Blood
[Episode 19]
Please move. Let me see the Chairman.
You can't see him now.
Please move.
The Associate Director has the right to see him too.
I'm not saying she doesn't.
Just wait until Doctor Yoo Ri Ta comes out.
Leave her alone.
Uncle... What do I do now that you're gone?
It would have been better if you hadn't told me at all.
You should have taken your secret to the grave.
Let's go now.
Since he atoned in this way...
am I supposed to forgive him now?
No, you don't have to.
And forgiveness...
that comes once everything has been set right and
there's no longer anything left to do.
It's still too early.
Ri Ta.
You should have contacted me first.
Why don't we talk alone, once we've sent my uncle off.
Now, you've truly become the sole owner of this tree.
But, your expression doesn't look very good.
A tree grows on water, but now this tree grows on blood.
A tree cannot grow well on water alone.
Do well at the shareholder's meeting.
I hear that the trend is tilting in your favor, Associate Director.
And if anything is getting in your way, you can always let me know.
What is it?
Do you think I tied the noose around the Chairman's neck?
There's no reason I would bother doing that to a man with only days to live.
He passed away because of you.
No, he made that distinct choice on his own.
Honestly, I went to the Chairman to inform him he would be dying soon.
So, you told him?
No, I only watched him sleep and came back.
I suddenly felt compassion for him.
We sold our souls for eternal life.
But, the Chairman sold his soul for a mere 100 years.
How pitiful is that?
Whether it's eternal life or 100 years, that's not what's important.
If you live even one second of it as a monster, you're a monster.
And what is your criteria for what a monster is?
Is it me?
If so, you need to make some adjustments to your criteria.
Especially in a world like ours, that criteria isn't going to cut it.
I thought that if Uncle passed away...
he'd be able to meet Sister Sylvia.
Now it might be difficult, right?
I'm curious about something.
Why did Uncle suddenly confess everything?
Agent number five.
Are you referring to the drug he was injected with?
Yes.
Yes. It was a drug used by the government to get confessions.
It weakens one's ability of self preservation and self awareness.
It makes one tell the truth.
So, it must have been the drugs.
That's what I thought, at first.
Since people don't change very easily.
But, I think I was wrong.
The drug can make one tell the truth.
But, it can't make one pay for their sins through death.
I think the Chairman's confession to you...
were his last sincere words to you before dying.
It's tonight.
I'm sure Yoo Ri Ta will go home tonight.
She's probably tired from the funeral service the past few days.
I want to ask you one more time.
You want to know if we must kill Yoo Ri Ta?
Of course we must...
But, today... she just had her uncle's funeral service.
What about it?
It's just one slightly special day out the many days.
And today, take Chul Hoon with you.
Do you have a problem with that?
- It's just... I'd like to go alone. - Go together.
Ri Ta.
I don't have to turn this on for you to know what this is, do I?
You were the same as Uncle, weren't you?
You cared for me and loved me more because of the guilt you felt.
Ri Ta...
Alright... I suppose I'll let you call that love.
And in return for that love, I'll give you this one chance.
I want you and the people you hired to turn yourselves in.
Ri Ta...
This is the last chance that I'm giving you.
If you don't do as I say, before the shareholder's meeting...
this recording will be sent as a voicemail to all the shareholders.
Ri Ta.
You knew that Uncle was dying, didn't you?
Was this your doing too?
No! It wasn't me!
So, it wasn't you, but you did know.
Growing up, I felt so happy and warm receiving love from you and Uncle.
But, I couldn't have dreamed that it would turn out this revolting and hateful.
- Ri Ta... I... - Don't explain any further!
You've made me into enough of a fool.
Ri Ta...
My feelings for you...
were sincere.
The thing about lies...
At first, lies are told to fool others...
But, eventually you end up fooling yourself.
Just as we expected, they are acting like infected.
The pace of our research can't keep up with the deteriorating side effects.
Then at this rate, they will all die just like the Director said.
Chief... can I ask you a difficult favor?
- Yes. - I need your blood, Chief.
Up until now, I have only seen a digital image of it.
I know that you are concerned.
