Dr. Choi?
Dr. Yoon. I think I've been infected.
What am I going to do?
- Dr. Choi, are you in there? - Stay outside!
Dr. Choi?
Shut this lab down! It's been contaminated!

Director Ahn Pan-seok
Dr. Yoon.
The research data at my camp is all I have.
I don't understand why the research has to take place there.
It has to.
The world has to know the greatness of my camp's accomplishment.
Hee-sang will see to that.
What does he know?
He doesn't know anything.
He couldn't.
The shutdown procedure has started.
So we're stuck here until the fumigation is finished.
Aren't you afraid of becoming infected?
You could have left here if you wanted to.
Of course, you'd never deviate from the manual.
You can't leave because you're contaminated.
The infected are treated like dogs
for the good of the greater population.
It's such a cruel manual.
It'll take them at least 2 hours to finish the procedure.
Let's talk until then.
I have so much to tell you.
I think I'd better stay in the other room.
You'd better not rile me up.
Didn't you see the crazy mice?
They were dying to infect the others.
So sit down and listen to what I have to say.
It'd be a pity if I took what's inside my head to the grave.
Aren't you curious?
10 years ago, I became embroidered in a dispute over research funds
when my research didn't provide expected results.
I even had to quit the school.
That's when Hee-sang came to me.
He showed me the rough draft of your paper
and asked me to complete the research.
I turned him down at first.
But when I read that rough draft,
I realized that it was my last chance.
The last chance to right my life.
It was only a rough draft, after all.
And you were young enough that you would have more chances.
I decided to continue my research somewhere in the middle of nowhere
than be brought to shame in front of everyone I knew.
But how...
When you make a deal with the devil,
it's like you're falling head over heels for someone.
You forget about everything else.
You do away with all your moral qualms
and think with a single-mindedness like an obsessive compulsive.
- Isn't Dr. Choi answering? - No.
Hello? Park Joo-hee speaking.
What? Are you sure?
Who's inside the lab?
OK. I understand.
- What's going on? - What's the matter?
Move out of the way!
What are you trying to do?
I'm hiding the fact that I've been infected.
You'll be quarantined as soon as we're outside.
No.
I'll quarantine myself.
Tell everyone that I've collapsed from fatigue.
And you lead the support team in my place.
I'll teach you everything I know.
You complete the research at my camp in Franz Joseph Land,
and I'll complete it here in Seoul.
Don't worry.
I'll give you credit too.
What do you think about my proposal?
I'll give you credit for research that took me a decade.
Somebody has to complete it.
We need to save the infected.
You're the only one who can do it.
You won't tell people that I plagiarized your paper?
You would never do that.
You'll tell people.
You're wracked with guilt because you think
that all the people are dying because of you.
I'll complete the cure by myself.
By yourself?
You're out of your mind.
How about all the dying?
A thousand people will die each day.
And it'll be too late to regret it.
I'll send somebody else to your camp.
If your research is truly worthy,
people will give you recognition.
Recognition?
A mention of my name in your research paper?
While you get all of the real credit?
I would never do that.
- Really? - I would never sell myself out.
So, you think I've sold out, is that it?
Do you detest me?
You don't understand my actions at all?
How can I understand what I detest most in the world?
It's a pity about Dr. Hong.
She's such a nice lady.
Isn't she your daughter's chief physician?
You don't get it, do you?
Remember the mice?
They were able to tell who was infected and who wasn't.
Didn't I tell you?
I can tell who's been infected as well.
I ran into her and she knew that I was infected right away.
She told me something very interesting.
She said that she knew a way to make you work even harder to make the cure.
Your daughter.
That's who Dr. Hong is going to infect.
It's your daughter's examination day today.
Stop lying to me!
You think that a person like me that you once respected,
would tell you a blatant lie?
That's funny.
- That didn't even cross my mind. - Don't you dare lie to me!
Tell me it's a lie!
Tell me!
Isn't there any way to find out what's going on inside the lab?
No. Both the security cameras and interphone are cut off.
Have they been cut off on purpose?
That seems likely.
What in the world could be happening in there?
Are you certain that Dr. Choi is inside?
According to the entrance logs, that seems to be the case.
- Dr. Yoon, too? - Yes.
Was there an accident during an experiment?
I doubt he was experimenting so close to his departure time.
Is there nothing we can do until the shutdown procedure is finished?
No, nothing at all.
Why would he go in the lab on the day of the departure?
Hello? Jung Sang-sook speaking.
We need to push back the departure time.
What?
Any survivors?
OK. I understand.
4 members out of 5 in Dr. Choi's camp were infected and died.
The survivor could be a carrier like Uh Ki-young.
That survivor has gone missing.
This means that it's highly likely that Dr. Choi's been infected.
Let's go to the BL3 lab.
- We need to find out what's going on. - You can't do that.
Dr. Choi spent most of his time at the Center.
He spent extended periods with all of the people here.
