01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Show me the footage of my office.

From five minutes ago.

Did I miss something?

The corridor too, right?

I guess your subordinates

wash that for you too.

I was emptying your trash can

and thought I could wash this too.

I apologize.

I won't touch anything in this room again.

Now we know the school Kim Manok attended

and the last place he lived

-And his orphanage.

-Can you go there? The orphanage?

Yes.

JUNG SAEBYEOK

CALLS

Hello? Jung Saebyeok speaking.

Pardon?

IT'S ME, SONG

You're the only person who can make this

for me. You specialize in biopsy evidence.

My phone number that I never gave you,

and even my work experience.

What else do you know?

If you help me, I'll share every piece

of information I get with this.

It's ill*gal.

No, it's not.

It's just one of my company's bylaws.

We're not allowed to enter the 13th floor,

but that's just a line drawn by

my higher-ups to monopolize information.

You're not obliged to follow that.

To lift the fingerprints,

I need to use the equipment in here.

And that's ill*gal.

Using it for personal reasons.

But it's to catch the accomplice.

What if you find the m*rder*r,

but she shows up,

helps him flee, and disappears again?

What are you going to do then?

All the information about her is

on the 13th floor of my office building.

You just need to help me get in there.

-You told me to stay out of it.

-That didn't stop you yesterday.

What's your name?

I'm sorry.

I'm Kim Saeha.

Mr. Kim Saeha.

It doesn't seem

you're doing this out of curiosity.

Seeing how you're desperate

to enter the 13th floor,

I don't think it's because you're

pissed off by the line they drew.

You won't help me unless

you're convinced why I'm doing this?

Who said I'd help you?

You promised me to let me in on it.

If you betray me,

I'll go talk to your boss.

Sure.

How long will it take?

I checked the culprit's phone records.

KIM MANOK

BATHROOM, UNDER THE TRUCK

Bathroom?

It was the messages, right?

You realized she tore out the vent cover.

She informed the culprit

of the escape route.

BATHROOM

KIM MANOK

Did you get the fingerprint results?

The one you collected yesterday.

No matches on them.

I went through the national database.

I even checked the entry logs in Korea

in case she was a foreigner.

Still no matches.

BATHROOM, UNDER THE TRUCK

UNDER THE TRUCK

Why did she do that for him?

What's their relationship?

How are these so clear?

First, I scan it and create a 2D image.

SENDING IMAGE

How did you get the value

of the thickness?

That's always the hardest part.

If it's thick, it's stable,

but it's unrecognizable

because electrical currents

can't pass through it.

To make it stick to the skin, and

for electrical current to pass through it…

Wait. You know

about the thickness setting?

You've tried it yourself, haven't you?

You've tried forging a fingerprint before.

Detective.

I must've been out of my mind.

Let go of me.

You can k*ll me later.

-k*ll you for what?

-Please help me.

Please complete it.

Yes.

I have tried to make it myself.

But I failed every time,

so I couldn't try it at work.

If you make it for me

and I use it for some other purpose,

you can sh**t me. I don't care.

What would you say

if I asked why you're doing this?

You don't care why I'm doing this.

You want to know who she is too.

That's why you decided to work with me.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRINT?

SECRETARIA

DEPUTY DIRECTOR CHOI SEONUL

-The owner of the fingerprints?

-Yes.

So I'm to snitch on you to her

if something goes wrong?

Yes. You can check it out.

SECRETARIA

DEPUTY DIRECTOR CHOI SEONUL

Then my number will be left on her phone.

I don't want that.

SECRETARIA

DEPUTY DIRECTOR CHOI SEONUL

How long will it take to complete this?

About 15 minutes.

Lay out your hand.

I guess the AB is

only interested in the woman

and not the m*rder*r.

But we must catch the culprit to find her.

If she really is his accomplice.

You guys are the opposite of us.

We tried to get the accomplice

in order to get the culprit.

You tried to catch the one

who would disappear in a flash?

Your colleagues didn't believe you, right?

