19 YEARS AGO AUGUST 6, 2001

[machine whirring]

[phone buzzing]

[buzzing continues]

Hello?

[chuckles] So you are alive?

I thought you were dead. Bro, why didn't you answer?

What time is it?

It's way after nine, almost ten.

What?

I told you to wake me up at 8:00 p.m.

I called you plenty. You just didn't pick up the phone.

I told you I'm meeting with investors tomorrow

so I need to get the results today.

You have one job. What happened?

Hey, I support you while working my ass off,

smelling dirty oil every day. And that's all you can say?

Anyway, I'm pretty much done. I'll be home around midnight.

Do you wanna have some beers?

Yeah. Sounds good.

Hey, man, listen.

When you're on your way home, pick up some Red Bulls, yeah?

And don't get the cheap, fake kind. I want the real Red Bulls. Okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.

[scoffs]

[inhales]

[groans, exhales]

Oh, shit. I'm so screwed. [grunts]

[groaning]

[machine whirring]

How far along are we?

[sniffs]

Huh?

[keyboard clacking]

[buzzing]

-[beeping] -[gasps]

Yeah.

Is this the time it's gonna work?

[sighs] Please work.

-[clicks] -[machine buzzes]

-[power shuts off] -[electricity crackles]

[screams] [Tae-sul] Ah! What the hell?

[power shutoff]

[power shutoff continues]

[dogs barking]

[frustrated sigh]

I'm so screwed.

[clicks tongue]

[sighs]

-[lights crackle] -[passengers gasp]

-[electricity crackles] -[man 1] The lights.

What… What's happening?

[power shuts off]

-[man 2] Why are the lights going out? -[man 3] Shit.

-Damn it. -[flashlight clicks]

[woman 1] Oh, my god! Is that a person?

-What? -Where?

Hey! There's someone there! On the track!

-Look! -Hey, get off of there!

Get…

[Tae-san] Everyone, please stand back. Please stand back.

-[indistinct chatter] -[man 4] Yeah, right there.

[Tae-san] Hey, you can't be here. It's dangerous.

The train is going to arrive soon.

Hey!

Hey!

-Sir? -[luggage thuds]

What?

Is this guy drunk?

Hey! Hey, you! Hey, man, are you okay?

You can't be here. You got to…

[ominous music]

What is this?

Wait.

[pants] Why does he have a picture of Tae-sul?

RECORD OF ATTACKS ON HAN TAE-SUL

JULY 15, 2020: PLANE CRASH AUGUST 15, 2020: CONFERENCE SHOOTING

Hey! What is this? What does this mean?

Who are you? How do you know Tae-sul?

Who the hell are you?

[gasps]

What?

[Tae-san] What?

[electricity crackling]

Huh? [terrified breathing]

Hey, you… You…

Hey! Hey, you!

Who are you?

[train horn blaring]

Oh, shit!

Oh…

[train horn blaring]

[static noise]

[gasps]

[breathing deeply]

You're awake.

[Tae-sul] You often have nightmares. So do I.

They're gone.

It's time for us to go.

Okay.

BANK TRANSFER FORM THREE MILLION WON

"Kim Jin-hui."

RESIDENT ID CARD

RESIDENT ID CARD PARK JAE-UK

"Park Jae-uk."

[Bingbing] Boss!

God, you scared me!

What are you doing here?

You left the store?

It's payday for the boys. I came to withdraw money.

What the hell! Why don't you do that with your phone?

Jeez! Get back to the store.

[scoffs]

It's too dangerous for an illegal immigrant like me to bank by phone.

Who are you sending that money to?

There's three million won missing sometimes. This is why?

[sighs] You watch your mouth. Go.

-Who are you sending three million won to? -For God's sake!

Wow. I bust my ass seven days a week, but you only give me 1.8 million.

I give you heated food and a place to put your head at night.

Also, when you score big, your bonus pay kicks in.

Work harder, and I'll raise your pay to three million.

