WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP

Think about what the IOU wanted
to achieve with Santi's sperm.

We could explain that the sperm
of MZ Group heir was also misshappen

and try to convince them
that it's a scientific achievement

for solving infertility, Chief.

You want to try to have
this ill*gal experiment

recognized as a scientific achievement?

You want to gamble the future
of the Korea Space Agency

on a morula
that may or may not become life?

It could be
an opportunity for both, Chief.

The tourist

performed the ICSI,

smuggled the embryo into Earth,

and attempted to implant it.

He could face penalties in the hundreds
of billions for that alone.

Add the bribery of the astronauts
including the commander,

and the charges become more serious.

He'll lose his medical license
and face criminal charges.

He'll end up in prison!

Fine.

If you really can't give it up,
go ahead and gamble.

Your colleagues, your beloved tourist,
and the KSA.

If you decide to risk it all
as the commander,

I'll do as you say.

What's it going to be?

What should I tell the IOU?

Tell me.

Say something!

Over here, Ms. Choi.

Hey, why won't you pick up your phone?

You have to go to the MCC now!

Ryong,

the morula, they're…

-Is table four ready?
-Yes.

-Okay, let's hurry it up.
-Yes.

Mr. Kang.

Get everyone out of here.

I'm sorry, but we need you to step out.

Everyone, please leave the kitchen.

You need to go to the MCC first!

Did you get rid of the portable freezer?

And the link to the freezer is off?

The legal team did.

Thankfully, Mr. Ryong told them
that the confiscated morula

was fertilized here on Earth.

Oh, geez.

Come on! You need to go there now!

CHIEF KANG

Hello?

Get over here.

Go and do whatever it takes
to get Ryong out of there.

Tell them the morula was fertilized here
and get it back. Okay?

They'll both survive this, right?

The morula that should
never have ended up on Earth

was confiscated at MZ Medical Center
right before the transplant.

The IOU would be appalled.

If this gets out, your dad is finished,
so pull yourself together.

We have to side with the MCC on this.

That's the only way we'll survive.

Do you understand?

Commander.

Commander.

You'll give it back, right?

You haven't changed your mind, right?

We felt the same way about it.

You…

haven't changed your mind, right?

You're just a tourist.

I'm the commander who needs to protect
the space station and the space agency.

As per space experiment
ethics regulations…

I'm discarding it.

Don't forgive me.

Dr. Kang had already performed
an ill*gal experiment up there.

The eggs and sperm I failed to destroy
were used to create a new morula.

But when I found out,

I was afraid that it would jeopardize
my status as commander,

so I couldn't report it to the IOU or KSA.

Even after I came down,

I intentionally left it out
of my report on the tourist.

It was an unacceptable, cowardly act
from a commander.

I only thought about myself.

I've brought shame
to the KSA and Expedition 3.

The other members
don't know anything, Chief.

I don't deserve to be the commander.

Please dismiss me

and let me take full responsibility.

I'll dispose of it now.

Chief.

Please report to the IOU that
I disposed of the morula at the station.

The morula never made it down to Earth.

It was thrown away in a shredder,
and that's why the investigation team

couldn't find it.

Open the door!

Open this door!

Eve!

Don't do it!

Don't do it, Eve!

Don't do it, please!

Don't do it!

Please, damn it!

Don't do it!

It survived the unknown rays…

and radiation.

It made it this far…

against all odds.

Why?

Why does it have to die
in the hands of humans?

Don't do it.

Don't do it!

Don't do it, you b*stards!

Who is this code of ethics for?

Tell me, for whom
does this code of ethics exist?

The mother wants it.

The mother wants her baby!

I…

am going to save you no matter what.

BIOMEDICAL WASTE

Let's say this morula
was disposed of at the station.

You showed me the note on your phone,

confessed, reflected on your actions,

and together, we agreed

to dispose of it up there.

That was why
we left that part out of our reports.

It never made it back down to Earth.

If they find out
you brought it down to Earth,

it will land you a heavier sentence.

