Stay back, stay back.
Stay away!
No way we're going to heaven now.
We're alive, so this is heaven.
2ND GRADE 5 CLASS
JUNG YONG-HYEON
I heard that in some countries,
they mourn adults more than they do with children.
And in others, children more than adults.
Which do you think our country is?
What do you mean?
When kids die, you lose hope but…
when adults die, you lose their wisdom.
Hope and wisdom.
Which do we value more?
Hmm?
They've been flying all over the place since yesterday.
They would have already saved us if they really wanted to.
But even if they do come to save us, we won't get out first.
We're just not important enough for that.
We're students. That's it.
We're coming in.
Set to control, steady. Prepare for landing.
Okay, roger.
Landing pad is clear. We're touching down.
RESCUE HEADQUARTERS
We have everyone on board. Heading to the quarantine camp now.
Around 11:00 a.m. this morning,
the government announced the declaration of martial law
in an effort to control the crisis in Hyosan.
Starting sometime yesterday afternoon, a strange epidemic began to spread,
which lead to an evacuation order
-and a city-wide lockdown. -And a city-wide lockdown.
It's the first time in 41 years that martial law has been declared.
Last time was the Democratization Movement
on May 18th, 1980.
I repeat. Martial law has been declared in order to control the Hyosan--
The sense of panic caused by the Hyosan epidemic
has sent markets into a death spiral.
Sidecar investments were activated for both KOSPI and KOSDAQ
which came as volatile market respondent to Covid-19…
No refugees from Hyosan! We don't want them!
We don't want them!
No refugees. Go back! Go back where you came from.
We are the Lord's people who receives salvation.
People will die as people,
and demons are going to perish as all demons must.
Amen.
Get away!
Look out!
You're killing us.
Go home!
Come on, Zuki. It's okay, okay. Thank you.
-Why won't you let us in? -Get the hell of me.
Send them back. Go home!
Please. You have to help us!
REMOVE THE GOVERNMENT!
Our Lord Jesus Christ
will not ask whether you are his son or the son of the Devil.
No. He won't.
EVERYONE WILL DIE!
A person who does not act righteously.
A person who does not love their brothers and sisters…
REMOVE THE GOVERNMENT!
…that is not one of God's people.
Amen!
We're so gonna break a million views.
A false rumor recently surfaced
claiming that Hyosan epidemic has spread to Seoul,
as a result, the number of people leaving Korea through Incheon Airport
-rose to 228,000 in a day. -Hi, everyone. I apologize
to the people, to all the viewers we scared with our zombie skit
we did on the subway.
Today, I'm on my knees begging for your forgiveness…
…for accidentally misleading everyone about the crisis in Hyosan…
Is this what you expected? Really? Really?
SUBWAY ZOMBIE PERFORMANCE APOLOGY VIDEO
We have to expand martial law to control the media.
There are rumors that radiation from US nuclear bombs created the zombies.
That the heads of Korea's top 30 corporations fled the country.
Most of the media are spreading fake news
and sharing it online without verifying sources.
It's contributing to all the chaos.
The government should not control the media.
The people themselves should control the media.
And our citizens have enough power to do that.
No expansion in martial law.
Let's focus on containment
and rescuing the uninfected.
Those are our priorities.
-Su-hyeok. -Hey, Bare-su.
Are you okay?
Where's the phone?
And Cheong-san?
Su-hyeok.
Where is he?
We got separated in the teacher's office.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
Are you serious? Oh, shit!
I'm sorry…
for coming back alone.
Come here.
Were you bit? You were bit, right?
No, I--
Cut it out.
Give me the fucking phone.
You killed the principal. You're a murderer.
You made me kill him. You shit.
-You wanted proof I wasn't a coward. -You're insane.
Get off me.
Should I save you?
What do you say?
Beg for your life. Come on.
Screw you.
Damn it.
Shit! Help me!
Cheong-san!
Fuck!
Oh, please!
I'll kill you.
I will kill you.
Fuck you.
I'll…
I'll kill you.
Whoa!
Shit.
None of them are normal. All infected.
Hey! He's coming!
Oh, Shit. Shoot, shoot!
Oh, shit.
We're gonna die before we ever find your brother.
Let's go, okay?
Oh, shit.
Oh, seriously--
Shit.
I told you we should just stay put, didn't I?
How are we gonna find your brother in the middle of all this?
And it was just as crazy to have come with her.
