[machine humming]

[loud whooshing and rattling]

- [energy crackling]

- [yelps]

The hell?

Go away. Go away!

Stop! [screams]

[yelling]

[panting]

Ohh

[Yoo yelping]

[mysterious music plays]

Ohh

[Yoo groans]

Uncle.

[Choi] Someone's after that machine.

[Baek-joong] Yes, I think you're right.

What's the possibility Min-ah

didn't turn into a chicken nugget?

But she did. I saw her.

They took Min-ah as well,

which means they knew

it wasn't just a chicken nugget.

And like us,

they can't report it to the authorities.

Which means they also have

a reason to keep this a secret.

But what could that be?

They've been searching for it like us,

hoping that it'd be true,

that for it to work, they'd need both.

So it's possible that they have both

of the machines with them right now.

That means Min-ah's a

- A test

- [gasping]

- [colleague yells] f*ck!

- [Choi yelps]

YOU'VE BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE GAME

[clears throat]

[shudders]

[sighs]

- Calm down, Mr. Choi.

- Huh

Pull yourself together! We have to focus.

How about we, uh

slap each other across the face one time?

- Huh?

- Okay? Here, Mr. Choi.

You can go first. Do it!

- [shrieks]

- [Choi groans]

Did they bring back sl*very while

I was out of the office or something?

A slap in the face for leaving work?

Ever heard of human rights?

[Choi yells]

I mean, what the f*ck happened?

I should have stayed at the sauna.

[both panting]

Uh, did you get yourself

- [groaning]

- No, ju just once. Please.

- I said once!

- [yelling]

- [phone rings]

- Mr. Choi. The phone! The phone!

- You got a phone call.

- Oh, my phone. Uh

- [ringing]

- Oh.

Hello? Yes?

Where? Pajeon?

- Pajeon!

- P Pajeon!

- [door opens]

- Oh!

[man] Why would you

Where have you where have you been?

[groaning]

[thrilling music playing]

[music fades]

[dog whimpers]

Finished.

You're better than your uncle. Do you know

what people call a child like you?

- Prodigy.

- That's right.

You got it right.

Three plus four equals seven.

- Good job.

- Thanks.

- Give me something more challenging.

- Okay.

- Can I please play outside while I wait?

- [Yoo] Sure.

You're in sixth grade.

Three plus four is the right answer.

Thank you!

[dog whimpers]

[door opens]

[door slams]

f*ck my life.

Honey, you don't have a job, so why are

you lying there on the floor in a suit?

'Cause it feels good. [chuckles]

[dog barking]

Have your older son drink

these before he gets worse.

And don't let that bum steal any of it.

He doesn't like anything bitter.

[computer game bleeping]

[mother] Drink it all up, okay?

[eerie music plays]

[music becomes dramatic]

Will you

uh go out with me?

[bird cawing]

[excited yelling and screaming]

I LOVE YOU, TAE-YOUNG

It wasn't a no.

She just wants to focus on school.

She said she'd think

about it and let me know.

Seo-gyeong. Wanna go out?

[groans]

[man] What brings you to my place so late?

[chuckles]

Tae-man, you'll be okay without me, right?

Seo-gyeong, what are you trying to say?

You know I really like smart guys,

and I've never met

anyone smarter than you.

So it's true I found you attractive.

But no matter how hard I try,

I don't think I can kiss you.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

[man] Your looks complete your style.

Never mind that fear of flying ♪

[man] Your hair completes your looks.

Keep on moving ♪

[man] To complete yourself as a man

Classic for men.

[sighs]

How long do you plan on living like this?

I'm living like this

because I have no plan.

Would you even call this living?

- [door opens]

- [sighs]

[coin scraping]

[door closes]

Miss, bust.

- Mmm miss.

- Mom.

This isn't called "miss or bust."

It's the lottery.

Appa.

What are you doing here? You're dead.

You can't be here. Go back.

Did you see that? Even my mom

treats me like a dead person.

[continues scratching]

Soon-sim. Is that you?

Yes. How long does it last,

when I'm back to my senses?

- Five to ten minutes.

- [Soon-sim] Right.

I don't think I'll be able

to come back again.

I suppose I should

organize your dad's stuff.

Will you help me?

- [coin clatters]

- [sighs]

What's there to organize?

b*stard left us nothing.

Why did he have so many damn clothes?

And they're all knockoffs.

Take care of him, please.

If he hadn't stolen

Tae-young's herbal medicine

Tae-young's the one who gave it to me.

And it was Uncle's fault!

What is this?

[eerie music plays]

Oh dear, was this in there?