Even if they have their suspicions,

KSA and MCC want to believe

that you secretly smuggled the eggs
up to the space station

without telling MZ or the egg's owner
to marry the MZ chairman's daughter.

And they want to believe
that you alone prepped

the microscope and performed ICSI
when you were at the radio wave dead zone.

The official explanation will be

that the morula confiscated
from MZ Medical Center

was fertilized here on Earth
as per your statement.

You have to stand trial.

You can't avoid punishment,
so be prepared.

Did you…

Did you…

really do it?

Did you do it?

Don't touch it!

You must remember…

the morula was disposed of at the station.

That's the only way you'll survive.

You have to protect yourself too.

You're not doing this for me.

Are you saying that you disposed of it
because of me?

Since you've already disposed of seven,

getting rid of one more

was nothing, wasn't it?

Now that you've disposed of
all eight of them,

are you happy now?

When you…

disposed of it…

you've k*lled me too.

You got rid of it to save yourself!

You people disposed of it
to save yourselves!

Am I wrong?

You're right.

I…

I was wrong about you.

Don't forget what you did…

for the rest of your life.

Because I won't forget this too.

I'm sorry, Commander. We…

It's all because of that
damn lottery ticket.

It would have been impossible
if he worked on it alone.

We created this mess
because we were blinded by money.

What's gonna happen to him?

Isn't it the same as yours?

Do you have proof?

-It's the same, right?
-Why?

You took my suit.
Now you want my underwear?

Weren't you all in a hurry
to shred the evidence at the station?

There's no point
in expanding the investigation to MZ.

Do you think they would have left
any evidence behind?

You're going to pin
all the blame on Mr. Gong?

And the morula?

When they were alone up there,

Eve disposed of it when she found out.

Is that how it is?

I thought the one confiscated today
was fertilized by Ryong on Earth.

Am I wrong?

You're not, of course.

Then we won't investigate MZ Group.

Because the survival
of the KSA is on the line.

That also applies to you.

So it's just Ryong who's screwed.

Don't ever let me see
either of your faces again.

Let's go see Dr. Na.

I'll break it to them.

Let's just go.

Do you think you'll be welcome there?

They'll skin you alive
and make a carpet out of you.

There's no morula.

Shut your mouth.

They already cut you loose.

They only treated you well
when you had the morula.

The chairman treats
even a person like me like vermin.

It's over.

You're the only one
who will end up losing.

They've already made you
look like an as*h*le here.

If you show up empty-handed,
those people won't care what you say.

What…

is this?

Did you bring a dead one?

Did you?

Answer me.

Answer me, you b*stard.

You promised to make me a grandchild.

I'm sorry.

Sorry? You're sorry?

Answer me,

before I rip your mouth apart.

You better choose your words wisely,
you useless piece of sh*t!

You worthless idiot.

-Sorry?
-Please, dad.

MZ MEDICAL CENTER

I'll get you a lawyer.

Don't worry about the fine.

Ryong, you shouldn't be driving right now.
Let me drive.

Go-eun…

you should be
with Dr. Na and the chairman.

Don't do anything for me.

I don't deserve anything from you.

I'm revoking your commander status.

Ma Eun-su will take over
the mouse experiments.

Your dismissal will depend on
the IOU's decision.

I'm disappointed in you.

You better behave yourself.

Yes, ma'am.

Come back down after three months.

Make amends for leaving it out
of the IOU report, then quit.

Go up with Park Dong-a
and finish the repairs on the station.

It was damaged on our watch,

so we should finish the job.

It's amazing you got a permission for her
to go back up

when she has a disciplinary committee
waiting for her.

How did you do it?

They were all set on firing her.
How did you stop them?

It's the right thing.

She needs to say her good-byes
to the stars.

I'm sure Eve is grateful

that you stuck your neck out for her.

You need to get lost too.

TO EVE KIM

STRANDED ASTRONAUTS RETURN…

TWO MONTHS LATER

Santi, this is EV1. Get me closer.



Drawing nigh.

Getting you closer there.

Okay.

Thank God this was the extent of it.

If the hole was any bigger,
the station would have exploded.

All right,

we've finished drilling.

