GYEONGSEONG CREATURE 2
[ominous music playing]
[Ho-jae breathing heavily]
[Ho-jae] What is this place?
[man 1] Please? Let me out of here!
[woman 1] Somebody!
-Help us! -[woman 2] Help us!
-[man 2] Please. Please! -[people sobbing]
-[man 2] Please help us! -[man 1] Help!
I don't wanna die.
Help! Anybody!
I don't wanna die!
[Chae-ok] Don't come any closer.
[panting]
I could actually attack you if you don't run away.
[Ho-jae] How is it that you're alive?
You need to stay away from me.
Go away!
[dramatic music playing]
[tentacles squelching]
-[Mrs. Nawol] Tae-sang! -[gasping]
[distant sirens wailing]
[sighs]
[door opens]
[Ji-su] You're finally awake.
What's with the handcuffs?
First, I'd like to know what happened yesterday.
Tell me who you met at the old factory.
Where is everyone?
I would like to speak with Yong-gil.
[Ji-su] Mr. Kwon is currently in critical condition.
He sustained severe injuries to his head, which led to cerebral hemorrhaging.
He received emergency surgery and is currently in the ICU.
[uneasy music playing]
Where's the ICU wing?
I have to see how he's doing. Take these off.
And why would I do that?
I just told you I wanna see how he's doing, so remove these now!
Uncuff me.
Listen, I am his guardian, all right?
Our investigation team found a weapon at the crime scene last night.
There were traces of two people on that weapon.
Hair and blood belonging to your friend Mr. Kwon
along with your fingerprints, Mr. Jang.
What are you trying to imply?
It means that you two were the only ones at the scene,
and based on evidence we've got,
there's actually quite a lot to suggest it was you that attacked your friend.
So why would you do that?
What? I would never attack Yong-gil!
He's my best friend. Why would I do that?
Was it because of money?
Money?
I've recently heard Bugang Company is in debt.
So how about we begin from there?
You have some nerve, Detective.
[Ji-su] Who, exactly, was the woman that was with you?
What's her part in this?
Tell me, is she the one who killed Madam Na and Mr. Oh Ki-hoon?
No, she isn't.
If the woman was with you, she must be connected to the serial killer.
She's not connected at all, I'm telling you!
Then how about you tell me what happened because nothing is adding up.
[Ho-jae] Yoon Chae-ok.
[clattering]
[Chae-ok] No!
Can you hear me? [whimpers]
Stay with me, okay?
Wake up! Don't fall asleep!
No! No!

GYEONGSEONG CREATURE BETWEEN A PRETENSE OF VIRTUE AND VICE
EPISODE 4 THE OTHER SIDE
[chimes ringing]
[elderly woman] Is it consciousness
or the subconscious that rules over a person?
[ringing]
[pensive music playing]
[elderly woman] What is it that changes fate?
Does it spontaneously occur
in our daily routines that we repeat over and over?
Or is it an unforeseen coincidence
that surfaces in hardship?
What is it exactly
that ultimately defines us as a person?
Is it disposition?
Or perhaps it is ability.
Yes, well, would it not all depend on the person in question?
And why would it depend on the person in question?
Eh, we are all unique individuals.
All different.
And we each transform in unpredictable ways.
I argue it's not about differences
but our imperfections.
The real truth of the matter is that
the majority of humans are imperfect beings.
They struggle between good and evil.
That's why many are meant to be led by someone.
It may seem, at first,
that humans are ceaselessly searching for life's answers,
yet, in actuality,
they are perpetually attempting to resolve
the anxiety that resides deep within them.
Thus, a human being
does not have the required capacity
for good intentions.
They make selfish decisions.
The choices they make
are always for their own benefit.
They only think of their survival from beginning to end.
So that is why our work here is so significant.
It's because we are leaders.
It is also precisely the reason…
[stirring string music playing]
…that we need to continue gaining ground
as we move forward
and learn to evolve more quickly.
We do not have the time to be wasting
on any more failures at Jeonseung.
I apologize.
We'll continue to try harder.
He has to return.
Make sure you do whatever it takes, Chairman Kato.
Uh, but Lady Maeda,
well, at this point, he's--
He has to return.
Yes.
[chimes ringing]
[car doors close]
[music fades]
[indistinct chattering]
[phone buzzing]
Mm, Detective.
How's he doing? Any updates?
[Ji-su] He's having a total breakdown.
He demanded to see Kwon Yong-gil at first,
but it seems he's out of it and keeping quiet now.
He's taking a nap, I think.
[man 1] What'd the doctor say?
His injuries aren't that severe,
so the doctor says he'll get discharged later today.
Okay, get him discharged first, then head over to the police station.
I have a lot of questions for him.
Yes, sir. I'll do that.
[disconnect tone]
Hello, is there any way for Jang Ho-jae to get discharged sooner?
Give me a minute. Let me confirm with the doctor first.
