go and see how I can help.
That’s very generous of you,
but you need to be here for Dr. Choi.
I think it’s best if you helped him settle in as fast as he can.
I can go.
You?
- But you have to… - That’d be great
if you’re willing to do so.
I envy you in emergency situations for having experience in both research and field work.
- Are you leaving now? - After I stop by home.
You should stay.
You won’t be able to cure anyone even if you did go.
I think the experiments here are more pressing.
We have to be prepared under the presumption that there is a neutralizing antibody.
It will go as planned and Dr. Choi will be here soon.
I know there’s not much I can do in Busan.
But maybe I can find a way to lessen the pain.
What if…
Na-hyun got infected, too.
She did? On the Hae Sim Ho?
Mr. Kang must feel guilty.
Be careful, Gyu-jin.
I will.
Dr. Yoon is stronger that he seems.
It’s not that I don’t understand
why you act like his spokesperson as a concerned friend, but…
To call him by his first name...
You don't even call your husband by his first name in public.
I’ll watch what I say.
I worry about useless things as I get older.
Dr. Yoon!
Get in.
- I’ll take the shuttle. - It’ll take a while.
How do you feel about doing field work for a change?
I’m a bit nervous.
But you were always good in that side, too.
You were the only one Dr. Choi approved of the first month of our internship.
You’re the one who’s closer to Dr. Choi now.
I’m easy to pick on.
I think he’s uncomfortable around you.
He seems to think of you more as a colleague than a student.
You are better than him in some ways.
You can’t compare us when we’re doing separate research.
Yeah, you shouldn't get competitive when you’re fighting for the same goal.
It won’t be easy once you are actually at the site.
I know.
- Call me if you need help. - Will do.
Not my wife, but me.
I know they’re just idle rumors…
But sometimes you can’t ignore things within an institution.
Things that you didn’t think much of
end up growing too big and get out of hand.
I shouldn’t have brought that up.
Pretend you didn’t hear it.
All I want is to…
Never mind. Be safe.
Is something going on with Joo-hee?
Fine, I’ll tell you,
but only because you’re a friend.
People are talking because my wife keeps standing up for you.
Some even think there's something going on.
- They are saying you were lovers. - I don’t know what to say.
People that call themselves scientists are starting such rumors?
They’re only human.
That's ridiculous.
I’m not blaming you. I just want you to be cautious.
My wife has big dreams.
Drop me off over there.
Are you sure?
- Do I owe you an apology? - Of course not.
See you.
Where’s Mr. Kang?
Come this way.
He hasn’t eaten or gone to the bathroom.
He’s been sitting there for hours.
He’s listening to the phone conversation with the brokers over and over.
He must think we’re idiots.
So?
I told him to do whatever he wants, thinking he’d give up soon.
The broker that hooked Uh Ki-young up isn’t on our list.
That means we didn’t tap his phone.
- He would’ve asked for a room to himself. - And?
Solitary rooms aren’t normal for stowaways.
They’d call him crazy for such a request.
What he’s saying
is that Ki-young could have contacted other brokers for a solitary room.
How many files have you listened to?
Which one are you listening to?
This is the twelfth.
I’ll start listening from no. 15.
I’ll start at no. 20.
Hi, Mom.
- Are you all right? - Yeah.
The news about the M virus is terrifying.
Why did this have to happen as soon as you joined?
You don’t have to see the dead bodies that were infected, do you?
Newbies don’t get to see bodies.
I just sit in a lab and run blood tests.
Did you buy the scarves?
Are they warm?
I’m practically sweating under the scarves.
Why do you sound so tired?
Is that Sherlock Holmes not feeding you?
Not at all. He takes good care of me.
He’s pretty considerate.
He tries to comfort me.
Comfort you? Why?
Did something happen?
No, since I’m new.
I get tossed around like a ping-pong ball.
Did he comfort you because you were down?
Yeah, but he’s so bad at it.
I’ve never seen anyone so awkward and incoherent.
He even put a “Ta-da” in it. You should’ve seen his face.
How old is your boss?
Why?
I think he’s interested in you.
- No way. - You’re so clueless.
You were too busy studying, you don’t know guys.
Guys don’t comfort you unless they’re interested.
