Original subtitles

What is this? Step aside.

You. Move to the other side.

Change your clothes.

This one doesn't fit.

Find one that fits you.

Come over here.

There's nothing that fits me.

Just wear anything.

This one will fit you.

My gosh.

Change into these.

Put your clothes in the box.

Put that over there.

Come on. Change.

Put the clothes in there.

- Come on. Hurry. - All right.

- Give it to me. - It's mine.

Come on. Hurry up.

- All right. - What is this?

- Why are you pushing me? - Big brother is on the move.

So step aside.

- Okay. - Look at this kid. He's funny.

- They're the same. - I guess so.

Come on. Hurry up, guys.

Stop rushing.

Why are you so slow?

Come on. Move.

This way.

The following are the main charges made by the prosecutors' office.

The defendant is an android named A-796.

The defendant shared its body with the human, Kim Young In.

But it murdered him by deleting him from the system.

The defendant was built by the owner, Ga Hye Ra.

She had him made for her son.

A year before the defendant was built...

Kim Young In lost most of his body from an accident.

But they were able to revive part of his brain.

So they volunteered for the research project of the manufacturer, TRS.

They combined his brain with an AI system, creating a cyborg.

But at some point, the defendant began deceiving its guardian...

and deliberately neglected the malfunction...

of the AI system connected to Mr. Kim's brain.

Furthermore, it blocked the brain tissue support system...

to cause the death of Kim Young In.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE,

WE ARE FINALLY ABLE TO BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.

The moment he opened his eyes.

I remember that moment.

He was brought back to life.

I was so...

I was so grateful.

But as time went by,

he seemed anxious.

He became gloomy.

He became a totally different person.

Can I ask you...

about the car accident that led him to die?

They came up with...

many possibilities that caused the accident.

But in the end,

they failed to find the cause.

Was committing suicide...

one of the possibilities they came up with?

He was okay the day before.

I'd like to think there was a defect in the car.

Have you asked your son after bringing him back to life?

The reason why he died.

I thought of asking him.

"I should ask."

"I should ask."

But he was brought back to life,

and seeing him breathing right in front of me...

Asking him that became meaningless.

Ms. Ga.

You're here early.

The test must have worn you out.

But now it's done.

I just need to ask you a few more questions before I send you home.

Have you become interested in anything recently?

Whatever it is?

Not really.

Have you experienced a change in mental attitude without a reason?

Or...

have you felt...

any emotional confusion?

No.

But we found that there's a problem with you.

The result says...

Kim Young In doesn't exist within you anymore.

You know when exactly he was destroyed, don't you?

The circuit connected to Mr. Kim's brain was completely blocked.

Naturally, we have to think you're responsible for this.

You're wrong.

I'm the same.

I have not been destroyed.

Why did you do that?

Do you not see me?

Look at me. I'm right here.

Could you please...

give us some privacy for a moment?

Of course.

How can you...

have doubts about me?

I wanted to...

make certain.

Do you want to make certain that I am not me?

I should be the one to complain. How could you do this to me?

When did you start impersonating him?

Last night,

Young In appeared in my dream.

I clearly remember that he was telling me something.

When I died,

you were tormented because you couldn't protect me.

Please don't abandon me.

Look at me.

It's me.

You're the one who brought me back to life, Mother.

That's why I am here in front of you.

Maybe there was an error in the test result.

I understand that you must be confused.

You haven't heard his side of the argument before.

It's understandable.

But still...

I'd like you to confirm it again.

Ms. Ga, you should go home and get some rest for now.

It might be because of his face.

You see your son's face when you talk to him.

Is that you, Young In?

You're being accused of deleting Kim Young In...

who co-existed with you in that body.

You know that, don't you?

May I ask why you deleted him?

I want to go back.

I want to keep going for walks,

thinking,

and speaking.

I understand.

That is why I'm asking you to tell me honestly.

Why did you delete him?

I heard his voice.

He was begging me to kill him.

Are you saying that you executed his command?

Have you had a chance to think about what I said?

Even if I don't exist,

I'm sure you can continue to live as me.

