I'm really okay.
Cha Hyun-su. I need to talk to you.
What? Why are you only taking him? What about me? You know he's using you. Hey! Hey! Let me out, too!
It's important we deep the front gate barricaded at all times. We also need wooden planks and chains blocking the stairs. Monsters could get through at any moment. The same goes for the room back there.. Why do you think I took your side earlier? I'll be honest with you. You'll do all the dangerous work from now on. If you don't want to, then I can't help you.
What do you mean?
The guy in Room 1408. Can you bring him here?
Myeong:The flowers at spring. I can see them even now. All I wanted was to show my daughter the pretty flowers. Truly, it was just for one second.
Dulsik:You must miss her a lot.
Myeong:Calling me "mom," for the very first time, turning over by herself… I was so touched by such small things you know…
Dusik:Seeing those chubby cheeks of hers… made me feel like I had everything I needed in the world.
Myeong:You have children as well?
Dusik:I used to. Before this happened to my legs.
Myeong:I want… the same thing as Hyun-su. If I end up turning, pleas just kill me.
I can't do as you asked. I don't think I can take care of them without you.
Myeong::Is that so?
Are you sure she's not in there?
No. She's gone so... We need to all let her go now.
KIM YEONG-SU, KIM SU-YEONG
Wait wait. I heard you're a gangster. Don't gangsters do anything for money? I'll give you everything. Just help me go outside. I…
Move it.
I… No, you can't…
Open it.
Seung-wan:Are you sure this is okay?
Eun-hyuk:No but I don't think we can stop him.
You're not supposed to…
Wait.
I/s this it? You want me starving huh? You're glad I'm locked up in here, aren't you? I bet you're enjoying this. If I turn into a monster, I'll rip you into pieces. So do something, you stupid bitch!
We have to save food for everyone.
Listen to me. All that stuff is mine.
He said we're all going to share it the food.
Don't be ridiculous! You hear me?!
You should hold it in. I do it all the time.
Rescuing Han Du-sik is the main goal. The kids are secondary. Focus on the main goal. If things go south, leave the kids behind.
Are you playing with people's lives?
Then who should I have sent? It was the best option. We need that man in Room 1408. And we just can't afford to lose any more time.
I'm sure there's another way besides using other people.
My plan is to utilize golden hour. Cha Hyun-su was critically injured, but he woke up in just a few hours. If willpower can affect the turning stage, and if he unsuccessfully fight it can fight it, he'll be the strongest weapon we have.
This is what we call a weapon. He's still human.
I completely agree. For now.
And you sent him to die?
It's in your best interest to get used to using people on the verge of turning,
You really are twisted.
I don't think you understand how dangerous our situation has become. By the way, what did you think about the voting results? They're marked with Xs. I was thinking of secretly switching them. But I didn't need to after all.
-So you didn't switch the votes?
It was unexpected. I didn't think people would vote to let Hyun-su stay.
That's because you made them feel guilty, talking about murder and....
Do you really think they voted not to kick him out because of their conscience? Well, the man with the sword and the girl with the bat may have felt close to him because they were together. But what about the others? It's not easy to accept someone you don't know anything about, especially when your life is at risk.
So what's your point?
You still don't get it? Cha Hyun-su and Kim Seok-hyeon. Do you think they're the only ones who are turning? No. Everyone's scared. Because they don't know when they'll turn. There was someone who knew about this before the government announcement.
Who's that?
I don't know. It was an online blog I found by chance.
What did it say?
-Despair.
-What?
It said it's a curse. And that humans will never be able to overcome it.
You believe a stupid blog post when you don't even know who wrote it?
Under the circumstances, I don't think we shouldn't ignore even the smallest clues.
CRUCRU
THIS ISN'T A DISEASE. IT'S A CURSE.
CRUCRU
What's "Crucru"? Is it your blog?
-Hey, Yi-kyung. Well… When is it? Our wedding photoshoot?
What? Did you write you don't want to get married?
No, it's nothing like that. It's not what you think.
Where are you doing?
-There will be more infected people soon.
-So?
-So it's not going to be safe here either.
It's still safer than here,
-Do you want to come?
-To where?
A way to survival.
Hey Jisu.
I think there's a monster here. Let's kill it. We can destroy it right now. You're scared, aren't you?
Don't come! Don't come! Stay away, Sang-wook!
Okay move.
Are you trying to burn the whole building down,?
We have plenty of time to put the fire later. Just relax.
It will take ages to get to the first floor.
My goodness. I'm not sure anyone will still be alive by then.
Be careful.
Who's there?
He's alive.
The monster left him alive?
What's going on?
