[Circle: Two Worlds Connected]

[Year 2008] Wow!

Senior Yong Woo lent you an amazing house!

If I'd known about this, I would've mooched off him too.

I pay my rent to him every month, okay?

Oh yeah.

Here.

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

What are you planning to use these for?

They're still being tested.

You're not going to cause trouble again, are you?

Hey, I've suffered so much already. You think I'd cause trouble again?

I just wanted to look at them, is all.

I have to make a comeback, if only for my twins.

Oh, those two are twins?

They're adorable. Are they at school?

No, I left them with my mother for a bit so that I could focus on my research.

What kind of research are you doing?

Okay, I'll tell you everything.

You're hungry, right? Let's grab a bite to eat.

- Let's go. - Oh, I'm so hungry.

- Come. - Yes, Senior.

[Circle: Two Worlds Connected]

[Episode 8]

Woo Jin.

I need that data.

If I have that, you and Bum Gyun can live happily ever after.

Forget all your bad memories and be happy.

Please, Woo Jin.

Please help me.

I didn't even know that my father was a neuroscientist.

I only found out about that a couple of days ago.

And I've definitely never heard of his research or memory erasure.

I only have my brother now, Professor.

So, please.

I won't report this to the police or anything.

I'll just disappear quietly with my brother.

Please? I won't do what my father did.

Woo Jin.

Do I seem like a sane person to you?

Huh?

I couldn't find the data anywhere after that bastard disappeared

even after I searched through the entire lab!

I had no choice but to perform illegal experiments.

After I crossed the line once, I had to keep crossing it!

And my experiment...

even ended up killing people.

I killed people.

Find it no matter what.

Find it, whether it exists or not, and whether your know about it or not!

I'm sure that he hid it somewhere.

If he didn't, he wasn't a true scientist!

You're his son.

Even if I couldn't find it, you should be able to.

If you can't find it, I'll never stop.

This tiresome experiment will continue on

and more people will have to die.

- Bum Gyun, too-- - Professor!

Exactly!

That's why you have to find that research data.

Got it?

Do you understand the situation now?

Hey, Kim Woo Jin!

Don't bother reporting this or anything like that.

I'm not the only cop involved.

You have to save your brother, after all.

Pick it up.

[Han Jung Yeon]

Yeah?

Why didn't you pick up?

- What is it? - Did something happen?

Did you get caught?

No, nothing happened.

My dad suddenly said something urgent came up and left.

What about Dad's computer? Did you log onto it?

Yeah. There was nothing on it.

Nothing?

Yeah.

I'll call you back again later after I've found out more.

You're really okay, right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Bye.

Seems like Professor Han gave you an assignment.

Finish it up quickly, whatever it may be.

Oh, what a beautiful day!

[Kim Gyu Chul]

Damn it!

[Soyang University Neuroscience Center]

[Researcher Kim Gyu Chul]

[Forgot Password?]

[Researcher Kim Gyu Chul]

[Please answer this security question: Most prized possession?]

[Most prized possession?]

It's okay, Woo Jin. I'm holding on to you.

Yeah, good job!

There you go! That's great!

- I'm going to let go now! - Okay!

All right, I've let go!

Wow, I'm moving! Wow!

Hold on tight to the handlebars!

I'm doing great, Dad!

Great job, Woo Jin! Yeah!

Yeah!

[The twins]

[Please enter a new password]

Most prized possession?

How can you say that when you deceived us?

We were your most prized possession?

It's all your fault that my brother ended up this way!

Looks like you're scribbling again, Detective Hong.

Sheesh.

I'm synthesizing everything I know about the situation, you ignoramus.

How is drawing on your desk "information synthesis"?

Geez.

Did you look into that blood donation vehicle?

It won't be easy to find, but I've been searching.

Someone told me they saw a man there with a cigarette in his mouth.

Look into that, too. I'm going to head out.

- Yes, sir. - Hey!

- Where the hell are you going now? - Oh, Section Chief.

I hear you're going around doing useless things lately!

Why are you digging into something that's already been ruled a suicide?

