(Episode 15)

Hello.

Sit here.

You haven't seen the news today yet, have you?

What?

I'm a terrorist?

("Mirae Biomedical Gets Influenza Virus Stolen")

This is nonsense!

They're the ones spreading it.

What do you mean?

Tell us everything that went on in the research lab.

Everything.

Mirae Biomedical...

is well known amongst researchers for their influenza market research,

that started eight years ago.

Last year, I was offered to work with them on the project.

As you know already, influenza is terminal as of now.

I had my research interest...

and they offered me strong support for my research.

The cure was almost ready...

and as soon as I joined the research team,

the first task I was given was to create the H5N1 virus.

I was confused as it was immediately known for its harmfulness...

as soon as Eramus University announced their findings.

Isn't this virus hazardous?

We need the virus in order to make our medicine more effective.

We can't exclude the fact that avian influenza can mutate anytime.

It's only for our research purposes, so don't worry too much about it.

Eventually, I created the virus...

and it turned out that the new medicine is...

only effective when used in the long-term.

It was announced that the medicine will be released soon.

Then one day...

This is our company's confidential documents...

and according to it, I think they're trying to manipulate our virus.

- What? - Just trust me on this...

and don't come to the lab until I call you, all right?

- Yes, sir. - Let's clean up the lab.

We're directed to relocate to here by 9pm today.

I took this with me on my way out.

Is it okay for us to touch it?

I went home and waited for Mr. Seo's call...

as we were directed to do so.

But then...

I heard that all the other researchers died.

So I've just been running away from them.

All I wanted...

was to participate in a good research project.

I just wanted to develop the medicine as soon as possible,

so that it may help more people.

It's good that you're here now.

Don't worry, we'll protect you.

This is terrible.

All of their evil schemes are just so big in scale.

What?

What? What is it now?

What's this?

What's wrong?

Boss... Take a look at this.

Avian influenza, new flu viruses and MERS.

New viruses emerge and attack us every year,

yet what has the government done to combat this?

I've taken Jungwon's municipal funds...

and invested in Mirae Biomedical with it before.

I'll take responsibility for the lives of Jungwon citizens myself.

We plan on releasing the medicine as soon as possible...

with the health center and Sangjung Hospital.

I would never let a single...

It's as if he has been waiting to make this announcement.

This was his plan all along.

And to protect ourselves...

against new viruses and biological terrorism,

we need to introduce market economy into our healthcare system.

Existing public health services are just not enough.

I'll be revealing my blueprint on this soon.

This virus,

am I the only one who feels like Cho Jun Hyung will really spread it?

I feel the same.

The official statement he released just now...

was basically a declaration of war against us.

The stock price for Mirae Biomedical will skyrocket...

once people get scared enough by what he just said...

and the TV airs people dying.

This will make privatization of the healthcare system easier,

as Kim Nam Young wishes.

Are they insane or what?

We're talking about people's lives here.

I'm getting goosebumps.

Kim Nam Young? Kim Nam Young,

the man running in the election?

Yes, Kim Nam Young the presidential candidate.

He's the evilest of all.

Could that be the same Mr. Kim...

that the guys in the research lab were talking about?

What do you mean?

They said that they'll be taking documents to Mr. Kim's office.

They talked about books, events and whatnot,

then said that they'll proceed as planned.

That means...

if what Mr. Seo said is true,

that means Nam Young really plans to spread the virus.

A book event?

Is he actually planning on spreading the virus?

I knew that was bait.

Apparently anyone can publish a book nowadays.

Isn't this what you're talking about?

(Presidential Candidate Kim Nam Young's Publishing Event)

What an idiot.

Only his supporters will attend his book publishing event.

Why would he spread a virus to his supporters?

Nobody would question him then.

But he might catch it himself.

We made a small number of vaccines in case we caught it.

If you get the vaccine shot beforehand,

you develop immunity to it.

He probably got the shot.

To guard his own life? What a psycho.

What a sick piece of trash.

What a wonderful country it'll be if a man like him gets elected.

