Episode 11
This isn't a hospital. It's a prison.
Iron gates have been installed in all of the entranceways
and they're guarded by police.
This is a prison disguised as a hospital.
What are they trying to do by locking us up here?
Production Chief Park Joon-suh, Bae Ik-hyun
Hey, we're in the same room again.
Script Park Hye-ryun
Director Ahn Pan-seok
Dr. Choi?
If you're here, what about the cure?
Is there no hope?
Mom, can I take this off?
No. You can't take it off.
Where are we going? Aren't we going to the clinic?
No, we're going to another hospital.
- Mom, I need to pee. - OK.
What's wrong, honey?
Honey?
It feels cold.
- Can't I take it off? - No.
Please hang on, honey.
You can't take it off.
Mom, blood.
It's all right, Ji-hoon. Close your eyes.
Please stop crying.
Close your eyes.
Hello? You must be very busy these days.
- Doctor. - Yes?
Do you have an extra room in your hospital?
A room in our hospital?
Yes, I have a patient here
and his mother doesn't want to send him to the quarantine hospital.
This isn't like you.
You know better than anyone that that isn't possible.
I've already sent 3 children there today.
Their mothers were begging me not to but what could I do?
That could end up killing everyone.
I'm sorry.
Are you asleep, dear?
Did you turn your phone off?
Ms. Park said that you weren't answering.
Hello?
I'm in front of your home. Could you come outside?
Gyu-jin...
What's the matter?
Please save my Ji-hoon.
What happened to him?
He's been infected.
How could this happen?
I guess when I asked you to save people until now,
it was just talk.
But now I'm begging you, please save my son!
I can't let that young thing die!
Joo-hee!
Park Joo-hee!
Joo-hee!
I'll give it a try.
This is so frustrating!
It's like I'm lying in my coffin waiting to be buried.
Is death the only way out of here? Huh?
I know you people aren't sleeping.
There's no other way.
Our only hope is in here with us so it's game over.
Then what are all these IV's for?
It's a way for them to alleviate their guilt.
Dr. Choi, I heard that you were close to developing a cure.
How about Dr. Yoon Gyu-jin?
Wasn't he also working on a cure?
He made the last vaccine in no time.
If they're able to find the carrier...
What use is that if we're all already dead?
He's right.
If we're all already dead,
it would be of no use to us even if they were to come up with
some kind of miracle cure.
So, is there a cure or not?
Currently, there's no cure anywhere in this world.
Bastards!
They locked us up here even though they can't even cure us!
Locking people up and waiting for them to die is what they do.
After you've been infected, you're no longer human to them.
You're just a virus that has to be eradicated.
Do you know what they really want?
They want us to die quickly.
- That can’t be. - Put yourself in their shoes.
Without a cure, they have to kill off the virus.
And the virus will die if we die.
So they've herded us in here to die?
That's the only way they'll survive.
Those IV's might seem like they're extending your lives,
but they might be killing you instead.
So, we're doomed to die inside this room?
The only way for us to live is to find the carrier.
The man who was infected by M2 but survived.
I know that.
But they can't find the carrier.
So you're just going to give up?
- We can make a carrier instead. - What do you mean?
The more infected people there are,
the more likely that there'll be a carrier.
So in order to make a carrier,
we have to infect people?
If the scientists can't help us, we have to help ourselves.
But that's immoral.
There's no need to feel guilt.
You're all probably feeling it.
The desire to spread the virus.
It feels like you'll burn up inside if you don't spit it out.
It's your instinct to survive.
Why should we feel guilty about our instinct to survive?
Ji-hoon.
Ji-hoon?
We're here, honey.
Mommy will come back for you.
The whole house reeks of antiseptic.
Is something wrong?
The director called me saying that she couldn't contact you.
What's wrong?
What is it?
If this is going to take a while, I'll go and change.
It's Ji-hoon.
What about him?
I sent him to the quarantine hospital in Incheon.
