(Episode 11)

It's okay, my baby.

You trust Mommy, right?

It'll all be okay.

Let's go.

He shines light in the darkness.

He sees you wherever you may hide.

He knows what sins you commit...

with your actions and thoughts!

Stop with your stupid lies!

A baby angel?

We gave you our life savings!

But you say the same garbage for 10 years!

Frauds like you need to die!

My goodness!

He came!

He's here!

It's okay.

These people are crazy.

It's okay.

Let's go back. Don't make things any worse.

Are you here to catch us or to save us?

You have blood on your face.

Let's go.

We can still escape.

This is my first time holding our baby.

That's not how you hold a baby.

Give her to me. I'll hold her.

Zi O.

Give me the baby.

Let's go back inside.

I risked my life to get out.

This is the safest place.

No one can harm us here.

This place is a prison.

It's even worse outside.

Come on inside.

Zi O.

Zi O.

"You will cry alone in the dark."

"You will cry all together underneath my light."

"I have heard your prayers and seen your tears."

Those who bow before his presence...

will be blessed.

Only those who kneel and pray...

will receive blessings and glory.

Those who are blind to nobility...

are like dying beasts.

Thus, those who do not shed tears...

even after seeing the deity,

that makes them no better than beasts!

Our tears are like dewdrops in the evening.

But no one knows that the Almighty's teardrops...

are heavier than the waterfalls in the ocean.

Do you remember where we used to live?

I thought we had it all, but you didn't.

We have nothing.

We have no future or hope.

We don't even have any money.

Look at this place. There's nothing.

And you're still the same.

I see the future and hope here, but you don't.

What hope?

No way. I don't want to do this.

Then don't.

You don't need to.

I will walk the wicked path. You can take the nice one.

I'm willing to do anything for us.

What are you trying to do?

("Premature Lamb Grows Inside Artificial Womb")

("Premature Lamb Grows Inside Artificial Womb")

This is crazy. It's absurd.

If there are thousands of people like our baby,

no one will be able to harm her.

Increasing their number won't make them normal.

Zi O, snap out of it.

There are things humans should and should not do.

What exactly is abnormal?

If something's different from you, do you call it abnormal?

I never once thought of you as abnormal.

I'm going to break the arrogance of humans.

I'm going to show them...

that we're all free to live the way we were born.

You're trying to change humans, not the world.

You're trying to remodel human beings.

How are you any different from those people out there?

That's the only way our family can survive.

There's no good and evil when it comes to survival.

Zi O.

Have you really...

decided to become a monster?

Only as bad...

as I need to be.

I heard it was miraculous last night.

You've really made it.

There was once a mountaineer who dreamed of...

conquering the 14 peaks in the Himalayas in his 20s.

After many failed attempts,

he finally realized his dream when he was almost 50.

Since it took too long,

he couldn't be just happy about it.

But I'm sure he wasn't sad about it either.

Zi O is like a deity now,

so your dream has come true.

When we clone him, we'll take care of them.

What do you mean? We made them. Why would you look after them?

It was different when it was just Zi O, but now that it's grown,

you can't hire a private company to handle this.

We don't want them to be leaked and weaponized, do we?

But we'll continue to help you with your business.

You got it all wrong.

We've been helping you guys.

We handled all the unlawful things such as human experiments,

which an intelligence agency simply couldn't do.

My boss appreciates all your hard work.

Your boss? Who? Mr. Kim? Mr. Oh? Mr. Song? Who?

I report to many higher-ups.

Hierarchy matters a great deal where I work, you know.

Ms. Jung, don't get funny with me.

Just one word from me can get many of your higher-ups fired.

We support organizations in various sectors,

including politics, finance, culture, religion, and even sports.

When such organizations grow, we receive help from them in return.

Continuously supporting each other like that...

turns them into this huge united force.

Their vested rights are respected when things are in their favor.

When the tables turn, people call them deep-rooted evils.

But this is the only thing that matters.

That force is the main character here.

We're only minor characters in this story.

Minor characters who forget their place can ruin the whole story.

I understand what you're trying to say, so go tell your bosses.

I'll handle everything, so they don't need to overreact.

Just one word from me...

can make hundreds of people run over there with bombs.

I'll let them know.

I'm just an administrator, you know.

