GYEONGSEONG CREATURE
Hey.
Why do you keep fighting?
You know you can't win.
I'm not fighting to win.
I'm fighting so they don't forget.
So they don't forget what they did to us.
To let them know that those who remember what they did are still alive.
To make them feel sorry.
If they don't feel sorry,
to make them feel guilty, at least.
If they don't even feel guilty,
then to get in their way, to be a nuisance.
To keep them on edge.
That way, they won't forget either.
Can't you forgive them?
Not when they don't even feel the need to apologize.
They refuse to admit the fact that those things even happened.
Isn't it absurd for me to forgive them?
Still,
it's all in the past.
People didn't have a choice then.
Sure.
The times were such.
Some had to do what they did to survive. We're all human after all.
But
it's also a human thing to right the wrongs that we've done.
If you don't bother to make an effort…
the world will be much more terrible.
How much do you trust me?
There's no "how much" in trust.
I just trust you.
I wish
I'd never met you in the first place.
If I hadn't,
I would've been perfectly fine with becoming a monster.
What are you playing at?
I told you.
I don't want to die.
Thanks to Ho-jae, I once had a dream for a moment.
I dreamed that I could be like Ho-jae.
Be human and act human.
But…
I couldn't.
I was simply a monster.
I don't care what happens to anything but me.
I feel no guilt
or pangs of conscience.
I kill when someone poses a threat. I hunt when I'm bored.
I feed when I'm hungry.
And also…
I get a good kick out of it.
I heard Akiko was your mother.
But do you know…
how she came to her death?
I do.
What about it?
So what? It's all in the past.
Lady Maeda is the one who raised and protected me.
Don't you think she's been using you?
A good son always answers "yes."
You don't get it.
I'm the one who used her
so I could survive.
So…
just die.
Yoon Chae-ok. Bring that woman to me.
For Ho-jae's sake…
Mr. Jang has to be the one to lead her to her death.
…you must die now.
Freeze! Move and I'll shoot!
Master Jang will be very disappointed to know…
that you've decided to become a monster.
Wait, that person…
Who are those people?
You have to run, or else you're going to die.
What do you think you're doing?
-Hey! -Run as far away as you can. Now.
Who was it?
Who sent you?!
There is no way for you to win here.
Wanna bet?
On whether I can win or not.
In the end, Lady Maeda will kill everyone around you.
Because what she ultimately wants is for you to be left alone.
If you want to know where I stand, I don't care who wins.
I just want this fight to be over quickly.
And for that to happen,
this will come in handy.
GYEONGSEONG CREATURE BETWEEN BENEVOLENCE AND EXPLOITATION
EPISODE 7 MARGINAL MAN
Ma'am, have mercy on him!
Please have mercy on Ho-jae, just this once!
Please!
I'll keep a good eye on him.
I'll make sure he never shows up in front of you again, Lady Maeda.
I'll keep him in check however I can, so…
please spare him this once.
Can you
bet your life on that promise?
If you do let Ho-jae live…
then yes.
I'll bet my life.
Ho-jae.
Let's go home.
Come on, Ho-jae.
Let's go home now, okay?
Let's go.
Okay. I'll head over now.
-No, stay here. I can go on my own. -What? Where are you going?
Kwon Yong-gil is awake and asking for me. I'll be back.
DETECTIVE NOH JI-SU
Hey, how's it going so far?
Captain.
Captain!
What is it?
Lady Maeda seems to have caught on to our plan.
Welcome.
I've been waiting for you.
No wonder it was so quiet on the way here.
It was the least I could do for an old friend.
Are we still friends?
So much time has passed, and so many things have changed,
yet we still stand face to face like this.
So maybe we are.
Maybe that is why…
it felt lonelier than I thought
to be erased from your memories.
If you knew how I remembered you,
it would've been better to leave my memories erased.
It is always better
to live with the painful memories we have
than to have nothing.
You are no longer pain to me.
You are repulsive.
Do you still think
that all human lives are equal?
Do you still think they're not?
What about Yoon Chae-ok's life?
Do you still feel the same way about her life?
I was always curious
just how equal human lives were to you.
Take your friend in the hospital, for example.
-You'll be moving to the general ward. -What?
Or
that police friend of yours.
And the child you're looking for, No. 71.
What if you had to decide between those three lives
and Yoon Chae-ok's life?
Which side would you choose?
No.
You didn't.
Yoon Chae-ok is not down there.
She will shortly have her Najin removed in the water tank chamber.
There are two possible outcomes.
Will she lose her memories like you did a year ago and become a different person?
Or will she fail to escape the water tank
and drown in it?
Now,
which side will you save first?
Yoon Chae-ok?
Throw her in.
Or…
your friends?
Make a choice, Mr. Jang.
You do not have much time.
Why do you have to take it this far?
I merely want to see for myself
whether you speak the truth and whether your word would apply here.
What do you think?
Do you still believe all human lives are the same?
