Episode 4
♫ Your fear of being alone ♫

♫ It'll make you stronger. ♫

♫ Alone. ♫

♫ I can't feel anything. ♫

♫ I can't hear anything. ♫

Who are you?

Where is this place?

I don't know.

I didn't do it.

I don't know anything.

♫ Whatever. ♫

Please chase away that devil with this holy water.

With this holy water, please chase away the devil.

Please condemn this wicked serpent to hell.

♫ I remember the piece of memory ♫

Please chase this old dragon to the depths of the inferno.

- Please don't!
- Please bind this foolish monster in chains,

and send him to hell.

-Please don't do this.
-Please protect us from the trickeries

and the schemes of Satan and his minions.

I plead with the Heavenly Father. Please bind him!

I told you to stop.

Condemn to Hades

-all the evil spirits and Satan wandering in the earth!
-Stop!

While you knew nothing about me, you made me to be a monster.

I was a human until you called me a monster.

It's you who made me a monster.

Disappear into hell, you devil.

Why should I?

You...

are a monster full of evil spirits!

Why am I?

Uicheon Convent

This monster,

please deliver him to hell!

Don't do that!

Step on it!

Sister, are you alright?

Let's go.

It wasn't me. I didn't do that.

Are we going inside?

Crap, we'd all die from asphyxiation even before we find him.

♫ Your eyes, keep your heart. ♫

♫ The hidden shadow ♫

♫ The light shining through the night ♫

♫ in this life ♫

Ji Oh, let's go out and play.

♫ Sunk into the sadness ♫

♫ that descends endlessly. ♫

♫ With both my eyes closed ♫

Hey! Come to your senses! You can't be like this.
♫ so that I don't disappear. ♫

I remember now.
♫ Hold my hand ♫

It was me. I was here.
♫ so that I can't be afraid. ♫

It was me who set that fire.

What about the reason why you were brought to my house?

And where my mom and dad took you?

Don't you remember?

Let's go.

♫ Along with my fears ♫

♫ that are collapsing ♫

♫ hold on to your memories. ♫

Sister! Sister Stella!

♫ Stand by me where the world ends. ♫

♫ Hold my hand. ♫

Get in quickly.

Sister!

Sister, wait just a moment.

Where's the guy who was just here?

Is he gone already?

His car isn't here.

I told you, we shouldn't have gone in.

If we'd just waited out here, we would've caught him.

Her cell phone?

I don't get her location.

I think she turned it off.

Or, it got turned off.

The thing you did. Since when?

Sizzling.

There are times I want to die.

When the going gets tough, and I hurt too much, I think I'd be better off dead.

When it's all over, I wonder how easy and happy I'd feel.

Whenever I think that, my body suddenly heats up.

I don't know how that works.

My whole body just becomes that way.

And I see blue light before my eyes.

It's as if my body fights to stay alive when I want to die.

The times you want to die are,

in fact, the times you want to live the most.

I didn't think that way.

That's not how I saw you.

When you fell off from the rooftop,

and when you ran from the hospital,

and even moments ago, what I saw was a man determined to live.

Anyway, you've survived even when that meant burning up of your body.

Anyhow, the things I need you to recall

aren't whether you were there, or that the curtains were on fire.

I need to know what happened before you came to the orphanage.

You said you'd dig through my brain. I don't want to do that for you anymore.

I don't want to know what else is in my head.

I told you not to make the same mistake, didn't I?

How many times have you lost him when he's right under your nose?

We traced the license plate on the car in the church. It belonged to the female detective.

It's clear that she's on the move with Ji Oh.

Her cell phone is turned off by some power disruption. So we can't track her location.

Once her phone is on again, I'll get on her tail.

I placed my people at the police station and the female detective's home, just in case.

She'll pop up soon.

-Have you eaten?
-Not yet.

Make sure you eat well.

- So you don't go feeling sluggish.
- Okay, sir.

You know I don't trust people, right?

- I know.
- Yet I trust you.