Doctor Joo informed me about it... That only he has handled your blood.
I assume that means it is very unique and dangerous.
If it doesn't sit well with you then...
No, I will give it to you.
We must do whatever we can to save the patients.
Thank you.
Now, you've truly become the sole owner of this tree.
But now this tree grows on blood.
A tree cannot grow well on water alone.
- That was very difficult. - Yeah.
- Doctor. - Yes?
I know it isn't my place to say it, but I wanted to tell you this.
Stay strong, don't skip your meals, and catch up on all your sleep.
What do you mean, it's not your place?
Thank you, Ga Yeon.
I think this is the first time you've called me by my name.
Oh, is it?
I should've called you by name earlier.
I think I know now, why the Chief chose you.
You understand pain better than anyone else and you overcame that pain.
I'll become like you, right? Someday...
[To: Chief Park Ji Sang] [Yoo Ri Ta is in danger.]
- Bye. - Chief.
I'm not sure if I should say this...
Doctor Yoo looked like she's going through a really hard time.
I'm not saying this as your student, but from a woman's point of view.
Make sure to be with her today.
You should make sure...
There's a liver transplant patient that transferred here from Daegu, right?
Yes, that's right. Chief Park Ji Sang's patient.
When was that patient's surgery scheduled for?
You don't have to take me home today.
- It's okay. - I'm really fine.
I'm so tired. I think I'll pass out right away.
Then just pass out. I'll be there next to you.
Don't be overprotective. You'll have a nervous breakdown.
Stop talking nonsense and let's go.
Yes?
What is it suddenly?
Okay.
What is it?
An emergency with the liver transplant patient.
The surgery was scheduled for tomorrow, but the failure is too extreme.
You should go then.
Hurry.
I might be in the operating room for about ten hours.
So, send me a text.
Once before you sleep and once when you wake up.
Okay.
Chief!
I thought you didn't have a surgery tonight.
Oh. It's an emergency liver transplant for patient Choi Nam Soo.
But, the donor hasn't gone into surgery yet. It's getting late.
Do you want to join?
I wish I could, but I have to go home and take care of something.
Okay, go on then.
[Get out of the house now and run.]
I'll go in alone.
The Doctor wanted us to go in together.
Doctor Yoo Ri Ta is in there alone. I can take care of it by myself.
I don't want you to see me kill someone.
Okay. But, call me if anything goes wrong.
Thanks.
Doctor?
What is it you're looking for?
Doctor...
[Private Number] [Get out of the house now and run.]
Such an urgent message.
Not really a useful message to be seen.
Why did you do it?
Explain in a way that I can understand.
I felt that I had to do it.
Why?
I thought Joo Hyun Woo and Yoo Ri Ta's deaths were not necessary.
Are you saying I unnecessarily tried to kill those who didn't need to die?
To you, this wasn't an act of betrayal, but a humane decision?
Have you also come to see me as a monster?
No, that's not it.
It's just that you kept calling for drastic measures.
You felt very foreign to me and I was scared.
- So I... - If I hadn't taken drastic measures...
you wouldn't be alive and standing here now. You too!
My drastic decisions are what saved your lives and cultivated our plan to this stage.
But what? Feels foreign to you?
I sent you to keep an eye on Park Ji Sang.
But, you became his student.
That's not true.
I still consider you as my father and respect you.
I just hoped you would change.
We can strive to achieve our goal without...
Doctor...
Change...
That's merely justified betrayal.
This world is already dirtied with betrayal everywhere.
Betrayal is solely for your own sake.
If you won't accept me...
you must disappear.
What do you think you're doing!
I'm sorry, but you can't do this to Ga Yeon.
Please forgive her one more time and give her a chance.
Or I will take her place and...
Doctor...
I told you both clearly.
You should not become my weakness!
Doctor!
There is only one thing we want.
The heart you had when you saved us... the look in your eyes.
That's all we want! Why don't you understand that?
Both of you, get out!
Get out of my sight now.
I'm sure I told you to leave.
I will never leave you.
It's a promise I made when you saved my life.
Ga Yeon feels the same way.
