You gotta get tested before you board.

-Move it. -[man 3] All belongings must be placed

[electricity crackles]

You can come with.

You know I can't go with you.

[Seo-hae's father sighs]

Do you remember what I said? Let me hear it.

The first thing when you arrive.

Say what happens.

I have to run.

And make sure nobody ever catches you. Do you understand?

If you're captured, don't speak to anybody.

Pretend you're a mute and don't talk. You got it?

Mm-hmm.

-But we should go together-- -The second thing.

-[somber music plays] -Come on.

"Do not trust anyone." [sobs]

You have to protect yourself

because you'll never know who might be out to get you.

Don't trust anyone. Seriously, no one. Do you understand?

-I understand. -Good.

The third thing, what was it?

Come on.

-[man 1] 250811. -[Seo-hae's father] Yeah. Coming.

Come on now. The third thing.

[sobs, sniffles]

"Han Tae-sul."

[sighs] Han Tae-sul.

Make sure you stay away from him.

You must never meet him. And never talk to him, understand?

[sobs] What about my mother?

What happens if mom dies? [sobs]

Everybody dies.

[cries]

How am I supposed to leave you here?

-[inhales sharply] -When you're there, you'll find good food,

you'll find your favorite fruits too.

Not the canned ones, actual fruit.

[sobs]

[Seo-hae's father] So just go there.

And do everything you ever wanted to do.

Eat whatever you want.

-[Seo-hae sniffles] -You go live life to the fullest.

[Seo-hae's father] Okay?

Will you do that?

-[man 1] 250811. -[Seo-hae's father] Coming.

Promise me.

If you don't promise me, you can't go.

Hey. You, come here.

Yes. How can I help you, sir?

You call this thing here ramyeon?

Take a look at this. You're not blind, right?

These noodles are overcooked. Soggy.

Do you actually expect me to eat this disgusting piece of trash?

Huh? You take a bite.

What? You can't eat it?

You can't, huh? You're gonna eat this

and then you're gonna make me a new one, you hear?

[Tae-sul] Hey.

It will come out the same way.

Where are we right now?

Hmm? Flying 10,000 meters above the ground.

The decreased air pressure lowers the boiling point of the water.

And that's why your ramyeon tastes so crappy.

Didn't you learn that in science class?

-[upbeat music] -[man] Who are you, huh?

COVER STORY HAN TAE-SUL, QUANTUM & TIME

[Tae-sul] Hmm.

[sighs] I don't look that good in this picture.

I was at the lab when we took this.

Our Hawaiian-themed shoot will be coming out soon.

If you give me your number, I'll send them to you.

Have you ever been there?

I haven't.

Oh. I haven't been there either.

-[stewardess] Why is that? -[Tae-sul] Well, you know…

If I ever fall for someone, I would like to take her there.

-Ah. -[laughs]

-Mm-hmm. -[man clears throat]

Just saying.

So just thank her for the food and eat it.

Hey, you.

I'm not gonna eat it.

Hmm…

Then by late tonight or tomorrow morning,

you'll be all over the Internet as the rude ramyeon guy from the plane.

[man] Take a look at this. You're not blind, right?

These noodles are overcooked. Soggy.

Do you actually expect me to eat this disgusting piece of trash?

Shit.

You take a bite.

[whispers] Thank you so much.

[whispers] Sorry.

Can I get a water when you get a chance?

Of course. Right away, sir.

Your number too.

[Tae-sul] Hmm.

[upbeat music continues]

[camera shutter clicks]

[man chuckles]

Uh, but she's not your type, is she?

Yeah, anyway.

I'm gonna say these first-class seats are very comfortable, huh.

[chuckles] I'm so proud of you, little bro.

And the quality of this wine… [gasps]

…is seriously no joke. [laughs]

Have a glass.

[chuckles]

Hey, Tae-sul, I read an article recently that said,

uh, if the brain is kept on a state of stress

like yours all the time,

your immune system's suppressed.