[clicks tongue] Uh, just go find Han Tae-sul already!

Oh, you… Will you just go before I cut your pay?

[sighs]

You're the worst.

Yeah, I'm the worst. You can report me to the Department of Labor.

You could sue me.

Give me headaches, foolish kids.

[suspenseful music]

[nervous breathing]

Stop staring.

[Tae-sul] I told you it's fine.

You know that thing you're headed to is a party.

Pretty.

-[gun cocks] -Where should I hide my gun?

[sighs] You know what?

Let's not shoot or get shot by anyone. Put it in there.

Why aren't you dressed up?

But I can't go in because I'll be recognized. I told you.

Ah…

[nervous sigh] So I just walk right in there?

Yeah. That'll be easy.

I put you on the list.

WE'RE PLEASED TO INVITE MISS GRACE PARK

[Seo-hae stammers] Gr…

Grace Park.

"Grace Park". This is how you pronounce it.

Park is your name.

You're an employee at a foreign investment company.

If someone asks you something, just pretend you don't speak the language,

and they won't ask any questions.

I don't think I can pull that off.

It's fine. People don't get suspicious

of people who are dressed up and look this nice.

I feel foolish.

You're not foolish.

Besides, you'll be hiding among fools anyway.

All right. I'll go through the back door,

and take a look around the back and upstairs.

-And you? -I'll be downstairs.

The entrance in the hall.

Right.

[Tae-sul chuckles]

[Tae-sul exhales] Wait.

Listen, okay. Let's make sure we go over this one last time.

All we need to do is find out where my brother is.

Please don't make a scene.

You always hit people, twist their arms,

knock them out and stuff. Don't do that this time.

Look at you. You're all dressed up tonight.

So you just can't do that in there.

The most important thing is that even if it's Sigma, don't engage.

-We'll see. -Hey!

-Yeah, fine. -[clicks tongue]

I'll stall for a sec.

[sighs sharply]

-[earpiece beeps] -[Tae-sul] Can you hear me?

[whispers] You say something.

-[beeps] -Stop that.

Here.

It's an EMP.

If things go wrong, and you get really stuck,

push this red button here.

The whole building will then be blacked out,

but all communication will go down.

Hm?

Gang Seo-hae.

[Tae-sul chuckles]

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music continues]

[gadget buzzing]

We got the go ahead.

If you see the girl, shoot her dead onsite.

Now, get in position.

[ominous music]

[jazz music playing]

Evening. May I have your name, please?

Grace Park.

Uh, one moment.

Okay. Welcome, Ms. Park.

Ms. Grace Park has arrived.

[indistinct chatter]

[jazz music playing]

I'm in.

[Tae-sul] Is everything okay?

People keep looking at me.

[Tae-sul] I told you not to do anything that draw attention.

I haven't done anything.

-[Tae-sul] And my brother? -I don't see him.

What are all these people gathered here for?

Oh! They're all gathered here to celebrate my untimely death.

I thought they're from your company.

[Tae-sul] Technically, it's a joint stock company,

and I only own 5% of the shares.

The people who own the other 95%

are having a party to celebrate my death right now.

[clears throat]

Uh…

[Chairman Kim] Although we haven't made an official announcement yet,

since we're all gathered here, let me share some news in advance.

Quantum & Time will now have a new CEO,

Edward Kim.

Eddy, say a few words.

[guests applauding]

Thank you so much. Thank you all for coming.

I'm sure you've been very worried about our company

due to the recent unfortunate incidents.

I haven't been officially appointed yet, but as your new CEO,

let me tell you,

one thing is for certain.

From now on, Quantum & Time will always stand for

these two qualities, reliability and stability.

-I'd like to take this opportunity to ask… -[scoffs]

…for your help and support once again.

Look at them all happy now.

[applause]

[dramatic music]

[Tae-sul] Hey, listen.

When we're done with all this,

let's go to an amusement park.

I'll be your guide.

I thought you didn't like amusement parks.