So repay my trust.

And I trust you, too, Dr. Ryu.

All of you, pull yourselves together.

Please, okay?

Are you okay?

I am.

I am sorry

about having fixed your arm for nothing, so you can't even leave this place.

It's better than not having one.

It's just an arm.

That goes same for you and me.

Doctor,

once we bring Ji Oh in here,

can you really put his arm on me?

Someone gave you that idea, huh?

- That he would cut Ji Oh's arm and attach it to you?
- Is that possible?

Science is a mere shadow of God. Only faith can bring forth results.

Do I just need to have faith?

If I do my job well, I, too, can have a normal arm.

Believing that is all it takes?

What else can you do besides believing?

-If you can, keep your faith, too.
- You mean it isn't possible?

It's possible in theory. But the world doesn't operate on theories.

It operates on variables.

Humans are slaves of variables in the end. Both you and I.

Everyone here is all the same.

No one gives me straight answers.

Yeah.

It's a tough place for a former soldier to endure.

I know how you feel.

But make sure to get Ji Oh back in here safely.

I'd like it if you bring him in without hurting him.

My recent dreams at night

are all about seeing Ji Oh again.

Did you open it?

Yeah, tell me.

It's 01 MA 5273.

01, MA, 5273.

Black, mid-sized sedan
May 20, 2019
Geumil Scrap Yard

- Is this the correct number?
- Get in quickly.

01 MA 5273.

- It says it was scrapped.
- Huh?

A car rental service owned it, and it was taken to the scrap yard last year.

Clearly, it's an unregistered vehicle. What about it?

- Nothing.
- What do you mean, "Nothing"?

It caught my attention because the driver was reckless.

You left work early saying you weren't well. What were you doing driving around?

Alright, hanging up now.

Hey, you're not going around doing stuff you shouldn't, are you?

- I'm hurting. Hanging up now.
- Hey, Gu Reum.

Say, a human capable of shooting electricity like an eel, or a human that stings you with venom just like a jellyfish,

would that be a human? In reality, Dr. Ryu was actually making such genetic abnormalities.

Professor, it's me. I have something to tell you.

Someone followed us.

Now?

Not now. Earlier.

I noticed a car in front of the church. It wasn't there when we went in.

I just found out it's an unregistered vehicle.

- So who was it?
- I told you, it isn't registered.

No, whoever it was, they didn't follow us.

- Rather, they tracked us down.
- Did you tell someone where you were going?

No, I told no one.

-Then how did they know?
-There are many ways.

They could've installed a tracking device in my car or my phone.

They could've tracked me real-time via a satellite.

But what matters isn't how they found us.

-It's who they are after.
-Me.

Yeah, it's you.

Someone knows that we are together.

They're using me to get to you since they can't find you.

What's so special about you that they even go after a police officer?

-What are you, really?
-Didn't you say you weren't interested?

You could be more than a murder witness.

Did I witness a murder?

Never mind. Let's go.

Where?

To find out who you are.

Awooa Cosmetic Surgery Center

It's okay. I called him.

Hello, professor.

I was working on something inside. Is he that friend?

Well, he's not a friend.

He's the guy who ran away from the hospital.

Nice to meet you. I'm Wu Jong Won. This is my colleague's clinic, and I'm using it for a time.

There's no one but us here, so no worries.

What would I be worrying about?

I'm going to run a few tests on you today. It won't take long.

What are you talking about? What tests?

- Just a few simple tests.
- You said nothing about tests.

- I'm telling you now.
- But the tests aren't for you. They're for me.

What made you think you could make a decision like that on your own? I won't get tested.

Hey, Hey!

I'm explaining why now.

You decided this by yourself, and you're explaining only now. Why should I listen?

With tests, we can find out who made-

"Made" isn't a right word.

We can find out who gave you the power, or if the power is generated within you somehow.

That's the key to finding out who you are.

Let's do the tests. We both want to know, don't we?

What if digging up my past tells you that I killed your parents? What will you do then?