What?
He's been infected.
Are you sure?
I ran his blood 12 times.
How about Ji-ho? He's also running a fever.
Ji-ho is all right.
How about the symptoms? The spots?
They appeared faintly on this side.
You're so cold!
How could you send your own child to quarantine...
- ...without even a call to me? - I wanted to.
I wanted to call you badly because I was so scared
You're the only person I could talk to.
But I didn't because I knew this is how you would react.
You would want to hide Ji-hoon and I'd agree with you.
Let's sit over here.
Lonely without me?
Yeah, I miss you a lot, kiddo.
But Mr. Kang and Na-hyun are so good at what they do.
It's not a matter of work.
You know how when someone gets power, he looks after his own?
I used to hate that kind of thing.
But not anymore?
What I wouldn't give to have you as my right-hand man again.
What I wouldn't give to be your right-hand man again.
I shouldn't have said that.
It's all right.
Now that I’m sick, I know who's on my side for sure.
Mr. Kang...
When he jumped into the sea to save Na-hyun,
I thought it was due to a sense of duty.
But?
I don't want to badmouth anyone.
It's all right. We're the only ones here.
You thought it was due to a sense of duty, but?
He hasn't visited me once since this happened.
Not once?
He came by on business but he never asked me how I was doing.
What did I tell you?
His sense of duty is just a cover-up.
I know. Being sick made me realize lots of things.
- Mr. Park? - Yes?
What is it?
You can turn me down if you want...
I want to write an email to my colleagues.
Of course. You couldn't contact anyone before you were quarantined.
I want to email them while I’m still sane.
Stop it! Some people don't go crazy.
- OK. - So?
Could you bring me a tablet computer?
You can't, can you?
It's against the rules to bring anything in here.
It's all right.
Shouldn't you get going?
Don't worry about it.
Dae-ik...
I'll see what I can do.
Really?
You can start.
Hello.
I’m Dr. Choi Soo-chul of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC's job is to prevent and take action against epidemics,
combat chronic diseases,
support organ donations and transplants.
Also, it is our job to stop the spread of diseases from abroad.
Despite all our efforts, we've failed to stop the M2 virus.
The M2 is a pathogen like no other kind that we've seen before.
There are no vaccines, let alone cures.
And the mortality rate is 100%.
I have been infected.
Also, there are other patients in my room that have been infected.
We have been imprisoned.
However, quarantine cannot prevent the spread of the disease.
The disease spreads at a truly horrific pace.
Therefore, quarantine and control are not the answer.
The only solution is to find someone who's fought the virus and won.
The problem is, nobody knows who that person is.
That person has probably not been infected yet.
So, must we watch our children, parents and spouses die every day
until they find someone who has antibodies?
No. We must find that person as soon as possible.
In order to do that...
In order to do that,
we must spread the disease.
The faster it is spread, the more lives we will be able to save.
Take to the streets if you must.
Spreading the disease is the only way for all of us to survive this together.
Spread it to your families, lovers and neighbors.
- Ma'am! - Hello.
Hello.
How is Min-ji doing?
I couldn't visit her because they don't allow visits at the quarantine hospital.
Min-ji misses you and her classmates a lot.
I bought some pizza since it's her birthday today.
I wish Min-ji could bring this here herself.
The pizza is from her so please enjoy it.
You're too kind, ma'am.
Quiet!
That video sent shivers down my spine.
I couldn't believe Dr. Choi would do such a thing.
He's a scientist!
He's turned into a calculating monster.
I could tell that he made the video on purpose.
It was shot using a tablet computer.
But it's impossible to take in smart phones or tablets.
It was Mr. Park Do-gyeong. Remember Kim Dae-ik?
He tested us for the virus.
- He was part of the epidemiology team. - Yes.
He asked Mr. Park to bring him a tablet.
How could he let his emotions get the better of him?
He's thrown this entire country into chaos.
You bastard!
How could you do this to me?