[Tae-sul] Is that what you heard?

Well, you said that you wanted to go to one.

So I'll just go and wait in line with you.

[chuckles]

So be careful.

And don't get hurt.

You too.

[indistinct chatter]

[foreboding music]

-[earpiece beeps] -Team A is ready.

-[earpiece beeps] -Team B is ready.

Sniper Team… in place.

[cocks]

-[earpiece beeps] -Commencing jamming communications now.

[monitor buzzing]

[sucks teeth]

Excuse me.

Have we met before? You look familiar.

[jazz music playing]

Did we…

see each other at a conference?

Atlanta? Sydney?

I certainly wouldn't forget meeting a beautiful woman like you.

Sorry.

We really don't know each other?

[chuckles] No.

[chuckles]

Well, in that case, I guess I can relax.

I've shaken hands with these people here more than a hundred times tonight.

They all came here to offer me their highest congratulations.

But the thing is…

none of these people have earned my trust at all.

To them, I'm just a greeting card.

Once they have received the card, they just toss it.

Just like my friend.

Han Tae-sul.

You know?

[inhales sharply] What was I thinking?

I know he was an asshole, but at least he wasn't a total asshole.

You're the only here who doesn't know me

so that means you have to join me in this toast.

Tae-sul…

you and I will meet in hell.

[clinks]

[sighs]

So how'd you get here?

Oh, I'm here with a friend.

Who's your friend? I know everyone here.

Where is she?

Uh…

[ominous music]

[Tae-sul] All we need to do is find out where my brother is.

Uh… Pardon me.

Tae-sul, I just saw Han Tae-san.

[approaching footsteps]

[agent] I'm looking around upstairs.

-[beeps] -Yeah, it's all clear.

[sighs]

[Seo-hae] Han Tae-sul, can you hear me? I saw your brother.

-[static] -What was that? Seo-hae?

Seo-hae? Come in!

-What did you say? -[static noise]

What did you say? Seo-hae!

[sighs] What did she say?

[ominous music]

[Tae-sul] What is this?

"Technology transfer contract"?

QUANTUM TELEPORTATION TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AGREEMENT

QUANTUM & TIME WILL SHARE TECHNOLOGY WITH SIGMA

"Sigma".

[ominous music continues]

[earpiece beeps]

Answer me, Han Tae-sul. I saw your brother.

Hey!

[pants]

Find that woman now!

Find her!

[sighs]

I know who you are.

Listen carefully.

You must stay away from Tae-sul. Do you understand?

What? Tae-sul, what happened?

Mr. Kim. What… what is this contract?

Sigma! Sigma? Who the hell is that?

It's our investor.

Since when?

Since when? Since the beginning. You've authorized all of it.

What?

CEO: HAN TAE-SUL

-[Tae-sul sighs] -[phone vibrates]

[agent] The Control Bureau will start their operation in one minute.

[breathes deeply]

You should've attended at least one board meeting.

I told you to pay more attention to the company affairs.

-I'm going to tell everyone. -[Chairman Kim] Tell them what exactly?

That some maniac called Sigma is trying to kill you and take over the company?

Or that there's a time machine,

and that somehow, people are coming back from the future?

[ominous music]

What? Did you think you're the only one who knew about it?

What?

You were all working together?

Who's going to hear your story and believe you now?

I'm sorry, let it go. Don't end up like your brother

-and get put in a mental hospital-- -What did you say?

They can easily make you look like you're a lunatic.

Keep it together.

The Control Bureau is already here, and this will all be over soon.

I swear I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna kill--

[gasps, groans]

[labored breathing]

[groaning]

[labored breathing]

[line ringing]

I have Han Tae-sul.

Tell them to move on the girl.

[Tae-san] You're Gang Seo-hae, and your father's Lieutenant Gang Dong-gi.

You'll put Tae-sul in danger if you stay here, okay?

This is a final warning.

If you cross paths with me again…

I'll have to kill you.

We found her.

