It sure is. It's not a river.

It's Haeundae.

"Haeundae"? What's that?

What? You've never heard of it?

Oh, is this your first time here?

What have you been doing all this time? You've never visited Busan before?

That's Haeundae over there.

[driver] It's very nice.

The Gwangan Bridge, the Jagalchi Fish Market…

There are so many awesome places to visit.

Seo-jin, remember, not when we're outside.

Are we "outside" right now?

[both laugh]

What are you doing after this?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I have to have dinner with the chairman. Some investors are joining us too.

[exhales]

Okay. Then…

meet after.

[light chuckle] Meet after?

Stop it.

[Seo-jin] Stop what?

[Seung-bok] How do I look?

[Seo-jin] Let me see here.

Great, but there is one…

little thing.

What's that?

What do you think? [giggles]

[Seo-jin] Your tie is crooked.

[both laugh]

-Okay, there. Mm. -Fixed it?

-Seo-jin. -Hmm?

Do you remember when Tae-sul asked us if we were seeing each other?

I literally froze.

Me too. So wait, he's really not coming today?

[sharp inhale]

Mm-hmm.

You're stuck doing all the hard work, yet he's still the CEO of the company.

What an easy life.

[deep inhale]

Yeah, but the company wouldn't even exist without him, you know?

It's good that he's not here.

-You'll be speaking today. -That's right.

I'm Edward Kim, VP of Quantum & Time.

Our CEO, Han Tae-sul, was supposed to be here

to give the keynote speech, but couldn't join us

as he's still trying to recover from the plane crash.

So I'm here standing in for him today.

-[indistinct murmurs] -[crowd clapping]

The writer William Gibson said this,

"The future is already here.

It's just… not evenly distributed."

Today…

Quantum & Time

would like to unveil our future, right before your eyes.

-Han Tae-sul's here! -That's him, right?

-Oh, my god, it's Han Tae-sul! -Right? Look, it's Han Tae-sul!

-[man 1] He's here? -[man 2] Han Tae-sul!

We love you, Han Tae-sul!

-Yes! -[man 3] He's here!

-[man 4] Oh, my god, he's here. -[overlapping yells]

[crowd cheering]

[whistle]

Welcome CEO Han Tae-sul of Quantum & Time!

[crowd clapping, cheering]

[camera shutters clicking]

[sinister music]

-Hey, do you wanna die? -What? Come on.

-You've been receiving death threats. -I know that more than anyone.

-Leave the stage. -Seung-bok.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna die today.

[light taps]

[crowd cheers]

[tense music]

[Tae-sul] Mic check, one, two.

Oh, my voice sounds nice.

[deep inhale]

Uh, first off, I apologize.

I… was a little late because I came by train.

I'm… I'm still afraid of flying.

[laughter]

-[digital chime] -Ah, the future..

Well, what William said is true.

"The future is already here."

In fact, if I'm being completely honest, it's inside my lab.

I'm not letting it out just yet.

That's because we're still in the process of applying for our patent.

-[groans] -Hey, wait!

[groans]

-Identify yourself. -Move it.

[security groans]

-[security 2] Hey, stop! -Wait, what the…

Hey, stop right there!

[Tae-sul] All right, I've got something to show you today.

It's…

It's a…

[wrapper crinkles]

…sugar cube.

-Hmm? -[camera shutter clicks]

Well, I guess you're disappointed.

I can hear our stock price plummeting right now.

-[laughter] -[crowd clapping]

This cube weighs 2.73g. Density, 0.468g/cm.

Length, width, and height, 18mm. This is all sugar.

This cube that I'm holding represents Quantum & Time's brand-new future.

Please don't get the wrong idea. Let me make myself clear.

I'm not trying to say that we're suddenly going to start manufacturing sugar cubes.

[laughter]

It's been said by many that magic

is indistinguishable from advanced technology.

So from this moment on, keep your eyes open.

Focus on this cube and do not blink.

[Seung-bok] Tae-sul, come with me.

-Have you lost your mind? -[Tae-sul] Hold on.

Just a sec. Let go of me. [grunts]

No.

Tae-san!

