What are you doing here?

What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping in your room?

I was practicing how to swim. I meant dive, not swim.

Okay. Dive all you want, Ja-in. Just let me sleep.

Everything outside's a swimming pool now!

So can we go swimming, Mom? Please?

-Let's go swimming! -Why do you always want to go swimming?

And I told you not to wear those goggles at home.

They make your face look ugly.

I wanna swim outside, not here, I'm telling you.

There's a real swimming pool outside now.

Come on! Can't you just skip work this time?

Ja-in, get up.

You can't ditch kindergarten, and I can't ditch work.

No, let me just do one more dive.

We can do it together, okay? Please? Please?

You dive, and I'll count, okay?

Count to 30 for me, okay?

All right.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

-You know you can't breathe while diving. -I wasn't breathing.

I've been holding my breath this whole time.

Hurry up and keep counting.

Eight.

Nine.

Huh?

Ja-in, remember to take your medicine after breakfast.

Don't forget, because Mommy might.

Mom, can I borrow that screen thingy you use for work so I can draw something?

Why do you always wanna draw on that, hmm? What about your sketchbooks?

'Cause you never look at it when I draw in my sketchbook.

What do you mean by that?

It's on the bed. You can go get it.

-Mom! Mom! -Yeah?

The password thingy isn't popping up.

Again? Oh!

Hey!

It's raining so much. What are you going to do?

What do you mean? I'll just take the day off.

How about you? Raining a lot there too?

My goodness, it's pouring.

Grandma! I miss you!

-Move over there. -How are you?

-Can you come visit us again? -Ja-in!

...I brought you last time so you can make some soup.

I didn't even know we had this.

Miyeokguk sounds good.

Make sure it's moist when you stir-fry it. And stop eating out so much.

It's not real food, and you need to take care of yourself.

You think you're fine now, but you'll get sick when you're older.

Mom, that's why I'm making breakfast right now.

I'll drop by with fresh ingredients next week.

So don't skip meals, and eat properly, all right?

My goodness. When I see the things you eat...

-I should move in... -I heard you. I have another call.

Gotta hang up. I'll talk to you later, okay?

All right. Oh, by the way, An-na...

Shin Ja-in, is the water running in the bathroom?

I don't think so. I didn't go to the bathroom.

Okay.

Mom, I just drew this for you.

What is it?

Mommy and me.

Ja-in.

If you're gonna draw me, can you at least make me look nice?

What do you mean?

You've got other colors like red and green, right?

Don't just use black. What the...

Mom, our house really has turned into a swimming pool!

This is an announcement from management.

Can you keep quiet?

Due to the record-breaking heavy rain,

buildings 101 through 107 have flooded up to the second floor,

and buildings 108 through 110 have flooded up to the third floor.

-Residents on the affected floors... -Mom, let's swim together!

-Can we swim at home? -Ja-in, wait a minute!

Why? Why? I wanna play right now.

You promised we were going to play, so why can't we?

-Shin Ja-in! I said be quiet! -Elevators have been temporarily disabled.

Please evacuate immediately.

Come on! We were supposed to swim together!

-I wanna swim! -Shin Ja-in, why aren't you listening?

...record-breaking rainfall...

Didn't Mommy tell you not to wear these inside the house?

Stay right here, or you're not getting them back again!

Hello?

This is Son Hee-jo from Darwin Center's Personnel Security Team.

Are you the manager of the Emotion Engine Development Team 3?

-Is your home flooding? -Yes.

I'm coming to pick you up, Dr. Gu. I'm almost at your apartment.

-My apartment? -The third floor will be flooded soon.

Evacuate to the upper floors as soon as possible.

If you're packing now, just leave. Don't be scared.

Just come up the stairs with Ja-in, and I'll fi...

Hello?

Hello?

SHIN JA-IN

Ja-in!

Ja-in!

We need to leave right now! Hurry up and get out here, okay?

Ja-in. Let's go. We gotta go now!

Ja-in, Mommy's sorry. I was just a bit upset earlier.

I'm not mad at you though. Hey, want me to give you a ride?

Hurry up, honey!

Don't cry. We have to hurry.

-Hello. -Hi there.

Excuse me. Can we pass through?

How can we take all that and the kids?

It's fine. We should hurry.

Gyun-a, stop crying. We need to hurry.

