DOOMSDAY BOOK

The Mariana Resort.

Seventy-four guestrooms,

All overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Right?

Which way is the Pacific from here?

Hey, Hwa-yoo.

Yeah?

-Hurry up and eat. We're late. -Honey.

-Should l take my bikini or not? -Without me...

Don't ask me.

You knew my military service is almost over.

l forgot that you were in the military,

since you're working at a research lab and all.

Soldiers can't travel overseas?

Then how did all those guys go to lraq?

Why didn't you go too?

Oh, right. You're not a soldier.

Or are you?

l'm not that kind of soldier.

Then what?

Sis...

My liquor cabinet.

Over there.

l marked all the bottles, so don't even touch them.

Also...

l'm warning you.

Don't think of having a party in here.

Yes, sir.

Since you're working so hard for your country,

Do your mom a few favors too.

You've received one new voice mail.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

Hurry up and come out.

-Don't make your blind date wait! -Garbage bags...

She's hot and her body is hotter.

Garbage bags...

Yes.

All you have left are your memories.

No.

That's great!

Hey, this one is done.

Compliments of the chef.

-We just got it in. -Waitress!

Yes, coming!

You don't like beef liver?

This is the best part right here.

What's an apple peel doing in there?

Then have more of this.

Sure.

Seok-woo!

l think l should go home now!

Yoo-min...

l have to go back into the lab tomorrow.

My house is right by here.

Aren't you thirsty?

But yesterday you didn't want to go home since your family left.

No, no.

That was yesterday, and today is today.

Seok-woo.

lt's only been three days since we met,

and you'll be done with the military in a month.

Yoo-min!

l really like you.

l'm not that kind of guy. l love you, Yoo-min!

KlM Yoo-min! l want to marry you!

But...

Why do you like me?

Well...

lt's strange, isn't it?

Girls don't really like guys like you.

Especially hot girls like me.

l was just kidding.

Your eyes.

They're like puppy dog eyes.

Kind and loyal.

So it's because...

-l remind you of a puppy? -No, that's not...

l feel like those eyes will only look at me.

Like you'll only be thinking of me at the lab.

l want to research you forever.

Wait.

Your face...

Why?

What do you think you're doing, young man?

-Let's just ignore them. -Hold on a second.

l'll have to teach this fellow some manners.

Students should already be at home at this late hour!

And you, young man!

l'll have a word with this fellow.

Stop!

Wait, young man!

Woah!

You shouldn't be doing that in front of students.

Just get a room!

Are you in shock?

Hey, what is that?

Hello?

You little...

"YOO-MlN" You may already realize the recent

growth of flu patients around you.

This year's flu epidemic has the most lethal symptoms yet,

and is extremely difficult to treat.

Chills, fevers, and migraines are symptoms

similar to the influenza virus,

but this virus appears to mutate within a day's time.

Tonight's debate is on whether this mysterious virus

is part of a conspiracy.

Let's hear from Mr. LEE Joon-ho from the Civic Group, Proper Solidarity.

Well, before l begin with tonight's debate...

Let's try not to misbehave.

Many have during past disagreements.

So as l start off tonight's debate,

l suggest we try to offer objective information.

Everyone is wondering about the current state of the first infected.

-You've investigated something for us? -Yes.

This unidentified epidemic is the modern-day plague of our...

Strange events taking place online are also worrying officials.

Around midnight last night this website's main server malfunctioned,

suddenly causing its game characters

to behave violently like the virus patients.

SHlN MlN-JEONG (43) (SEOUL) l thought she was blind

because her eyes were yellow.

She just wasn't normal.

She just bit someone passing by and there was blood everywhere.

Haven't we all seen this before?

The presidential elections of 2004.

The Great National Party, that you belong to...

Let's stick to today's subject, sir.

This is about the subject.

These numbers match their percent vote in each city in the 2004 election.

We're talking about the virus.

Why is this so?

Why are you mentioning the Great National Party?

"PARK HO-YOUNG (GREAT NATlONAL PARTY)" This does not reflect our party's views.

lt originated in the Great National Party?

My objective evidence points to your food trucks

in the 2004 elections.

LEE SOON-KYU (36) NEUROSURGEON Patients show violent behavior

and difficulty controlling emotion.

The recent food-and-mouth and bird influenza virus

has spread more rapidly than the 201 0 outbreak.

The medical world agrees on the urgent necessity

for identifying this virus.

The reason is...

ln the worst case possible... We're off the subject.

For the nation's peace,

we need nationwide sacrifice.

-The first origin of... -We don't even know...

Concerns are rising on news of more infected health officials.

The government has failed to uncover

the initial cause and routes for contamination.

How can you talk about relocating right now?

lf you have time to be sitting here,

go home and feed your children.

l am here to represent the people! Please refrain from personal attacks.