The Control Bureau is here, Tae-sul.

Tae-sul!

-[gasps] -[clattering]

[both grunting]

Get her!

[suspenseful music]

-[agent 1] Grab her. -[agent 2] Damn it!

-[agent 1] Go! -[agent 2] Hey! Get the door open now!

[pants] Where are you, huh?

[gunshot]

[groans, grunts]

[panting]

[gun cocks]

Han Tae-sul… God, you idiot! Why don't you answer me?

[Tae-sul] It's an EMP.

If things go wrong, and you get really stuck,

push this red button here.

The whole building will then be blacked out,

but all communication will go down.

Goodbye.

-[electricity crackles] -[power shuts down]

[gun cocking]

[Seo-hae groans, pants]

[groaning]

-[power turns on] -[gasps]

[panting]

Let's not make a scene.

[Hyun-seung] There are a lot of people here.

You have nowhere to go.

[gun cocking]

[Hyeon-gi] Don't go outside. There's a sniper.

It was my first job. To kill you.

[gasps]

[car revving]

[horn honking]

[tires screeching]

[Jae-sun] Hey!

[car revving]

Put down your guns down. Get the plate number!

[tires screeching]

[revving]

Happy to see me? You remember me, right?

What are you doing here?

Aren't you glad?

Turn the car around. Han Tae-sul…

Wait. Is that blood?

You… Are you okay? Did you get shot?

Where's… Han Tae-sul?

-[Jae-sun] Huh? Are you okay? -[groans]

Hey, hey! Pull yourself together.

Hey, hey! Are you okay? Come on.

Stay with me!

Shit. Hey!

Oh, sh…

[Jae-sun breathing nervously]

[dramatic music]

[Seo-hae] Tae-sul, get down!

Han Tae-sul, get down now!

[gunshot]

[heart rate monitor beeping]

[labored breathing]

[groans]

[gasps]

-[heart rate monitor beeping] -[panting]

Ah, shit!

[groans]

Tae-sul! You're awake!

Tae-sul! Are you okay? Huh?

Tae-sul, look at me.

What are you doing?

[Seung-bok] Are you okay?

Of course, I'm not okay.

How much do you remember?

What?

You got shot at the conference.

You're lucky the bullet grazed your ear.

One centimeter to the left and you wouldn't have survived.

[Seung-bok] They caught the shooter who probably has a grudge

against the company.

-Tae-sul, let me examine you. -Stop it.

[frustrated sigh]

-You can't be moving around. No! -Hey, Tae-sul!

-[Seo-jin] Lie back down! -Let me go!

You got shot, okay? I thought we lost you!

Until yesterday, they said you'd be a vegetable--

Damn it! What the hell that the two of you even talking about?

[groaning]

Han Tae-sul! Get down now!

[gunshot]

[panting]

What are you…

What are you trying to pull here?

Tae-sul.

Seo-hae, where is she?

Who?

That woman, Seo-hae…

She was the one that escaped with me from the conference.

-Hey, man. -She's the one who saved me.

I've been hiding with her.

And Sigma. What happened with Sigma?

And Tae-san, huh? Huh?

Where is Tae-san?

Calm down. You know your brother is dead.

Kim Seo-jin, you…

You… you saw me a few days ago.

At your clinic. When was that?

It… it must have been four days after the conference.

August… August 19th.

Okay. So where is the woman that you treated that day?

-Tae-sul. -What?

Today is August 19th.

[ominous music]

[chuckles]

What are you talking about?

AUGUST 19, WEDNESDAY

You're messing with me.

-Tae-sul. -You're messing with me?

-Please stop, Tae-sul. -Enough!

-[Seung-bok] Tae-sul! -[Seo-jin] Please!

Move!

Get out of my way.

[panting]

AUGUST 19, WEDNESDAY

Huh? What?

-What? -[remote control clanks]

[beeps]

[Tae-sul] August 19th.

What… What is going on here?

Why are you doing this? You…

You two staged all this, right?

