[tense music playing]

[woman] Vehicle One, Joo Gyeong-nam, advances to the final round.

Participant Number Eight, Refugee 034, is currently in second.

Don't think, don't think, don't think.

[Sa-wol] Think, think, think.

[sighing] Let's go!

[intense music playing]

[5-8 sighing]

Idiot.

Get in! Quick!

[Hyeon Su] Thanks.

[guns firing]

[Ryu scoffing]

So now two people are tied for second here?

[Oh] Uh, I guess so.

FINISH LINE

[woman] Vehicle Three, Hyeon Su and Refugee 034,

have crossed the finish line.

[engine turns off]

[tense music playing]

CHEONMYEONG GROUP

[man] Good work.

Vehicle Three, Hyeon Su,

you came in second and will advance to the final round.

[Sa-wol] What about me?

I crossed the finish line with her.

[man] Participant Eight, you were disqualified.

[Sa-wol] What do you mean? We crossed together.

I brought this.

[man] You lost your car, and your package was damaged.

- Both grounds for disqualification. - [Sa-wol] What?

[Sa-wol exhaling]

[woman] Vehicle Three, Hyeon Su,

came in second and will advance to the final round.

Vehicle Three, Hyeon Su, came in second and will advance to the final round.

[door opening]

We have a problem with the final round.

Seems Participant Number Three is out due to an arm injury.

- Did you investigate? - Yes. Your guess was correct.

She broke her arm.

Okay. Who goes to the final?

The eliminated refugee or fourth place?

We'll set the atmosphere.

The deliverymen who observed the competition think

that we should advance the refugee boy.

Oh yeah?

Because he saved someone's life?

[tense music playing]

REFUGEE 034 MUSCLE MASS: MAX, BMI: MAX

[Ryu sighing]

"The refugee participant who saved a life and crossed the finish line with her."

It will give some hope to the refugees,

and then our plan will be easier.

[tense music swelling]

[music fades]

[emotional music playing]

[Sa-wol] The weather's just like me, lousy.

[Sa-wol breathing deeply, sighing]

[Sa-wol] Huh?

What is that?

Hey, losers!

[Sa-wol panting]

Who are you calling "losers" Not me, surely, right?

I advance to the final.

REFUGEE O34

[both gasping, laughing]

[Sa-wol laughing]

- Really? - For real?

Yeah, for real! Duh!

How did you do that? Someone end up dropping out?

Who? How did you know?

- So, yeah? - Did they?

[all cheering]

[man] Here are the numbers, genders, age groups, and average oxygen consumption

of the residents in each district.

I'll start with the General District first.

We have plenty of data like this at Cheonmyeong Group.

This isn't new.

Mr. Ryu didn't come all the way here for something so obvious.

[projector warbling]

So what exactly can we help with?

Well, I believe we've indicated that--

Mr. Oh.

[tense music playing]

You provided some basic data points.

In order to reassign residents, I'll be needing something more.

Something like

personal data on all residents.

I want to know physical fitness, IQ numbers.

I want medical records, I want past criminal offenses.

Is that too much for me to ask here?

Providing data of that sort could be considered a violation of human rights.

It requires proper authorization.

Well, I'm certain the defense minister has done just that.

Grade One data requires official approval.

Major, do you disagree with Cheonmyeong's relocation plan?

I'm a soldier above all.

I don't have opinions.

[cell phone chiming]

[phone line warbling]

[cell phone chiming]

[computer] Special District working hours are now over.

Controlling oxygen level.

I haven't ordered anything.

It's a special delivery.

Yes. I'll get it done as quickly as possible, sir.

[tense music playing]

[cell phone chiming]

You've mentioned a fair relocation, mind elaborating?

Well, we'll have a selection process for the new environment.

"Selection process?"

Sounds like controlling residents using relocation rights.

Controlling?

That's a fitting word.

Shouldn't people pay a price for a better life?

I think a bigger issue would be if everyone took what we've done for granted.

Don't you agree with me?

A selection cannot possibly reflect any level of fairness,

no matter the criteria you may employ.

That's why your help is greatly needed.

So we can do our best to be fair, all right, Major?

Let's have the next briefing at Cheonmyeong.

[music fades]

Ooh.

[5-8 chuckling]

Ryu spoke to the Intelligence Command major.

So the relocation plan's now in Cheonmyeong's control?

Well, the chairman's backing the government's relocation plan,

which includes the refugees.

This is pitting father against son, so to speak.

[tense music playing]

I don't trust Chairman Ryu either, to be honest.

Nine years ago he massacred all of those refugees.

So what if the man's sorry, it won't bring them back.

I'm not telling you to let it go.

I'm just saying the bigger enemy is his son, Ryu Seok.

Right now, he's the one holding the reins.

The dad's with the president,

the son's with the defense minister.

They'll choose what they feel suits their goals.

Did you look into what I asked you about?

There are no human experiment labs in the Special District.

There's only a hospital.

If there were, the cleaning vehicle would have gone there.

Why are they demanding people's personal information and bio data too?

They're trying to build Cheonmyeong's new world

with people with the most superior genes.