This is probably a good chance for him...

to say that he himself caught the virus as well, but got better...

thanks to Mirae Biomedical and use this for marketing.

How can humans possibly be so evil?

Then he plans on keeping the virus in his own office.

What an idiot. Who would keep viruses in an office?

That could be hazardous.

No, it's a smart plan.

- Right. - It's the safest place to keep it,

since Kim Nam Young is a strong candidate.

People can't get in and out of the office easily.

If anyone tries to mess with the office,

they could be blamed for taking political offense.

So not even the police can get in.

They won't get in.

It's just as Se Young said.

The book publishing event is at Nam Young's office building.

The office is on the 2nd floor and there's a book cafe on the 1st.

They'll hide it where nobody can find it,

then spread it during the event.

What should we do?

What should we do?

Head in.

How will you...

get inside?

This is the catering company for the event.

This is the security company.

Let's see which safe in the office was purchased with the company card.

Who are you guys?

This is our type of thing.

You guys are so cool.

It's what we do.

Won't it be difficult to look around the entire area...

if we sneak inside pretending that we're the catering company?

That's true, but each of us has our roles.

It seems like I'll be the only one who can look around the whole venue.

You're right.

- What? - First,

Na Byeol will find and take the virus inside the office.

Roy, keep your eyes on the security guards.

(Kim Nam Young Candidate's Book Publishing Event)

Eui Sung, monitor the surveillance cameras and back us up.

I got access to surveillance cameras.

And whoever disguised as the caterer...

can get a thorough look around the venue,

but won't be able to see who's attending the event.

Then maybe you and I should keep a close eye on the cameras.

The angles aren't the best.

Right, and I don't know about showing my face to them.

They won't recognize me, will they?

What?

While I'm concerned that I may ruin your plans,

I'd like to help in any way that I can.

It's not a bad idea.

I want to do anything I can,

for the sake of...

my coworkers at the lab that passed away.

Su Kyung will help you out then.

Let's get those guys.

Great then, which do you prefer? A server or a caterer?

Se Young can be the caterer.

It'll be better for a rookie to be in a designated spot.

- Okay. Se Young, this way. - Okay.

Don't worry, it'll be safe.

They'll keep an eye on you and I'll be with you.

Yes.

(Bus terminal)

This is a block away from the venue.

All the stores nearby are closed by the time the event starts,

so we'll be safe if we park here with all surveillance cameras off.

Okay.

The security system they're paying for is Star Rank,

the toughest and the most expensive company, so how will you hack it?

That's a good point.

It takes at least three days to hack into this system.

That's why...

I sent them a little something in advance.

I have a flower delivery.

This way, please.

(Congratulations to Mr. Kim Nam Young.)

(Book Publishing Event, "No Failure" by Kim Nam Young)

- I have flowers for Mr. Kim. - This way, please.

Yes, sir.

(Congratulations to Mr. Kim Nam Young.)

As soon as the flowers I sent...

is displayed at the cafe,

the device inside it will act as a router.

That way, I can get into the system right away from outside.

You're seriously a genius.

It's only a temporary measure, though.

If anyone finds it suspicious and blocks it, it's done.

It'll just earn me an extra 10 minutes.

So I just need to do my job in 10 minutes.

I got you.

There will be tons of supporters for the book event.

It's not a bad plan we got.

I just fear...

that Jun Hyung might lock me up somewhere...

and try to kill me again.

We'll all be safe since it's an event with lots of people.

Yes, it's an important day for his favorite candidate,

so it'll be his own loss if he decides to act out.

And plus...

you have us.

That's why.

You're funny.

The citizens are trembling in fear at the news of possible terrorism.

With just two days before Mirae Biomedical's vaccine release,

there's a rumor going around on social media...

that a sample of the vaccine will be released earlier,

causing the locals to crowd around...

at the local health centers and at Sangjung Hospital.

The police are tightening the security...

in crowded areas like the city hall and subway stations.

And as per parents' requests,

the school district is considering a school shutdown for all grades.

Everyone is going crazy because of the virus.