What if I don't need you and might kill you both?
Even then.
Please...
Please do not throw us away.
Gosh seriously.
Oh... why did I do that?
What did you do now?
Gosh... I'm sorry Ji Sang.
- Let's do some more blood work. - Again? Why?
The thing is... I was cleaning before and I forgot to put the power back on.
All the blood has become decomposed.
Gosh! You should've checked it.
- How annoying. - Sorry.
Didn't you get enough sleep?
No, I slept over nine hours.
Oh, my head hurts and I have a fever.
It's probably the stress.
Why do I feel so out of it?
- Doctor Yoo! - Yeah?
Oh my, what's wrong with me?
What brings you by, this morning?
Listen carefully to what I'm about to say Manager Choi...
Yes, sir.
Did you send the results to Doctor Joo?
Yes, I did.
Did you get the email from Doctor Choi?
Yes, I'm opening it now.
These jerks...
- What is it? - It's just as you thought, Ji Sang.
Tiniumbenubital has been found in Doctor Yoo's blood.
What is that?
It's a type of anesthetic and sedative.
- There's nothing else? - No, there isn't.
But, how could she have it in her system without knowing?
It's colorless and odorless. It could've been sprayed into the air.
It can also be put inside food or water.
I think I had water as soon as I got home.
They really are doing all sorts of nonsense, aren't they?
Where are you going?
I like you the more I get to know you.
Enough that I want us to be friends.
Someone who shows me their cards like this...
it could be considered showing a weakness to a person.
However... you, Associate Director are quite wise.
This is not showing me a weakness, instead it is showing me great trust.
We are now in the same boat... Director.
So in the end, Doctor Yoo is the only problem.
You looked after her like a daughter, so you don't want it done in a hasty manner.
Then, of course I must do it.
Don't worry.
All you need to worry about is the shareholder's meeting.
Please make sure there is no fear or suffering.
I'm asking you.
Of course.
Chief...
What exactly did you do to Doctor Yoo Ri Ta?
What?
Why did you medicate Doctor Yoo with Tiniumbenubital?
You have to tell me now. I can't let you get away with this anymore.
I... I... have no idea what you're saying.
It was you who sent me the text about Hyun Woo being in danger.
You even called me to find out if he was okay using prescription as an excuse.
But, the patient was getting properly medicated. Exactly as prescribed.
And yesterday, you said that I should stick by Doctor Yoo.
It was a message to prevent something dangerous.
But then there was a sudden change in surgery schedules...
so I couldn't do as you said.
No doubt it was the Director who planned it.
To keep me away from Doctor Yoo.
After you found out that there had been a change...
you were shocked to see me in the lounge.
What exactly went down yesterday? Talk now.
How did you find out? My identity...
Hurry.
I said to start talking.
Doctor... no, the Director...
gave an order.
An order to kill Doctor Yoo Ri Ta.
Seems like you're taking your time.
I'm sorry. I just needed time to prepare my mind.
I had a few things to wrap up as well.
There are plenty of people who can take over whatever you need to.
Give me a little more time.
I'll finish things up quickly and do as you say.
Associate Director... Do not let me down.
I couldn't kill her.
It wasn't right.
Since when were you with the Director?
When I was little, he saved me when I was dying.
Are you by chance... that picture...
I've wronged you in many ways.
The one who switched out your medication...
And the one who shot you in the neck at the construction site was me.
I already told you this. That I'm not a good person.
Then why did you help me?
I thought that it was the right thing to do.
If you think doing the right thing is important...
you shouldn't be working for the Director.
No matter how wrong or bad...
a daughter can't leave her father.
I want you to consider that decision once more.
Until you come to a decision, I'll pretend to not know.
Chief...
Go.
Min Ga Yeon.
Yes?
Thank you.
Why did you buy so much water?
Get rid of all the water in the house and drink these.
I was just going to order a water filter.
I don't trust that either. Drink this.
That's a doll I haven't seen before.
Do you know what that doll's name is?
- What is it? - Young Hee. Park Young Hee.
After everything's in order, we are going to Kochenia together, okay?
Let's go and give it to Young Hee as a gift.