[tense music playing]

I'm stuck between Cheonmyeong and the government now.

If that's what's happening,

I think you should try to remain neutral in this.

[Seol-ah sighing]

[cell phone chiming]

[suspenseful music playing]

[man] Everyone's in position.

[Seol-ah] Start when I give the signal.

[man] Yes, ma'am.

[indistinct chatter]

[Seol-ah] Begin.

[ominous flourish playing]

[barber] All right. Looks good, huh?

[man 2] Confirmed.

[Seol-ah] Keep an eye on him from your positions.

[indistinct chatter]

- [woman] Come back again. - [man 3] See you next time!

[man] He's heading your way.

[Seol-ah] Lee, take position on the opposite side.

The rest, back him up.

[Lee] Yes, ma'am.

[Seol-ah] He's onto us. The western alley!

[upbeat music playing]

[music fades]

[Seol-ah] Lee, what's your current location?

[Lee] Heading to the end of the alley!

[Seol-ah] He went into the building.

Sweep the area.

[gun cocking]

[man 3] Drop your gun.

[tense music playing]

[Seol-ah grunting]

[man 3 grunting]

[man 3] Are you a soldier?

[Seol-ah] If you wanna be precise,

soldiers.

[Lee] Hands in the air.

[man 2] Drop your gun.

[Lee] Drop your gun and get on the ground.

[device clicking, whirring]

[grunting]

[dark music playing]

[5-8] I saw the man die.

A tiny device had exploded inside of his head.

[music fades]

[Seol-ah] Can this be fixed?

[music playing over radio]

So why do you want to become a deliveryman?

[Sa-wol] Well,

you know...

I can't stay here and keep wasting precious air and food.

Don't say that.

Feeding you really is no trouble at all.

Is it your friend,

the one in the necklace?

[somber music playing]

[Sa-wol] Mm-hmm.

If it's really what you want, I'll root for you.

You made it this far, go ahead and win it!

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

[kiosks beeping]

[computer chiming]

[Sa-wol] Huh?

[Seol-ah] Yoon Sa-wol, the dumbass, in the final round.

Guess I underestimated you.

[Sa-wol chuckling]

[Seol-ah chuckling]

[Sa-wol] What about those guys? You catch them?

[Seol-ah] Not yet.

Your memories?

- [Sa-wol] Not yet. - [PA chiming]

[woman] We are now at Special District, first floor.

[Seol-ah] Whether you win or lose, remember to stay safe.

[Sa-wol] Was that encouragement?

[Seol-ah] Of course.

[emotional music playing]

[doors hissing]

[computer] Today's Special District air quality.

Oxygen level is at five percent.

Fine dust level is average.

Humidity is at 52%.

[Sa-wol] Wow.

[computer] The temperature is...

[Sa-wol] This place is awesome.

[man] The refugee participant will stay in temporary lodging

until the competition.

There is one rule.

You may not leave your lodgings unless accompanied by your mentor.

[Sa-wol] Mentor?

What's a mentor?

The one behind you is your mentor.

[Sa-wol] Ohh.

So your name's Mentor?

[4-1 scoffing]

[4-1] Yeah. My name's Mentor.

REFUGEE 034 FINALIST BY DEFAULT

Well, it looks like they're all focused on the refugee boy, as expected.

[Ryu] Of course. Especially since we sent him to the finals.

What happens now is more important.

[Oh] Yes, sir.

This Deliveryman competition that you planned is,

I mean, it's nothing short of brilliant.

From this point on,

I'd like you to come up with these brilliant plans.

Yes, sir. I'll try my best.

[ominous music playing]

We got a tip that a generating unit is being sent to District A.

[tense funky beat playing]

Once we hear from 6-3, we'll head out.

What the...?

[tires screeching]

[music fades]

[man] Fricking crazy refugee bastard. I should run him over.

[tense funky beat playing]

Where are we moving it?

We're not moving it, we're destroying it.

[bombs beeping]

WAITING FOR SIGNAL

[cell phone chiming]

[music fades]

[breath shuddering]

Uh, um, sir.

District A operation test has a little setback.

What?

The generating unit was apparently blown up by somebody.

[ominous music playing]

Blown up?

Sir, I'm sorry, uh...

Our men are investigating.

[Ryu exhaling sharply]

Mr. Oh.

You imbecile!

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music playing]

[Sa-wol sighing]

[door chiming]

How are you feeling?

Who came up with all this?

A place where people live this nice and eat food this good every day.

Who designed this?

Not my idea.

Are they special here?

They were born here.

That makes no sense, though.

Why is being a deliveryman important to you?

Well--

If you win, there will be no more hiding for you.

No more worrying about getting food and air, right?

- Right. - And what of your friends?

My friends?

- Hey! - Let's go!

- [Dummy laughing] - We're future deliverymen!

- Look at the oxygen and masks! - [Useless] Good.

[4-1] They'll ask you the same questions.

"Who decided all this? If you're different than they are?"

[emotional music playing]

[Sa-wol sighing]

The finals are the only thing you should think about.

Where are you going?

What's my job here?

Deliveryman.

That's right, and I gotta do my job.