-Wait, Tae-san! -Get it together! Enough is enough!

I have to go. I have to go right now.

[exhales] Tae-sul.

Tae-sul! Tae-sul! Get down!

Snap out of it. Do you wanna ruin everything?

[both grunting]

-No, no! -[Seung-bok] Are you crazy?

Let go, you jerk!

[panicked screaming]

[Tae-sul] The police! Hey, over here!

-We're right here! Hey! Hey! -Come on!

[tense music continues]

[Tae-sul panting] Hey, where are we going?

Damn it. [groans]

Get up.

Over here! Police! Over here!

Drop your gun. Hands up!

[nervous mumbling]

[cop] All right, calm down.

Calm down. Drop your gun.

[exhales] She…

Don't follow us.

[ascending footsteps]

-[gun fires] -[groans]

[radio beeps]

Suspect is armed. And has a hostage.

[cop] Emergency exit, east wing.

Requesting backup.

Hey, move in carefully.

[cop] They're on the roof. Let's split up.

[shrieks]

[both thud, slide]

[screeches]

[both groan]

Let's go.

[grunts] Shit.

Get up now.

This is nuts.

[Seo-hae grunts]

This is so crazy! Ah, this is nuts!

[tense music]

[approaching footsteps]

Run.

Over here.

[heavy breathing]

[Tae-sul gasps]

I'm dizzy. Dizzy.

I'm so dizzy.

-[bag unzips] -[Tae-sul] Dizzy. Oh, my god.

[huffs]

[fires, whooshes]

[clangs]

[clanks]

-[clicks] -What…

-What are you doing? -Come on. If you get caught, you'll die.

Hell no. Who are you?

-Let's go. -Fine, okay.

[clanks]

[cop] Freeze!

It's all over now. Drop your gun and surrender.

That's right.

Surrender. Stop all this.

[gun fires]

-[screams] -Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Tae-sul screaming]

[creaks, clangs]

Hey! Hey!

[shrieks]

[groans]

Hey, wake up.

[gasps] Oh, no.

[relieved sigh] He's alive. Oh, thank god.

[taps]

He looks different in person.

-[gasps] -[shrieks]

[panting]

I thought I was gonna die.

You're bleeding. We gotta run.

-The Control Bureau isn't the only one-- -[groans]

I almost died! Who are you?

Are you a terrorist? Who are you after? Money, huh? Huh?

Who made you do all this? Who's behind this?

[thwacks]

[Seo-hae] Hey, I saved your life.

[sighs] Why did I even come here?

You're…

You're…

-[photo rustles] -…this one, right?

-"This one"? -Uh-huh.

[gun cocks]

Huh?

[Tae-sul] What's going on?

[ominous music]

[exhales]

[chuckles]

[Mr. Park] Wow.

CEO Han Tae-sul. [snickers]

Oh, what an honor.

Remember me? We've spoken a few times on the phone, right?

Uh, it's me, Mr. Park.

Yeah. [chuckles]

-[gun fires] -[shell clinks]

[Mr. Park] Youngsters these days wanna fire bullets every chance they get.

Hey, now you and I have a chance to speak. We can talk it out.

Get up, get up, it's okay.

All right, then. [chuckles]

[inhales] Let's go.

[sirens wailing]

-[wallops] -You said we'd talk it out.

[body thuds]

A violent terror attack has taken place in broad daylight today.

So now we know Korea is no longer safe from these kinds of attacks.

Choi Ji-eun, coming to you.

[people screaming]

[Ji-eun] During Quantum & Time's conference

at PEXCO in Busan yesterday,

CEO Han Tae-sul was attacked.

[reporter 1] Shootings rarely happen in Korea as the nation is known

to be free from gun violence.

There are several listed in critical condition

-and we're waiting for updates. -The victim, CEO Han Tae-sul,

is in critical condition at the moment.

[reporter 2] The suspect, who's known to be an anti-corporate activist,

was arrested at the scene immediately…

-[TV chimes off] -[remote clacks]

We're keeping the kidnapping top secret as you requested.

But the reporters are snooping around for info,

so it's only a matter of time.

