Blood
[Episode 18]
- You're here? - Yeah.
- There's nothing much going on? - No, nothing much.
How is Oh Yoo Shik doing?
We're decreasing the rate of Genofentanyl intake and assessing the jaundice.
Okay.
Good work.
Do you have a cold?
No, I just suddenly had a coughing fit.
There is nothing else is wrong with you?
No, it's just a sudden...
I forgot about the orders you left for patient Park Sun Kil in RF.
I didn't get to medicate him during the day.
[Joo Hyun Woo is in danger.]
The truth is such a heavy burden.
How am I supposed to handle this?
Then, maybe you were better off not knowing.
No, that's not it!
Gosh seriously... I really can't believe this.
But, I'm so scared... how can I look at Chief Park and the Director now?
Just act as you always have.
Do you actually think that they'd bite you or something?
Right! They bite...
Anyways, besides all that...
You haven't forgotten our promise, have you?
Well... what... What promise?
If Chief Park turns out to be a vampire...
you said you'd run back and forth in the ward in your underwear.
You ought to keep your promise.
Hey, hey. That was just a joke.
I said that to be funny. Why are you taking it so seriously?
A promise between a teacher and student shouldn't be taken so lightly!
Hey! Come on now!
I'm disappointed in you, Chief.
Oh my, what are you doing!
- You said take it off and run. - You were really going to do it?
Just imagining it is dirty.
Dirty... me?
- Uncle. - Oh, you came?
- Are you okay? - Of course I am.
- You're not feeling unwell? - No I'm not.
You should go work now. I have a lot of work to do myself.
Tomorrow, you should go with me and get a physical exam.
- I've prepared everything. - Okay, let's do that.
- Go on now. - Okay.
Chairman, the Associate Director is here to see you.
Let her in.
- I'll go now. - Okay.
What brings you by this morning?
It's been a while so I just wanted to see his face.
I'll be going now.
Do you have something to report?
If you have something to report, then do so.
Have there been any patients acting violent or displaying odd symptoms?
No, there haven't.
Since last night, most patients have been in their rooms.
But, they aren't eating their food.
They aren't drinking water either.
How much Atisan do you have left?
I have lots left in liquid state. Why?
Bring whatever is left and come to the hospital right now.
What have you done to the Chairman?
I gave him freedom from his pain.
So, what exactly did you do to him!
You didn't know the Chairman received the vaccine without my permission, did you?
I barely managed to find him and bring him back here.
And I gave him new medicine in order to make sure he would not suffer.
However...
in approximately 72 hours... the Chairman will be dead.
What are you...
I'm giving you the time to organize the situation.
It's better to take action now, rather than after the Chairman's death.
Also, the Chairman will pass away without even realizing that he is dying.
Isn't this enough to give you certainty?
No... this isn't what I wanted.
No, this is the way you can get what you want.
Now, why don't you go ahead and plan things out however you please.
It will be entertaining for me to stand by and watch.
I'm going to admit Uncle into the hospital.
Admit him?
You saw him today, so you know too.
He's not his usual self.
Perhaps, he's just tired.
It's not my personal thought. This is my opinion as a doctor.
Why don't we discuss this with the Chairman first?
No, we won't.
I will make the call on this, so you can stay out of it.
- Ri Ta... - I'll be going now.
Ri Ta.
I know you're still upset with me for not being open with you.
But, please listen to me.
I haven't had anything in my life, but you and the Chairman.
I had no other ill intent or thought.
Why did you leave one out... Taemin?
I hear you've even called for an emergency board of directors meeting.
Now, I finally know... what the most important thing to you is.
Yes?
The Chairman?
Take the syringe and give 30ml of this to each of the patients.
What is this?
Give it to them for now. It's nothing bad.
Let's go.
Chief, what's going on?
- You help out too. - Okay.
It's weird.
I'm constantly hungry for something, but I don't know what for.
It's not rice or pizza.
And I feel like I can hear my heart beating... really loud.
You'll be better soon. Don't worry.
How is he?
His vitals are unstable, but he's not in danger yet.
He requires a thorough examination.
He will be under my care, all examinations... everything.
Why don't you leave it in the hands of the proper department doctors?