There's a person who's gone missing because of that incident

and there are so many strange things about this case.

Get your hands off this case!

I'm assigning it to someone else

so don't you dare go around digging, all right?

Stupid punk, always drawing useless cartoons.

- Ugh, are you serious? - Goodbye, sir!

Get my hands off? Give me a break.

- Give me a lollipop. - Oh, of course, sir!

I'm craving something sweet.

Here you are, sir!

Good luck!

Damn it!

[Dong Soo]

The person you are trying to reach is not available.

Hey, Lee Dong Soo!

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

Oh my gosh, I thought you were my mom!

You're good with computers, right?

- Can you hack things, too? - Well, a little.

Are you the type to get super obsessed when dating someone?

Stop messing around. Can you do it, or not?

Well...

What will you do for me?

- Anything you want. - Really?

Hey, why aren't you doing anything?

All we need to do now is wait.

How long? Like an hour or two?

You really have no common sense.

People usually make a password that is between 4 and 12 characters.

So what?

After launching the hacking tool

it has to create combinations of English characters!

This is called a dictionary attack. It has to guess millions of combinations

or even tens of millions of potential combinations!

- So how long will this take, exactly? - A second, if we're lucky.

But if not, it could even take even longer than a year.

What?

Dong Soo.

I'm really in a hurry, okay?

I have to see what's in there. I have to see it in order to...

put an end to everything.

Can you do this for me? Please?

Then, we can't use this.

I'll... look for another method.

All right.

You wanted to take a walk, didn't you?

You should've told us sooner.

Shall we go slowly, then? Slowly.

Who are you? Thief! There's a thief!

- Grandma! - There's a thief!

Grandma, it's me! Woo Jin!

Did Dad leave any research data behind, Grandma?

I really need it!

Let go, you thief! Let go!

- Let go! - You thief!

- Grandma! - You bastard!

- Thief! Thief! - Granny!

Granny, this is your grandson! He's Woo Jin!

That isn't my Woo Jin! Woo Jin is 11 years old!

- He's a thief! - Please!

Thief! That bastard came to steal something from me!

He's an evil thief!

He's not my Woo Jin! He's a thief!

[Dong Soo]

Yeah, Dong Soo?

I did it, Teach! I'll send it over now!

Yeah, hurry and send it over.

Damn it.

Is this everything?

Yes.

Is this really everything?

Is this really everything, Lee Dong Soo?

Yes, that's all there was.

Damn.

Damn it!

The house in Gyodeok-dong?

Maybe...

Woo Jin.

This is Senior Gyu Chul's old home.

What's going on?

Isn't this what you'd guessed, though?

The fact that you knew, but didn't ask me and played dumb

means that you were okay with us collecting data, even in that way.

No. I really didn't know.

I'm different from you.

Who are you?

Um, you're Professor Park Dong Geon, correct?

Yes, I am.

I'm Detective Hong from the Violent Crimes Unit.

Oh. What brings you here?

I heard that your research focus is...

bio... cyber... networking, right?

Cybernetics. It's biocybernetics.

Oh, I see.

Biocybernetics.

I heard that's technology that links a machine to the brain. Is that true?

It's not limited to just the brain.

Have you ever seen these before?

No, not really. It's the first time I've seen these.

Why?

Well, apparently these came out of the students who died.

Oh, really?

I heard that the school ruled those deaths as suicides.

It's still under investigation. We have witnesses, too.

There are certain aspects that seem a bit suspicious.

And one person is currently missing, as well.

Missing?

At any rate, thank you for your cooperation.

Um, excuse me. May I examine those?

These are important pieces of evidence, you see.

So I can't just hand them over.

If you need them, I'll come back here.

What the hell are you two doing with my robots?

What is Professor Han trying to do?

I've become an accomplice to this because of you two.

Don't I have the right to know?

Professor Han said it'd be possible to see people's memories as video files.

What?

And that we'd be able to block out unpleasant memories.

No way!

The memory storage mechanism itself isn't even secure yet.

But he's going to turn memories into video files?

How? With what method?

How can you, a science major, believe that kind of nonsense?

Damn it.