Why did it have to be me? You played me for a fool!
You could have asked Kang Ju-hun or Lee Na-hyun!
How dare you laugh after ruining my career!
But I'm your right-hand man.
What does that mean?
It means that we live together and we die together.
We have to be together til the end.
What's going on? Are you all right?
Get up...
Now, you're one of us.
Go.
Shout for the guards.
Call the police.
Tell them what happened and they'll send you back in here.
You've been infected, after all.
Did I hurt you?
I'm sorry.
How is Mr. Kim Sung-ho doing?
We'll talk on the way.
- I'll drive. - Thanks.
He lost consciousness thrice due to his fever.
What do you think?
So fever and cough are his only symptoms?
Yes.
You're sure he's been infected?
Yes.
He even infected one of his escorts.
More and more people are becoming infected.
You think he's the carrier?
All the others at the camp died and he's the only survivor.
So it's highly likely that he's the carrier.
If he is, how long will it take you to copy the artificial antibodies?
I'll have to do it as fast as I can.
Ji-hoon's already showing symptoms.
I've done it once before, so it'll take less time.
Hello?
We just moved Mr. Kim Sung-ho to ICU.
That's right.
- How about his symptoms? - There are no spots or hemorrhaging.
Then collect his marrow.
That won't be possible yet.
He's not awake and his blood pressure is too low.
We'll have to wait a little longer.
I understand why Mr. Kang collected marrow without Mr. Uh's consent.
I barely kept myself from ordering Na-hyun
to do the same.
Over there!
Are you all right, sir?
Dr. Choi!
Kim Sung-ho is alive?
Yes, Mr. Kim is alive.
He's the carrier...?
Dr. Choi!
Don't be scared.
I'm just giving you a sedative so you can sleep.
Be quiet!
Get down!
I'm gonna stab anyone who makes eye contact with me.
I said, get down!
빨리 나와!
Get out of here, doctor!
What do you mean?
The infected are stabbing anyone in sight.
We're the only ones left! You'd better get out!
I'm afraid you can't go inside.
What's going on?
The patients are rioting.
- Rioting inside the quarantine hospital? - Yes.
Over here!
Is somebody inside?
We're from the Dasan Station.
Mr. Kim Sung-ho?
Where are we?
This is all your fault.
You're the one who infected me!
You deserve to die before I do!
It's only fair.
I'm sure Ji-hoon is fine.
There's only kids in that hospital room.
He must be so scared.
Where's the squadron captain?
Hold on.
Hello?
Where are you, Na-hyun?
Where are you, Mr. Kang?
I'm on my way to the quarantine hospital.
I heard there was a riot.
Yes, the infected are angry.
Where are you right now?
I'm somewhere safe so don't worry.
I thought you might have stayed in order to protect Kim Sung-ho.
What happened to him?
The doctor helped me extract his marrow
and I got out of there safely, so please don't worry.
I was scared when I heard about the riot.
I thought you...
That I would do something reckless and get myself killed?
Don't worry. I didn't do anything like that.
I always trust you but you never trust me.
OK. I'll see you later.
OK.
You're awake, Mr. Kim. Can you hear me?
Is there anything you want to say?
Where are you?
You're in Korea in the quarantine hospital in Incheon.
Dr. Choi Soo-chul?
He's passed away.
Try to conserve your energy.
There's no way to get inside.
If we aggravate them any further,
there's no telling what will happen.
There's an important patient inside. We have to get him out.
Or if I could get inside...
I'm sorry, but we were told to be careful that no one got hurt during the riot.
The world's major news outlets are broadcasting the riot in real time.
Couldn't we explain the situation to them?
- There's a way to save them. - There's no reasoning with them.
We have to do something!
I'll do it.
This is Park Joo-hee of the CDC.
I understand what you're feeling.
I have a son named Ji-hoon.
He's 7 years old.
Ji-hoon is inside the hospital along with you.
I am wringing my hands waiting for the cure.