I'm sure you're very busy too.
Of course I will.
I'm just saying I will stay by his side.
She's his family and guardian, so of course she should be here.
I'm not objecting to that, but speaking as a doctor...
Speaking as a doctor, someone being there could get in the way.
And, it would only be painful for you.
Ri Ta, why don't you do as the Director says?
You should just leave him be.
I told you clearly, did I not?
I told you not to give the vaccine to my uncle.
It wasn't me who vaccinated him.
Your uncle got it without my permission.
What?
Who was it that vaccinated him without your permission?
Manager Joo In Ho.
He has taken responsibility and has been let go.
Until the very end, I opposed giving the vaccine to the Chairman.
Don't lie to me.
You really are frustrating. Even when I tell you the truth...
He wouldn't be this way with the vaccine alone.
What exactly was he given?
Every person...
Every person reacts differently...
No matter what, I will get you back for this.
Ri Ta, just calm down a bit...
You knew everything, didn't you? You kept it hidden again?
Both of you, get out.
Only the patient's guardian will be allowed in here.
Okay.
We'll do it your way, Doctor Yoo.
You leave too, Associate Director.
How can people behave that way?
If you leave them like that... won't they find out everything?
Does that question mean that you and I are in the same boat?
Thank you for being on my side.
These days, it's hard to find someone who's truly on my side.
Please answer my question.
The substance that I injected? It will be very difficult to find.
Even figuring out what it is will take a long time.
And even if they do figure it out, what can they do about it?
All you need to do is just stand behind me and hide.
So, you've injected everyone with Atisan?
Yes, everyone.
They should be okay in the meanwhile, but they will develop resistance soon.
The adverse effects are progressing very quickly.
At this rate, our research won't be able to keep up.
This is probably why the Director continued to fail all this time.
So, my uncle will start getting the same adverse effects too, won't he?
Since we're not sure, give him Atisan in the evening.
Why in the world...
He didn't even know what it was.
You just need to focus on the Chairman for now.
Hyun Woo and I will focus on ward 21A.
Uncle, are you awake?
Where am I?
We're at our hospital. You fainted so we came here.
I fainted?
I don't remember that.
If you just rest and stabilize, you'll get better.
Chae Yeon...
Yes Uncle.
You know that I love you very much, right?
The Chairman's blood work results are complete.
Oh yeah?
Let's see now...
The vaccine's ingredients seem to be the same.
There are two additional components.
I'm a layman when it comes to biochemistry, so it's hard to identify them.
I have no clue as well.
Joo Hyun Woo, have you seen this before?
It's a molecular structure I've never seen.
It does have some kind of complexity.
Did you get the results from his blood work?
Oh, it looks like it'll take some time.
How is the Chairman doing?
He was awake for a brief moment before.
Although it was brief...
I see.
He says he keeps having these dreams.
Dreams with my parents and a younger version of me.
But, it felt a little strange.
What was?
In the past few days, Uncle acted so detached and he felt like a stranger to me.
But, when he was awake just now...
he was like how he was when I was about seven or eight years old.
The uncle at the end of my memory lane.
I think I need to drop by my place.
I'm sleeping here from now on, but I don't have a change of clothes.
Let's go. Together.
[Vampire 100 Q&A]
[Q99. If you could be born again, do you want to be human?]
[Q100. If you can die, before you...]
It wasn't me who vaccinated him.
Your uncle got it without my permission.
I'm going back to my place now.
Just in case, take some defense equipment to protect yourself.
I'll talk to Hyun Woo about it.
You should go.
Up until recently, you used to smile from time to time.
But, now I don't see you smiling at all.
I guess it could be that there's nothing to smile about.
What brings you by today?
I wanted to ask you about two things.
First is Chairman Yoo Suk Joo.
Yes, he will die soon. He is no longer on our side. Next question.
Next question.
The patients in 21A have symptoms beyond side effects. It's more like they're infected.
What in the world are you trying to do?
The nuance of your words aren't exactly friendly.
I feel I'm being attacked.
I'm sorry.
Park Ji Sang will come up with some sort of solution. He and I came to an agreement.
Are you saying Park Ji Sang will now do the New Drug Team's work?
Well, it ended up being that way.