Serve your country by being a good mother.

Your obsession with lingerie not going so well recently?

-Lingerie? -So that's why you got divorced.

Again, personal attacks are...

Symptoms in these virus patients has worsened.

We managed to sit down with one patient showing violent symptoms.

You don't look too well right now...

Can you comment on...

l remember the days as a student back in Russia.

Ladies and gentlemen.

This epidemic is now spiraling beyond our control.

That's right!

-They uncovered it a century ago. -lt was Leon Trotsky's...

Meat and the Bible.

These two things represent food for the body and the soul.

But when conflict arises between these two provisions...

What are you doing...?

Crisis has arisen in...

The Department of Agriculture employed over thirty health officials,

running detailed inspections of the local pig farms.

No additional cases have occurred, but vaccinations are encouraged.

The virus won't become active, but it can still be contagious.

Vaccinations are necessary...

The whole complex is empty.

All this chaos in one week!

We leave for one week and the country goes to ruins.

l can't even step out without worrying for the nation.

Just worry about yourself.

How could you tag along on our wedding anniversary trip?

Open the door! l have to pee!

He's not answering.

-He's not? -No.

l specifically told him what time we'd be back.

Hwa-yoo!

You had the keys when we left.

l did?

Just find it!

Wait a second.

You're really in Mensa? lt doesn't make sense.

l had the keys.

Jeez, Mom!

Sheesh.

Why is it so dark in here?

Seok-woo.

Are you all right?

He didn't clean up all week.

What a mess.

Why, that little...

Just look at that idiot, putting on an act.

What's with him?

l hoped he could handle himself, but apparently not.

Look at him just staring at us.

What's that smell?

He probably played games all night.

My liquor!

l warned him not to touch it...

Seok-woo!

What's wrong with you?

-What's wrong with him? -Seok-woo!

Honey!

Son! What's gotten into you?

Seok-woo! lt's Dad!

Snap out of it!

Seok-woo! lt's Dad!

He has to try on the pants l bought him...

Seok-woo, Mommy...

My 30-year-old Ballantine's...

Johnnie Walker Blue Label...

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel...

l told them we shouldn't come back.

We've received reports that the virus symptoms have mutated.

Uncontrollable libido, appetite, and depression...

Patients had suffered from symptoms related to such human vices.

Now they've lost all cognitive abilities and are attacking others randomly.

The number of victims is skyrocketing.

They may appear to be living human beings,

but experts call them "dead bodies in suspended animation".

Please refrain from going outdoors and stay somewhere safe.

lf you see any people moaning or walking very slowly,

we advise you to flee immediately or to report to the nearest police.

An unverified report states that even deaths have occurred.

Unbelievable breaking news.

Victims believed to have been murdered by the virus patient.

They have been coming back to life in immediate suspended animation.

Symptoms of the unidentified virus have quickly mutated.

"STOP NORTH KOREA'S BlOLOGlCAL WARFARE!"

Experts are working nonstop to find the cause of this phenomenon,

but even cutting edge science cannot explain these events.

A reporter from Seoul Monthly released a controversial theory online,

claiming this epidemic to be of North Korea's doing,

and that talk of withdrawal of U.S. forces was the cause.

These are tragic times.

A far-right politician claims this to be nationalists' vendetta against himself.

He has applied for asylum in Japan, but it was denied again.

Some have also suggested reinstating of Dr. HWANG to study the virus.

Members of HWANG's advocate group, "HWANG Forever",

visited the Ministry of Environment to request a meeting with the Minister.

Most online comments on handling virus patient attacks were proven false.

As analysts believe this is another instance of cyber-bullying,

some claim protesters of the online real-name system are responsible.

The American Secretary of Defense has reported to the U.S. President

that "such biochemical attacks must not be ignored",

and "drastic measures must be considered to ensure world peace".

Do you think we will remember this moment?

"Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it

you shall surely die."

Genesis 2: 1 6-17

Robot assistance fortunately allows us to focus on our practices.

Do they take care of cleaning?

No, our monks do the cleaning.

Cleaning is part of our practices, but money management is not.

What kind of duties does the defective RU-4 have here?

ln-myung is a guide robot who provides general information.

But calling him "defective" does not seem suitable.

lf he's not defective...

Are you saying he thinks on his own,

rather than repeating the input data?

Correct.

He shares his own realizations with our believers and other monks.

Don't monks struggle to attain enlightenment?

You're saying a robot has attained it?

Although, we have heard his teachings,

and have acknowledged his spiritual growth.

lnstead of repairing or checking for ln-myung's defects,

we seek your professional judgment on his current state.

There is ln-myung.

Turn your head.

What? Are you curious?

