BL1 LAB

Hey. So you were here.

I have to head to the police station to give a statement about the incident.

I see.

Want to come with me?

No thanks.

I'm sure…

EPISODE 6

…they're more curious to hear from you.

What in the world happened?

You should at least tell me.

Why should I?

What?

Because we work together.

I feel left out.

It won't happen again.

What won't happen again?

Where are you going? Ms. Yun is--

She's alone.

The other bodyguards are private security, so I--

Are you serious?

What do you want me to do?

You're so stubborn.

- -Damn it. Why am I being excluded?

- -I got this job fair and square too.

Keep your word.

You'd be lying if you left.

Excuse me.

I just got visual confirmation of the first successful case

of our cultured muscle fiber.

It's impossible to believe that the subject had been fatally wounded.

I owe it to you all. Thank you.

You did it.

People naturally want to brag when they create something.

Especially engineers.

But please refrain from doing that for now.

This is still classified.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

You didn't have to call us here just to say that.

We're not kids.

I want to speak with Ms. Hong.

What? Already?

-I guess we really did it. -

What did you want to talk about?

I'm sure you never want to hear his name again,

but you two had the closest working relationship.

Professor Kim?

I kept going back over it in my head.

"Was everything he said afterwards a lie?"

After what?

After his wife passed away.

"I know you did your best."

"You all did well."

-Warning. EEG, ECG… -Yeongsil, open the bed.

…and EMG measurements not possible.

Warning. EEG, ECG, and EMG measurements not possible.

- 100 joules. -Charging.

-Shoot. -

- 200 joules. -Charging.

- Shoot. -

One more time. Shoot.

-One more time. Shoot. -

I'm truly sorry.

What?

It's okay.

I know you did your best.

You all did well.

Honey, let's go home.

Let's go home.

Do you think he had resented me ever since

but hid his feelings all along just so he could retaliate one day?

Because if I knew he resented me,

then he would've been the first person I suspected.

Let's say this for the sake of argument.

He was the one who begged you to perform the surgery.

But as a result, his wife's health deteriorated.

So as any human would do, he started to resent you.

Even if that were the case,

do you think he would have hidden his feelings from the get-go?

Do you think he was planning his revenge?

That's the only way to explain what happened.

He died right before his arrest without revealing the truth.

And, as a result, people suspect me of poisoning him.

So you think he committed suicide?

To complete his revenge?

Though he barely got revenge.

Do you think he wanted

to cause you as much harm as possible before getting arrested?

That would be a better ending for him

since it would be his choice.

But he didn't know about his fate.

He didn't know he'd get arrested after landing.

That's why he drank champagne.

He was celebrating his success.

If you think it wasn't his choice, then…

If he hadn't planned this from the get-go,

then he had a change of heart.

There must have been a point

when he suddenly changed.

Maybe he did something out of character or met someone new after losing his wife.

I just thought he was adjusting back to his old life.

-He had joined a group too. -What group?

It wasn't anything special.

Early last year after his wife passed away,

he would leave work at 6:00 p.m. sharp every Wednesday.

-You're going today too? -What?

I asked him later, and he said he was meeting with a group.

I'll leave you to it then.

A group for bereaved families of cancer patients.

That would be unlike him.

Exactly.

I thought he must be in a lot of pain, given how he wasn't very social.

But it must have helped. I could see him improving.

He must've befriended someone.

But it didn't last long.

Aren't you leaving?

-What? - It's Wednesday.

-You have that group meeting. -Right.

Everyone there is a coward.

A coward?

I don't understand

how he could have become so evil.

I won't ask you to bring him to mind ever again.

Team Leader Hong Saeip.

What?

I'm not a team leader.

Why not?

It's a given for the chief researcher to become one

since the position for Research Team Three is vacant.

It's not a given.

Once you become the team leader

and the work you do in the basement becomes a success,

your future will be paved out for you.

I beg to differ.

We don't even know how long cultured meat will remain as the core item at BF.

It's true that our IT sector has grown significantly.

I'm the one who should be worried.

Why you?

If our company's future lies in the basement,

I might eventually get kicked out since it has nothing to do with me.

I wasn't a doctor like you were.

We always need someone with legal expertise.

Goodbye then.

So it's related to medical science.

You tainted your reputation

the moment you claimed your culture fluid was trash.

No! It wasn't me! It's all a lie!

It wasn't him?

They said it was full of germs!

Then the news reported that and people believed them!

They're all the same! I devoted my entire life to this.

They're practically bad-mouthing me.

I'm not sure.

Yes, ma'am?

I need to track an employee.

Do I need their consent even if they're dead?

-Sorry? -It's Kim Singu.

You never asked for it when he was alive.

He had been going somewhere regularly

at 6:00 p.m. every Wednesday since the beginning of last year.

Please find the address and send it to Mr. Kim Hoseung.

Mr. Kim is currently at the police station.

I just spoke with him about his sensor suit.

To give it to him right now?

Yes. We just received the samples for the bodyguards too.

He said he'd be done soon. Should we give it to him when he comes?

Do my two bodyguards have similar builds?

Yes. They're getting the same size. Why do you ask?

Then one of them can take both.

What? Why would she give both of them to one bodyguard?

Yeongsil, the location tracker.

Yes, sir.

I said I couldn't stop you from leaving.

-You did. -But?

I still have work left to do.

If you go to room 503, Mr. Seo will give you an address.

For a location where Kim Singu met with a cancer support group.

And what's there?

Hopefully nothing.

Where will you be while I'm gone?

I have no plans to leave this building today.

It'll be safer for you to work from home.

I'll get out of your place as soon as possible.

My neighbors will be sad to hear that.

Mr. Seo.

- Was it hard to find me? -Ah. I came to the right place.

Our HQ is like a maze.

That's okay.

Right. Pick a suit that fits you.

Am I getting one? For free?

Yes, it's free.

-Wow. It's a formal suit. -

By the way, thank you for protecting me last time.

-I didn't get to thank you. -That's okay.

I was just doing my job.

I'm just glad you were unharmed.

-And Chaewoon recovered too. -

-Right. This is from Ms. Yun. -

Yes?