[Kim Woo Jin]

The person you are trying to reach is not available.

Jung Yeon.

You left in such a hurry that I was worried.

How much do you know?

I asked you how much you know.

What... are you talking about?

Byul.

Scientist Kim Gyu Chul. Dad.

What on earth have you done?

What are those blue bugs?

And as for So Yoon and the other students... and Bum Gyun!

Did you really do something to them, Dad?

This was all because of you.

This was all because of you, Jung Yeon...

No...

Byul.

This was all to help you regain your memories.

The memories Kim Gyu Chul locked away.

I needed to use the bugs in order to do that.

Those kids who died?

Those were just side effects.

Why do you want me to regain my memories so badly?

What will change if I get my memories back?

Absolutely everything!

I can change absolutely everything!

If I can just have you regain Byul's original memories

this entire world and all of humanity can live in a brave, grand new world.

A grand new world that nobody has ever inhabited before.

What did you say?

I don't know where Byul came from, but look!

You're living a great life while looking like a human being.

The one thing I can say with certainty as a researcher

is that your DNA is the same as ours.

But you were able to completely analyze a human brain.

Neuroscience is still a field that is not entirely clear to us humans

but Byul had that knowledge!

That's not all.

Memories.

Byul was able to store her memories in a video file format

and could use that in order to block out memories.

She could choose which ones, too!

Can you imagine the possibilities?

By using memory blocking, humans will never have to suffer again!

You never once got angry. Not once!

If I can just find out the reason why...

even if only a little, humanity can conquer a new frontier.

Byul.

You're humanity's savior.

I'm sure there must have been a reason why you came to us.

But Kim Gyu Chul ruined all of that for us!

I'm just trying to help humanity.

So please, Byul. Help me.

Please?

We're almost there.

Woo Jin is looking for the research that his father left behind now, too.

If he just finds Kim Gyu Chul's research data

we can bring your memories back.

And if we do that, all of this will be over.

So... please.

Just sit still for the time being, please!

If you want Woo Jin and Bum Gyun...

to be safe, that is.

Ms. Park Min Young.

There is a foreign object within your head right now.

You need to undergo more tests immediately.

I saw the CT scan.

It's near the right cerebellar peduncle, right?

It won't pierce through my pericranium if I'm lucky.

What?

But I don't have time for that right now.

There's a person I have to find.

The person you are trying to reach...

Why won't Kim Woo Jin pick up his phone?

- Where's the neuroscience building? - This way.

Excuse me.

Damn it, where's Kim Woo Jin?

Absolutely everything!

I can change absolutely everything.

If I can just have you regain Byul's original memories

this entire world and all of humanity can live in a brave, grand new world.

A grand new world that nobody has ever inhabited before.

Dad. Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

- Let go! - No!

You're on their side too, aren't you?

You people killed those students, right?

And you people are the ones who put that bug in my head, right?

Calm down.

It... it wasn't me.

Stop lying!

Where's Bum Gyun?

Bum... Bum Gyun?

Who's Bum Gyun?

Kim Bum Gyun! You people kidnapped him!

Calm down. I know where that person is.

I can help you.

So, you help me too.

Really?

What?

Han Yong Woo really was the criminal!

Hurry over here!

All right. I'll head there now.

What is it?

They've located Kim Bum Gyun. He's in Gyodok-dong.

Damn it...

What? When?

Just now.

All right.

Yeah, it's me. Send someone to Gyodok-dong now.

The house in Gyodok-dong?

Maybe...

[Professor Park Dong Geon]

Hello, Professor. I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry--

I'll explain later.

I know where your brother is.

He's at your old house in Gyodok-dong.

[Professor Park Dong Geon]

Hello, Professor. I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry--

I'll explain later.

I know where your brother is.

He's at your old house in Gyodok-dong.

- Bum Gyun! - Woo Jin!

Woo Jin!

Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun!

Bum Gyun! Bum Gyun!

Hey, who are you?

Where's my brother?

- What? - Where's my brother?

Let go! Bum Gyun!

Bum Gyun!

Hey, student.

I said go home!