What's going on with Deputy Chief Kim?

We can't track Lee Son down.

As for Deputy Chief Kim, we had a talk with him,

but he's gone AWOL without a resignation letter.

I guess people develop comprehension issues when they get old.

You know?

"Are you sure you want to transfer this amount?" Yes.

Darn it! Why does this have to be so complicated?

The password was...

Okay.

Done.

- You all got it, right? - Yes, sir.

Now, this money bonds us together. We're a team,

so let's put our lives on the line.

Just do as I say, and I'll give you guys the lives you want.

Who's our target?

Darn it. I forgot to send it to you.

Kill all four of them.

If anyone gets in your way, handle them however you want.

Once the job is done,

just put this one's corpse in a body bag...

and transport it to Juan Airport refrigerated.

Upon receipt, the remainder will be deposited into your accounts.

- Any questions? - Can we use guns?

We're in Korea.

Don't you know that guns are illegal here?

When you go there, you'll find a baby.

Use the baby as a hostage. That will be the easiest.

You're dismissed. I'll let you know when and where to meet.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Who are they?

The likes of you, whom I have used and ditched.

And you were still able to assemble them?

Even ghosts respond to money. People are easy.

Is the injection bearable?

Yes.

- Any side effects? - None.

This is the last one. Take it.

Director Ryu said...

this injection makes your cells fight against each other.

The weak ones die. Only the strong ones survive.

And the ones that survive...

keep on dividing to become stronger.

Do you know what that means?

- Yes. - As if.

In a few days, your arm will burst.

I don't care.

I just need to kill Z-0.

All right.

I once risked my life for what I believed in, like you're doing now.

But it was all useless.

Be on standby.

Those crazy believers are the foundation of this place.

The fact that they kneeled before you...

means that you're now the King of this church.

Am I supposed to be happy that I'm a cult leader now?

If you think this is a mere church,

you're wrong.

This is like a hugely powerful cartel.

It's so big and deeply rooted...

that whacking just one person won't even make it budge.

A mere reform certainly can't get rid of this organization.

And that organization...

has finally begun to make use of you.

I won't let anyone use me.

You've already been used.

What will happen now that they've seen the Divinity's envoy?

These people will bring all their money, and that's nothing.

What's really scary is that these people...

will jump into the fire with bombs on their backs if you tell them to.

- I'd never say... - Right, you'd never say that.

But what about the leader?

She's capable of selling your name and doing all sorts of things.

So anyone can be her target.

That's how those people rule the world.

By causing confusion.

They cause fights between different regions, genders, and generations.

People are so busy fighting...

that they don't know who their real enemy is.

So now, if you show up,

it'll be utter chaos.

People's existing beliefs and views on religion will collapse.

And that...

is just like war.

War is the biggest moneymaker.

That's why she's roping you into this.

Is that why you made me? For those people?

After all, they're mere humans.

You will...

destroy all of them...

and establish a new order.

Order and chaos... I don't care about such grand ideas.

I just want the world to be a place where my daughter...

can go to school and have friends to hang out with.

If anyone tries to use me,

that person will be the first to die.

Don't forget why I spared you...

even after everything you put me through.

Just tell me your plans.

I'm your father.

Give us a moment.

A children's hospital in Philadelphia...

did this experiment a few years ago.

This is an artificial womb.

They placed a premature baby inside the artificial womb,

and the baby was born just like a normal healthy baby.

The US isn't the only country. Japan, Europe,

and even Korea have conducted this experiment.

I've been waiting for this technology to be perfected.

We don't even need surrogate mothers anymore.

If we have 1,000 of this, 1,000 babies will be born.

In just a year, we can create thousands of babies like you.

This is...

the biggest blessing science can give us.

If a baby is born like this,

can you call it a human?

(Umbilical Cord Connected to Tube for Oxygen and Nutrients)

What's wrong with this?

What's so special about humans?

Humans?

They're no big deal.

They're nothing special.

You said there's a minimum number any species must meet to survive.

Take my cells.

Whether that number is 1,000 or 10,000, I don't care.

Make as many as you need.

100 human eggs?

It'd be good to have about 10 more, just in case.

The believers are lining up to conceive the Divinity's child.

We can find 100 surrogate mothers in no time.

