[ominous music playing]

[5-8] Cheonmyeong's power started from oxygen.

If the air gets cleaner, they will lose everything.

[door opening, closing]

Noona.

You sure they're polluting the air on purpose?

I measured it myself.

CEO RYU SEOK OFF-SITE SCHEDULE

What'll you do now?

[bomb beeping]

[suspenseful music playing]

[computer] Air purification...

[Ryu] Are the physical examinations going well?

Yes, but more of them are getting exams without problems,

which makes it a bit more popular as we proceed.

VACCINATION COMPLETE

[5-8] Gonna be rough from here on out,

so you do what you feel is right.

[5-8] Gotcha.

[gun cocking]

[man] Drop the gun.

[tense music playing]

[5-8] I think you should drop the gun.

[man grunting]

[all gasping, screaming]

[gun firing]

[man 2] Here, this way, this way! This way, here! Over here!

[man 3] Protect him, quick!

[intense music playing]

[man 4] This way!

This way, sir!

[bullets ricocheting]

[5-8] Mr. Oh betrayed us. I'm heading down.

[man 4] This way! Find the shooter!

[soldier grunting]

[5-8] I'll get Ryu Seok! Cover me!

BLACK KNIGHT

[Seol-ah] The kidnappings, the explosions at the Refugee District,

the truth behind the air purification vehicles.

In all of this, Cheonmyeong's been involved.

[tablet sliding, clattering]

So should I take care of all of this privately?

You know I'm a soldier.

I'll solve the case based on the concrete evidence we discover.

[cell phone vibrating]

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON RYU SEOK SUSPECT: 5-8

[ominous music playing]

[Ryu seething]

Our deliverymen?

So the guy shooting at me and destroying my stations

is one of Cheonmyeong's deliverymen?

Yes.

The explosions and bus hijackings

have been planned out by our deliverymen, sir.

There is a secret organization among the deliverymen,

and the mutant is in it.

He's part of that group, sir.

[Ryu breathing deeply]

Those bastards get to breathe because Cheonmyeong allows it.

And they think that they're superheros, or something?

[Ryu seething]

[Seol-ah] Chairman Ryu now knows the truth,

He's meeting the president tomorrow.

So we just hide in our little holes now until they figure something out?

And what? Cover up the truth?

Even if Ryu Seok's out of the picture, what changes?

If you keep all of this up,

you might just bring about uncontrollable chaos.

[5-8] Preventing chaos sounds like Ryu Seok's logic.

Refugees getting massacred,

the complete breakdown of the atmosphere.

Has Cheonmyeong's order brainwashed you a little, Major?

[Seol-ah] Everything will be resolved tomorrow.

Be careful.

[Sa-wol] Okay.

[car engine starting]

[2-4] If Chairman Ryu knows, isn't that it for Ryu Seok?

Yeah, that's what the major thinks.

I think it's worth trusting.

If we wait another day, we'll know more.

[3-3] I agree. Let's wait.

We'll split up for now.

[intense music playing]

Dammit! Those sneaky sons of bitches!

[5-8] Kill your GPS and stand by in the Refugee Districts.

[computer trilling]

These are not deliverymen,

they're terrorists who put our company and our way of life in jeopardy.

You may shoot to kill starting immediately, understood?

All except for the mutant. I want him alive.

Yes, sir.

[suspenseful music swelling]

[music fades]

[footsteps approaching]

GENERAL DISTRICT 2-4

[man sighing heavily]

So there was a reason you were all dying.

[footsteps approaching]

[dramatic music playing]

[mask whirring]

So how are you?

Well, just been getting old.

You've aged well.

I would rather stay up here on the surface and suffer a little bit

than have to move underground just for air.

Took me five more years to complete building the Air Core

without you there,

which also delayed the construction of District A.

[man sighing]

If I had been there, I'd have blown up the Air Core.

[Chairman Ryu chuckling]

Hey, why did you have to raise such an awful son?

Son takes after the father, that's the way it is.

This is my burden in life.

[man sighing]

The soil is coming back to life more and more the further south you go.

[Chairman Ryu] I heard the air is getting cleaner too.

To hell with District A.