Where's... where's my brother?

Geez, this punk.

Let go. Wow, you're a resilient one, aren't you?

Where's... where's my brother?

Damn it.

Come on, man. Why did you have to go so hard on a kid?

Leave.

Hurry, Detective!

Bum Gyun...

Bum Gyun.

Bum Gyun.

Bum Gyun!

Bum Gyun.

Bum Gyun.

Bum Gyun?

Bum Gyun! Bum Gyun...

Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun.

Bum Gyun, it's me. It's Woo Jin, please get up.

Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun! Bum Gyun!

Please get up, Bum Gyun.

Bum Gyun...

Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun, it's me.

Please get up.

Bum Gyun, it's Woo Jin. Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun...

Please get up...

Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun. Bum Gyun!

Bum Gyun, it's me, Woo Jin. Bum Gyun, please get up.

Bum Gyun! Bum Gyun, please get up...

Woo Jin...

Bum Gyun.

Bum Gyun, are you okay?

- Is it you, Woo Jin? - It's me. Woo Jin.

Woo Jin, I'm sorry.

Bum Gyun, I'm the one who's sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for being alive. I was wrong.

I'm sorry, Woo Jin.

Woo Jin.

I should have believed you. I'm sorry...

[Part 2: Brave New World]

I'm going to meet the chairman of Human B.

It doesn't matter if Woo Jin is the chairman or not.

I'm going to meet him and stop Human B.

What about you? What are you going to do?

Even... when I thought Woo Jin could be the chairman

I unblocked people's memories.

We need to find Woo Jin whether he's the chairman or not

and if he's the chairman, we need to stop him.

What is it this time?

Deliver my message to the chairman.

If he knows I'm Kim Bum Gyun, we need to meet.

Me, the chairman...

and Bluebird, in person.

Are you telling me this is you, and this is your brother?

Did Human B make your brother go missing?

Is it that hard to believe?

Then look at this.

I was a victim like you 20 years ago.

I was the first victim to lose my memories.

And Human B could have done something to my brother too.

A crime-free city? That's hilarious.

The creation of this place was a crime.

Then, what about Bluebird? How do you know her?

She's looking for my brother too.

Bluebird is looking for your brother?

- It'll make sense to you soon. - Do you have any idea where he is?

I'll find out when I meet the chairman.

Chairman, Kim Joon Hyuk wants a three-way, face-to-face meeting.

What should I do?

If you keep eating flour-based foods, you'll ruin your body.

I guess you don't know this. Hey, haven't you watched Hollywood films?

Police officers eat doughnuts.

Hard-working officers like myself eat doughnuts, got it?

Do flour-based foods give you enough energy?

People should eat rice.

Hey, Erro. Since disconnecting your chip, you've changed.

I did? How?

I think your nagging is getting worse and worse.

- What's that? Say, "Ah." - Ah.

I can't stand your nagging anymore.

I'm leaving!

Detective Kim!

How many times have I told you? Please keep this city clean.

Yes, yes, yes.

A trespasser was in the investigation room.

Please check the records!

Don't touch that! It could be dangerous.

This is mine.

- Pardon? - I used it 20 years ago.

But Woo Jin was the last to have it.

9 p.m. on the 13th. Smart Earth.

156-9 Goyeon Building Rooftop.

Does the chairman want to meet? Why didn't he contact you himself?

Don't go. I think it's a trap.

- Why? - It's just my gut instinct.

Can you feel your gut after disconnecting your chip?

What are you going to do?

But this is Woo Jin.

- That's the Human B chairman's office. - What?

Why is Woo Jin in the chairman's office? No way...

It doesn't matter if Woo Jin is the chairman or not anymore.

I'm going no matter what.

Hey, it could be a trap!

Please stand by at this terminal with the other officers.

If anything happens, I'll send Jung Yeon. Please protect her.

Why are you talking like something's going to happen to you?

If something happens. If.

I trust you.

Hey...

[Minister Park Dong Geon]

What's this?

It's a list of the visitors from the Smart Earth investment briefing.

If the chairman were there, the visitors would have seen him.

