Happiness- Episode 11

        The Sacrifice 

 


Episode 11 of Happiness begins with our killer unveiling who he really is. With a gun pointed at Sae-Bom, Andrew takes Sae-Yoon away. Just before they leave the apartment, Sae-Bom promises to find her and bring the girl back.
In the apartment, Sae-Bom and Yi-Hyun work together to try and fix up Jung-Kook. He’s in a rough way though, as Sae-Bom makes another promise. This time that they’ll all leave this place alive.

In order to do that, Yi-Hyun strikes up a deal with Tae-Seok, learning that Sae-Bom has antibodies in her blood that could be used to try and fight off this infection. That gives them leverage to level against the official.

Now, things take a further turn in the apartment complex when the others gather in the gym downstairs. It turns out the Building Rep and Joo-Hyeong were both aware of this killer’s intentions. In fact, Joo-Hyeong has known for a few days, since the cleaning lady was butchered.

Their meeting is broken up by Andrew returning and bringing Yi-Hyun and Sae-Bom into the gym. Their radio is slid across thee floor, as our two protagonists confirm they’ve been liaising with Tae-Seok on the outside. They’ve been feeding back everything they’ve been up to, including the fight for food and mutiny. While some are indifferent, Se-Kyu and Moon-Hee look genuinely shocked and ashamed at their actions.

Andrew smiles evilly, telling them that the only way he’ll agree to let Seo-Yoon go is if they switch the electricity back on in the building. Dong-Hyun goes with them, down to the parking lot. He intends to try and drive away, even if it means smashing into the barricades to do so.While Yi-Hyun and Sae-Bom manage to get out, Dong-Hyun is not so lucky. Inside his car, he’s completely surrounded.
Meanwhile, Yi-Hyun’s bite is finally revealed to Se-Bom. As the infected try and pull him out of the elevator, his shirt opens up and it’s shown. “I’m sorry I didn’t keep my promise,” He says, as she throws her arms around him and begins weeping.

Upstairs, the despicable Joo-Hyeong finally meets his match. After almost suffocating Jung-Kook with a pillow, it’s Sang-Hee who gets the last laugh. She grabs a golf club and smacks him upside the head while he’s on his laptop.

Another character who almost gets their comeuppance here is our slimy lawyer, Hae-Sung. His wife, So-Yoon, locks him outside the apartment in a bid to try and knock some sense into him. Sae-Bom soon shows though and is reunited with Sae-Yoon, who happens to be inside. All of them band together and head for the rooftop.

With Tae-Seok imminently due to arrive at their location, Andrew heads up to the roof to stop their escape. Yi-Hyun sacrifices himself to make sure the others are safe, handcuffing the door and making sure Andrew can’t get to them. Yi-Hyun throws the key off the edge and turns, biting Andrew and infecting him too.

Down in the parking lot, Sae-Bom drives out the apartment complex with Sae-Yoon, where soldiers are ready to pick them up. Only, Tae-Seok injects her and takes the young woman to their facility. This isn’t what Sae-Bom wanted though, desperate to find Yi-Hyun and bring him back too. It’s clear she’s grown true affection for him and as she sits in her room, she plays videos of Yi-Hyun and struggles to hold back her sobs.
