[Tae-sul grunts]

[panting]

Hey, Seo-hae. [heaves]

[gasps] She's not breathing. Hey!

[Tae-sul panting]

One, two, three, four, five…

[Tae-sul panting]

[exhales]

Hey, breathe!

-You gotta breathe! -Oh.

-[Seo-hae coughing] -[gasps, exhales]

[groans]

You're alive. Oh, my god. [exhales]

[Tae-sul groans]

[exhales] Oh, I can't breathe.

KIM SEO-JIN MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC

[Tae-sul] I'm gonna pass out. [groans]

[exhausted sigh]

[panting]

[heaving] This has to work.

ACCESS

-[beeps] -[automated voice] Fingerprint accepted.

-Disarmed. -[Tae-sul gasps]

Yes. It worked.

Thank you, Seo-jin.

Amazing. [gasps]

[groans]

Hold on.

[sighs] My back is killing me.

[Tae-sul groans]

[grunts] Ouch. My back.

[grumbles]

I'm dying. [grunts]

[coughs]

Hold on. [grunts]

It's cold. Here.

[exhales]

She had a wound around here.

Oh.

[gasps]

Disinfect it.

Okay. [grunts]

[groans]

It's gotta be here somewhere.

Oh.

It's here. Yes. Yes.

[ominous music]

[Tae-sul] Antiseptic.

[objects clattering]

[Tae-sul gasps]

[Tae-sul sighs]

[Tae-sul exhales]

I'm sorry.

[Tae-sul sighs]

Oh. And about that too.

[objects clatter]

Hey.

-[Tae-sul] Uh, I can explain. -[dial tone beeping]

Wait.

Isn't that the woman who kidnapped you, huh?

Seo-jin, I can explain everything.

-[dial tone beeping] -Hold on. Please, hold on.

You see, what I'm about to tell you is hard to believe.

It defies the basic laws of physics as we know 'em.

I don't know how to articulate it. Let me gather my thoughts.

Uh, wait. Before I do that, can you… can you treat her?

Or at least just write out a prescription for her.

Tell me who she is first.

She's the one who kidnapped you, isn't she?

-Ah, no. Not quite. -Then who?

Well, uh, it's complicated.

-Does Eddy know that you're still alive? -Uh…

-Not yet. -So then why are you here, huh?

Can we just… Let's just get her treated first. Okay?

Go to a clinic.

No, I can't. She's a foreigner, she doesn't have health insurance.

Just write out a prescription

under your name or mine, then we'll leave right away.

You piece of shit! You… [sobs]

Honestly, I thought that you have died.

[exhales]

[sobs]

[cries]

Why are you crying?

Hey.

-[Seo-jin cries] -[Tae-sul] Look, I'm sorry.

I thought I was going to die too.

Seo-jin, I'm sorry. Okay?

-[sniffles] -Sorry.

Don't cry.

[crying] Just go away.

[Seo-jin sobs]

Uh… uh…

[Seo-jin inhales deeply]

[exhales] This is crazy.

[foreboding music]

Who is she really?

It's complicated and honestly…

I'm not sure who she is.

[sighs]

[Tae-sul] Is she sick?

Is it serious?

Oh, also, she fell in the water earlier, so her lungs might be filled with water.

What's wrong? Did her heart stop?

[exhales]

No. She's malnourished.

[Tae-sul sighs]

[Seo-jin exhales]

Do you actually expect me to believe that?

[sighs]

[Seo-jin sucks teeth]

I have to say this is the craziest and most absurd thing you've ever done.

Hey, I fixed a crashing airplane and survived.

Doesn't that sound crazier?

-This is no big deal. -You said she's from the future.

And you supposedly build a time machine, later on, is that right?

-An uploader. -It's basically a time machine.

And that's why those people are trying to kill you?

Sigma.

"Sigma"?

Is that someone's name?

I have no idea if it's a person, organization, or alien.

I see.

Hey.

Don't go start telling anyone about this. People will think you've lost your mind.

[inhales] Well, at least you know that.

Tae-sul…

I told you to stop taking the pills and get therapy but forget it.

Get admitted.

To be honest, I didn't know your condition was this serious.

I'm not seeing things.