[door closing]

[music fades]

[eerie music playing]

[doors creaking]

I've heard you asked Intelligence Command for personal information and bio-data.

I have, yes.

Are you leaving out people who are inferior?

[Ryu] We can't accommodate everyone in the relocation plan.

We'll need to make the same choice that you made.

This choice you're referring to,

do you have any idea what kind of impact it has?

Those who came here were 1% of the population.

Ninety-nine percent were abandoned.

Yes, I'm aware.

However, the relocation plan is up to us.

The decision that pained you so much will be in my hands.

[man] No, the government will lead the relocation plan.

Every person with a pulse is included,

refugees too, no matter what.

No, Father, we can't have refugees. Impossible!

The oxygen need... there would be too much to produce.

Only more oxygen masks will need to be produced.

You can't be serious!

[footsteps approaching]

[tense music playing]

[computer beeping]

DANGER, OVERSUPPLY OF OXYGEN

[man groaning]

[man gasping, coughing]

[man exhaling]

Useless vermin.

[sinister music playing]

[man] You take after me way too much.

What do you expect? I am your son, you know?

And that there is the issue.

That I can see myself in you.

[Ryu] If you don't like that I take after you,

then I'll show you a different me.

[music fades]

[men grunting]

[4-1] This is your opponent tomorrow.

Joo Gyeong-nam is the strongest candidate we've seen so far.

He's got a great physique. Speed, strength, amazing technique too.

He's good all around.

Stronger than 5-8?

[4-1] No one's stronger than he is.

Why do you think he's a legend?

I might have a chance, then.

[men grunting on video]

Do you even know what your strength is?

What is it?

It's your blind confidence.

Is that a good thing?

[sighing] Why do I bother?

Just watch.

[Sa-wol breathing deeply, sighing]

[dramatic music playing]

They're sending five broadcast trucks to the Refugee District.

Cheonmyeong's guys are out patrolling. People are getting nervous.

They're gonna show the finals live?

JOO GYEONG-NAM VS REFUGEE 034

I think they're doing it because he's a refugee kid, you know?

Did they show it live when we won?

- Nope. - They didn't.

This all started after 5-7 died.

Once we're done with work today, let's visit each district to make sure.

- Okay. - Okay.

[music fades]

Are you gonna watch it in person?

After my deliveries.

[truck engine starting]

[whimsical music playing]

Guys, turn it a little to the left, okay?

[Dummy straining] Hey, is this way to the left?

[Dumb-dumb] No. Trust me, it's the other way, you idiot.

[Dummy] No, I'm asking if it's our left or if it's his left.

[Dumb-dumb] Uh, why don't we just ask him?

[Dummy] Oh, right.

[radio beeping]

[Dummy] Hey, Gramps

do you mean our left?

[Dumb-dumb] Hey, it's your left, right?

Guys, just turn to whichever side.

Just turn it until I say it's good, okay?

- Yeah? - [Dumb-dumb] Okay.

All right, this way.

[both straining]

[Dummy] Hey, is this right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! You got it, you got it!

Stop! We have a signal!

- [Useless] Gramps! Gramps! - [door closing]

[Useless panting]

[Useless] People are going wild out there.

[man] There will be a special live broadcast of the competition

as a refugee participant has made it to the final round.

[panting] They got it up on a huge screen out there.

There's presents and free stuff.

- Huh? Free stuff? - Free stuff?

[Dummy] Oh-ho-ho, Cheonmyeong's looking after the refugees too?

[Dumb-dumb] I want presents too!

[man] We'll be giving away compressed oxygen and food supplies

to people who watch the competition today.

There will be a special live broadcast of the competition

as a refugee participant has made it to the final round.

[dramatic music playing]

I don't wanna be anywhere where there's a really big crowd.

Let's watch it here, huh?

[all] Ugh!

[suspenseful music playing]

[woman] We are now at Core District, 5 km underground.

[dramatic music playing]

[Sa-wol] What is this place?

[4-1] The Air Road.

You don't need an oxygen mask in the Core District

because oxygen circulates throughout this place.

[mask whirring]

[heavenly music playing]

Where are we?

[Sa-wol sighing]

[breathing deeply, exhaling]

[Sa-wol] The air is completely different here.

[Sa-wol exhaling, breathing deeply]

It's not a vacation.

Stay focused.

[Sa-wol sighing]

[suspenseful music playing]

Sir, she's here.

[indistinct chatter]

[Ryu] Hello, ma'am.

The chairman isn't here.

That's right.

What brings you here?

The relocation plan presentation is now completed.

That plan's the responsibility of Cheonmyeong.

[president] I was certain we had already settled that.

[tense music playing]

You can't pull off this plan.

I am the president, you know?

And I can do whatever I want.

[suspenseful music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[3-3] Did you cross Hannam Bridge?

Crossing over now. Approaching the delivery center.

Just passed by two black SUVs. Suspicious.

- Why? - [3-3] They didn't have license plates.

Headed toward Kyobo Tower intersection.

No plates? Maybe they're the guys with the tattoos.

[1-3] What if they're going to kidnap more kids?

[5-8] I'll go check it out.

Is it you?
