MOTEL
The DMZ Virus
which is believed to have been first detected in the DMZ,
a symbol of the ceasefire between North and South Korea,
still has no identifiable cause ten months later.
It has been 19 days since Dr. Jung and his daughter have disappeared
while on their way to North Korea, but their whereabouts are still unknown.
Dr. Jung is famous
for drawing the attention of academics worldwide
by curing his daughter of the DMZ Virus.
Dr. Jung had been en route to the Sinuiju Chemical Weapons Institute
in order to mass produce
the antibody treatment, as agreed upon by North and South Korea,
when he disappeared along with his daughter.
Some organizations accused
the South Korean government of putting on a show
in order to cripple the North Korean infrastructure
and warned that demonstrations demanding the whereabouts of Dr. Jung
and his daughter and their return to North Korea
would take place nationwide.
Opposing organizations heavily criticized them, labeling them
as pro-North Korean, working for the North Korean government,
and warned of a counter demonstration.
The police are on high alert to keep the situation from becoming violent--
Carter.
Carter, are you okay?
Where is this place?
What is it that you're looking at?
-You're Korean? -Is that what's important right now?
-Listen to me if you want to live. -Help me!
These bastards are insane!
Don't worry about the people there, just get out of that building quickly.
Who are you?
Me?
What, are we introducing ourselves here?
Not you.
When they arrive, you'll die before I can answer your questions.
Who are "they"?
Why don't you tell me who you are first!
CIA.
"CIA"?
The CIA? Are you here to save me?
I thought I was a goner.
Are we sure we got the right guy?
What are you doing?
Kill these sons of bitches!
No, that's not me.
-Over there! -Kill him!
Over there!
-He's going down! -Get him!
The market is right in front of you. Go in that direction.
The other side! Go out the other side of the market and turn left.
Someone's on my tail.
Fifty meters in front of you, you'll see a Papa John's motorcycle.
Use it to escape.
Carter. Go to the back door of the clothing shop.
Call the police!
-What are you doing? -Hurry…
Call them.
Hello?
I'm at a clothing shop. A strange man is in the shop…
You'll find a staircase at the end of the left passage.
Go upstairs.
How do you know all this?
I can access security cameras and blind spots
with your earpiece that can detect heat signatures in your 50-meter radius.
Carter!
A target with a CIA frequency is approaching.
Kill him and secure his device.
The CIA is all over the place. You must hide.
Secure the device on his wrist.
We're going to backtrace their hideout.
"Backtrace"?
There's a car approaching at the end of the alley.
Get in the car and hand over the device.
Tell me why I'm being chased by the CIA.
A lethal bomb was placed inside your mouth with a blast radius of ten meters.
If you refuse to work with us, it will be activated.
Plate number 4566.
You'll get answers once you get in the car.
Why would I get in that car?
Tell me now.
Then you give us no choice.
You must be killed.
The detonator is in my hand.
The car is approaching. Move quickly.
DAEHAN TAEKWONDO
Drive!
Where is the device?
-Hack it. -Yes, I'll start tracing them.
I'm Choi Yu-jin, NIS agent of the North Korea Strategy Team.
Are you on the same side as the woman who's talking in my ear?
I'm Han Jung Hee of Foreign Liasons, Workers' Party of North Korea.
We are currently working with South Korea to create a treatment for the DMZ Virus.
These are North Koreans who have been infected by the DMZ Virus.
The infected are overwhelmingly strong and violent,
and some have been discovered to be able to use weapons.
All of South Korea's army is at the DMZ holding off the infected North Koreans,
but every day is precarious.
In North Korea, we have secured
a hundred million anthrax vaccines needed to produce the treatment,
along with a large-scale assembly line,
so that Dr. Jung's research can be carried out smoothly.
Therefore, we tried to bring
Dr. Jung and his daughter, Jung Ha-na, to the North to complete the project.
"His daughter"?
Dr. Jung's daughter got infected through a field rat while living in Paju.
After successfully treating his daughter,
Dr. Jung was researching a treatment method using her antibodies.