Okay. Let's go together for sure.
Did anything happen today?
No, nothing much.
I've come to give you a chance to restore our relationship.
Honestly, I wasn't planning to kill Doctor Yoo Ri Ta.
I was just testing you.
And through that process, you lost my trust.
However this time, I need you to kill her for real.
My thoughts on it haven't changed.
There's no need for Doctor Yoo to die.
Then Na Jung will die.
What?
That girl you favor, Na Jung.
Doctor...
To help you remember your original intent, I'll re-enact what happened.
Including the suicide jump from a building rooftop.
No way, how can there be blood cells like these?
It's completely different from others that are infected.
No matter what sort of biological substances infiltrate, the antibodies form within a minute.
Even amongst the infected, I'm sure Chief Park is a mutation.
- I don't doubt it. - That's right!
I remember seeing a memo in Doctor Jung Han Su's notes.
That two infected people can't have a child.
Impossible to conceive.
But, Chief Park was born of parents who were infected.
The reason VTH-16 kept failing was this.
Yes, that's right.
Every single cell exists as an antibody.
So when new antibody is injected, all cells are killed.
When it's supposed to kill only the cells with VBT-01.
Meaning... it kills of everything, including its enemies and allies.
Even with stem cells and the targeted anti-cancer drugs...
it'll kill off every cell.
Then, whether it's antibody or anti-cancer drug...
it'll need to restructure cells' strength and function so VBT-01 can be differentiated?
Right, that's the solution.
But, how?
Send this to Doctor Joo.
Today, instead of emailing it, I'll go in person to brief him in person.
Email would work just fine.
You lasted longer than I thought.
You should've done something big while you were on the run.
Please forgive me.
I was too thoughtless.
That's enough.
I said that's enough!
But, Doctor...
I'm suddenly curious.
Do psychopaths ever repent?
And can they have respect for others?
Wow.
He's rightfully Doctor Jung Han Su's son.
Will these be of any help?
They're beyond helpful. More like he solved 70% of it.
Yay!
But, I think the last puzzle is the problem.
Something that can make the cells to get differentiating factors.
We'll find it no matter what.
If a solution can be found
it'll work on not only Chief Park, but on 21A patients too, right?
Yes, they will become human again.
It can also be created as a virus.
It'd be so great if that happens.
Oh, I'll get going now.
Already? Do you have plans?
Nope.
I was going to go home and catch up on TV shows with beer.
What TV shows...
As for beers, we have more than enough here.
Well, then, I'll have just one can before I go.
Okay.
[Do vampires transform when they kiss?]
[He didn't transform at all. He was pretty good at it.]
[Q.100 If you could die, what would you do before you die?]
I don't like it. Change it.
Your answer to question 100...
By the way, when did you first meet Chief Park Ji Sang?
It was six years ago.
I used to upload my thesis on the vampire virus regularly to this infectious disease science site.
But, everyone treated me like I was some crazy person.
I got kicked out of my research center and my professors expelled me.
Well, they sure don't know how to spot a good person when they see one.
People must only believe what they see.
But the thing is...
the first person to acknowledge my thesis and come looking for me was Ji Sang.
After that, I found out that truth about what he really was.
And we've been together ever since.
You weren't scared of him?
After I first saw him transform, I couldn't sleep for about three days.
But, I got better soon after.
Though you met like that, the two of you seem like real brothers.
To me, he's more than a brother.
Why's that?
He knows me better than anyone.
You know there's a saying...
A hero dies for the person who recognizes that he is a hero.
I really do like seeing the two of you.
The way that you two truly take care of each other.
Oh... suddenly, the mood is so cheesy.
Soo Eun, this is a little flat.
Should we mix in some soju?
Bomb.
Excessive drinking can be bad for your mental state and your health.
This is nothing, Luuvy.
We won't fall apart with this small amount.
Call!
Uh oh.
Oh!
Oh, just keep doing what you were doing.
Luuvy, nothing happened last night right?
This is your lively selves exactly six hours and 14 minutes ago.
Three, two, one...
Excessive drinking, what an embarrassment.
