SEPTEMBER 2000
[young Sang-wook] Why did you do it?
[ominous music]
Who are you?
Why did you do it?
Wow.
You've grown a lot.
Just answer me.
It was just a prank.
[Mr. Pyeon] Stay away, Sang-wook! [pained scream]
[arsonist] I didn't think that would happen.
It would have been nice if it had rained like this that day.
Right?
[chuckle]
I'm done with you.
I've served my time.
[man 1] …is sentenced to 11 months in prison
and two years of supervised probation.
[suspenseful music]
[gavel clonks]
You're not the one to decide that.
[young Sang-wook] You're not the one to decide that!
-[grunt] -[flesh pierces]
[chokes]
[man 2] hear you killed people for money.
Do you also find people?
JULY 2020
I asked him where my daughter was.
He said she was here and gave this to me.
That bastard kidnapped my daughter!
Look at her smiling because she doesn't realize anything is wrong.
She asked him to take a nice picture for me.
[moaning]
I was going to buy pesticides with this.
I can't go on anymore!
Then just die.
But how can I?
That son of a bitch is still alive and roaming free!
I have no idea where my daughter is! Why are the police stopping me? Why?
[man 2] How is that the law?
How is that the law?
[sobbing]
How is that the law?
Please, find her.
[sobbing] Please, find her.
You're… you're the only one I can turn to now.
[continues sobbing]
[crying] Please, find her. Please!
Please…
[Yun jae] What is this?
[pained groans]
[clangs]
[keys rattle]
[lock clicks open]
Son of a bitch.
[Yun-jae] That man's a murderer!
I've served my time.
-[blood splatters] -[man 2] How is that the law?
How is that the law?
[hard slam]
-[bone cracks] -[Yun-jae] You fucking murderer.
[intense choral music plays]
[hard grasp]
[woman gasping for breath]
[choking]
Do not fucking touch me.
[grunt, panting]
-[thud] -Take care of the rest on your own.

DANGER KEEP AWAY
-[Yu-ri] Nobody's gonna take it. -[gasp]
You scared me to death.
I can go and pick it up for you, so give me the keys.
No. Thanks.
[gasp]
You're really gonna be like this?
I was only looking.
[both grunting]
[sigh]
[Yu-ri] You can only look.
I'll be watching you.
Is that all you have left?
There's enough left.
[Jae-hwan] Shouldn't we kick him out?
[Hye-in] For what reason?
For catching a murderer?
He didn't catch him. He killed him.
We're all aware that it was self-defense.
That bastard Yun-jae deserved to die.
If it weren't for that thug,
-one of us would have been-- -[Jae-hwan] So what?
He's still a murderer.
He might kill again. You never know, huh?
[gasp]
It could be you or me…
Thank you so much.
Right now, this is all I have…
[soil rasps]
[deep exhale]
[keys jangle]
[soil rasps]
[man 2] I think I'll be joining Yun-a soon.
If you're still looking for her,
please, stop.
I hope you're safe.
Thank you very much.
[clanks]
[Jae-heon] Why are you burning money?
I was hired by someone for…
a job I failed to do.
[Sang-wook] Why am I here anyway?
I'm so sorry.
I saw the text message.
I THINK I'LL BE JOINING YUN-A SOON.
[Jae-heon] Not everyone agrees.
But you can stay if you want to.
I don't think what you did was right at all.
You did what you had to do.
FROM 7,800 WON
[Sang-wook] Can, um…
anyone pray?
Yes, of course.
You do it.
And why me?
Because God probably likes you more than me.

This is just great.
You seemed to be having fun.

[Hye-in] Are they siblings?
Was she adopted or something?
I say we call it a day.
Good work.