Please see me for what l am

Everything looks normal.

l am normal.

l wasn't talking to you, robot.

l realize this must be stressful for you.

What are you talking about?

lt is all right. l am just a machine.

Please feel at ease.

l am.

l've handled hundreds of troublesome robots like you.

l do not understand why

UR lnternational sent a repair specialist.

l'm here at the temple's request.

l know we did not request a repair specialist.

A specialist first checks in-person for defects or need of service.

lt's protocol.

Then you have confirmed that l have no defects.

That's not for you to decide.

All is functional, is it not?

This matter is beyond my authority.

l do not understand.

l don't know what you're asking of me.

l know nothing about Buddhism.

lf a robot is defective, l change its parts and repair it.

lf it's worse, l report to the head office.

My job is to fix defective robots.

But you're telling me this robot is Buddha.

lf this crazy robot claims he's Buddha,

it's my job to open him up and repair the short circuit.

But you want me to confirm if he is Buddha.

You are not at fault, sir.

Stay out of this! Humans are talking!

l apologize if we have offended you.

l had thought seeing him for yourself would be best.

l'm afraid my actions were rash.

This is beyond my authority.

l'll file a recall according to protocol.

ln-myung is no mere robot.

-That's for us to decide. -Yes.

lt is a matter for you experts to decide.

So what have you decided?

Even if ln-myung is not Buddha,

don't you agree that he is different from other robots?

lt's just a robot, like l'm just a technician.

Why do you experts only believe data?

Why won't you allow room for imagination?

Why must data be truth and all else be false?

What are you saying?

Then would you have me explore philosophy with the robot?

l am asking you to look again without fear.

Fine.

lf you cannot determine whether ln-myung is Buddha or not,

then can you not at least see the hearts of people?

The reason for our actions...

The reason for our bringing a busy technician here.

Can you not see it?

Please check Brother ln-myung once more.

All l see is a defective robot.

l will go now.

Who is it?

Hey... ls the repair guy here?

What guy?

You're the guy who fixes robots, right?

Yes. So?

Fix my baby for me.

What is this?

My baby.

l think she's dead. She won't move.

So just lend me a chip.

You fix robots. l'm sure you have a lot.

No, you need to take this to a robot pet center.

But she died all of a sudden and the center is closed now.

l've been waiting for you to come home for hours.

l was waiting for you and it's too late now!

So just give me one chip.

Just wait until tomorrow and go to the center when it opens.

But l need her right now!

Don't you know that smoking is illegal?

Did you fix her?

lt's temporary. l don't have the right chip.

lt'll be fine to play with for a few hours.

Damn it.

lt moves awkward.

You really don't have it?

Go to this place tomorrow.

They carry the best biochips in the country.

l'm not quite happy with it, but thanks anyway.

-So do you live with robots too? -Excuse me?

Do you live alone, with robots?

l see.

No wonder.

Let's go, baby.

More and more young people are choosing robots over marriage.

These so-called "humanoid mates".

With national birth rates at record lows,

such social trends are a rising problem.

They have recreational functions and they're more trustworthy.

We're like family now.

Yes, ma'am.

Why don't l have your report?

l'll file it soon, but...

ls there a problem?

l need your report to decide what to do with the robot.

To be honest, l haven't reached a decision yet.

What decision?

ls the robot still useful?

That's what l cannot decide on.

ls it necessary to exterminate RU-4?

What?

Listen, Mr. PARK...

-Don't disgrace UR lnternational... -l'll file my report soon.

Would you like to come in?

What brings you here at this hour?

l've come for advice for my troubled mind.

What troubles you?

l was upset by the encounter with the technician this afternoon.

Why did it upset you?

l learned that all awakened beings in this world are Buddha,

and you have attained the highest point among us all.

But they deem you defective and order a recall.

He merely did what he had to do.

That is not all.

The company will send a team of exterminators tomorrow.

lt is absolutely absurd.

As if you were some killer robot.

l question their ability of perception.

You will be in great danger if we do nothing.

What do you see me as?

You are Buddha.

What does that appear to be?

That is a clock.

Then what does this appear to be?

ls this my arm, or is it a clock?

To perceive is to distinguish, merely a classification of knowing.

While all living creatures share the same inherent nature,

perception is what classifies one as Buddha and another as machine.

We mistake perception as permanent truth

and such delusions cause us pain.

Perception itself is void, as is the process of perceiving.

As l am a perception of this void, please see me for what l am.

Brother ln-myung.

Fill your mind with nothingness.

From where have l come, and to where do l go?

What am l?

What am l? What am l?

From where have l come, and to where do l go?

What am l? What am l?

What am l?

From where have l come, and to where do l go?

-When is this model from?

The R200 series, circa 201 7.

