(All characters, locations, organizations, religions,)
(incidents, and groups in this drama are fictional.)
What is this place? Is it an army base?
Why are we here?
This is where Sae Bom is.
Then you should've dropped me off earlier!
I have rice cakes to hand out.
Darn it.
Should I get one for you?
I'll take that.
(Stop)
(Wonjung University Student Dormitories)
Hurry!
No, don't open it!
Make sure all the other vehicles are locked.
And check...
- I need to get Seung Young out. - What?
He was fine a few minutes ago.
Seung Young!
Close it!
Are you okay?
Yi Hyun.
How did you get here?
I'm glad...
I made it in time.
(Happiness)
Open your mouth.
I'm sorry.
I don't even understand why I did that.
I guess I wanted to do something...
because just dying sounded unfair.
Did something happen inside?
When I went in,
all of them...
were totally crazy.
I saw them too.
Sae Bom.
What if I become one of them?
My wife...
and my kids...
I'm disappointed in you.
Ms. Yoon.
Five of my colleagues got infected,
trying to take care of them.
What more can we do?
How did you know a flash grenade would work?
The soldiers wouldn't carry them unless they worked.
They are here to surveil the infected,
not to stop terrorist attacks.
A number of the infected tried to escape the facility once.
That's when we found out.
So you're just locking them up there and waiting for them to die?
What else could we do then?
They are not rational. They are only looking for fresh blood.
Should we give them living humans for every meal?
But they are still alive.
We must hold out somehow.
We are holding out now.
We are protecting patients who show mild symptoms.
And we're isolating patients who show severe symptoms.
Look, Mr. Han.
What if your family was in there?
Let's be honest.
You consider them monsters.
You have no problem shooting them if they come at you.
Do you know what we learned from COVID-19?
What?
The importance of washing hands?
Getting by is more important than...
a few people biting and killing each other.
I'm trying my best to survive this, so I can protect my family.
How much longer will you keep running this operation in secret?
Disclose everything to the public.
And we need to discuss and decide on how to treat the infected.
We will.
The press already got wind of this.
Do it quickly.
Or I'll expose you.
Let's not cross paths if we can help it.
Oh, right.
They are still holding out too.
With everything they got.
(Please use your QR code to check in and pay!)
I can finally breathe again.
I've been saving up dollars in a separate account.
And I already planned my itinerary for my trip.
I can't believe this.
Give me your hand.
Hey, it's almost healed.
This will sting.
Is it okay that I'm the only one who's getting better?
Hey, it's a relief that you're getting better at least.
I'm sure they'll develop medicine and vaccines for this soon.
And I'm sure...
we'll be able to get through this too.
So don't you worry.
Can those people...
come back too?
I hope so.
Hello.
Did you look into the T-shirt?
The large T-shirt.
I was busy today.
I'll bring it next time.
Sae Bom! Mom, she's the SOU officer who lives across the hall.
Hello. Seo Yoon told me how you took care of her.
Thank you.
That place was nice, wasn't it?
Is he your husband?
He's handsome.
(2021 Seyang High School Baseball Team's 50th Anniversary)
Right.
I found it.
Okay.
Are you okay?
It's nothing...
It feels a bit strange to go back to our lives so easily.
Should we do this later?
No, we're doing this so that we can get back to our lives.
Let's do it.
But...
do you think she'd believe that we're getting married?
Of course. She'll think that we're madly in love,
so don't worry.
Here. Chamomile tea.
It'll warm you up.
Do I look okay?
Yes.
Look at me and then answer.
Okay. Let me see.
You look pretty.
Who would think we got married because of an apartment?
Of course, they'd think we like each other.
- You're so... - Sae Bom.
Hello, Mother.
I knew you guys would end up together from the moment I saw you.
I went to school, and you guys were sitting in the ambulance together,
and you looked great together.
Oh, that photo is from that day.
We didn't want to forget where we started.
Sae Bom, there's something I wanted to tell you.
Yes, what is it?
Son, can you excuse yourself? I have to say something to Sae Bom.
Just tell me later. I'll relay the message to her.
Are your upstairs neighbors noisy?
That'll end up causing problems.
Go tell them to be quiet.
What do you want to tell me?
Sae Bom. Thank you so much.
I think Yi Hyun is living a normal life thanks to you.
Mother, Yi Hyun has always been okay.
He's a good kid,
but he gets emotional sometimes.
After he had to quit playing baseball,
he started hanging out with the wrong crowd.
That's why I was planning on immigrating to the US,
but he said he didn't want to go because he couldn't speak English.
I think he likes being a detective.
He can catch bad guys.