[phone clatters]
[sighs]
[stirring music playing]
Sh.
Be quiet.
I'm gonna let you go.
[man 1] How is this possible?
-[sighs] -[stirring music continues]
[sighs]
We're about done searching outside, Captain.
We found nothing significant.
-What are you doing? -Give me a hand with this.
Okay, I got it. Thanks.
[sighs]
"Nitrogen."
What is this for?
It says "Jeonseung Bio."
It's that laboratory.
-Are you sure? -Yes, sir.
All right, let's get outta here.
There's lots to talk about.
Are you joking, asshole?
Like I'm letting you fool me again.
[uneasy music playing]
You don't wanna find the girl?
[music fades]
[chains rattle]
[stirring music playing]
The doctor said he will be down in a few minutes.
Do you mind waiting down the hall?
All right, I'll be waiting.
[man on radio] I'm on my way down, over.
Call for backup now. The suspect disappeared.
[dramatic music playing]
INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
-[sirens wailing] -[indistinct radio chatter]
[officer 1] Officers, get inside as fast as you can!
[whistle blowing]
[nurse] Mr. Kwon Yong-gil's guardian?
Please put on a mask and sanitize your hands first.
Because the patient is unconscious,
you only have five minutes.
Then please come right out.
What happened? What do you mean he's gone?
Hey, Forensics. Here. Have this looked at.
[Ji-su] We have everyone, including backup, searching the hospital.
We'll find him as soon as we can.
Son of a…
[dramatic music continues]
[Ho-jae] Yong-gil.
Why did you do that?
For what?
I should at least know why you did it.
[sighs]
[officer 2] We received a call from the ICU.
Someone claimed to be Yong-gil's guardian and asked to see him.
-[music subsides] -[Yong-gil breathes heavily]
[weakly] Don't go.
[monitor beeping]
[wistful music playing]
[Yong-gil] Don't go back.
Don't go.
[Ho-jae] How are you feeling?
Can you hear me, hyung? It's me, Ho-jae.
[Yong-gil] You can't
go back.
Don't go back.
Just live as…
as Ho-jae.
Don't go.
[Ji-su] Huh?
Ah shit!
[brooding music playing]
[indistinct chattering]
[breathing heavily]
[unsettling music playing]
[chains clattering]
[loud clatter]
[pants]
[door clattering]
[researcher] This is the brain scan.
Let me zoom in for you.
That way, you can get a better look.
The way the Najin has embedded itself is similar to that of Seung-jo's.
Usually, when they enter the body as larvae,
they latch on nearer to the top of the head.
But these two have settled in the back of the brain.
Seung-jo received a mature Najin from his biological mother.
I think it's likely
that she, too, received hers in a similar way.
[unsettling music continues]
[door clatters]
-[panting] -[door clattering]
[door clatters]
[man] It's not gonna open.
[chains rattling]
[Chae-ok] Who's there?
[breathing heavily]
Do you know where we are or what they want with us?
[groaning]
[retches]
[sighs]
[man retching]
Are you all right? Look at me?
[man breathing heavily]
They all told me it would cure me.
That if I drank it…
then I wouldn't have my disability anymore.
That's what they said.
[music fades]
[researcher] The experiment is simple.
Drink the water from the glass that has been placed in front of you.
Then you'll get a deposit into your bank account.
You will receive ten million won each.
[test subjects exclaim]
Uh, sir?
Yes?
If the experiment ends up working,
does that mean I will be able to use my leg again?
[researcher] You have post-polio syndrome, I see.
You'll be cured.
If the experiment ends up working,
you'll no longer live with a disability.
All right, everyone. Let's drink up, shall we?
[phone buzzes]
10,000,000 WON RECEIVED FROM AHN JONG-HYEOK
Ten million won. [gasps]
MY PUPPY
[automated voice] The number you are trying to reach is unavailable.
Please leave your name and message after the tone.
[disconnect tone]
[Jong-hyeok] I don't have to live with a disability anymore.
You don't have to suffer for me.
-[screaming, crying] -[clattering]
[man 1] Help! Help me!
[screaming, crying continues]
[whimpers, sobs]
[clattering]
[woman] Please help me! Somebody help me!
[sobbing]
[screaming]
[grunting]
[crying]
[gasping]
[crying continues]
They said if it was successful…
that I would be able to walk again,
that I'd be able to walk like a normal person.
[sobbing]
[dramatic string music playing]
[skin squelching]
[retching]
[chains rattle]
[music subsides]
[Ho-jae] When I was in that accident last year,
well, is there anything else you left out?
I think you're much better off now than you were before the accident.
I'm here to see whether or not you still have any of your old memories.
[Chae-ok] Please. [sobs]
Yoon Chae-ok.
[Ho-jae sobs]
[reverential music playing]
[sighs]
[wistful piano music playing]
[high-pitched squeal]
[groans]
[Mrs. Nawol] Master Jang.