I should've listened to Captain

and not mentioned the woman in the report.

Then I wouldn't have found out.

Done.

Thank you.

Don't go to Strong Teeth Dentist anymore.

Special forces will be guarding it.

Those people are uncompromising.

And the person who just called was Eojin.

Okay.

What?

If you get to talk to him,

please don't mention this.

I won't talk to him.

Got off, then right.

I'll be back sometime after one.

Did you find out anything?

We couldn't find any connection

between the culprit and the woman.

Mm.

Saeha. You didn't expect us

to find anything anyway.

Isn't that why you wanted

to stay in the office?

Sure.

1. U.S. VAN ALLEN LABORATORY

EXTERNAL HARD DISK DRIVE

FOLDER 2

I was at my desk the whole time.

No outsiders entered the building.

It was Sunday,

so only a few people entered at all.

I don't know how it happened

About the child

He said there was no one else

to look after the child.

He practically begged and promised

to keep him only in the storage room.

So I let the kid in.

I'm really sorry.

I came out when my weekend shift ended,

and I saw a man on the ground

and a child next to him.

Ms. Choi.

It was one of our janitors.

His body was burned black,

and it also reeked.

After calling for emergency services

The child

I didn't know the kid,

but he seemed so shocked,

so I stayed with him in the lobby

until an ambulance came.

That's all I saw.

I didn't see any woman.

I didn't even know something like that

had happened in the laboratory building.

I don't know… how it happened.

We came after we got a report, and…

I arrived first and went to the lobby.

He seemed to have died on the spot.

His heart had already stopped,

and I could still smell the burnt flesh.

Sorry?

No. The female staff member

was the only woman I saw.

The lady who was with the child.

We didn't think it would be right

to have the child in the same ambulance

as his father's body,

so we were going to call

another ambulance.

But she said it would still be the same

as going with the dead body

and offered to take the child

to the hospital herself.

And after that…

Well, that's about it

since the child's father was dead.

No.

That's not all.

And the person

who just called was Eojin.

CALLS

INVESTIGATOR JUNG SAEBYEOK

I'm sorry for making you come here.

Whatever.

Let's go over there.

COMMUNITY CENTER

GERMANY, US, HONG KONG,

AUSTRALIA, RUSSIA, SPAIN

Is this it?

Yes.

Wait, the time differences are…

They're all around the same time.

It was Sunday, May 18, 1997 in Korea.

From 8:58 p.m. to 9:05 p.m.

Europe, Korea and even Australia?

She appeared in all those places

in ten minutes on the same day?

Not even Santa Claus

could travel that fast.

She probably k*lled someone

because she isn't Santa Claus.

Do you recognize her?

Sorry?

The person who disappeared

right before your eyes.

Is it her?

Or is it not?

No?

Are you asking me if the person

caught on camera in 1997

is the same person I saw a few days ago?

Is it her?

She looks like her.

I could say they're the same person.

She travels from continent to continent

in a few minutes.

And she hasn't aged at all

for over 20 years.

Her appearance…

By any chance, did she have a weapon

in her hand when she attacked you too?

What kind of weapon is that?

Burning a person in only a few seconds?

We must catch her

before she does something like that again.

Consider yourself lucky

because she didn't do that to you.

If she did, you wouldn't be here now.

You know about the weapon, don't you?

What is it made of?

I don't know either.

Though I heard

he seemed to have been electrocuted.

Something like this?

She used it on you too?

But how…

How am I still alive?

I don't know.

It happened so quickly.

I didn't even know I got this wound.

Maybe that's why.

Because it touched my arm only briefly?

But wasn't it hot?

Or didn't it feel weird

when it touched you?

No.

She only went to labs

and engineering colleges.

What did she do in those places?

She seemed to be operating some machines.

She set up the Grid.

That's when the project started. In 1997.

This woman started the Grid project?

"What did this person do here?"

That question was the beginning.

That's how they learned

that it was possible

to build a magnetic field shield.

If it weren't for her…

Then we wouldn't be here now.

