[Seo-hae grunts]

[Jae-sun] I told you not to put that dress on her.

[Go-eun] Why?

She'll beat you up even if you saved her life.

-Be careful. Okay? -[sighs]

[clears throat] Uh, hey, are you all right?

You shouldn't be moving around.

Oh, she's a nursing major.

[Jae-sun] She got you medicine and sutured your wounds.

You should really go to a hospital and get it checked out.

Where are we?

Mm, it's our home.

-[clanks] -Where are you going? You can barely walk.

Too much time passed. Tae-sul must have been caught.

Mm. Don't think so.

[TV chimes on]

-[camera shutters clicking] -[man] It's Han Tae-sul! Han Tae-sul!

[Jae-sun] This has been on the news since yesterday.

QUANTUM & TIME'S CEO HAN TAE-SUL EXPECTED TO RETURN TO OFFICE SOON

He seems to be fine.

[melancholic music]

[sighs]

-[phone dials] -[line ringing]

[operator] The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

[inhales, sighs]

-Please move. -She told you not to move around.

You could at least thank us for saving your life.

Thank you, really. Now move.

-[exasperated sigh] -[cloth rustles]

[utensils clinking]

[light music]

Here, just taste it. That's it.

-[door opens] -[young Seo-hae] Mom!

[Eun-hee] Seo-hae! You're home.

It smells really good in here. What are you making?

-[Eun-hee] Oh, are you hungry? -Yeah.

I'm making sausage stir-fried with veggies!

-[knife chops] -Have a bite.

[munches]

-It's good, right? -[both chuckle]

-Don't eat too much of it. -Okay.

[metal lid clanks]

Oh, my. You're awake, huh? You must be hungry.

[Mrs. Choi] Come on. Sit down.

You two as well, okay? Sit down over there.

[Mrs. Choi] Here.

I think that my brother really likes you.

He was looking after you the whole time you were out. This jerk never does that.

[Go-eun giggles]

[clears throat]

Oh, my goodness. All you do is eat. You never help me cook, you just eat.

You shouldn't get married. I don't want someone else's son to suffer.

Are you serious? What's the matter with you?

Don't worry. I plan to stay single, okay?

I'm staying single by choice, and will live with you forever.

[Mrs. Choi] God.

What is "single by choice"?

That you don't believe in marriage.

Are you the same way?

Told you. Nobody wants to get married these days.

Oi, you're gonna stay single 'cause no one wants you.

[Go-eun] Oi, are you talking about yourself?

[Mrs. Choi] Guys, that's enough! Just eat.

[utensils clink]

Mom, will you cook for me every day?

Is that all I'm good for, huh?

Everything you cook is so delicious, Mom.

-Please? -Whatever. It's the cooking app I use.

Delete that. You don't need it. Just cook for me.

-Oh, no way. -What can I help you with? Mom, please!

-[Mrs. Choi] Do I know you? Go away. -[Go-eun] Oh, the dishes?

-[Mrs. Choi] No. -Mom! I'll help you out a lot.

-[Go-eun] Can't you cook for me every day? -Uh-uh-uh.

-Oh, my god. Hey! -Mom, please.

[Eun-hee] Please. Take care of our little girl.

[helicopter whirring]

[young Seo-hae crying]

Mom! Mom!

Mom! [young Seo-hae wailing]

[door closes]

Mom!

-[container rumbles] -[electricity zaps]

Mom!

[somber music]

[Jae-sun sighs] Here.

[gulps]

Would you have preferred tea instead?

[exhales] Are you feeling better now?

Mm-hmm, thanks for asking.

Yeah. [snickers]

Ah, you know, I won the lottery thanks to you.

[train honks]

[exhales]

[woman on PA] Train C is now boarding.

[sighs] Shit.

[Jae-sun] The day you suddenly disappeared…

[siren blaring]

…I didn't know what to do, so I just went home on foot.

But then, I found out that Mr. Muk died.

He was the owner of the restaurant.

[deep inhale]

They said he died by suicide, but he'd never take his own life.

I started to get a bad feeling.

And then I saw those jerks who had broken into my room.

The men from the Control Bureau.

I could just tell that they were after me.

[groans]

And that I'd die if I got caught.