He's quite concerned about the patients.
You used the patients as pawns to get Park Ji Sang to take over the work?
- Min Ga Yeon. - It's okay.
There isn't a better way to describe it.
But, we're no longer dealing with side effects.
- The situation can get far worse... - If it doesn't work, then we can quit.
Just like we did all along.
There's nothing special about this time. Why make a big deal?
I, too, wanted this study to be our last experiment. And I was determined to make it so.
However, the last time can always be changed.
I understand.
Just as I did before, I'll accept it with ease.
What are you injecting?
Oh... it's an analgesic.
Oh, is it? After this injection, you should go home, Chae Yeon.
Why aren't you calling me Ri Ta?
Ri Ta?
Ri Ta.
Oh, Ri Ta.
That's right.
Call me whatever you're comfortable with.
And starting today, I'm going to sleep here.
That's okay. Go home and sleep.
I don't want to.
I think it's been almost 20 years since I slept next to you.
Was it when I was in grade seven?
I had a really scary dream so I slept right next to you.
You did? My memory is hazy.
But, Uncle...
Do you know you've returned to your warm self the last few days?
Just like the way you used to be in the past.
What was I like recently?
That's right.
Because of my illness, I got angry at you. And at the Associate Director too.
What is it?
Oh, it's nothing.
And J?
I cremated his body.
I guess there won't even be a handful of ashes left when we die as well.
Without anyone knowing who we really were.
When I first found out that Doctor Lee had saved me...
I was genuinely happy.
Weren't you happy?
I was happy too.
After agreeing to fight in an illegal boxing match for money to be used for brain surgery...
the boxer gets caught and gets beaten up to the point he's in coma.
As for J, who had to live with a heinous face thanks to a rare disease
only to end up in coma after his attempt to end his life.
We were poor souls without any money or hope.
Back then, I really liked Doctor Lee.
Lately, he's a bit like a stranger.
I just wanted to complain a little.
- I'll get going now. - Ga Yeon.
You aren't the only one having a hard time.
Just know that.
Chief.
Why are you here at this hour?
Oh, I dropped by on my way out.
- To see if anyone was here. - Oh, okay.
After Byung Soo passed, you don't come here often, do you?
I'm okay about it, but that is probably true for others.
Anyway, where did you go this late?
Oh, a friend was here to see me.
I see. It's good to meet up with a friend occasionally.
Yes.
Do you... still like me and respect me?
Of course. And that won't change.
- Min Ga Yeon. - Yes?
Make sure that you really don't change.
Not just regarding your thoughts about me...l
But, regarding all your good thoughts you have for others and this world.
Yes, Chief.
Get back to work.
Wow, this is driving me insane.
After a few hours, I can figure out most of the things.
Still struggling?
Didn't you tell me to find it in two days?
Maybe it's a new substance?
If it was, it would be easier to detect.
As soon as they are released, they get saved in my DB.
According to its molecular formula
I'm sure it's an anesthetic or paralytic substance.
And the other one seems to be toxic.
Perhaps the anesthetic substance is for masking the toxicity.
That's my hypothesis, but we need the results to confirm it.
How were Chairman's CT or MRI scans?
Oh, I guess nothing out of the ordinary.
Apparently, his muscle rigidity is actually lower now.
Huh, that is odd...
Oh, right. Make sure to spray Sonein everywhere tomorrow.
And then walk around all over the hospital. See who starts coughing.
You can start today.
- Oh why did I get chosen? - You look like you don't need much sleep.
Min Ga Yeon... Make sure that you really don't change.
Not just regarding your thought about me...
But, regarding all your good thoughts you have for others and this world.
If the research results aren't good enough...
what should we do?
Are you also half in doubt?
That's not what I meant.
Haven't I always prepared for what-if's?
If the results aren't good enough...
Do we need to leave after getting rid of all the research subjects?
Well, isn't this what we anticipated?
Doctor Yoo Ri Ta is still too young.
Then the group's successor is obviously you, Associate Director Choi, isn't it?
You've been the Chairman's right hand person for so long.
And the very person who revived Taemin.
You're being too kind. But, thank you, Managing Director.
But, getting the majority support from the shareholders is probably another matter.
I'm sure that's the case.