It was Tae-san. I swear it.

This is dangerous. Do you realize that?

When are you going to give Eddy a call?

-[scoffs] -Everyone's waiting to hear from you.

Is it because of her?

Well, she saved my life so I wanted to get her some medical attention.

From the Control Bureau?

-Uh-huh. -You're nuts.

Hey.

I'm telling you, they are seriously everywhere.

[sucks teeth] It's gotta be a government organization.

They tapped our phones.

I need a plan before I go out there again.

-Tae-sul. -I just need to be prepared and ready.

I've gotta find Tae-san

-then I gotta figure out how to-- -Tae-sul!

Do you know who you are starting to sound like right now?

You're sounding just like your brother.

Hey, maybe he was right about everything.

You saw what happened to me earlier.

I was shot with a real gun.

And what about Bong-seon, huh? What, am I imagining all this?

[clicks tongue, inhales sharply]

Let's drop it.

I really don't want to stay here

and make the bed for you and your new girlfriend.

So I'm gonna leave now and I want the two of you gone by tomorrow morning.

-Do you-- -Hey, Seo-jin.

[inhales, exhales]

[sniffs]

Could you lend me your credit card?

I lost my wallet.

-[chuckles] -Yeah.

[laughs]

[exhales]

[light music]

I'm reporting that girl to the police tomorrow morning.

Hey, wait! Seo-jin.

Oh, man.

Thanks for this. She's a keeper. A good friend.

[inhales sharply, exhales]

[hair blower whirring]

[hair blower stops, beeps]

[inhales] You cost a 150 million won.

-[scoffs] -[ominous music]

Doesn't that mean I get to take a look at what's inside you?

[gasping]

[ominous music continues]

Ah. Forget it. I don't want to be sneaky.

[Seo-hae gasps] Mom.

[Seo-hae shudders]

[sobs]

[somber music]

[Seo-hae sobs]

Mom.

[distant bird chirping]

[exhales]

Where am I?

I don't want to tell you that. Doing better?

[grunts]

[Seo-hae sighs]

[sighs]

-My bag. -Stay.

Everything inside was just…

But I…

managed to save this.

Here.

Why are you glaring at me? I didn't open it.

I promise I didn't.

But maybe I should've looked.

I'd kill you.

Oh. Here.

[somber music]

Now, get changed. Then let's eat.

[Tae-sul] Good. Eat as much as you want.

Eat everything on the table. Eat this too.

And this too. You need to eat a lot. All right?

Oh, and use the dipping sauce. This sauce.

That's it.

My, this food is very high in calories. Who buys all this stuff?

Oh, yeah.

Take some of these to load up on nutrients that you may be lacking.

Drink that thing. Go ahead.

Not now? Then, drink your cola.

By the way, uh… is there no food in the future?

[clicks tongue] I just can't wrap my head around it.

The people who came over, why were they all exposed to radiation?

Does the exposure happen on the way here?

Let's go back to what you said.

You're going to stop me from inventing the uploader.

Does that have anything to do with this?

There will be a war.

["Deserted Street" by Oh Joon Sung playing]

A war. Nuclear?

Mm. It begins in Wolsong.

The nuclear power plant there will be hit with a nuke.

North Korea?

[exhales]

[Seo-hae] After that…

Seoul will also be nuked.

Everyone will die.

[explosion]

-[Seo-hae] Everyone you and I know. -[people clamoring]

And everyone you see on the streets now.

-I'll protect you. -[sighs]

I was told if I do, we'll be able to prevent the war.

Who told you that?

["Deserted Street" by Oh Joon Sung playing continues]

[alarm clock blaring]

-Yeah. -Where are they now?

Who? The Control Bureau? I don't know.

They're probably still out there searching for both of us.

-Are you really going to that address? -Uh-huh.

[exhales]

The Control Bureau and Sigma will be waiting for you there.

Hmm. [sighs]

[bangs on table] Let's go.

[ATM whirring]

[ATM automated voice] Remove your cash.

[ATM beeps]

[Tae-sul inhales sharply]

All right, let me sum it up.

In the future, I invent the uploader which enables time travel.

So all sorts of people will be trying to kill me.

That includes the Control Bureau.