[panting]

[tense music]

Uh, what the…

QUANTUM & TIME'S CEO HAN TAE-SUL EXPECTED TO RETURN TO OFFICE SOON

What? There's no way that…

[Seo-ha] If Han Tae-sul has opened the suitcase,

then they're going to try to kill him there.

[sharp inhale]

[exhales]

[Jae-sun] So I decided to find a crowded place

where I could blend in and I sat down.

[coins clink]

What? What are you…

[Jae-sun] I was really resentful.

I kept thinking, "Why did I have to cross paths with her?

How could I let her ruin my life? God, I'm so screwed!"

But that's the moment I found it.

[paper rustles]

The lottery ticket, the one you filled in.

[groans]

[grunts]

[pensive music]

Ah…

I was terrified of the Control Bureau, so I was hesitant at first.

I didn't know what to do with it.

But then, I ran off to find a lotto machine.

I figured I had nothing to lose either way.

[upbeat music]

MU MART

[heavy breathing]

-[sighs] -[taps]

-[chuckles] -[cashier] Huh? Oh, I'm sorry.

-Our machine's down right now. -Huh?

Sh…

[clock ticking]

[rapid breathing]

Do you have lotto?

-[cashier] Yes. -Thank god!

[clock ticking]

-Here. -[coins clink]

[Jae-sun groans]

Crap. This is nuts. Shit.

-[ticking continues] -[grumbles]

[twinkly music]

Oh!

Here! There's one here!

[sighs]

[nervous breathing]

[cashier] Okay, a 1,000 won received.

[machine hums]

-Here you go. -[Jae-sun] Thank you.

[host] The funds raised through lottery sales

will go toward various scholarships, welfare, and public service projects

for low-income families and the underprivileged.

-I see the balls tumbling. -[balls rattle]

First lucky number. What will it be?

It's 21.

What's after 21? Let's find out the second number.

It's 16.

And the third lucky number is 27 and 37.

And now for the fifth number.

It's one.

-Oh! -[host] What will the sixth number be?

LOLLO THE 913TH DRAW

[suspenseful music]

[Jae-sun] Please let it be seven. Please let it be seven.

Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven…

[host] Oh, it's seven.

"Seven"?

[host] Now, we'll draw a bonus ball for our second prize.

-[ticket rustles] -[stifled cheering]

[upbeat music]

[Jae-sun] That's how I won the lottery.

I won 2.8 billion won.

I paid off my debt. Then bought a house and a car.

[women shrieking in distance]

[water splashes]

But the thing is, it didn't feel right.

[melancholic music]

[reporter] It's already been well over a week

since Quantum & Time CEO Han Tae-sul was shot at his conference.

Sources have revealed that the police have not yet been able

-to identify the suspect yet. -If the police didn't have the suspect

in custody, like they were saying in the news,

I thought you'd come back to find Tae-sul.

[Jae-sun] So I went to the hospital where he was supposedly staying.

I camped out there for about three days.

But no one came.

[Jae-sun sighs]

-[car door closes] -Whoa, that is a huge mansion.

[clicks tongue]

Oh, not at the hospital, not at home either.

[grumbles] Where are they?

I started waiting for you in front of his house.

I wouldn't leave except for when I had to go to the bathroom.

Hmm?

[sneaky music]

[light snicker]

What?

Ah, what are they doing, mate? Jeez.

[sneaky music continues]

-[beeps] -[gate unlocks]

[groans] Damn.

[vehicle approaching]

[clicks tongue, sighs]

You two seemed all lovey-dovey together, so initially, I wasn't going to help you.

But I figured I still owed you a debt.

That's why I followed you.

-[sighs] -[horn honks]

[thrilling music]

-[car door opens] -[Jae-sun] Hey!

My car can go 100km/h in 4.4 seconds.

[imitates engine roaring] We left them in the dust.

[laughs]

Oh, that's right. Here, been waiting to give you this.

[bag rustles, unzips]

[gun clanks]

[gun cocks]

Are you an NIS agent?

No.

The lottery, how did you know? I mean, what, is the lottery rigged?

You don't need to know.

Han Tae-sul, what happened to that guy?

You don't need to know.

[grumbles] Come on. Why do you keep saying that?

