1985, Sector 7 located near Jeju Island

30M YOU SHOULD SEE IT

Approaching 8202 ft

Target in sight

Confirm cause of malfunction

Not doing the job right the first time

Couldn't agree more. What's the problem?

Looks like the drill bit's stuck.

Can you fix it?

Give me a minute

Beautiful



Cute bastards

Control room! Control room! Jeong-man!

Sector 7

2011, Present

Get out of the way

Grab the top drive.

We got a problem in the riser

Check the well bore

Lower the pipe

- Here! Take over.
- Got it.

Lock the valves

Hold the driver.

One, two.

One, two, push.



Hardass! Control the pressure.

Launch the pipe.

Launch the pipe.

Now

Pull it up.

One, two

- Push.
- Okay.

Hardass, you okay?

No success... Again.

Let's face it, Sector 7 is a botch.

What's the problem?

The drill goes idle at RPM 15,000.
Don't think it's a technical issue.

Stop babbling and explain in plain language.

Drill bit's stuck in the rock.

It's the location. Bad feng shui.

Do we have the readings?

Hey, Hardass.

Where do we drill next?

Are you new to the business?
We miss more than we hit.

You boys have no patience.

You know how much the company's paying
for your futile attempts?

I'm not competent and you have no passion.

That's why we get nothing.

The attitude runs in the genes.

Come again?

I'll find oil here no matter what.
You'll see.

And when I do, there'll be nothing for you.

- Let's take a walk.
- Don't touch me.

When she finds oil, she'll be drinking it.

Roll left, roll right.

Roll forward not. Roll backward.

Roll sideways. Roll backward.

Head to the ground.

- Head to the ground.
- Head to the ground.

Did I do something wrong?

No, sir.

Bend your knees and sit.

At ease.

- Something to upset you?
- No.

- Then, I must have hurt your feelings.
- No, never.

Then, tell me...

Why did you drop that pipe on my head?

Like this?

Do the cicada cling.

Cicada cling.

Didn't you leave something behind at home?

Excuse me?

You know.

I'm not sure.

Apprehension.

Discipline? Brain, perhaps?

Should have packed them in your luggage.

Call your mom and have them shipped over.

Call your mommy, too.

- Sir.
- Don't bother.

Who brought him on board?

You did.

No, I didn't. He happened
to be on the same boat.

What was I thinking trying
to find oil with these morons?

It's oil.

Does that look like oil to you?

It's anything but!

What is that?

Hae-jun, are you almost done?

Hold still.

Quit playing Rambo. I gave you anesthetic.

Don't make a fuss.

Hey.

You find this funny?

I can't tell which one's the boy.

I ask myself the same question.

Do you guys ever get romantic?

It's bad feng shui.

Did I forget the anesthetic?

Didn't I give a shot?

Sorry, sweetie.

What the hell are they?

You got the profile?

They're from chemosynthetic ecosystem.

Chemo-what?

Korean, please.

Follow me.

Let me show you.

This is the photosynthetic ecosystem
where we live in sunlight.

This is the chemosynthetic ecosystem,

where no sunlight reaches.

They've come a long way.
How did they end up here?

Driven by shortage of food, perhaps.

Ecosystems apart, survival is still a bitch.

But the environment is completely different.

Must have mutated.

Like we adapted to living on this oil rig.

Can't you adapt to poor Chi-sun
like they adapted?

Hello, little fella?

- What's wrong?
- You okay, man?

Did you bite or get bitten?

- Are you alright?
- I'm alright, I'm alright.

- Which number again?
-No. 2

I told you a million times. It's no. 3.

No. 3

What carefully, dimwit.

What do you want?

- Well, I...
- I'm busy.

Of course...

I didn't know how to express my feeling.

So, I got you this. Please accept it.

I made myself clear already.

You're wasting your time and mine.

Is he that bad?

If you were me... Seriously?

He looks like a dried anchovy.

And, those ridiculous lips?

Maybe we should swap partners?

No, thanks. I like mine.

What did he get you this time?

It's my present.

You said you didn't want it.

Pathetic.

It's pretty.

- You want it?
- Really?

No.

Snob.

All crew on board, assemble
at control room immediately.

What now?

We got the order to pack up.

It doesn't mean our endeavor was in vain.

Jeez, where is your backbone?

Cha Hae-jun.

We left our families and been through hell,

only to quit like this?