[high-pitched squeal fades]
[wistful piano music continues]
[Mrs. Nawol] Master Jang.
[Gap-pyeong] Hey, Master Jang.
[groans]
-[high-pitched squealing] -[sentimental music playing]
[Mrs. Nawol] Why are you just standing there, Master Jang?
Aren't you taking a photo with us?
Ah! Goodness!
The whole day is gonna go by. Hurry!
[sentimental music continues]
He says we gotta take the photo while the light's still good.
Stop messing around!
You and I, we'll take our own photo together afterwards.
Listen, Yeong-chun, with that, you can hire your own photographer.
Do you understand?
[all laughing]
Goodness. Hurry, Master Jang. Please get over here. Hurry.
We're all waiting.
[laughing]
Come on, Master Jang!
[chuckles]
Let's go, hurry.
[sentimental music continues]
All right, I'm ready.
[indistinct chattering]
[photographer] Okay. Everyone looking good.
-Wait just a minute. -[photographer] Sure thing. I'll wait.
All right! Everyone, look here.
One, two…
[camera shutter clicks]
One, two, three!
[camera shutter clicks]
[all laughing]
[camera shutter clicking]
I'm fine, really. Do I have to?
We're celebrating, all right?
A little closer. That's great.
[Mrs. Nawol] Goodness, smile. They won't arrest you for smiling.
Oh, look at them both smiling.
[all laughing]
[photographer] Look here. One, two, three.
[camera shutter clicks]
[sentimental music continues]
[sighs]
[breathing heavily]
[music fades]
[sighs]
Something to drink?

[whooshes]
[unsettling music playing]
[whooshes]
[grunts, groans]
[breathing heavily]
[Seung-jo] So weak.
-[whooshing] -[grunting]
[Seung-jo] You're way too slow, Ho-jae.
[Ho-jae grunts]
[Seung-jo] How do you expect to find the woman in this weak state?
[Ho-jae breathing nervously]
You asshole.
Show yourself instead of hiding, huh?
[Seung-jo] Does it look like I'm hiding?
I'm right behind you.
[Ho-jae grunts]
[groans]
[Seung-jo] Must be driving you crazy.
I'm here, but you can't see me.
And when you see me, you can't catch me.
I've had enough of your bullshit.
Come out.
Show yourself, you bastard!
Now you see me.
Think you can beat me?
[breathing heavily]
[Ho-jae grunts]
-[groans] -You'll die at this rate.
[groans]
No one has ever messed with our clan before.
Except for one person.
[groans]
It was you. Don't you want your powers back?
Damn, you crazy bastard! [grunts]
[Seung-jo] I think you know… what I'm talking about.
[groans]
Your memories are returning.
Aren't they?
[slicing]
[unsettling music continues]
[groans]
[grunts]
[grunting]
-Ah! -[flesh tears]
[moans]
You once said to me…
[Ho-jae moans]
…"Don't run. Face it dead-on."
"Look it right in the eye."
"Only then will you have a shot at winning."
[Ho-jae whimpers]
Do you remember when you said that, Ho-jae?
[labored breathing]
You will soon enough.
[tense music playing]
[door clanking]
[Chae-ok pants] Are you all right?
Hey!
Can you hear me? What's wrong?
[Kuroko01] He'll stay like that for a while.
And if he wakes up, he won't be able to recognize anyone at first.
Instead, he'll have intense cravings.
However, I'm sure you already know that.
How long have you lived with a Najin?
Why don't you tell me where I am first?
As far as I'm aware…
a Najin has never been leaked to the outside by anyone here.
What is this place used for?
What kind of bastards are you
that you would do something as inhumane as this?
How have you survived on your own?
Tell me how it is that you have been able to live with a Najin unsupervised,
and are there more like you out there?
This place isn't…
Ongseong Hospital, is it?
Is it?
After the Greater East Asian War ended, Ongseong Hospital closed down.
Most of the building had been destroyed,
but from its ruins, a new company was erected.
Jeonseung Bio.
The company was founded by Chairman Kato, together with Lady Maeda.
And it's Kato's son, Shin Ji-oh, who is the current chairman now.
[sighs]
[Chae-ok] So it… never ended, then?
This hell.
It's your turn to speak.
So who are you?
[dramatic music playing]
[Kuroko04] Come out.
[music subsides]
[sighs]
[brooding music playing]
[Chae-ok breathing heavily]
[footsteps approaching]
[chains rattling]
Your choice.
Will you return to who you were before?
Or will you…
die here as you are?
[Yong-gil] Don't go. Don't go back.
[monitor beeping]
Just live as
as Ho-jae.
Stay as Ho-jae.
[gasps]
I don't care if you're…
Jang Tae-sang.
Or if you are Jang Ho-Jae.
Just return to the person I remember.
For old times' sake, all right?
Hmm?
[door opens]
[tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
[breathes nervously]
It has been so long…
Miss Yoon Chae-ok.