I need to know what's going on. I wanna be able to help you.

It's okay. I'll be fine.

[sighs]

[deep breath]

You see, I don't know anything about who you really are.

Your name is Gang Seo-hae, right?

[laughs] That's a pretty name.

Is it cool if I call you Seo-hae?

No.

[groans]

Then I'll just call you "Sis", okay?

-Why? -You seem like you're older than me.

I was born in '97.

I was 2012.

What?

Uh… Nothing, nothing. Don't call me anything.

-Why not? -Because you're never gonna see me again.

You're so serious.

Why do you act like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?

Because I don't wanna put anyone else in any danger.

They say only those who can accept help can help others.

-You've heard that, right? -No, I've never heard that.

[sighs] Come on, you can barely walk, all right?

[clicks tongue] I'm gonna help you.

-Listen. -Let's assume you're right about Tae-sul,

and that he's been captured, how will you save him by yourself?

[inhales]

I'll figure it out.

[huffs, inhales]

I'm heading in.

[sighs]

Hey, listen. You can keep refusing help, but I'm gonna help you.

Okay, Sis?

-Hey. -Oh, right. Here.

[gentle music]

I saw the scar on your wrist.

Use that to cover it and think of me when you wear it.

[paper rustles]

[Jae-sun] Thank you so much for saving my family.

I'll repay you until the day I die.

[sighs]

SEPTEMBER 9, WEDNESDAY

[soft music]

[Eun-hee] Save my number in there.

If anything happens, you call, okay? Got it?

Mm-hmm.

[line ringing]

-[line connects] -[Eun-hee] Hello?

Ma?

Huh? I'm sorry?

[Eun-hee] Go ahead.

[somber music]

[sighs]

-Hmm? -[phone beeps]

[phone clacks]

Was it a prank call?

They called the wrong number.

[knife clinks, slices]

Mom, why are you crying?

[gasps] Oh, what? Uh, did something get in there?

-Strange, what's wrong with me? -[door lock beeping]

-[door opens] -Oh, it's Pa!

[door closes]

-Hi, Pa!! -[sniffles]

Seo-hae. Hey, sweetie.

-[Eun-hee] You're getting in late. -Yeah.

I wanna show you something.

-[paper rustles] -[Seo-hae] I drew this.

Let me see. Wow, it's great!

-[Eun-hee] Impressive, right? -[Seo-hae] It looks awesome, doesn't it?

-Yeah. -Here's Mom, that's you, and this is me!

[Dong-gi] Wait, how come your mom looks as tall me? I'm much taller.

[young Seo-hae and Dong-gi chuckle]

[door opens]

[door closes, locks]

-You need to leave. -What?

Convert all your money to a foreign currency and leave.

[scoffs] Wait, what are you talking about?

On October 31st, a war will break out. Everyone dies.

[dramatic music]

I'm from the future.

There's a time machine. We call it the uploader.

Tae-sul invented… No, he will invent it.

People from the future have come to kill him.

A nuclear war will break out if he dies.

So I must stop them.

[Seo-hae] You saw what happened to me. That day, I almost disappeared.

That's an effect of time travel.

It means I don't have much time left here.

[exhales, scoffs]

Hey, come on, what the heck are you talking about?

Is this a… hidden camera prank show?

It's not a joke.

So that's how I won the lottery? Because you're from the future?

Mm-hmm.

[gasps]

For real? You… you're not lying?

[confused sigh]

Uh… Then what do I do?

I… I can't just pack up and leave the country.

Follow me.

-Be quiet. -Why did you bring such a small bag?

-Larger one's in the trunk. Be quiet, Mom! -Should've brought a bigger one with you.

-You should've listened to what I said. -Be quiet. Okay!

I heard you, Mom. Just be quiet.

[sighs] Oh, god.

Our valuables, you packed them all?

Where are you taking us?

Just wait, please. I'll tell you later, okay?

[exhales]

So, where to now?

[engine roars]

-[thumps on door] -[gun cocks]

[Seo-hae] Don't move.

-[gunshot] -I said don't move.

I'm faster than you. You know that.

Go get your boss.

Where's your boyfriend?

Keep talking if you wanna get shot.