It's late, but I was wondering if something happened.
- I'm sorry. - I didn't come to get an apology.
I'm really worried. Are you okay?
Yes.
Hello.
I live downstairs, and it's a bit noisy.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
I couldn't say anything yesterday,
but my wife is sick.
She keeps throwing things and screaming.
Who is she?
She's a manager at my wife's dermatology clinic.
She came here to help as she was worried.
She took some sleeping pills and went to bed,
so it'll be okay soon.
Does she bite or scratch?
No, she doesn't. It just seems like she's sensitive.
We won't be loud again. I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
What's...
the name of the dermatology clinic?
I feel like we should have a wedding.
Who should officiate it?
Well...
Jung Guk?
I guess that makes sense.
But is he good at speaking in front of people?
No.
We could just forgo the officiator.
We could just say, "We'll be happy."
That sounds good.
Seung Young is a great singer.
It would be nice if he got better by then.
Do we need to go on a honeymoon?
Where do you want to go?
Anywhere you've always wanted to go.
What are you going to do if I say I want to go on a buffet tour?
We can't leave until you have at least ten plates a place.
Excuse me. I'm a former baseball player.
I eat an alarming amount of food.
Gosh.
Thinking about food is making me hungry.
Let's go to sleep.
Okay. Good night.
- You too. - Okay.
The number of patients suffering from mad person disease...
where you bite and suck the blood of others is increasing.
However, the government is saying they have not verified...
the nature of this disease...
- and is wary of making statements. - Honey.
- Meanwhile... - Honey.
We don't have that kind of money.
Are we going to just live like this?
What if she ends up collapsing?
Why would you say something so unlucky?
She didn't have any problems until now.
She'll be fine if we help her manage it well.
She already gets discriminated against for living in a rentel.
What if they find out she's sick?
I'm going to visit Sae Bom.
We could say it was to study the language and go quietly.
Nobody will know.
Honey.
Where can I get the money for that?
Sae Bom. It's me, Seo Yoon.
Hello! I have some leftover rice cakes. Want some?
Can I eat some?
Love can face a crisis too.
It must've been a serious crisis.
Where's your husband?
At work.
He had orders from the higher-ups.
(Skin and Hair Dermatology Clinic)
(Park Min Ji, Chief of Dermatology)
- Hello? - Hello.
Is Dr. Park Min Ji in?
Oh, right. Dr. Park has taken the week off.
She can take appointments starting next week.
Did the manager take off too?
The manager? Which manager are you talking about?
She has long hair down to her waist and double eyelids.
Ms. Woo Sang Hee. She took the day off.
There she is. Hold on.
What is this?
Are you going to get a facial?
It's because of the people who live upstairs from us.
Oh, are they noisy?
That could drive people crazy.
Hey. By the way, that car wash?
They want us to stop investigating.
Another team is going to take care of it,
so they want us to stop.
Han Tae Seok?
Are you sure things will be okay?
Are you sure it's not a dangerous disease?
(Ms. Kim Bok Nam)
Hi, Mom.
Are you all right?
You got tested for the mad person disease.
I'm fine.
But I have to be quarantined.
Turn on the TV.
There's a huge fuss.
Is...
someone there?
They're not human.
None of them are.
The clip you just saw...
was sent exclusively to us.
I will repeat.
Our station is the only one to get a copy of this.
An anonymous informant infiltrated a government facility,
took this with his phone, and sent it to us.
- The government... - Are you seeing this?
didn't admit it existed,
and this disease only existed in rumors.
This so-called "mad person disease" actually exists,
causing the infected to bite humans and drink their blood.
The government covered this up...
I'll call you back.
This is the only evidence we have.
The informant sent us this video from their phone,
but we've since lost touch.
Our staff is doing all they can to find out...
what happened to the informant.
Darn it.
What's this?
Will the government ban public gatherings when I just opened?
I want to bite everyone. Send me to a hospital.
You just said you thought it was COVID-19.
It's mad person disease!
Get him off me.
Don't say such dangerous things.
Play nice.
Are you all right now?
Where are you going?
We need to get tested.
I'm going to a hospital.
Darn you...
Then the investigation will get pushed back.
Welcome.
- Have a taste. - Okay.
Do you want one?
Yes.
Do I leave this here?
Bye.
Are you going camping?
They sent out a warning text and no one's hoarding?
We get them all the time now.
We can't react to every single one.
If a few people die and thousands get infected, then maybe.
Do you need this delivered?
- Just the rice and bottled water. - Okay.
(Please cooperate)
(A resident kicked open a door.)
This is me.
What's the matter?