They know you’re hurting because they care and that’s why they worry about you.
That’s not true.
We’re just… How should I put it?
- It's just comradeship. - Whatever.
There’s no such thing between men and women.
You don’t know him.
How would I when you don’t tell me? What’s he like?
I can trust everything he says.
He furrows his brows when he drinks his coffee.
It’s out of habit, but looks like he’s in deep thought.
It looks special for some reason.
Do you know the feeling?
Like he’d know what to do if anything happened to me.
Hey! You like him, don’t you?
What? It’s not like that.
I can see you like him. Gosh, you’re so naïve.
I’m so curious to know what he’s like.
Have some of this.
- How did you know? - Know what?
That I like tuna and mayo. Wait, let me guess how.
You saw the records of my health exam.
You knew that I had gastritis,
and excluded spicy chicken, beef, squid, and anything else spicy,
and at the end you were left with the only obvious answer.
You should eat something.
This one.
- It’s so last minute. - I don’t know, but he sounded urgent.
He wants a room to himself and is paying 10,000 tomorrow and 10,000 on the day.
20,000 dollars?
Take the 10 grand tomorrow. We’ll see what we can do.
Can we arrest him right away?
Yeah.
Dad.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
Good.
- I heard you’re going to Busan. - Yes.
I can take her to the hospital.
No, Grandma. I want to go with daddy.
You’ll only burden him.
- Would I? - No, it’s fine.
It’s all right. I’ll take her.
All right. I’ll do some grocery shopping for the anniversary of your late wife’s death.
You seem indifferent. You’re usually like a zombie around this time of year.
Anyway, don’t buy her too many sweets.
- I won’t. - Dad.
- What did she say? - It’s a secret.
- What did she say? - She said it’s a secret.
How dare you, Soo-jung!
I’m the one who raised you but you’re just a daddy’s girl.
- See you. - Bye.
- See you, Grandma. - See you.
She’s in pretty good condition, thanks to her grandmother.
It’s the most difficult season for children with asthma.
My mom worries too much that Soo-jung would catch cold.
I’m only running tests on her because it’s been a while
and her breathing is heavy. But don’t worry about it.
Thank you so much. I know you’re busy.
You should tend to your other patients.
I’ll get going then.
I’m sure everything is fine, but I’ll call you with the results.
OK, thanks.
- Dad! - Hey, sweetie.
Good girl.
Let’s go. How were the tests?
How am I supposed to face Na-hyun?
It feels like yesterday that we played that joke on her.
- Dr. Yoon? - Yeah.
If we catch Uh Ki-young and retrieve the neutralizing antibody,
how long would it take to come up with a vaccine?
The simulation showed that it’s possible within a week.
I wonder how long the latency period is.
We have to get our hands on Uh Ki-young as soon as possible.
It’s over if he smuggled out of the country.
That’s the ship over there.
I hope the cargo truck comes on schedule.
Team 1 and 2! Search the truck!
Over here!
There must be some mistake.
Word couldn’t have gotten out.
What’s your nationality?
What’s your name?
Don’t you speak Korean?
Hey, get over here once you’re done translating.
OK.
Is this an act, you bastard?
How can you have no ID?
- I’m taking his prints. - Go ahead.
- Why you son of a… - Be gentle.
It won’t look good if you hit someone in cuffs.
He’s drooling. Wipe it off for him.
Were you bit by a dog with rabies?
What’s wrong with him? His eyes are out of focus.
We’ll know once we have your prints.
Don’t make it hard for both of us.
Answer the question.
You’re Korean, aren’t you?
Aren’t you?
Here. Take a sip.
Take a sip. Drink it.
You want a smoke?
Do you really not understand?
- What about mug shots? - We’ll take them.
Get up.
Get up so we can take pictures.
Take him. I’m taking a leak.
Yes.
What happened?
This was a separate investigation from Uh Ki-young’s.
The foreigners’ task force that was on it for a month, was watching the alley
and raided the truck.
Why today?
And why is it so hard to find out their identities?
It takes time to find translators.
He’d stand out if he were in the midst of foreigners.
No one is saying a thing and they’re either Chinese or Vietnamese.
They look similar to Koreans.
Anyway, they’ll call us when they find out.