What is it?

It's our family heirloom.

Don't you remember?

You know, when you were young,

your dad would sit you

and Tae-young down quite often

and tell you

the story passed down in the family.

[Tae-man] Ugh, that stupid story.

It's nonsense.

Where a monster goes in

and a human being comes out?

[scoffs] Bullshit.

This

This looks familiar.

Why don't I know about this?

Family heirloom?

Because you had stayed abroad

for your study.

I've actually seen this before, though.

It doesn't exist.

Do you actually believe this?

That story that was passed down.

Can you recall it?

Of course I can. This is real?

- [circus music]

- [shop owner] Hi, Professor Yoo.

Feel free to rummage.

[Yoo] I've never seen

a material like this.

Well, isn't it just aluminum?

Pretty close, yet it's not.

BAEKJUNG CHICKEN NUGGE

We're out of ingredients.

We're closed for the day.

- [people in queue groan]

- [woman] Aww.

You're out of ingredients this early?

Yes. We can run out very quickly.

Man, you should've said that earlier,

then. I've waited for two hours.

I've worked for nine hours.

Okay, what does that have

to do with me? Ma'am?

What do I have to do

with you waiting two hours? Sir?

- What the hell kind of place is this?

- Restaurant.

We're closed for today, right?

- I'm heading out.

- [woman] Where are you going?

You're not going there again, are you?

- I'll be back.

- [woman] Stop going there.

What if they get curious?

[sighs]

I'll return.

[woman groans]

NOBLEMAN'S CHICKEN NUGGE

PAJEON

You're here already? He's over there.

Uh Excuse me, sir?

Oh.

- I got fired before the owner died.

- What?

I heard you were looking for me

'cause a machine was misdelivered,

but it was probably

the owner who delivered that.

- Oh

- He was a pretty big guy.

- Angular face, and was always angry?

- [Choi] Right!

So, he was the boss, then?

A new chicken nugget place opened across

the street. Baekjung Chicken Nuggets.

He was always upset,

saying they were ruining his business.

But honestly, his nuggets were just bad.

Anyway, he fired me and delivered

the food himself to save money.

MORE THAN MACHINES

[Choi] The person

who delivered the machine is dead.

The person who studied the machine

is missing.

Then, what about Min-ah?

[Choi] Why haven't you gone home yet?

Mr. Choi.

I got a call from Professor Yoo In-won.

What are you saying?

- You got a call from a missing person?

- I don't know. He called the office.

I don't know what's happening, but

[somber music playing]

[sniffles]

if we go to this address tomorrow,

we can meet him.

MOUNT 21, CHANGCHEONG-RI

- [Choi] Is this the right place?

- Yes, according to the address.

There are no other houses around here.

[Choi] But why would he be

in a place like this?

I don't think this is a good idea.

- Mr. Ko, you should leave.

- Why?

Everyone involved with the machine's

either missing or dead.

We don't know what'll happen,

so you should go.

- That's why I can't go back.

- I can't put you in danger.

- No. I have a reason to be here.

- [gentle music plays]

[humming upbeat song]

[gentle music continues]

- [blows landing]

- [boy 1] Hey! Hey! Hey, get back here!

- [boy 2] You f*cking little b*tch.

- [boy 3] What are we doin', as*h*le?

- [victim whimpering]

- [boy 3] Hey, come on, guys. Punch him!

[humming cheerfully]

[boy 1] sh*t! Aah!

[gentle music continues]

Whoa!

- [Baek-joong] Huh.

- Huh?

- Who's this?

- Dunno.

Who are you?

Oh, I was just passing by.

I wanted to help you.

- Us?

- No, that guy.

- Oh, this guy.

- Oh.

Oh, so how come you decided

to help us fight then, huh?

I wasn't fighting.

I was putting Fucidin on his cuts.

- What? Whoa. No way. Wait, what?

- Dude, that's lit.

[boy 1] The f*ck

- How the f*ck did you do that?

- Whoa!

- Precisely.

- Precisely?

- Real fast.

- Real fast?

- Yeah.

- Ah

[boy 2] Is that even possible?

Have you ever watched

when they flip dough?

- When they pound mochi?

- Of course!

It's easy

if you think about how that works.

[boys] Ohhh!

- [laughing]

- That's so sick!

- Whew.

- Can you fight?

- I'm pretty bad.

- Then we should be able to kick your a*s.

- Right?

- [all] Mmm.

Maybe.

Eat sh*t, b*tch!

- [whimpers]

- [yells]

- Ugh, what the f*ck is this?

- You can eat it. It's gelato.

- Min-ah!

