01x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

The target's dead.

We have an incident in District 5-7.

District...

f*ck.

Are you the legendary 5-8?

I'm Sa-wol. Yoon Sa-wol.

- 4-1.
- Go ahead.

- Got a situation. Move it.
- Got it.

Sergeant Lee.

Let's get started.

Come in.

LIVING ROOM LIGHTS

Looks like it's related to the kidnappings
in the General Districts.

Be thorough as you investigate.

Provide the report when you're done.

We'll investigate.
I assure you that we'll be thorough.

But the room, you're aware that...

I'm aware of the consequences.

Please don't say that.

We're all on your side here, Major.

Unni!

He opened his eyes!

Unni, the refugee boy is awake!

Tell me what your name is.

Sa-wol.

Yoon Sa-wol.

How do you feel? How's your head?

Yoon Sa-wol!

Where am I?

Seul-ah. Where's Seul-ah?

You can't move around yet.

Why are you here?

Let go. I have to go see Seul-ah.

Let go! Let me go!

The girl is dead.

That's not true.

You can't do anything over there anyway.

Don't lie to me.

I'll go see for myself.

Let go.

Let go of me!

I think the b*llet was stopped
by his skull.

- If it really is what it appears to be...
- That's enough for today.

Let's keep this between us for now.

Okay.

You want me to have a look at that?

No, I'm fine.

It's not just a rumor.

MS. JUNG SEUL-AH'S CREMATION IS COMPLETE

Didn't I tell you that this will break
if you stepped on it too hard?

Last time I fixed it real good,
I made it sturdy,

but you always bring it back in here.

You mess around with it.

Ugh, Gramps...

You know I'm not the only person
using this groundwater pump.

Everyone uses it,
different strengths and stuff.

That's why it keeps getting broken.
You know it's true.

You might be right.

Okay, so how's the water?

Is the flow strong?

It's not so great these days.
The water just dribbles out.

We, uh, gotta find a new place real soon.

Well, they're pretty good
at finding groundwater.

Take them and look for it together.

Everything with Sa-wol
must have been difficult.

It was a relief
knowing you were there for him,

and I'm so glad
all of his friends were here too.

So what's wrong?
Did something happen to him?

SPECIAL DISTRICT

We are now at
the Government Building, Special District.

We ask that the Special District workers
abide strictly by the working hours

set by the government in order to prevent
an oversupply of oxygen.

I'm glad we're meeting so often now.

I'm not sure glad is the feeling.

Right this way.

Should the victim's family
be allowed to investigate?

How did you know that?

Family pictures.

You were beside the victim.

And now I'm seeing you.

We're taking your statement
about the incident at District 5-7.

Deliveryman 5-8,
you were the first person to report it,

that's why we brought you
to the meeting room

instead of the investigation room.

Let's get started.

You've heard about the kidnappings
in the General Districts?

Yes.

What they all have in common

is that the security cameras
in the district freeze up,

and the memory cards in the houses
recording entry and exit disappear.

However, what's different
about this instance is the fact that...

There was a m*rder.

Right.

It's actually the only m*rder,

and there's a witness
who had called in the case.

If all of the victims open their doors
without any suspicion,

then we can narrow down the person
on the other side of the door

to their family, soldiers, or possibly...

You brought me in as a witness,
and now I'm a suspect?

Every deliverman's work
is recorded by the minute.

That provides a solid alibi.

I'm just leaving the possibility open.

It's not unreasonable to think

that you could have allowed
a level of access.

You may have opened the door.

You believe I helped the murderers
and then decided to report it all later?

Then walk me through everything
you happened to see as the first reporter.

I heard a g*nsh*t...

...and when I got inside, it was over.

SIMULATION COMPLETE
FIVE DECEASED

How many murders were there?

Did no one ever count the bodies?

The only bodies remaining
were the victim's bodies.

Do you remember what they looked like?
Anything to help us?

I'm not sure. It was an awful scene.

Why did you leave the scene
before the military arrived?

You know a deliveryman and his schedule.

Timeliness is everything to us.

