I was scared…
Of this baby that I…
Brought into this world prematurely…
Of myself, for having to make this decision…
I was scared of it all.
I couldn't bring myself to kill you.
And so I abandoned you.
I thought I would be able to move on…
Hyun-su!
But then I started to wonder.
Why you were born like this.
Was I to blame, for not bearing you long enough?
Or were you corrupted
By my foul desires?
What is my child?
Is she a gift, or a curse?
I just couldn't tell.
I thought…
You might have the answer.
I should have come to you sooner.
No.
I'm glad you came.
Say hello. She's your mom.
Hey.
Seeing the ordinary child that you were,
I was relieved.
Every day I spent with you hiding my disquiet,
And every ordinary day that had me on thin ice.
I thought it wouldn't be so bad to live like this after all.
I thought I had lost you.
But you suddenly stopped writing in pain
And stood before me as a completely different being.
That's when I realized.
No matter how much I tried to deny it,
My child was a monster.
What's going on?
Did you have to take it so far?
It's because I'm her mother.
No matter how much she grows up, or what she becomes,
I have to be able to recognize my child.
I won't ever lose her.
I don't know if I'm protecting you from this world,
Or if I'm protecting the world from you yet.
Don't take those off, no matter what.
I'm just…
Doing what I can to stay by your side.
Okay?
Mom…
The people…
They're all bad.
Did you say Mom?
You're no different.
Cha Hyun-su.
Cha Hyun-su!
Are you seriously just going to walk off like that?
Were you expecting hearty greetings instead?
Yes.
The least you could do is ask how I'm doing, now that we've met like this.
I'm just not that glad to see you.
So it was you all along?
The one who helped me back at the construction site, that was also you,
wasn't it?
Why would you confuse me with this stupid thing?
Just why are you trying to run away?
Say something!
What? Are you going to run away again?
Are you going to scurry off like an idiot again?
Our paths happened to cross, that's it.
I only helped you because I knew you.
You lived…
That's enough.
Damn it, do you have a death wish?
You have no business here, you filthy half-monster.
Get lost!
Listen, you crazy bitch.
Even Ha-ni knows better than to stake her life on frivolous pursuits.
Of all the things to do, you decided to spend your time chasing after a monster?
Just be thankful you're still alive.
Thank God.
He was still alive…
And hanging in there.
If you plan on ruffling their feathers and bringing them to our
doorsteps,
Then you get lost, too.
Why did you do it?
Because I don't like her.
So why don't you like her?
She's the reason you keep hurting my friends, and the reason you keep
disappearing off to somewhere!
To protect her.
I don't trust you anymore.
At first…
I was curious about humans because they were like Mom.
So I approached them, but they only hurt me.
They shouted at me, pushed me away, and hurt me.
They kept burning all of my friends!
Leaving me all alone again.
They're just afraid.
They're afraid they might end up losing someone.
That's why I'm going to return the favor.
Give them a taste of their own medicine.
It's your turn to go through what I did.
Then you'll come to understand my pain.
I came here to tell you that.
Let's go home.
Okay?
There's no home for me to return to.
It's burning down.
Now…
I no longer need you, or Mom.
Yi-kyung!
Where are you?!
Yi-kyung!
Hyun-su…
Are you all right?
I ruined everything.
I just wanted her to be safe like you…
That was all I wanted for her.
It's not your fault.
"I should have killed her."
That's what I always thought as I raised her.
So…
It only stands to reason that she felt it, too.
You're wrong.
I watched you raise her.
I know how you felt all that time and how you endured it all.
It's all my fault.
I'm the one who made this mess.
This is for the better.
Dying like this might be for the best.
This way…
I don't have to kill her with my own hands.
Were you really going to kill her?
Why? You're her mother! So why?!
I don't deserve to be her mother.
I thought it over hundreds of times.
Why did my child have to be born like this?
It's all because of me.
My abhorrent desires…
Turned my child…
Into a monster.
So what?
Is it so wrong to be a monster?