What about leaving the Air Core and coming back out?

It's still a possibility.

[Chairman Ryu] Yes, I have to finish this.

[dramatic music playing]

[mask whirring]

I'm a cleaner, and you're a deliveryman, so why am I delivering things, huh?

You know that I got let go.

[woman chuckling]

[woman] This is the government's Refugee Reassignment Plan revised by Ryu Seok.

The physical examination is proceeding according to the revised plan.

It'll be different this time.

And you're sure, right?

Gotta see it to believe it, or what is this?

You gonna be all paranoid like that forever?

I'll be less paranoid when the refugees are in General Districts.

[woman sighing]

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION COMPLETE VACCINATION COMPLETE

CHAIRMAN, CHEONMYEONG GROUP RYU JAE-JIN

PRESIDENT, REPUBLIC OF KOREA CHAE JIN-GYEONG

[computer] The relocation plan led by the government

will include you, the refugees.

You will be given relocation rights

that will allow you to live in General Districts.

JOINT AGREEMENT, CHEONMYEONG WILL ENTRUST TO THE GOVERNMENT

THE RIGHTS TO OXYGEN SUPPLY, DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND RELOCATION PLAN

[tense music playing]

I'm very sorry about your son.

I feel as though I'm handing you, Madam President,

a great burden to carry now.

[president sighing]

[Ryu panting]

I never would've thought you'd do something like this.

The chairman will be giving a statement about the agreement soon.

I'm gonna miss seeing you around.

[seething] Hold on a minute...

You can talk with the defense minister.

You better be going.

[suspenseful music playing]

The oxygen and delivery system are the heart of Cheonmyeong.

Why are you giving it away?

It was my goal to create these things to save people, not to kill them.

What?

[Chairman Ryu] I know about what you've done.

You did this. You made your bed, now lie in it.

[Ryu's breath shuddering]

There's still time to save this, okay?

But admitting this destroys me.

I am not losing Cheonmyeong this way!

You can't because it was never yours in the first place.

- [Ryu sighing] - [door chiming]

Oh, Father.

[suspenseful music playing]

Now it's time to take responsibility for everything you've done.

[music fades]

Mr. Ryu, you're being placed under arrest for violating the law.

[unsettling music playing]

What?

Arresting me?

[Ryu exhaling sharply]

What have you done?

[sinister music playing]

Why?

I'm sorry, did that surprise you?

You know I blew up hundreds of refugees.

This shouldn't surprise you.

[Ryu breathing shakily]

[gun cocking]

Take care of your burden right now, don't put it off on someone else.

[sighing] Your problem is not knowing when to stop.

Then make me stop, old man. Do it! Kill me!

You think I can't pull this trigger right now?

[suspenseful music swelling]

[Ryu breathing shakily]

[gun firing]

[dramatic music playing]

Oh, Father.

Mr. Ryu...

the last step of the plan is the coup.

We'll capture the president first.

[Ryu's breath shuddering]

[dark, dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

GENERAL DISTRICTS REFUGEE REASSIGNMENT PLAN

What's that?

The Refugee Reassignment Plans.

- Oh. - Not sure I trust it.

I think you should believe it this time.

Yesterday Chairman Ryu came by.

He personally promised we'll go to the General Districts.

- He was here? - The announcement will be made soon.

[cell phone vibrating]

[somber music playing]

Sir, uh...

[man] Huh?

[radio static]

[Ryu] I, Ryu Seok,

will carry on the late Chairman Ryu's will

and lead Cheonmyeong

with dedication and devotion.

[unsettling, dramatic music playing]

All high-ranking officers are summoned to the defense minister's office.

What?

I also promise to arrest every one of the deliverymen.

Are they attempting to stage a coup?

They're disrupting our citizen's safety,

they're destroying facilities and attempting assassinations

alongside the Defense Ministry, and are considered terrorists.

All deliveries will be halted

until every terrorist has been arrested.

We ask for your understanding...

[man gasping]

[Ryu] ...in dealing with this troubling situation.

We've got one option...

go to the Core District immediately.

[intense, suspenseful music playing]

The Core District's blueprint.