[Seung-bok sighs]

Let's give them some money and some wine too.

-[butler] Yes, sir. -Have you identified the suspect yet?

Or the gun he used? Do you know where it's from?

If we had that information, wouldn't we find Tae-sul immediately?

We're looking into that, sir.

But the fingerprint and DNA are not in our system.

[detective] So, first,

we need to find out if anyone out there could be holding a grudge against him.

[sighs]

X-74852 TOP SECRET CASE FILE NO. 582502

Here are all the threatening e-mails, death threats, and malicious comments.

We picked out only the serious cases and put them in the folders.

[Seung-bok] They're listed in alphabetical order.

[exhales] That's a big stack.

How many hours has it been since his kidnapping?

Well, about 12 hours.

[detective] Right?

I think it's been about 16?

Right, 16 hours.

Incorrect. It's been 17-and-a-half hours.

Enough time for the kidnapper

to dismember him and bury him in multiple locations!

-[ominous music] -[breathes heavily]

Hey.

Listen, are you looking for a teenage boy who ran away from home, huh?

Do you understand who this man is?

A business tycoon got shot and kidnapped,

and all of you are sitting there wondering who's holding a grudge against him?

[Seung-bok] Are you kidding me?

Do you know how many companies have gone bankrupt because of Tae-sul?

Do you know how many people we routinely fired during our M&A's?

Environmental organizations, labor unions, and lunatics.

Look, he receives dozens of death threats on a daily basis.

[deep breath]

How could you ask such an obvious question?

Find him.

If you don't think you can do it,

then you guys need to get the military involved!

[tense music]

DO NOT ENTER INVESTIGATION IN PROGRESS

[camera shutter clicks]

[mysterious music]

[sighs]

[dramatic music]

[eerie music]

He was that close, and he still missed the target.

[scoffs] Yeah.

[sighs]

What a headache. I'm too busy for this.

[Hyun-seung] Go, hurry, go. Go.

So how many of them got hit?

Three of them, I believe. One is unconscious.

-Sort this out. Find the witnesses. -Yeah.

That girl, where did she and Tae-sul go?

[Seung-bok inhales]

I'm really sorry, sir. It's all my fault.

We'll track down the kidnappers as soon as we can.

[Chairman Kim] Don't apologize. Why is it your fault?

[Seung-bok] The reporters will keep their lips sealed,

and I've already called the police and spoken to the top brass.

[deep breath]

Even if the kidnapper contacts us, the Board isn't going to respond to them.

-Sir… Sir, I… -The stock price fell again.

Last time, we kept quiet because you said we should wait,

but the situation has now snowballed.

[deep inhale]

[envelope rustles]

[Chairman Kim] Let's change our personnel.

Wait, Tae-sul is missing right now. How can we…

Even if he doesn't return, this has to be done.

And what if he does?

[sighs]

Tae-sul is just like a son to me.

I've known Tae-sul for many years now.

So I feel bad about this.

[Chairman Kim] I wanna do whatever it takes to save him.

But from a business standpoint,

we have 20,000 employees plus all our subcontractors.

If we include their families, that's 100,000 people.

Given what's happened, I'd say it's better if he doesn't return.

Sir, if I may, without Tae-sul involved, the company could not exist.

We have you, Eddy.

This is an opportunity for you, not a crisis.

[dramatic music]

It was here? My goodness, they practically broadcast everything to the world.

[scoffs]

So this is where he was last seen?

Yes, apparently. He's hiding with the girl he fled with somewhere close.

If we start searching the motels in this area, we might…

-What is it? -[object clanks]

Brokers were here.

[ominous music]

[snoring]

[grand music]

[horn honking]

[man] Whoa, watch it!

[tires screech]

[groaning]

Welcome!

[sighs]

[exhales]

You brat can't say hello?

[budges]

[Tae-sul] Hey, wake up.

[gasps]

You're up.

Where are we?

[Tae-sul] I should be asking you that question.

[Seo-hae sighs] Damn it, I'm so pissed.

This is all your fault, you know? I told you to run.

What the heck are you talking about? How is any of this my fault?