[approaching footsteps]

[clapping]

Whoa!

[chuckles] Look who's here. Good to see you.

[Mr. Park] Oh, man.

[sharp inhale] Wow.

[clicks tongue]

Hold on, where… where's Mr. Han?

Did you break up? [laughs]

Oh, man. [clicks tongue]

Sit down.

[Mr. Park wheezes]

You know, we would have stopped looking for you two

had I known you'd come here on your own.

I could have just watched the store.

These guys searched everywhere to track you two down.

[Bingbing groans]

[key clinks]

Do me a favor, and I'll give you the key.

Okay.

Well, what is this key for?

Don't annoy me. I won't repeat myself.

[gun fires]

[exhales]

It's the one you're after, the key to the safe.

I'm not like Tae-sul. I don't lie.

And I thought you were close-minded, but you seem to know how to negotiate.

All right. Tell me what you want, then give me some time to think it over.

[gunshot]

[tense music]

All right, what do you want?

The first thing, help three people I know leave the country safely.

[inhales] Who are they?

[Seo-hae] You don't need to know.

The Control Bureau might come after them.

Help them leave the country safely and as soon as possible.

Can you do that?

Hmm… Okay.

What else?

Secondly…

[deep sigh]

I can't get a hold of Tae-sul.

[laughs] You hear that, guys?

Hey, why are you getting me involved, huh?

I guess he doesn't wanna talk to you.

He was caught.

[indistinct yells]

[man] Han Tae-sul! Han Tae-sul!

He's doing fine.

That's not Tae-sul.

[Seo-hae] Have you ever seen this jerk voluntarily bow to someone to thank them?

[engine revs]

[sighs]

-[Seo-hae] The one you see on TV is fake. -Thank you.

You're right.

Yeah, that jerk would never do that. [sighs]

Just help me save Tae-sul.

[dramatic music]

[digital trilling]

For real. It's all blocked. No phone or internet access.

[Bingbing] The weird thing is, it's blocked from the inside,

not from the outside.

Looks like he's really trapped.

Hmm.

What's up?

So no one's seen him leaving the house for days.

It's surrounded by security guards.

[Seon-jae] Inside the house, that guy, hey, what was his name?

E…

-Eddy Kim. -Yeah.

He's the only guy who is allowed in the house.

Oh, is that right? There's nothing we can do, then?

Let's give up.

But you promised.

[sighs]

It's too dangerous. Safety is my number one priority.

[exhales] All right.

God! You're so damn impatient.

-You're giving up. -[Mr. Park] I never said that.

I said my number one priority is safety.

[clicks tongue] Then how about this?

We'll go ahead and help him out a little, so he can escape from that house.

After that, you can go in and save him or not, okay? Whatever you want.

Sound like a plan to you?

-But how? -Hey, do you like it or not?

Okay.

[deep inhale] Fine. Hey, get that thing.

Get what thing?

The thing we can shoot with!

-For real? -That's dangerous.

If we end up using that, the higher-ups will flip out on us again.

She's giving us the key!

Even if we do all sorts of crazy things, nothing will actually change.

Go on.

We can upload things into his house from the future.

What kind of things?

Things he'd need to help him get out.

We can send him whatever it is to a safe PO box,

and store it until sometime in the future.

And we can just send it back to the present.

It goes to the right place?

Uh, yeah, if it's below 3.7 liters.

It's 100 percent accurate for anything up to the size of a small mailbox.

[Bingbing] The accuracy rate is inversely proportional

to the amount of data that's being sent.

That's why the accuracy rate drops when you're sending a person.

The rate of failure goes up if the object we're sending has a complicated structure.

Hey, that's enough. Well…

Hand it over, whatever object you wanna send.

[Mr. Park] Anything that can help him escape from the house.

If you don't have anything, we'll send things like guns or some grenades.

[gun clanks]

Whoa! What is this, huh?

An EMP, right?

[laughs]

Why do you even have this on you?

Don't send him this.

No. Wait a sec, do you have a picture of you two together?

Something memorable.

-Why? -That way, when we send this, he'll see it

and know that you're the one who sent it.

[exhales]

[sighs]

[exclaims]

-[Mr. Park] Guys, look. Hey, look at this. -[light chuckle]

[Mr. Park laughs]

How lovely.