Chairman Ryu and I created it.

I always hoped I'd never have to use it.

Thank you for it.

[man] These are wanted terrorists.

Deliveries to all districts will be completely halted

until all 12 deliverymen have been arrested.

CHEONMYEONG LOGISTICS

[man] Cheonmyeong Group and the government will send supplies to each district.

Please check when and where the supplies will be delivered.

We ask for your full cooperation in order to minimize any confusion.

Right here.

[tires screeching]

[gun cocking]

[music fades]

[Seol-ah breathing deeply]

[sighing heavily]

[woman] We ask that all refugees at the Physical Examination Center

for the relocation plan

stand in line to register your personal information first.

The comprehensive vaccine was created by Cheonmyeong Pharmaceuticals

in consideration of the weakened immune system

and health of refugees.

The vaccine has undergone a thorough range of clinical trials and tests

to prove its safety and efficacy.

It's about time they start dying, right?

Yes, sir. Should be taking effect now that we've passed the incubation stage.

[IV whirring, beeping]

[Ryu scoffing]

[sinister music playing]

[refugees gasping, murmuring]

- [man gasping] - [refugees sobbing]

[man] What in the world is going on?

[Useless] It seems to be a contagion.

We're moving to the General Districts soon.

It's awful right before getting out of here.

[man] A contagion?

Useless,

it... it's the physical examination!

[Useless] What?

Huh?

- Oh my God. - [man] What?

[Useless] The dummys went to get their physical exam.

[man] Huh?

[ominous music playing]

[intense, ominous music playing]

[man panting]

- [man straining] - [bell ringing]

[bell ringing in distance]

[man straining, panting]

Sir, what is it? What's the matter?

[man gasping, breathing heavily]

Uh, don't do the physical examination...

Don't let them do the physical exam on you.

If they give you the vaccine,

you will die!

[cell phone vibrating]

4-1: THE VACCINE WILL KILL YOU

[2-4] Dammit!

[5-8] We have to stop it, whatever it takes.

[intense, suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Dumb-dumb] Wow, so all you need to do is get a shot?

[Dummy] Just a little prick and that's it, right?

[Useless] Everyone, wait! Stop!

You can't go in there!

- You'll die if you get the shot! - [man] Who are you?

[Useless] You'll die if you get the shot! I've checked!

Dummy, Dumb-dumb!

You guys, get out of there right now!

[Dummy] Huh? What's with him?

[Useless] Everybody, get out of there! [grunting]

- [Dummy] Useless! - [Dumb-dumb] Useless!

[soldier] Don't move!

[both] Whoa, whoa!

- [radio beeping] - [2-4] I'm at the physical exam center.

I'll get started.

[refugees gasping, screaming]

[gun firing]

[explosion]

[refugees screaming]

[soldier 2] Terrorists are appearing at physical examination centers

around the districts.

Heighten security and kill on sight.

[soldier] Don't move!

Who are you? Identify yourself!

[Sa-wol] What? Why is he there?

[sighing] Shit!

[refugees screaming]

[gun firing]

[Useless] Don't come over here!

Stop! Don't... [grunting]

[music fades]

[somber music playing]

[Sa-wol] Useless.

Useless.

- [Useless groaning] - [Sa-wol] Useless!

Useless!

[Sa-wol's breath shuddering]

[Useless gasping]

[Sa-wol voice breaking] No.

Go. Run away.

Don't let them capture you, okay?

Hey, U...

Useless!

Run...

[Sa-wol] Useless.

Useless!

Useless! Oh, God!

Useless, no!

Useless.

Useless!

- [Dummy] Sa-wol! - [Dumb-dumb] Useless!

- [Dummy] Yoon Sa-wol! - [Dumb-dumb] Useless!

[music fades]

The mutant deliveryman's been arrested.

He'll be sent here.

[Ryu] Good.

[man] The vaccine plan has failed due to the attack

on the physical examination centers.

Minister.

[tense music playing]

Let's just wipe them all out.

It'd be easier that way.

Major...

they've just arrested your brother.

Sa-wol?

They're transporting him to Cheonmyeong now.

Cheonmyeong?

Just give us the order, Major.