Do I look like a joke to you?

I think you're the one
who thinks I'm a joke.

I know the simulation shows you the
movements of the culprits who were there.

I think there's more you wanna know here.

The urgent delivery that gave me
no choice but to leave the scene.

I'd be curious
about where that delivery was headed.

I guess that's enough for now.

I'm behind on my work.

FIVE DECEASED

The primary suppression is over.

Enter the building and eliminate
all remaining refugee rioters.

CHEONMYEONG MUST BE BROUGHT DOWN

Jung Seol-ah, get it together.

I'm sorry, sir.

Please help me.

Yoon Sa-wol.

You don't remember anything?

I've got memory flashes,

but my head hurts too much.

Whenever the pain goes away,
I can't remember a thing.

Sorry.

I survived alone.

I should have protected her.

Don't say that.

I'm so glad you survived.

I mean it.

Seul-ah was the reason
you couldn't leave here.

You had been stuck at home
going stir-crazy.

Go, be with your friends.

You were like family, so I stayed.

And it wasn't that I was going crazy here,

it was that I felt bad
when I thought about the two of you.

This is...

Just please stay alive.

I'll come by once in a while.

Thanks for everything.

I wanna thank you

for saving me and raising me...

and the scoldings too.

Thank you so much for everything.

Air purification in progress.
Pollution level three.

Should I do a search...

or just wait?

God, I'm exhausted.

Me too. Ugh!

Didn't find him, or what?

No, man, he was nowhere to be found.

God, that fool's gotta be alive, right?

His sister came here.

She wouldn't have done that
if he were dead.

That idiot! I...

Whenever I do end up finding him,
I'm gonna beat him half to death.

You think you could beat Sa-wol?
Really?

What? Why not? You don't think we could?

Grandpa.

Sa-wol must feel so guilty
he probably wishes he was dead.

Probably, yeah.

You're playing games now, or what?

Just beat me up.

What?

Or k*ll me if you want.

What the hell? Are you insane?

Get him!

See? I told you.

He must've wanted someone
to be beat him half to death.

Oh my God, those dirty b*stards.

They're gonna k*ll him!

Grab anything you can find, all right?

You're gonna suffocate
out here anyway, so why don't I help?

Stop it, you jerks!

So the whole g*ng's gone crazy.

- Um...
- sh**t.

Fine, tonight you're all gonna die!

Guys, stay back!

- Uh oh.
- Just stay there!

Sa-wol!

We are recruiting
construction workers.

After the contract is over, you will be
given a year's worth of oxygen and food.

We are recruiting construction workers.

After the contract is over, you will be
given a year's worth of oxygen and food.

Hundreds of refugees
have gone into District A recently.

They're desperate
to finish construction.

Who do you think will be in charge
of the relocation plan?

The government? Or Cheonmyeong?

If the construction is completed
like this, wouldn't it be Cheonmyeong?

Any hope of refugees living
in General District's will disappear.

When you go to District A,
delay their work as much as you can.

You have a knack for nonchalantly
ordering people to do difficult things.

We are recruiting
construction workers.

After the contract is over, you will be
given a year's worth of oxygen and food.

Don't you think the sun's gotten
a bit brighter?

And my future has gotten darker
considering I have to get on that bus.

No, it's getting brighter.

I was gonna beat him up.

What an idiot.

It's been two whole days.

Maybe he's co... coma, uh...

What's the, uh...

What's the word, "comatose"?

I... I think he is.

Hey,

would it make me a piece of total garbage
if I said I was hungry?

You've always been pieces of garbage,
so just go make some food.

Okay. Well, you gotta eat.

You know, I got into my first fight ever
because of you.

And now I'm 0 and 1.

He's still out?

You know, actually it's better
because he's not awake and suffering

Sleep restores your body,
your heart, and your mind.

You little sh*t! I was gonna help you live
like a human being.

Wake the hell up.

Mr. Ryu Seok, CEO of Cheonmyeong Group.

I can't reach you for days,
and you call yourself my cousin?

How do you think
that make me look to Mr. Ryu?