Got a death wish?

[exhales]

Here, if you wanna tell him something, write it on the back.

[pen opens]

[pen scribbles]

I'M A MISOGAMIST TOO

[pen closes]

[deep inhale]

Oh, yes, I used to be that too. [chuckles]

[sighs]

[clicks]

-[exhales] -[mug clonks]

-No, this is mine! -Let go! This isn't yours.

[grunts, clicks tongue]

An object like this has to be enclosed.

Crash! When we hear the cup shatter, we'll know that it's arrived.

Drop this off at the post office.

Make sure it arrives at his house by 10:00 p.m.

-Got it. -[Mr. Park] Hurry up.

[Seon-jae] Okay.

It'll arrive at 22:00, so I'll start downloading.

If all goes well, then the mug will arrive at his house at exactly 22:00.

[Bingbing] The rest will arrive five seconds later.

-[digital trilling] -[Mr. Park] Hey.

[inhales] Any idea who's holding him captive there?

Sigma.

[keyboard clacks]

I see. I was just curious. Okay, let me ask you something else.

[mysterious music]

Why in the world are you doing this?

Why? You don't want them to build the uploader?

[Mr. Park] Is that it? [laughs]

Why are you making it so hard on yourself, huh?

If I were you, I'd just kill Tae-sul. Then it's game over, you know?

What?

Do you believe you can change things?

[laughs]

You know you can't change anything, right?

You can try all you want, but nothing will change.

[Bingbing] The package will arrive in 15 seconds.

[digital trilling]

Then why are you so eager to get your hands on the key?

The future can change.

[laughs]

Well, it will be interesting to see you try.

[scoffs] I can change it.

-Hmph. -[Bingbing] Downloading now.

Four, three, two, one.

[chimes]

Package made it.

[shatters]

[Tae-sul] This isn't mine.

I'M A MISOGAMIST TOO

What?

-[clicks] -[lights hum off]

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

Tae-sul! Tae-sul!

Tae-sul!

[sighs] Damn it!

NAME: JAE-SUN CHOI TO: JFK, NEW YORK

[phone vibrates]

NO CALLER ID

[Mr. Park] Tae-sul got out. He's headed to Hannam Shopping Center.

Hannam Center.

[tires squeak]

-Hey. -Hmm?

[purses lips] About Tae-sul…

God, this is gonna make me sound like a total loser.

Are you two together?

[scoffs] No, we're not.

Then go out with me.

Why should I?

[groans] Leave the country with me.

Why would you stay if there's gonna be a war?

Just ask that guy

-to get another ticket for you-- -No.

Why? Do you have family here?

[exhales] It's not why.

[Jae-sun] Then what's the reason?

What? Because of that jerk, Tae-sul?

[huffs]

So you like him, then?

[engine rumbles]

-[case unlocks] -[gun clanks]

Wow.

[squeaking]

-Is that a real rifle? -It shoots rubber bullets.

[Jae-sun] Can they kill you?

[magazine loads]

[gun cocks]

-Wanna try? -No, no, I'm good.

[Jae-sun] Thanks.

[exhales]

Hey, Sis!

I'll wait for you here.

[exhales]

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

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

[relieved sigh] [Tae-sul] How are you?

Are you all right? Are you safe? Did you make it out of there okay?

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

Really?

Hey, I gotta 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 the television.

The world's more complicated than you think.

[sneaky music]

-What's going on? -[Tae-sul] Seo-hae, listen to me.

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

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

I made it out of my house.

But now, I think I'm in a really tight spot.

-Do you think you can help me? -Where are you?

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

[gunshot]

Well, I'm a little busy right now.

[Tae-sul] What? What could you possibly be doing right now?

Just some stuff.

Wait, you're kidding me, right?

-Duck down. -[Tae-sul] What was that?

-I said duck down! -Why would I…

[gunshot]

[phone beeps]

[sighs]

-[gasps] -[line disconnected]

Hello? Hello? Seo-hae? Seo-hae?

[phone clanks]

[Tae-sul] Oh, shit.

[groans]

[gasps, exhales]

The hell…

[thrilling music]

[panting]

[gasps]

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.

