Final Episode
Mr. Kim Sung-ho is still inside.
Planning JTBC
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.
- I'll go inside. - Mr. Kang!
Please prepare a hospital gown for me.
Script Park Hye-ryun
Director Ahn Pan-seok
Dr. Yoon.
Dr. Yoon?
I'll go with you. There's strength in numbers.
You'd be of help if extracting the marrow were our final goal.
But then, the cure has to be developed.
If I had the power to decide
who would die last from the disease,
I would choose you.
You have people to save.
I've spent my entire life in a lab so there's lots I don't know how to do.
I don't know how to say I'm sorry or that I'm thankful.
I'll teach you.
"Let's have a drink later."
That's how you do it.
- Take care of yourself. - Thanks.
From what we can tell,
the mountain next to the road is the best way in.
Mountain?
It's located at the back of the hospital.
So if you go through the rear parking garage...
But the rioters could also be there.
A helicopter will take to the air around the time you arrive.
They'll pay attention to the copter
thinking we're trying to force our way in.
You can enter the building then.
The operating room is on the 5th floor.
Don't go there directly.
Go down to the basement,
and take the service elevator located in the corner.
That leads right to the door of the 5th floor operating room.
Here.
Where's Dr. Yoon?
- Have you obtained the marrow? - We haven't been able to go in.
Why don't they force themselves inside?
Won't the director allow it?
- But if there are casualties... - I thought all the staff made it out?
Ji-hoon can't hold on very much longer.
Mr. Kang is going to go in to get the marrow.
What about Ji-hoon?
I'm sorry about your son.
But you're the one who said that isolation should be the first priority.
You said that we shouldn't
extend the patients' lives when we can't even develop a cure.
You said that we should quarantine the patients and let them die off.
Are you all right?
It's too dangerous to turn the light on.
Aren't you going to extract my marrow?
Your blood pressure isn't stable enough yet.
- Have a lot of people died? - Yes.
- Then extract my marrow. - Hold on.
Mr. Kang!
- Are you all right? - What are you doing here?
You can't keep putting yourself in danger for me.
- Did you get the marrow? - I was just about to.
- Hurry up. I'll keep watch. - OK.
- Are you done? - Almost.
Listen to me and try to stay calm. The rioters are coming.
I'm done. Let's go.
Listen to me closely.
In a minute, the light will come on in the other operating room.
When the rioters rush over there,
run away with all your might and don't look back.
But how about you?
- You go on ahead. - No.
I don't care! Just do it!
There's an elevator to the right as soon as you get out of here.
Take it down to the basement floor.
There's only one way out of there.
And that leads to the mountain.
So run up the mountain.
Can you do that?
Na-hyun!
I trust you.
My, my, what have we here?
What a nice surprise.
You here for your shot?
You think you can get away just because we're weak?
We're not just patients.
We're walking time bombs. Remember?
I remember very clearly.
- So? - I knew I'd become one of you
the moment I put this on
- and entered this building. - Stop playing us for fools!
Then what are you holding in your hand?
Ki-young, I wanted to let you die with dignity.
- What? - If you weren't infected,
you'd never have stabbed anybody.
You'd spend the money you earned on the ship to finish school, get a job,
get married and live happily.
- I can't let you die like an animal. - Animal? How dare you!
Is this what you wanted?
Go, now!
Dae-ik!
Go!
- Isn't this? - It's Uh Ki-young.
Poor fellow.
Lots of people lived thanks to him.
Lots of people died as well.
- Here. - OK.
Ms. Park's at the quarantine hospital?
Yes, I thought it'd be better if she stayed there.
Her child isn't doing so well.
She must be devastated.
Popular opinion has been quite positive about the fact that we didn't force ourselves in.
It would have been a catastrophe if we had.
I made sure we didn't.
When I first received word on the riot,
they told me most of the rioters had been infected for days,
so I knew they wouldn't last long.
- The riot died down so suddenly. - That's right.
After the main rioters died, they didn't even put up a fight.
Yes, that's what I heard.
Anyway, how's work on the cure coming along?
It shouldn't take too long since they've done it before.
It won't take long to copy the artificial antibodies,
but it takes time to perform the basic DNA analysis.