The people we kidnapped...

where are they being sent?

There were talks of human experiments
and other horrible things.

You moron. Stop with all your nonsense!

I can't do it.

Can't be the key

and a deliveryman.

They're both too much.

5-7,

what is the problem?

Is it really so hard to be the key
to the General Districts?

You think we're taking these people away
and hurting them?

I... I heard it very clearly.

They're k*lling people,

doing experiments.

You must not understand
what it is I'm doing.

The goal here is not to k*ll anybody,
it is to save them.

That's why I chose a trustworthy man
such as yourself.

Do you understand now?

Very well.

Just one last time.

Play the key for me one last time, okay?

And I'll let you live here
in the Core District

for the rest of your life.

What?

You're being offered everything.

So, say, "thank you."

I'll take care of you Mr. 5-7.

In return...

you'll put your life on the line.

Just remember
what's in the back of your head.

It's concerning how many
refugee children are disappearing.

I got call about another one yesterday.

Where?

It was in Songpa. A boy in his late teens.

Witnesses?

Said there were a bunch of men headed
to Gangnam now.

Two are now in Seocho, and one in Yeouido.

Scope's been getting narrower.

No plate on the vehicle.
Same as last time.

A Gangnam vehicle missing plates, huh?

Just need one of those guys.

It's a GPS tracker.

We'll owe you one.

I promise we'll come save you.

Did they fall for it?

Location confirmed.

We make our move tonight.

Exit secured.

Outside stairway taken care of.

Center stairway is open too.

Entering the hallway.

What about 5-7?

He's gone to work.

What the?

What's going on here?

Those psychos.

How could they do this to children?

Oh man.

Sa-wol.

Uh, whenever people die...

They become stars in the sky?

Don't you give me that bullshit.

- Okay.
- No...

I'd rather they did become stars.

Sa-wol!

Sa-wol!

You're up! Oh my God!

No!

Hey, just hold on!

Are you kidding me?

Oh my God.
My pants... my pants are falling!

What are we gonna do?

- Useless!
- Useless!

I can't believe you lost hold of him!

I'm sorry!

That looks like fun,
as long as you don't die.

CHEONMYEONG GROUP

What are you thinking
so intently about?

The president came by here.

A disturbance in District A
and a m*rder in the General Districts.

What's going on up there?

The president's mostly
just a bunch of talk.

She's meddling where she needs not be.

Are you sure you're not crossing the line?

That's why I'm giving you a report.

I don't need it.

I've heard all that I need to.

You would take
the word of the president over mine?

Listen, Son.

Yes, Father.

Ever since I came here,
I have not trusted anyone.

Especially you.

But why would you not trust me?

I've built this place and developed
the Air Cores to save more people,

even if it is just one.

I see now there's too much
that I have missed

while working on those
for the last few decades.

You envisioned the future,
and you were very accurate.

All the progress we have here
is because of the risks that you made.

Tell me what you see
whenever you look up at that.

Stupid people living
in a world you created.

However, they still take for granted
everything that you have provided.

Cheonmyeong wasn't mine yet you said.

I admit that,

but one day soon you will credit me.

I do not know
how big the sorrow is inside your heart.

I would guess that it's quite big.

Although, as each day goes by,

it will get smaller.

Just a little bit,
and the next day a little smaller,

and a little smaller after that.

And that's the way it will go.

The smaller the sorrow will become,
each day a bit smaller.

And then it will become a longing...

for people who are...

are gone.

That's how it works.

Our sorrow becomes our longing.

I'm sad and then angry...

but then I start to miss her.

I'm scared that...

that I'm gonna forget all these feelings.

Oh, my crazy Sa-wol.

You really are growing up, kid.

Son.

I do not trust anyone,
especially since coming down here.

The Earth went to hell decades ago,

and the people here
are starting to lose their minds.

You especially.

You don't know I'm dying.

Of course I'm losing my mind.

EXIT FIVE
APGUJEONG

APGUJEONG

Okay. So far, all good.

Let's see here. Aha.

They keep getting better
and then worse, but, uh...

they may just need more time here.