Come on! Hurry up! Let's go!

Ji-a, it's dangerous, so keep holding Daddy's hand.

-Excuse me. -I told you to stay put!

-Excuse me. -How did the water get up here?

-Ji-a! -Sir, can I...

Honey, just check on the kids. I'm gonna go figure it out.

Why is no one moving?

Seriously, stop pushing!

Excuse me.

Why is no one moving?

Huh? I'm not really sure.

-Someone got stuck or something like that. -He collapsed.

Believe in our Lord Jesus so you and your family will be saved.

Just go already!

So sorry. Coming through.

Please, Lord. Only you can deliver us from this terrible fate.

Auntie, open the door already!

Min-jun, hurry! Go!

Someone help us!

PRESENT DAY, SEOUL

Are you scared, Ja-in?

I thought it was just water,

but it looks like we can't swim in it.

How about we sing a song together?

We were gonna... gonna play together regardless, right?

All day long?

Regardless?

What does "regardless" mean?

"Regardless" is a word that means...

Mom! Look over there!

-Help! -Someone help!

-Help! -Somebody help us!

♪ Along the Milky Way In the blue sky ♪

♪ A little white boat drifting by ♪

♪ With a single laurel tree ♪

♪ There sits one tiny hare ♪

♪ No mast upon the boat ♪

♪ No paddle to keep it afloat ♪

♪ Yet still it drifts on ♪

Huh?

Ja-in.

Just wait here a sec.

Where are you going?

Not going anywhere. I'm just gonna take a look.

Look, we're from room 407! Could we just use your bathroom, please?

-It's for the kids! Please open up! -Is there anyone in there?

Please, we need some water to make baby formula!

Just let me through already.

Um, if anyone needs to use the bathroom or get some water, feel free to come in.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-Excuse me. -Ms. Gu!

-It's okay. This way. -Ms. Gu, where are you? Ms. Gu!

Oh! Over here! I'm over here!

Hey, man, we gotta keep going up.

Ja-in, let's go.

Come on, stop pushing.

-Ja-in. -We're all stuck here.

Coming through. Sorry. Coming through.

-Excuse me. Sorry. -Of course.

Ja-in?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Shin Ja-in!

An-na, are you okay?

-Ja-in. -Pass him to me!

He's not breathing.

Ja-in, Ja-in!

Mommy!

It's okay. It's all right.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

I'm Son Hee-jo, Personnel Security Team 1.

Let me record this.

July 7th, 7:55 a.m.

Confirmed the survival of Research Lead Gu An-na and the child.

We're moving now.

All set. Let's go.

-Hey, come on. -Uh...

-Mommy, Mommy! -Uh, let me carry him.

I can carry him.

-There's more stairs, you know? -Yeah, it's okay.

Come on. Get on my back.

Shin Ja-in, are you doing okay? You feel better?

I thought Mommy left me and went to that house all by yourself.

Where would I go without you?

But then, lots of water started coming in, and

that scared me, and I started thinking about what happened last time.

Mom, you remember back when...

back when our car fell into the water, and then Dad...

Ja-in.

You wanna sing again like before?

I don't wanna. I'm too sad.

I don't really feel like singing right now.

All right. Get some rest, then.

We're heading to the rooftop. Company helicopter is on the way.

First time riding one?

The water tasted salty. Is it supposed to taste like that?

An asteroid hit Antarctica around three hours ago.

It melted all the ice and caused the seawater to rise north.

Half of Japan has been submerged already,

and this whole 30-floor apartment will be underwater soon.

An asteroid hit?

Wait, how could they not see it coming?

They did. They just didn't say anything about it.

They couldn't stop it. Humanity is doomed.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. Wait a...

Does that mean... that mean we're all gonna die?

All these years,

you thought you were just working at an AI development lab, right?

Not quite.

It's up to you to create a whole new mankind.

What? How... how could I...

There are only two researchers who've developed the Emotion Engine for AI

in the entire world.

And our first choice went missing this morning.

That's right, your boss. Chief Researcher Im Hyeon-mo.

She and the child she was raising got swept away.

We presumed she didn't make it, so... you're the next choice.

Once the chopper gets you to the shelter, they'll tell you what to do.

Uh, wait. Hold on a sec. Hold on.

What is it?

I... I actually don't know all that much about it.