What happened to you, huh?

[Tae-sul] What… what are you wearing?

[scoffs] Oh, this?

-Whatever. Come on, let's go. -Hey, wait.

Is it… Is this really you?

[sighs]

-What do you mean? -Well…

For the past few days, they kept telling me that you're fake.

So I'm not sure who I can really trust.

Are you all right?

[clears throat] It's just that…

I'm not sure what's fake and what's real right now.

Just like Tae-san, what if I…

[exhales]

I'm here. It's Seo-hae.

It's me. Can't you tell?

Hmm, hmm?

[light chuckle]

[Seo-hae] Let's go.

[gentle music]

[sighs]

[approaching footsteps]

[Jae-sun] Oh, there you are. Here, I got it.

[Jae-sun sighs]

Hop in. Oh, wait, wait! Hey, Sis, sit in the front.

[groans]

-You got a problem? -Fine, be my guest.

[sighs]

[engine roars]

[sighs]

Can you tell me where we're headed right now?

Asia Mart.

What? Why?

I'm giving him the key.

-You're what? -He helped me get you out.

We can't give that guy the key.

Got a better idea? Those people helped us to get you out back there.

I get that, but still… How could you do…

You can't give the key to those… those jerks.

Oh, god. Jeez.

It's cold, the heater.

Don't touch it. I'll do it.

[Jae-sun] The… the button…

-It's right here, the fan button. -[clicks]

[sighs]

[Tae-sul] What is this car?

Oh, this model's discontinued.

What, did you buy this thing used?

Ugh, seat's so uncomfortable.

Seriously. Why are you being so rude?

Hey, who is this guy?

Me? The person who saved you.

Save me? When?

If you got a problem, get out.

-Excuse me, how old are you? -Be quiet, both of you.

[exhales]

[chair creaks]

[mumbles]

So cold.

[quirky music]

[engine humming]

[tires screech]

[sighs]

[deep breath]

-Go on in. -Well…

[trunk opens]

-[case clonks] -[trunk closes]

[Seo-hae sighs]

Thank you. Get going.

Send my regards to your mom and sister.

No, let's go together. You can't go on living like this.

Get going. Your family is waiting.

-No, I can stay and help you. -[Seo-hae] I said go.

This isn't your fight. If you stay with me, you'll die.

-How do you know that? -You can't handle this, all right?

Just go.

WARNING TOP SECRET

[thump on door]

[door clanks]

[Mr. Park] Oh, my.

Come on in.

The key, hand it over.

[key clinks]

[in soft voice] You're sure this is okay?

[key clinks]

Look at this.

[laughs]

[in soft voice] I saw your brother.

What?

[Tae-san] Listen to me, 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.

You just want to save the world.

You don't care whether or not my brother dies. I'm the opposite.

If I can save my brother, I could care less what happens to the world.

[Seo-hae] I always thought it was strange.

Why would your brother put the blueprint in that safe,

and then risk losing the key?

If someone manages to open the safe and finds the blueprint of the uploader,

you'd become useless and you'd be in danger.

[Mr. Park exclaims, taps]

I'll tell you what's inside this safe.

As you know, Mr. Han here, at some point in the future,

will invent the uploader to save us all.

And the original blueprint… [laughs]

…is right in front of me.

[Mr. Park] All right?

[laughter]

[suspenseful music]

[key clinks]

If I were your brother,

I'd never keep something that important in there.

You wouldn't?

If the blueprint is missing,

then you're the only one who can build the uploader.

Then no one will dare to kill you.

[key rattling]

If I were him, I'd have it on me all the time,

even if that means I'd be on the run forever.

[safe unlocks]

[suspenseful music continues]

[squeaks]

[safe opens]

There's nothing inside of that safe.

-[safe squeaks open] -[dramatic music]

[Mr. Park gasps]

What the hell?

[envelope rustles]

TO TAE-SUL

[laughs]

"To Tae-sul."

[gasps]

[rustles]

[rips, rustles]

Tae-san.

[Tae-sul] It's his handwriting.

[groans]

[Tae-san] Tae-sul, if you're reading this letter,

it means you managed to open the safe.

I have the blueprint with me.

As long as I keep this with me, you will be safe.