Uh, what was it called? Adrenaline. Yeah, adrenaline.

If your body makes too much of that, that's not good.

That's what the article said. [chuckles]

Hey. Hey, Tae-sul.

I'm talking to you. Why aren't you looking at me?

Are you mad at me or something?

Why do you keep ignoring me?

I'm not looking… [exhales]

…because you're dead.

-[Tae-sul grunts] -What the hell are you doing?

[Tae-sul] Can't you tell? I'm trying to fix the plane.

With that?

[Tae-sul] During World War II,

they fixed all the aircraft with this.

[grunts]

-[copilot] Air Koreana 007. -[grunts]

[copilot] 7700!

-Wait. -[indistinct chatter]

[stewardess] Stay seated. Put your seatbelt on.

[wind gusting]

[Tae-sul] All right. Here we go.

[sighs] Let's see.

It's hovering around 120.

-[alarm blaring] -It's about to stall. Okay, wait, wait.

Oh, look. The power's only down for the control panel.

If I can get it back up, are you able to land safely?

What?

Can you do it?

-Yeah, I can. -Okay.

-We're above sea level at 20,000 feet. -[alarm blaring]

Which means we've got three minutes and 30 seconds.

Hey.

Alert me every 30 seconds. You got it?

Take it.

-[Tae-sul sighs] -[alarms blaring]

[whooshing]

Thirty seconds down.

Okay.

I'll divert the current with a magnet.

The magnet is…

[grunts]

[Tae-sul] All right, let's see…

[exhales] There.

[grunts]

-[groans] -What are you doing?

Stop! You can't tear that off!

There's a magnet inside here.

[Tae-sul sighs] Here, look.

Do you really need this right now? The plane's falling!

Ah, shit. It might actually die.

[Tae-sul grunting]

Whoo.

All right, let's see here.

Which one of you isn't working? Hold on.

Another 30 seconds down. Two minutes and 30 seconds left.

Let's see, uh…

This is the one. Hey, you got a lighter?

[grunting]

[cell phone vibrating]

[Tae-sul] Come on. Come on. Come on.

-Hey. Hey! -What?

Ugh, this prick. I'm too busy right now.

I gotta take this call. [sighs]

Hey, Seung-bok.

Hey, where are you? My calls weren't going through.

The board members are going nuts.

-[all muttering] -[chuckles]

I got Mr. Han here. He answered.

[all groan, mutter]

[Seung-bok] Hey, if you keep missing these board meetings

and causing trouble, you're gonna get fired.

It's my company. They can't do that.

Oh, sh… Anyway, where are you now?

Me? On a plane.

A plane?

Okay, then, how the hell did the call go through?

Oh, and the plane is falling right now.

What?

[tense music]

Hey, listen, I'm really not in the mood for jokes right now, okay?

[Tae-sul] I'm not joking.

You can get a signal when flying at lower altitudes.

You said you couldn't get through earlier, right?

Oh, come on, enough.

Hey, you gotta call someone about this. The airport or 911.

Air Koreana J007, arriving from Saipan.

[Tae-sul] Flying over Seoul now but falling.

We're flying below 10,000 feet at the moment.

We're flying at 100 knots.

The captain… Well, the captain's dead.

But the copilot is not doing good right now.

He seems down a bit.

There was a 10-centimere wide hole in the front window here,

but I've taped it up.

I just need to fix the electrical system now.

[whooshing]

So? Where is he at right now?

Will he be joining us?

Oh, yes. He's… he's on his way right now.

[sighs]

You prick.

If this is some sort of prank, then you're dead meat, you hear?

[sighs] Give me that.

[exhales]

The plane is what? I can't believe this prick.

It's falling? It's bullshit.

BREAKING NEWS: AIR KOREANA JH007 STALLING OVER SEOUL, OUT OF CONTACT

Han Tae-sul.

Are you pulling this prank because you saw it was on the news?

[groans] Seriously?

Oh.

[exhales]

What do you think? Cool, huh?

Hey.