Miraculously, we've managed to locate a possible carrier.
The person who could save you and my son is inside the hospital.
He's Kim Sung-ho, the carrier of the M2 virus.
Dr. Yoon, who's here with me, must extract his marrow
in order to develop the cure.
We need your cooperation.
Please help us.
Getting out and spreading the disease is not the solution.
Please give us a chance to save you and my son.
Let's just give them Kim Sung-ho.
You think they're telling the truth?
There's nothing to lose by giving him to them.
Don't believe them. They're lying to us.
We don't have to let them in.
We can just give them Kim Sung-ho.
Have you forgotten what Dr. Choi told us?
They're trying to kill all of us and the virus along with us.
This is a ruse to distract us and put the riot down.
But if it's true that Kim Sung-ho is the carrier...
We can't give him to them even if we wanted to.
What do you mean?
What are you saying?
Kim Sung-ho is dead.
Are you sure?
I saw it with my own eyes.
- It's still possible to extract his marrow. - Shut up!
We need to talk.
What's your problem?
The people out there think that only the marrow of a live person will work.
But they can make the cure out of the marrow of a dead pers...
It'll take at least a week
for them to extract the marrow and complete the cure.
You should know that full well.
So we're dead even if they do develop the cure.
So?
I want to live like a man before I die.
I don't want to lie in bed waiting to die.
Do you want to die like that?
What's wrong with having a little fun before we all croak?
Fun?
If we have to die, we should go out with a bang.
Can't you see that people are dying here?
What does that have to do with me?
Think about it.
You and I are doomed no matter what.
We have 3 days at max.
We'll be bleeding from our mouths on one day, then from our lungs,
and on the final day, we'll be lying on the bed unconscious.
This could be the last day that you can
walk around like this.
This is the only day we have.
We're going to die, so why worry about others?
The patients out there were lying on their beds listless.
But now, they're running around.
They're having fun, so who are you to rain on their parade?
You want to ruin the only day we have left in order to save others?
I'll kill anyone who tries.
So you'd better keep your mouth shut.
Don't listen to them.
Let's do our best to spread the disease.
I told you there was no reasoning with them.
- Mr. Kang. - Where have you been?
I was in Gunpo.
What are you doing here, Dr. Yoon?
Mr. Kim Sung-ho is still inside.
But Na-hyun already extracted his marrow.
- Na-hyun? - Yes.
- She took his marrow and got out. - What do you mean?
Isn't she here?
She would be if she managed to get outside.
Hello?
Where are you?
- Are you inside the quarantine hospital? - Yes.
What are you trying to do?
The patient was too weak to leave.
But he's getting better now,
and he's already agreed to the marrow extraction.
I'll get out of here as soon as I extract his marrow.
So please don't worry.
Stay put and don't move an inch.
Is Na-hyun with Mr. Kim Sung-ho right now?
Yes, she couldn't leave because the patient was too weak.
Did she get his marrow?
She's going to extract it soon.
You think she'll be able to get out all right?
Not by herself. The hospital is a battle zone.
They've blocked all the entranceways.
Is there any way for us to get in?
That'll be even harder
with those rioters watching.
Even my SWAT team couldn't get in.
It's impossible to even approach.
Besides, the rioters are all infected.
No one is willing to risk infection
in order to go inside.
I'll go inside.
But even my SWAT team couldn't get in.
If I sneak in by myself, I could succeed.
With your suit on, you won't be able to take 10 steps before they grab you.
What if I don't wear it?
Mr. Kang!
Please prepare a hospital gown for me.
Let's have a drink later.
Have you obtained the marrow?
I'm sorry about your son.
Mr. Kang is going to go in to get the marrow.
Listen to me closely.
In a minute, the light will come on in the other operating room.
But how about you?
I trust you.
We're not just patients. Remember?
I remember very clearly.
Ki-young, I wanted to let you die with dignity.
Is this what you wanted?