We built the Emotion Engine together, but it was just for testing.

And, uh, without Chief Im, I'm afraid I'd...

So then what? Cancel the chopper?

The rest of the teams have completed their research.

They've built human-like bodies with intelligence and the ability to reproduce.

The only thing left is the Emotion Engine. Do you understand?

You're all we've got now.

Mom?

Yeah?

I need to go poo-poo.

Uh, hold on.

Did you poop just now?

No, but I need to go 'cause I can't hold it anymore.

Ah, I didn't see that coming. Can he hold it? We don't have much time.

Ja-in, we don't have extra pants for you. You're gonna have to hold it in, okay?

Hurry up. There are no extra pants.

Ja-in, not yet, okay?

Ja-in. Hey, Ja-in.

Not yet.

Hold it. Just a sec.

Hey, it's me. We're proceeding all right.

No, not yet. Kid had to poop.

Why would I tell her that?

I mean, she's following along.

Okay. We'll get going right away.

The kid?

He can finish on his own.

He can wear these. You should change too. They don't belong to anyone now.

So, this Emotion Engine,

it has human emotions in it?

Like feelings and stuff?

Yeah.

So it's basically a person, then?

I don't get why you'd give it human emotions though.

We know what those are like.

If it's a new type of human, it doesn't need that stuff.

What's wrong with emotion?

Boarding the helicopter won't be too easy.

People up there will be begging and fighting to get on.

Everyone will be too busy to care about their families.

And the funny thing is,

you'll be pushing past all of them, too, doing what it takes to get on.

There's nothing wrong with that though.

That's just how human emotions work.

Can I...

Can I use your phone?

If anything happens, call me right away.

I can't believe I said the third floor was fine

when you were apartment hunting.

Don't say that.

It's a relief to hear that you evacuated, Mom.

Careful, okay?

An-na, it's still flooding over here.

Listen carefully.

From this point on, your father and I don't matter.

Ja-in is all you've got.

Remember that, okay?

Mom.

What do you mean?

The rain's gonna stop soon, all right? Don't worry.

You gotta come by next week with the food.

An-na.

Thank you for everything.

I...

I love you so much.

Mom?

Me too.

Are you done with the call?

That was nice to see, talking to your mother.

It was touching.

That's just how human emotions work.

Not that you'd care about it.

Yeah, I don't have anyone to call, so...

Let's go. Water's reached the tenth floor.

We need to get out!

Ja-in.

Let's go.

Come on.

Put these on first.

Come on. Don't get scared now. Let's go. Hand me the kid.

-Mom. -Huh?

The fire's really hot.

I know, Ja-in. It's okay.

We're going up now. You have to hold on tight, okay?

-That's it. Push him up. -Ja-in!

Ja-in, you're gonna go up there first, all right?

No, I don't want to!

-No! No! Mommy! -Mommy will be right up.

-You go first, okay? -Mommy! I'm scared! I don't want to!

-Ja-in, it'll just be a moment. -No! I don't wanna!

-Ja-in! -Mommy!

Mommy, I don't want to.

Mommy! Mommy, please!

Mommy!

An-na!

-An-na, are you all right? -Mom!

-Yes! -Mommy!

Mommy!

No! It's okay 'cause Mommy's not going anywhere!

-Mom! Mommy! -It's okay!

-I'll get up there soon! -Don't leave me!

Just wait there for a second!

Mommy...

Hello?

Is someone in there?

Yes. Can you please open the door?

What's your name?

I'm Lee Ji-su.

Ji-su, I'll open it for you.

I'll be right back. Just wait a little, okay?

Ugh. Fuck this fucking rain! Goddammit.

How much do you think this watch is worth?

Quit wasting time. We gotta finish looting before the rain stops.

Relax! You could kill someone and nobody'd find out.

Ji-su!

Ji-su!

I'm here, Ji-su.

The door. Ji-su!

An-na! Where are you?

An-na!

I'll be right there!

Is Ja-in safe?

You better get up here.

Ja-in, it's Mommy. Mommy's here.

Does it hurt? Huh?

Hey. You got his medicine, right? Give it to him.

Uh, I think I lost it.

Mom, it hurts a lot.

Shit, I can't believe this.

Mommy. Mommy. Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom...

Ja-in.

-Mommy. -You'll be okay.

-Where you going? -I'll go find it.

