Don't let them gain any ground. Kill them all!

BLACK KNIGHT
[music fades]
[funky music playing]
[exhaling]
He's making quite the entrance.
[truck horn blaring]
[tires screeching]
[truck hissing]
[Sa-wol coughing]
[music fades]
Whoa. Thought I was dead meat there.
Did you wanna die today?
I did.
Not anymore, though.
Gonna do this.
And I've got a reason to do it.
Just tell me how I can win.
I don't care what reason you have.
Telling you won't help much either.
I abhor rudeness.
You got me out of there.
You saved me! Why'd you do that, huh?
[dramatic music playing]
How's your head? Your memory back?
You're my only option to win.
- Why? - You're the strongest there is.
Please.
Prove yourself worthy.
10:00, NOVEMBER 21
[truck hissing]
[Seul-ah] But, Unni, uh, I actually think he could do it.
I've seen him fight a few times.
He's definitely much stronger than he was--
[gasping]
[somber music playing]
[footsteps approaching]
[5-8] How many people do you think died?
[man] Thousands.
We thought that we were just resisting,
but Cheonmyeong, they thought that it was a riot.
[5-8] Do we have to go on living like this?
[man] What other option do we have?
[5-8] I will find one...
no matter how long it takes.
[chuckling]
Trying to be a deliveryman, huh?
YOU TOO CAN BECOME A LEGEND LIKE 5-8
Okay, so the legendary 5-8 is gonna help you become a deliveryman?
No. He said, "Prove yourself worthy."
Yeah, same thing.
- You're always so pessimistic! - Watch it, man.
- Do you feel confident? - Well...
whatever it is, I can do it.
I'm also gonna test to see if 5-8 is the legend that people say.
No, you're the one who's gonna be tested. Do you even know what the word test means?
Of course I do, moron! It's like an exam.
[Useless scoffing]
Wanna be useful, man?
[Useless] It's not just your future on the line, it's your life.
Ever heard of passing through the Gate of Hell?
Gate of Hell?
[music fades]
[car clicking]
Ugh. Man, always working late.
I tell them to conserve oxygen, but they never listen.
[computers trilling]
[sighing heavily]
[man] Ma'am.
Hmm? You can go.
Uh, may I really? Because that would be great.
Is something going on?
Yes. Tail team has put out an emergency report.
5-8?
He's been found outside the General District.
[tense music playing]
Oh, you're coming with us?
What, think I'm going home?
PHYSICAL TRAINING FACILITY
[door closing]
[5-8] Is everyone here?
Let's get started.
[man] It's an old training room for deliverymen.
I saw 11 people enter, including 5-8.
They were all deliverymen who used to be refugees.
Deliverymen in the 5-8 line.
[suspenseful music playing]
They're kidnapping children.
Conducting experiments.
Did you say experiments?
So then do you think Cheonmyeong's behind everything?
- I know they are. - Why target children of the miners?
'Cause of the mutation.
[scoffing] Is all that stuff actually real?
[remote beeping]
ANALYSIS OF THE REFUGEE SURVIVOR
Oh, it's real.
[man] There are over ten deliverymen, including 5-8.
What if there's a situation? What if they fight?
[Seol-ah] Even better. It'd give us a reason to arrest them.
The bones are metal, and wounds heal extremely fast.
[4-2] So it is real.
But then, I guess nothing's impossible with how far the world's gone to hell.
If they really are targeting mutants,
the boy's perfect.
You gonna use him to find the missing children?
If we have to.
He told 5-8 he wanted to be a deliveryman.
The kid needs me as well.
[tense music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[blow landing]
What brings you all the way here at this hour?
[mask whirring]
I felt today was the day we continue our conversation.
[deliverymen grunting, panting]
Each of the days the kidnappings happened,
5-7 was on leave.
He must have acted as the key, as a deliveryman.
We put out a wanted notice, then he's dead. You know why?
Overworking.
[ominous music playing]
[car doors closing]
[Seol-ah] Stop right there.
[man] The higher ups ordered a private investigation.
Was he murdered?
I'm sorry, information's classified.
CHEONMYEONG LOGISTICS
It's the first time a deliveryman's died from overwork since Earth fell apart.
[Seol-ah] Yes.
Officially.
You don't believe the official announcement, Major?
I'm very skeptical.
Still missing the testimony of the key witness.
5-7 was murdered.
Murdered?
Based on what?
I saw the man die.
A tiny device had exploded inside of his head.
Were there any... any clues before this happened?
What'd you say?
Where were they all taken?
- [device whirring] - [shuddering] The human experiments...
[device clicking]
The culprits' tattoo.
On the back of their necks.
Kidnappings are happening in many other places.
Refugees are being taken too.
Oh my God.
It's happening, Major.
Take care out there.
[dramatic music playing]
[Sa-wol panting]
[Useless] It says he went to meet 5-8 like you did,
and saw hell.
The Gate of Hell.
Once you go through that gate,
you become pulp.
They beat you up good until you lose yourself,
and then never let up.
They beat you up? Really? Everyone?
The guy who wrote that book,
he spent a whole week in a coma.