Isn't that better than using artificial wombs?

Artificial wombs are stronger and more stable.

And we can monitor how the fetuses are growing.

But the believers will be awfully disappointed.

I don't trust people.

I'll only accept the eggs.

We'll just do a few simple tests and get your blood sample.

What about bone marrow?

In the old days, they had to extract stem cells...

from the marrow or culture them using tissues.

But these days, peripheral blood is all we need.

Have you heard of immortal jellyfish?

No.

It was given that name...

because they live forever.

In human standards,

it's like an old person about to die shedding all of the aged cells...

and returning to the fetal stage.

That's what we're doing now.

If we raise the electricity to the max,

all the cells that we want to kill will die.

Only new cells will remain.

That will give us the best embryo.

Start.

It won't hurt like before.

It can't hurt anymore.

I'll raise it one by one to level six.

- Begin. - Yes, sir.

Baby.

They say the world used to be just a dot.

Space, humans, everything started from the same point.

So we were all a tiny dot in the beginning.

That dot became whales and eagles...

and people.

Amazing, isn't it?

But one day,

someone solved the secret of that dot.

He then obtained the ability to create anything he wanted.

He created people, animals,

and things that aren't people and things that aren't animals.

That is how Daddy was born.

But...

if you have a person's heart,

it makes you a real person.

Right?

You have to remember what I say.

You are not a monster.

There is a saying...

by Linji Yixuan of Zen Buddhism.

"If you meet the Buddha, kill him."

It means if anything...

gets in the way of your enlightenment,

kill it no matter what it is.

If necessary, kill yourself.

Every religion on top of ours...

teaches to deny every faith prior to achieve true faith.

Tell the leaders of each region...

to make this the main focus of their prayers.

And to select those with true faith...

and submit a list.

Great Leader.

Did the lord's tiger truly descent?

That's right.

All of my believers met him.

Why do you look so shocked?

Did you not believe that he'd truly descend?

- That's not it. - No, no.

Since we proved what we've been saying,

no one can call us a cult anymore.

How should we choose the believers?

Tell them to offer up...

that which they cherish the most.

Be it money, time, their youth...

Only those who offer everything should make the list.

We'll draw blood...

and test the level of immunity of the cells.

We'll repeat these tests for a week...

and extract the very best cells.

I have to go.

Zi O.

It's Daddy. It's Daddy.

Okay.

Baby, it's Mommy.

Mommy's here. It's okay.

I was just surprised, that's all. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Mommy's okay, so don't cry.

Please leave.

- What if she does it again? - She was startled, that's all.

It won't happen again, so please leave.

- Wipe the blood first. - Just get out!

Don't scream. You'll scare the baby.

Don't cry. Mommy's here. Mommy's okay.

Zi O.

Something's wrong with the baby.

She doesn't seem to recognize her mom.

What do you mean?

It looks like amnesia.

That's nonsense.

She's just like you.

- Amnesia... - Shut it!

It's okay.

I'm sorry. Mommy's sorry.

Mommy's fine. I'm okay.

Hello?

Come down. Let's go.

- A new operation? - They're gathering to pray.

It's the easiest day to get in.

This is the cell that generates electricity.

This is yours, and this is your daughter's.

At first, they were different.

This is from the first day.

This one's from the second day. And this is...

from the first day she generated electricity.

And this is...

from last night.

At first, I thought the cells wouldn't function due to atrophy,

but they gradually began to function like yours.

Now, they're identical to yours.

Once electricity flows through the body, all the weak cells die off.

The same goes for your brain cells.

You lose your memories.

One day, I woke up and didn't recognize anything around me.

I couldn't remember why I was there...

and how I got there. I had no recollection whatsoever.

I didn't recognize the man in the mirror...

and wasn't even sure whether I was really that person.

I thought it'd be better to just die.

I really wanted to die...

but chose to live because I wanted to find out who I really was.

But you suddenly stopped experiencing memory blocks...

even after generating electricity.

It was that day. The day I fell.

Since that day, I haven't experienced any memory blocks.

That day,

your body probably couldn't handle the voltage you generated.

I bet it killed all the weak cells,

leaving you with only the strongest cells.

The ones that can withstand such high voltage.

That's why all your memory is intact.

That is the only solution.

Electric shocks.