How are you gonna do that? Let's figure this out on the chopper.

Ms. Gu. Ms. Gu!

Just restore his data to the backup from when he woke up this morning!

You know you can!

You've got all the data to recreate him. We've gotta go now!

-He's gonna die! -Mom! Mom!

Ja-in, just hang in there, okay?

-Who are you? -I'm so sorry. Excuse me.

Ja-in, hold on.

I, uh, I'm sorry. It's urgent.

Uh, what are you looking for?

Ja-in.

Ja-in.

Ja-in, stay with me, okay?

Drink this, Ja-in. Come on.

-I'll hold him. -Keep your hands off! Don't you dare!

Here, Ja-in.

Ja-in, open your eyes. Please?

Drink this.

You gotta drink if you wanna dive and play with Mommy.

Come on.

Ja-in. Ja-in, Ja...

-So you wanna give up Ja-in. -Is this me?

Because of your husband's death?

Technically, Ja-in and I only met because of work.

I don't think I'm cut out to be a mom.

No one's ever cut out to be a mom.

Emotion Engine has been completed.

Even the Center acknowledged it.

We no longer need to raise the kids ourselves.

In a few months,

the Center will come to collect Ja-in.

And my Yu-jin too.

Maybe we shouldn't have created them in the first place.

When will that be?

Mommy.

Mom.

Oh.

Ja-in. Mom's right here.

I peed.

Sorry, Mom.

Good job.

It's nice and warm.

Are you okay now?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Mom, can you hug me?

You know, I got pretty sick because of water,

but I was still so happy.

I got to spend all day with you today 'cause of the water, you know.

We're gonna be okay. I'm okay.

I thought it only stopped for a sec, but now the sun's out.

You wanna wash the rag, use this. The water's not running.

Is it over, or...

I'm wondering what all that panic and hassle was for.

Ja-in is okay, right?

The head of security called this morning.

The plans had unexpectedly changed to get you instead.

There's a shelter at the layover point. We'll be getting off there.

But I heard you're going to the final destination on your own.

Ja-in can't go since they want him back.

I didn't mention this to you earlier, did I?

Maybe... you thought I wouldn't come?

I voted you'd come with us.

I have zero interest in this whole new humanity stuff.

I was just curious to see what you'd do with Ja-in despite it all.

I mean, given everything, I figured you'd leave.

Why would you wanna see me leave?

When I was Ja-in's age, my supposed mother did that.

She cried more than I did. Said she'd return.

She never did.

Kids carry stuff like that for life.

So I thought seeing you abandon him might make me feel better about my past.

"Ah, I wasn't the only victim."

"There are more people like her."

"This is just what humans do."

I wanted to see that on the day the world came to an end.

Some people find comfort in stuff like that.

Shit. Better go now. Let's go.

Ja-in.

-Mom. -Come on!

Mom. Mom! Mom! Mom...

Sorry about this. Thank you for everything.

Aah! Open up.

-An-na, are you all right? -Mom. Mom! Mom!

-Mom! -Let's go.

It's okay. I'll carry him.

Mom! Mom!

There. Let's go.

Wait, please help us!

I don't know what to do.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

Please help. Please!

Come on! We gotta go now.

I'm really sorry.

Mom, why does that lady feel sick?

Uh...

She's not sick.

She's having a baby.

What about you, Mom?

Did it hurt for you too?

Ja-in.

Can you come down for a minute? Hmm?

Ja-in, Mommy's getting tired.

One more to go. You ready?

Come on.

We're almost there! Come on!

Why do I have to leave him behind?

Can't I... Why can't I just take him with?

-Listen, An-na, that's not how this works. -You said I was going alone, but...

How can I leave him like this?

Mom.

Ja-in.

I'm sorry. Mommy's not angry.

Let's calm down and figure this out.

I also find this whole situation strange.

With the chief researcher and her kid gone,

Ja-in is the only one left alive now.

That means they'd need him more than ever to get anything done, right?

There must've been some kind of mistake.

Believe me.

"July 7th, 8:27 a.m."

"The Darwin Center will now deliver the following statement"

ahead of the rescue operation for lead researcher Gu An-na

"of Emotion Engine Development Team 3."

"First. The unofficial research institution

under the UN known as the Darwin Center

is committed to doing everything possible to prevent human extinction."

