Confession

Jin-seop: “Where did you get the transplanted eye from?” Doctor: “I was just in charge of performing surgery and did not know anything else.”

The police interrogate Dong-soo about his connection to the two employees that died and interrogate his presence in the building. Park asks him about the astrologer and Choi draws the connection to the corpse art but Dong-soo does not say a word. Park starts to threaten Dong-soo which is when he tells them about the connection.

Detective Choi tries to question the humanoid by himself, but he makes Dong-soo comfortable by letting him put the patch on. He states that he will believe Dong-soo considering the case was pretty absurd. ..

Dong-soo tells Choi that he saw a symbol for Pluto in his recent vision. The symbol was engraved on one of the corpse sculptures he saw in the vision. Dong-soo is scared and doesn’t want to show it to Choi.

Dong-soo is certain that he is innocent and wants to protect him as a witness. He asks Dong-soo to explain the visions clearly but Dong-soo knows the other cops are listening from the two-way mirror. Choi asks if Dong-soo wants to go somewhere private. Meanwhile, Jin-seop takes the doctor to his own surgical room and starts beating him up.

Doctor: “I’m not sure what you’re asking me. I’m just a doctor.” Jin-seop: “But you’re the only one who’s been able to help me in the past. What makes you think you can help me now?” Doctor: “I don’t know, but I think it’s because of the Connect in that eye.” Jin-seop: “What do you mean?” Doctor: “It’s a special type of eye. It belongs to a Connect. A Connect is someone who has the ability to connect with other people’s minds.” “So many people are after it because they think it has some sort of power?” Doctor: “Some people believe that the eye has magical powers, and that it can help them achieve their goals.” ..

Detective Choi and Jin-seop chat on the rooftop of a building in Seoul. Dong-soo is handcuffed and Jin-seop threatens to cut off his organs if he doesn’t talk. Dong-soo breaks out of his handcuffs and Detective Choi watches in bewilderment as his hand heal itself back. The doctor explains to Jin-seop how Dong-soo healed in an instant after the surgery.

Detective Choi is shocked to hear about Dong-soo’s strange body and claims that he is called the Connect. Jin-seop can tell that the doctor had tested an eye transplant on him just for the heck of it and gets more frustrated. The doctor explains how a famous pharmaceutical company discovered the creatures called  – Connect back in 2000.

Dong-soo tells Choi that he has a vision of the murderer and Jin-seop gets angry and kills the doctor by smashing into his skull. He starts clapping in glee after doing so. ..

Dong-soo asks detective Choi if he was going to expose him to the world. The detective claims that he would have to do so in order to protect the world. Detective Choi gets a phone call from Park who tells them that Dong-soo was not a registered citizen and that he did not exist in the legal world. Choi asks Park to look into the organ-hunting gangsters. ..

Detective Choi insists that he had no business with Dong-soo anymore, but Dong-soo insists that the detective let him go because he was the only one who knew the faces of the kids. Choi asks Dong-soo to let it go and leave the job of catching the murderer up to the cops, but Dong-soo breaks free of the cuff by breaking his other hand. ..

Detective Choi watches in shock as Dong-soo bleeds first but heals instantly and begins to run away from the station. Yi-rang tries calling Dong-soo but is unable to get in touch with him.

Yi-rang is worried about her finger. She wonders if the man who caught her was able to find her. Yi-rang heals quickly and it turns out she too is a Connect. The gangster’s boss, Mr Kim, is looking for the doctor who is missing from his clinic. Woo-jin, the man in charge of tracking Jin-seop, calls Kim to inform him that Jin-seop hadn’t gone back home since the day before.

Yi-rang tells Woo-jin that she was just trying to help him and that she doesn’t know who Jin-seop is. She then tells him that she saw Dong-soo with Jin-seop and that he was trying to get her to tell him where Jin-seop was.

Meanwhile, Dong-soo tries to save the girls by setting up a fire in an elementary school. He also calls the emergency number and claims that he was going to set a fire in all the elementary schools in the vicinity to kill all the kids. Detective Choi asks the cops to play along and shut down all the elementary schools in light of a terrorist attack.

Dong-soo is amused by Dong-soo’s effort. Dong-soo sighs in relief, sure that he was successful. He looks at a comment from Z on his YouTube video and is overwhelmed that a big artist had complimented him. Z asks Dong-soo to reach out if he’d like to record some music together and the humanoid gets emotional.

Dong-soo and Jin-seop argue on the phone for a while and the latter claims that it was fate for one of Dong-soo’s eye to end up in his body.

Jin-seop claims that they were already in the next phase and it was too late for Dong-soo and ends the call. A man discovers Woo-jins dead body with his throat slit below the bridge where he and Yi-rang fought the night before. She goes to see Dong-soo who tells her that the cops knew he was a connect. She tells him that staying there was not safe for him and takes him to an old movie theatre.

Dong-soo is asked by his friend Yi-rang to stay out of trouble and promise not to do anything bad. He agrees and tells her that he is very similar to her. Yi-rang gets him to stab her, but Dong-soo is shocked when he learns that she can heal too. He claims that she lied to him about being saved by a Connect, but Yi-rang states that she waited to tell him this because she wanted him to get his eye back.

Dong-soo mentions that he did not need to put on a bandaid but he states that he did so to make it seem like he was normal and takes the band-aid off. Dong-soo is happy that he finally found someone to share his misery with and they both are glad they won’t suffer alone. ..

Dong-soo and Yi-rang share a passionate kiss as the creatures from within them try to get attached. Jin-seop attacks Dong-soo in the parking lot, but he is able to fight back and drags away his body. Z is leaving his party at the nightclub with a girl when he is attacked, but he manages to fight back and saves her.

Dong-soo has a dream in which he sees the corpse art of someone that resembles Jin-seop, only he does not know that it is him. He suddenly experiences a connection where Jin-seop can be seen tearing up his original murder plan and Z appears in a wheelchair with cuts all over his body.

The Episode Review

This episode was very interesting and I feel like there should have been more episodes in order to explore the concept further. There are a few plot holes, but the show has an interesting premise that I hope is explored in future K-dramas. ..

Kyung-pyo Jin-seop’s character is actually interesting, but I don’t understand the reason why he got an eye transplant. If he was injured and at the doctor for treatment, it would have been ideal for the makers to show that he had lost an eye. That part of the story was absurd for me as a viewer. ..

I predict that Yi-rang will be a Connect, but I am not sure if she is actually a good person. I think she is helpful because she can fight, but I am also suspicious of her motives.