You'll run electricity through her body? She's only a baby.

We must train her to withstand higher voltages.

No, she's too young.

She's your daughter.

She won't die.

You never stepped out of the lab...

until you turned six.

You wanted to go out and kept pestering me,

so I promised you that we'd go on a picnic.

I told you that I'd show you the mountains and the ocean,

and you were so excited.

I had never seen you jumping around like that.

On the day of the picnic, I went to your room in the morning.

Do you know what you said to me?

"Who are you, mister?"

"What is this place?"

That's exactly what will happen to your daughter.

She'll keep on forgetting what her parents look like.

If she goes anywhere alone,

she may not come home forever. Like what happened to you.

The choice is yours.

I've never prayed before, so I don't know how this is done.

I also know that this won't change anything, but still...

Still...

Were you praying?

No, I was cursing you.

Every time I generated electricity, I experienced memory loss.

It was because the electricity burned off my brain cells.

But all the weak cells have died off.

I only have strong cells now, so the electricity...

no longer causes memory loss.

So?

It'll happen to our daughter as well.

Don't say that.

Does she recognize you?

Does she look at you when she hears your voice?

It means she lost her memory.

This is more than I can handle.

I'm already so terrified, even without you being like this.

It can be fixed.

We just need to burn off the weak cells through electric shocks.

Are you serious right now?

If that's the only way, I'd rather not fix this problem.

They made you like this.

They have no respect for humans.

I can't leave my baby in their hands.

Think about everything you've been through.

That's why I don't want my daughter to go through it.

Don't be ridiculous. I will not allow it.

Every time she generates electricity,

she'll lose all her memory.

No one knows how often it'll happen,

whether it's just once every few years or several times a year.

She won't even recognize us.

Do you know what it's like to lose your memory?

It's like living an empty life with no memories to cherish.

To be honest, I resented you.

You still deny it, but from killing my parents...

to remembering me when you lost all other memories.

I really resented you,

but not anymore.

No matter how terrifying it is, it's still my life.

Zi O.

Stop here.

I will not hand our baby over to those people, no matter what.

If you still want to take her,

you'll have to kill me first.

If you can't do that, just let us go.

I should take her to the hospital first.

I always felt guilty.

Even now, I'm sorry.

The abyss is not the shadow of death.

It lies in your every footstep.

It is not far from us.

It's simply above the path we're on.

However, those with true faith will never fall into the abyss.

They will enjoy immortality.

Once you die, it'll all be over.

You must survive and get your name on the list!

In order to do that, you must prove your true faith!

- Please! - Great Leader!

Bring me what you cherish the most.

If you bring something you cherish more than your life,

I will open the gate to paradise for you!

You made the right decision.

First, we'll run blood tests, and test cell regeneration...

and their abilities.

And then...

I know.

Begin.

Hey. Who are you people?

Stop them!

Baby.

Aren't you hot? You're dressed so warmly.

Who are you?

Who are...

We'll start the electricity test.

She'll do well.

Look at her arm.

The puncture from the needle healed already.

She heals faster than you.

Begin.

Who knew I'd actually look up to you?

Just accept it.

I'm sure you expected something grand,

but all deaths are in vain.

Don't you want to know about Yoo Na?

Don't you know why she came to me?

It was because of you.

Yoo Na requested just one thing.

Your freedom.

She agreed to give me the embryos...

if I gave you your freedom.

But Z-0 came that day.

He killed her.

We have no reason to do this.

I know.

Don't waste Yoo Na's death.

I'll give you everything.

I can give you much more than freedom.

You think you can kill me?

You insect.

How are you people exactly the same?

Don't do this. Don't do this.

Don't kill me. Don't do this!

Kill him! Kill them all! Every single one of them!

What's going on?

Is the private jet ready?

I sent you the video.

Even if his cells die,

they'll be fine for 24 hours.

Let's stick to the rules of this industry.

Give me the money when I hand over the corpse.

Ms. Jung. Ms. Jung, things here are...

Send backup now. Hurry. Hurry.

We're ready.

Start with 1kw.

Wait. Wait.

It's something we have to do at some point.

Later.

When she's a bit older.

You endure your pain.

The baby will endure hers.

- Start. - Yes, sir.

Hey, you!

Get her out of here.