But, due to an abnormal increase in thromboplastin,
an enzyme that coagulates blood once it leaves the body,
her antibodies were destroyed in one minute.
Therefore, we were going to the Sinuiju Institute
to get Ha-na's blood ourselves.
However, Ha-na was kidnapped
by an agent from A9, a secret organization in the CIA, on her way to North Korea.
Your mission is to find Ha-na and bring her to North Korea.
And you're the one who suggested this mission.
Why would I?
You commanded us to block the memory center in your brain.
Am I your commanding officer?
You'll return to your position after the mission is finished.
Why would I remove my memories and position for this?
You used to be a CIA agent from South Korea,
but you disguised yourself as a reporter and entered North Korea,
becoming a hero to our people.
However, the North Korean government was suspicious that you were an American spy
and assigned a woman to keep a close eye on you.
The two of you fell in love,
even got married and had a daughter.
Me, with this woman?
But your wife died from the DMZ Virus,
and your daughter, Yoon Hee, also got infected
and is now imprisoned in the Sinuiju Institute.
This is a good shot.
Look over here.
Yoon Hee.
Yoon Hee!
Dad?
Dad...
The scar on the back of your hand is from the burn that you got back then.
The weapons you need for the infiltration are in this bag.
Now, you can follow Jung Hee's directions again.
You need to save Ha-na
in order for your daughter Lee Yoon Hee to live.
Go to the rooftop of this building.
Ha-na is being held in the building across from this one.
Check the weapons in the bag and put them on.
We must move Ha-na today in order to save your daughter.
She doesn't have much time left.
A majority of the infected people did not make it past 13 days.
It's been 13 days since your daughter has been infected.
How do I know that child is really my daughter?
When you get your memory back
and remember your daughter, who is no more,
who will you blame?
Go through the door to your right and move to the edge of the rooftop.
I've hacked the CIA agents' communication channels.
I'm getting their whereabouts now.
The agents are gathered where you were held. Now is the chance.
FLORAL SUPPLIES WHOLESALE MARKET
The elevator control room is through the door in front of you.
Move toward it.
I'm detecting heat signatures of one adult
near the elevator on the ninth floor and two on the seventh.
This mall's been out of business.
The perfect place for the CIA's temporary base.
The agents sent to the motel are on their way back. Hurry!
-Where is Ha-na? -I'm detecting the heat signature.
She's detected on the sixth floor.
Ha-na will be in the playroom once you go through the emergency exit.
I'm detecting a target near the entrance.
EMERGENCY EXIT
Who are you?
Don't come any closer! Don't come near me!
Ha-na? You're Ha-na, right?
-I am-- -I said, don't come near me!
What am I supposed to do?
Hand her the phone.
Here, answer it.
I'll stay where I am. Okay?
Hello?
Dad? Dad, where are you?
Okay.
Yes.
Can I trust this man?
Okay.
Okay, I'll do that.
Okay.
Are you all right?
-Yes. -Let's go to your dad.
How do we get out of here?
Carter! I'm cutting off communication
and using the signal in your molar as a decoy.
Just open your mouth.
The molar will blow up in five seconds.
Get on my back.
Hold on to me tightly.
Ha-na!
-Mister! -Ha-na, hang on!
Mister!
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Are you all right?
What are you doing? This is my work van--
Repatriate Dr. Jung to North Korea!
Repatriate!
We know the US is behind all this!
We know!
Repatriate Dr. Jung to North Korea!
Repatriate!
We know the US is behind all this!
We know!
-Repatriate Dr. Jung to North Korea! -Repatriate!
Ha-na, what's wrong?
-We know the US is behind all this! -We know!
Ha-na!
Dad.
Dad!
Ha-na.
Do you know how much I worried about you?
Where have you been?
Ha-na. What's wrong?
My dad is over there…
But that's not me. He's with some other kid…
Repatriate!
Why are people wearing a mask of me and my dad?
It's because they all want you and your father to be safe.
Should we put them on too?
Repatriate!
We bring you breaking news.