-I told you-- -Hey. Hey!
-What? -There's a computer.
Oh, yeah. Turn it on.
Post on Instagram or Facebook for help.
Oh, shit.
ADMIN
Martial Law Command has acted swiftly and thoroughly.
We sealed off the entire Hyosan area
to prevent the situation from spreading to other regions.
If you live outside the area under martial law,
please stay calm and return to your normal lives.
Currently, Martial Law Command is doing its absolute best
to quarantine those infected and to rescue and protect
those who are not.
EMERGENCY CALL
We continue to operate, as always, in strict compliance with the law
and Federal regulations.
EMERGENCY CALL CONNECTING
Fake news about the Hyosan epidemic is spreading fast.
Almost like a separate contagion.
Martial Law Command will censor
all unconfirmed rumors, simultaneously,
in the interest of operational efficiency,
all cell phone services…
…landlines, internet services,
-and all communication originating… -Why it isn't working?
-…in Hyosan will be terminated… -Huh?
What's wrong?
…from this point on.
That's so weird. The internet cable's plugged in.
-I'm trying to refresh it. -Hey, get the phone over there.
Okay.
Shit. Fucking assholes.
They cut off the phones and internet.
We at Martial Law Command,
and its advisory council, are doing our best
to suppress the continuous spread.
Moreover, we are focusing all of our resources
to rescue the people who are currently trapped.
If you live in Hyosan, and you're watching this now,
please try to stay hopeful and wait in your location to be rescued.
NO SIGNAL
OCTOBER 21, THURSDAY
WATER FLOW DETECTOR
What do we do? On-jo and Cheong-san are really close.
They're going out.
But On-jo told me they're not.
I'm telling you they are.
They're always together.
Really?
NAM ON-JO
Poor On-jo.
I'm sure Cheong-san is fine.
You know how fast he is.
I don't know why he never listens.
Ever since we were kids, he's just never listened to me.
I told him not to go, but, of course, he did.
I'm sorry.
I should've brought him back here.
Where do you think…
he is now?
I'm pretty sure he's in a safe hiding spot.
Joon-yeong. Didn't you mention that your science club made a drone?
Yeah. You want to look for Cheong-san with it?
-Could we? -Well, yeah. But it's in the science lab.
We can go get it.
How would we get it? It's crawling with zombies out there.
That.
You want me to climb up on that?
But there are zombies in the science lab too.
There weren't any in the supply room. Right?
That's true, but…
We have to find Cheong-san.
There's no one else besides us to start looking
and rescue people.
Yeah.
It would be good if we had the drone.
We can find Cheong-san and then we can see how things are outside.
We might even be able to send an emergency message and ask for help.
Sure, that would be really great.
But who's gonna go?
I wanna go.
I took a fire rescue class, and I've climbed ropes before.
No, I'll go.
You already went out there.
You can't keep putting yourself in danger.
The drone isn't finished yet,
we need to find a few more parts to run it.
Do you know what to get?
Then I have to go anyway, I guess.
I'll go with On-jo.
No way.
I'm actually going this time so stand back.
But you can't.
He can't.
The rope won't hold you.
It was fine when I came down. But it'll snap if I climb up, right?
-Yeah. Right. -Yeah. It'll snap.
Right. Good boy.
Joon-yeong, come with me.
Mm.
It's too dangerous.
I'll go.
Thank you.
But I don't want you…
to be put in danger anymore.
I'm going.
Be careful, On-jo.
Be safe. We'll be watching, okay?
Do you think…
it's really safe out there?
I'm sure it is.
Like you said, there are soldiers and cops, right?
I wanna go to my dad's factory and my mom's sundae place.
Whatever.
You hate the smell of leather and sundae anyway.
Yeah, I do.
I just want my mom's sundae soup.
So you finally grew up? You should have said that earlier.
Now, it's too late.
Hey. Hey, look.
I bet there's a key in there, right?
I don't think so.
Shouldn't we just hide somewhere safe and wait to be rescued?
Hey.
He said the solution is on his laptop at the school.
We have to hurry and notify Fire and Disasters HQ.
The people who have important information need to survive, am I right?
So doesn't our survival come first?
Why do you keep acting better than everyone
like some elite leader of society? You're from Seoul University?
-Yeah. -Huh? Wait?
You really went there? Serious?
Well, I haven't graduated yet. I'm going back.
Oh, grad school?