This one protected you…
Because it thought of you as family.
Monsters can also feel and recognize people…
Because they were also human once.
Mom… Mom…
Oh God, what's wrong with him?
Open your eyes!
The hell are you doing?
I think he's dead, boss.
What's going on?
He was perfectly fine earlier. What happened to him?
He's been poisoned.
How much did you give him?
Just one bowl of that.
You gave him all of that?
Just what is this?
Poisonous mushrooms. The kind that causes hallucinations.
This one's going to be fine since she's got tolerance.
But he's going to need an antidote.
Hey!
Hey, wake up!
That asshole.
I'm losing count of the times he's disappeared on me like this.
As if enlisting without a word last time and breaking my heart wasn't enough,
Now he's gone and made me cry over some other bitch.
Damn it!
I'm so over you!
Give it to me if you're throwing it away.
Ugh, seriously.
Do you have any idea how valuable this is?
But there was a whole pile of them up there.
They're not the same, okay?
Chan-yeong gifted it to me with his autograph.
Well, you threw it, so I figured it was going in the trash.
God, you're annoying.
All set?
For what?
Are you going somewhere?
Today's the day we go to meet Father Peter, remember?
I'm in no mood to go there, okay?
Come on, I don't want to go alone.
Jesus.
Let me join you, sir.
No.
This is a personal matter.
How is finding Yong-seok a personal matter? You're being too reckless, sir.
Don't be so dramatic, you idiot.
Report on my behalf tomorrow.
Tell them I'll return with Yong-seok.
I can't do that.
I'm sorry, sir.
I had to protect you.
I heard the signal came from Bamseom.
Yes, sir.
You can't do it alone. Take some of the men with you.
Why the sudden change of heart, sir?
All right, since we're headed to the same place, let me tag along.
I don't care what you think, Sergeant Kim.
Just focus on making it back alive for the time being.
I'm going too. Yong-seok is my subordinate and friend.
-No, you should stay, Min. -Hey, Kim Yeong-hu!
What happened to us all being family?
Now you're just going without me?
Hey,
If something happens to both of us, who's going to lead the men? Yong-seok's
not your only responsibility.
Seo-jin,
I'll bring him back, no matter what.
Just trust me this once.
I do trust you.
You were always better than me at everything, after all.
But this is one of those missions that I know I just can't sit out.
I can't send you guys off and sit on my ass here…
So let me come along, Yeong-hu.
If things go wrong and none of you return with Yong-seok,
I'll be useless anyway.
Wow, you're making it sound too serious.
If you guys are going, so am I.
Well, if you're setting out, let me join you.
Bravo! Just wow!
Am I the only one cringing hard at this? Huh? Man, just look at this, I'm getting
goosebumps. Let's go already!
Man, I won't be able to drive with my hand like this. Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
Wow.
I can't see with these on at night.
Let's go.
Aren't you going?
What's wrong? Why aren't you talking today?
Ugh, I can't take this anymore.
Let's go for round two.
What?
Stealing in plain sight, huh?
Just let us do it here. I'll pay you back.
Got some to spare?
Join us if you want.
So uh, are you going to accept her, or not?
Stop it, he's a priest. That's highly inappropriate.
Why though? I'm not saying get married. He's free to date people, isn't
he?
You've had enough.
Hey, what's with you two? What's your relationship?
Are you two dating?
Are you playing with my girl here?
Just leave if you're drunk.
Damn, men are all such cowards.
That's why you got dumped, you know.
This kind of behavior is exactly what chases all the men off.
Get a load of this fucking bitch! Hey! The hell do you know? You don't know love
like I do!
I thought I was becoming a monster for a split second there. I thought I was
hearing things…
Gosh, don't say something like that.
It hasn't even been that long since our last incident.
Man, I can't even recall the last time I heard music.
You've got quite the odds and ends, Father.
It's not free.
You have to confess to drink this, and I know you didn't come to today's meeting,
mister.
My God, you're a heartless bunch.