If that's the case,

you die too.

- So for you to decide to kill me or not, I have to go through with the tests, right?
- Right.

Then, let's do them.

What do I have to do?

Some blood tests and biopsies.

But before that, have you seen this man by chance?

Not even once?

I'm not sure if I've never seen him, or I can't remember seeing him.

I see. Shall we go in?

I'm about to swab some of your epithelial cells.

Open your mouth.

I'll collect some skin cells for a biopsy.

Don't do it. Please don't!

Don't do it!

To test your immunity and antibodies, I'm going to extract some spinal fluid.

It's going to hurt a lot more than you think.

- Do it quickly.
- I'm beginning now.

Please...

Stop it. Stop it!

It's dangerous for you to get up now!

Put this on.

Did it hurt a lot?

I'm not going to say I'm sorry. Let's go back in.

The tests are nearly done.

I don't want to know any more. Just leave me alone.

♫ True power, what should I do? ♫

♫ True power, what should I? ♫

Stop it. Don't do that.

♫ What should I do? ♫

Stop it. Don't do that.

♫ I wish you were here. ♫

When someone approaches me, I get chills all over.

I get like that especially when a stranger approaches me in the dark.

But I didn't get that way with you.

♫ True power, what should I do? ♫

♫ True power, what should I? ♫

You were never a danger to me, not in the hospital or at the subway station.

You were the only one.

You were the only one I thought I could be with.

Let's go back in.

He said the next test wouldn't hurt as much.

If I had killed your parents,

the hair on my body would've stood on end when I saw you the first time.

It's not me.

The murderer is someone else.

Don't think of seeing me again.

The tests are almost done.

I don't want to know anymore.

I'm scared.

♫ I'm sorry. ♫

If you won't go back in, I'll take you by force.

♫ I swear. ♫

Now might be a good time for you to fix up your whole face.

I desperately want to, but I don't have money.

Anyhow, are you okay?

Abetting a suspect will get you into trouble later.

He came to my house when I was little.

He did? How?

I don't know.

If your father worked by chance

- Why?
- in biotechnology,

I think he might be connected to Ji Oh.

I saw my father wear gowns when I was young.

So I thought he was a doctor. Later, I found out he worked at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI).

That's quite possible. Doctors are essential human resource for exploring space.

But why did Ji Oh come to your house?

I don't know that myself.

But what's more puzzling is that,

he disappeared the next day, along with my parents.

What do you mean?

It's just as I said. They disappeared.

After that day, my parents never came back.

Did they go missing?

That's why you're holding on to him.

In case he knew something about what happened to your parents.

Exactly.

But he ran away. That jerk.

I guess I've got to catch him again. Shall we get up?

Gu Reum,

you... is this the case you said you were investigating continuously by yourself?

No, it's not.

You became a police because of it, right?

It's not that. It's all in the past.

And you got kicked out of Felony and Homicide because you were investigating your parents' case, correct?

As you did today.

Do you think your mom and dad are alive?

Or, do you think they are dead?

Isn't that obvious?

When you've gone missing for five years, you're presumed dead.

No traces of my parents are found in clerical or financial records.

Apart from that.

Apart from that,

is there anything else?

I can't have my mom and dad alive.

Or else, it only means they deserted me and ran away.

If they're alive and well, where does that leave me?

That shouldn't be.

It isn't right if they're alive.

Yet,

I keep hoping they're alive.

I want to see them just once.

Gu Reum, you are you.

Okay.

You are you.

I know.

No, you don't.

You're someone's daughter and friend.

You may be someone's mother later on.

You'll play many different roles in the course of your life.

More important than any role you play is being who you are.

Live your life as you, not as somebody's daughter.

Wise words.

However, they don't comfort me.

That's because all your emotions have dried up.

That's a bit comforting.

Your parents could ruin your life.

Later on, your husband or children could.

But you shouldn't.

The last person to ruin your life is always you.

Professor, let's talk about work.

When the results come out, you're going to tell me first, right?