Enough of this. Get serious.
That's what you want?
[music fades]
[groaning]
Did you see my fist?
- No. - [5-8] Oh.
So, that's where you're at.
[groaning]
What do you think?
He's not disciplined, he's very slow.
[5-8] Hmm.
- [Sa-wol groaning, panting] - [whimsical music playing]
Aren't you going?
Should I go
You wanna be a deliveryman, right?
Wouldn't you first have to register?
Uh... oh. Uh-huh.
Use your head and think.
Oh.
[tense music playing]
What are you drawing?
This doesn't leave the team, okay?
[man] Listen up!
We have new information.
It's a competition to find a new deliveryman
for Cheonmyeong Group.
And all of you here have a fair shot at winning
But only one ultimate victor

I'm thinking for the first time in a while.
Are you sad that Yoon Sa-wol is now Refugee 034?
Not exactly sad. It's just that...
Do you know my name?
- 5-8. - That's right.
I'm 5-8, and she's 4-1.
You're Refugee 034. That's reality.
Oh.
[chuckling]
Fine, then.
Now what do I do?
[upbeat music playing]

Wait, what's that?
[Sa-wol grunting, groaning]
Huh?
Do I dodge those?
No, you hit them all!
[Sa-wol grunting]
Seriously?
Stop dodging and hit the balls!
[Sa-wol yelling]
Your eyes are as slow as your body is.
What are you even saying right now?
How about you try it?
Man, he really doesn't listen.
- Always no shirt. - [4-1 chuckling]
Fire away.
Whoa.
[grunting lightly]
Whoa!
So cool, man! Wow!

Got so much to learn.

TEHERAN-RO, 9 P.M.
[tense music playing]
He passed the first round.
[air hissing]
[truck engines idling, revving]
[man] He's my only son, and they took him right in front of me.
[Seol-ah] The fact that they left you behind
means it was your son who mattered to them.
[man] Well, what... what should I do now?
[man 2] Right now you need to look for a guy who has this tattoo
on the back of his neck, all right?
[man] I just need to find someone who has this tattoo?
[Seol-ah] Yes. We'll be the ones to arrest him.
[man] Can I notify other districts?
[Seol-ah] As many as you can.
[man] Okay, I'll do that.
[tense music playing]
[Seol-ah] He has a bad skin condition.
Was he a mine worker?
[man 2] Yes. They took him away when he was young. Barely escaped
[Seol-ah] The children of the mines.
[ominous music playing]
[gun firing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[1-3] Get out.
Everyone, take one.
[door opening]
[5-8] The destination?
[man] The oxyanium mine.
The work at their district is over,
so they were going there to be killed.
[5-8] Are you okay?
I volunteered to be a refugee warden there.
- I'm fine. - [5-8] How are things in District A?
[man] I think they're going to test Air Road operation soon.
[5-8] We have to delay it.
[man] I'm setting things up here and there for our next move,
but the security's on high alert after the last one.
[5-8] We can't fail this time.
We'll look for a way too.
Which one, arm or leg?
[man] What do you mean?
You're going back. You need at least one bullet in you.
[man] No, leg, leg.
[5-8] Arm.
[man grunting]
[Ryu] Who did this?
[Oh] We don't know yet, sir.
A warden survived, so we're questioning him,
but he's out of his mind.
[seething] How dare they go after what is Cheonmyeong's.
Let's get the military and guard team on this.
[Oh] Of course. Yes--
[sinister music playing]
- [Ryu sighing] - [computer chiming]
What is it?
[woman] The defense minister's party is here.
Hello, sir.
Major Jung Seol-ah.
Cheonmyeong Group CEO. Good to meet you.
Major Jung Seol-ah, Intelligence Command.
[Ryu] The construction is 90% complete.
We have an agreement with the government
and everything is progressing under airtight security.
Seems like your security really is tight.
Well, information overload just leads to chaos.
So you're moving District A over to the Core,
and the Special and General Districts are each being upgraded by a level?
[Ryu chuckling]
Oh, well, I can see why the minister thinks so much of you.
Another mass exodus will begin.
Cheonmyeong Group,
along with Mr. Ryu, are doing something extraordinary here.
Why did you ask for me, sir?
I want the files, every district file.
A reassignment of residents, Major, and I want your cooperation.
[inhaling]
[sighing heavily]
Reassignments, huh?
That's correct.
[man] There's no pressure.
Just work with Mr. Ryu.
Cooperation.
I look forward to it, Major.
[unsettling music playing]
[man] They do not want you
to lead the relocation plan for District A.
[Ryu] Is it the president?
GOVERNMENT RELOCATION EXECUTION PLAN
The chairman is behind the president.
Cheonmyeong Group must speak as one
if your plan is to be fully realized.
[Ryu breathing deeply, sighing]
It's always something.
[music fades]
[whimsical music playing]
So I passed?
[scoffing]
Can you even drive?
Drive?
[rock music playing]
[engine revving]
[Sa-wol] Yeah!
[5-8] Okay, so he can drive.
[dramatic music playing]
[man] In this round,
you must deliver a package safely across the finish line.
Along the route
there are hunters waiting to attack, each with a special criminal record.
Any hunter who takes your packages
will be released from prison immediately.
Each vehicle is supplied with weapons.
You will use them to stop the hunters attacks and protect the package.
Can we kill them, sir?
Yes, you may.
In this round, we will advance two participants
who complete the mission, whose packages have been delivered safely.
Then the final round, right?
If you're still alive at that point.
[man] Why did you have us come here?
You're here as observers to make sure the competition is fair.
[mask whirring]
[man 2] Mr. Ryu is here.
Good work, everybody.
[woman] The second round of the Cheonmyeong Deliveryman
Selection Competition will begin.