What's really heartless is your decision to join us without anything to contribute.
Oh come on now, you'll become monsters if you're too greedy.
You folks should learn to give and share.
Turning into a monster doesn't sound so bad, you know.
At least you get to live long.
You won't be sick…
Or scared.
Come on.
That's right.
Sure, living like this fucking blows, but I'm not in this alone.
I'm okay with this as long as I don't turn into a monster.
That's literally all I ask for.
As for me, I'd like to get out of here as soon as possible.
There's much I'd like to show and teach, but that's not easy here.
What about you, father?
Tell us about yourself.
You listen to us talk all the time, but you never talk about yourself.
True that.
We're all ears, so let's hear your story.
There isn't much for me to say. Not much has changed for me.
Besides, it's not like I have a place to return to.
This is great.
I just love the post-apocalypse.
Look how well we're getting along, now that everybody's equal.
It's not lonely anymore.
You were homeless, weren't you, lady?
I'm loaded.
Stop talking out of your ass. No rich person would say that.
As if any has-beens would prefer losing everything and bumming around drinking
-beer. -God, this is depressing.
Ugh, this won't do.
I, Jung Ye-seul, will lighten up the mood. Get up.
All right, here we go.
Looks like I should change our sign.
You seem to be enjoying this.
You wouldn't get it, Sergeant Min. You get to come out a lot, with your expeditions
and whatnot.
You try staying holed up for a year.
Every encounter's going to be a breath of fresh air.
Not everyone's going to be like you, Doctor.
Most people would fear for their lives.
What's with the suitcase?
It's a secret box.
What's inside?
Don't you know what a secret is? It's secret because you just don't know what's
going to go in it.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
No! Stop! Stop!
Stop! Stop!
No, stop!
What is it?
I have a stomach ache.
We're almost there.
No, I need to go now. This won't take long. Just give me a second!
Hey, Jong-hyun.
Yes, sir.
Stay on him.
Damn it.
Jesus, why would you bring that along?
Who knows what I might run into out there?
Hey, Jong-hyun, is he about done?
Ugh, he must have held it in for a long time.
The heck did he even eat by himself?
Stay alert.
Yes, sir, of course.
Movement detected ahead. Please prepare to cover.
Roger that.
Hey, Seo-jin, do you have visuals?
I don't see a thing.
Hey, get ready, Seok-chan.
Yes, sir.
Don't come near.
-Ugh, I wiped, okay? -Hush.
What is that?
Lose this.
No.
No way.
Damn it!
Fuck.
Run!
Oh, come on!
Ugh, why is it so heavy?
Come on, run, run, run, run, run!
Faster!
Whoa, don't take it out on this thing, I'm right here, okay?
Fuck this shit. Fucking hell, you…
put something in here, didn't you? I almost dislocated my shoulders lugging it
-around! -You should have worked on your
shoulders more during your workouts…
Are you hiding anything from us, Doctor?
Ugh, I'm not hiding anything.
Hey, check inside, Jong-hyun.
Whoa, Don't touch that, don't touch it! No, wait!
Fuck me, is this guy for real?
I said we should just leave it behind, what are we even doing with this?
I never pegged you as such a coward, Sergeant Min. The thing's already dead.
That's exactly my point. What are you going to do with it when it's already
dead?
What, you're putting up a dead monster exhibit?
It was a first for me.
Jeez.
The monsters we encountered just now…
Didn't you notice something off about them?
Monsters don't recognize each other.
They have never teamed up and gone after a single target.
But this time?
Right.
They swarmed us all at once, as if they had been waiting for something.
They were organized.
So what, are you saying they set up an ambush or something?
That, or they were trying to protect something.
Ugh, damn it.
Ugh, damn it, seriously.
What's that?
Keep chewing on it. Don't swallow it and don't spit it out because it's bitter.
I'm not going to eat it. I'm not going to eat anything you people give me.
Take this prick and go somewhere else. He's going to kick the bucket soon.