And Asia Mart. I bet they have it out for me now as well.

-And Sigma. -Right, Sigma.

What is it though? An organization?

Anyway, all kinds of beings I don't even know

will try to be killing me now.

And you're also in danger. Am I right?

I don't think we should stay together any longer.

I haven't had the chance to say this

but thank you for everything. I really mean it.

In Busan and again, at the Han River…

I'd be dead if it weren't for you but you see…

you have no reason to do all of this for me.

You nearly died too.

And I'm really not that nice of a person. I'm sure you know that.

So with that said… I'll just handle it alone.

Take this.

Come on, take it. You'll need it to survive here.

Find yourself a place to live and get a job you like.

Just live life and be happy.

You said only five percent of the people who try to return survive.

You risked so much to come here,

so I don't want to ruin this opportunity for you.

I have to look after you.

I know, to prevent the war.

Does that mean the war will break out if I die?

That's… [sighs]

The uploader and downloader, this war and Sigma…

I don't believe everything you said and I don't fully trust you and it's…

it's such a nuisance to have a bodyguard.

You won't last one more day on your own.

-Sigma will-- -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I wanna know who told you that.

[sighs]

My diary.

It's written in the diary.

It says you'll save the world if I save you.

[sighs] That day at PEXCO…

I would've had a chance to meet my brother if you hadn't dragged me out of there.

No, you would've died there then the war will start anyway.

Listen, that's your problem.

Let me ask you this.

Let's say I'll find my brother but I'm in danger…

will you try to stop me again because there's gonna be a war if I die?

Yeah.

[scoffs]

You're really selfish.

You'll do whatever you want even if people will die as a result.

You selfish jerk.

[Seo-hae inhales sharply]

[exhales]

[background chatter]

[light music]

Let me help you. Let me.

I don't need you.

I came all the way here for you.

You're now the only person I know in my past, present and future.

I bet you don't know what it's like to be alone.

[scoffs]

You can't do this without me.

I can. I'm better alone.

The future is a lot of cash.

We make fires with it.

[door chimes tinkle]

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Damn it.

Hey, you psychos! Let me go! Excuse me.

I'm a cop, a police officer. You kidnapped a cop.

You lost your mind, huh?

[exhales]

I wanna call my family. One phone call. Just one call please.

My mom needs to know what's going on!

I have to go see my mother! Do you hear me?

Hey! Are you listening?

Hey, let me out of here now!

Hey! Hey!

-[Hyun-seung] So he's the guy? -God!

[Yeon-sik] Yes. [exhales]

Turns out, he's a police. [chuckles]

-That's unfortunate. -Sure is.

[exhales] What should we do?

Just keep following protocol?

What did the doctor say?

After this comes off,

I have to spend a year in therapy.

[inhales]

[Hyun-seung exhales]

[grunts] God.

This is ridiculous.

[exhales]

THE END IS NEAR

"The end"?

-[foreboding music] -[muffled cries]

[metallic door closes]

[muffled cries]

[foreboding music continues]

[clanks]

Sir, where am I?

The Control Bureau. We're like the Immigration Office.

Control Bureau? Well…

what exactly do you control?

Illegal entrants.

Look.

That guy you caught the other day is one of them.

[man grunts]

What…

Wait, where are all of them from?

Listen, the question isn't "where", okay?

What matters is "when".

[sliding door opens]

[Hyun-seung] Back in the old days…

people knew everything about their neighbors.

They even knew how many spoons their neighbors had.

So if there was a newcomer in town, you'd notice right away.

But these days, people don't even know who lives next door to them.

They don't care to know. That's the world we live in now.

But you see, we aren't the only ones in this world.

The uninvited are living among us.

["Dispatch" by Oh Joon Sung playing]

[Hyun-seung] You got promoted quickly.

-Special recruit? -Yes, sir, for gunnery skills.

Mm.

[Hyun-seung exhales]

In 2021, an uploader was invented.

A time machine.

We're here to control people who travel to the present from the future.

Mm.

LIST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UNDER EXAMINATION

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS' INFORMATION SUCCESSFULLY INVESTED IN STOCKS

REALIZED MASSIVE REAL ESTATE PROFITS ELIMINATED

[chuckles]

A time machine? Then what about the lottery? Huh?