I'm the resident representative. I live in Unit 1202.
I blurred your face for privacy's sake.
From now on, I'd like you to be more careful.
What if a fire broke out and that door was locked?
That door is called...
a firewall and is meant to block flames.
It's to make sure the fire doesn't spread.
What would happen if it were kept open?
The fire would spread.
You can keep the door shut but not blocked or locked.
Then no one can evacuate either.
The decision was made by the fire marshal.
Excuse me.
The fire marshal is someone who works for the company we hired.
Do you mean to say you're following their opinion?
Who are you?
I'm in Unit 401.
Public rental...
You know the doctor in Unit 601, don't you?
She says random visitors are giving her a hard time.
Her husband says...
she's so sick and stressed out, she can't even see patients.
They said that?
After making loud banging noises at night?
Miss.
You can't pinpoint the origin of a sound when it's through walls.
What I'm saying is that you can't be sure who's making the noise.
Stop fighting...
and come to church.
The Lord knows everything.
(How much does Jesus love you?)
The lady from Unit 601 must be having a hard time.
She could get a lot of peace if she were to believe in the Lord.
She has her husband, so I'm sure she'll be fine.
You damaged the steel door,
but I'll make sure you're not held responsible.
I am so grateful.
- This is a lot of stuff. - Thank you.
Hello.
Is your boss still sick?
Yes. She's taking a break for a while...
and told me to get some stuff.
She must be quitting.
You packed all her personal belongings.
What are you doing?
I'm a detective.
I'll ask a few questions. Think carefully before answering.
What is happening...
in that apartment?
Are you sure your wife's okay?
Yes. I'll have her admitted today.
Will you bear with us?
What is this?
Were you bitten?
Did she bite you?
Ma'am!
What are you doing?
You can't barge into my house.
Housebreaking is against the law.
Report me, then.
I'm from downstairs.
- Are you okay? - Don't do that.
Don't knock.
How long has she been like this?
For two days.
She lunges at people.
I was going to...
call a psychiatrist friend of mine.
And her eyes?
The pupils turned white.
They're not like this all the time.
She's quiet.
She could be normal now.
Ma'am.
It's okay.
You can get better.
Your husband is worried about you.
If you come out...
Mister!
Ma'am.
Calm down.
Ma'am.
Emergency services?
I think my wife has mad person disease.
My downstairs neighbor could be in danger.
- Do you want to get out? - Come to Seyang...
I will...
- open... - It's Unit 601 in Building 101.
the door.
No. It's Unit 601 in Building 101.
You're frustrating me. It's Building 101, not Building 102.
Send them over now.
I'm serious. It's an emergency.
You have to hurry!
Someone could be dead!
Please hurry. You have to come here now.
Come on. It's an emergency.
Hurry. Gosh.
Hey.
What... Min Ji.
Min Ji!
- Sae Bom. - What?
Don't go upstairs. Even if you hear any sounds, ignore them.
I'm already upstairs.
I'm all right. But that couple...
Sir! No one is home.
Sir!
Seo Yoon, hurry!
Please help!
Are you okay?
I think so.
That lady...
What's wrong with her?
She's just very angry. You're all right.
Her husband is over there.
Hey.
You live downstairs from us. Right?
Is everyone all right?
Are you all right?
You're lucky I punched you.
You would've been dead if Sae Bom punched you.
Breathe.
Over here.
He must be in shock to see his wife like that.
(Receipt)
You have to see her yourself.
We need a weapon.
No. Not a gas gun. Something stronger.
You're just leaving?
Is that all you're going to do?
We'll disinfect the building as well.
Avoid leaving the house.
And follow the guidelines set by the government.
- Let's go. - We should hurry too.
(Water, toilet paper, shampoo, eggs, rice, marinated beef ribs)
(Apple juice, orange juice, and raspberry juice)
(Order)
(Notice for delayed delivery)
Honey.
Honey?
Honey. Do you know what happened?
You didn't even feed me.
Where were you all day?
Gosh.
- Everyone. - Hey, Dong Hyun.
I assure you that when the stock prices start to go up,
- that means they've been rigged. - Dong Hyun.
You can't start buying...
only stocks of bio-enterprises because of the mad person disease.
Promise me.
Dong Hyun, you know, I was on the sixth floor today.
Mom, can't you see that I'm on my show right now?
Let's talk later.
- Gosh. Hey. - My mom can be dense sometimes.
(The briefing will begin shortly.)
I will share our information on the mad person disease.
The authorities have confirmed that there were patients...
who began biting people...
at the nursing homes and homeless shelters.