Exactly.

Everyone is trying to refrain from holding big events,

which is a red flag for all candidates before the election.

Your popularity definitely went up...

thanks to your quick release of your official statement.

It's just time for you to consolidate your position.

Indeed.

I hear that the office keeps getting calls,

asking you to not cancel the book publishing event tomorrow.

I should've just said that I'll be giving out the vaccines there.

Is everything ready to go?

Catering, security, the host,

and even the tables for the event are set.

I made sure that everything is set, so don't you worry.

(Judicial Research and Training Institute)

Hello.

Hello.

(Kim Nam Young's Book Publishing Event)

Hello.

This way.

(Kim Nam Young's Book Publishing Event)

- Hello. - How have you been?

This way.

- It's been a while. - Nice to see you.

Please, come in.

(Kim Nam Young's Book Publishing Event)

Se Young, it won't ever slip out, so just act casual.

Okay.

I feel like I've become insane,

hearing voices from my ears.

I'm heading in.

I'm blocking out all the surveillance cameras now.

Okay, they're all blocked out.

We just have to hope that they won't notice this fast.

I'm heading now as well.

Be careful, all right?

Don't you worry about me.

Everything is good, right?

Yes, sir.

Jun Hyung just headed out towards the main hall.

Okay.

He's here.

I'm heading in.

Hello.

Hello.

Welcome.

Hello, how have you been?

My dear Kim Nam Young!

You look even better in person.

You're too kind.

I'll buy the book for all our employees to read.

I'm just going to grab a cup of tea.

You don't know how eager my husband was for this event.

- Hello. - Hello.

Now that I'm in and safe, let's see who looks suspicious.

I like this.

Okay, so everyone got in safely.

Why isn't this working?

Why won't this work? Shall I kill you?

You have such a temper.

I'm working on it now.

(Gu Ji Hoon)

I thank all the VIPs for sparing your precious time to attend...

Kim Nam Young's book publishing event.

We will begin Candidate Kim's book publishing event shortly.

Please welcome Mayor Kim Nam Young with warm applause.

(Book Publishing Event)

("No Failure" by Kim Nam Young)

Thank you.

I thank you all for sparing...

your time and effort to come and meet me.

I'll do my best tonight so that...

your time here does not go to waste.

Thank you.

I noticed someone suspicious. Will follow right away.

Okay. Be careful and deal with them quietly. Got it?

Yes, sir.

I'm in.

Good. Quickly search for a safe.

That's my expertise.

Let's see.

Thank you. You have my respect, Mayor.

No one here looks that suspicious.

No. Don't come over.

Excuse me, sir?

Can you tell me which company is in charge of the catering?

The food's delicious. I'd like to hire them for my company's event.

- Where's the men's room? - Oh.

It's right outside.

I'll have the staff give you a business card.

Okay, thank you.

- I'll be back. - Okay.

(Book Publishing Event)

I can't do this.

Cho Jun Hyung scares me way too much.

No one in the hall stands out. Can I just leave?

It's too early. Keep looking for a while.

Just one look at their faces and I can tell if anyone's off.

No one in the hall is...

Yes, honey. I looked and couldn't find it.

Okay.

My gosh.

Why is she so pale? Is she a ghost?

Did you see her? You can't see.

She probably has a stomachache, right?

No?

Did I catch her doing something fishy?

What was she doing?

See? You have to stay a little longer.

Yes, yes, I'll stay. As you say, Boss.

I'll stay a bit longer.

Poor me.

Good luck.

Se Young, report right away if you see anything odd.

Okay, I'll keep my eyes open.

How is Roy doing?

Just a moment.

Hello.

Can I check you two?

Darn you.

A game console?

Poor you.

It's not them.

Why is there nothing here?

Hey.

Why don't I see anything? Did he hide it here?

It must be hidden somewhere more secret.

Show me the bookcase.

"Justice"? That's nonsense, coming from him.

This is obviously a decoration.

If he read something like this, he'd at least...

How cute of him to hide something like this in here?

Let's see.

What could the four-digit code be?

