(suspenseful music)

Hurry up. Which way?

-Where? -In the basement.

-The basement? -The basement.

(panting)

There. Hurry up. Hurry.

(grunting)

(groans)

(screams)

(grunts)

(yells)

(both panting)

Where is she?

(panting)

Where is she? Tell me.

I don't know.

-(gunfire) -(screams)

Where is the woman?

I don't know.

I really don't.

I don't know who she is. She's a complete stranger.

After locking me up here, she only comes to give me food.

I don't know either.

Why did she help you?

MANOK: I don't know.

I asked her too.

But she wouldn't tell me.

I've never even heard her voice.

(pants) I swear.

-(door opens) -Damn it.

Please go up and call the police...

Please call Songje Station and tell Chief Go

that the convenience store suspect has been caught.

Yes, ma'am.

(panting)

Is he really the culprit?

With that woman... What was it?

The murderer?

Open this!

He's been here all along? In this station?

JANITRESS: Detective.

I told you not to come back here. It's dangerous.

Well... Can I have another look at the picture you showed me?

The woman.

(suspenseful music)

My goodness. It looks just like her looking at it again.

STAFF: Have you seen her?

JANITRESS: You also saw her earlier, Detective.

The lady who was harassed by those guys.

What?

I thought she was a homeless person when I first saw her.

In this station?

I'm not sure if there is any.

Because she kept washing up at the station.

When did she start... No.

Do you know where she is...

Damn it.

Well... I don't know where she is either.

(siren blaring)

Where?

This way! Please follow me!

Hey! Jung Saebyeok!

Why did you come here alone?

What if you got hurt, you punk?

I'm sorry.

-What are you waiting for? -Okay, sir.

Let's go.

For God's sake.

Good job.

What about the woman?

-Please collect the things here. -Yes, ma'am.

It seems that she bought food from restaurants.

What?

-Collect all of them. They're important. -Yes, sir.

We'll have to check the restaurants then.

More importantly,

if you take him, she might show up.

I don't know why, but she's been helping him get away.

If she shows up, please catch her.

What? Aren't you coming with us?

I wasn't mistaken when I said she disappeared into thin air.

You really need to be cautious.

CHIEF: Okay.

I don't know how I'm going to catch such a person,

but I'll try my best.

Jeez, he's been locked up in a place that suits him just perfectly.

My goodness.

EPISODE 6

Get in.

(car engine rumbles)

(siren blaring)

(thudding in distance)

(thudding continues)

(foreboding music)

The clerk said she paid in cash

but seemed to be a little short on cash.

SAEHA: Everything from here to here?

Yes. But she didn't get them to go.

She ate them all by herself here. I thought that was unusual.

-Did she speak Korean? -Yes.

Did she stammer when she spoke? Or did she look like an alien...

I mean, a foreigner fluent in Korean?

She said she didn't seem like a foreigner at all.

Nothing peculiar about her appearance either.

I guess she didn't buy that many for someone else.

-You mean the convenience store murderer? -Yes.

Without weapons or the teleportation device,

she may be just an ordinary person.

She eats like us after all.

So we mustn't inflict any injuries on her.

She may easily get hurt.

We must catch her alive and intact no matter what.

Could sugar be the energy source that she uses to teleport?

Or maybe she can only break down sugar.

The clerk said she ate through her mouth and spoke Korean.

It may not be as it seems. What if she's equipped with an automatic translator?

Like the universal translator from Star Trek.

Maybe she uses holograms to change her appearance.

It's great that we found out about this.

Putting out an APB on her paid off.

Sure. Good job, Mr. Song Eojin.

Thank you.

EMPLOYEE: One moment, please.

Jongyi. Please move over a bit.

(suspenseful music)

(phone buzzing)

HEAD OF CONTROL: What did you see?

Boy, I hope it'll be helpful.

Jeez, I can't wait for this to end. For God's sake.

This is a smoke-free building.

(clicks tongue)

I heard you used to work on the Grid Control Team.

Yes.

No wonder you're different.

-Me? -Yes.

Who are you comparing me to?

The Deputy Director.

And what was his name? The one with the Grid failure idea.

-Kim Saeha. -Yeah, him.

Jeez, that was such an absurd idea.

He knows nothing about our work, for God's sake.

He used to work on the Grid Control Team too.

-What? -Only for six months, though. While...

I worked there for four years.

Then did he also cause trouble and get transferred to the Secretariat?

I didn't cause trouble. I only pointed out what was wrong.

Oh, yes. I know. I've briefly heard about it.

(sucks teeth)

As you know, there are still many people on my team who got their jobs

through personal connections.