The chairman should be in the visitors' memories.

Minister Park!

That's right. I'm a minister. I'm a public official.

That's why...

this is all I can do for you right now.

The rest is up to you.

Are you telling me to hack into those visitors' memories?

I never said that. I said it's up to you.

- Hacking? - Go immediately.

And if anything happens, go to the terminal. Chief Hong will be there.

- Detective Kim. - I'm counting on you, Lee Ho Soo.

Be careful.

Woo Jin, if you're the chairman, you'll come out.

But I hope you don't.

Are you talking about the investment briefing from January of 2022?

That's right. How did you know that?

It was top secret.

I was a reporter.

I was told that Chairman G.E.E. Brown entered Korea.

And then I found out he was at Saerim Hotel.

Oh, is that so?

Then we found out that an investment briefing was held there.

Yes.

I coincidentally heard about it after I became a minister.

- Then, I'll see you next time. - Sure.

- What are you doing? - I smell something fishy.

And my intuition has never been wrong.

What is it?

Huh? Isn't that the twin from the missing twins case?

That's not the point. It's this painting.

- I've seen this before. - What is it?

That's what I'm wondering. What is it? Why can't I remember it?

It'd be nice to have a chip in my head right now.

But it wasn't long ago when you said bad things about Smart Earth--

- Shut up! I'm trying to focus. Leave. - Why are you getting mad at me?

[January 3rd, 2022, Eric Brown checked in at Saerim Hotel.]

[Attendee List: Eric Brown, Tim Morris, Charles Fisher, Park Dong Geon]

Park Dong Geon?

- What happened? - We're forbidden from going inside.

We can't even figure out who will be attending.

Oh! Here they come! Oh!

[Park Dong Geon]

It's a list of attendees from the Smart Earth investment briefing.

If the chairman were there, the attendees would have seen him.

Yes. I coincidentally found out after I became a minister.

Tell security to stand by outside my office and escort Minister Park here.

Yes, Mayor Yoon.

Minister Park?

Mayor Yoon wants to speak with you.

Mayor Yoon?

Where did you get the list of attendees from the investment briefing?

- Why do you ask? - I'm just curious.

But there's no reason I have to tell you that.

As a former reporter, you should know that--

Because you were there.

Pardon? Me?

I know you were at the investment briefing.

If I were really there, I would have seen the chairman.

- Why would I do this? It's dangerous. - Exactly.

Why did you do that?

I took that picture.

If you were going to release Detective Kim

you should have told him the truth.

Why did you do this? It's dangerous.

Minister Park?

What's your relationship with Human B?

If you go that far, I can't refuse to tell you.

How shall I explain this?

Mayor Yoon.

About how Human B tried to forcibly insert a chip into Kim Joon Hyuk's head

why do you think that happened?

It's dangerous to kidnap someone on Smart Earth.

Don't change the subject.

I asked about your relationship with Human B.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Why do you think they kidnapped him to insert a chip?

To stop Detective Kim from talking.

That's right. Then, what's the easiest way to do that?

What do you think?

Blocking his memories.

But Joon Hyuk doesn't have a chip.

What are you saying?

I'm saying...

because Joon Hyuk doesn't have a chip in his head

they forcibly kidnapped him...

and tried to insert a chip. But...

there's no need to do that

to someone who already has a chip.

No way...

It's nice to meet you, Mayor Yoon.

I'm Chairman Park Dong Geon of Human B.

It's nice to meet you, Mayor Yoon.

I'm Chairman Park Dong Geon of Human B.

Yes, Chairman Park. Bluebird was Han Jung Yeon.

And Detective Kim was Kim Bum Gyun.

Hyun Seok, I have a plan.

I need to stay close to Kim Joon Hyuk.

Go ahead.

Joon Hyuk! Joon Hyuk!

Why are you so surprised?

I thought you wanted to see me.

How could this happen?

Mayor Yoon, do you know which emotion is the most dangerous?

Curiosity.

This is illegal. I'll report this!

I'm...

the chairman of Human B.

And there's a chip in your head that I created.

Erase it.

Why did you try to quibble over this?