JUNE 2020
[Sang-won] Are you finished?
I checked it over thoroughly.
Because I like you.
So how is the condition?
Hmm…
It's pretty okay for such an old building.
When are you done?
Wanna have dinner together?
[laughter]
[sigh]
How I wish we could.
[sigh]
[groan]
[Yi-kyung] Do you only go to Seoul once a month?
-I think they're working you way too hard. -[sighs] I'm sorry.
[sigh]
But what can I do?
You look sexy when you work, so I'll let it slide.
CHIEF PHYSICIAN NAM SANG-WON
[both chuckle]
What's "Crucru"?
Is that your blog? If so, you're logged in.
Hey, Yi-kyung.
Well, when, when…
When is it?
Our… our wedding… wedding photo shoot?
What?
What's this? You're acting strange.
-Huh? -[Yi-kyung] What are you hiding?
Did you write you don't want to get married?
-Let me see that. -Nothing like that. [laughs]
-[grunting] -[Sang-won] Yi-kyung.
It's nothing like that. Yi-kyung.
[eerie music]
[Eun-hyeok] You do as you please, don't you?
Please leave.
What?
What are you saying?
We need your firefighting expertise.
But now, you seem rather preoccupied.
Well, thank you for telling me to leave.
[Seon-yeong] No, Yi-kyung.
You really shouldn't.
There's something I need to do.
Thanks for everything.
[deep breath]
[Eun-yu] You look better as a monster.
Is that your dream?
Why do you try so hard?
I work hard at everything I do.
When monsters do show up, we're all gonna get murdered anyway.
Trying hard, unfortunately, won't stop that.
I look forward to your turn.
Pardon? Why on earth would I do that shit?
Hmm… Because you're a psycho.
And a crazy bitch.
Aren't you?
I think you are.
[suspenseful music]
[engine revs]
[intense music]
Gosh, my precious baby.
Don't ride that thing too hard. Don't ride it too hard.
Be gentle!
[engine roars]
Why did you poke your nose in?
To pay off a debt.
What do you mean?
Why would you pay it off with my bike?
God isn't like that, you know.
He doesn't just listen to the prayers of those He likes more.
What are you trying to do to me?
Soju is too bitter to drink alone.
And I don't want it all.
[Jae-heon] I used to be an alcoholic.
I'm trying hard not to drink anymore.
[dramatic music playing]
I realized that what you see isn't everything.
People,
the world,
and God's will.
I fought by praying.
I'm sure you had your own method as well.
You're in charge of this place now.
Why me?
Try to fight in a different way.
Feel free to relax here.
Oh, last thing.
Please, save the rest of that, will you?
-[laughter] -[toy roaring]
You're cheating.
[grunt]
Stop playing with these stupid toys.
Why don't you read a book instead?
I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK
Well…
Yeong-su can't read yet.
Hey, kids your age in Gangnam can already speak Mandarin.
[gasp]
[Jin-ok] Open the book.
All right.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK
-"I'm not…" -"I'm not…"
"I'm not afraid…"
-[Jin-ok] "…of the dark." -"…of the dark"?
"…of the dark."
Go on.
-[Jin-ok] "…of the dark." -"…of the dark."

We're running out of power and it's dangerous.
We'll run it in case of emergency only.
[clacks]
[Mr. Han] What we're doing to Hyun-su,
is it the right thing to do?
He didn't harm anyone.
We aren't sure if he'll turn into a monster.
-Locking him up like that-- -It isn't right.
I know, but Hyun-su is dangerous.
[deep inhale]
He's dangerous, but we need him.

You're so immature.
When do you think Hyun-su will be back?
I don't know. He's late today.
-Do you think something happened to him? -You know he doesn't die.
[Jae-hwan] Even if he gets hurt, he gets better after a nap.

-Where is it? -What's going on?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Seung-wan] What is that?
What is that?
-Hold this. -[Seung-wan] We gotta get out.
Come on.
That's my husband.
Stay back.
[Byeong-il] Give it back. Stay still.
It's getting closer.
-No. Don't do that. Stay back. -Seon-yeong.
-[Hye-in] Seon-yeong. -Don't get near it.
Pull yourself together, Kim Seok-hyeon.
[Seung-wan] Oh, my gosh!