Of course.

Will the tests show whether Ryu Jung Kwon

is connected to Ji Oh or not?

Painters talk about the styles of paintings and brushstrokes.

The same can be said about scientists. Each scientist has their own distinct styles of research. So we know who's who.

It if turns out Ji Oh is linked to Ryu Jung Kwon,

and if we find Dr. Ryu, can we know about Ji Oh's past too?

Probably.

That's enough then.

I'll get going. Thank you for your work, Professor.

Alright.

So bored.

Focus.

Until when do we have to be doing this?

Until Ji Oh shows up. Sit up straight.

I don't want to.

Team Leader, you ought to feel this wind.

I told you to sit up straight.

Nothing's more foolish than being faithful. I doubt he'll show up today.

I saw your records.

My ex-boyfriend is in the military police. I coaxed him.

Do you want to die?

Team Leader, you killed nine people.

Didn't you go over that training exercise hundreds of times?

Stop it.

Unless you're stupid, there's no way you can't tell the difference between a flash grenade and a real grenade.

I told you to stop.

Would it be that someone added explosives to your flash grenades?

That sort of thing happened to me, too.

During my bilateral training, I only took blank cartridges with me.

Lieutenant!

- Lieutenant!
- What happened?

After five people got killed, I knew what I had was live rounds of bullets.

I made sure they were blank rounds. I had to wonder how that could happen.

Since it was an exercise, they gave us no live bullets. So I wondered why I had them in my gun.

I was sentenced to life. And twice, I think?

I tried to kill myself.

Why didn't you?

Someone came looking for me.

Who?

I can't say who. I promised him to carry that secret to my deathbed.

He told me then.

That if I obeyed him, he'd give me work and even a leg.

I hope you didn't go through anything like that, Team Leader?

The decision is yours.

You can rot in here, or come work for me.

What kind of work are you talking about?

Let's just say you'll do something for your country.

It isn't a conspiracy of any kind, I hope.

You and I just happened to make a similar mistake, right?

A mistake that's never supposed to happen.

Enough. We just have to not make mistakes anymore.

Aren't you sick of killing people you don't know without knowing why?

Go inside.

Do you want to run away together?

To where no one can find us.

When it comes to covering up and concealing, we're the best.

Go inside. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said.

You'll pretend you didn't hear what I said.

That's just about the cruelist answer there is.

It makes a person hold their breath in hope till the end.

Don't expect anything from me.

If I run away alone,

will you come to kill me, Team Leader?

Of course, I will.

I see.

Pretend you didn't hear that.

Don't get lax with your surveillance. And report to me if anything happens.

I'll meet up with you tomorrow morning.

Are you running away?

He's running away for sure. How petty.

Employee Information Card: Ji Oh

Ryu Jung Kwon (missing)

Juan Metropolitan Police Agency

What are you doing?

I'm getting you some coffee.

Why? Are you sick?

- Gone mad?
- No.

Just because I like you, Team Captain.

I bet you're in trouble, right?

What trouble would I cause?

Team Captain, I try to be nice. Is this all the thanks I get?

I'm quite hurt.

Just return this for me.

What is it?

Hey!

I just got you this phone. How did you ruin it like this already?

What did she do to it?

Speedy Personal Loan & Consultation
Academiron

Hello?

Hello? Go on, speak. Hello?

Damn, when you call, you should talk. Hello?

You are Ji Oh, aren't you? This is Ji Oh, right?

Why are you hanging up, you jerk?

You are Ji Oh, aren't you?

Where are you? Do you have no money? Should I come get you?

- Who—
- You were going to ask who I was, weren't you?

It's me, man. Your friend, Won Yi.

Don't wander around in the streets. Hurry, come home.

You've forgotten your address, right?

I'll tell you, so listen up.

Ryu Jung Kwon

Juan University of Science and Technology
Professor Ryu Jung Kwon

Embezzled Research Funds

Wow, this looks great.

Thank you.

The number is the same as before. What are you up to lately?