"Second. Lead researcher Gu An-na has been appointed

as one of the 49 special task researchers

and will be immediately dispatched to the temporary lab

to complete development of the Emotion Engine."

"Third. Lead researcher Gu An-na will cooperate with all measures necessary

to fulfill the two aforementioned objectives."

That's everything.

Handing over the appointee.

Okay. Good job.

Dr. Gu, effective immediately,

we're retrieving all data related to Newman-77 of the Darwin Center.

What's going on?

Tell them to take those off now! You said I could go with him!

Uncuff him!

You know, Chief Im Hyeon-mo?

She didn't actually drown. She ran away with her daughter.

Said she'd rather die than abandon her own child.

What about you though?

You wanted to give yours up.

You knew this was going to happen from the get-go, didn't you?

This is what humans are really like. There's no point fighting over it.

Better say goodbye to him.

We gotta go. Just get it out.

Wait, hold on.

Are you people insane?

Take your hands off him!

I'll kill every last one of you!

I'll kill you all!

Please wait!

Wait! Wait! Please, wait!

Please spare him.

You can't kill Ja-in. You can't.

I promise I'll complete the Emotion Engine, so please.

Please.

Dr. Gu.

Ja-In turned out wonderfully.

We need him.

If we wanna build another Emotion Engine, he'll be crucial to the process.

You were the one who said that.

Please.

Please, I'm begging you. Please don't hurt him.

Please.

Take him to the temporary shelter.

Just let me take him to the temporary shelter at least.

At least that far.

Did you really think there's any shelter after all this?

Dr. Gu.

All of us

are supposed to die here.

You're the only one going.

Ja-in.

We need your personal items for security.

Experimental subject data retrieval completed.

En route to the launch pad.

Hello, Dr. Gu. I'm Lee Hwi-so, the director of Isabela Lab.

I'll re-brief you on the mission since you've joined us on such short notice.

In 15 minutes, tens of thousands of meteor fragments

will hit our planet.

Upon doing so, most life forms on Earth will go extinct.

The Darwin Center launched seven rockets from sites around the world this morning

in our best attempt to prevent human extinction.

And now, we are the last remnants of mankind.

One moment, please.

Now, humanity must evolve on its own.

We must survive the aftermath of the Great Flood

by using the knowledge and technology we have.

We are aiming to preserve the smallest unit of humanity,

but our team's immediate objective is to produce a mother and her child.

We can create human-like bodies at the Isabela Lab

we're currently heading towards,

but only you can complete the development of the Emotion Engine

and give them human emotions.

Now, let me tell you about your mission, Dr. Gu.

We completed the child.

So you want me to make the mother now?

How do you plan on doing it?

I'll set the mother as the subject of the experiment

and make the child disappear.

The subject will face obstacle after obstacle

while she searches for the child.

If she fails, she'll have to start over from the beginning.

After countless repetitions,

if the subject successfully reunites with the child...

And what if she fails?

Then humanity will face complete extinction.

Dr. Gu?

This is Beagle 6.

Debris of the asteroids hit our engine. Likely leaking oxidizer.

Can you report the status from your visual?

Mom, wake up! Our house turned into a swimming pool!

Ja-in.

Ja-in, what is this? What happened to our house?

The water came in while you were sleeping,

and it kept coming in!

-Hello? -Are you Gu An-na?

Manager of the Darwin Center's Emotion Engine Development Team 3?

Yes, who is this?

I'm Son Hee-jo from Personnel Security Team 1.

I'll be brief since this is an urgent situation.

-How flooded is your home right now? -Right now? The water's...

Mom! Mom!

Listen carefully. You need to evacuate immediately.

-I'm almost at your apartment now. -I drew this thing that I saw in my dream.

-Wanna see it? -Evacuate to an upper floor.

Ja-in, hold on a minute.

Mom, I sent my drawing to your phone.

Come on. Please, Mom!

Do you hear me, Mom?

Why aren't you looking at my drawing?

Ja-in, Mommy's on the phone right now!

Dr. Gu? Are you unable to talk?

No, it's all right. Go on.

Get to the upper floors ASAP. And make sure to bring Ja-in with you.

In a few months, the Center will come to collect Ja-in.

And my Yu-jin too.

They're the Center's most important assets.

So just raise him until then.

When's that supposed to be?