Eddy Kim.

I heard you when you were talking on the phone about my funeral.

You were so happy to be CEO because I was dead.

You threw a party, got drunk and…

[terrified breaths]

Hey, Tae-sul, what's happening?

-[panicked breathing] -[Seo-jin] Just relax.

This is common. Take a deep breath.

[panting]

Give me my phone. Give me my phone. I need to call Seo-hae.

-Tae-sul, please stop doing this! -You stop, you asshole!

You guys are jerks. You know that?

You think I'm gonna fall for this? Really?

Who put you up to this?

Seo-jin…

Is it your father? Huh? Huh?

-Tae-sul, will you please just-- -Okay. You have to calm down.

I know everything.

Okay? I know that you're all working together. Oh, yeah.

I saw and heard everything at the party.

You wanna hand my technology over to Sigma.

Because of the uploader, isn't it?

Tell me. Who put you up to this?

Sigma? Control Bureau?

And you!

You knew all along that people were coming back from the future!

-Tae-sul! Han Tae-sul! -[Seo-jin] Come back!

[Seo-jin] No running!

[grunts]

-[grunts] -[shouts]

-[woman] Oh! -[man 1] What's wrong with him?

What's the date? [pants]

What's the date?

August 19th? Ah…

-[grunts] -[man 2] Damn it!

-[all grunting] -Get off of me! Get off of me!

Let go of me! Now, assholes!

[Seo-jin] Out of the way!

-Let me go! -Hey! It's okay!

-[Seung-bok] You're okay. -[Seo-jin] Just relax.

-Everything's okay. -Don't do it! Don't do it!

Don't do it! Don't… Don't do it!

-[Seung-bok] Tae-sul. -No, please! Stop it.

[Tae-sul] Don't do it…

Don't do it…

[labored breathing]

Don't do it…

[anchorman] In our next story,

Quantum & Time's CEO Han Tae-sul

seems to have regained consciousness at the hospital this morning.

Choi Ji-eun is there now.

CEO Han Tae-sul miraculously regained consciousness

-around 11:00 a.m. today. -[cameras clicking]

He had been rendered unconscious for four days after the shooting

at PEXCO in Busan on the 15th of August.

[Ji-eun] According to the doctors, his life is no longer in danger.

However, he's still suffering from the aftereffects

and won't be able to go back to work for a while.

[machine whirring]

[Seo-jin] This is all my fault.

[Seung-bok] How is it your fault that he lashed out and lost control?

No. I should've treated him better from the very beginning.

When he started talking nonsense and then started seeing things--

You know how stubborn he is.

I should've stopped him from going to the conference.

[sighs]

[breathes deeply]

[Seo-jin] There's a condition called confabulation.

It's usually something we see when someone has an alcohol addiction.

When your frontal lobe is damaged, it can cause memory loss.

You make up false memories to fill the gaps.

And then you start to believe that they're actually true.

Then we have to take into account

that you were already addicted to drugs when you got shot.

I told you, right? You had an epidural hematoma.

It's this, right here.

I believe you're suffering from the aftereffects of it.

You must be seeing things that aren't really there,

or getting confused about the distinction between reality and dream.

-[sighs] -[heart rate monitor beeping]

[door beeps]

Well, you're home now.

[whirring]

[Seung-bok] Vitamin B will help you recover. Here.

It's a tranquilizer.

Don't make this harder for yourself, okay?

Juice too.

I saw Tae-san.

I did. I swear.

When I was giving the speech at the conference,

he was sitting there.

He was looking around at the reporters, like he was looking for something.

Then the next thing I know… I was getting shot at.

And then I got saved by that woman.

[clicks tongue] Seo-hae?

Yeah, Seo-hae.

I know you're not gonna believe me, but it's true.

We're not the only ones in this world.

They say that I'm going to build a time machine.

Apparently, they all call it the uploader.

There are people using it to come back from the future.

The Control Bureau is there to catch them.

And there are these brokers, too.