You've gotta be kidding me. He's crazy. Hey.

Hurry. You call Air Koreana right now!

Now!

Hey, Seung-bok.

Start recording this call.

-What? -[Tae-sul] I said record this call.

[exasperated sigh] Why do you want me to record you?

Come on, hurry. Are you ready?

[Seung-bok sighs]

Yes, ready. Speak.

I, Han Tae-sul…

will liquidate my savings, stocks, certificates of deposit,

and real estate properties with the exception of the penthouse

and donate 50 percent of the cash to go set up a private foundation.

You can name it what you want.

The other 50 percent will be put toward the company's R&D funds.

And all of my stock options

will be transferred to the Quantum & Time employees,

everyone except for the executives.

Hey, what the hell are you saying, huh?

Last will and testament.

You can have my penthouse.

Are you nuts?

Fair enough? Then you can also have my Porsche and Lamborghini.

My Maybach, Range Rover and 63 AMG

will be given to Yeo Bong-seon, my bodyguard.

Tell him I appreciate everything he's done for me.

That's it. We're crashing in 50 seconds. Stop recording.

-Did you stop? -[groans]

Yeah, I did.

Hold on. [grunts]

Hey, this thing is just between us.

I won't say it twice, so listen carefully.

This is my password to the safe in the penthouse. 1-0-0…

[whispers] 100811. 100811.

Oh, when we went public, August 11th?

Destroy the research documents in there.

One more thing, I need to tell you something.

You… your girlfriend back in college? What was her name? What was it?

That bitch? Yu-ri. Yu-ri.

Yeah, Yu-ri.

I'm the one who went to Wolmido with her.

I'm sorry. I thought of her because this feels like…

one of those rides there.

I'm sorry, Eddy. Anyway, take care of yourself.

[exhales]

[groans] Tae-sul, shit…

[Seung-bok sighs]

Some breaking news this afternoon.

Air Koreana JH007 was scheduled to arrive…

-Mr. Han said he is on his way. -…at Incheon Airport from Saipan

-at 2:00 p.m. today. -[all muttering]

But the control tower lost communication with the aircraft at 1:53 p.m.

-He's on that flight there. -Fire Services

are on standby at the airport.

Ready to tackle the worst case scenario.

-The control tower… -[all muttering]

…is trying to locate the aircraft at the moment.

It's been confirmed that Han Tae-sul, CEO of Quantum & Time,

is one of the passengers onboard at Air Koreana flight.

[aircraft engine droning]

[Tae-sul groans]

[reporter 1] Quantum & Time CEO Han Tae-sul,

who was in critical condition,

regained consciousness this morning.

On the 15th of last month,

CEO Han Tae-sul managed to miraculously fix

Air Koreana flight JH007

on its return from Saipan.

The aircraft experienced electrical problems

but Han Tae-sul stepped in and saved the lives of…

[reporter 2] The authorities believe it was caused by a bird strike.

-A condition between an airborne… -[reporter 3] There are countless posts

and comments on social media wishing for a speedy recovery.

His fans are all coming out

and girls referring to him

as their "Sexy Brainiac" and "Engineering Heartthrob".

[reporter 4] After he is released from the hospital,

Han Tae-sul plans to continue with his treatment at home.

While Quantum & Time is refusing to comment

on CEO Han's current condition,

everyone is paying close attention to his recovery and future plans.

[reporter 5] CEO Han Tae-sul,

who was hospitalized in critical condition on the 15th,

has miraculously regained consciousness

and was discharged from the hospital around noon today.

Since the launch of Q20,

-he has taken the world by storm… -[Bong-seon] You can go in now.

[reporter 5] …and the company now faces a crisis

as he is still recovering from the accident.

At this moment, we do not know whether or not he'll be attending

Quantum & Time's conference scheduled to take place in August.

-All eyes are on whether… -[Bong-seon] Hey, hurry, this way.

Oh, come on, it's not even that heavy.

[reporter 5] As reported earlier, the authorities believe

that it was likely caused by a bird strike.