- Dae-ik. - Yes?
- Na-hyun. - Yes?
Bring the diagnostics kits.
No one may leave until they've been tested.
What are you trying to do?
It's not certain that...
- ...Dr. Choi's been infected. - We don't need to be certain.
We can order a complete shutdown based on suspicion alone.
Mr. Kang is right.
Please follow the Epidemiology Team's instructions.
Mr. Kim.
We can't know any more even if we go to the BL3 lab.
So please calm down.
Mr. Park.
Please have patience and we'll take care of things as quickly as possible.
The most important thing is to find out whether you've been infected or not.
It's highly probably that Dr. Choi's been infected.
We have to discuss what to do in that case.
Well, first,
we'll have to quarantine him...
- ...along with Dr. Yoon. - Mr. Kang.
What do you think?
I think we should issue a code 212.
I agree with Mr. Kang.
Director?
This is Jung Sang-sook of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
All members of our staff,
please stay at your locations
until safety measures and blood tests are completed
or until further notice is given.
We are issuing a code 212.
- Turn off your engine, sir. - What's going on?
Are you Mr. Han Gi-joo of the Respiratory Virus Team?
Yes.
- And you work on the 8th floor? - Yes.
Please get out of the car. You have to be quarantined.
You'll be allowed to leave after your test.
What in the world is going on?
Let me repeat.
There is a possibility that the entire Center has been contaminated.
All members of the Quarantine Ward should be checked for the virus.
We will finish the tests as soon as possible,
so refrain from any outside contact
until you have been cleared of the virus.
I shouldn't have destroyed the interphone.
Joo-hee would have given you the code if you asked her.
I know she does everything by the book,
but it's for you, her old flame.
I'm the one who infected Dr. Hong.
It would have been better had we never met.
Why did we have to choose the same field?
If only you weren't my student.
If I were your student instead,
I could have been content to live in your shadow.
It's almost time for your daughter's examination.
Dr. Hong lectures in the morning
and makes her rounds in the afternoon.
A doctor who infects her patients...
You'd better keep a cool head if you want to save your daughter.
Go to my camp and finish the cure.
Thanks to your daughter...
What was her name?
Dr. Hong told me...
Soo...
I thought you never lost your temper.
You have the galls to hit your old mentor?
I thought you had unbreakable self-control?
I shouldn't have told you about Dr. Hong.
You'd at least have peace of mind while you were locked in here.
I see you're no different than others when you're desperate.
You could be contaminated, but you're still struggling to get out.
All people are the same.
We all rage against our fate
when we're cast into the fire.
And in that rage,
we don't care what harm we cause to others.
We're all doomed to die in the end.
What's the point of struggling?
Director Jung Sang-sook.
Negative.
This is making me tense.
Park Joo-hee. Negative.
Park Se-jung.
Positive.
Wait.
I know this is devastating. But don't loose hope.
We'll do our best to develop a cure.
Kim Hee-sang.
Negative.
Thank you.
Hong Soon-chul. Negative.
- Lee Hun-woo. Negative. - Thank you.
Yoo Jae-sang. Negative.
Kim Myung-hun.
Positive.
Is that everybody?
- Yes. - Actually...
We have to test ourselves.
We'll test each other.
I'll do it.
It's all right. I can do it.
Negative.
So, everyone here's been tested, right?
Dr. Hong Ji-sun hasn't been tested.
She's busy with her lectures and her patients.
She called me yesterday.
So, we'll have to test Dr. Hong separately.
I'm positive.
He asked to be assigned to this place.
Poor kid.
It's a pity. Did you notify their families?
Yes.
When will the automatic fumigation of the BL3 lab be finished?
The door of BL3 has been breeched.
- It's been breached? - Security is checking it out.
This is an announcement to all employees.
The BL3 lab has been breeched.
Dr. Yoon Gyu-jin has escaped.
Please refrain from touching him without a protective suit.
We have an escapee.
He's an employee of the Center wearing a gray cardigan and brown pants.
He is thought to have been infected by the virus strain.
- Please, step on it. - Yes, sir.
- My child is very sick. - Yes, sir.
Dr. Choi!
Na-hyun. Check if he's infected.
That won't be necessary.
I've already checked.
Are you infected?
But you said you were almost finished with the cure.
You can test the vaccine on yourself.
So, why aren't you doing anything?
I asked Dr. Yoon to finish the cure.
But he wouldn't listen.
I helped fund your research.
Why ask Dr. Yoon to finish it?
I'll do it.
I have the right to do it.
You really think you can?
Why did Dr. Yoon run away?
He's gone to wage a personal war.
A war that he can't win.
Take him to Quarantine.
- Hello? - Mother!
Where are you right now?
I'm at the hospital, of course.
- Mother... - Soo-jung's here for her checkup.
Get out of there, now!
What do you mean?
Take Soo-jung and get out of the hospital!
But Dr. Hong is right here.
- Shall I put her on? - No!