- No.
- It's okay.

Think of me as your older brother and come clean.

I don't have a brother.

Then think of me as your uncle.

I don't have an uncle, and nothing's up, either.

Are you sure?

How about any grievance you have toward you team?

None. I like being part of the team very much.

And I like you very much, Team Captain.

Then you don't have any problems. And you haven't lost your marbles, either. Right?

Right.

Why would someone with no worries and resentment put her cell phone in her microwave oven?

Worse, it's a brand new cell phone you got a day before.

I went to General Affairs. They said the inside of the phone was torched.

Nothing could've burned the phone as it was unless you put it in a microwave open. And I said you wouldn't have done it.

What's the use of defending you? Do you know how ridiculous you made me look?

They say a psychopath joined our team. Have you gone mad?

Why do you do the things you do?

- It's nothing like that.
- If not, are you a lunatic?

You got dumped by Felony and Homicide for doing what you do now. Correct?

Just a minute.

Don't answer that. Hey, you route the call and get it.

Yes, Criminal Investigation Team 1, Ha Gu Reum speaking.

I told you not to answer it.

Yes, is that so?

Yes, got it.

Hey, where are you going? Stop there!

Come here.

Come back here.

Here.

Sit tight here.

Hey, you! Hey!

That crazy psychopath!

Who is it?

I'm asking who it is.

Ji Oh, you punk.

I thought you were dead, you punk.

You, come here, come here. You, punk.

When did you last bathe? You stink.

Hey, come on in.

Shower first. Hey, where are you going?

Take off your shoes. Go ahead, take them off.

Come in.

I saw you on the news.

But you aren't that type. You aren't some righteous savior.

You're far from it.

Did you use your electricity again, didn't you?

You do that all the time, you punk.

You're off to somewhere alone. Each time you use your electricity, you lose your memories.

Then you check in with me in a long while. That's your pattern.

You call but say nothing. All I hear is your heavy breathing. When I ask, "Are you Ji Oh?"

You ask me back, "Who are you?" Damn, you.

It's me, you punk.

Eat.

But I'm impressed.

While you don't remember anything, you somehow memorized my number.

I can't change my number because of you.

-Are we—
- Yes, correct. We are friends.

- Then—
- Yes, we left the orphanage and lived together. And you ran away all the time,

saying that you'd live alone.

In the past—

In the past, we were an amazing pair.

You knocked them out, and I emptied their pockets.

You could open people's doors, and I stole.

Oh, this is nice.

♫ Everyone is gone. Your fear of being alone. ♫

♫ It will make you stronger. ♫

Come on, punk. You go.
♫ Alone. ♫

This is a big one.

Here, here.

Ji Oh, Ji Oh, look at that.

Ji Oh, open it.

What are you waiting for? Open it.

Open it, you punk.

What are you doing? Open the door.

Your superpower electricity and my speed.

We were a small business on the go.

Where have you been this time?

- So we were such—
- Yes, bad guys.

Do you happen to think you're a good guy? Aww, look at you acting all shocked.

Don't think about going anywhere this time. Do a business with me.

I can make you ID's and passports if you need them.

Do you make things like them, too?

Ji Oh, who made your driver's license for you?

- By any chance—
- By any chance, do I know who is chasing you?

- Yeah.
- Hey.

Are you really being chased? You always say that and leave, saying you can't stay for long.

Anyhow who is chasing you? You said it wasn't the police. I'm more curious than you.

- Who am I?
- Oh no. Damn it.

Our so-called parents threw us away as soon as we were born.

That's why the orphanage registered our births.

Do you remember the older kids who used to beat us?

- I don't.
- Of course, you don't.

Anyway, we were getting pummeled that day.

- Stop it!
- Let us go!

Stop it!

Hurry and come down here.

No!

When I woke up, I saw the whole church burning.

I knew all along you'd burn down that church one day.

Anyway, all the nuns were throwing fits, and that's when we ran away.

