CANAAN Episode 5

Summary:
Not knowing what Canaan went through, Maria sticks with Yunyun on her
houseboat. She learns that Yunyun is a migrant worker, and she’s so
comfortable on the houseboat that she doesn’t want to leave, so Yunyun
gives her a key before running off to work. Unbeknownst to Maria,
Yunyun works for Liang Qi, and Liang Qi assigns Yunyun today to infect
a visiting Japanese vice-minister with the UA Virus. Yunyun panics upon
hearing this because she’s afraid of running into Canaan, but Liang Qi
doesn’t mind if Yunyun dies. Yunyun thus has no choice but to go try
for a job at Santana’s cosplay karaoke bar, and she manages to get it
after Hakko recognizes her. When the vice-minister shows up at the bar
for some entertainment, Yunyun tries to slip something into his drink,
but he rejects her in favor of Hakko. To make matters worse, Minoru and
Maria return to the bar as well after Maria had gone back to their
hotel room and after they had talked about the blood vessel marking.

Yunyun manages to escape without being seen by Maria, but while she’s
moping around outside, she’s found by Canaan. She happens to have a gun
but doesn’t know how to use it, so Canaan shows her, but Canaan ends up
taking the gun from her. Canaan tries to get Yunyun to reveal what she
knows about Alphard, but Yunyun doesn’t know anything, and before
Canaan can really threaten her, Maria comes running to her rescue. When
Maria asks Canaan not to kill Yunyun, it hurts Canaan because she
realizes that Maria sees her as a murderer, so she runs off. While
Maria is crying over what she did to Canaan, Yunyun gets a phone call
from Liang Qi instructing her to use Maria and her own life to kill
Canaan. With no other choice, Yunyun dons a cape and drags Maria onto
the top of a bridge. She then starts yelling for Canaan and reveals
that she’s wearing a ton of dynamite around her waist. Canaan shows up
despite Maria thinking that she wouldn’t, so Yunyun lights the fuse to
the dynamite and charges at her.

Canaan easily jumps out of Yunyun’s way, but when Yunyun loses her
footing and falls off the bridge, Canaan grabs her arm to save her.
Yunyun uses this chance to pull Canaan down with her, and the two fall
into the water below. Canaan tries to get Yunyun to let go of her, and
when she can’t, she considers using her knife against Yunyun. However,
she then remembers Maria and decides against doing that. Moments later,
a giant explosion rips through the water, but Canaan and Yunyun emerge
from the water unscathed. When Yunyun questions why Canaan didn’t kill
her, Canaan explains that it’s because she doesn’t want Maria to feel
sad. Meanwhile, Cummings administers the UA Virus to the unknowing
vice-minister via an acupuncture needle. Back at the hotel, Minoru
finds the three girls together and notices the marking on Yunyun’s
butt. Yunyun reveals that it’s from when she became a Borner, and it
had to do with the disappearance of her village.

Connecting everything together, Minoru questions her about what ability
she has, however it turns out that Yunyun just has two appendixes, so
she doesn’t have any powers. Yunyun feels worthless, but Maria refuses
to let her believe that and points out how hard Yunyun works and how
she helped Maria and Canaan reconcile. Maria considers them friends
now, and, if she intends to run away from Hebi, Minoru promises to help
Yunyun with money in exchange for her acting as a correspondent for
them. What they don’t realize is that Liang Qi isn’t concerned about
Yunyun at all. She believes that Yunyun will be back because the
Borners can’t sustain their lives without the medicine that she has
control over. Not returning is the same as choosing death.