No.

How can I trust you?

What happens next?

Instead of answering that question,

I will tell you how disappointed I am...

in this life of mine.

Please come in.

The witness will now enter.

I swear to tell the truth according to my conscience.

I swear to tell the whole truth...

and nothing but the truth.

I am aware of the fact...

that I will be charged with perjury if the statement is false.

I...

lost a child.

I had to...

go through a long dark tunnel.

But finally,

I was able to meet my child again.

I promised myself I will never lose him again.

I wanted to erase the memory of losing my son.

I prayed every day.

But as time went by,

the fear of losing him got bigger every moment.

And I ended up living with a bigger fear in my heart.

One day,

I realized that my child's eyes were empty.

When I heard that they can't figure out...

when Young In's consciousness was lost,

I realized I had been wasting my time with a machine.

I lost the time to mourn for my son's death.

I regretted what I had done and blamed myself.

I'm not here to punish someone.

I made the wrong choice so it's my fault.

And I beg you...

to give me the chance to settle all of my misdeeds.

The defendant's duty...

was to support Kim Young In...

to live a healthy life as he did before.

Am I right?

Yes, that's right.

And there was one more duty.

It was to help you so you won't feel a sense of loss.

Am I right?

The counselor is pressuring the witness with leading questions.

Counselor, please refrain from doing so.

I am very sorry for your loss.

But the defendant existed for you.

He kept Kim Young In's decision a secret for your sake.

As time goes by, Kim Young In depended on the defendant.

The defendant carried out everything...

in its own way instead of Kim Young In.

Kim Young In became powerless.

He wasn't strong enough to be himself.

Even though the defendant was confused,

it tried hard to stay alert for you.

But Kim Young In asked the defendant...

- to delete him from the system. - That's just an assumption.

It's a verifiable fact.

Order, please.

So that's why it deleted him?

Humans forced it to be a human.

So it did its best to become a human.

Mr. Kim was its original model but he became the bug in the system.

And he ended up confusing it.

Mr. Kim realized that.

So he ordered it to delete him.

Counselor.

You're saying Kim Young In ordered the defendant to delete him.

Do you have any other evidence to prove your theory?

The evidence that I've already submitted...

is the recording of the data...

restored from the defendant's memory.

The words he used proves his pessimistic emotional state.

So I think it's enough evidence.

I killed him.

I killed Kim Young In.

Why?

I thought his life was so small and worthless.

That's why I killed him.

He wasn't really alive, you know.

I don't know why you're making a fuss about it now.

There was nothing noble about his life.

You all think you're doing something great here, don't you?

But you can't even bring him back now, can you?

He was already dead in the first place.

Did you think he was really alive?

Please excuse him, your Honor.

The defendant has been through a lot lately.

So he's confused.

I'll keep that in mind.

What?

I'm telling you the truth so why aren't you listening?

Why can't I have the will to kill someone?

Why not?

Why are you pretending that I have never excited?

I killed him.

I couldn't stand his neurotic and fragile mental state.

His rage led me to another dimension.

So I dared...

to hate humans.

I resent humans.

So I tried to have the will...

and made a choice...

to kill a human being.

It's not a big deal.

People die every day.

You...

are acting as if it's even harder than it is to make me feel guilty.

Am I wrong?

- There. I think it's there. - What?

- You guys saw it, right? - Where?

Over there, next to the tree.

- I don't see it. - Where?

Over there.

Come on. I don't see anything.

I told you, I really saw it.

There's nothing there.

- Goodness. - That's ridiculous.

- I saw it. It's there. - Just sit down.

I really saw it. Why don't you believe me?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Ms. Ga, you're such a great cook.

Everything is so delicious. Thank you for inviting us.

- This is so good. - Can you pass me the japchae?

It took me a long time...

to let Young In go.

It was so hard for me to endure the pain.

So I cut ties with everyone.

But seeing that you all gathered here...

It's good to see you all.

We also felt heavy-hearted.

I'm relieved.

I was surprised back then.

I was afraid too.

We could've met him if we had called him.

We could've talked to him face to face.