The families of the sick must be counting the days.
They know that a cure is on the way if the patients hang in there.
Mr. Kim Dae-ik passed away at 10:17.
Hold on.
Thank you.
Mr. Kim was so nice to me.
But I couldn't help but be relieved that it wasn't you.
He even helped me while he was suffering from mental disturbance.
But I still couldn't help but feel relieved.
If everybody started revealing their innermost thoughts like you,
the world would be full of monsters.
People ask, "How can a human being act that way?"
many times a day.
I think the disease takes away those inhibitions we harbor.
They'll have the cure soon, so don't think dark thoughts.
- If I ever... - If you do,
I'm going to feed you a knuckle sandwich.
I'm scared that...
I'll become...
an unrecognizable monster...
- Mr. Kang! - If I do, don't be hurt and...
forgive...
Actually, run away from me
and don't look back.
I won't be hurt
no matter what you say or do.
You're just a colleague, after all.
Yes, sir. We'll start mass producing it today
and in the first stage, we'll make 30,000 doses a day.
But right now, we only have 300 doses.
I'll distribute it fairly so there isn't any controversy.
Congratulations ma'am, you've done it again.
Thank you.
We won't have enough for a while, will we?
That's how it looks.
They say that an estimated 330,000 have been infected.
They say it'll start receding after 500,000 infections.
We'll have an extreme shortage of medicine until then.
That's why I've called the meeting.
They've asked me to set standards for the distribution of medicine by tomorrow.
They asked that the standard be as strict and fair as possible.
The list of the 300 people is out.
Ji-hoon's been left out.
What?
But aren't children supposed to receive priority?
There's a 9-year-old here. Ji-hoon is only 7!
Something must be wrong.
There's another 9-year-old and a 10-year-old!
There's no reason that Ji-hoon should be left out.
They've decided to treat the people who are most likely to recover.
What?
Are you saying there's little chance that Ji-hoon will recover?
Who told you those lies?
Who left Ji-hoon off of this list? Was it you?
You?
Who was it?
We were just following the manual.
Begin the treatments.
This isn't fair, Gyu-jin.
I know the manual says otherwise,
but can't you give me just one dose?
My wife...
hasn't eaten or slept as she waited for the cure.
He isn't just any child.
He's Park Joo-hee's child.
He's the son of the woman who would stick her neck out if it meant helping you!
Even so, you could lose your life, Mr. Kang.
I've always been healthy, ever since I was a child.
But this is an entirely different matter.
Doctor... I've already lost one team member.
- Yes, I've heard. - I can't lose another.
You've done everything you could for him.
All I need to do is keep alive for another couple of days.
But Mr. Park Do-gyeong almost died last night.
He has a frail constitution and frequently gets colds.
So...
Huh? A medicine packet is missing.
What's going on?
It's over.
Ji-hoon...
Here's the medicine, honey.
Ji-hoon, it's daddy.
Open your eyes, honey.
Ji-hoon! Open your eyes!
- Stop it. - But I've brought the medicine!
Ji-hoon! Ji-hoon! Move!
Ji-hoon, open your eyes! Ji-hoon! Ji-hoon!
What's going on?
- Please take him away. - Ji-hoon!
What did I tell you? Aren't you glad we came out?
Are you cold? We better go inside.
No, I'm all right.
Let's stay here 5 more minutes.
Didn't you say you had something to show me?
Oh, that?
I'm a little embarrassed.
Ta-da!
Is that you?
- This I can't show you. - Let me see it.
- No, I look ugly. - Let me see.
- No. - Come on.
Mr. Kang!
You look pretty.
Mr. Kang, show me your pictures after you recover.
You have to promise.
Go away.
- Mr. Kang? - Go!
Get lost!
Mr. Kim...
- Yeah? - What are you doing here?
I'll call you a cab.
Gyu-jin!
If only I hadn't stolen your paper, Dr. Choi wouldn't have died.
If I hadn't stolen it...
Ji-hoon would have...
Hee-sang...
Is the list of people to receive the cure out?
Not yet.
- It's rather late today. - Yes.
- Please call me when it comes out. - OK.
Make sure to check the number of syringes.
We had another incident yesterday.
Why won't you look at me?