Is it an antidote?
I can't give it to him without knowing what it is!
You really think I'd bother poisoning some bastard that's about to
die?
Chew on it.
Just shut up and chew.
Let's go!
It's been exactly a year, yup. Wait up!
So much has changed in just a year.
This is hardly an island anymore.
Nature's adjusting to this catastrophe in its own way.
What do you mean, sir?
With humans out of the picture, nature's returning to its old state.
Clear.
Seok-chan.
Yes, sir.
Doing that, does it help?
We all need something to believe in in situations like these…
We'll be okay, right, sir?
Why ask me? You should be asking that higher power you believe in, you punk.
That's why I was asking you, Sergeant Kim.
Well, don't, you jackass.
You'll be coming with me, Doctor Im.
Seok-chan, you're with me.
Yes, understood.
What's this now? Aren't we all going together?
Uh, I'm a little scared.
Lord knows I've sinned a lot.
Seo-jin, you take the rest of the men and go find Yong-seok.
Let's do that. Whichever team finishes first should join up.
Hey, Seo-jin.
Watch yourself out there. Don't die on me.
Go!
Where do we need to go?
To my sector.
The research facility?
I take it you're good in a pinch, Sergeant Kim?
Good at killing monsters and all that?
You'd better be, because I have no idea what's in store for us either.
Let's go.
It's the same drawing every time.
Uh-huh. It's my house.
By the way, when are they letting us go home? I miss home.
Later. Not now, but later.
How much later though?
You're never going home.
Yeong-su.
It's all lies, and you know it.
What if we all end up turning into monsters like Jun-il's mother?
You're so mean, Yeong-su.
Stop trying to be a good person, lady. You might end up dead.
-Kim Yeong-su! -Let go! Who do you
think you are to scold me?
You're not even my real mom!
Why do you even bother keeping that brat around?
I'm already at my limit. Don't get on my nerves and get out.
I don't think that side's having much better luck.
You think?
I just hope this search doesn't turn up any unwanted company.
What do you mean?
Ugh, what do you mean, what? Huh?
You could bring the ceiling down looking for an ant colony.
Even a small house has surprises, and this place is huge. God only knows what's
in store.
Come on, you're exaggerating.
We'll get a little extra something if we work hard.
Are you joining us?
Might as well.
Yeah, right.
You don't have to do these things, Ye-seul.
Why bother putting up with such hard work? Chief Ji already takes good care of you.
I'm just trying to do my part. I should do something if I don't want to disgrace my
mom.
My, your heart is as beautiful as your looks.
Mister.
Whoa now, I'm no "mister", okay? We're around the same age, Ye-seul.
Do you even know how old I am?
Uh, well…
Do you like me or something?
Uh, well, I can't say I don't.
I mean, name one guy in here that doesn't have a crush on you, Ye-seul.
The thing is…
I don't like you. You're not my type.
You don't have a chance in hell, Mister. Not even in the post-apocalypse.
Man, oh man…
What was that?
Ye-seul.
Help me.
You're the only one I can trust.
Okay?
A signal from the search party?
Yes, sir. They seem to have safely arrived at Bamseom.
Can we radio them?
No, sir. They're quite far.
Report back to me immediately once you get another signal, like you did just now.
Yes, sir.
What the? What's wrong with this thing?
What is it?
Something's jamming our signal, sir.
I'm sure of it, I swear I heard something.
Inside the walls, anyways, I'm telling you, I heard monster sounds coming from
inside.
You can talk to Master Sergeant Tak.
Oh, right, right, right.
Sir!
Oh God!
Sir, it seems like…
There's a monster in the stadium.
Sir.
We're…
Getting a monster signal.
What the hell?
Damn…
What's this all about?
Emergency roll call, ma'am. Please follow us to the central plaza.
I'll be there soon.
You have to come with us right now.
Master Sergeant's orders, ma'am.
Did you find an exit or something?
No ma'am. We think there's a monster in the stadium.
Did something happen?