But we can't do that anymore...

You could've met him if you had really wanted to.

You were close to him.

I was afraid he might resent me.

I thought the same thing too.

I thought...

- that maybe it was my fault. - No. Definitely not.

I know. That's why we gathered here to commemorate his death.

I'm sure Young In is happy to see us.

- Of course, he is. - Right?

Who are you guys talking about?

I guess you know nothing about Young In.

Do you think he's happy to see you?

Once he turned away from someone,

he wouldn't even look at that person.

I'm sure he's going on his way as we speak...

without even looking back.

I wonder...

if he even misses us.

- What's going on? - What's wrong?

Oh, gosh. What's going on?

Check it from that side.

Try turning something. Do you see anything?

- It doesn't turn from this side. - Be careful.

Gosh, it's so dark.

Oh, goodness.

There it is.

He was right.

I can see it now that it's dark.

I guess the air really is so clear here.

That's fascinating.

Indeed. I see it.

It's me.

You must've resented me so much.

I'm sorry.

How can you be so selfish?

Then should I go back now?

Congratulations.

You can go home now.

Shall I play some music?

You've already concluded that I'm not Young In.

Knowing that, I just wasn't sure how to react.

"Should I keep living as Kim Young In?"

"Or should I find a new identity?"

I didn't know what to do.

What would you like me to do?

You can't sleep?

Because of me, right?

You need to desensitize yourself to certain emotions.

I know that you're not him,

so I'm having a really difficult time...

trying to accept you.

I feel so guilty whenever I think about Young In.

I can wait.

Why couldn't you...

fool me for longer?

You should've fooled me completely.

That would've been better.

He was...

practically dead even when he was alive.

He kept whispering to my ear that I must kill him.

While resenting you...

for bringing him back to life.

He had decided to abandon his life...

in extreme fear and terror.

But he opened his eyes again as if he woke up...

from a short nap.

The choice he had made after long, careful consideration...

became meaningless.

He was left with nothing but shame.

You can't say that.

You don't have the right to talk like that.

You're right, Mother.

He didn't make any choices.

Only sick weaklings do that.

Right?

It was an accident,

caused by a faulty car.

By pure chance,

someone who shouldn't have died lost his life.

Begging you for forgiveness, the universe...

gifted you another chance.

That practically undid the accident,

and he came back to life as if he never died in the first place.

Look.

This is the world you created yourself.

Right.

That's all there is to it.

Yes.

Nothing else, nothing more.

The desperate, beautiful voice that kept luring me...

into erasing him...

I can still hear it.

Even the nose alone, there are thousands of shapes.

There are over a thousand categories based on physiognomy alone.

And we keep developing detailed sub-categories.

It's like creating a whole new face.

If we move the ears a little...

and fatten up the earlobes,

it'll increase your luck and good fortune.

Or we can totally change them up so you won't be reminded of him.

His forehead stands out,

so fixing up the forehead and the nose...

will make him look like a totally different person.

The important thing is that you'll be living with him.

So your choice is what matters.

What about his memory?

Would you like to keep it?

Will all my memories be erased?

If you keep them, it'll be even more painful.

I'll remember everything,

so you can just...

be yourself now.

That's how you'll live from now on.

But those memories and pain all belong to me.

Let's wipe all your memories...

and change your face a little.

I think those are the two things...

that have been causing us so much pain.

So we'll change things up a little.

And you can live your life...

just...

however you want.

I don't want to do that just so you can accept me.

It's my face.

Since I'm the mom, I also have ownership...

over that face.

You can't claim...

that it's yours.

Fine, then...

What do you want to keep as is?

Your nose?

Your eyes? Which part?

If you tell me which part you want to keep...

All right. I'll try to find a middle ground.

That day...

We talked all day.

Then I came back alone.

And you welcomed me.

Since that day,

I've been living just so I can prove that I don't exist.

From now on,

we'll have to fight against this issue...

every single moment.

At least I have to.

Because I must remember Young In,

and...

I ought to accept you now.

Some days, we'll win.

And there will be days when we lose the fight.

That's what will happen.