Are they still equal?
Mr. Jang!
Captain!
No. Don't come down.
No! Don't come down!
No!
Hey, are you out of your mind?
Why did you come down here? What were you thinking?
I've fought them before.
Give up.
You're not getting out of here.
Where's Master Jang?
Just tell me that.
Is he still alive?
He is alive, but you won't be seeing him again.
Jang Tae-sang has chosen to save other people over you.
And for that,
he will be torn to pieces and killed.
And you'll die in this water tank.
If you wanted to win, you should've been simpler about it.
You two are too emotional, and you act on too many frivolous reasons.
Just as we each have our own reasons for choosing to live…
we also have our own reasons for choosing death.
Aren't you afraid of death?
What we must really fear is not death…
but being left all alone and unable to die.
Such a pity, those eyes.
I really like them.
What the heck? What is that?
What is that?
Stop talking for God's sake!
Ho-jae!
Hey, Ho-jae!
Ho-jae, are you okay?
What? Hold on.
Wait! Go away!
Start running!
Cut them off.
Damn it!
My legs!
-Shit. -Cut it.
Jong-hyeok's over there. We have to take him.
We have to hurry.
Thank you.
It's done.
Ho-jae!
There's an elevator back there. Go now!
Damn it!
I said go!
Come on! Hurry!
-What should I set the temperature to? -All the way down to 18 degrees.
That's enough.
I know you're in pain too.
Nitrogen gas has been detected.
Please evacuate.
Nitrogen gas has been detected.
It's here!
Nitrogen gas has been detected.
Ho-jae, come on!
What the hell is he doing?
Wait! Ho-jae!
Are you all right?
Ho-jae!
Are you okay?
No time to talk right now.
You'll find a long hallway on the floor above.
Go straight down to the end.
Exit through the iron doors on the right, and a passage will lead you outside.
Wait a second. Hey, what about you?
Yoon Chae-ok is still in here.
No, don't. Don't do this, man!
Call backup as soon as you get out.
I will.
Hold on, man.
Come with us, okay? Let's get out together.
You have to save yourself at least!
Go ahead without me.
I'll bring her out.
How is it progressing?
The water temperature just dropped to 20 degrees.
It'll drop to 18 within three minutes.
Then she will go into cardiac arrest.
Master Jang.
I wish to be with you.
There is something
I really want to tell you.
There were so many things…
I wanted to do with you.
What is that?
Wasn't her Najin asleep?
Why did you do it?
Did you really…
intend to kill me?
I should have killed you
a year ago
when you chose Mr. Jang over me.
Was there ever a moment…
in which you regarded me as your son?
There are things that make humans weak.
Mother, child, companion, lover, homeland, to name a few.
Once they imprison themselves
by obsessing over such trivial relationships,
humans become endlessly useless
and pitiful beings.
They get taken advantage of and become expendable, easily discarded.
I did not raise you like that, Seung-jo.
I whipped and trained you
so that you would not be tied down to anything,
so that you could become perfect on your own.
But you continued to long for a mother
and depended on Jang Tae-sang.
How disappointing.
Forgive me.
Disappointment means
that you had some expectations for me.
Okay.
I'll do better.
I won't long for anyone…
or expect anything ever again.
So…
accept me for who I am.
I won't be tied down to you.
I'll become perfect on my own.
How beautiful.
Her heart has stopped.
I'll be taking that Najin.
Do you think
the good times will come to us?
They surely will.
I will make sure that they do.
What is it?
What's going to happen to me now?
Well,
you'll need to take responsibility for the three people who have died.
But
I'll help you get qualified for all the mitigating factors.
Try not to worry.
Move!
What happened here?
-Are you all right? -I'm fine.
-Are you badly injured? Can you move? -Move!
-I think I broke my leg. -Oh no!
We have to start an urgent search of Jeonseung Biotech now.
Let's get a warrant first.
-Yes, sir. -Shit!
Are you okay, sir?
Is it just the two of you?
What did you say?
Is it just the two of you?
Yeah.
Just us two.
I see.
The screen doors are opening.

Yummy.
Come on out and eat. You're going to be late.
Okay!
Coming.
Coming home late from school again?
My club is holding a fundraiser.
We'll be having drinks after that, so I'll probably be very late.
It's so good.
-Good, huh? -Yeah.
Hey, do you have a boyfriend yet?
A boyfriend?
I mean…
I'll get one when I get one.
Here, have some meat too.
So good.
Your makeup looks lovely.
I'm going to bag myself a guy at the fundraiser.
Your clothes are so pretty too.
Sometimes I have this dream.
A dream where I chase after someone every night.
I don't know who it is,
and I can't remember much of it…
but my heart aches and feels as if it were torn before I wake up.
Spring will soon pass,
and it will be summer again.
And we will live on again.
IN REMEMBRANCE OF OUR COLLEAGUES KIM HYEON-JUNG AND OH HYO-JEONG
Keep it going.