Please wait in your room, and...

You're unqualified to be a dad...

or a human being.

Don't open it!

Don't open it!

Kill them all.

Let's go.

Gu Reum.

Get out.

Gu Reum.

I came to save you.

I won't fall for that again.

Get up and turn around.

Hey, kid.

Darn it. Hey!

Get up!

Hands up and turn around.

We don't have time for this. We have to get out...

Hey!

Stop shooting!

There are so many bad guys here. You should save your bullets.

- Happy? - Turn around.

Hey. Shoot everyone who comes out from here. Okay?

- Everyone but me, okay? - Shut your mouth and walk.

Stop!

Gu Reum! Shoot! Shoot him!

- Captain. - Gosh.

The baby...

slept through that.

You punk.

I said I came to save you.

Gosh.

You did? Why?

This isn't right.

Give me the gun and go.

I'll hold them off somehow, so go.

No. Go with us. You have to go with us.

- Get up. Get up now. - Gosh.

You really don't listen.

- Get up now. - Fine.

Gu Reum!

- Hang on. - There.

There. My car.

Hold on.

Give me the baby.

Here.

Drive carefully.

You shouldn't speed with a baby on board.

Hang on. We'll be at the hospital soon.

Okay. Stop freaking out.

Back in the day,

we used to put a bandage on it and report for duty the next day.

Why did you do this then?

You couldn't be a bad guy until the end.

I know.

I should've...

killed her then.

What do you mean? Kill who?

I told you...

that there was someone I've been hunting for over 10 years.

It was obvious...

it was her.

But no one could touch her.

The police wouldn't investigate,

and the prosecutors wouldn't indict.

I was so angry.

But I got more and more scared.

Once I got on my knees,

the world changed.

I got promoted to captain...

and got lots of bonuses.

Darn it.

I should've killed her then.

Then I wouldn't have lived like this.

Hey, kid.

Kid.

Open the armrest.

Later.

Open it now, kid.

See the business card?

Kim Chul Soo.

It's him.

(Kim Chul Soo)

What is?

The one who killed...

your parents.

It wasn't Zi O.

It was him.

What do you mean?

He's the one who framed you...

for murder too.

Is that true?

Captain.

Captain.

Captain.

Captain.

Captain. Wake up.

Captain! Wake up.

Captain! We're almost at the hospital,

so please wake up. Please.

Captain! We're almost at the hospital! Wake up!

Captain. Captain.

Captain. Wake up.

Wake up.

Please wake up.

Captain!

No.

You can't do this.

Did you run away from me?

Why?

Why?

I found out that you didn't kill my parents.

I'm sorry that I suspected...

No. I'm sorry that I was sure it was you.

I'm really glad it wasn't you.

That gave me the strength to do whatever I can to live.

That's good then.

So why did you run away?

You scare me.

You wanted to run tests on our baby.

Do you think I wanted to?

Gu Reum.

Is your pain now more important than the pain she'll suffer later?

Do you know what the last element is...

that makes a human a human being?

Love.

You used to have that.

But now, you don't.

What use is it if you love someone but you can't protect them?

The entire world shuns us and judges us.

Should we just take it?

Is that love?

Should the three of us live in hiding somewhere?

Is that what you want?

Wasn't that what you wanted?

You said the world was like scenery.

That it was fine to look at it from afar.

We weren't parents then.

We can't live for just ourselves anymore.

I wish I could return to the days when I knew nothing.

This is that time.

We can live like that.

Sure.

You're not a monster, Zi O.

But we made you a monster.

- If we leave... - No.

If we leave, you don't have to live as a monster.

Don't go.

I'm sorry.

Thank you...

and I loved you a lot.

Don't go. Don't you do that too.

Don't you do that too. Don't go!

Don't do this. Don't do this, Gu Reum.

No. I love you, Gu Reum.

Gu Reum! No! No!

(L.U.C.A.: The Beginning)

I asked you. Is that your plan?

I'm pretty much entrusting you with my life.

Please trust me just this once.

Find someone for me.

Run away.

If you get caught,

your daughter will be a human test subject...

and will die a pathetic death.

I have no reason to become like everyone else.

I'm not a complete human anyway.

That's why I liked you. Because you weren't complete.

I know for sure now.

Human beings are not good.