-No. I'm a sophomore. -What?
Your exams? You retake?
Uh, few times. Yeah.
I went after high school.
Oh, wow. I guess you must really had your nose to the crime stuff, huh?
Your face says it all.
Hey. Apparently, you're smart, so I'm gonna say this once.
Be quiet and follow me.
Wait.
Shit!
Whoa!
Shut the door. Shut the door!
Why won't it start?
Hurry up!
Please spare me!
Come on. This way.
Wait.
Let's go! Here.
Hurry!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW BUSINESS
Oh, my God.
It's a zombie, sir.
There's a zombie in here.
-In there? -Yeah.
Shit!
CHEONGSAN CHICKEN
It's all right. Come on.
Sure?
She's tied up. it's okay.
A student should be in school. Why is she in a chicken place?
And why she tied…
Oh, my gosh!
What? What? What?
Right there. There.
What? What is that?
Oh, shit.
Is… is it okay?
Is, is the baby a zombie?
No. It's alive.
Why don't you go check the fridge for some milk or something?
Why? Are you thirsty?
It's for the baby.
We need to feed this baby somehow. It's very dehydrated.
What if there's no milk?
Can you just check first?
Check the fridge, and if there's no milk, come back,
and we cross that bridge when we come to it, okay?
Uh, yeah. You're right. Yeah.
-If there's no milk, maybe I should bring? -Just check first. Can you do that?
Check. Damn it.
What do we do now?
What else can we do? Back to HQ.
What about that?
It's hard enough with just us.
Are you gonna bring it along?
Oh, careful.
The drone and the bag are right there.
Okay. Where was it?
Where is the battery?
I can't stop thinking about this one thing.
What?
If eventually everyone in the world but us ends up turning in too?
No way.
But if that were true?
Nah.
Then we'd be the minority.
And all minorities have a way of going extinct.
We're not the minority.
But what if that actually happens?
You think you could make it through this?
I don't know.
But I don't wanna be a zombie.
You don't recognize anyone.
And…
I won't even recognize you.
In case I do get bitten, I have a favor to ask.
No.
Don't get bit.
-If by chance-- -No.
Don't get bit. You can't.
Don't even think about dying.
THIS DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE
Shit.
-Eat up, I-sak. -Thanks.
On-jo. Which do you like better?
-Mm, they're both good. -Is that right?
Is it better like this?
Or like this?
Why?
Fuck this.
MUSIC ROOM
INSTRUMENT STORAGE
Hey, be careful.
Take your time. Take your time.
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
HELP, WE'RE IN THE BROADCASTING ROOM IN HYOSAN HIGH SCHOOL
Does it work?
Is it working?
I think it will.
Ooh.
Holy crap.
That thing's crazy fast.
I'll take it outside after I find Cheong-san.
If I find any rescuers out there, I'll land in front of them.
Okay. Okay, okay.
Wait a second.
They say when people know their situation is hopeless,
that's when they despair.
Sweet saying.
But what does that mean?
Even if everyone in the world but us turned into zombies,
we can't fall in to despair.
Ahh. So that's what that means?
Nam-ra.
It's best to make a plan and try to stick to it,
but we're not all top students, and we can't be as smart as you.
Being logical isn't part of human nature.
In a crisis, it's better to be logical.
We need hope more than logic.
Don't you think that's best right now?
Hey. I think…
flying the drone is what we need right now.
-Okay. Try it. -Here goes.
Mm.
Oh, no.
Everyone's zombie.
I shouldn't even bother studying.
Shit.
I can't take my CSAT anyway.
Shit. I'll never studying again as long as I live.
Can you please be serious for once in your life?
I'm dead serious right now.
What are you gonna do? Keep looking for your brother?
The archery center has an emergency phone.
It automatically connects to emergency services.
-Really? -Yeah.
We got a hotline installed a while ago because of some injuries.
And if it doesn't connect? All the phones and internet are dead.
It doesn't matter.
That's where all the arrows are anyway.
I have less than 20 left.
We'll need more if we wanna leave the school alive.
-I think, uh-- -Okay, let's go.
Go to the archery center so we can get your arrows.
Then we should probably go home or maybe go to a supermarket.
You know. In most zombie movies,
the ones that go to supermarkets always manage to survive in the end.
And they have cigs.
I think that we--
The dumpsters are right under these windows.
I think it's better to jump than use the stairs.
Yeah. Let's jump.