Stand right here. Stand still.
Stop that. I said stop it.
Sergeant Oh?
What?
This guy is crazy.
What the heck are you doing?
Bring me some water.
You’re trying to hide your face, you bastard?
Is there a reason you can’t be on camera?
Why are you doing this? Talk to me.
You understand me, don’t you?
Here you go.
You’ll look good on camera.
- Excuse me. - What? Do you know this guy?
- Huh? - What?
- He’s wanted. - Who is?
It’s Uh Ki-young, the guy who’s infected.
What?
No...
This will kill all of you. Move it.
Put that down. You can’t run anywhere.
Give me the handcuff key.
All right. I’ll give it to you if you put the bucket down.
Give it to me.
Get out of the way.
The infected Uh Ki-young has stolen police car 7678.
He’s headed toward the fish market.
Block off the roads and fire at him on sight. Don’t let him slip away.
We've discovered the runaway.
We are following him.
The man is infected with the M virus.
He is driving a police car. Do not make contact with him.
Rescue teams 1, 2, please go to the scene.
The virus carrier has fallen off the bridge.
Do not contact him without a protective suit.
- Is it Uh Ki-young? - Yes.
Sir!
Mr. Kang!
We found him.
I was sick in my dream.
My internal organs were bleeding, my skin was rotting and I couldn’t breathe.
What are you doing?
No, the patient has to sign his agreement.
- I’ll do it. - What are you doing?
What if the bastard dies?
You’d be charged with manslaughter.
- Don’t be rash. - Let go.
I don’t think this is right. Unless he's dead...
- Let go of me! - Mr. Kang!
- Where is it? - Mr. Kang!
We need to extract it now.
We don’t have time. Na-hyun is dying.
How do I do this?
Uh Ki-young isn’t dead yet.
You have to respect his life.
We might lose someone who deserves more respect because of him.
You don’t get to judge that.
Right there, where you left index finger is.
- I’ll do it. - No, let me.
Hold the needle verdically and push until it doesn’t go in.
Slant the needle slightly toward his buttocks.
Then pull the syringe.
Right now. Pull the piston.
We are now collecting your bone marrow.
We will only use it to develop antibodies and a vaccine.
It’s done.
Save him.
I’m Kang Ju-hun of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Sue me if you want to. I’ll be waiting.
File everything you saw on your report.
Don’t add or omit anything.
Is it true that Mr. Kang collected the marrow?
Yeah.
- We’ll talk later. - Hey!
Don’t feel responsible.
I thought you poked the others with something that looks like a pen.
Why is it different for me?
You may leave.
We usually use the diagnosis kit.
However, those who came in direct contact with the infected need a thorough check-up.
Should I do it?
No, sir. Let me do it.
You’ll be all right.
A video of him jumping off the Namhan Bridge is all over the Internet.
I know.
They must think catching Uh Ki-young means that we have a cure.
They’re praising Mr Kang. What if we don’t come up with a vaccine?
The blame will be on us.
It’s because the public was too focused on catching Uh Ki-young.
That’s not the only problem.
We collected Uh Ki-young’s bone marrow without his consent.
How is it going?
I saw it delivered to the lab.
He has to have a neutralizing antibody.
They’ll notify us when they have the results of the cell neutralizing experiments.
Can a vaccine be made within a few days if we have the neutralizing antibody?
Dr. Yoon is a cautious person.
But he's confident that he can do it.
Have you ever considered
that his cautiousness put Mr. Kang in a hard place?
We’ll have to hear what happened before jumping to conclusions.
I’m not trying to blame Dr. Yoon.
I’m just wondering why Mr. Kang took the bone marrow with a doctor present.
It doesn’t make sense.
That means that Dr. Yoon sat there watching.
He must have thought that saving Uh Ki-young was first, while Mr. Kang thought differently.
- Did you talk to Mr. Kang? - No, he’s in quarantine.
- Is Uh Ki-young alive? - Yes.
- Is he conscious? - Not yet.
Mr. Kang could be charged with attempted murder if he doesn’t wake up.
This is complicated.
Uh Ki-young would’ve died anyway if he were left in the water.
Mr. Kang was the one who saved him
and he's also the one who put Uh Ki-young’s life at risk.