-I know, right? -I'm scared out of my wits, seriously.
They got all these monster detectors, and they're all ringing like crazy. This one's
for real.
-Oh God, what are we going to do? -Were you there, Jin-guk? Huh?
-Did you see it for yourself? -Really?
Man, were it not for me, everyone here would be goners. I'll tell you that much.
Great job. You're amazing.
Oh goodness…
Good God, that guy's such an eyesore.
I agree.
What are you doing alone?
Not a day of peace.
Did you run away from home?
And you?
I'm not like you, okay? We just had a little spat.
God, you cheeky little brat.
After a little growing up, I realized it was all my fault.
When the grown-ups get mad at you, it's for a good reason.
So go apologize to your mom.
My mom's already dead, okay?
What the hell!
Who says you can only have one mom?
You can have two, or even three moms.
Ms. Cha is your mom, and that's that.
Little brat.
Whoa, Chief Ji is here.
Oh my, Chief Ji!
Chief Ji!
-Hello, Chief Ji. -There she is, Chief Ji, all right!
There you are, Chief.
Huh?
Wh-what's going on?
Is there really a monster?
Hurry up and kill it.
Something like this wouldn't have happened if the Crow Platoon was doing its
job properly!
-Damn, what do you think you're doing?! -What are you doing?
The Crow Platoon will take care of the monster incident we had today.
No one can avoid it.
Such is the nature of the catastrophe we're faced with.
We had to witness our friends, family, and lovers' deaths
With our own eyes, and that will continue endlessly.
Do not trust anyone.
That is the only way we can keep this place safe.
Do not stand around asking for protection. Hang in there with all you've
got, and fight fiercely for your lives.
If you don't steel your resolve, you will end up getting consumed.
From now on, those who hide their symptoms, as well as those who harbor said
individuals…
Will be terminated, on the spot!
We request your cooperation so that it doesn't come to that.
Good God, wh-what's he getting at?
Sounds to me like they're going to execute anyone who starts showing symptoms right
away.
They just declared a reign of terror outright.
But the detectors were ringing, remember?
So what, huh? Is that one settled, or are they on the case, huh?
-This means we're safe for now, right? -Ugh, I'm sure they sorted it out.
Such an inspiring speech, but it's missing a finishing move.
Why don't you stop hiding behind your platoon members
And lead by example, Master Sergeant Tak?
Sir, you don't have to do this.
Whoa, what's going on?
Why did the lights go off all of a sudden?
-Ugh! -What's going on?
There's no time to wait.
Is this the right place?
Probably?
By the way, you still haven't asked me what I'm looking for. Aren't you curious?
Does it have to do with your research?
If I wasn't briefed on it, that means I don't have to know about it.
Our first priority should be securing the asset, and making it out of here.
If it's something so important,
Isn't there a chance someone might have taken it already?
No one could have found it. I hid it very well.
I see you're certain about this.
Of course. What I'm looking for…
Isn't an object, after all.
The stench will kill us before the monsters do.
Something's here.
U-seok.
Damn it.
Motherfucking bastards!
From this point on, kill everything on sight.
What…
Happened to this place…
Doctor, don't act alone--
Yeong-hu, Yeong-hu.
They got U-seok.
Yeong-hu! Yeong-hu!
Hey, Seo-jin, what's wrong?
Damn it.
Sergeant Min, report your location.
Sergeant Min?!
U-seok?
What are you doing here, man?
U-seok, wake up, man, U-seok, talk to me, U-seok.
Hey! Wake up, man, okay? Answer me, okay?
Answer me, answer me!
Grab on, grab on.
U-seok, U-seok.
Sir, sir, sergeant, we have to leave now, sir!
He's already dead, sir, we have to get out of here, sergeant! I'm telling you,
U-seok's already dead!
Sergeant, we have to go!
-We have to go, U-seok. -Sir, we have to go! Pull
-yourself together, please! -U-seok, U-seok.
We have to go.
-U-seok, U-seok! U-seok. -Snap out of it! Please!