EV2, covering the exterior O-ring patch.

Dr. Lee, start fastening it on the inside.

I'm going to seal the gap with silicone.

We're done injecting the silicone.
Turn it now, Eve.

EV2, we've finished repairs
on the damaged hole.

Dr. Lee,

start checking for any leakage
in the storage module.

I'll start after one hour.

If there aren't any leaks,

we can finally open
the sealed observation module tomorrow.

Nice!

I missed my CQ. My bathroom!

Great job fixing the station.
Good job, both of you.

How about you put your money
where your mouth is

and when Santi and I return
to Earth in two days,

you give us a big fat raise, huh?

And make sure to give Eve
a generous severance.

Eve.

Next month when you come down,
you should get a medical check.

You've had a fever lately,
and you've lost a lot of weight.

Why do you keep losing weight?

Even now, your temperature is a bit high.

You went up too soon without proper rest.

I'll do that, Dona.

I really hope nothing more
will happen to the station.

Let's keep it this way, intact,
without any major problems.

COURT

I will declare the sentence now.

DEFENDANT

This case represents
a truly heinous crime.

One where the defendant preyed upon
the desperate hopes

of an infertile couple
who longed for a child,

and who had placed
their trust in him for years.

It was a grossly immoral act

where an ob-gyn,
whose primary duty is to respect life,

took the lead
in violating the bioethics law.

Given the grave nature of this crime,

the medical association has already
revoked the defendant's license

and the International Space Agency
has imposed a 140 billion won penalty

for significantly damaging the reputation
of our country's space program.

Therefore,

pursuant to Articles 66, 67,
and 68 of the Bioethics and Safety Act,

the Court rules as follows.

The Court orders
that the defendant, Gong Ryong,

is sentenced to two years in prison.

However, the sentence
will be suspended for four years,

beginning on the date
this judgment becomes final.

Oh, my God.

He can't be a doctor anymore
and two years in prison?

Is our Ryong going to prison?

-Is he?
-No.

He's going to prison
and what's this suspended sentence thing?

Why four years?
What is he supposed to do now?

No, he's not going to prison.

We should be relieved.

-Relieved?
-How is that a relief?

MZ Group has announced that Gong Ryong
and MZ Electronic CEO, Choi Go-eun,

have called off their engagement.

Gong Ryong was found guilty
of violating Bioethics and Safety Act,

had his medical license revoked
and was sentenced to two years in prison

with a four year suspended sentence.
He was fined 140 billion won.

It seems that Choi Go-eun,

who had up until recently openly expressed
her affection for Gong Ryong

in front of the whole world,
could no longer turn a blind eye

to her fiancé's unethical actions.

After spending 70 billion won
to send Gong Ryong into space,

accusations that they knew of and condoned
Gong Ryong's ill*gal experiments

seem to be waning
in the wake of this recent breakup.

You no longer have to worry.

Mr. Ryong will be the only one
held accountable.

Aren't you sorry
for what you did to Ryong?

We made Ryong out to be

a shameless doctor,
just so we could save ourselves.

Not just as a doctor,

you completely ruined a man's life.

Do you think I don't know?

That b*stard cheated on you up there.

It's true, isn't it?

GO-EUN

I heard the news all the way in Houston
while I was collecting my winnings.

Two years in prison and 140 billion won.

I really wanted to see you
as I was leaving the airport.

As soon as Eve comes back
from finishing the repairs,

she'll be fired.

If she was fired right away,

Chief Kang was worried that IOU
might get a whiff of something,

so she pushed it back three months.

She gave Eve a ton of work
and managed to fool them.

You have to admit, Chief Kang is very sly,
like a fox. Don't you think?

How annoying.

Maybe I should recruit her for my company
after she retires.

Serves Eve right for getting fired.

Bet you're upset though, right?

I hope it works out with Eve.

That way I can reap the benefits.

I'm going to give it
another shot with Go-eun.

-Hey.
-Leave.

I have the prize money in my bank account.

Want me to pay the fine?

When Eve comes back down,
try to make it work.

Damn!