The earth was covered

with the Grid in 2004.

The sunspots exploded

right after the Grid was complete.

They say if the solar wind

had come a year earlier,

two-thirds of mankind would have died.

The Grid is even in textbooks

as the greatest achievement of mankind.

But…

"But that was actually done by a m*rder*r

who burned a man to death right

before his child's eyes."

They can't put that in the textbooks.

I saw her with my own eyes.

But I feel like a fool to believe it.

Wait, she came to save mankind.

Why did she m*rder a person then?

It wasn't accidental.

She definitely planned it.

And why did she

show up again after 24 years

only to help

the convenience store m*rder*r?

I'm sorry,

but I can't stay out for a long time.

You can k*ll me later.

If you make it for me

and I use it for some other purpose,

you can sh**t me. I don't care.

Who's the man that was k*lled?

An employee.

A janitor

of the Institute of Radio Research.

She isn't just any woman.

She's our savior.

If we were directly exposed

to the solar wind,

we would have all

been destroyed by radiation.

Why don't you tell the bereaved

of the convenience store owner?

That she's our savior even though

she helped the person who k*lled your dad.

Why did he bring him to his workplace?

He looked like his son.

I guess there was no one else

to look after him.

Did the janitor try to stop her

from building the Grid?

If that was the case,

for the sake of humanity--

It's okay to k*ll a person?

Why are you so serious?

I was only guessing why.

Just don't say things

that would make me serious.

Bye.

He must be completely whipped by his wife.

Hello?

Why did she do that

when she had such abilities?

What do you mean?

Why did

she show up in front of me?

If she has the ability

to travel through time and space,

she could've just told the culprit,

"Detectives are coming, so run that way."

And then she could've left the place too.

Don't you think?

Then I wouldn't have learned of

her existence in the first place.

Wouldn't that have been easier for her?

Why did she attack me?

She can just disappear whenever she wants,

so she doesn't mind being seen?

Would that be it?

We have questions but no answers.

All right.

A Coast, clear.

RUSTIC HANDMADE KALGUKSU

B Coast, clear.

C Coast, clear.

Goodness. What a lucky day.

All the customers paid in cash,

and not by credit card.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION

JUNG SAEBYEOK

Beta appeared.

Beta appeared in F Coast.

What about Alpha?

We don't see Alpha.

Beta's alone. Do we go in?

Do we go in?

Wait until Alpha appears.

-Ma'am.

-Oh, no!

Ma'am.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION

JUNG SAEBYEOK

Give us a signal.

Do we go in?

I told you to wait.

Any signs of Alpha?

No, sir. We don't see her.

Major, but…

Major.

Go in.

I did hear some sounds.

But what if it's not him?

I don't want to cause you

any inconvenience.

He's moving towards C Coast.

He just passed

through the alley behind the motels.

He's running towards

the large grocery store straight ahead.

The subway station?

Keep a close distance.

-To the subway station.

-Yes, sir.

The train for Namyangsan

is now approaching.

The train is now approaching.

Please take a step backward.

He got on the northbound train.

Did you find him?

Do you see Beta? Did you lose him?

They hopped on the subway

and are on their way to the car

where Beta is in.

We need to get to the next station first

and join them.

Beta is right in front of you guys.

Do you see him?

Cameras.

C1. At eleven o'clock.

C2. At two o'clock.

C3. Walk two meters forward.

C4. Stay where you are.

Presumably in her late 20s or 30s.

Alpha's height is between

165 and 170 centimeters.

It's highly likely that she's armed.

The next station is Gudong.

The doors are on your right.

Beta is right in front of you guys.

Do you see him?

I don't see him yet…

C1.

C1. What's wrong?

The next station

is Gudong. The doors are on your right.

He's still on the train.

Get him before the next stop!

Open this.

Open it!

Hey!

I'll k*ll you when I get you.

I swear I'll k*ll you!

Open it!

Open it right now!

Open it!

Open this! Open it right now!

Hey!

There's a person locked up in here!

Help!

Help!