No one will dare to hurt you.

I'm doing fine. I really am.

So don't worry about anything.

[children giggling]

And if you're still beating yourself up for what happened that day, please don't.

Siblings fight all the time, you know.

I'm really fine.

[giggling]

But, from time to time,

I really miss you.

-[water splashes] -I wanna sit down with you

and laugh and catch up with you.

Is the future truly unchangeable?

If the death of everyone around me is predetermined,

and… if you could die too,

then what should I do?

I've made up my mind.

I have to save you.

Tae-sul, I hope you make a decision that you won't regret later.

If you make good decisions, the outcome will be good.

[chuckles] Unlike you, I'm not that smart.

So that's all I can think of to say.

I'm sure you know what to do.

So live your life to the fullest. No regrets, okay?

And don't look for me.

One day, we will meet again.

I miss you, Tae-sul.

I love you.

[somber music]

[sniffles, sobs]

[rustles]

[ominous music]

I found out who Sigma is.

He's been with us since the very beginning.

[letter rustles]

Tae-san wasn't actually hiding.

Nor was he on the run.

Uh…

[Tae-sul] Those photos,

they weren't for me.

He was looking for Sigma.

Hey, stop talking nonsense, huh?

Guys.

[guns cock]

[gun slides]

Where's the blueprint?

[inhales]

-[letter rustles] -It's with my brother.

What? I kept my promise. You have the key.

[chuckles]

If you deal with me, you gotta be honest.

If you wanna trick me, you gotta be smarter.

You shits, how dare you try to cheat me?

-[sirens blaring in distance] -[gun cocks]

Hold on! What's that sound?

[descending footsteps]

[nervous breathing]

The Control Bureau is here!

I reported you.

[tense music]

[blaring continues]

[gun cocks]

Hurry up and lock the door! Go, you idiots!

[gun clanks]

What? You said to be smarter.

Turn around.

You too. Move it!

You're pretty smart after all.

[squeaks close]

[door opens]

Hands up!

-Hands up! -Hands up!

Take them in.

[groans]

[groans]

-[Young-bin] Search them. -[agent] Sir.

Where's the back door?

[scoffs]

[gun fires]

-Tell us now. -Out into your left.

-You little… -Do not follow us. Come on.

Oh, my, that was so cool.

I know.

Make sure that you never run into me again in this lifetime.

Yeah, sure. You take care of yourself.

[Mr. Park] I will, thanks. [scoffs]

[digital trilling]

Bingbing, is the generator on?

You stay here. Keep the doors locked, okay?

What about you, boss?

Those bastards will leave once I'm arrested.

[Mr. Park] Hey.

Do not turn off the downloader.

Understand?

Do you understand?

[sighs]

-Wait, boss! -[yells]

Lock the doors.

And don't you dare leave this room.

Understand?

Yeah.

[Mr. Park] Good.

[deep breath]

[digital trilling]

[sighs]

Oh, man.

[clicks tongue]

Going back in there.

[chuckles]

Don't come out.

Hey, you guys are being so loud!

[laughs]

Oh, man.

[somber music]

[chuckles]

Here, here, here! Over here. Here! Over here, guys!

You're causing a scene. The neighbors will complain.

[chuckles] I'm surrounded.

Okay, all right. Come on. Okay, okay.

[Mr. Park laughs]

Hands are in the air.

WEST PARKING GOVERNMENT AGENCY BUILDING 2

Gate C.

Jae-sun, you know which gate it is, right?

Uh-huh.

[Go-eun] I think it's that way.

[woman over PA] Gate C is now boarding.

What are you doing? Come on.

Let's go.

["True: Vertitas" by DOKO playing]

[squeaks]

I'm sorry, but I can't go. Take good care of Mom.

And don't forget this.

-But… -Jae-sun!

-[Mrs. Choi] Jae-sun. -[Go-eun] Come back!

[Mrs. Choi] Jae-sun!

[wine pouring]

["True: Vertitas" by DOKO continues playing]

Hmm…

-[Han-yong] You're up. -Mm-hmm. How are you?

Mm. Feeling great.

Uh, I made breakfast for us. So come and eat.

Okay.

[eerie music]

Tae-sul.