Shame on you all.

There is no shame. We tried everything.

To the point the entire
underwater terrain orphed.

It's my fault that we never found oil?

Not just your fault.

Sector 7 didn't bless us.

It's everyone's failure.

A failure?

Failing is not the problem.
Your giving up is.

I'm not going anywhere.

Hae-jun.

Stubborn as a mule.

Damn it.

How come it's always war
between you and the captain?

Aren't you tired?

Shut up.

That bastard.

He never cared about finding oil.

We're packing because he has no faith.

Jeong-man will join us
to oversee the withdrawal.

Good.

He and I can drill together.

Why are you so obsessed with Sector 77?

Because there is oil together.

We drilled more than 100 boreholes.

If there was any oil,
we'll have found it by now.

Screw you.

People and machine alike... Damn you all.

Uncle Jeong-man.

Sweetheart.

How have your been?

Good. You've become a real pro.

Living on land treated you well.
You're looking great.

I've always been a head-turner.

- You look great yourself.
- Yeah?

All grown up and manly.

- Good to see you.
- You too.

Why tidy up, if we're leaving anyway?

Hey, man.

- You've been well?
- Not really.

Things have been different since you left.

A professional's gotta work
with a professional.

Shush.

I'm the amateur captain, Hwang.

An Jeong-man

- Nice to meet you, master.
- Me, too.

It's an honor.

The honor is all mine.

Why don't you unpack first?

Stop poking the meat.

Cheers, everybody.

- Chi-sun.
- Huh?

You gotta put your heart into in

Please try some.

Thanks.

What happened to your lips?

Well...

He got bitten.

Who bit who, you'd wonder...

Looks like more than one bite.

Talking of bite marks,

I'll show you a real badass bite mark.

Pacific Sector 9, 27140 ft below sea level.

Sumatran offshore oil field

Got bitten by a shark right here.

Just an inch shy of severing
the spinal cord,

and ending up six feet under.

Six feet under, my ass.

You burned yourself on a pressure pipe.

But, it hurt like a bitch.
As much as a shark bite.

For a real shark bite, you gotta ask master.

No.

Come on, show us.

Please?

If you insist.

I'm putting mine away.

I'll pass on shark fin soup.

I got this scar when I fell
in the oil reserve pit.

They had to cut me open
to clean up my inside.

It hurts.

Belly got oiled up.

How about you, captain?

Go on, show us.

You must have a glorious scar somewhere.

A scar.

Isn't it a sign of carelessness?

Yeah, right.

I figured you had something covered
under the long sleeves.

My glorious scar is embedded
deep in the heart.

When you're exposed to hot seawater of 120°

The pressure cracks up your skin.

Not something Captain Theory
would understand.

Don't throw cold water on our conversation.

She has a talent for that.
My talent is reviving it.

I wasn't gonna reveal my other scar...

A cut so deep that it never closed up

- Keep your pants on.
- Don't stop me.

I'm gonna do what I have to do.

Let me see your face.

You're all grown up.

A big girl now.

Here, deep under the ocean.

My dad must be waiting.

Of course.

If I leave like this,

how am I gonna see him again?

Do we really have to go?

How will I ever find him?

How?

Uncle Jeong-man,

I'm gonna find oil no matter what.

What are you saying?

I can talk to the board.
Get a few more months.

That's not what you're here for.

Captain.

Did you see the look on their faces.

If we go back now, we're nothing
but defeated soldiers.

They're not waiting for us.
They're waiting for oil.

If we find oil, you get all the credit.

- But...
- If anything goes wrong,

I'll take the fall.

I spent 10 years of my life in Sector 7.

Have some faith in me.

Sweet Saudi Arabia under our feet.

I missed this sound.

She will be waiting for us
just like we have.

It's time.

Let's go meet petroleum.

- Here I come.
- Me, too.

- Drill on.
- I'll give it my best.

Let's go.

We hit the gas layer. Change course.

Connect the pipes. Hold the top driver.

3 months later

You must've had a lot of free time.

Bring on the challenge.

Fine! A big curve coming up.

Good shot.

Give me two of those. Just hand them over.

This one's a random throw.
You'll never get this.

- My money's on Hae-jun.
-Mine, too.

Give it.

Happy now?

I can take 10 kisses instead.

Where are you going?

Really?

Hey.

Hey, I'm doing your job.

- Be my supervisor from now.
- Sure.