They'd all win the lottery.

[chuckles] Everyone asked that.

In 2002, the Control Bureau was established

upon encountering the first illegal entrant.

And what's the first thing they did?

They made the lottery.

LOTTERY COMMISSION 2020 REPORT

They founded the Lottery Commission to pay for all the expenses incurred

from tracking down, catching and managing the illegal entrants.

[scoffs]

[Hyeon-gi] I… [scoffs]

Okay. So what, huh?

Uh, what do you want me to do?

-What do you want from me exactly? -[inhales deeply]

I'm not asking for you to believe what I'm saying. You don't have to.

[puffs, scoffs]

[Hyun-seung] I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news…

but after we brought you here…

your mother passed away.

[somber music]

What?

[man] Oh.

Hyeon-gi.

[gasps]

Oh, Ma, Ma, Ma. Ma! Ma!

[somber music continues]

-Hey, where have you been, man? -[sobs]

Ma…

[crying]

Ma!

[Hyun-seung] That woman is the prime suspect.

She's an illegal entrant.

She snuck into your house,

and stole your gun and car.

Your mother couldn't defend herself.

She was shot and killed.

[tense music]

When we arrived at the scene…

the suspect had already fled.

[inhales]

Those people, they all say the same thing at first.

They came here because they missed the clean air,

or they came because they missed their parents, stuff like that, you know.

And they also say they'll stay out of trouble.

But once they return here…

they become greedy. [scoffs]

You know what I find pretty strange?

Some people raking money investing in stocks or real estate.

But for common man like us…

nothing in life ever seems to work out. Why is that?

And some people act as though they can foresee the future.

So why is it that ordinary people like us…

are struggling to eke out a living?

We no longer…

have the opportunity to be…

successful.

Don't you want to fix this?

[cries]

[Hyeon-gi exhales]

[suspenseful music]

[car engines revving]

Tae-san.

Tae-san!

[car horns honking]

What…

[exhales]

Ah, shit.

[groans]

[pants]

[groans, exhales]

Oh, shit.

[panting]

[groans]

[distant chatter]

[boy laughs]

[dramatic music]

[girl laughs]

[Seo-hae] They're all dumb.

-[Tae-sul] Why do you say that? -[girl laughs]

[Seo-hae] They're smiling, not knowing they'll die soon.

[pants]

[gasps]

[panting]

[dramatic music continues]

-[car horns honking] -[people shouting]

-[indistinct shouting] -[people scream]

-[car horn honking] -Hey! What are you doing?

-Are you crazy? Get out of the way! -Move it. Come on.

-Come on. Hey, come on. -You're blocking the road. Move!

-[car horns honking] -[people shouting]

-[man 1] Get out of there! -[man 2] Open your eyes, lady.

[gasps]

-[car horns honking] -[panting]

[car horn honking]

[indistinct chatter]

The light is red.

[car horns honking]

I know what it's like to be alone.

I do.

I felt alone ever since I lost my brother.

He also said…

"Don't worry too much about money. Do what you want to do.

And just live your life and be happy."

He worked everyday of his life at an auto shop,

and always came home covered in oil

but he was happy if I was.

Then he suddenly died.

I have to find where he is.

If I find my brother…

no matter how dangerous things are…

don't pull me away from him ever again.

Can you do that?

If your answer is yes…

[sighs] …then you can protect me.

And we'll…

save the world.

[dramatic music]

Okay.

[car horn honks]

[car horn blares]

[car horn honks]

[car horn blares]

[car horn honks]

[car horns honking]

[tranquil music]

[Hyun-seung] We're different from the police.

You can kill any illegal entrant.

[foreboding music]

[wind gusting]

[distant car horns honking]

Don't breathe in the air. It's toxic.

I just took it off for a second to fix my hair. Gosh. What about you?

I'll be fine.

[wind gusting]

[wheezing]

[wind gusting]

[ominous music]

[exhales]

Oh.

Hmm. Oh, no way. Yes.

[gasps]

[sighs] They're so handsome.

Hmm. [chuckles]

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH HAN TAE-SUL, CEO OF QUANTUM & TIME

"Young Asian Tycoon…

New Paradigm of Quantum Transmission."