Falling from the third floor is way better than falling your exams, right?
Hey, let me get a word in!
Hey, Min-jae.
Go down first and shoot any that come running.
Okay.
Then you two go down and help him out as much as you can.
I'll cover you out in the hallway and bring up the rear.
Mm.
What do you wanna say?
Uh, I think we should just stay here.
The adults will rescue us.
If you wanna stay, be my guest.
But I don't trust adults.
Ahh, shit. She's just so my type.
I'm too scared to stay here alone.
Hurry up.
Look out! Behind you!
Move.
Oh, shit. Why are we so high up?
-Jump already. -All right, I'm going.
Shit.
No one in the infirmary.
Joon-yeong, go somewhere else.
Wait. Hold on. Stop right there.
Is that an arrow?
-Where? -This.
You're right. It is.
Why? What?
My older sister.
She had a competition today.
Where the hell did Cheong-san go?
It's Cheong-san!
-What room is that? -Cheong-san!
He… He can't hear you.
Be quiet.
-Hey, Cheong-san! -He can't hear you.
On-jo, it's okay.
Cheong-san is alive!
Ah…
What's he doing? Where's he going?
Look this way! Over here!
Where are you going, you stupid moron?
He can't hear you, Dae-su!
Be quiet, will you? You're so damn loud.
My bad. My bad.
Didn't you say the battery was low?
Yeah. I couldn't charge it, so it's almost dead.
Now that we know for sure where Cheong-san is,
let's go look somewhere else.
You wanted to check outside and ask for help?
On-jo, is that okay?
Mm-hmm. Now that we know he's alive.
Okay. Here it goes.
Whoa.
It's totally Zombieland out there.
I think we should look outside of the school grounds.
Let's take it outside.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
What is it?
Wait a sec.
Just… wait.
What?
Wha, what's wrong, Ji-min?
Wait a minute.
I-I can't…
What? What is it?
This…
That's my dad's car.
Which one?
The white one? The black one?
It's this truck.
It's my dad's car.
Don't worry.
I'm sure there are lots of cars like that.
Hang on. I'll check.
Ji-min.
11:47 AM ABANDONED PRISON IN THE SUBURB OF HYOSAN
Attention, citizens of Hyosan.
Please proceed calmly…
-Where are we going? Where are we going? -…to the first quarantine.
-Do you see us-- -Don't you!
-Hey! -We're not animals!
-We've been waiting here for hours! -Please cooperate
with the tests to determine whether or not you are infected…
…will be returned to you at the later stage.
I repeat.
Please proceed calmly to the first quarantine checkpoint…
and surrender your personal belongings.
This is for your safety, and the safety of those around you.
We appreciate your continuous cooperation.
EXAMINATION ROOM
Thank you for your service. Where's the control room?
As per Martial Law,
you have to quarantine until you are examined.
Why in the world would she have to quarantine now?
She just came back from a battlefield--
-It's okay. That's enough. -Unbelievable.
So, where is the control room?
You have to be examined first.
I'm not refusing to be examined.
Please follow the protocols.
Hyosan Fire Station. Rescue Team One, Captain Nam So-ju.
I was responsible for them from mobilization until rescue.
Enough!
Does it sound like I'm asking your opinion?
-Take them to the exam room. -Yes, sir.
What is this place?
This isn't an examination room.
There are lots of people in line for exams,
you have to wait your turn.
Then you should've explained the situation and asked her to wait somewhere else
and then escorted her.
What the hell is wrong with you?
There are plenty of other people outside
who are sitting on mats on a concrete floor.
We're trying to make you as comfortable as possible
because you're an assemblywoman.
The wait time for an examination is 12 to 72 hours.
Wait a minute.
My daughter is at her school right now.
It may be too late if we keep waiting.
Please request a rescue.
We're doing the best we can.
Wait here for now.
Oh, shit.
Did I die?
Am I dead?
Hey.
Aren't, aren't you gonna eat me, you zombie bastards?
I gave them serotonin injections for a week,
but it had no effect whatsoever.
The moment an antivirus enters the body,
the virus mutates and stops attacking its target.
The only explanation is that the cells learn and evolve.
If this virus…
manages to learn human consciousness…
…a new species of humankind could be born.
Cheong-san, you son of a bitch!
I'll kill you.
What the fuck?
That means…
ONE HEART
…I'm God.
Hey, Cheong-san!