Who are you, huh? You're the girl in that photo, right?

And your name is? Just tell me that.

Seo-hae.

Seo-hae? As in the "West Sea"?

Hey, so what is it you want from me?

Forget it.

Look down at your feet. You see that steel ruler over there?

[Tae-sul] Can you reach it? Try extending your leg.

Come on, get it.

We'll pick it up and use it to cut this rope.

After that, we'll figure it out.

We're screwed. You ruined my plans.

-Hey, enough! -What? Why?

Get the ruler.

Wow.

[clicks tongue]

You see, I'm having a hard time understanding

why you're so angry right now.

[both scoff]

Hey, look. Did I ask for your help? Did I ask you to save me?

Uh… I lost my brother because of what you did.

Let's talk about that while we're at it.

Who are you? Are you a stalker?

And what's with that wedding photo?

How did you pull that off?

Was it photoshopped? Did we… do it?

Did we have a one-night stand?

You're crazy!

-[ruler clinks] -Hey! Seriously?

You're the crazy one. Nice job. I guess we'll die here, then.

We've never met before. Okay?

Are you kidding me right now? [inhales]

Tell me the truth. Who sent you?

Who are you, for real?

Me? The person who saved you.

Then maybe you should save me right now. I mean, look at us. What the hell is this?

If you wanna live, just keep your mouth shut.

-Hey, grab that ruler if you want to live. -[shushes]

-Just hurry up and grab it. -Quiet.

[Tae-sul] You be quiet.

-[rattles] -[gun cocks]

What's going? You're awake, great.

[exhales]

[clanks open, thuds]

[sharp inhale] All right, let's see.

[sighs]

[whistles]

[chuckles] Come on! What is all this junk?

What is this, huh?

Now, why would they risk their lives to bring all this useless stuff here?

When they send them off, don't they tell them?

They don't need these things.

Huh?

[door opens]

[sighs]

Whoa! You're up. [chuckles]

Mr. CEO, how did you sleep?

Oh, he looks better with his eyes open.

Hey, I dressed your wound.

I'll change your gauze later.

Hey, stop it. Don't be such a flirt. [groans]

What?

Got a death wish?

Enough!

Have some manners while we have guests.

[Mr. Park chuckles]

Well, sir. Come on.

Come with me.

[inhales]

[clicks]

[door squeaks]

[inhales]

Let's go in. Close the door behind you.

[comical music]

-[door squeaks] -Hey, you guys should eat something.

Come in.

[inhales, sighs] Oh, man…

Have a seat.

[bottle clinks]

You fools always forget to bring the opener.

[bottle pops open]

[spoon clanks]

[liquid pours]

[bottle clacks]

It's been a whole 72 hours

since Quantum & Time CEO Han Tae-sul was attacked,

but the police have not been able to identify who the suspect is

at this point.

[reporter] Initially, the company's official statement

was that CEO Han was doing fine,

-but he hasn't been seen in public… -Look at that. They're hiding everything.

Right? What's wrong with this world nowadays?

We want transparency, you know?

[Mr. Park sighs]

[reporter] CEO Han's bodyguard, Mr. Yeo, was injured at the scene.

He is currently unconscious and listed as in critical condition.

[somber music]

[TV clicks off]

[Mr. Park] That was a good meal.

[exhales] Hey, Seon-ho!

Make some coffee.

Coffee? Want some coffee? Just me?

Get it right.

You put only one cream and two sugars.

[snickers]

If you get it wrong again, I'll actually murder you.

Okay.

[receding footsteps]

[Mr. Park] That idiot gets it wrong every single time.

I mean, really. I bet he'll put two creams and one sugar in there.

[clicks tongue]

Well, anyway, did you guys get any rest?

[handcuffs clink]

Ah, okay. [inhales]

Well, now that we've all had something to eat, let's get down to business.

I'm the owner of this store, Asia Mart.

But this is only a tiny part of my actual business.

Our core business is, uh… How should I say this?

You can think of us like an unofficial embassy.

We do things like help some people who come over from the other side.

Mr. Han, the reason I decided to bring you here is--

Are you trying to kill me?