[Seol-ah exhaling]

[Lee] We're ready to move out.

[Seol-ah] No orders, but...

there is one thing.

[suspenseful music playing]

Good luck, my friends.

Just be careful.

[2-4] Who's there?

[tense music playing]

Did you hear about Yoon Sa-wol?

Yes, he should be at Cheonmyeong's office by now.

We're going to get him back.

[Seol-ah] We're headed to the same destination.

I'll show you the way.

[intense, dramatic music playing]

[Sa-wol breathing heavily]

[Sa-wol roaring]

[inaudible]

[Sa-wol] Did you help me because I'm a mutant?

[5-8] No, I did it because you were an immature refugee kid

who didn't know what the world was like.

[Sa-wol] What does that mean?

[5-8] You asked what was different about the Special District residents, right?

[Sa-wol] You said they were born there.

[inaudible]

[5-8] So what do you think about people who live and die miserably

just because they're refugees?

[Sa-wol] Refugees are people too. They live and breathe.

That's unfair.

[5-8] Cheonmyeong wants anyone born as a refugee to die.

That's how it's gone so far,

and will continue to go.

That is the world you're living in now.

We're attempting to change that.

What are they doing?

Where's Mr. Oh?

Crashed down through the sky?

[power whirring]

[explosions]

[Oh] What just happened?

Who's there?

[4-1] Who do you think? I'm the deliveryman here to get you.

[Oh grunting]

[Oh exhaling sharply]

[computer] Initiating emergency power system.

[Ryu] How does this make any sense?

They must've found a blueprint.

They've cut off the main line to the Core District.

Get me Defense.

[Seol-ah] Minister,

you're under arrest for treason.

[tense music playing]

[sinister music playing]

[door closing]

[radio beeping]

[Seol-ah] This is Major Jung Seol-ah of the Defense Intelligence Command!

The defense minister has been placed under arrest.

Insurgents, drop your weapons and surrender.

I repeat. The defense minister is under arrest.

Insurgents, drop your weapons and surrender.

This is not how everything ends.

[Ryu sighing]

[machinery whirring, humming]

[alarms blaring]

[computer] Air Core energy overloading.

- Air Core energy overloading. - [crowd screaming]

[computer] Evacuate. Air Core energy...

[men grunting]

[Ryu] Come out here!

Isn't the brat important to you as well?

[5-8 wincing]

[5-8 panting]

Yes, he is.

Killing yourself is the best you got?

I'm not letting the refugee, vermin scum have this.

I'll decide how to end things.

You massacred the refugees,

you polluted the atmosphere,

you conducted experiments on kids.

Your death won't bring forgiveness.

I'm not looking for forgiveness from you,

5-8.

It's impossible to satisfy everybody.

But I had a job to do.

[tense music swelling]

[chair beeping]

[Ryu grunting, groaning]

[machinery whirring, humming]

[computer] Unable to control energy supply.

[Ryu laughing]

[Ryu exhaling sharply]

[weakly] It's all over.

You don't get to decide that.

[computer] Unable to control energy supply.

Emergency evacuation.

The Air Core will explode.

[crowd screaming]

[alarms blaring]

[machinery whirring, humming]

[crowd screaming]

[dramatic music swelling]

[president] The construction of District A is now complete

and we will begin relocation.

Refugees will be relocated in order

according to the date on their registration.

And the government will do its best to facilitate a safe and speedy relocation.

The government will also remove the status system

classifying people into refugee, general, special, and core citizens,

and reform the residential and oxygen supply system.

We will never cease working

to ensure that every Korean citizen can live equally without discrimination.

[music fades]

[soft, dramatic music playing]

[machinery whirring]

THREE MONTHS LATER

[computer] Disinfection complete.

Ugh! Why are you so late?

[Sa-wol grunting]

- [mask whirring] - [5-8 sighing]

When am I allowed to go back to work already?

It's imprisonment. I'm going crazy in here.

You complain a lot. [tutting]

You still got more to learn.

Shouldn't you check ID?

[5-8] Oh, right.

[breathing deeply, sighing]

Doesn't the air feel cleaner?

Sky's getting much clearer as well.