And one of these people who have come back…

tried to kill me.

Like The Terminator?

Yeah.

And she'll protect you, this Seo-hae woman?

She says the world is gonna end.

Or more precisely,

that there's a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.

Forget it.

I do sound crazy.

Seo-jin told me to listen to whatever you say.

She doesn't want you to use your phone or the internet so I cut the Wi-Fi.

Just bear with it for a bit.

When Seo-jin says it's okay, then I'll give you--

Seung-bok.

What is it?

Why don't you be honest with me?

You're lying to me, right?

No.

Really? Are you sure?

Mm-hm.

[chuckles]

Have I really gone crazy then?

I think you're just really tired. You've been…

[Tae-sul] You know…

you've been a true friend to me up until now…

Seung-bok.

Swear to me now.

Look me in the eyes and tell me.

Honestly, are you lying to me?

Oh, man, I wish I could tell you that I was.

[sighs]

[exhales]

You need rest. I got to go.

Oh.

And, uh, the pills might give you a headache.

Rest.

[groans]

[groaning]

-[Tae-san] Another headache? -[gasps]

It's because your blood sugar is low.

It comes naturally to people like you who work their brains every day.

You need to eat some sweets, like chocolate.

It's been a while.

Well, I've always been somewhere by your side.

-[thuds] -Would you please stop it!

[sighs]

[somber music]

[Tae-sul] That's the Namsan Tower.

[Seo-hae] Oh, so that's how it used to look, huh?

What's it like in the future?

It's collapsed on its side.

[Seo-hae] Things are very…

different in the future.

The land is barren.

I have to look after 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.

[somber music continues]

-We missed you. -I'm sorry. I've been so busy.

[laughs]

Mom, how are you feeling these days, huh?

I'm good as always.

Honey, it's you that I worry about.

I know that you do. But I don't wanna hear you're worrying over me.

I want you to keep getting better.

Hmm. [laughs]

[Chairman Kim] You're here.

Yes.

Come talk with me.

[Seo-jin] Mm.

-Go on. -Mm-hm.

How's Tae-sul?

[Seo-jin] He still seems quite confused.

[sighs]

I imagine he is.

I was sure to use a heavy dose of drugs.

How much?

-[pills rattle] -Here. Take this.

It'll help with your headache.

[pills rattling]

Is it getting any worse?

Seeing things?

Which things?

The things I've always seen? Or the new crazy things?

I heard you told Eddy the whole story.

[sighs]

It's not a story.

I don't know.

Though I'm not sure if it really happened or not anymore.

But the moments and my feelings…

I remember them all. I do.

Well, that's how our human senses work.

Hmm…

You said something about nuclear war.

The US-North Korea talks, Kim Jong-un, Trump, nuclear missiles,

they were all over the news recently.

You quickly made up your own false memories

with what you are able to remember subconsciously.

[Seo-jin] A time machine?

Maybe you want to travel back in time.

For delusions, it's classic.

Tae-sul.

Get proper treatment this time.

Because if you don't improve, you'll get admitted to a hospital.

You know what's gonna happen to your job at the company, then? Hm?

Doctors aren't supposed to go along with their patient's delusions,

but when the patient doesn't improve, we try something like this.

Here, take a look.

PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVIEW NOTES

Those are the things that you told Eddy.

CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN HIS BROTHER IN THE RECORDING OF THE PLANE CRASH

Think about why you started to have these delusions

and why you'd want to be making up these kinds of stories in your mind.

You're a smart guy.

Do you have shame?

Or is it…

anxiety?

Afraid you might lose your company?

That's enough.

Maybe it's pressure.

-You feel you have to outdo everyone? -[clatters]

I said that's…

[tense music]

[labored breathing]

Or is it a kind of defense mechanism?

Too hard to have a relationship, is it?

[labored breathing]

Is that why you always hurt everyone before they get a chance to hurt you?

[ominous music]

You… What's going on?

No…

Hmm… I've read everything you said up until this moment.