Kill you?

Oh, no!

It's those jerks from the Control Bureau.

They're the ones that are trying to kill you.

[Mr. Park] They want you dead.

As you can see, I brought you here safe and sound.

I even treated your wounds.

My goodness.

If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead.

Control Bureau? So what are they trying to control?

-The key. Did you bring it? -I wanna know what happened to my brother.

Why are you asking me about that?

That key is mine! It's not yours.

-Actually, it is my key. -You little sh…

What's this Control Bureau? And what kind of "embassy"?

I wanna know what happened to my brother and the suitcase.

He literally fell from the sky. What is going on?

Why?

-You wanna know? -Yeah.

[sighs]

It's probably better for you if you don't know.

[pensive music]

Okay, fine.

I'll tell you. But let me ask you one question.

Think carefully before you answer.

[deep inhale] Hmm…

Okay, let's say…

there's something in your past that you regret, and you wanna undo it,

and if I can help you with that,

how much would you be willing to pay me for it?

Everything I've got.

"Everything"?

[laughs]

[Mr. Park] All of it?

I see.

I know where you're coming from. I understand.

[approaching footsteps]

Hey.

No, you can just give me the cup.

-Think you got it right? -Yeah.

[Mr. Park] All right.

[sips, gulps]

Yeah.

[chuckles]

He made it the wrong way again.

Told you.

That idiot gets it wrong every single time, and there's…

[sighs]

…nothing I can do.

[groans]

You see, the future is…

A reflection of the present and can't be changed.

Bingo! That's right.

[Mr. Park laughs]

If I tell you, hand over the key.

Fine.

All right.

You'll believe it if you see it, so I'll show you.

[Mr. Park] Hey, guys.

You heard what he said. Let's show him what we do.

Hmm? Go on, get him in the car.

[ominous music]

[digital trilling]

[rattling]

[Bingbing] Are you seriously gonna take them? You've never taken me.

[Seon-jae] It's not that nice.

[Bingbing] Fine, we'll do what the boss says.

[exhales]

-[Seon-jae] Anyone coming? -[Bingbing] Let's see.

[digital trilling]

Nope. I'll check another server.

[cabinet opens]

The downloader.

What is it she's downloading?

[Seon-jae] Hands.

[handcuffs unlock]

[Seon-jae] Put this on.

Your hands.

[handcuffs unlock]

[Tae-sul grunts]

Put this on.

-Why? -Suit yourself. I'm not your babysitter.

Why is he aiming the rifle at us?

Is he a robot or what?

-[squeaks] -[groans]

[grumbles] You…

Hey, what does it mean to come "from the other side"?

Where is that?

"Where" isn't the question.

Then what is?

What matters is…

[computer trills]

[Bingbing] Got one.

Agencies.

[Seon-jae groans] I don't like that place.

Why do they keep sending them there?

It's the easiest and easy disguise.

[gun clanks]

Turn around. Let's go.

-[taps] -[medicine rattle]

[Bingbing] Take this.

These pills will help with nausea.

[ominous music]

Hey, you.

You're from the other side, aren't you?

[Mr. Park] Huh?

Then you know you should've reported your arrival as soon as you got here

and handed all of your things over to us. How come you ran away?

They didn't tell you what to do before you left?

Hmm.

No? No? [laughs]

These kids are so rude these days.

-Your name? -Seo-hae.

-Last name? -Don't have one.

What about your parents?

No parents.

[laughs]

You couldn't have been born without your parents.

Wow, do you hear the way she's talking right now?

What a brat. Who do you know here?

No one.

No one?

-Nobody? -Mm.

[scoffs] Come on, then why did you come here?

Sightseeing.

For sightseeing? Oh, nice. [laughs]

You wanna die?

[Mr. Park] You brat.

And as you know, if you've got the downloader with you…

-you-- -[gun clanks]

You little…

If you have it, you need to pay for it. You know that, right?

There's no such thing as a free ride.

And if you don't pay…

[dramatic music]

-Hey. -[gun clanks]

[Mr. Park] Oh, what have we got here?

Huh?

What is all this?