Get out of there right now!
Sir? Where are you going?
The customer cannot answer the phone. Please leave a message after the tone.
Hello? I'm on my way to Seyeon University Hospital.
What for?
The cab driver said that that was his destination.
He also spoke to his mother on the phone
and told her to get out of the hospital.
He's probably on his way to the pediatric ward.
His daughter Soo-jung
is the only person that could make him like that.
How should I handle Dr. Yoon?
Do it by the book.
I think we should leave.
It's getting pretty late.
Huh?
I think we've found him.
Over here!
Is somebody inside?
We're from the Dasan Station.
Hello? Is anybody in there?
We're from Dasan Korean Arctic Research Station.
Mr. Kim Sung-ho?
Am I going to live?
What happened to everyone?
I don't know. Everyone started going crazy.
And died off one by one.
Why did you come all the way here?
That bastard tried to kill me.
I had to get away from him.
Do you think you can get up?
Will you take me back to Korea?
Hello?
You're so gullible.
I was just joking about your daughter.
It was a crying shame.
You're just like everyone else.
You lost it when you became desperate.
Thank you for showing me how low you really are.
Now, we're even.
Where are we?
We're at longitude 39.
Dr. Choi guaranteed that he had the cure.
And look what Dr. Yoon did.
You can't trust anybody these days, it seems.
Maybe Dr. Choi really is close to the cure?
If that were true,
he would have first tried to cure himself.
He played us all for fools.
The urgent matter at hand
is our lack of manpower.
We don't have enough staff in Quarantine.
We have to start moving patients to the hospital in Incheon tomorrow.
But we don't have enough medical staff.
We'll have to issue a bulletin to all the hospitals
and ask the advisory committee for their assistance.
I agree.
Do you really think that's for the best?
Do you think it's wise
to extend the lives of patients when the prospects of a cure are dismal?
What do you mean?
Are you sure that's what the people of this nation want?
- Well... - What we really need
are more police in order to make sure that no more patients escape.
Without a cure, the best solution
is to let the virus die out along with the patients.
How could you say that as a scientist?
It's because I see no other way.
This virus isn't like anything else we've seen before.
Human civilization as we know it could come to an end.
But a few lost lives could help save everyone else.
There has to be sacrifices.
We can't let our emotions get in the way of doing the right thing.
This is a crucial point in the history of man.
Hello? What?
Are you sure?
Of course we'll take him in.
OK. I understand.
They've found Kim Sung-ho, the survivor from Dr. Choi's camp.
- Has he also been infected? - That's what they think.
His fever won't respond to medication and he's going in and out of consciousness.
The fact that he's still alive
could mean that he's a carrier.
That would be a stroke of luck.
If he has antibodies,
we could artificially copy them to develop a cure.
Where is he right now?
At Oslo International.
The authorities won't let him leave because of his condition.
- Please take care of it, Ms. Park. - Yes, ma'am.
Home
I'm sorry I'm late.
It's all right, Dr. Hong.
I'm sorry about the incident.
- If only I had talked to Dr. Yoon. - Even if you had,
I doubt he'd have believed you in his aroused state.
By the way, are Dr. Yoon's test results in?
I was wondering about how you were feeling.
I'm so glad that you came out negative.
They found a survivor in Dr. Choi's camp.
We'll have to wait a few days to confirm the symptoms.
A fellow named Kim Dae-ik helped us quite a bit.
But he's been infected.
I know you're upset, but please take heart.
- I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. - No.
I need some time to myself.
You were feeling sorry for Mr. Uh Ki-young.
Now, you're feeling sorry for yourself?
Can't you see how powerless we are
no matter how we try to stop this thing?
Can't you see the fear of death in people's eyes
when they're diagnosed with the virus?
I know that you despise yourself for acting that way.
But people's lives are more important
than your personal issues, doctor!
Don't presume that you know me.
Don't presume that I don't.
I have a feeling that Kim Sung-ho is the carrier.
He survived for 2 days in the frigid weather.
He has to be the carrier.
- Na-hyun. - Yes?
- If I become crazy... - Dae-ik!
- We'll find a cure. - And start acting strange,
please make sure to tie me up so I don't harm anyone.
And even if visitations are allowed,
please don't let my mother see me.
You're not going to go crazy.
I'll put money on it.
- Ten bucks. - I'm scared.
It's like something's happening inside of me.
You asleep?
I know you're awake.
You heard the cop in the visitation room was infected, right?
I'm the one who infected him.
It was a rush.
I heard you tried to infect Kang Ju-hun. You want me to help?
I'm in front of your home.
How could you send your own child to quarantine...
Something's going on inside the quarantine hospital.
The only solution is to find someone who's fought the virus and won.
Spread it to your families...
How horrible...
Please save my Ji-hoon.
...lovers and neighbors...
You deserve to die before I do!
Where are you, Na-hyun?
The infected are stabbing anyone in sight.
Infect as many people are you can.