Hello? Are you listening, Dr. Gu? The Center will be collecting Ja-in today.

Shin Ja-in, get up right now. Come on.

But you won't even look at what I drew this morning.

You never let me do anything I want. Never ever.

Shin Ja-in, look at Mommy right now.

You have to listen to Mommy, okay?

No drawings or swimming today.

-What about diving? -No diving either.

You have to stay by Mommy's side, all right?

If a stranger asks you to come with, you don't follow. Is that understood?

And if you listen to Mommy today,

Mommy will go swimming and diving with you next time, all right?

Say something!

Mommy's lying.

What?

Why am I still six years old?

How come I was six yesterday?

And the day before yesterday too?

And the day before the day before yesterday too?

What are you saying right now? Just get on my back.

Enough! Stop crying!

-Stop crying! -Hey! Get going! Move, move!

Excuse me, coming through.

Mommy told you to stop crying!

You understand now! It's plain to see!

It's just as I foretold. All of this is part of God's plan.

And we must offer a sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Amen!

Amen!

Go! Hurry up!

-Push! -What are you doing? Move!

-Move! -Keep moving!

What are you doing up there?

-Go! -Back off!

Let's go! Come on!

Ms. Gu!

Ms. Gu, are you here?

Ms. Gu!

Ja-in.

Climb up here.

Where are you?

Shin Ja-in!

-Over here! -Ja-in.

Help! Someone help me!

Help me!

Ja-in!

Help!

Are you all right?

God, you scared me.

We spoke on the phone. I'm Son Hee-jo from the security team.

I need to record this.

July 7th, 7:55.

Lead researcher Gu An-na has survived, but Newman-77 is unaccounted...

Hey. This way. Chopper's landing on the roof.

My child fell in the water.

Wait a second.

I know where he went. Look.

Caught my eye from how strange it was.

I saw you in that hallway. Was about to come over.

But I saw a kid going upstairs alone. That's him, right?

Ja-in!

Shin Ja-in!

What do you think happened?

You think someone could have taken him?

I saw him going up by himself with my own two eyes.

My son would never leave my side.

Ja-in!

Shin Ja-in!

An-na.

We're out of time.

-We have to go. -Let go.

Look, I'm telling you, we'll find the kid and bring him to the roof, all right?

Where is my child?

Hand that over.

I won't ask twice.

Where is my child?

An-na, we're gonna die.

Let's just go up first, okay?

What did you do to him?

What do you mean? I've never even met the kid!

Why would I show you the photo if we were the ones who took him?

But we have to try and find him quickly.

Take my hand. Just take it already!

You asked them to take the kid before. Then why the change of heart?

If you lay a finger on my boy,

I'll murder you.

What?

An-na! An-na!

Mommy! Mommy!

Don't go!

Mommy! Mommy!

Don't leave me!

An-na! Shit.

Just stay right there! I'm coming!

Is someone in there?

Yes, I'm stuck in here.

Is your name Ji-su?

Yes. How did you know?

Oh, Ji-su.

Just give me a minute.

I'll get the door open.

You can just go.

Some guys tried to open it earlier, but they couldn't.

Ji-su, I can open it.

Give me a sec.

Yes, I'm stuck in here.

Ji-su, just give me a minute. I'll be right back. I will get you out!

Hang in there!

Fuck this.

We'll just have to put these on for now.

We can return them later.

Everyone must have evacuated to the roof.

Your grandpa will be there too, so don't worry too much. Hmm?

But wait. How did you know that?

That I was on my way to my grandpa's?

Ji-su.

I'm looking for my kid.

He went missing earlier.

Be careful.

Ji-su.

I don't even know why I'm saying this to you right now, but

once I go out of here, I'm going to die shortly after.

There's a six-year-old boy, about this tall, named Shin Ja-in.

If you ever see that boy,

please tell him that his mom is looking for him, okay?

When I was trapped in the elevator, I heard something.

It sounded like... some people were asking a kid some questions.

They asked him where his mom was, which unit he lived in,

and if he knew his door's code.

What else?

Ji-su, what else can you tell me? What kind of people do you think they are?

I was pretty sure they were dragging something on the floor.

Thank you, Ji-su. I've gotta go.

Please be careful.

Damn it!

Ah, damn!

Fuck!

Shit.

-Damn it. -Just use this.

You want a hundred beatings?