Look at this. Wow!

What's all these for? You going into battle?

[laughs] Oh, man. Jesus.

What's this?

Is this a planner or is it a diary, huh?

Give it back or I'll kill you.

[Mr. Park] Hmm.

[clonks]

[clicks tongue]

"Dear Seo-hae, Happy birthday. By the time you read--"

[Mr. Park choking]

[thwacking]

[aggressive grunting]

[Mr. Park] You little…

CURRENCY EXCHANGE, JOB PLACEMENT, INQUIRIES WELCOME

[both grunting]

Hey, wait! Jeez!

-Hey, what are you doing? Hey! -Sit down. Sit down now!

Wait, hold on. Hold on.

-[Tae-sul] Hey! Hey, calm down. -[snickers]

Hey, wait, wait! That gun is huge.

If you fire it in here, all of us are gonna die!

Relax, please.

This isn't America. Guys, can't we resolve a conflict together without guns, huh?

Wow, I'm so not used to this.

Hey, you let go first. Do it. And sit down.

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

And you, put your gun down. Enough.

[Tae-sul sighs] Good. Yes, we want peace.

We're all good now. Peace.

[clears throat]

Why on earth would you take her diary out like that and read it, huh?

Look, this is mine.

Hey, guys, kill them.

No, stop, stop, stop. Let me get this straight.

Tell me, why is it yours?

Well, everything she brought is actually mine.

[scoffs] Jeez, you're one nasty jerk.

Okay. I'll take that diary off your hands, then.

You good with that? I'll buy it from you.

-For how much? -How much you want?

[laughs]

It's expensive.

Ah, don't worry, I'm rich. How much?

Hmm… Hundred.

[comical music]

-A hundred million won? -Mm-hmm.

[Tae-sul laughs]

Okay. Who's got my phone? Hand it over.

[Mr. Park scoffs] Come on now, you can't do that.

If you turn on your phone,

that would be like advertising to the whole wide world

that you're held hostage.

You wanna give your family a call while you're at it?

Ask them how they're doing, huh?

You wanna call the cops and file a report? Is that what you wanna do?

No.

My geo-tracking is always turned off, so don't worry.

That's because of my friend, Seung-bok, he is always stalking me.

Really. You can find out in ten seconds if you turn on my phone.

Seung-bok, huh?

Give it to me.

If geo-tracking is on…

you're dead.

[phone chimes on]

[Mr. Park exclaims]

You weren't lying.

[Mr. Park inhales]

Well…

[paper rustles]

See this bank account number, yeah?

Send the money, hmm? A hundred fifty.

Wait a sec, you said 100 million.

[laughs]

There's a usage fee.

Why, have you changed your mind?

What, is it too much money for you? Is that it?

[chuckles]

A fee? A usage fee?

[Tae-sul] I've never heard of that before.

A hundred fifty million.

Hmm.

There, transferred. We're good?

[Mr. Park] Wow, impressive.

So, is this why all the ladies, uh, why all the ladies just love you, huh?

[laughs]

Now, just give it back to her.

[Mr. Park] All right.

Oh, man.

[inhales]

[rattles]

[sighs]

I didn't ask for help.

You said you saved my life. We're even now.

-Do you have the key? -Why?

That jerk plans on killing you when he gets it.

I know.

[Mr. Park sighs]

You talk too much.

Oh, we're here.

[ominous music]

[fire crackling]

[vehicle approaching]

[suspenseful music]

[car door opens]

-I need two plasterers! -[man 1] Over here!

[man 2] Over here!

-Yeah, you over there. You too. -Get away.

-ID and safety certificate. -Oh, I don't have a certificate.

[employer] Too bad. Your ID and certificate?

-Here. Thank you. Thank you. -Let's go. Get in the car.

See? I told you.

-That happens every time we come here. -That's right.

Yeah, yeah, this sucks.

Let's wait. Maybe we'll get lucky within the next month.

Out with these illegals. You should get deported, taking our jobs.

[man 3] Damn it!

[bag thuds]

-What are you looking at? -[man 4] What did you just say?

Hey! You should all go back to your own country,

you filthy cockroaches!