- Oh, it's gelato, is it?

- Are you his friend?

- Just an acquaintance.

Oh, an acquaintance.

I'm going to kick you in the ba*ls.

Try to block me.

[boys wail]

- Aah!

- [boys whining]

I told you to block me,

not look down there.

- You okay?

- Uh

- [Min-ah] Run!

- Oh

She is everything ♪

To me ♪

[song continues in Korean]

[Min-ah] I can't believe you went in there

to put Fucidin cream on him.

Weren't you afraid?

[Baek-joong] I couldn't just pass by

when I saw what was happening.

[Min-ah] Letting those guys bully you too

only encourages them.

Next time, get some help

and kick their asses.

[Baek-joong, chuckling] Okay, I will.

[Min-ah] Anyway. [chuckles]

I saved your a*s today.

Remember that.

[Baek-joong] I will! I definitely will.

[laughs] How could I forget this?

[Min-ah chuckles]

I know that I have to go in.

[Choi] Mr. Ko.

[Baek-joong] This time,

I will be the one saving you.

[song ends]

[foreboding music plays]

Welcome, Mr. Ko Baek-joong.

Hello, Professor.

You must be Mr. Choi, CEO.

That's right. Choi Sun-man.

[Yoo] Nice to meet you. Ah!

- And this is my nephew.

- Nephew?

Nice to meet you. I'm Yoo Tae-man.

[Tae-man] You're already gone

from this world, anyway.

So I'll turn you into gold bars.

Then I, the new Tae-young,

will put them to good use.

After all, everything serves a purpose.

- [whirs]

- [powering up]

- [thump]

- [power fading]

Why isn't it working?

[ominous music plays]

f*cking hell!

Gah!

God f*cking damn it!

[sighs]

It's always like this. Always!

Uncle.

[Yoo splutters]

[coughs and yelps]

- Uncle.

- [whimpering]

- What happened to you?

- [sighs]

Huh?

- Tae-man, is that you?

- Come on, dude!

Ohh

[sighs]

I have no energy.

You know how that machine works?

[groans] Huh?

[Baek-joong] Min-ah! Oh!

[Yoo] You were looking

for her, weren't you?

- How much do you know about all of this?

- Shall we sit down first?

I have a lot to tell you.

I thought it'd be rude

to come empty-handed,

so I brought you some fruit.

You didn't have to bring fruit. Thank you.

Uh

- I've never seen this fruit.

- Let me give you a taste.

- No!

- [fires]

- Aah! Mr. Choi.

- What are you doing? Calm down!

- Mr. Ko?

- [gasps]

- Go get Min-ah!

- [whimpers]

- Go! Quick!

- [squeals] Okay, okay, all right! Aah!

- [Choi] Don't move!

- Ah!

[dramatic music playing]

- [Yoo grunts]

- Be careful.

[Baek-joong whimpering]

Min-ah! [grunts]

- [Baek-joong gasping]

- [Choi] Min-ah!

- Min-ah!

- Min-ah!

- Please don't, Mr. Choi!

- Min-ah! Don't you move.

I think there's a misunderstanding.

Please calm down.

I

I I am the

the only one who can help you.

I won't hurt you, okay?

Because, as you said, you're the only one.

But I'm not sure about him.

He's trying to k*ll his own brother,

Yoo Tae-young,

and planning to k*ll you,

his uncle and mentor.

Are you aware of that?

What?

Do you have the younger son's

contact, by any chance?

I don't have anything like that.

He would just call up

once in a while and ask,

"Is Mom alive?"

and then hang up, that's it.

Was he questioned

about his uncle's case by the police?

- He was.

- Would it be a problem if I looked around?

Ugh, why are you doing this to me?

I'm not even related to these idiots.

MASTER TROT CONCER

Take your time,

and feel free to look around.

- Have you eaten?

- I have.

You can go upstairs.

I can't believe this! [squeals happily]

[mysterious music plays]

[door closes]

Hmm?

I'LL END YOU, YOO IN-WON

TAE-YOUNG, YOU'RE NEX

[ominous music plays]

k*ll YOO TAE-YOUNG

k*ll YOO IN-WON

I'll explain, okay?

Put that down first.

You're going to explain this to me?

I know the situation you're in right now,

so I understand

why you're acting this way.

Since you understand,

I'm sure you'll cooperate. Mr. Ko.

- Yes?

- Tie them up.

Yep.

[gasps] Stop right there.

Yoo Tae-man, stop!

- [Yoo] What are you doing?

- [gasps]

Stop it. Stop it now!

Stop, you b*stard! Stop, damn it!