So I was thinking

it'd help me a lot if there were a senior officer like you

who could keep them under control in the middle.

Jeez, kids these days don't step forward even if they see a problem.

What a shame. (clicks tongue)

So...

what did you see in the Deputy Director's office?

(pensive music)

The founder of the Grid.

Who saw the founder?

So? Is it a person?

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

SAEHA: Shouldn't we prepare for it?

Prepare for what?

If we're unarmed, we might lose her.

Shouldn't we lower the security level and bring in weapons?

Everyone seems okay to you, right?

If the operation drags on, there will be renegades.

Among us.

Do we have to worry about that?

Shouldn't we worry about that?

Joining our enemy. Isn't that the problem with traitors or renegades?

If anyone joins her side, that'll be good news for us

since it'll at least form a link.

I guess you've only seen decent lunatics.

Fanatical employees that believe the Ghost is mankind's savior.

Applicants who believed the Grid was created by cults

and wanted to blow up the control room.

And executives who got caught selling inside information

about the Ghost to magazine publishers.

I've seen all kinds of lunatics in the past 24 years.

Among our team members?

Those who made it into the AB?

There was a time when we had more freedom here.

They keep information confidential and run many different teams for a reason.

Humans are always the problem in the end.

They're all out.

Specialists from all fields are trying to figure out the reason

why the Grid isn't working properly,

but there hasn't been any noticeable progress yet.

If they fail to figure out the reason and fix the problem,

the magnetic fields of the Earth will stop functioning properly.

Ms. Choi. Kim Manok has been arrested.

-Where is he? -His arrest was just on the news.

He's at Songje Police Station.

Damn it. We have everything set up. Why now of all times?

They should've just kept their mouths shut about it. What terrible timing!

The police announced it immediately because of all the disturbance.

To tell us to stop...

MS. CHOI: That issue was brought up from the start.

You've never cared about it,

but to cover up for your ex-wife now...

The only thing the Ghost has done this time is help Kim Manok.

And he's been arrested, so she'll come for him.

We must make her come here.

Whether it's for the Grid or Kim Manok,

she must come to us.

EOJIN: Then I'll go and take care of it.

Ms. Choi.

Where is she going?

Ms. Choi.

Stay out of your wife's business.

(car engine rumbles)

She's my ex.

Ex-wife!

(tires screech)

(suspenseful music)

I'm on my way now, so don't hand him over to her, Captain.

She's here.

Gosh.

I told you to have him ready for me.

-Did you guys catch him? -Did you?

One of my men did.

Isn't a felon always handed over to the violent crimes unit?

Inspector Go Hanseung. Answer me.

Is it unreasonable to hand him over to the branch in charge?

-(sighs) -Come on. You always barge in like this...

(approaching footsteps)

(sighs)

We do all the hard work, and you always take the credit.

Good job.

I can't explain the details, but we have no time to lose.

Bring Kim Manok now.

If you delay it any longer, your hard work may be for nothing.

(sighs)

Bring him.

(door closes)

Hey.

(grunts)

I was wondering why you weren't here...

Hey.

Did you think I'd let you walk all over me again?

-Shoot me. -No.

Shoot. We don't have time.

Both you and I know that I won't shoot you.

It's no use if you don't shoot me.

We could stay like this for good. Or I could just kill that guy.

-Has he opened his mouth? -Yes.

He admitted to his crime but denied the rest.

Then let's just kill him.

Hey, Jung Saebyeok!

The woman appeared because of him in the first place.

If he dies, she'll leave. Then everything will go back to normal.

(tense music)

Investigator Jung Saebyeok.

You saw the woman with your own eyes.

You can't handle her. You're just wasting our time.

Can the AB, then?

Why did you lie and say that the Grid was broken?

Are you waiting for her?

You've gathered a lot of information.

So?

If you're taking him because you can't trust us,

I want to see how reliable the Administration Bureau is.

If you want to see that, put that gun down.

We mustn't waste any more time.

(tense music)

Hey, you...

Be careful. All right?

Ms. Choi.

-Are you really taking her with us? -Stop her if you can.

She associated the breakdown of the Grid with the woman.

That means she knows the origin of the Grid.

My colleague?

SAEBYOEK (over phone): Was it Mr. Kim Saeha's idea?

How do you know him?

How would an investigator know that?

I have no idea.

How did you catch him?

I assumed that Kim Manok would be left at the station.

Hmm.

When we arrive, I'll introduce someone to you.

I'd like you to teach him a lesson.

Oh, you've already met him.

You mean the major?

I think the Secretariat would suit you better than Mido Police Station.

Would it be awkward to work with your ex-husband though?