Sergeant Min.
Sergeant Min, answer me!
Seok-chan, tell the men…
What the hell is all this?
What used to be monsters.
But they've all evolved.
Are you telling us…
That those are all monsters?
Don't touch anything.
Have you forgotten what happened earlier?
You expect me to pretend I didn't see this? Why would I do that?
I'm telling you not to do anything that jeopardizes the mission.
Sergeant Kim, this is how the world works.
In order to gain one thing, you have to be ready to sacrifice another.
Don't you know this well, Sergeant Kim?
Isn't that the kind of resolve you had when you signed up for this?
If by sacrifice, you mean my comrades' lives, then yours will not be safe,
either.
So I should just leave them be and stare at them like some forbidden fruit?
-Ugh, seriously. -We're going to the research lab.
Is something wrong, sir?
Something must have happened to the rest of the men.
I can't radio them, or confirm their status. Let's join up with them for now.
Let's get going.
Ugh, you want to just leave after coming all this way?
I can't do that. I'm not going anywhere.
No way. I'm not going back empty-handed.
Then just what are you suggesting we do, huh?
Will you stay here by yourself?
Okay, okay, I get it, sheesh.
Look, I'm only going to slow you folks down, so just go on ahead without me.
I'll just wait for you outside once I'm done tending to my business here.
That sounds risky.
Ugh, I'm telling you, I'll be fine.
Well? Get going. You don't want anything to happen to your boys, do you?
Very well then.
Let's go.
You're to return once you've recovered the asset. You are not to touch anything
else. Do I make myself clear?
Crystal clear. I get it. I'm a total scaredy-cat, so I won't do anything
stupid. Just go, hurry.
Let's go.
I'm fine.
Huh?
No, you're so going to fall over.
There, by the fire, here, here, sit.
So, which is it?
Brother? Boss? Dad?
Which one is it, really?
The hell is it to you? Just eat this and get lost.
Uh, why don't you come with us to the stadium, sir? You'll be safer there.
Does that mean we're getting married?
Uh, n-no, that's not what this is.
Safe? You just got by on dumb luck.
That, or you just don't know enough.
Despite your concerns, we run a pretty tight ship, sir.
I don't trust people.
It's not like you trust monsters either.
What about her? Do you trust her?
So you do.
Let's go with them, Teach. Come on, let's go, please?
Come on, let's go.
How dare you come here?!
Help me.
This was the only place I could turn to.
What happened to her?
What about the child? The girl who left with you?
Let's get her inside first. Give me a hand.
Okay.
Sir!
You dare come crawling out here?
Stop it, that's enough!
I warned you, didn't I? I warned you not to drag any goddamn monsters out here.
He's the person she's been looking for. Why don't we talk this out--
That look like a person to you?
Move an inch, I dare you. Take one more step and I'm going to slit her damn
throat.
You've just proved my point. This is why I don't trust humans.
Way to repay the favor for saving your miserable lives from certain death.
I said I'll take him with me.
I said I'll take him, so just what, what is your problem?
You're mingling with monsters. That also makes you a threat.
If you're a human, act like one, for Christ's sake.
What makes you different then? Are you sure you won't become a monster?
What if you were to start showing symptoms right now?
I guess suicide would be your only recourse according to your logic. Monsters
all deserve to die, after all.
That's enough.
What about her?
Make sure to kill her if she becomes a monster.
Or should I save you the trouble before it comes to that?
Let's just call it bad blood.
Stop it.
Don't do this, Eun-yu.
Ha-ni!
Let's just go, Mister.
Come on, let's get going.
Guess we just weren't meant to be in this life.
I'll see you in the next one.
And make sure to lose her before we do.
Can you move?
How's the wound?
I'm okay.
We should also make our escape. The gunfire might have gotten the monsters'
attention.
Let's go.
Hypocrite.
You goddamn coward.
Are you going to say you had no choice again?
Sugarcoat it all you want, but you were just running from the truth.