Hey.

Listen, don't stay here
and live like this.

Go to the US and
get your medical license again.

You're more than capable of doing that.

When Eve comes down,
she'll stay in the US.

You should pay for the drinks you had…

How much is the bill?

FLAVORS OF THE MOUNTAIN,
SEA, AND SKY

This anger is burning me up inside.

Hwa-ja, I'm so mad, I could die.

That goes for me too.

We'll do it. Go home.

I told you to get out of the kitchen.

Why would you wash the dishes?

If you want to do nothing,
at least read a book.

Hurry, get out.

You little brat.

Are you disobeying us
because we're not your biological mothers?

Are you ignoring us?

Cat got your tongue?

Do you plan on staying silent forever?

Don't you have a lot you want to say?

Listen, you little sh*t!

Take off those rubber gloves!

Take it easy, okay?

How can Dr. Ma take it easy?

She's going up soon,
and it's her first time.

I'm going to have babies too.

Is that right?

Pregnancy and childbirth
aren't the same thing.

Even if you're not pregnant up there,
you lose calcium,

which weakens your bones.

But imagine having a baby inside you,

the baby will relentlessly suck
the female's calcium and nutrients

from her bones.

And when the mother pushes during birth,
her pelvic bone could break.

The moment her bones
break inside her body…

it's game over.

The mother will die giving birth.

You know you can't perform
proper surgeries in zero gravity, right?

A C-section is absolutely impossible.

It has to be a natural birth,
no matter what.

Why are you trying to
put a damper on things?

So does that mean humanity
can only live on Earth?

Don't forget we already did heart surgery
on a mouse.

We just started on mice,
don't get carried away.

There's still a long way to go.

It's going to be one hurdle after another.

Whatever.

Good job. You did good.

Isn't she beautiful?

Good job.

Good job, everyone.

-Good job.
-Nice work.

DELIVERY ROOM

NEW MESSAGE FROM EVE KIM

EVE KIM

Wait a second.

What is this?

I'm sorry, but could you
take a look at it first, Doctor?

Is it what I think it is?

I'm sorry?

Does it look okay?

Is this really a baby?

What is?

Yes, it's a 12-week-old fetus,
about 5.4 centimeters.

I'm scared to death
we're going to get caught.

It's not like we are committing a crime.

What would people in Seoul say
if they found out we were secretly dating?

Let's go see the stars.

The baby's arms and legs
are moving a lot, which is good.

Amniotic fluid level is also fine.

Really?

Hurry, get out of here.

Could you tell me if the baby's organs
are developing normally?

Is there no sign of deformity?

No.

The brain is symmetrical
and shaped like a butterfly.

The lower body and both legs…

Let's see, the knees,
calf bones, and tibia

are all developing normally.

The placenta looks good too.

Normally, when a fetus
is about 5 centimeters,

it has a heart, stomach, kidneys,
and all the other organs,

but they're just not visible
on the ultrasound.

The cervix seems a bit short, though.

But, Commander,

this doesn't look like
it was taken by a professional.

Who took this ultrasound?

Who is the mother?

Please, don't tell anyone.
I'm begging you.

Of course. I am, after all, a doctor.

What can I do to help?

Can I ask you one more thing?

Yes, anything.

When passing through
the Earth's atmosphere,

the crew experiences a force of 4G.

Can a fetus withstand a force of 4G?

Commander…

even though the baby

is in the mother's womb
and is being protected by her womb,

a force of 4G

could cause a sudden change
in the mother's blood pressure,

potentially cutting off
the baby's oxygen supply temporarily.

So, in other words…

Yes, the baby could die.

The chances of it dying are high,
Commander.

Dr. Gong.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to continue my studies
in the place I was going to live

after I got pregnant.

Come with me.

You should
continue your studies too, Dr. Gong.

What would be the point?

I'm sick of it all.
It would be useless anyway.

I'm sorry.

I'm the one who's sorry.

I can't sleep at night because
I feel like I ruined your life, Dr. Gong.

Please take some time
to think about it then come.

I'll set everything up.

I'm not using the chairman's money.