And while conducting a thorough analysis on the patients,
we have confirmed that the mad person disease...
is indeed real.
According to our analysis, it is a variant of the virus.
Once infected, they only attack other people...
and try to bite their necks.
And we have confirmed...
that they experience extreme thirst right before their symptoms show up.
(Call 1639 when symptoms appear.)
When you feel any of these symptoms...
or find anyone with these symptoms, please call...
the Central Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters immediately.
(Call 1639 when symptoms appear.)
He's made it to the big league. He's on TV now.
He didn't talk about how they were going to isolate the infected.
The mad person disease alone is shocking.
They'll criticize the government for not developing the medicine...
and ask when it'll be ready for the time being.
They'll focus on that first.
That's not important right now.
Don't go into other people's houses alone.
Tell me before you do that.
I was going to.
I was just going to check if it was the mad person disease...
and call 911 then.
But the lady upstairs...
only went after her husband.
I'm sure there's something going on.
Pushing me wasn't a mistake either.
I'll look into it, and if there's a problem, I'll arrest him.
Okay.
It's nice to have a detective friend.
Of course.
Want to go for a walk?
We haven't left the house together since we moved in.
Are you guys going out?
Yes.
Is something wrong?
I wanted to ask that you keep what happened today a secret.
Don't post it up anywhere...
and don't tell people about it.
A lot of people saw the incident though.
They all live in our apartment.
It's hard for outsiders to get in here.
It'll be okay as long as we are in agreement to keep quiet...
and brush it off as nothing.
You must think that it'll make everything go away then.
Bad rumors don't help the price of our apartment.
Are you thinking about the price of our apartment now?
Aren't you planning on living here for at least the next ten years?
Wouldn't it be better for you to live...
in an expensive apartment?
The resident representative is right.
The world is turned upside-down,
but this place is so peaceful.
I would want to enjoy the pleasures of...
high apartment prices...
and happiness.
Even if that means erasing those who have been infected if necessary.
Thank you for your kind gesture earlier today.
It really hit the spot.
Did they tell you to go home?
My tests results came out so clean...
that they told me to go home and self-quarantine.
Be understanding if it's a bit noisy at night.
You'll be quarantined in prison soon.
Don't worry too much.
Prison?
When I'm done quarantining, you'll be the first person...
I file a complaint against.
You messed with the wrong person.
I'm amazing at filing complaints...
and suing people. I'm the king of it!
I found this in the home of a person who's been infected.
It seems like you took care of the dealers in the car wash too.
You get mad person disease if you take that pill, right?
I doubt you came...
all the way here just to ask me that.
Park Min Ji is here, isn't she?
I'd like to meet her.
Be careful.
Ms. Park?
Shouldn't she be back to normal?
She should...
be dead already.
The disease developed right before she died,
and she's alive right now thanks to the virus.
So when she comes back to normal...
She'll probably die.
The inside of her head is a mess.
It seems like she knows this...
as she's continuously in that state.
It could be because she feels like it's unfair.
She wants to tell the world who killed her.
Ms. Park.
Don't worry.
I will catch...
the person who did this to you.
Darn it.
I know I'm late.
I had a lot to take care of.
Where am I?
If I were to borrow your words,
this is where we keep our guard dogs.
Your friends are behind you, so be careful not to wake them.
An ordinary woman living in an ordinary apartment complex...
developed the disease,
but we found this in her home.
Did you sell this to the people...
at Seyang Forest Le Ciel?
Will you let me go...
if I tell you?
Why do you think you're here?
If...
If you promise to let me live,
I'll tell you everything.
If there's something that you really want,
you don't surrender until you get it.
So...
think about...
what you really want.
Aren't you going to cook?
How long are you going to lay down for?
I don't have energy...
after being so surprised yesterday.
You're so weak.
Goodness.
- I'm going to go out and eat. - Honey.
I want a hamburger.
You should eat rice!
Bread isn't as good as rice!
Goodness.
My gosh.
Hello?
Ms. Park just passed away.
In the end, she didn't even try to come at people.
She just laid there in a daze.
Thank you for telling me.
This is the report from the NFS.
Let's go.
Right now? Will it be okay?
We're not even sure yet.
Don't worry. I know someone who can help us.
Hey, be careful.
If you fail to catch him after this, it'll only cause more trouble!
We're the police.
Excuse us.
Why are you shoving your way into my house?
How can you both be so rude?
Ms. Park Min Ji.
She's dead.
My wife...
She had a tough life.
Hey. What are you after?
Gosh. You cleaned up in the meantime.
I didn't like the smell of blood, and I feared the germs too.
That's why. So what?