However if Chairman himself appoints his successor
I don't think the shareholders will be able to say much.
Since most of them are quite trusting of the Chairman.
- Chairman. - Talk.
- Why aren't you saying anything? - About what?
Are you really asking?
I've left you alone like this.
And while you're away, I'm planning to call a board meeting.
What about it?
Are you doing this on purpose?
No.
I'm just thinking what those things mean to me.
'I lived my life this way for those things?'
Just having thoughts like that.
Please speak as your true self.
As you did for the past 20 years, be tough and cold towards me.
Chairman.
You know we've committed a grave wrong, right?
Strangely, all my memories are all hazy...
except for that memory. It's so clear.
The words we exchanged that day.
And even what clothes we were wearing. Every detail.
Why are you bringing that up?
We both should not forget.
I asked you to come today to give you an update on my research progress.
Going by the suddenness of this meeting, I'm guessing you had some success?
Yup! Eureka. We transferred on to the right bus.
What is it? Tell us, hurry, please.
As it was for VTH-16, and Chief's blood analysis
we've been completely focused on the virus within the blood cells.
Resulting in us overlooking the stem cells, which make up the root and the trunk of it all.
In other words, we need to conquer the modified stem cells themselves?
- Is that right? - Yes, it is.
It can't be solved by just conquering the blood plasmas or other cells.
Then we just need to completely replace Chief Park's stem cells, no?
That's the basic idea, but it's not as easy as it sounds.
The opponent is, after all, VBT-01.
We can approach with a targeted chemotherapy for stem cells.
It's definitely something Hyun Woo and I haven't thought of.
Anyways, by grafting anti-cancer drug with VTH-16...
creating a customized anti-cancer drug is probably the best approach.
Never mind about the risks, but I bet the likelihood of success is slim?
Yes, but it's most definitely worth a try.
Tiniumbenubital and Agent#5.
What the heck is this?
First, Tiniumbenubital.
It's used to treat nervous prostration and sleep disorders.
But, also used for lethal injections in some states in the US.
And intelligence agencies have used it during tortures.
Then is it similar to Pentobarbital?
Yes, but this drug had too many side effects so its usage got banned.
What kind of side effects?
Extreme hallucinations and nervous breakdowns.
And serious damages to neurons.
The headaches are caused by the damaged neurons.
Then what is Agent#5?
It's a paralytic drug once used by the Russian spies during the Cold War.
This, you can actually control its duration with its dosage. One to five days.
Then why were these two substances injected to Chairman?
Why do you think? It's to kill him slowly.
But, Ji Sang, considering the dosage and its progress...
Chairman won't last more than two days.
What did you say?
As of now, there is no hope.
- There's no way to undo the effects? - No, it's too late.
Not only the two substances...
it also had high level of stimulant so it probably spread to cerebral arteries.
But, the really cruel thing?
Agent#5 is the what causes acute pains.
To numb that pain, Tiniumbenubital was injected.
If this was really the Director's doing, he's truly the devil.
What's your reason for doing that to the Chairman?
I see that your analysis must be complete now.
He's the person who helped you with your ridiculous plans.
Yes, he did.
If he did, then why!
Well it's an obvious reason. He broke my trust.
Trust?
Since when did you care so much about trust?
Not a comprehensive trust that includes all, but trust specific towards me.
So if they don't trust you, will you kill them all?
Of course I will.
Anyone who breaks my trust will soon become my enemy.
Actually, I have more trust for people who hate me.
At least, those people aren't full of pretense.
So, it makes me to happy to converse with them.
Don't be too happy when you're looking at me.
What can I do?
Conversing with you makes me most happy, Chief.
By the way, you...
Didn't I tell you to do research to save the patients? What are you doing?
If I see you being lazy once more, it's all over.
Everything...
Is that true?
Why would he inject something like that? Why?
Is there no way to save him?
Sorry, Doctor Yoo.
Hyun Woo and I put our heads together.
But at his current state, there's no way.
Director Lee Jae Wook...
I know that you're so angry that you can't endure it.
I understand it completely.
But, remember what you said to me many times.
In times like this, you have to remain cool-headed.
Then, do we just let the Director get away with it?