A collision between an airborne animal and the aircraft.

They're currently still investigating the black box recordings.

And they hope to discover more on what caused the accident.

[monitor beeping]

Ugh. Not that photo again. Why are they always using that one?

[Tae-sul] Go to our PR team and rip that damn photo to pieces.

Hey, Bong-seon.

Are you disappointed?

My Maybach and Range Rover are almost yours, huh.

I'm not, sir.

No?

You fool.

[Tae-sul] "Dear Mr. Han Tae-sul."

Oh, my.

She wants me to marry her. [chuckles]

This girl Hae-na who wrote this letter in first grade.

-How am I supposed to respond to this? -[inhales sharply]

How about this? Hmm…

"Dear Hae-na. Hae-na, by the time that you're old enough

to get legally married,

the telomeres would be so short that all of the cells inside my body

won't be able to go through my toes as properly anymore.

So I think you should find yourself someone with healthier cells."

-What? -You don't get it?

[inhales sharply] How about this? Um…

Hae-na. I will be…

receiving my pension by that point in time.

That's good? Hmm?

[TV beeps]

Why did you do that?

[remote thuds]

[Tae-sul] What's with you?

Oh, man, you're sulking again?

[groans] Here we go.

It's because of what happened at Wolmido?

I shouldn't have said anything.

Hey, listen. I… I didn't even hold her hand.

[grunts]

[sucks teeth]

[exhales] "Board Resolution.

If CEO Han Tae-sul

continues to endanger the company's…" What is this?

They passed this when you were dead.

I was dead?

You were brain-dead. I told you that.

[chuckling] Hey.

You're telling me the board attempted to oust the founder of the company

while he was trying to get a little rest?

After saving the lives of 261 people?

This is precisely why I keep telling you to attend the meetings.

Why do you always have to cause so much trouble, huh?

[Tae-sul] What trouble did I cause?

Was what happened on the plane my fault? Was I the one that caused that accident?

How come you left town, huh?

-I needed space. -You didn't tell me.

Why should I?

Risperidone, amisulpride, diazepam, zolpidem.

You thought I didn't know?

[Seung-bok] Hey, druggie, listen to me.

Things have changed. The company is huge now.

You need to be more responsible!

The lives of 100,000 people depend on you,

so please quit the drugs and get some help, okay?

And if I don't?

Tae-san is dead.

[dramatic music]

You son of a…

-[Tae-sul inhales sharply] -[Seung-bok] It's been hard for me too.

I know that you guys were very close.

-And that day-- -[Tae-sul] Hey.

Get out of here right now.

Get help and stop the drugs.

I won't be able to help you anymore if you don't.

-[Seung-bok] Tae-sul… -[sighs]

…snap out of it already, man. You were never like this.

I was always like this.

You're not messed up, this isn't who you are.

You put your life on the line to save others.

Not everybody would do that.

[Tae-sul] Bullshit.

I don't care if they died or not.

Something wasn't working so I made it work.

That's it. End of story.

My god.

-[dramatic music continues] -[exhales]

[monitor beeps]

[pill bottle clatters]

[exhales]

[woman] It's been a month since the accident occurred.

How are you feeling these days?

[Tae-sul] Well, you know, I've been well.

[woman] Are there days when you can't sleep

or have flashbacks of the accident?

[Tae-sul] Never.

How much sleep did you get last night?

[sighs] I didn't sleep at all.

-Why not? -Because I just couldn't.

[Tae-sul] Seo-jin.

Stop this doctor crap and just give me some pills.

[chuckles softly]

[Seo-jin] I can't prescribe you pills.

Not anymore.

The company wants me to submit reports.

[inhales deeply]

"The company"? [sighs]

I'm the CEO of that company.

I guess you forgot that, huh?

CEO…

you have to stay for a full session with me

or else, I can't turn in this report.

Is that so?

That means… [sucks teeth]

…you're observing me now.

Take a seat, CEO.

Hey, let's be clear about this one thing.