By the way,
did you wipe your golf clubs too?
Your wife's skull was smashed in.
Exactly where you hit her with your golf club.
It was self-defense.
She was trying to bite me. What else could I have done?
If not for the mad person disease,
you'd have gotten your way.
- Right? - What?
She should've died...
when you hit her with the club.
But then she got infected...
and just wouldn't die.
If not for that,
you'd have managed to discard her body...
and commit a perfect crime.
A perfect crime? What are you talking about?
This is the NFS report on the blood found on the golf club.
"A swing that requires the full power of a grown man."
"Shards of the occipital bone and brain tissue were found."
"The weapon was swung with intent to kill."
I told you. I was scared.
Her eyes were white, and she rushed at me to bite me.
If you were me, would you...
just let your wife bite you to death?
Do you love her that much?
That's why I checked your court files too.
I was quite impressed.
Illegal medical practices and a revoked license.
You even filed for bankruptcy.
You handed over your clinic to your wife.
You must've thought that...
you could make a comeback if she died.
So what? What are you trying to say?
Dozens of people saw my wife walking around completely normal.
How on earth will you prove...
that I...
killed my wife?
We have a witness.
Sang Hee.
Oh Ju Hyung, you're under arrest for murdering your wife Park Min Ji.
Honey.
Cordon off as planned.
Sir.
Delay it, and more will get sick.
Yes.
(Orange juice)
Can you...
Excuse me.
I decided to get the surgery.
You made up your mind?
Mom's worried about it,
but she's also worried the disease will spread here.
My wounds take a while to heal.
I use antibiotics too.
I said we should pack up now and leave quietly for surgery.
When do you leave?
Mom will take me to get tested once she's back.
That's the guy I saw on TV.
Is he your friend?
No. He's just someone I know.
Why are you here?
The mad person disease is spreading in your complex.
There was one positive case.
Are there more?
I grilled the dealer.
He sold the pills in the basement gym.
He said they would improve concentration and weight loss.
The buyers...
included Park Min Ji from Unit 601.
- Hello. - Hello.
Thank you.
Hello.
Oh, hello. How are you?
I'm good. You?
Me too.
- Take care. - Thank you.
Have a nice day.
(Beom, Senior Personal Trainer)
(Heon, Senior Personal Trainer)
There will be many others like her.
Some will live alone,
hiding the fact that they're infected.
Cases will increase,
then come into the open at once.
Then why are you here?
You need to start investigating.
Would that help...
when there's no cure or vaccine?
Where can we keep all these people,
not knowing when they'll show symptoms?
We can't kill them off either...
like pigs with swine flu.
What will you do, then?
Do you have another option?
There is...
an option.
(Exit)
What are you doing?
What is going on?
Why are you walling us in?
What's all this?
What are they putting up?
Will you do something?
Are we dying?
Fortunately for us,
only residents are allowed to use the gym,
and only half the complex is occupied.
The preschool on the grounds...
isn't open yet either.
You'll cordon off the whole complex?
Until we can secure...
a place and the manpower to handle everyone.
You should inform the residents.
So they can be prepared.
They won't prepare themselves.
They'll escape and spread the disease.
You can leave.
Situations like this always require decisive people.
It's my fault.
When I found out what you were doing in that dormitory,
I should've gone to all the papers and TV stations.
That wouldn't have changed anything.
We must prioritize.
Who is more needed,
and what is more useful.
Am I someone you need?
I decided to live here,
and this is my home.
Whether it's noise pollution or mad person disease,
running away...
isn't my style.
Good luck.
Yes.
Hey, I'm in front of your house.
How can I go back? I came all the way here.
Yes.
I live in this apartment.
Is there something wrong?
If you enter now, you cannot come back out.
What?
What on earth is he talking about?
Hey, which floor are you on?
I'll go in now.
Yi Hyun.
I'm locked inside.
Don't try to fight your way in.
If my mom calls you, tell her I'm fine.
What are you talking about?
Where are you?
I will protect...
the apartment.
Sae Bom.
Explain that to me again. What do you...
Darn it.
Well,
I was going to tell you once I knew...
I thought I was all alone.
Sae Bom, I have to catch him.
It's all right.
No one can get out now.
(Happiness)
Let me get out.
It's very likely that you two were infected.
We don't know...
how things will change out here.
Did you take the drug too?
You know whom you sold them to, right?
No one knows how people will change when they are cornered.
What are you doing?
We can't get out now.
The other buildings took a vote.
Sae Bom, are you all right?
It's blood.
- Come out unless you want to die! - Help me!
It will be over in 72 hours.