- Feel free to talk down to me.
- Scrub it properly.

Sir, would you like a smack in the head?

I was kidding.

You can't call that a kiss.

You don't kiss your daddy like that.

A proper kiss or my money.

A proper kiss or my money.

I owe her some money.
Can I pay you with my kisses?

- You're going in with me?
- Yes.

I had a few hiccups with the crane
but diving is my specialty.

Take him down now.

I prefer him underneath me any day
than above me.

- Stop.
- Stop.

See you later.

Give us a hand.

Something broke?

Grab the belt.

They always break down.

Can you fix it?

No, dummy.

How is it?

Exciting.

Watch out.

Hyeon-wu.

Hyeon-wu.

Hyeon-wu.

Hold it.

- What happened?
- Pull it up.

Pull harder.

- Pull!
- Harder!

Hyeon-wu.

Hyeon-wu.

Harder!

Pull harder!

No!

Hyeon-wu.

Hyeon-wu.

Hyeon-wu.

Hyeon-wu.

Hae-jun.

Let me go. Hyeon-wu!

It's okay, baby.

Gotta go back for him.

- Hyeon-wu.
- Hae-jun.

Hyeon-wu.

Hae-jun.

How are you feeling?

Hey.

Hae-jun.

During the accident...

Did you notice...?

Can I come in?

I'll come back.

You scared me.

Booze fell from the sky.

What's the matter with him?

No time to hit on a girl.

Is there really no place for me?

I want to show you how I feel.

I'll go talk to him.

Let him be.

Where did she fall from?

Top of the derrick.

What was she doing up there?

Cause of death?

Contusions and lacerations from the fall.

Is it suicide?

Considering the circumstances,
nothing suggests murder,

Draw up a death certificate,
suicide as C.O.D.

I'll get the rest of the paperwork.

What's the rush? There is a procedure.

What are you insinuating?

We should notify the police
and arrange transfer of the body.

Did anyone here have a reason to kill her?

Did she have a reason to take her own life?

They can't get a chopper up in this weather.

Let's talk about the report later.

Wait.

We have a problem.

Could this be... semen?

Where the hell is he?

Bastard.

What do you want, man?

Where are you going?

Come here.

They always return to the crime scene.

You should feel the same pain.

I know your love hurt but,
you can't do this.

Why did you do it?

Say it.

But, I was in my room.

The derrick is your room?

Help me.

Please!

This semen looks funny,

or is it something else?

We got him.

What did you do, man?

Look what you have done.

Look.

Oh, God! Hyeon-jeong.

I swear I didn't do it.

I saw you up there with her.

Stop crying already.

I really didn't do it.

Fine.

We'll find the truth with a DNA test.

I'll need a sample of your hair.

Something is wrong.

What is?

Hyeon-jeong wanted to tell me something.

Where are you going?

Come in.

Is that you, captain?

What have you got for me?

Doc is dead.

What?

Uncle?

What happened here?

Who would do something like this?

Her body's gone, too.

He knew that the doc will reveal the truth.

He killed doc to shut him up.

Did you securely lock him up?

I'm sure.

Then, how did he Kill doc?

He's gone mad.

We need to remain calm.

We gotta kill him before he gets to us.

Psycho murderer.

Let's go check on him.

It may not be Chi-sun.

He's not himself anymore. He's a psychopath.

Hello...?

Hello...?

Anybody?

- Are you sure?
- I tied him up here.

You see? He escaped and killed doc.

Where did he go?

Wait.

Why did you do it? Tell us.

What happened to you?

Monster...

What?

We gotta get outta here.

There's a monster on the rig.

Stop there.

Hae-jun.

You take that way.

Jong-yun.

Hello? Hello?!

Satellite phone is dead.

There is noting.

It's not power failure. What's the problem?

How did it go?

Chi-sun was right. We gotta get outta here.

- What are you saying?
- You're not making any sense.

Everyone's going insane.

What's wrong with you, man?

I was them with my own eyes.

The monster killed both Hyeon-jeong and doc.

What are you doing?

Uncle.

I gotta see for myself.

If it's true, it must be out
hunting for more food.

It'll soon be our turn.

I'll come with you.

Don't go.

We're not going?

The best strategy is to stay in one place.

Just go with them.

If you insist.

- It's us.
- It's us.

Copy. Come to us.

Okay.

Hurry.

I had to convince him to come...