You're the one who dumped me. Right?

Didn't you go on a trip to the Maldives with that famous singer

that you thought was so sexy?

Wasn't that why?

Yes, exactly.

[Tae-sul] Hmm.

[sighs]

Have you been hallucinating?

No.

I'll cooperate if you promise to prescribe me those drugs.

[clicks tongue]

Let's discuss your brother, shall we?

[dramatic music]

Let's talk about the relationship you had with him and who he was to you.

[inhales deeply] I don't know what to say.

I heard you two were having difficulties

right before he passed away. Isn't that true?

You guys had a fight, right?

What was it about?

Nothing happened, okay? Stop this. I'm done.

Just give me those pills now.

The pills are supplementary aids.

What happened between the two of you during that fight?

Do you…

regret what happened that day?

[dramatic music continues]

[applause]

[Tae-san] Tae-sul!

Tae-sul!

CONGRATULATIONS QUANTUM & TIME LISTED ON NASDAQ

Tae-sul!

I'm his brother. Why? Don't we look alike?

[guard 1] Do not go in, sir.

-Wait. Hold on. Let me get in there. -[guard 2] You can't go in, sir.

[Tae-san] Let go of me.

Hey, I told you I'm Tae-sul's brother.

-It's okay. I'm sorry. -Sir.

-Tae-sul. -What is it?

Sorry. We need to talk. It's urgent.

I saw them. I saw them.

Do you remember what I told you?

-Enough. -I'm dead serious.

They were carrying suitcases with them.

Have you been drinking?

Uh, well, I did drink. But that's not why I'm telling you this.

Tae-sul. The director's about to talk.

Tae-san. It's good to see you. I'll go back in.

Stop, go home now. I'll call you later.

-This is very important-- -So is this, okay?

And it concerns you.

You know we're not the only ones living here.

There are people who aren't from this world that are living among us.

These people…

-they are watching us right now-- -Tae-san, please.

Seriously, please, that's enough.

Listen carefully. Those bastards… they're looking for you.

-Why are you being like this? -This is… this is real.

They're looking for you. They're coming for you.

And where are they coming from? Who are they, huh?

Well, that's not important. The important thing…

[man] All right, let's hear a few words from CEO Han Tae-sul,

who we're all so proud of.

Mr. Han.

Mr. Han?

Hear that?

We're listed on the Nasdaq now. We've secured investors.

-Look, Tae-sul-- -You're a shareholder.

Take this. I'll call you later and then we can talk, okay?

Come on. Take it.

This isn't about the money, you know that. Right?

Just give me five minutes. Please.

Look, I know you've been through a lot, but I can't keep dealing with this.

-But I-- -Tae-san,

I'll do what I can to compensate you for everything.

Oh, no. I'm just really worried about you.

-What if something bad happens-- -Tae-san.

If you truly care about me, then…

stop this, man.

Hey, wait a minute.

-Let's step outside-- -Seriously, what's the matter with you?

-I'll explain everything to you. -I said I'll call you!

-They tapped our phones. We can't do that. -Enough!

[dramatic music]

[exhales]

[gasps]

[dramatic music continues]

[sighs]

[huffs]

Tae-sul.

Wait, Tae-sul. Tae… Tae-sul! Tae-sul!

Tae-sul. Tae-sul.

-Tae-sul. Tae-sul. -[man] Mr. Han.

Say a few words.

[applause]

[Tae-sul] Well…

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Uh… I wouldn't be where I am today without…

well, without the help I received from so many people.

But there's someone I would personally like to thank the most.

He's standing right here. The chairman of the board.

-Please give him a hand. -[crowd clapping]

[dramatic music]

[inhales, exhales]

[Bong-seon clears throat]

Everything okay?

Yeah, of course.

[exhales]

[huffs]

[cell phone vibrates]

[Seung-bok] Got the counseling report. Well done.

Keep up the good work.

Now, just make sure you attend the management meeting tomorrow.

[ominous music]

[tires screech]

[gasps]

What?