Dr. Jung, who has been missing until now, has been confirmed to be in Sinuiju.
We've just received a video showing Dr. Jung himself.
Let us take a look.
Hello. I am Jung Byeong-ho.
I have arrived safely at Sinuiju,
thanks to the North and South Korean governments.
I have also spoken to my daughter on the phone moments ago
and plan to start developing a vaccine right away
as soon as I arrive at the Sinuiju Institute.
And I am aware of the rumors that say the South Korean government
is attempting to destroy the North.
However, this is not true.
Please do not be misled.
That was a video of Dr. Jung sent from Sinuiju.
We will be reporting more details in our regularly-scheduled news.
Thank you.
Carter, why did you stop?
Ha-na is a little tired.
I'm fine--
The van is approaching across the street. Hurry.
What?
Carter is moving towards the bus with Ha-na!
Carter. Where are you going?
Follow my instructions.
I'm detecting the movements of CIA agents nearby.
Carter! Why are you getting on a bus all of a sudden?
Get off the bus! Follow my instructions, Carter!
I think the CIA has caught on to your van.
If you act so impulsively, you and your daughter will be in danger…
You still can't get a signal to Carter?
Someone's disrupting our channel.
First, let me identify the woman who approached Carter.
The South is manipulating the traffic lights.
The bus will stop 50 meters ahead for one minute.
-Then we will be in range for the shot. -Take her down.
It's not too late to do that after we identify her.
Fire!
Hurry! Call an ambulance!
She got shot!
Please call an ambulance!
Mister!
Hold on tight!
No, don't!
Please help me!
-Mister! -Ha-na!
An emergency military airstrip is at the end of the road.
A plane is waiting there to take you to North Korea.
My name is Kim Dong-gyu, Director of North Korea Strategy Team at the NIS.
I am responsible for getting you to North Korea safely.
We opened a communications channel in the South as well.
Thank you.
Jung Hee?
I don't think he trusts me.
Director Kim will be ensuring your safety during the flight.
Let's get on the plane.
The reporters will ask you questions.
Don't say anything.
Don't make eye contact. Just look straight ahead.
Even your slightest movements may put this country
and Dr. Jung in danger.
Who was responsible for the shoot-out on your way here?
Is it true that Ha-na's…
A group of American reporters will be on board.
There'll be reporters on board?
That way, the entire world will be watching,
and even the US government won't act so recklessly.
Please understand, this was a choice to ensure a safe flight.
Goodness, you shouldn't smoke with a child on board.
Hey, no need to be so uptight.
You will be staying here while we're flying to North Korea.
Come this way.
Oh, you must be Ha-na.
Ha-na.
Come on.
Let us tend to your injuries first.
TREATMENT ROOM
Welcome.
Please, take off your jacket so we can begin treatment.
You can sit next to him. The plane will be taking off soon.
You can go ahead and change when the treatment is done.
Start now.
Don't worry. It won't hurt anymore.
Mister, are you okay?
I'm okay.
Are you okay?
I'm okay too.
Why is your hand like that?
I can't remember.
I think I got it while playing with my daughter.
Aren't you remembering now?
When I look at this scar,
it's like I can hear a child crying.
She might not make it through today.
My supposed daughter.
What's your daughter's name?
Yoon Hee.
"Yoon Hee."
It'll be okay, because I'm here.
I'm the vaccine, right? A human vaccine.
All right, the treatment is done.
Thank you.
Why don't you get changed now?
Ha-na, you should change too after Mr. Carter is done.
Once you arrive in North Korea, your mission will be finished.
I hope that the vaccine will be completed so your child can be cured.
Did I really choose this mission in order to save my daughter?
You'll get an answer to that question once your mission is complete.
Until then, don't let down your guard.
Remember that
there may even be those on this plane that are after Ha-na.
Didn't you say that the US can't interfere anymore?
We have reason to believe
that the CIA may have ordered other forces to move on Ha-na.
Even North Korean personnel wanting to start a coup may be involved.