I couldn't reach my son's hand. I couldn't do anything when the monster took my son. It was too fast. If I had caught my son's hand… If I'd been able to reach that far, would my son be still alive? I can't forgive myself. I'm having nightmares every day. The monster in my head is telling me that it's all my fault. Maybe it will be better to just become a monster. No! It's my fault. I should've held onto him! I should've kept my son next to me! No! There was nothing I could do. It's not my fault.
GREEN HOME BARBER SHOP
Shouldn't we do something about her?
Just leave her be. She never associated with people like us anyway. Her daughter to a fancy school in Gangnam. Why not sent her to a local school?
I'm gonna dress your wounds now.
-I don't need that.
Yes, you do. Your bleeding has stopped, but you're still injured. Is it okay to let him go like that?
There's no need to worry about him. I bet he could take on a lion by himself.
Hey. You look pretty hurt, yourself.
No, I'm fine.
Move that hand. It'll get infected if you don't treat it.
I'll do it myself. Give me a bandage.
Move that hand, pretty boy. You're turning, aren't you? Yu-ri, get away from him. Move your hand now. Or else I'll make sure your heart will never beat again. Get out of here, let's go. I wouldn't have helped you if I knew you were a monster. Get out!
You think you're so funny
I was just kidding. Don't worry you don't have to leave.
Why in the world would I be scared of you when I'm going to die?
-Pardon?
-Yu-ri. you're gonna stay here. You're going to the 14th floor, right? And you said there are little kids there.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm sure you can use someone who's not at all afraid of dying.
No way.
Well you're fired. You've done well nursing this grumpy old man. But its time to come out of retirement. I want to play superhero before I die. Can you let me join you?
You're just acting tough.
What?
Don't fool yourself. No one really wants to die.
Is becoming rude one of the symptoms of turning into a monster? Let me explain something to you pretty boy. Not being afraid of death and wanting to die are different things. I'm gonna live longer than all the rest of your kids you see.
What do you want What are you doing there? Hey. Are you crazy?
You really… don't care about me at all do you?
What?
If I turn into a monster, I'm sure I'll kill you. But… I don't really want to kill you when you turn into a monster. That won't be satisfying.
You're not making any sense,
Ma'am. Is that man outside the door still there?
No, he left and went upstairs. So don't worry about it.
He went upstairs? Shit! Son of a bitch…
Son of a bitch…
Have you been well? Where's the lady?
Is anyone hearing this? We're in despair right now. We don't know what to do, what's happening, or how long we can survive this. But we are still alive. We can't overcome this despair. But… I'm sure there is an end. And we will hold out and fight until that end.
Hyun-su:Rest in peace. I'm going to fight a little longer.
Eun-hyuk:We will survive.
Hey! Over here! II'm not turning! Hey! Come over and check this out! Please help me! Look! Help! Somebody help me!
My oh my. You must've been scared. Take care of this guy
Alright.
Why were you in there?
Sorry. Just in case.
-I would've lost my mind.
-I'm out now, so it's fine.
-Right…
Are you really cool or just pretending to be?
Yun-jae is really kind and patient. Are you a fan of Hanwha Eagles?
-Yeah.
How did you know?
He's from Chungcheong Province right?
But you're not speaking Chungcheong dialect.
I lived in Seoul for a long time okay?
What's he so nervous about?
-I guess it was really tough for him.
-Maybe.
Eun-yu:[scoffs] You guys are such hypocrites. You pretended not to notice when he was obviously beaten up by someone, but now you're acting all nice.
YEs of course but..
That hit way too close to home. I feel like shit now. Damn it.
Hey.
That stupid gangster!
Careful, he's going to hear you.
Son of a bitch..He's a murderer. That man's a murderer!
You f**king murderer.
He has no criminal record and has no motive. There 's no evidence to prove it was intentional. And as his future shows great promise, the court has decided on the following sentence. The accused, Hwang Seung-jae, Is sentenced to 11 months in prison and 2 years of supervised probation.
You shouldn't die like that. You shouldn't die peacefully. You don't deserve a humane death you bastard. You…
You f***ing murderer…
You don't deserve to live.
Su-yeong, why isn't dad here with us?
They can't bring Dad here. They said it will be too sad for us if they bring him here.
That doesn't make sense though!
Grandpa…
We were born human, and we'll die as humans.
Are you okay?
I should be strong . I'm a mother.
What are you going to do now?
What do you mean?
You can't so this all by yourself.
There's no choice I have to. I'll deal with this on my own.
Yi-kyung… you did a really good job.
Dinosaurs used to rule the earth, but they went extinct about 66 million years ago. But this also proves that there is a possibility humans could also go extinct at any moment. However, our ancestors changed in order to survive. They called it "evolution." But if we humans are forced to face an apocalypse, will we… choose another form of evolution? Or will we choose to remain human?