[groans] Who's this punk? What the hell?

Hey. Are you crazy?

Hey, asshole. What's the matter with you?

Uh…

-Come here. -[grunts]

Come on, you punk.

Hey, Bong-seon, wait. Hold on.

[gasps, pants]

Let him go. I think I know this guy.

[pants]

Are you all right?

[copilot] Stall.

Stall!

We're gonna crash!

[cries]

It's you.

The airplane. You're the copilot.

Who did this? What happened to you, huh?

The Control Bureau.

Are you…

are you one of them?

What?

It wasn't a bird.

I saw it.

What did you see?

[shudders]

The suitcase.

What?

-[chilling music] -[copilot shuddering]

[inhales, exhales]

Hey.

-[computer beeps] -[sighs]

[beeps]

[pensive music]

[pilot speaking Hangul] We're experiencing

some turbulence at the moment.

Please return to your seats and keep your seat belts fastened.

[in English] Ladies and gentlemen--

-[computer beeps] -What was that?

A suitcase?

[copilot] Air Koreana 007. 7700!

-[whooshes] -[gasps]

[beeps]

What is that? Is that a person?

[chimes]

[pensive music continues]

[beeps]

Tae-san.

[exhales]

[gasps]

[foreboding music]

-[man] There should be more, you punk. -[grunts]

Hey, are you blind or something, boy? Take a good look, huh.

I'm missing 30,000 won!

I didn't take it.

-You little shit. -Ow!

Please don't hit me, sir.

Shut up, you… you little liar.

I swear I didn't steal it. You collected the money yourself.

-I don't know anything. -Ay, what a little shit.

Oh, I really don't know.

I told you.

You little…

Yeah.

Clean up before you leave for the day. Got it?

Oh.

GOOD FORTUNE

[door chime tinkles]

[quirky music]

Hmm. Thirty thousand won.

[chuckles] It's 50,000 won.

Hmm.

Oh…

Money doesn't grow on trees.

I can't make my rent and pay off my debt.

[distant siren blares]

[sighs] I'll send it, okay.

[scoffs] Yeah. I heard you.

How's Go-eun?

Again?

[sighs] All right.

Okay. I heard you.

[scoffs] You don't need to worry

'cause I'm doing fine here.

Mm-hmm. Good night.

[cell phone beeps]

Oh. [sighs]

I'll never be able to get out of this hellhole.

-[thuds] -[plastic bags rustling]

[ominous music]

Damn it. Those stray cats again.

[hisses]

[man exhales] You scared the crap out of me.

[stammers] Hey. What are you doing?

Hmm. You don't speak English?

Oh, shit.

[in Mandarin] Are you Chinese?

[in Nihonggo] Are you Japanese?

[yelps]

[grunts]

[in English] Uh, don't hurt me. Don't hurt me.

[grunts]

[shudders]

Food.

[upbeat music]

[line rings]

[operator] What's your emergency?

[man stammers] Are you the police?

A really strange woman is in the restaurant. She just came in.

[operator] Okay, sir. Can you explain to me in what way she is strange?

Well, she speaks English, so she's not a foreigner.

[exhales] I mean, she's weird.

[operator] Can you describe to me what she looks like?

[man] I think she's wearing pajamas.

And no shoes.

She has a suitcase on her and that's it. She's…

What the…

[Seo-hae munching]

[footsteps approaching]

[man] Wow.

[cleaver clinks]

[man] Whoa.

Damn it. [sighs]

[host] Let's find out what the second lucky number is.

The second number is 21.

All right, it's time to find out the third lucky number.

[muffled] Twenty-two.

[host] After 21, it's 22.

All right.

-I see the balls bouncing… -Eight?

[host] I can't wait to see the fourth number.

The next number is eight.

[man] Huh?

What?

-Is this last week's? -[host] Now, let's find out

the fifth lucky number.

-What number will it be? -It's 18.

[host] Oh. And it's 18.

Huh? What?