Kim Nam Young's date of birth? Last digits of his phone number?

His wife's birthday? His daughter's? What do you want first?

While you were talking, I got in.

Good going.

(Book Publishing Event)

Thank you. I respect you, sir.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I'm honored to have your autograph.

The honor is mine.

I'll support you always.

Okay. Thank you.

Sir. What is this book "No Failure" about?

I'll explain.

No one in life can say they never failed.

I myself failed many times,

and I believe everyone here has experienced the same.

But...

we should not fear failures but rather overcome it.

Let's try to overcome all hardships. Let's live that kind of life.

That's the message I wanted to send.

Oh, sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Wait a minute. Hey, hey, guys.

Just now, I saw one of the catering staff...

with what looked like a capsule.

She just went into the ladies' room with it.

Where? The first floor?

The ladies' room. Okay.

What's that?

Darn it. They noticed I hacked the cameras.

- Get out of there. - Darn it.

How long until security shows up?

10 seconds?

- Darn it. - Shoot.

Roy, will you get over here?

(Book Publishing Event)

Oh, dear.

I think something in my office upstairs malfunctioned.

The alarm will be shut off soon.

What's going on?

(Kim Nam Young Book Publishing Event)

(Kim Nam Young Book Publishing Event)

I think there's an intruder.

They're going down the emergency staircase.

- Turn off the alarm. - Okay.

Go.

Requesting for assistance at the emergency staircase.

Hey, this is backbreaking. Can you manage?

Where?

First floor ladies' room? I'll come over.

- Hey. - Calm down.

Let's go inside and check.

See if you notice anything strange.

Okay.

Is someone here? The door's locked.

I think she put the virus into the air freshener.

I think...

I inhaled the virus.

Su Kyung. Su Kyung, are you okay?

Are you all right?

Can you help us?

We need help. I think she is exposed to the virus.

What?

What's going on?

What?

Eui Sung. Connect me to Kim Nam Young's earbud.

Candidate Kim. As mayor,

you introduced many novel and unconventional policies.

What were they?

Kim Nam Young? It's Lee Tae Joon.

Let's skip the greetings.

I know you'll spread the virus...

to make a profit.

I also know you already did so at today's event.

Hong Se Young, the woman you tried to kill...

is our witness.

Today, before the event ends, I will reveal the truth.

If you want to get out alive,

hand over Cho Jun Hyung.

He's all I want.

That's the only way you can get out alive.

For a short while, I will cut the electricity.

Make an excuse and go to your second-floor office.

If you don't,

your political career will be over. You have five minutes.

Sir?

Boss.

You heard me. Cut the electricity.

What are you going to do?

My gosh.

Darn it.

Sir?

Sir?

Shall I repeat the question?

Oh, no, it's fine.

- What happened? - What's going on?

- Why is there a blackout? - My goodness.

I guess I'll win the election.

There are so many incidents today.

Let me go upstairs and check.

- Is that okay? - Yes, that's fine.

I'd appreciate it if you remain calm and wait in your seats.

I'll take this time to accept any questions...

you would like to ask Candidate Kim later on.

(Kim Nam Young Book Publishing Event)

Breathe deeply.

Se Young.

Will I die?

Step aside.

We're in here! Help us.

Get in here. She doesn't look good.

What is this mess?

You completely fell for my trap this time.

What?

Breathe deeply.

Are you okay?

Lean against the wall.

Will I die?

What's going on?

Se Young.

Se Young!

Is it locked?

- Se Young! - It won't open?

No. No!

- I don't want to die! - Se Young!

I can't die like this!

- I think we got played. - What now?

Hurry up!

Did you just threaten me with the fact that...

Hong Se Young is your hostage?

You fool. She's a mole that we sent to you.

It was Director Cho's idea.

My gosh. I wasn't sure at first,

but it really worked.

It's so amazing.

Oh, sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, guys.

Just now, I saw one of the catering staff...

with what looked like a capsule.

She just went into the ladies' room.

(Kim Nam Young Book Publishing Event)

Hey.