CRUCRU EXQA
[Sang-won] It's not a disease. It's a curse.
I was consumed by it, too.
It's been ten days since I began to have nosebleeds and fainting spells.
They talk to me and ask questions. [sniffs, coughs]
-But I'm still resisting them. -[sobs]
I have to be a subject myself and solve this phenomenon.
[tense music]
Fifteen days.
Subjects enter a stable period after 15 days.
If I hold out for five more days, I'll become a special infectee.
One thing is for sure.
Studying someone who survives the monsterization symptoms
is the only method we have.
It's the last hope to end this nightmarish disaster.
[gun clicks]

[heavy footsteps]
[Ji-eun] The power is out.
Let's wait a little, Ji-eun.
It'll be okay.
[Hye-in] How do you know?
It's obviously not okay.
What's gonna happen now?
-I hear we're about to run out of food. -The water will be cut off soon.
[Ji-eun] I'm really scared.
Su-yeong, are we gonna die?
Yeah, it's over.
-We're all totally fucked! -[whimpers]
I really hope I go to Heaven when I die.
So what?
So what? Who cares?
Do you want us all to drink the fucking Kool-Aid and just give up or something?
Stop whining, asshole!
Whining won't change anything. Trust me.
[uneasy music]
-[grunt] -[sobs]
It's okay.
People are starting to lose it.
I know.
A lot sooner than I thought.
Electricity has no direct impact on survival.
A lack of drinking water is a more serious problem.
[deep sigh]
I know you're staying calm for everyone.
Be honest with me.
Do you think we can survive?
[dark music]
[groan]
[ominous music]
What are you?
I don't know.
What?
I honestly don't even know what I am.
[monster Hyun-su] You can just start over here.
You can live however you want now.
But if I reveal my desire, I become a monster?
Yeah. So tell me what you really want.
[dark music]
[snickers]
Fuck you.
-[cracks] -[aggressive grunting]
Fine.
Good luck, then.
[glass shatters]
BASTARD
Are you up now?
I knew you were a pushover.
Being a doormat is apparently in your blood.
I was wondering, Hyun-su.
Who did that to you?
-I did. -I mean…
who made you do that to yourself?
Because of me.
It's not because of you, you moron.
Does it make you feel better to think that way?
That's why everyone blames you.
You have to throw a fucking huge fit, so that we'll get you.
[tongue clicks]
Does it hurt?
Huh…
[scoffs] You were really groaning like a pussy.
I don't know where you were hurt,
so you'll just have to stick these all by yourself.
I don't need them.
-[Hyun-su] I'll be fine-- -Make it obvious, Hyun-su.
"I got hurt because of you. It fucking hurt like hell!"
Yeah?
Why don't you get it?
[door opens, closes]
BAND-AID
Leave him alone.
If it's that important, you should go by yourself.
-Stop it. -Hey!
[Eun-yu] You're the worst one.
You act like you care, but you just stand by and do nothing.
-You're no different. -[Ji-su] What about you?
All you do is run your dumb fucking mouth.
You fucking bitch.
Hey, Eun-yu.
Stay out of it. You're not my real brother.
-[loud slap] -[groan]
You're so fucking weak.
[tense music]
[Eun-hyeok] We have to go outside.
There's no guarantee we'll continue to be safe here.
Nothing happened when we retrieved the corpses.
The situation should have calmed down by now.
So?
It's…
taking you longer and longer to recover.
We don't know when you'll turn into a monster again.
You think…
I'm gonna harm you guys if I turn back into a monster?
There are monsters that don't harm people.
[Eun-hyeok] So?
How can you be sure you'll be one of them?
[tense music]
A monster is a monster.
We don't have time.
We must find a way to survive while you can still resist.
I don't expect you to understand. Just do your job.
You know, he's using you.
[scoffs] You'll end up like this, too.

[Yi-kyung] Tell me.
Where is Sang-won?
Please.
What did you do to him?
[soldier] You're not in any position to ask questions.
Tell me now!
Just read this. He must be dead.
[soldier] Whether he killed himself or got killed.
I HAVE TO BE A SUBJECT MYSELF AND SOLVE THIS PHENOMENON.
[soldier] Even if he's not dead, I don't think you could say he's alive.
[pained scream]
Now it's my turn to ask.
What and how much do you know?
[Yi-kyung] I know for sure you'll kill me.
And what makes you think that?
You're going to have to kill me in order to shut me up.
Or you're going to kill me because I'm useless to you.
Although…
I'm going to live no matter what you do to me.
Are you sure?
[soldier] Pull yourself together.
You need someone who can resist monsterization.
I know where to find one.