Hey, that's enough. Let's go.

No, get off! Fuck, I'm fucking pissed.

Why the hell did you have to be here? Now you've turned us into criminals!

I mean, fuck!

Why did you leave the door open if you were home

and get us all excited like that?

Who are you?

Man, what is it?

Excuse me, sir.

Sir, are you all right?

Why don't you just mind your own business?

Just get going, all right?

Hey, what the fuck is going on out here?

My son.

What did you do to my son?

Hey, let's just go.

All right.

An-na!

An-na, did you find the kid?

Over here! Please hurry! These people...

-Sh! -Lock the door!

Shit!

-Fuck! -Shit!

Shit.

Shit.

Hey, come here!

An-na!

An-na!

-An-na! -Oh shit!

Why won't you die?

Ow! Shit!

Ah shit! What the hell?

Fucking bitch! Get your shit together, man.

Get up, you!

Come here!

Shit!

My arm, my arm, my arm!

You saw your buddy just now.

Can't float in water with a broken arm.

This is not what it looks like.

The kid was alone, so we were having a little fun.

He said he lived on the third floor, so we let him go. That's all I know.

-Really. -Yeah, it seems that way.

Crazy kids. Hanging out, breaking into empty units.

God knows where they came from.

Looks like your boy really disappeared on his own.

Do you have any idea where he might've gone?

I'm not sure.

He never does stuff like this. Why would he...

I see. Well, you were threatening to kill me earlier,

but you don't even know why your boy is missing.

Ja-in, open your eyes. Please?

Drink this.

You gotta drink if you wanna dive and play with Mommy.

Come on.

Ja-in. Ja-in. Ja...

Ji-su.

I'm going to go. Take care.

Uh, t, t, take this. Here.

Ma'am.

How did you know about this?

Ji-su, I really think you should come with me right now.

I'm going to be okay.

I'll stay with my grandparents. I don't wanna leave them.

This place will be underwater soon. You can't stay here.

But you're the same.

You wouldn't leave Ja-in behind, right?

I'll stay here.

Yes, I can take Gu An-na there myself.

You're sure we'll be able to find the kid once we get there, right?

Yeah.

Copy that.

And that temporary shelter.

What's the exact location?

Yeah.

Okay, I have to go. I'll see you later. Yeah.

An-na.

More people from my team are arriving by boat right now.

They're professionals. Don't worry. They can search the entire building.

Let's make our way upstairs.

I want to find him first.

He needs his medicine.

An-na!

Come on. It makes no difference if you find him first, right?

I said my team will find him and bring him up!

Fine, then explain this.

You said he'd never leave your side. So why'd he disappear?

Be honest. There's a reason.

Didn't you say you didn't feel confident about keeping Ja-in?

An-na.

You keep going back and forth, so make up your mind.

It's your last day with him, and you know that.

That's why.

That's exactly why you should let me find him.

I haven't been able to find him even once.

There are only a few apartments left open.

Please help me just this once.

I'll take the odd floors, and you take even.

If you use that staircase, I'll use this one.

Please, I'm begging.

Why keep asking me for help? We've never met before.

Or have we?

I don't know. We've never seen a kid like that.

I swear...

Mom, can I borrow that screen thingy you use for work

so I can draw something?

Why do you always wanna draw on that, hmm? What about your sketchbooks?

'Cause you never look at it when I draw in my sketchbook.

What do you mean by that?

Here, let me.

Eun-su!

The water's not too warm.

I hope it's okay.

-All right. -Our baby is so beautiful.

Yeah, Eun-su.

Lately, I've been

having a dream about a tsunami hitting us badly.

Right.

I guess it was a lucky dream.

Mom, I drew this thing that I saw in my dream yesterday.

Wanna see it?

Mom, I drew this thing that I saw in my dream yesterday. Wanna see it?

Please, Mom. Do you hear me, Mom? Why aren't you looking at my drawing?

Ja-in, mommy's on the phone right now!

PHOTOS

An-na!

An-na!

I found the kid. Hurry over here.

Why am I still six years old?

How come I was six yesterday? And the day before yesterday too?

And the day before the day before yesterday too?

How long am I gonna stay six years old?

How long am I gonna stay six years old?

Ja-in.

I'll wake you up on the roof after we find Ja-in.

You should say your goodbyes at least.

There's no point fighting over it.