I don't have a clear shot.

Move the clutter.

Get the clutter out.

Clutter, now.

What is he doing?

The clutter! Quickly.

Quickly.

Quickly...?

Shit!

You okay, man?

- Why did you clap, man?
- Oh, the clutter...

Run!

Run.

No, not there.

Hold your breath.

- Hold him.
- I got him.

Sounds like a sigh of relief.

Why did you come back?

What are you talking about?

I know you volunteered.

- You knew something.
- Stop it.

He threw the lighter
when the beast's skin ruptured.

At the monster's body fluid.

The liquid was flammable.

Like petroleum.

You know the beast.

Why do you have that lighter?

It belongs to Hyeon-jeong.

You're hiding something.

He can't be. Uncle, tell us he's wrong.

4 people have died. We don't know
how many more.

It lasts for over 24 hours.

20 years ago, we made an amazing discovery.

It's been over 30 hours, that tiny thing.

Temperature?

Over 1200°C, isn't that amazing?

It's the oil itself.

We discovered new fuel.

Our country could produce our own fuel.

But, it's a living organism.

You said you'd do anything
to find a drop of oil.

But, it's a living organism.

This isn't right.

Soon after, they caused an accident.

Therefore, Sector 7 was shut down.

But finding oil resumed last year.

I started breeding one of them
again with Hyeon-jeong.

Then something horrible happened.

You created a monster.

People are in danger.

It's worth the risk.

You're becoming a monster.
I must tell the others.

I'll tell them myself when the time comes.

Let go of me.

Just hear me out.

You created that beast?

Instead of drilling for oil,
you were breeding a monster.

I'm sorry. I got them killed.

Blood is on my hands.

Sector 7 was our dream. Dream of a lifetime.

Hae-jun.

People died because of you.
I'll never forgive you.

I'll pay for what I did.

But, we gotta get out of here now.

You leave! I'll never abandon Sector 7.

We gotta go now.

Look what you have done.

Put the power back on. We gotta escape.

Now.

Get away.

Help Jong-yun.

- Let's go.
- Hurry.

Forget about me. Just go.

Captain, take Jong-yun to the mini sub.

We should stick together.

Someone's gotta put the power back on.

In engine room? But, it's crawling
with beasts.

Hae-jun.

It's the only chance we got.

If I don't come back, don't wait up.

Be careful.

You okay?

Promise you won't leave me.

You'll see me in action
at the crucial moment.

Crucial moment?

Hae-jun.

Do you smell that?

They made it. Let's get to the sub.

Did you see that?

The skin is a fucking armor.

Jong-yun.

- Jong-yun.
- Forget about him.

No! Jong-yun.

Hurry.

Run.

Wait! Wait for us!

Jong-yun.

Help us.

Sang-go.

No!

Hang on, man.

You should've left.

You shouldn't gone, man.

This is the crucial moment.

Go, save yourself.

Go on.

No, man!

Don't let go.

- No.
- Save yourself.

No.

Jong-yun, no!

Jong-yun.

No!

Where is he going?

Wait for us! Wait.

Is there any other way?

It's a blow out.

We gotta turn it off.

How do we stop this?

Only the captain can.

Hae-jun.

Hae-jun.

Dong-su.

Dong-su.

Hae-jun.

Dong-su.

Dong-su.

Dong-su.

Dong-su.

Hae-jun.

You...

Pull me up.

Dong-su.

Look out...

Dong-su.

Run!

Dong-su!

Run.

No.

Go!

Stop!

Stop!

Go, now.

Stop!

No!

No!

Target in sight. Target in sight.
Target in sight.

Approaching.

We're always here.

- Our lives are deep in the ocean.
- Captain.

- One dream.
- Jeong-man.

- Daddy's coming home.
- Sang-go.

- I'll get married this year.
- Jong-yun.

- The ocean is beautiful because it holds oil.
- Hyeon-jeong.

Your smile makes me happy, Hae-jun!
Smile for me always!

Sector 7 is a vast offshore oil field

located 8,000 ft below sea level
in the southern tip of Jeju Island.

And is believed to hold
100 billion barrels of oil.

In 1978, Korean and Japanese
governments signed

a 50-year joint oil development program,

but with Japan's withdrawal in 1986,
the project was put on hold indefinitely.

If the development fails to resume by 2028,

Sector 7 will become subject
to territorial dispute.