Have you just come out of surgery?
Yes, it was Doctor Lee Ho Yong's surgery.
Yeah? You must be tired.
Oh yeah, Ga Yeon. We should go out to eat sometime.
Oh yes.
Work hard.
- Doctor. - Yes?
What is it?
Never mind.
That was awkward.
No.
This isn't right.
This can't be.
Come in.
What brings you by?
I figured out a way for the cells to differentiate the factors.
- Is that true? - Yes.
It is no longer VTH-16, but VTH-17.
It is a perfect antibody to the virus.
You've worked so hard, Hyun Woo.
But why is your expression like that, Doctor Joo?
Take care of it properly today.
At this point, they've probably managed to achieve something.
But, it's obvious they won't reveal it to me.
The kids I sent last time didn't know anything so they brought back nonsense.
Yes. It was data on allergy rhinitis.
This time, I want you to go yourself and verify the data.
Bring back all useful data.
Even if I go, I'm sure there's a password.
Joo Hyun Woo may keep that password from me till the end.
He may do that.
However, we'll have to use whatever means possible to get him to talk.
Don't you think?
Today, you must bring back the correct data.
I understand.
For wronging you, I will use this opportunity to get the data.
What is it? What brings you by, suddenly?
I felt stuffy, so I came out. What of it?
Then you should have gone somewhere fun, not here.
Did you get dumped?
Where else would I go?
- Are you leaving work now? - Yeah.
Then, come somewhere with me.
Why did you want to come here?
It's your birthday next week, so I wanted to buy you a present while I'm at it.
If it's next week, you should buy it then.
What's wrong with buying now? It's up to me.
I thought about it and I haven't done anything for you besides the medication.
What, forget it.
But, out of all the clothing...
Don't stay home all the time.
Go hiking with Doctor Yoo and go on some trips.
You're lacking vitamin D these days.
Just avoid the morning sun.
Looks good.
Hold on... wait.
The fit is just totally like... a model. It fits just like it would a model.
What's the point in saying that?
Everyone already knows anyhow.
Oh... you're slightly annoying. But, you're right.
Oh right! We have to buy one for Doctor Yoo.
Manager, what about women's clothes?
In a vivid color.
Ji Sang, you're lucky.
You always look good in anything. Enjoy it.
[Yoo Ri Ta is in danger.]
- I'll come with you. - It's okay.
You go home. I'll be there soon.
Doctor Yoo! Doctor Yoo!
Chief?
Are you okay? Did anything happen?
I got a text saying that you were in danger.
A text?
- Let's go to my place, for now. - Wait.
I have something to ask you.
You know Min Ga Yeon?
Wait.
- Hello? - Hello Chief.
It's me Joo In Ho. It's been a while, hasn't it?
You...
- What's going on? - It's Joo In Ho.
Your house is very nice.
It's not just your home that's nice. You also have an accomplished researcher.
Ji Sang.
Hyun Woo!
Ji Sang...
I'm sorry.
I gave them all our files and data.
They said they'd kill Doctor Yoo if I didn't.
Ji Sang...
You'll forgive me, right?
Joo In Ho.
Yes?
I don't care if you take all the files. Just leave Hyun Woo alone.
It seems he is a very famous person in academic circles.
He used a nickname all this time so I didn't know.
On top of that, his research on VBT-01 is far more advanced than mine.
Joo In Ho... I told you to leave Hyun Woo alone.
Oh... what should I do?
I have a tendency to get extremely jealous.
Joo In Ho... Joo In Ho!
Hyun Woo.
Hey, stop playing around.
Get up, Hyun Woo...
Hyun Woo? Hey...
Hyun Woo. I'm sorry I'm late.
Hyun Woo.
Hyun Woo... Hyun Woo!
Subtitles by DramaFever
I'm sorry, Hyun Woo.
It's all my fault.
You should get your affairs in order. I'm losing my patience now.
Was the Associate Director taken into custody?
I thought Joo In Ho acted on his own.
But, I heard he acted under your orders.
The price for the success of the research was our lives.
This time, make sure to take care of Yoo Ri Ta properly.
Chief!