Don't waste your energy.

I'll let you out when the police arrive.

They should be here soon.

That girl leaving Mr. Kim's office and running off.

Did you delete the footage?

Yes, that's done.

Each one of you...

will be arrested on site for spreading the virus.

Who would believe that?

You people created and spread the virus!

You heard.

There's nothing to prove that you took the virus from my office.

No one would believe you no matter how hard you try to explain it.

I'm presidential candidate, Kim Nam Young.

You are a group of criminal losers with records.

Who would the police believe?

How could you...

even think of releasing a virus at an event with your supporters?

I got vaccinated.

Me, Director Yang, Director Cho, all of us.

What about the others?

What about your innocent supporters?

The medicine will cure them.

Thanks to you, my business will get off to a flying start.

I can sell the cure, my hospital services,

and my insurance.

I'll hand out the cure in order of amount of donations.

The people here will believe anything I say.

You go that way. We'll go upstairs.

The police are here.

Now listen.

You threatened me with an act of terrorism,

so I came upstairs.

And it's your team that released the virus in the ladies' room.

The victim is researcher Hong Se Young.

Thanks to the quick response from my security team,

the attack was stopped,

and captured your team in the ladies' room.

Well? How does that script sound?

Over here. The criminals are in there.

That's the scene of terrorism.

Here's the key.

Go on inside.

Don't you still get it?

We got you.

What?

That's ours.

Here's the evidence. Take a look.

What happened?

We knew it all along that...

Hong Se Young was your trap.

We almost fell for it.

The setting was quite elaborate.

About Se Young.

What?

- Forget it. Never mind. - About what?

Wasn't it odd that she said they wouldn't recognize her?

They won't recognize me, will they?

What?

Isn't that why you looked at me?

Right? Did you sense that too?

We never mentioned Cho Jun Hyung to her.

- That's why I said... - Boss.

I looked up what you told me to.

Based on what she told us, she's legit.

The Jeju Island seminar, Hankuk University research center.

Look. Her profile...

and the info on Kim Nam Young is too accurate.

In this case, suspect first. Isn't that the basics?

So you looked her up?

You're so thorough.

The man we're up against is pretty thorough himself.

The book cafe on the first floor.

Su Kyung, you start from the catering area.

Yes, sir.

There is a total of five people in the TF team workshop.

Five people?

(Hong Se Young)

1, 2,

3, 4, 5.

I think we can put it on this table.

Guys.

Hong Se Young is definitely a spy.

Don't you bluff. That's impossible.

Are you inside?

Candidate Kim, it's the police.

Come in.

You're under arrest for planning a virus terrorist attack.

Come with us.

What are you saying? He's the terrorist!

I had to come up here because he threatened me!

Each one of you...

will be arrested on site for spreading the virus.

Who would believe that?

You people created and spread the virus!

You heard.

There's nothing to prove that...

you took the virus from my office.

No one would believe you no matter how hard you try to explain it.

You're dead meat.

That was frustrating, wasn't it?

In a short while, Candidate Kim will join us...

and take the time to speak with you.

Before that, I asked if you had anything you wanted to ask him.

We'll ask those questions one by one very shortly.

(Book Publishing Event)

It looks like...

Candidate Kim prepared a special video to show you.

Please pay your attention to...

the screen in front so we can watch the clip.

I'm presidential candidate Kim Nam Young.

You are a group of criminal losers with records.

Who would the police believe?

How could you even think of releasing...

a virus at an event with your supporters?

I got vaccinated.

Me, Director Yang, Director Cho, all of us.

What about the others?

What about your innocent supporters?

The medicine will cure them.

Thanks to you, my business will get off to a flying start.

- What is that? - My gosh.

I can sell the cure, my hospital services,

and my insurance.

I'll hand out the cure...

Where are you going?

- Come back! - What is this about?

- Explain that! - Director Yang!

- Director Yang! - What is that?

What's this about?

Director Yang! Director Yang! What is this? A virus?

Tell us! What's this about?

Were you trying to kill us?

Okay.