[host] The sixth number is 38!

Now, we'll draw the bonus ball for the second prize.

Hmm, ten.

[host] And it's ten.

-That's it for the 912th draw… -Oh.

-[newscaster] CEO Han Tae-sul… -Hey, how did you guess that?

…who was hospitalized in critical condition on the 15th,

has miraculously regained consciousness

and was discharged from the hospital around noon today.

Since the launch of Q20,

-he has taken the world by storm… -[man] Hey.

I asked you how you knew the numbers?

[newscaster] …he's still recovering from the accident.

-Han Tae-sul. -[newscaster] At this moment,

-we do not know… -[beeps]

…whether or not he'll be attending Quantum & Time's conference

scheduled to take place in August.

-All eyes are on whether… -[grunts, yelps]

-[man groans] -[electricity crackles]

[man panting] What is that?

[heaves]

Oh, shit. What was that?

[pants]

Oh.

Oh, oh, what…

[gasping]

Where is she?

[man] Oh.

Oh.

[groans] What the hell, man.

[foreboding music]

[birds chirping]

[distant car engine revs]

-[thuds] -[man] Oh. You're up.

[scoffs]

My bag.

It's over there. Look.

[scoffs]

[exhales]

[sighs]

[somber music]

[exhales]

You passed out all of a sudden.

Uh…

Oh. Look. You seemed to like this yesterday.

If you peel it like this…

it tastes even better.

Here.

[sniffs]

[man] Hey. Hey.

So, what's your story? Are you a…

[whispers] …runaway?

[man] Hmm. [sighs]

What… what? Is there anything else you need?

If you're good then…

can I get your help on this?

Han Tae-sul.

Huh?

Quantum & Time's Han Tae-sul. Call him.

[tense music]

-[Bong-seon] Sir. -Yeah?

[beeps]

Here.

[machine beeps, whirs]

[Tae-sul grunts]

Whoa.

You did good. They just handed this over?

I just said you asked for it and they gave it to me.

-Whoa. Thanks, man. -Hmm.

They did ask me why you needed it.

[inhales, exhales]

I'm just curious, that's it.

That was my response, sir.

Nice. Good night.

-Good night, sir. -Bye.

[Bong-seon] Sir!

[Tae-sul] Shit.

Where are you going, sir?

Uh… birdwatching.

You're what?

The VP wants you to attend the meeting today.

Hey, have you ever experienced a plane crash?

It's extremely traumatic.

I mean, I can't be around people right now. I can't handle it.

I need some time to myself. That's what the doctor said.

You understand.

-Well, yes, sir, I… I do. -Hmm? Well, I'll see you later.

Go grab yourself some lunch.

Uh… Well then, you be safe, sir.

SEUNG-BOK

THE MEETING'S STARTED. WHERE ARE YOU?

[exhales]

[Seo-jin] Do you regret what happened that day?

That's enough. Cut the doctor crap and just prescribe me the damn pills.

Look, you keep trying to avoid all of this,

but that's not gonna help you get through it.

I'm doing this because I'm worried about you as a friend. Okay?

You need to take this seriously.

Your brother wouldn't want to see you like this.

You know that's true, right?

So will you then please…

just open up and share what's on your mind when you hear it, Tae-sul.

"Regret"?

Do I regret it?

[chuckles]

I do.

Since then…

there hasn't been a single day where I haven't thought about it.

When I'm eating, when I shower,

when I'm driving, when I'm lying in bed,

it will suddenly pop into my head.

He died on the spot.

The body is quite damaged, you won't really recognize him.

[somber music]

[Tae-sul gasps]

[sobs]

[crying]

-Tae-san. -[doctor] His bag was found with the body.

Did this belong to your brother?

[crying]

[somber music continues]

[crying]

[sighs]

KIMCHI RAMYEON

[huffs]

[sobs]

[crying]

[Tae-sul] I shouldn't have been so harsh to him that day.

I shouldn't have kicked him out like that.

I should've at least asked him to wait so I could give him a proper goodbye.