You're not...

...escaping.

You died on that rooftop.

Don't you remember?

We've met before.

What was that?

An-na, what did you say just now?

We'll take care of her. Please leave.

Move aside. Hey, stop that! I said stop!

Please board the chopper. Team lead's orders.

Hey!

An-na.

Shoot!

Just shoot!

Good job, An-na.

An-na, this, um...

This'll hurt a lot.

You'll be fine.

Look at me.

You snapping out of it now?

What was that earlier? You said we've met before?

So...

how many times has it happened?

Ever since I left Ja-in behind the first time,

he's disappeared over and over.

Endlessly.

And this isn't the first time we've talked.

And I think he knew.

He knew everything, right from the very beginning.

So that's why he disappeared.

Afraid of being abandoned again.

At first, I came to this unit not knowing it was a trap.

Later, I came regardless.

Because from here on out, I need your help.

When he's upset or something's bothering him,

he often hides in the closet.

And now, there's only one unit left. He must be on the 30th floor.

I'm sure of it.

But the problem is...

Our security team.

That's right.

I think I remember now.

And right now,

they're trying to stop me from finding Ja-in.

Just like how they did in reality.

But no matter what I did...

I couldn't find him.

Their forces are everywhere outside.

Let's go with the same plan as last time.

No, wait.

Follow me.

Maybe

there's no point in doing this anymore.

Even if I do find him,

what if he doesn't wanna see me?

Target spotted on the 30th floor. Everyone move in!

Why?

Scared he thinks his mom abandoned him?

If he's disappeared thousands of times,

it's not 'cause he hates you.

He's waiting for you to come find him.

Even though you abandoned him, he doesn't hate or resent you.

He'll always be waiting for you somewhere, hoping against hope you'll find him.

That's how I felt.

Go without me. Hurry!

I'd really like to see

what you'll do in the end, An-na.

That's the whole reason I came, after all.

Ja-in.

Mommy's abandoned you before...

...but Mommy kept on forgetting she did.

I didn't know about your drawings, and...

and I didn't know you were hiding here.

Take care, Ja-in.

Mommy's...

Mommy's sorry for abandoning you again.

The thing is,

Mommy will probably forget it all again.

No, you didn't.

You didn't abandon me.

Because, Mom, you told me to wait for you.

Huh?

It was a long time ago, but

you told me to wait for you.

You promised you'd be back.

You whispered to me.

Ja-in.

Do you see the closet behind Mommy?

Hide in there

when you open your eyes.

Okay?

Mommy will come and find you.

But you wait for me, okay?

Dr. Gu, are you all right?

I'll be

the subject.

Send mine along with Ja-in's, okay?

He must be waiting for me.

I have informed the other teams of the plan.

As you requested,

we will extract both your memories and Ja-in's,

then transmit them to Isabela Lab.

The experiment will be based on the transmitted memories.

If this experiment succeeds one day,

the new humanity will return to Earth.

Ja-in, do you wanna swim over there with Mommy?

You can go first.

Go, Ja-in.

Mommy will follow you.

I liked your idea at the briefing.

Creating emotions through experience, but...

5 YEARS EARLIER

...that'll take too long. Let's find another way.

How about we create the baby first?

A real one,

with its own thoughts and emotions.

Five years will be enough.

Ja-in, what's wrong, hmm?

Do you need a diaper change?

Ow, it's hot!

"Ocean."

"Ocean." Shall we say it together?

Ocean, together, yeah?

Repeat after Mommy. "Ocean."

"Ocean."

Oh? Then shall we try this one?

Um! Yum, yummy. Yum, yum, yummy.

Oh, you wanna take it off? Ah, kimchi, kimchi.

You want kimchi?

-Yeah? Ah, yum. -Mmm.

Baths are great! Yay, we're done!

All done, Ja-in.

Mama.

Ja-in.

Can you try saying that again?

Mama.

Mama.

-Mommy? -Mama.

Mama.

Hi there! So you must be Ja-in.

Wow!

Ja-in.

Ja-in!

Ja-in.

Do you wanna dive with Mommy?

I'll count to 30.

THE GREAT FLOOD

Mom. Mom, wake up!

Mom, wake up!

Mom, let's dive together again!

Just like we did yesterday!

You dive, and I'll count to 30.

Ready? Go!

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine...