Did you take a look at this too?

From District A.

GENERAL DISTRICT 1-1

What? You got something to say?

You have Yoon Sa-wol, don't you?

Sa-wol?

A b*llet bounced off his head
like it was nothing.

It bounced off, you sure?

His recovery speed's incredible.

Did you know anything about this,

that he was a mutant?

There was an oxyanium mine
his father worked at.

I know that.

Plenty of radioactive material there.

Those miners' children.

Almost 100 refugee kids
have disappeared so far.

And the kidnappings are now happening
in the General Districts too.

They're all adolescents

around Yoon Sa-wol's age.

So is it really important
that he's a mutant, then?

He's a mess in body, heart, and mind.

Just please leave him here, for now.

DISTRICT 5-7 m*rder CASE

You brought me in as a witness,
and now I'm a suspect?

You believe I helped the murderers
and then decided to report it all later?

ACCESS DENIED

Sergeant Lee.

The minister's office has ordered
that crimes in the General District

won't be under purview
of the Intelligence Command.

- Because of me?
- Yes.

And the official reply has referenced
the relationship you had with the victim.

But I wouldn't worry about this.
We've bought ourselves plenty of time.

What are you saying?

We have all the data we could access.

We made several back-up disks
with everything.

I've got the data on the m*rder.

I've got data for the ten kidnappings
in the General Districts.

And I've backed up
all deliveryman route information.

Thank you, everyone.

Just give us a long vacation
when all of this is over.

How about that, Major?

- Vacation?
- That would be great.

5-7
DELIVERYMAN, CHEONMYEONG GROUP

5-7.

DELIVERY STATION

[objects clattering

He didn't show up
at the meeting place?

No, he did not.

CONTROLLER
5-7

Nothing else to be done.

Uh, sir, I'll knock some sense
into him however I can.

Give him one more chance, please.

Mr. Oh.

Do you know why I do this myself?

Well, I know that it's significant.

Yes.

If I were actually
to make someone else do this,

they may get the wrong idea
that this will never happen to them.

You're right. I'm sorry.

The kidnappings
in the General Districts,

you're the key.

Yes.

Who are those tattooed men?

Cheonmyeong's?

I'm not sure.

I'm sorry.

I'm the reason
they were dragged off and k*lled.

What'd you say? Dragged off where?

Uh, I don't know.

I... I'm not sure.

It should be me.
I'm the one who should die. I'm the one.

Tell me. What did you hear?

Where were they all taken?

The... the... the human experiments...

What?

DECEASED

It's too bad.

No, sir.

He was always a mess,
a real family embarrassment.

So

the dead target was a younger sister
of one of our majors.

Yes.

I'm told their father was a manager
of an oxyanium mine.

Is the major one of our targets too?

No, sir.

She was born
before he was stationed at the mine.

I was planning to inform you, sir.

OH JI-HWAN

Mr. Oh,

your work here lately has gotten messy.

Sir, I'm sorry!

I'll never again make that mistake.

Sir...

I... I'm sorry.

STOP

Mr. Oh.

Yes?

Think about how you feel right now
and always remember it.

I will never forget.

Oh, and for the key,

a new deliveryman must be found.

I will go find one.

No, no.

Mistakes must not be repeated.

We will put on a special event

to distract everyone from our larger plan.

An event, sir? That's perfect.

It's been a while since we put on a show.

- What's his ranking?
- Thirteen, man.

Dude must be jacked.
He's taking some big hits.

Oh, you hear the 5-7 announcement?

What did it say?

Overworking. You believe that?

I've heard of getting k*lled by hunters,
but overworking? Bullshit.

So when do they choose someone else?

That'll take a little while.

Apparently, this time
they're doing it right.

Doing it right?

Whoa!

Nice one!

Wow. 4-1 really has one nasty kick.

5-8!

5-8, get down here!

Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

What's this?

Here.

You finally have a chance
to make your dream come true.

4-1.

I'm here, go ahead.

- We're assembling.
- Okay.

Put out the cigarette.

Well, what's that?

He's making quite the entrance.