The CIA contacting the spy organization makes sense,
but what do you mean by a coup within North Korea?
We suspect that those who want the current regime to collapse
may have spread the DMZ Virus.
Until Ha-na is safely reunited with Dr. Jung,
be suspicious of everyone.
Even me.
What's going on?
Don't worry. I'll go investigate.
-What's going on? -We've lost contact with the cockpit.
What?
Director Kim, what's going on?
Send a medic, quickly!
What happened?
All they did was drink coffee, but they suddenly collapsed.
Coffee?
It wasn't me.
I only brought them the coffee.
No! Then who will pilot the plane?
His eyes are already bloodshot.
If it's a mutated variant, this plane is going down in ten minutes.
What are you doing?
Director Kim tried to kill Comrade Pilot and Comrade Assistant Pilot.
If we don't kill them, we'll all die!
Everybody, calm down.
Checking if they're infected is priority! Medic!
How does it look?
The thing is,
the level is not high enough to be an infection in normal situations,
but considering the cabin's altitude and pressure,
it's technically an infection.
So, are they infected or not?
I need more time to observe.
We need five more minutes to get a proper reading.
Why does it matter if we kill them now or five minutes later?
His hair roots are still strong.
Don't you know that it's too late once the hair falls out?
The protocol states reading times must be observed.
We'll kill them immediately if any signs show during the time.
Open the blinds in the cabin!
The blinds aren't working.
Why is the medical room emergency light turned off?
Get out of my way.
Move.
Carter. Only you can hear what I'm saying.
I sense heat signatures in cargo of what appear to be an adult and Ha-na.
-The cargo? -Go over there, quickly.
This is why South Korean bastards…
Ha-na!
CARGO COMPARTMENT
CABIN
Ha-na. Are you all right? Who did this to you?
Why are you doing this?
It looks like you really don't remember anything.
-What? -Yeah.
If you don't remember anything,
at least you'll be at peace when you die, right?
Carter.
Director Kim.
Why are you doing this?
Ri Cheol Ju, you son of a bitch!
-Ha-na, are you all right? -Yes.
Don't move!
Who is it? Who's the head of the coup in the North?
Who created this virus and spread it?
Do you really think North Korea made this whole mess
just to die when we don't even have a vaccine?
Have you ever thought that
maybe South Korea is behind the coup in Pyongyang?
I suppose you're also
just another small piece of it to make this show more interesting.
Stop talking bullshit and answer me truthfully.
Who is it?
Lee Dong Jin?
Han Sun Ho?
Kim Jong Hyeok?
Director Kim.
You're killing me here.
Are you really trying to explain to me some old stereotypical idea
that I need to be loyal to North Korea because I'm from North Korea?
Do you think there's only one spy like him in the North?
Ri Cheol Ju, you bastard!
Are you working with the Americans?
Listen to me carefully.
Up in the North,
they call South Korea an American colony.
But, the thing is,
after having met these Americans,
it looks like maybe sucking up to them
is well worth it.
America.
Freedom and equality.
A big land of opportunity and wealth.
So!
Even if I only live for a day,
I'm going to live free, like a human being!
That's what I mean.
You son of a bitch!
Ha-na, get out of here.
Mister.
Go and get help. Quickly!
What's going on here?
Wasn't that an explosion?
-The door to the cockpit is not opening. -What?
Ha-na!
-Ha-na. Are you all right? -Why did you just come out of there?
You were in the cargo hold all along?
What were you doing in there?
Director Kim went downstairs over that way. Didn't you meet him?
He's dead.
The North Korean guy…
killed him.
Just what are you people trying to pull?
We know nothing about this!
Who? Who killed Director Kim?
Could you identify them by their face?
It's okay.
That man!
Did you kill Director Kim?
Answer the question!
Yes.
I killed him.
But Director Kim was a spy that the CIA planted on this plane.
He was trying to escape with Ha-na.
So I killed him.
I knew those South Korean bastards would do this!
Those bastards! They're working with the CIA!
Do you really believe this bastard?
Ha-na, is it true?
Did Director Kim try to kidnap you?