I doubt that's what matters.

Do you think Mr. Song feels the same way?

I didn't mean that.

It'll be bad if the operation fails, but what if it succeeds?

Whether or not I suit the Secretariat, will the AB even still be there?

That's what I meant.

It seems it was established to find the woman.

But once you find her... what next?

Why are you coming with us?

Because of your pride? To see how we handle it?

I know it's neither of them.

I'm sure you can't forget her because you saw her with your own eyes.

I only sensed her presence a very long time ago,

but I still remember it vividly.

Think about it.

If we learn the technology she has, how much will the world change?

How much will it help improve human life and advance human history?

I'm dying to know.

And we can lead that.

So we must capture her.

We must find out.

(keyboard clicking)

(phone buzzing)

Yes?

It's quiet here.

Pardon?

Okay.

Sir.

The Deputy Director is bringing two outsiders.

Outsiders?

One of them is armed,

so she wants you to make sure the alarm doesn't go off when they come in.

(foreboding music)

(high-frequency alarm blaring)

SECURITY (over PA): Alpha, 11th floor.

(alarm blaring)

Central hallway, 11th floor.

(suspenseful music)

Control room, 9th floor.

HEAD OF SECURITY (over radio): In front of the door.

AGENT: It's not clear which hand the teleportation device is in.

(thrilling music)

(alarm blaring)

Where'd she go?

(alarm blaring)

SECURITY: Alpha is in.

MAJOR (over radio): On the count of three, shoot the nearest arm from you.

One.

Two.

Three.

(gunshots)

Raise it to Level A.

Level A. We've been exposed.

Leave your gun here.

SAEBYEOK: As a police officer, I'm supposed...

Do you want to leave?

(phone buzzing)

-Yes? -JONGYI: The Ghost.

They're not tranquilizer rounds.

(thrilling music)

(gunfires)

(device clanks)

Ms. Choi!

(dramatic music)

(grunts)

(breathing heavily)

-(panting) -(grunts)

(approaching footsteps)

Ms. Choi...

(breathing heavily)

Come on.

It's cold.

Mr. Jo.

Mr. Jo!

She's really dead.

(breathing heavily)

(dramatic music)

JONGYI: You guys killed her. You...

-You fired live ammunition! -Hey!

She was aware that the Grid hadn't broken down.

It was a miracle that she showed up again in the lobby instead of vanishing.

We didn't lose her.

A miracle? A person just died.

Ms. Choi is your superior.

Are you going to leave her on the cold floor like this?

Hurry up and call an ambulance. Call her family too.

And take the culprit now.

-And Major. -Yes, sir.

(grunts)

Give me your guns, both of you.

-Are you crazy? -One of them killed Ms. Choi.

Give me your guns.

They were carrying out an operation.

If a cop kills an innocent citizen by mistake,

will you let it slide like this?

Tell me who killed her. Give me the guns!

They all use the same guns and bullets. Can you tell whose bullet shot her?

Every bullet and gun gets a unique scratch when fired.

It's distinctive like fingerprints.

Don't treat us like idiots.

Did you order them to use live ammunition, Mr. Jo?

If you let them leave, they'll switch their guns around.

Ms. Choi has passed away!

(sighs)

Give it to him.

Now.

This is an important time for us. Why did you...

Give it.

MR. JO: Everyone, let's sort this out and move.

Let's go.

Who's that?

I'm a detective from Songje Station.

I brought the culprit.

Security Manager, escort this detective.

Take the culprit too.

-I'm... -Let's talk later. All right?

Not now. Take good care of her.

I'll take that.

Please follow me.

(somber music)

(somber music continues)

(siren blaring)

The bullet.

Wait. Please open the door.

(sobbing)

(whimpers)

(door opens)

I'm sure she's gone to a better place.

Because she was a good person.

(inhales sharply)

Well, the minister will be here soon.

(breathes deeply)

So I'd better go.

(sighs)

(elevator dings)

(foreboding music)

(pants)

-MINISTER: How is it going? -MR. JO: We're scanning her now.

We got her ready, so you can see her when you get there.

I didn't expect this day would come.

Ah! I'm sorry, sir.

-Were you at the scene? -Yes, sir.

-You were at the meeting too, right? -Yes, sir.

(elevator dings)

(breathes deeply)

You're the one who suggested luring the woman here, right?

Yes, Minister.

Anyway, the operation was a success although the sacrifice was great.

Don't blame yourselves.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

What was the name of the Deputy Director?

MR. JO: It was Choi Seonul, sir.

(exhales deeply)

(elevator dings)

This way.

What did she say? Has she said anything yet?

She hasn't yet. But she will soon.