-What? What's your problem? -You wanna punch me?

-You punk! -[man 5] Hey, hey!

-What are you gonna do, huh? -[overlapping chatter]

You son of a bitch!

-[man 6] Damn it with the Chinese. -[man 7] We will take your jobs!

[indistinct chatter]

-[man 7] The Control Bureau! They're here! -Yeah, get 'em!

[siren blaring]

[tense music]

[woman] They're here. What do we do?

Oh, shit!

-Oh, my god. -[man 8] This sucks.

[Yeon-sik] We're conducting an inspection glitch. Nobody move.

Don't move!

[static scratches]

Are we in trouble? What do you want?

Back off.

Arrest all those illegal immigrants! Those rats!

What is this? Why us?

Come on, we're Korean! Arrest them, not us!

[eerie music]

[suspenseful music]

[beeping]

[high-pitched static]

-Get them now! -[man 9] Let go!

Let go!

-[thwacks] -[groans]

-[wallops] -[groans]

Stay down.

[Mr. Park sighs] Those bastards from the Control Bureau.

Look at them trying to suppress and control

these small business owners who are working hard to make ends meet.

Without them, who's gonna be responsible for this country's economy, huh?

What a goddamn mess.

-[phone dials] -[line rings, connects]

Hey, Bingbing. Listen, uh, the guys from the Control Bureau are here.

I need to get something.

[digital trilling]

Yep, I got one right here.

[mouse clicks]

-[Bingbing] I sent you the location. -Uh-huh.

[laughs]

[beeps, trills]

-[phone clacks close] -[inhales]

Mr. Han, let's get to work.

[Mr. Park] All right, guys.

It's time for you two to bear witness to the secrets of the hidden world, right?

[laughs] Hey, let's go.

[mysterious music]

[Seon-jae] This is the spot.

[Mr. Park groans] Oh, man.

[exhales]

[sniffs]

[gun clanks]

[Tae-sul] So what are we waiting for?

-A person. -Who?

Mr. Han, do you pay your pension?

I paid 400,000 won this month to those thieves.

They're all just a bunch of con men.

We all know that the pension money will run out by 2040,

but they keep collecting contributions, man.

Why do you think they're doing that?

Weird, huh?

[sighs]

But some things are even weirder, huh? Have you ever had any weird experiences?

You know, like, uh…

seeing pictures of yourself that you don't remember taking

or seeing pictures of something that hasn't even happened yet.

[Mr. Park grunts]

[mysterious music]

[Bong-seon] How… how about this?

This is totally insane.

[Tae-sul] The conference is in two days.

[Mr. Park] What? You have?

Seems like you have!

Yeah, that's right! Uh-huh!

You're a smart guy, think about it. That's it.

Ask yourself, "How could something like that happen?"

Sir, what's really important here is not about where you're from. Got it?

"Where" isn't the question.

Then what is?

What matters is…

What matters…

is "when".

[high-pitched static]

He's here.

[wind blows]

[mysterious music continues]

[objects clank]

[trilling]

[tense music]

[trilling continues]

[chuckles] Hey, have you ever heard of this quote?

[Mr. Park] "The future is already here.

It's just not evenly distributed."

Pretty cool, huh? [laughs]

[gasps]

[electricity crackling]

Uh…

[exhales] The future is right before your eyes.

Welcome to… Uh, I just said…

The future. [laughs]

Huh? [exhales]

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

["Stay: tempus" by GSoul playing]

♪ She says just go ♪

♪ I turn around ♪

[Seo-hae] You asked me why people come back to the past.

Regrets.

You blame yourself for doing something

even when you know you won't be able to take it back.

It torments you every night.

[static scratching]

[siren blaring]

Your brother, I know where he is.

-What did you say? -Han Tae-san.

-[radio beeps] -[cop] Hey, any luck finding him?

-[gasps, choking] -[flashlight clacks]

-[Yeon-sik] They've gotten away. -Find them now!

Keep tracing Tae-sul's phone.

Hijack every signal you detect.

Looks like we meet again. Nice to see you, Mr. Han.

Go! Go now!