Oh, yes, Comrade Sun Hwa.
Are you all right?
How are Comrade Pilot and Assistant Pilot?
They're
fine.
Hey, this is so exciting.
Look at you, struggling to save yourself.
I feel like I'll piss myself just looking at you.
I guess even the hero of our people is human after all when faced with death.
Get ready!
Moving to an estimated landing point at 40 degrees and 124 degrees.
-Ha-na, are you all right? -Yes.
Kill the man and catch the girl alive!
-Somebody is on my tail! -They're probably working with Cheol Ju.
Carter, are you all right? Answer me, Carter!
Ha-na, grab the steering wheel!
Okay.
Shoot the wheel!
Shit!
I'm out of bullets!
I'll get closer!
Move the car closer! More!
Where do I go now?
If you follow the valley down about 200 meters,
there will be a cliff and a rope bridge.
We are moving to the opposite side right now.
The mission will be complete once you get there.
Mister.
Here.
Let's go.
-Be careful, it's slippery. -Okay.
Get on my back.
I can go across by myself.
Hug my neck and clasp your hands together! Don't ever let go!
Carter!
Are you okay?
Are you Han Jung Hee?
Ha-na, are you okay?
So you're Ha-na. You've come a long way.
Thank you for your efforts. We can leave together now.
What do you mean, leave together?
This is truly incredible.
Congratulations.
I didn't think you would have any love for a child
from a woman you met while working as a spy.
I applaud your courage in risking your life
for your daughter.
Who are you?
Oh.
I'm Kim Jong Hyeok.
You know, after observing what you've done,
you don't seem like someone who has lost his memory.
Stop laughing and give me my memory back.
Sit down here.
Once the device implanted in your ear is removed,
you will get your memory back.
Trust me.
I'm going to open the stitches. This will hurt a bit.
Mister!
What are you doing? Comrade Lieutenant General!
Get up!
-No! -Mister!
Mister!
Where are you taking Carter?
Look here, Han Jung Hee.
Don't make a scene. Stand down.
You promised!
You said that we could leave this country after the mission was finished.
That promise was between you and the government.
I have never made such a promise.
What are you saying?
Get her in the car.
Let go of me. Let go!
Let go!
What do you think you're doing?
Love.
I always feel so sad when I hear that word.
What is it to be so cruel?
Who knew that comrade Han Jung Hee,
the most competent female comrade in North Korea,
would be struggling in the gutters, huh?
Stop beating around the bush.
I knew it from the moment the virus began to spread.
This rotten country,
those South Korean bastards who only think about money,
and even those arrogant American imperialist bastards.
They can all be destroyed single-handedly.
This is a chance from the heavens that will never come again.
Are you
the head of the coup?
Comrade Han.
Let's create a new world together.
Hey, the bastard's awake.
You American traitor.
Are you finally awake?
Where are you taking me?
Keep your mouth shut and your wife will make the decision.
"Wife"?
If you had never appeared,
Comrade First Lieutenant Han, whom I once loved,
might have become my wife instead.
Undo his handcuffs.
Get out.
What are you looking at? Walk, quickly!
Hey, enjoy your last breath of fresh air.
Who knows? You might live a good life with your wife
as a North Korean hero who used to be undercover,
or you might become barbecue in this raging fire.
Whichever way it goes, the decision will be made soon.
Comrade hero.
If you've been good to your wife, you might live.
Please let me live.
Pick up the phone.
Put it on speaker.
Where is Carter?
He's on standby to be incinerated.
-What are your orders? -Wait a bit longer.
Yes, sir.
Where is Kim Jong Hyeok?
He's at the Sinuiju Chemical Factory's biochemical facilities
about 1.5 kilometers north--
I'M GOING TO CALL YOU KEEP ME ON THE PHONE - CARTER
You look like you still haven't decided.
Don't overthink it.
You need to save yourself, your husband,
and your child, don't you?
That, we can promise.
Let us go as promised by the government.
I don't care what you do with this country.
You should care.