That was tiring.

Mayor Yoon! Mayor Yoon!

Security! Security!

Mayor Yoon!

Mayor Yoon... Mayor Yoon...

Call for help immediately!

Yes, Minister Park.

9 p.m. on the 13th. Smart Earth.

156-9 Goyeon Building Rooftop.

This isn't a list, They're care chip addresses.

If we trace these addresses, we can get to their memory footage.

I'm Lee Hyun Seok of Human B, Minister Park.

What happened to Mayor Yoon?

From what we've gathered in the control center

it seems like it was a hacking attack by Bluebird.

Bluebird erased all of Mayor Yoon's memories.

Even if he wakes up, he won't be able to function normally.

The situation is clear. Smart Earth is under a terror attack.

And our objective is clear as well.

We must catch this violent and aggressive attacker.

We have a duty to keep Smart Earth safe and stable.

Article 2, Section 17 of Smart Earth Law Code

states that if Smart Earth is unable to operate under its government

the Ministry of Science and Economy will fulfill its duties.

From this point forward, city hall...

and Human B will begin our mission to arrest Bluebird.

Park Dong Geon of the Ministry of Science and Economy will claim the authority.

Who are you?

Park Dong Geon. That bastard had this painting.

It was that bastard.

What is it? Is there a problem?

This address doesn't belong to a person.

It's an AI.

- It's the Human B supercomputer. - Pardon?

It's a trap.

Our location is being sent to Human B.

We have to hurry.

We've secured her location.

Smart Earth District 31, 17-5.

Cut off all communication networks in District 13 and surrounding areas.

Pardon?

She hasn't fallen into our trap yet.

She detected our trap. Impressive, Han Jung Yeon.

- Cut it off. - Yes, Deputy Chief Lee.

[No Connection]

[No Connection]

- They cut off the communication network. - We have to contact him.

Detective Kim is in danger.

Answer your phone!

Why isn't he answering?

There they are!

- Get them! - Yes, sir!

They lost Bluebird.

What should we do now?

There's one more method.

Joon Hyuk!

Did you meet the chairman?

No. No one came.

Did you check on Jung Yeon? Is she safe?

- Why do you ask? - I think her location has been detected.

We need to be alert. The security team is out to get her.

Mayor Yoon is with Human B now. We have to find Jung Yeon!

Joon Hyuk.

I agreed to meet Jung Yeon somewhere.

Jung Yeon?

- What's going on? - What?

Don't you recognize this painting?

I've seen that painting before.

I saw it in Professor Park Dong Geon's office.

I heard it's yours.

Why is the chairman's painting from Handam University?

There could be multiple copies of that painting.

Are you the chairman?

It's... a misunderstanding.

I don't see a light, even though you were surprised.

I see you don't have a chip.

Article 1, Section 1 of Smart Earth Law Code.

People without a care chip cannot enter Smart Earth.

Why don't you have a chip?

What are you?

Are you... the chairman?

Jung Yeon is a bright one.

As always.

I came here myself because Jung Yeon caught on and ran off.

Fine, where's Jung Yeon?

You know where she is.

Were you... the chairman of Human B?

It's me.

After singing about how much you wanted to see me...

here we are.

How do you feel?

What will change if I get my memories back?

Everything!

I can change absolutely everything.

If I can just have you regain Byul's original memories

this entire world and all of humanity can live in a brave, grand new world.

You were able to completely analyze a human brain.

Byul was able to store her memories in a video file format

and could use that in order to block out memories.

She could choose which ones, too!

By using memory blocking, humans will never have to suffer again!

Byul.

Help me.

Where's Woo Jin?

Where's my little brother?

[Circle: Two Worlds Connected]

- Did my dad give that to you? - What are you trying to find out?

I told you to catch them!

Grandmother, I need it.

- Why are you killing kids for it? - I can save my brother!

Stop it!

Tell me where Woo Jin is!

We failed everything.

Open the door, you bastards! Open the door!

Minister Park ordered us to catch Bluebird alive.

Han Jung Yeon!

If you want to save Woo Jin, regain your memory.