And I must admit something doesn't quite add up.

[labored breathing]

It's the key.

I wanna know where the key is.

[labored breathing]

[clatters]

[groans]

By the time we're done,

Tae-sul won't be able to recover from the addiction.

I've got a closed ward waiting already.

And Eddy?

[Seo-jin] He just thinks it's part of the treatment.

He can't think about anything but taking over the company right now.

And the key?

I'll find it soon enough.

We obviously must find where the key is hidden.

Your mother, without the medicine they give us, will die.

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music continues]

SATURDAY, FRIDAY, THURSDAY, WEDNESDAY

TUESDAY, MONDAY, SUNDAY, SATURDAY

[Seo-jin] The key?

[clatters]

If what you said was true, you had the key on you

when you snuck into my house during the party,

but you don't have it on you right now.

[Tae-sul groaning]

-Did you hide it? -[labored breathing]

-Or… -[groans]

Does Seo-hae, the girl on your imagination, have it?

[groaning]

-[yells] -[thuds]

[labored breathing]

[gasps]

[gasps weakly]

[static noise]

[sighs]

Look. Where's the key?

[sighs]

A promise is a promise.

[sighs] No idea.

God, this jerk. He has no decency.

[cocks]

-Shoot him. -[gunshot]

[grunts, gasps]

If you keep on doing this with us,

not only you, but everyone you know will get hurt.

So don't make this difficult. Tell us, where is the key?

I said I don't know. I told you I don't know!

-[cocks] -[gunshot]

[panting]

Seo-hae.

[Tae-sul panting]

Seo… Seo-hae?

Seo-hae.

[pensive music]

Huh?

The clock.

[Tae-sul] 10:00 p.m.

The moon.

[gasps]

[pensive music continues]

The azimuth of the moon.

It's 315.9.

Means today is…

September… 15th.

Busan was a month ago for the two of us.

Yeah.

It's been a month since we met.

That's right. And of course…

You… I remember.

Five.

Huh?

Four, three, two, and one.

-[shatters] -[gasps]

[pants]

[Seo-jin] Oh, my goodness.

That scared me.

Why did it drop out of the blue?

[Seo-jin sighs]

[grunts]

I'll clean it up later, Tae-sul.

Han Tae-sul!

Be careful. You'll cut your foot!

[Seo-jin sighs]

-It's not my mug. -[Seo-jin] What?

This isn't my mug.

Tae-sul, now let's return to the topic, shall we?

Do you remember where the key is?

[suspenseful music]

Why would that be important?

It's just some story I made up, anyway.

Or are they all things that actually happened to me?

[Tae-sul] It's an EMP.

If things go wrong, and you get really stuck,

push this red button here.

The whole building will then be blacked out,

but all communication will go down.

[Tae-sul chuckles]

I'M A MISOGAMIST TOO

[chuckles]

What?

Nothing.

What's that?

I gave this to someone.

And now they're here.

[whirring]

What are you doing, Tae-sul?

Send the security guards in. Everyone.

Tae-sul, come on now.

Please just stay where you are, okay?

If you move right now, you could get really hurt.

[Tae-sul] Seo-jin.

Can we stop this now?

And please watch where you step in here.

[power shuts off]

-[guard] Lock the door! -[Seo-jin] What? Turn the lights on!

Tae-sul! Tae-sul!

Tae-sul!

[sighs] Damn it!

[pants]

He couldn't have gone that far.

[vehicle approaching]

[Seo-jin] What are you doing here? I said I got this.

Where is Tae-sul? And the police?

I didn't call them because we should keep it quiet.

Well, I'm calling.

[beeps]

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Who are those men?

I'm calling the hospital to have Tae-sul admitted right away.

-You said he was gonna be okay. -No.

My diagnosis… is he's critical.

Seo-jin.

Why are you doing this?

Is there anything else I should know about?

No, there's nothing.

So you can just keep on doing everything that I tell you to do,

and you'll become the CEO.