If, by some chance,
you two work with the Americans
and say all sorts of bullshit to the entire world,
how will that make me look?
I'll most likely be furious
and drag your family out again
to bury all of you deep within that anthrax incinerator out there.
But
if Carter Lee, the one who saved North Korea from the virus,
stands with us,
he will become a new idol
to bring all North Koreans together.
"Idol"?
Aren't you just looking for a puppet
that will move according to your every liking?
Shouldn't he survive first, even if that means being a puppet?
Isn't that right?
Comrade Lieutenant General.
When I look at you, threatening me with my husband's life,
I don't see a new world
for the North Korean people.
I knew that you were blinded by a man,
but I see you're blind to your immediate future as well.
I can't plan
the future of North Korea
with someone who is so blind.
Shoot him!
Get down!
This is the room. Yoon Hee is in here.
Where is the kid?
What? Where is she? This has to be the right room.
No!
-This child… -She's our daughter!
Carter!
Mister!
It's all right.
They are just researchers.
Doctor, our daughter…
You've been infected as well.
The child will regain consciousness in about half an hour.
We need to get out of here now.
Please save my Ha-na. The door is locked.
Ha-na, it's me.
Ha-na, let's go.
Go into the closet in front of you.
Give her to me.
A Chinese government train transporting infected dead bodies
left Ryung Gye Station seven minutes ago and is headed to Dandong.
Even the North Korean government can't interfere with that train,
so we need to get on that train.
But first, we need to get your memory back.
Doctor.
If you open his stitches, you'll see a device.
If you plug this into it, his memory will return.
"BD-7."
-Do you think it is wise for… -Yoon Hee!
-Dad, are you okay? -I will bring Ha-na here.
Your daughter is infected too.
Endure it just a bit longer. We're almost there.
Jung Hee!
When the country is falling into ruins because of the virus,
do you think it is wise for our Comrade Hero of the Republic
to abandon the country during such times?
Let us go.
Comrade Lieutenant General, please. I'm begging you.
Comrade, you still haven't come to your senses.
Have you forgotten that
even your child's birth was the decision of the government?
Please tell your superiors
that if you promise to let our child, our family, go,
I will bring Ha-na here.
Do you know what you've said they'll do to you, this woman,
and your daughter?
Nobody knows if the CIA extracted Ha-na or
if she's still hidden somewhere in South Korea.
I can find her if I become bait and approach the CIA.
Since I don't side with North Korea or the US,
it won't become an international conflict either.
How can I trust you,
a man who even got plastic surgery and acted as a spy
for seven long years?
If you run, abandoning your wife and your child,
that will only mean the exposure of our intel.
Then,
erase my memories using BD-7
and send me to South Korea.
Carter.
BD-7.
How do you know that information?
Give us just one more chance.
I will bring Ha-na to North Korea. In exchange,
let our family go.
-Yoon Hee! -No!
-Yoon Hee! -Yoon Hee!
-Yoon Hee. -Yoon Hee.
Look here, Comrade Carter.
You must successfully complete the mission this time.
Because now,
your daughter is infected too.
Yoon Hee.
No.
Has your memory returned?
Do you remember me now?
I'm sorry.
I left you all alone.
You saved our family.
You really did well.
Carter!
Take the children first and run!
Ha-na, quickly.
If you move northwest, you'll see a train coming in.
Hurry.
What about you?
Just worry about the children.
-Doctor. Hurry! -Hold on, Ha-na!
Ha-na, hold on tight!
Hide behind the car.
Ha-na, hang on tight!
DANDONG EMERGENCY MEDICAL COMMAND CENTER
Ha-na. Stay right here.
No! Go away!
Prepare to fire.
Get lower!
Hang on, Ha-na!
Ha-na! Take my hand!
Son of a bitch!
So,
do you really think those memories
that you tried so hard to get back are really yours?
Doctor, get on before me!
Jump!
-Yoon Hee. -Yoon Hee.
Yoon Hee, are you all right? Do you recognize me?
Yes. Mom.
Yes, it's me.
Where are we going?