There's a sniper outside, so don't try anything funny. Sit down.

[ominous music]

You look like you're well.

[Tae-sul] I already cut that wire.

[deep inhale]

No phone and no security guards now.

[exhales]

There's something I need to ask you. That's why I'm here.

Sigma, who is he?

If you don't answer me,

I will take everything you have away from you and destroy it.

So you better answer my question and answer it right now.

Sigma, who is he?

You are removed from Quantum & Time's Board of Directors. You're fired.

Tae-sul, you can't decide that all on your own.

[beeps]

[Seo-jin] 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. -[Chairman Kim] 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.

-[audio player beeps] -[sighs]

Instigating unlawful confinement, violating the Medical Service Act,

as well as violating the Capital Markets Act.

[Tae-sul] I have three illegal violations on tape. How did I record them?

Well, the day I almost died in here, I lost my earpiece on the floor.

[groans]

[earpiece clinks]

[tense music]

Let me ask you again.

If you refuse to answer this time, Seo-jin will end up jail.

Sigma, who is he?

When and how did he approach you?

[sighs]

At the beginning.

Do you remember the first day we met?

What?

The investment briefing?

[Chairman Kim] Sigma came to see me a month before that.

He had a cure.

My wife was on the verge of death. He could save her.

I thought he was full of shit, at first.

But then…

I saw my wife wake up.

And he told me to invest in your company.

[exhales]

[audio player clacks]

And Tae-san? What happened to Tae-san?

Tae-san was getting in his way, and he wanted him…

-in a psychiatric ward. -Shit!

Where is this bastard now?

I don't know. I'm being honest. I had no choice.

How do you contact each other? I know you're in touch.

He gets in touch when he needs me.

[deep inhale]

Tae-sul.

I'm sorry.

[tense music]

[door closes]

[suspenseful music]

-[sighs] -[chair creaks]

[sobs]

[indistinct chatter]

Where is the chairman? He should be here.

I can't get a hold of him.

[sighs]

Let's get started since we're short on time.

We invited you here today

because we have a very important announcement to make.

[reporter] Is it regarding Mr. Han Tae-sul?

It was reported that something happened to him yesterday evening. Any comment?

We'll accept questions later. I'll read this first.

[Seung-bok] "Due to Mr. Han Tae-sul's absence,

the position of CEO has been left vacant for a while now,

which is weakening the company's competitive edge

and shareholders are growing anxious."

[keyboards clacking]

"Hence, we have decided to appoint

a new leader."

[approaching footsteps]

"The Board has come to the conclusion that I've been successfully carrying out

Mr. Han's duties in his place."

[camera shutters clicking]

[reporters clamor]

[tense music]

God.

You're CEO now?

That's cool. Congrats to you.

Tae-sul.

Just a minute. I also have an announcement to make.

[tense music continues]

This is being broadcast live, right?

Well, I have something I need to say.

[Tae-sul] Ah…

Tae-san.

Han Tae-san.

You're watching this, right?

I know we're gonna meet again.

So you be sure to stay safe until that day, okay?

[inhales]

You know, I miss you.

And to the other person who's also watching this.

Yeah, you. Sigma, you piece of shit.

Why don't you stop hiding in the dark like a coward?

It's time for you to show yourself, you loser.

Actually, no, forget it.

You stay exactly where you are.

I'll come find you.

[sinister music]

Now, it's getting interesting.

[laughs]

[menacing music]

-[oxygen hisses] -[machine beeping]

[phone vibrates]

Right.

I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

[Chairman Kim sighs]

My love…

I'm sorry.

I got us into this mess.

["Stay: tempus" by GSoul playing]

♪ She says just go ♪

♪ I turn around ♪

[Jae-sun] I don't understand why she has to save someone like you

and why she's willing to go through all this trouble for you.

[Tae-san] How do you know Tae-sul?

[Sigma] I need him to make something for me.

[Seo-hae] I said I'd help you find your brother, not Sigma.

I don't care if I die.

[Dong-hyeon] I have to tell Tae-sul

-not to find him. -[engine roars]

-[glass shatters] -[Seo-hae] You asked me…

[gun fires]

…what everything looked like in the future.

[Sigma] Take a good look. It'll all burn soon.