[scoffs] Whatever.

[hums]

Mm. Hmm?

[gasps] My god.

Right. Score.

[gasps] Oh.

Oh, don't, don't, don't. No.

[chuckles]

[giggles]

I'll take them all with me. [titters]

I don't see any fruit cocktail.

This is all that's left, so just grab everything on the shelf.

[ominous music]

[banging]

[gun fires]

-[gunshots] -[Seo-hae grunts]

[Seo-hae grumbles]

-Let's have some fun! -Hit the target and score ten points!

[Seo-hae grunts]

-[beeps] -[man 1 laughs]

[whoops]

[tense music]

[man 2] What's this girl doing in our turf? She's got some nerve.

You better hide. If we see a single strand of your hair, we will kill you.

[static noise]

[laughs]

[whoops]

-[man 2] Hey. -[man 1 gasps]

[man 2] If I catch both of them today, I'll beat your score, right?

No, it'll be a tie. The score is 149 and 147.

So, yeah, I'll beat you then.

[man 1] Yo, what's with you, man?

[sighs]

-Those assholes. -Seo-hae.

[tense music]

[static noise]

[grunts] Ah, shit! Oh, come on, what the hell?

Hey! Let's go!

[man 1] Looks like I'm gonna win today.

[drone whooshes]

How many are there?

Around nine or ten.

Those pieces of shit.

We'll have to leave the stuff behind.

More of them will come because of the gunshots.

Behind the post.

-[earpiece beeps] -The post?

Ah…

Hey, you two!

You vandalized our turf and now you gotta pay for it.

So get out here now!

You get out here now.

[scoffs] Is she crazy or what?

[guns cocking]

-[gunshot] -[tense music]

[drone buzzing]

[man 3 whispers] Why did you do it?

Ah, shit! Boss, they're not here!

-[earpiece beeps] -What's their position?

[exhales]

By the tool board.

[gun fires]

[Seo-hae gasps]

[Seo-hae grunts]

[Seo-hae pants]

Shit.

Hey, tell the other guys to meet us here.

[Dong-gi pants]

Here.

-I grabbed it for you. -[gasps]

Nice. Score.

-You're not hurt, are you? -No, I'm good.

[gun fires]

[man shouts]

[Dong-gi] Out!

[gasps] But, Dad!

[tense music]

[gasps, pants]

Someone get that bitch!

[drone whooshes]

-[suspenseful music] -[footsteps]

[remote control clicking]

[drone buzzing]

[drone thuds]

[shudders] Don't kill me please.

How old are you?

[shudders] Uh, 18 years old.

[inhales, exhales]

[tense music]

[gun fires]

Huh?

[Seo-hae gasps]

Why didn't you shoot him, huh?

He was obviously gonna shoot you.

He wasn't gonna make it in this world anyway.

Enough, Seo-hae!

[Dong-gi exhales]

The moment you let your guard down, you will lose everything.

[gasps]

My god.

[Dong-gi pants]

I'm fine. It was just a graze.

[running footsteps]

[Dong-gi] Let's go.

[Dong-gi grunts]

[Dong-gi groans, exhales]

[sighs] Are you all right, Pa?

Of course.

[exhales]

[Seo-hae] By the way, what is this place?

[Dong-gi] A house spa.

[Seo-hae] What did people do here?

[Dong-gi] Oh, people used to come here to use the sauna.

What's a sauna?

Hmm.

It's like a warm room where you go to relax.

You can bathe there, too,

and watch some television.

So it used to be warm in here.

[shudders, exhales]

[tranquil music]

-Um, Dad. -[Dong-gi] Mm-hmm?

Which is the best tasty one on there?

Oh, the jjajangmyeon, of course.

It was your favorite when you were little.

I didn't know that.

If you were to order something, what would you choose?

[Dong-gi] Ah…

[Dong-gi sighs]

Ttukbaegi bulgogi.

What's that?

Oh.

It's bulgogi that's boiled inside of…

of ttukbaegi.

Ttukbaegi is what?

A pot. It's usually used to make a stew.

Bulgogi is?

Bulgogi is…

beef that's marinated in soy sauce, then boiled.