I should've called him right away.

I should have said…

to everyone, "This guy's my brother."

That's what I should have done.

When I'm with strangers, I laugh, chitchat and act like they're my best friends

but I know I never…

I never thank my brother for anything.

Had I known that would be the last time…

I would have…

[sighs]

…even if it's just once…

I'd do anything to go back to that day.

I can't and I know that. It doesn't work that way.

I just…

I wish he could come back to life.

That's all. I just miss my brother.

I miss him so much it hurts.

What am I supposed to do?

Just get over it?

Just move on, right?

It's not that simple.

How in the world do I do that, huh?

So, please, just…

[exhales] …prescribe me those pills.

Please, Seo-jin.

I'm dying inside.

[sighs]

[Tae-sul exhales]

[beeps]

[line ringing]

[operator] We love our customers.

Thank you for calling Quantum & Time. I'm customer service agent Lee Eun-ji.

Here you go.

May I please speak with Han Tae-sul? It's really urgent.

[Eun-ji] Ma'am, you mean you have a complaint about our product or service?

Is that correct?

I said I need to speak with Han Tae-sul immediately.

[Eun-ji] I understand, ma'am.

But I'm afraid I cannot transfer this call to our CEO at the moment.

If there's something you'd like to say to him,

I'll transfer you to our VOC center.

[line rings]

Hello, this is Han Tae-sul of Quantum & Time.

Tae-sul?

[Tae-sul] Here at Quantum & Time,

we're always happy to receive your valued feedback.

Listen to me very carefully. There are people observing you.

Be it a suggestion or a complaint, whatever it is,

we're all ears and we truly appreciate your feedback.

Please record your message after the tone.

Do you hear me? They're coming for you.

You have to run. If you get caught, you'll die.

These guys are more dangerous than you realize.

Do not…

trust anybody.

[inhales sharply]

Hello, Mr. Kim.

Yes. I'll give you all the details in person.

That's right.

I haven't told anyone at the company yet.

Yes, by the intersection.

I've been there.

Yes, Mr. Kim, see you then.

[foreboding music continues]

DO NOT OPEN THE SUITCASE! (CALL HAN TAE-SUL!) TAKE IT AND RUN?

The suitcase.

Whatever you do, don't open it.

[thuds]

[ominous music]

[Seo-hae] You must not open it. If you open it, we're all screwed.

I just need you to wait.

I'm coming for you.

-Until then, you just-- -[Tae-sul] Great.

We thank you for your feedback.

We greatly appreciate it. Your words of encouragement

and candid feedback are immensely helpful to us.

Thank you for calling. I hope you have a great day.

We love our customers.

Jeez.

-[leaves rustling] -[tense music]

[camera whirs]

Hey, smile a little, all right?

-[chuckles] -[camera shutter clicks]

You feel good? [laughs]

My god, how did you do all this? It must have cost a fortune.

You happy? You'll pay me back for all of this, you know that?

I will. Of course. For sure.

Okay.

-Ooh. -Yeah.

Ho, ho, ho.

[Tae-sul] Oh?

What's the password?

-Your birthday. -You picked that of all things?

All of my passwords are your birthday, you know.

-Sir, did you get married? -No, no. I don't know this woman.

You married someone you don't know?

What are you? Are… are you a ghost?

[man 1] Please don't kill me. P… please don't kill me.

The Enforcers are here.

What?

-[Seo-hae] We have to go away. -[man 1] Go where?

They've already seen you with me so they'll kill you.

I can't go.

[man 2] Illegal immigrants walking around in broad daylight?

I'm not going to die today.

[man 3] Did you bring it?

Then you should've called.

-I'm an enforcement agent. -From where?

Sir, what's important…

isn't "where we're from".

-Who are they? -The Enforcers.

[man 4] They're some nasty bastards.

If you get caught, you won't make it out alive.

If you want to know what's going on, you gotta do as I say.

Why don't you join us?

"Run."

Let go. Let me go, I said!