Think about it. What would kids as young as we were have done to survive the streets?

We lived on charity, begged for food, pickpocketed and stole.

What's the conclusion? Stop asking who you are and write it down.

The conclusion is...

you and I are nothing.

Why aren't you writing all this down?

How frustrating. How about getting you a tattoo, instead?

A tattoo that reads I'm absolutely nothing. How about it?

Before I went to that orphanage,

did I ever talk about where I was and what I did? For example, whose house I stayed at?

- You did say one thing.
- What?

That you didn't remember a single thing.

You could've easily used your electricity before you came to the orphanage.

Hey, listen to me.

Don't suffer needlessly as you do when you leave here.

Stay here and work with me.

I loan people money, and you collect their debts.

Flash those blue eyes of yours at those who won't pay back. That'll be the end.

As the proverbial saying goes, you can literally flash light beams out of your eyes where money is due.

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

Do we have to wait again? How do detectives put up with their stakeouts?

They should get a raise.

- Why do you look at me with such disdain?
- Sit up straight.

If you don't want to look at me, then don't.

A-01

Please let me live!

- Where's Ji Oh?
- I don't know. I really don't!

- You lived with him.
- No.

He was just crashing with me.

It's true! It's true!

It's true! He stayed with me for a bit. Then he left.

After that, I can't contact him, and he won't answer his phone.

I really don't know anything, you son of bitch!

Sorry for saying that.

Please let me live. Please! Please let me live!

If Ji Oh calls or comes to see you,

I'll call you right away. Really, right away.

Please let me live, please.

Yes. Get a hold of me immediately.

And if you happen to change your mind, remember this sound.

A-01

A-01

A-01

- Speak.
- It's me.

What happened?

Ji Oh just came. He's at my place.

Keep him there no matter what.

Yes.

Ji Oh's just been found.

NFS

I went through them roughly.

So, this is why people don't find science interesting. I don't understand a thing.

Look.

-This is a DNA homology test.
-What's homology?

It's an analysis of how similar two cells are.

I see more than six distinct character traits of each cell are combined.

What does that mean?

That means at least six DNA types are combined in one body.

What?

The most distinct characteristic is that of knifefish.

What's knifefish?

Simply put, they're electric eels. But actually electric eels,

aren't really eels. They're fish.

In any case, the DNAs of knifefish are mixed, right?

It's not just that.

The DNA characteristics of red jellyfish, sturgeons,

bats and fruit flies

are presented as well.

If all these characteristics are combined, the entity can generate and sense electricity.

It can also have a superior capacity for recovery and reflexes that far exceed those of humans.

Is it possible to combine DNA characteristics to that extent?

Though in theory only now, if someone unlocked the secret of L.U.C.A. (Last Universal Common Ancestor), such is possible.

What's L.U.C.A.?

Gu Reum, when do you think your life began?

Me? My existence, you mean?

No, biologically.

It would be in my mother's womb.

Right. Your life form began when a sperm and an egg, two cells of different characteristics got mixed.

The two cells must have something in common to help blend their respective DNA, yes?

I suppose so.

With that theory, when you trace up to the origin of all forms of life, you come to a cell that's the common ancestor for all.

That is called L.U.C.A. Last Universal Common Ancestor.

Is it a mutation?

No.

No mutation can be this elaborate. This was engineered from the beginning.

Are you saying this is a life form artificially engineered?

Professor, isn't that in the realm of God?

No. It's in the realm of technology, though it's forbidden.

Could this be the work of Dr. Ryu Jung Kwon?

Ninety-nine percent.

He's the only one with the skills to combine the genes to this extent.

And he's the only one crazy enough to do something like this.

Do you think it's him who sent the people chasing Ji Oh?

I don't know, but I think I better consult academia.

Also I need to see whether my analysis is correct.

And you,

if you see him again, you've got to keep him with you at all costs.

Why?

Now I can tell you this with all certainty. He isn't human.

What's going on?

You are something.

Did you come back here again after you got screwed over twice already?