It’s not because he took bone marrow, but because it was while Mr. Uh was unconscious.
Even in the extenuating circumstances,
Mr. Kang did a medical procedure when he’s not a doctor.
That itself is a crime.
There are exemptions for well-intended medical procedures.
But the problem is Dr. Yoon.
Mr. Kang could be exempt if there wasn’t a doctor present.
However, a doctor was right there and that would eliminate the possibility of exemption.
Does Uh Ki-young have any family?
- Did you say he has a single mother? - Yes.
Keep an eye on the mom and human rights groups just in case this blows up.
Got it.
The public can be persuaded easily.
If someone starts saying the CDC
took bone marrow and risked a person’s life instead of protecting his health,
this could become a grave matter.
We should have chosen a doctor,
not an ex-military policeman.
It was when I was newly appointed and I’m paying for my mistakes.
This is not your fault.
Ms. Park is my wife, but she can be hardheaded.
I tried to talk her out of choosing Mr. Kang because there was too much talk.
I told her we couldn’t hire someone who acts before he thinks.
I’m not criticizing Mr. Kang, but it’s a fact.
I still think his courage to jump is admirable when the other cops were watching.
If only he thought twice about the bone marrow.
That’s what I’m saying.
It would have been all right if he let Dr. Yoon do it.
Hang in there.
Mr. Kang caught Uh Ki-young, the carrier.
Dr. Yoon is copying the antibody. It won’t take long.
Mr. Kang is amazing, isn’t he?
He jumped from the Namhan Bridge and dragged the carrier out with his bare hands.
It’s hard to find people with that sense of duty.
No one is getting the important point.
Your absence seemed too big today.
Get better soon.
How did they get this on camera?
It shows exactly how Mr. Kang jumped in the water.
They’re calling him a hero.
The comments are insane.
Isn’t he cool, though?
The moment he said “Na-hyun is dying,”
it tore my heart.
That’s what a boss should be like.
- You idiot. - What?
People keep mentioning his responsibility and sacrificial spirit.
- But I don’t think it’s just that. - What then?
I say they have a thing.
I’ll bet you 100 dollars.
Who do you mean by "they?" Mr. Kang and Na-hyun?
Geez. No way.
They haven’t known each other for that long.
A relationship isn’t proportional to time.
They raided the ship company and Dr. Son’s hospital togther.
It’s somewhat exciting. One thing led to another…
I still don’t think so.
Who do we have to meet first?
Na-hyun.
What are you doing here?
Shouldn’t she be sent to the special quarantine facility?
It was full.
That’s no excuse.
It’s only for a while.
Why did you go on the Hae Sim Ho?
I’ll show you an awesome video.
This will make your day.
It’s Mr. Kang diving into the water.
He got Uh Ki-young’s bone marrow.
It’s only a matter of time before Dr. Yoon makes the vaccine.
Don’t lose hope and hang in there.
What about Mr. Kang?
I just told you we have Uh Ki-young’s antibody
and you’re asking about Mr. Kang?
Aren’t you happy that you might be able to live?
Where is Mr. Kang?
He’s in quarantine inspection.
- Is he in this building? - Yes.
- Can we give him a message for you? - Can I go with you?
- Just 5 minutes. - OK.
Na-hyun!
- Are you all right? - Yeah.
That’s good.
I had to ask you something.
- It wasn’t because of me, was it? - What do you mean?
You took his bone marrow without his consent and broke medical law.
Are you asking if I did this for you?
You overestimate me.
It just happened. I wasn’t doing it for anyone.
There wasn’t time to think clearly.
I’m no hero.
Can you promise me one thing?
Promise you?
I…
- As your boss… - As your boss…
- Did the best I could till the end. - Did the best…
I won’t blame myself no matter what happens to Na-hyun.
Thanks for everything.
I’m glad I can thank you.
He’s one of us.
As the head of an organization
I cannot let pass a person who clearly committed a crime.
What we need now is not crisis management abilities.
What we need is a character who respects
the need to maintain order within the organization.
Dr. Yoon deserves some time to bask in the glory.
It’s been long since you’ve been in the lab, huh?
I will need to do clinical trials to know for sure.
I would like to do it