Understand?

Do you have any other questions?

[tense music]

[breathing deeply]

-[guests exclaiming] -[beeps]

[Hyeon-gi screams]

[furious breathing]

[Hyun-seung] The mission was going to fail anyway.

[panting]

Maybe it was the darkness from the EMP.

Or maybe it was the wind.

Maybe you suddenly had a tremor in your hand.

Well, whatever the reason, it wasn't gonna work.

PERFORMANCE REPORT

OPERATION EXPECTED TO FAIL

Then why did you have me do it?

Would you still have gone if you knew you'd fail?

Yeah, I would.

Do you want some advice?

You've got to let it go.

You'll always do your best, then let it go.

Some of these things work out, and some don't.

If you wanna keep working here, then you have to remember.

Some of these things work out, and some don't.

That woman. That woman!

Will I be able to get her?

You said you knew what's going to happen.

If I tell you that you won't, will you still try?

Absolutely.

Then why do you ask?

You're going to get her.

So trust me and be patient.

[breathing sharply]

[police siren blaring]

CEO HAN TAE-SUL'S RETURN TO MANAGEMENT POSITION UNCLEAR

Yeah. I don't have any answers either.

[sighs]

[suspenseful music]

[policeman] Spread out and search. Block the exits.

[suspenseful music continues]

[suspenseful music intensifies]

Shit.

Come on.

[rustling]

Oh! A phone? There's no cable.

[gasps]

Okay, okay! Okay.

-Oh… -[metal clanking]

[soft crackling]

[tense music]

[clicks]

Telephone lines are at 2600 Hz.

Work, work, work.

Work. Come on. Work.

[dial tone]

[gasps] It worked!

[buttons beeping]

-[line ringing] -[panting]

-[Seo-hae] Hello? -Hello? Hello, Seo-hae?

-Seo-hae, is that you? -[Seo-hae] Yes.

[relieved sigh]

Are you… Are you all right? Are you safe?

Did you make it out of there okay?

Mm-hm. You seem to be doing well. I saw it on the news.

[chuckles] Really?

Hey, I got to tell you about today's society

because you'll probably have to adapt to it.

Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers or see on TV.

The world is more complicated than you think.

What's going on?

Seo-hae, listen to me.

Right now, you… you are the only person in the world

that I… that I can trust in my past, present, and future.

I was trapped, but I made it out of my house.

And now, I think I'm in a tight spot.

So can you help me out?

[Seo-hae] Where are you?

I'm at Hannam. Hannam Industrial Tool Shopping Center.

[clanks]

[Seo-hae] Well, I'm a little busy right now.

What? What could you possibly be doing right now?

-[Seo-hae] Just some stuff. -Wait. You're kidding me, right?

-[Seo-hae] Duck down. -What was that?

-[Seo-hae] I said duck! -Why would I…

-[gunshot] -[man grunts]

[thuds]

[gasps]

-Hello? Hello? Seo-hae? Seo-hae? -[busy dial tone]

-[phone clanks] -Oh, shit.

What the…

[tense music]

Huh?

[Tae-sul] The hell…

[panting]

[sighs]

[exhales]

What…

Hey! What are you doing here?

You said you were busy.

What can I do? You said I'm the only one that you can trust.

Huh? [pants]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

[mystical music]

[man] Ah! This is my favorite part.

It's so romantic.

Isn't it, Mr. Han Tae-san?

[dramatic music]

[exhales]

["Stay: tempus" by GSoul playing]

♪ She says just go ♪

♪ I turn around ♪

[Seo-hae] Help me save Han Tae-sul.

You think you could change anything?

[gunshot]

[Seo-hae] I know I can.

[revving]

[Tae-sul] Sigma, who are they?

[Seo-hae] I met your brother.

[Tae-san] I found out who Sigma is.

He's been with us since the beginning.

[Mr. Park] Never turn off the downloader.

[Tae-sul] For the person who's also watching this,

you stay where you are.

I'll come find you.