There was a stray dog.

An animal control center took him in and examined to see if he had a disease.

And it tried to feed him, too. But the dog didn't appreciate any of that.

The dog just kept running away as you do.

I don't have a disease. And I eat well.

That's what the dog thought of himself contrary to how people saw him.

- Let's go.
- Stop the bullshit.

Although we caught him, we lost.

Go up there and erase the pictures from their cell phones. Clean up well before you leave.

Human Tech

It's the research data that took me over thirty years to collect.

For that research result, I dedicated my whole life.

Without bearing my name, it was uploaded for all to see.

You should've stopped it.

My life's work was thrown open to those damn fools in the Academy.

Those holding positions in the Academy are nothing but a load of crap.

Bullshit!

They can never catch up to me. But who knows what they'll do with my research results?

My research.

There's just no telling they won't take away my life's work.

You might as well go public with your patent.

It's an act of murdering a scientist.

What makes you so high and mighty, huh?

Without me, you could not have come this far.

Ji Oh is the result of my science worth over billions and trillions.

The existence of Ji Oh is what testifies to my worth.

Do you even have the slightest clue?

Are you finished?

Go out there right this minute and solve the problem.

Burn the server or do whatever you have to. Just take down my research data.

You're not acting right now, are you?

What?

Such a passionate performance. It's weird.

Look here!

That was uploaded by your buddy, Professor Oh Jong Hwan at NFS (National Forensic Service).

I'm leaning toward thinking he uploaded that at your own bidding.

What kind of crazy talk is that?

Why would I do such a thing when

the Academy sold its soul for a few dollars of research subsidies?

Why else? You aren't as good as you were once when Ha Young Jae worked with you after his disappearance.

By tacitly allowing your work to go public, you can anonymously solicit advice and suggestions.

It's a form of cheating you did. Am I wrong?

What you say is simply beyond me. How can you doubt me?

The only thing leaked to NFS was Ji Oh's blood sample while he was in the hospital.

But the data uploaded now includes his blood and epithelial and skin cells.

It even shows the biopsies of his liver and lung plus spinal fluid.

Did Ji Oh get a physical?

That can't be.

By logic, we've come to conclude you leaked the data.

Help me understand.

How could you do something like that?

I've never done such a thing.

There's no way I'd do such a thing in my right mind.

Ambition for fame, perhaps? You, scientists have that, don't you?

You want to tell the world, 'I've done the impossible!'

'I deserve a Nobel Prize.'

Isn't it your lifelong dream to see your name in the Hall of Fame?

No!

That isn't true.

I don't need such things.

Without the need for such things, you aren't a scientist.

I'll erase the data soon.

But until we find out how the data got uploaded, I don't trust you.

And you've reached a certain age now.

Don't talk down to me just because you're a little angry.

Act with some class.

Yes.

What?

Did you just say you got him?

Let's do a FaceTime.

Bring him in here right away.

Where are we going?

Where are you taking me?

What are you doing? Please don't!

Why are you doing this? Why?

What are you doing to me? Please, stop!

Why are you doing this?

Why are you—

He's the child I told you about.

You won't regret this?

As you promised, I need your assurance for my family's safety and funds for us to settle abroad.

Let's run some tests first to see if what you told us is true.

You said you'd buy me something delicious.

You said we were going on a picnic.

You promised you'd never give me another shot.

My people are seeing your wife now.

We're ready with the money and the account for you. As long as the data you turned over to us is true and correct,

I'll make sure the money gets to your wife immediately.

Don't. Please don't.

Please don't.

Stop!

Please don't. Stop. Please!

Why are you doing this to me?

What I have isn't a power. It's a curse.

A new era will begin.

The investigation is over.

He's an existence that shouldn't come out in the open.

Did you lose your data, too? What about the data I sent you?

Aren't you embarrassed?

I may be embarrassed, but these are the rules.

I won't run anymore.

If you want to catch me, you come to me.

Until I tell you to, don't leave. Until the end.
