Collective Invention Page #2

---

It's an unbelievable revelation.

A young man who participated in

a clinical trial for a new drug

has become a fish.

Ganmi Medical imprisoned him,

and continued their experiments.

We have the exclusive story of

this harsh violation of human rights.

Intimidating medical supplies and drugs.

Secret room behind curtains.

Images of human experiments in Auschwitz

are conjured up.

The victim's 4 limbs were tied up,

and was forced to participate in

terrifying experiments.

He couldn't be anesthetized.

We had to find out how far

the nerves were connected.

It was hard for us! We're humans too.

Under the pretense of medical advancement,

human rights were violated,

ABS' Kim Gwang-bin reporting.

Do you know why people call me 'Ghost Eyes'?

No.

I recognize amazing talent.

Here!

"ABS Reporter Seo Sang-won"

You'll be a full-timer soon.

A temp spot for now.

Thank you!

I'll do my best!

It'll be an important period.

Once the strike ends, not everyone will return.

They're more qualified, right?

Right.

You got a lot of catching up,

work faster and harder.

Understand?

Yes.

Listen.

It's your job to find everything

about the fish man.

Okay.

Does anyone know you're an ABS reporter?

No, you said not to tell.

Then keep it that way,

let's not kick up a storm.

Where is he now?

Pardon?

The fish man. Where is he?

- My home...

- Your home?

He had nowhere else to go...

Good boy.

This is your chance, seize it!

"Video Album"

Park Gu, 29 years old.

Raised by a salary man father

and a housewife mother,

he had a normal childhood.

"Be healthy"

Normal height, normal physique,

normal face, normal personality.

I don't remember that name.

I was class rep,

so I know everyone in the class.

"Park Gu"

He does look a bit familiar...

My memory is usually good.

I was the class rep too.

Have I mentioned I was the class rep?

"Dormitory" Being so ordinary,

he never got a job after college,

and on his father's advice,

he began prepping for civil exam.

Do you remember anything

on the clinical trial release form?

Something about Omega 3,

something was written about Omega 3 for sure.

I didn't read it properly.

Why did you participate in a clinical trial,

without reading the fine prints?

I'm sorry...

No, no need to be apologize.

Father!

"Father"?

Father, I...

Father! Wait!

Father! Please!

Dang.

Documentary?

Yes.

It's a documentary.

It could be used when you choose to sue...

Buddy.

Sir?

Don't get any funny ideas.

Okay.

No one asked you to make ends meet!

I sent you to Seoul to study,

so why didn't you?

Missy.

Who are you?

Me? A friend.

Friend?

Girlfriend?

- Yes!

- No.

College student?

No, I gave up school.

Why? What for?

It wasn't right for me.

Wasn't right?

No such a thing!

You get used to it if you keep at it,

then it becomes right!

Youngsters nowadays got no persistence.

- I'm sorry!

- For what!

Just... about everything...

Looks like you're not all that young,

just stick to it and become a civil servant!

That's being filial!

- Mister!

- Sir.

Should we... start again?

Wasn't right?

Sh*t...

- Let's begin.

- Okay.

Ganmi Medical and my team'd like to

formally apologize for the fish man incident.

By conducting protein QR42clinical trial,

we discovered that enzyme used to

attach methyl to EZH2,

can disassemble...

This is Dr. Byun's experiment in a nutshell.

Nucleus from tuna and salmon are extracted,

and spliced with embryonic stem cell

to create a self-replicating protein.

Taking a cue from astronauts' meals in space,

this protein provides limitless energy

to the body,

thereby creating a chance to end

world hunger forever.

During early experiments,

this protein was found to

suppress cancer growth in a subject's body,

and brought global attention to Dr. Byun,

and became a partner of Ganmi Medical,

and conducted clinical trial,

in preparation for mass production.

When attached to ROR Alpha enzyme...

Excuse me, doctor!

So you're saying this is consumable?

QR42, the protein we developed,

is turned into ubiquitin

during self-replicating...

In layman's terms please?

This is as easy as it gets...

Basically, this single pill will expand

inside the body?

To be specific, it's self-replicating.

- This is...

- One moment.

So one can get by without food for 3 days?

And prevent cancer too?

So wait,

this'll not only end world hunger,

but extend human life...

Isn't this Nobel Prize-worthy?

Nobel Prize? Really?

First for a Korean?

No, there was another.

So, Nobel Prize in Medicine?

It's a first in Medicine.

I tried everything possible to meet him,

but he made excuses

and declined interview requests.

I really wanted to meet him and hear his story.

You're too young to be fixated on money!

'You're young, so take a pay cut, '

'you lack experience, so take a pay cut, '

'you're passionate, so take a pay cut!'

That's your logic?

Goddamn trash.

Okay, okay, fine! I'll give you $400.

I can't go any higher.

$500!

You know I'm poor!

And I'm busy, you know that.

You just have to stay by my side.

Bullshit.

Why isn't this geezer showing up already?

You know what?

What?

I don't like him.

I know.

You knew?

He really likes you, don't hurt him.

He's already pitiful.

Don't you think he's lonely?

He's not a person,

nor a fish either.

He's like me.

Look, he's here! He's here!

Don't be so violent, okay?

You got a violent tendency.

Here we go!

Get off first.

What now!

$500!

Okay, fine! $500!

Okay!

Dr. Byun?

Doctor! Doctor!

I have a few questions!

Why do you deny interview requests?

Do you have something to hide?

Did you know about the side effects?

- Before experiments...

- Over here!

Ow!

Where're you off to?

Look out, a car!

You stupid rat...

You can't fool me...

Dammit...

Are you f***ing nuts?

A woman?

Does she have sh*t in her eyes?

- Get out!

- I'm so sorry!

- What the heck happened?

- Ma'am, are you rich?

I'll kick the sh*t out of you!

Come out.

Last chance.

Life went on,

and the public infatuation

for Gu never stopped.

Wait a moment!

Participating in clinical trials for money...

Ganmi Medical was criticized

for unethical practices...

Job is hard to come by,

and what little income...

People sympathized with these students

who had to risk their life for a petty sum.

As grotesquely mutated Gu

became a symbol for youths,

who are filled with despair,

people became obsessed with him.

Gu became a social cause that

everyone got behind.

We reflected our problems through Gu.

Youth unemployment is at 11.1%...

Competition for civil exam is

the highest at 93:1

Debate over chronic social problems

that gave birth to Gu,

raged on endlessly.

And finally...

One comment please!

"District Court Verdict"

Did you expect a guilty verdict?

"Ganmi Medical receives 9-month suspension"

"Dr. Byun receives 4-year sentence"

This verdict... represents how judicial justice