Did you feel hopeless now that Ms. Choi is gone?

Are you going to empty their trash cans too?

Are you even human?

-Thank you, Minister. -What?

What for?

If you hadn't given us permission then, we couldn't have come this far.

Don't mention it.

This way, sir.

(tense music)

You can see her up close.

(machine beeping)

(beeping continues)

(yelps)

(groans)

(breathing heavily)

(grunts)

(machine beeping)

(screams)

(coughs)

(screaming continues)

(grunts)

(panting)

We found it from a gamma-ray scan.

(machine beeping)

MINISTER: It's a chip.

A chip?

(whirring)

MR. JO: This is what we presume the role of the chip is.

It seems that the chip

transforms nerve signals from her brain into electronic signals.

And this metallic device seems to transform them into motor signals.

However,

what is inside the metallic device

or what functions it has

is still a mystery.

(tense music)

Hmm.

(camera shutter clicks)

(clicking continues)

Since the President is waiting,

I'll go and brief him on this.

Hmm...

I think he'll come here in person within a few days.

Don't you think you should have better results by then?

I mean, everything you have now is just speculation.

Yes, sir. We're currently doing a biopsy as well.

Once we get the DNA analysis results,

we'll find out how different she is from people today

and if her direct ancestors presently exist.

We'll figure out those things by tonight.

Well, things like those could be meaningful too.

But what really matters is the teleportation device.

SAEHA: No.

You have a lot of work to do. There's no need to come down.

Let's keep up the good work and proudly make good results.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Go see him out.

(sucks teeth)

All right.

I'm running out of time,

so I want you to handle trifling matters quickly on your own. Okay?

Major, find out as much as you can about the murderer.

-His relationship with the woman and such. -Yes, sir.

And... Hold on.

Oh, right. There's the detective too. Who on Earth brought her here?

At a crucial time like this. Talk to her nicely and send her away.

-Yes, sir. -Oh, by the way,

which one of you is the superior?

I am, sir.

Then you take care of the Secretariat for the time being.

All right? Now,

hurry up and move. Go.

Yes, sir. Come.

What are you doing? Go and send the detective away. All right?

Wait, you!

The senior!

Yes, you. Come here.

(thrilling music)

Me?

(machine beeping)

(snaps)

(gasps, grunting)

-(wheezing) -(machine beeping)

(grunting)

(pants)

(breathing heavily)

What's your name?

Where are you from?

MR. JO: No, not that!

Ask her what the mechanism is.

Entropic recursion? The quantum Hall effect?

What's the mechanism for teleportation?

What technology do you use?

Did you succeed in building the Grid at one go?

Answer me! How did you come here?

One more. Give her another shot.

Hurry.

(wheezing)

(machine beeping)

When were you born? In what year?

Two thousand...

Ninety-one.

The year 2091?

The year 2091?

How? What did you ride to come here?

How did you travel back in time?

No.

No...

Time...

doesn't flow.

(suspenseful music)

Why did you come here?

(thrilling music)

(exhales deeply)

If it weren't for me,

she wouldn't have been shot dead.

I'm to blame too.

I was ordered to lower the security level

for a few weapons to be brought into the building.

Who ordered you to lower it?

The Director did.

Then...

this happened.

Long ago, someone died right before my eyes.

The same thing happened again because of me...

I shouldn't have let them in.

You mean the weapon?

Or the child?

Do you know about... that incident?

If I had

kept saying no to the end,

he might have gone back home holding the child's hand.

I still think about that.

(sighs)

Can I just turn this off?

No, let me.

Let's go.

You need to give me my gun back.

How about you head out first

and I give it to you outside the security gate?

Sure.

My car is 6238. You saw it earlier, right?

It's fine. I'll get a cab.

Don't do it.

They even killed their deputy director.

Do you think you'll be safe?

Whatever you're planning on, don't do it.

Even I can see that you're up to something.

Do you think they won't notice?

(elevator dings)

I know how you feel, but something bad could happen to you.

How do you know how I feel?

It's because of your dad.

The child in that video.

It's you.

It isn't.

The person who died that day was your father!

Don't do it.

What do I do then?

Should I just let them break it?

Should I let them break it into pieces?

Break what...

They're breaking that metallic thing?

With it, I can do anything.

I can bring everyone back to life.

Ms. Choi, my father,

and even my mom.

You have no idea what it's taken me

to come this far.

(somber music)

I'll get going.

(phone buzzing)

SECURITY: I think you got a text message.

3 UNREAD MESSAGES

(thrilling music)

No.

Mother.

(sobs)

Please.

Please.

Please.

(closing theme music)