For now, we have to make sure he doesn't run away and keep him within our target range.
Right now, we're tied down because of the ward 21A patients.
But, once we solve this...
I'll get rid of the Director with my own hands.
Along with all the pain that we've had to endure.
Endure it just a little bit.
I'll take care of everything... this entire situation and the Director.
You can trust me, right?
Chief.
When you found out that the Director killed your parents...
I guess this is how you felt.
Oh, Lee Sung Kyun. Is the Director is the operating room?
Oh, okay.
When you found out that the Director killed your parents...
I guess this is how you felt.
You're wilder than I thought.
I'm going to kill you!
If I were that easy to kill, I'd be dead already.
Let go of that hand.
- Stop it. - Let go of me.
- He can't live! - Please calm down!
I'll excuse myself now.
I'll give the two of you time to calm down.
What would you have done if something had gone wrong?
How many times do I have to tell you? You're opponent is not human.
And if he had really died, how would you explain that situation?
You killed him because he's infected? Because he cruelly killed people?
You have no evidence.
How can I just let him get away with it?
If you get blood on your hands, you'll be a monster like he is.
I won't let that happen.
You said that you'd kill him too, someday.
That's right, but not like this.
Then, how will you kill him?
I'm going to make him truly regret it.
Everything he's done...
- Is something wrong? - No.
I didn't call you because I'm sick.
- Then, why? - Just because.
You did good.
It's been a while since you've taken out your rosary beads.
Yes. I was thinking about Sister Sylvia.
Now that she's gone...
I don't she was wrong about anything she said.
Of course.
She's someone who was like a chair for me and helped me to breathe again.
Yes, she was.
I'm not fit to be a chair for you.
What should I be for you?
All you need to do is be here... right next to me.
Chae Yeon.
Do you perhaps...
have some time, right now?
Time?
Can you go somewhere?
The door is now open.
Listen carefully to what I'm about to say Manager Choi...
Yes, Sir.
That forest has almost no people in it, so it will work.
Should we just scare them?
No, get rid of them.
And clean up everything afterwards.
Yes, I will find someone who we can trust to get the job done.
But, what about Chae Yeon?
Sir?
Let me just ask you one thing.
Aunt asked you, didn't she? What you wanted to do with me...
What was your answer, Uncle?
Answer me... now.
If I had been there...
would I have been killed too?
I said, answer me now!
I'm sorry, Chae Yeon.
I'm so sorry.
I deserve to die for my sins.
How could you, Uncle...
do this to Mom, Dad... and to me?
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Why did you do it?
You were a great older brother to my Dad.
You were the best uncle to me.
Your grandfather considered me to be his heir.
But, once he found out I was ill... he changed his mind.
And he chose your father, instead.
I could have done better... than anyone else.
But because of that...
your grandfather refused to give me any recognition.
It was his illness that he passed down to me.
Yet, until the very end, he looked down on me...
and he alienated me.
At that time, I thought this to myself.
That I had my spot stolen from me.
Is that your reason for killing my mom and dad?
In order to get back what was yours?
I'm going to ask you one more time.
Please just lie to me.
Were you really going to kill me too?
Really?
Chae Yeon...
You have to believe this one thing.
While raising you and watching you grow up...
I was very happy.
I truly loved you.
Truly...
Why did you call me here?
There's something you have to do for me.
Kill... Doctor Yoo Ri Ta.
What?
It's simple.
Go to her house in the evening and kill her.
Why kill Doctor Yoo Ri Ta, all of a sudden?
I held back for a long time.
The Chairman will be leaving soon, so it'll be good for them to go together.
Why must I kill her?
If you go to her house, she'll open the door without question.
At least she can die without fear or anxiety.
That's a form of consideration for her.
What do I do now? What should I do?
I don't think I can have any hope in my life now.
Even if something good happens in my life...
How am I supposed to look at Uncle's face or Aunt's face now?
He should have denied it till the very end.
Uncle says he loved me... truly.
Perhaps...
Because of the guilt he felt, it made him that way.
It made him raise you better and love you more.
I have to go back and take this up with him again.
Not while I'm crying my eyes out like before...
This time, I'll make him get on his knees and beg for forgiveness.
Doctor Yoo.