-But is it good? -Good? It's delicious.

Your mom's bulgogi was really good.

[Dong-gi] What about you? What do you want to eat the most?

Tteokbokki.

Sometimes, she would make it for me as an after school snack.

It was so good.

Pa…

[Dong-gi] Yeah?

If you could go back in time, what would you do when you got there?

[tranquil music continues]

SAUNA

[groans]

[clicks tongue]

[sighs]

[Seo-hae exhales]

There's so much water here and it tastes good too.

We never had enough water to drink.

The water tastes good?

Yeah, it's good. Why?

You drank it? The bathwater?

Mm-hmm. What?

Nothing. Well done.

[groans]

This place is packed. Why did we come here?

Because it's safe.

They can't shoot at us here and we can easily spot anyone suspicious.

Yeah. And the water's good.

It's really warm here.

Of course, it's warm, this is a sauna. It's not gonna be cold.

Well, I didn't know.

[Tae-sul] It must be nice to be so clueless.

CAFETERIA

What? You want food?

I'll get…

the tonkatsu.

Special tonkatsu. For you?

I'll get…

TTUKBAEGI BULGOGI

Ttukbaegi bulgogi.

[Tae-sul] Hmm.

[cutlery clinking]

Mm.

What's wrong?

It's really good.

[cutlery thuds]

What's this?

Since you'll be with me from here on out, I figured you will need it.

SEO-HAE

[cell phone rings]

[cell phone buzzes]

Mm. That's my number. So save it.

Hand it over.

[groans] Seriously?

Are there no cell phones in the future or what?

HAN TAE-SUL

"Han Tae-sul."

Don't pick up the phone for anybody else but me.

You're the only person I know.

[Tae-sul exhales]

Your diary was ruined when it got wet.

So I got you a similar one.

[mystical music]

So you bought me this?

-Hey. -Hmm?

When your brother came back to see you,

you said he had a suitcase with him and some kind of key, didn't you?

Yeah, the key to the safe.

What did you put in the safe, huh?

Some research

about topological changes of space-time and the inflection points.

Sorry. What is that?

Wait…

Maybe that's the uploader.

[coughs]

Now, that being said, let's finish our food

and head over to my house.

If we're gonna sneak in to the chairman's party,

we have to figure out what to wear, and that key is back there.

[bangs on table] What?

[Tae-sul] Damn it.

[Seo-hae] Are you kidding me?

You've left something that important at home?

I didn't know it was important.

I kept it here 'cause it was safe.

It's in a safe spot.

[Tae-sul scoffs]

-Where's the key? -In my lab.

Looks like someone ransacked your house.

It always looks like this.

It looks kinda messy but it's an orderly mess.

-Where did you put it? -In my drawer.

That's not a very safe spot.

[scoffs]

Relax, okay?

-[clink] -[Tae-sul] See?

Hmm?

Good, right?

So… the party's tomorrow,

we're gonna need to find somewhere safe to rest until then.

-Wait a minute. -What?

-Shh. -[elevator beeps]

[approaching footsteps]

[door lock keypad beeping]

[door opens]

[door lock beeps]

Can you fill me in?

Yes. The alarm system shut down for a few minutes.

-Did it ever lose power? -No.

Take a look around.

[Seung-bok sighs]

[ominous music]

You're too close.

[whispers] Be quiet.

[creaks]

[cell phone chiming]

[cell phone beeps]

Yes, sir.

I went to Tae-sul's apartment to check on something.

[Seung-bok] The alarm system was down.

So I came over to check. Everything was okay. It's all working now.

I don't think there's anything to worry about.

The guards are here checking the grounds.

[inhales]

The thing is…

the police said they're stopping the search for him.

They only search for missing persons for up to two weeks.

I'm also…

just going to let it go now.

All right.

Okay, will do.

[sighs]

Everything's all clear, sir.

Have a few guys stand guard outside the house until tomorrow morning.

-[cell phone chimes] -[line rings]

Is this the police?

I'm calling because…

[Tae-sul] I'm telling you, they are seriously everywhere.

It's gotta be a government organization.

They tapped our phones.

-[sighs] -[police] Yes. Go ahead.