Dr. Gong, in my eyes,
there's no other ob-gyn like you.

You're the best.

I'm not confident
delivering babies anymore.

It was a terrifying and frightening thing.

I had no fear back then.

Now, I feel like

every baby I deliver is going to die.

-Eve.
-Eve.

Eve.

What are you going to do?

Aren't you scared?

Of course, I'm scared.

Does the father know?

I'm going to have to tell him.

Who is it?

It happened when Gong Ryong and I
were left here alone.

Here?

Of all places,
I can't believe it was here.

Isn't this kid amazing?

When he finds out,
he's going to be shocked too.

Will he hate the baby too…

since he's disappointed in me?

If I decide to go back to Earth,

will this baby understand me?

It probably already knows
I'm having these doubts.

What should I do?

When I wake up tomorrow morning,

I just wish we're both back on Earth.

Why are you being so foolish
when you already know the answer?

You have to go back down.

How could this baby have come
to someone like me?

What does it see in me
that makes it trust me

so completely,
depending on me for everything?

It's so heartbreaking it makes me angry.

EVE

EVE

JEON YI-MAN

I can't believe this. Come on already!

The person you called is…

Pick up the phone.
Please pick up the phone.

-Enjoy your dinner.
-Thank you.

Hwa-ja, the assorted jeon is ready.
Table five.

Got it, table five.

You little brat.

Have you given up on life?

I heard this place has amazing jeon.

Oh, it's here. Oh, that's a lot.

Wow, it looks good.

Come on, let's dig in.

EVE

Stop getting in the way
and go change the music.

-Can we get some water here?
-I'll get you more water.

Come on, answer.

Ryong, answer the phone. Please, answer!

Come on, pick up.

-Dr. Jeon, we're ready for you.
-Oh, yes.

Got it, I'll be right there.

The person you called is…

You're driving me crazy, come on.

JEON YI-MAN

JEON YI-MAN

Oxygen supply and power in all modules

are now functioning normally.

The station is safer and better
than it was before the accident.

You did a good job.

How's your health?

It's good.

Time to get ready to head down.

Let me know if there's anything else
I need to take up with me, Eve.

No, there's nothing.

Now all that's left is to pack.

Are you all packed?

Well? Did you pack everything?

There's nothing more to consider.
You're going down, Eve.

Let's go pack.

I'll pack everything.

This is between the three of us.
This never happened.

The baby won't make it anyway.

I don't want this to get out and ruin Eve.

If I have to, I'll use force

to get you on the spacecraft.

We have to go down.

We're all going down.

Are you worried I'll die up here?

Are you?

Yes.

Yes.

I'm scared you're going to die.

I'm not going to die.

Why is it beating so fast?

Hey, Ryong!

Where did you go this early?

Also, answer your phone, damn it!

Are you in touch with the commander?

She's not a commander anymore.

Did you sleep with her?

Did you sleep with her here in Seoul?

-No, I didn't.
-You didn't?

Then whose baby…

This is driving me nuts.

If it's been 12 weeks,
it's right around that time.

Or did she sleep with someone else?

-Get out.
-What?

Get out.

Hang on a second.

Holy sh*t!

I don't know much
about zero-gravity, okay?

Although you feel uncomfortable,
he knows better than I do.

I didn't say anything.
I didn't say a word.

Answer it! Answer the phone!

EVE KIM

-Hey.
-What?

Why does this woman keep calling you?

What, since I'm not picking up,
she's calling every guy she knows?

Am I the only loser
who still has feelings for her

that I can't even answer her calls?

Why are you asking me

whether she slept with me
or some other guy?

Damn it.

NEW MESSAGE FROM EVE KIM

The baby's heart rate is too fast.

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

WHEN THE STARS GOSSIP

I'm pregnant.

It's been three months.

-We should try for a baby again, too.
-Are you crazy?

Wow, he must be crazy.

I still can't forgive my mother.

I refuse to give up on my life

and the life of my baby.

There's only one person

who would be willing to risk their life.

Please let me go and be by Eve's side.

Please, I'm begging you.