You like looking at your lap better?
Mr. Kang?
- Na-hyun. - Yes?
Don't trust me anymore.
You can't choose whom to trust and whom not to trust.
It just happens.
Trust builds up like the bricks of a building
and becomes walls, towers and castles.
You can't all of a sudden decide not to trust someone.
Don't visit me anymore.
- I'll do it. - Go away!
I guess, now you won't visit even if I asked you to.
You're wrong.
Stab me.
Look into my eyes and stab me.
Then, I won't return ever again.
Mr. Kang Ju-hun.
Come to the injection room. We have your medicine for you.
I think the distribution of medicine is going rather well.
How about the vaccine? Is it coming along all right?
They just need to manufacture it now.
How about Dr. Yoon's patent?
I haven't heard anything about that.
I'll have to give him a call.
He has to claim the rights quickly.
I have a friend who's a genius at patent law.
I ought to give Dr. Yoon his number.
Dr. Yoon won't have to worry about research funds ever again.
I know. I'm so jealous of him.
Frankly, the only thing that scientists like us could ever want
is unlimited research funds.
Sorry I'm late. The traffic was horrible.
But I was so glad to see the roads congested again.
You were glad? What do you mean?
It means that the nightmare is finally over.
I was so relieved to see the owner of the eatery where I'm a regular at.
- Mr. Lee, what was your idea? - You mean the memorial?
Everybody who lost family is devastated.
The newspapers are saying that we're suffering from a nationwide depression.
I thought we should console the grieving.
So we'll build a memorial and conduct rituals there.
People can go there and cry whenever they miss their loved-ones.
I think it's a great idea so we should carry it out.
What do you think, Ms. Park?
Where should we erect the memorial?
Somewhere away from the city out in the suburbs
where families can go on outings
with a nice view of a lake and trees.
If word of this gets out, the prices near the land will skyrocket.
The number of potential visitors is quite large.
Business will boom in that area,
including lodging and restaurants.
- That's right. - That's how the world works.
One person's tragedy is another's goldmine.
I don't think I'll have any trouble procuring funding for the project.
It truly feels like springtime here on campus.
Trees are amazing.
During the winter, they just look like dry pieces of log.
But they'll grow leaves and flowers come spring.
It's repayment for them bearing the wintertime.
I want to bear this pain
and keep it inside me
until the day I die.
Don't say that.
Things will get better.
I'm not afraid of the pain.
What scares me is that I might
go on with my life as if nothing ever happened.
- Take a cab. - No, I want to walk.
- You should get back. - After I see you off.
- Why did you do it? - What?
I heard you gave up your patent on the vaccine.
- Yeah. - But why?
I never thought about it so I don't know what to say.
Dr. Salk...
He developed the polio vaccine and said, "Could you patent the sun?"
Yes. Do you know what else he said?
Not really.
He said that the patent belonged to the people.
At least Dr. Salk left that quote.
But no one knows that you gave up your patent.
Aren't I great?
Thank you.
- Welcome. - Thank you.
I heard you changed specialties after finishing your residency.
Yes.
After you endured all that hardship? Why?
Because life isn't about enduring hardship.
It's about finding happiness.
Well, working here is no walk in the park.
It couldn't be as difficult as a residency.
You think?
By the way, a word of warning.
Nothing gets by our team leader, Mr. Kang.
Just one glance and he knows what you had for breakfast and how you came to work.
- You can't be serious. - You'll see.
Hello, Mr. Kang.
Our new team member is here.
Hello, sir. My name is Lee Min-ho.
- I'm Kang Ju-hun - It's nice to meet you, sir.
Your mother drives you to work, right?
Get ready to do some fieldwork.
- Where? - Ilsan.
We'll meet up in the parking lot after I report it to the director.
- OK. - OK.
Let's check each other.
A virus could enter a tiny needle hole and kill you.
So make sure to use caution at all times.
I don't care how hot you are,
don't ever take off your helmet or gloves.
Letting your guard down with a virus is like suicide.
The moment you're infected, you're no longer a human being.
You are a virus host that must be stopped.
So, you're responsible for your own lives.
Are you ready?
Number 1, food waste.
Number 2, ventilation duct.
Number 6, bathroom mirror.