I got the wrong number. Sorry. Sorry about that.

[recorder beeps]

[Seo-jin] Are you still seeing things these days?

[Tae-san] They're not hallucinations.

I'm serious. Those… those people…

They're living among us, hidden.

And they…

will kill Tae-sul.

Who are "they"?

Sigma.

HAN TAE-SAN

[Mr. Park] You idiots! Are you kidding me?

[digital trilling on computer]

They're gone? They're gone, huh?

Find them now. Find them.

[sighs] They've disappeared.

[inhales sharply, exhales]

-You checked his house? -We went there. But couldn't go in

'cause it was totally surrounded by guards.

[Mr. Park] Find them

and when you do, they're returned here…

right here. You understand?

[Mr. Park] Huh?

God, that little shit.

He'll regret this. Yeah.

[chuckles] Get out there. You know what to do.

[Mr. Park] Hmm.

[Mr. Park sighs]

Find them yourself if it's that urgent.

That's what I'm gonna do!

[ominous music]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Tae-sul] Ah, shit.

Is there a rear door?

Yeah, paparazzi was a problem so I have a secret one.

But they're standing in front of it.

-"Paparazzi"? -Yeah.

The tabloids.

I used to date someone that was famous.

What? Does that matter right now?

[Tae-sul scoffs]

Let's just wait.

-Until when? -Until tomorrow morning.

They'll go on patrol at nine o'clock, we'll leave then.

I know where all the security cameras are.

[Seo-hae sighs]

Move away from the window.

You've been standing at the window this whole time.

There is, my dad won't let me have it.

Oh, that sucks. Your dad was too strict.

Hmm. Drink it.

It's because I can't.

'Cause of the Control Bureau? They would be in danger.

That's my brother.

Hmm. See that over there?

Ove there up on the hill.

[Tae-sul] That's a poor area.

My brother and I lived there in the basement

until I graduated middle school. Just the two of us.

He started off as…

as an auto mechanic then he used his skills to work on trains.

Know what a train is?

He worked for a maintenance company.

He'd always be working at a different train station,

traveling around the country.

[Tae-sul exhales]

Maybe that's how he learned how to hide so well.

[inhales sharply] Let's change the subject.

Are there any places you wanna visit?

Any places I wanna visit?

An amusement park? Why?

To ride the Viking.

You don't know how to have fun.

I don't know what it's like in the future,

but people love Yeonnam-dong.

It's the coolest neighborhood in Seoul.

There's tons of really good restaurants and bars.

[exhales] No, thanks.

You don't wanna go? Water parks are really fun.

-What are those? -They're kinda like swimming pools.

-I don't like swimming pools. -Why not? Hey.

If you go there, you'll see hot men and beautiful women

checking each other out.

They stand around chatting each other up and then after that,

they eat churros together.

I wanna go on that ride.

[sighs] Ride the Viking?

Mm-hmm.

On my ninth birthday, I went with my mom to the amusement park for that ride,

I was too short by…

two centimeters.

So then I promised her I'd grow taller

and be able to ride it next year.

But then the war started.

[inhales]

Hey, that ride is no big deal.

To tell you the truth…

the Viking is a bad memory for me.

-[yawns] -[exhales]

Was it a holiday?

My brother and I worked this part-time gig at the amusement park.

Our job was to check the equipment and clean.

I was waiting under the ride while it was operating

when suddenly, vomit fell all over me.

That smell.

It won't leave my clothes for weeks…

I'm sorry you couldn't hold the funeral for her.

-I've reported you to Missing Persons. -Okay.

So now… [sighs]

…we're family.

A report came in last night.

[foreboding music]

[man] Here are the movements of illegal entrant 250811 and Han Tae-sul.

Han Tae-sul went to Busan to avoid us after encountering the illegal entrant

and came in contact with her again.

Then he ran away with her help.

After that, they disappeared for about three days.

Then they broke into a home in Imun-dong,

killed an innocent civilian, stole some money and a car and escaped.

And that was six days ago and their trail has gone cold.

[Hyun-seung] The intel

is based on statements made by a number of the illegal entrants.

Now, we've become aware…

of where they're going to be next.

You're still in training but…

if you like to join this operation,