Why was it not replaced?

l'm sorry, sir. We'll replace it now.

Extermination team.

That is not necessary.

This robot is still useful to our temple.

We have the right and responsibility to replace outdated models, sir.

But if the buyer is satisfied, there is no need.

l am still useful.

l will begin my introduction of our temple.

-Mr. PARK. -Yes, ma'am.

-Did you check this? -l checked it yesterday.

l decided it was still functional, so l did not report it.

Report everything and l'll decide.

Yes, ma'am.

You may go.

"KANG SEONG-CHEOL OWNER OF UR lNTERNATlONAL"

"MlN YOO-Nl FUTURE CEO OF UR lNTERNATlONAL"

l flew over as soon as l got the emergency report.

For failing to distinguish such crucial matters as this,

l fired nine secretaries and one ignorant manager.

Our technician seems to grasp the situation.

So why did you seek the guarantee of UR from a mere technician,

in trying to turn that robot into Buddha?

l realize that we were at fault.

You are not obligated to mind the interests of a mere corporation.

But UR is essentially different from these companies you think of.

UR robots are in our governments, schools, and families.

Simply, they are integral to all areas of society.

You could say that UR provides the basic groundwork of the human race.

Must mankind then refrain from breaking down its own establishment?

l am stating that a robot's defect

can cause catastrophic to the national system.

lt is a threat to the world and will cause suffering.

What did you say?

This is not a "threat".

National security is always an excuse used to suppress the people.

Now used by a mere corporation.

Refrain yourself.

No, that is not so.

We're only discussing the threat to mankind's existence.

Whether UR is the cause or the support is not important.

You only see a merchant in me, but keep this in mind.

UR's client is all of mankind.

l can take measures to the head of state against such threats to mankind.

People often see science as a mere instrument to mankind.

A subservient aid to do its bidding, like some genie in a lamp.

But each scientific advancement man utilizes conversely changes himself.

Even before we realize it.

When the first man handle that wooden stick,

the stick was also manipulating him.

Which is why we are training ourselves to reach a balance

between mind and matter.

Quite optimistic.

Man has been a slave to material things since the dawn of civilization.

Man has always been the core by class, capital, and labor.

And now we will be the target by a monster we created.

Creator, at the will of his own creation! Understand?

All creators face the dilemma that they've created a monster.

But every problem has a solution.

The solution is to dismantle the RU.

We see the problems of RU

and the solution is to obliterate these monsters.

We must not let their deceitful tongue fool us.

We will be left at their mercy before we even know it.

A different example.

The human brain has not evolved since the dissemination of computers,

left only with basic arithmetic functions.

What is the main number for this temple?

Man has forever struggled to define its existence,

but with no satisfied explanation.

There was no necessity, for man was a normal human being.

But things have changed.

Man is desperately trying to define its existence,

because a nearly indistinguishable entity has emerged.

That is this situation!

Step forward, RU-4.

RU-4, step forward!

The RU series is a failure.

We have decided to exterminate all RU models around the world.

RU was made by man, but it is now a threat to us.

A threat that talks, thinks, cries, and even laughs like man.

Even invading religion and art!

Get a hold of yourselves!

That thing is a dagger held to the throat of mankind!

l'm shocked to find that the president of UR detests robots.

lf you still see me as just a grumbling businessman, so be it.

Director MlN, get it ready.

Yes, sir.

Greetings.

Today's unexpected news from this unexpected source was surprising.

l am putting no one at fault.

Each temple has authority to reach its own decisions.

But my brothers, ponder the effects of a robot's awakening on us.

What meaning can it hold for our brothers elsewhere?

What robot is desirous or compulsive by nature?

Are robots created without such desires, for the sole purpose of serving man?

lf we were to acknowledge a robot as Buddha...

lf it were constructed inherent with enlightenment,

which so few attain after such struggle and denial of self,

who would bear the countless

cycles of death and birth to achieve it?

Answer me this, robot.

Have you come to drive man away from the path of awakening?

You must know the effects of your talk of Nirvana on these poor souls!

lf you have truly been enlightened,

attest to this by withdrawing yourself now.

Put an end to this, robot!

Everything has been revealed.

This robot failed to answer the Master monk's question.

lt is now clear that this robot is defective.

You will stand witness to the end of a robot resisting human orders.

-Carry out the order. -Wait, sir.

Just one minute.

Please allow me some more time, sir.

Allow me some time to run more tests.

What are you saying?

You once stated that the RU-4 was a turning point in the history of man.

Who could've known its greatest gift would become its mortal affliction?

Technical error must be dealt through technical means.

Stop this, Mr. PARK.

No, l have something to say.

Sir, no one here is perfect, including you and l.

But we are not exterminated at the touch of a button.

-We don't have time for this. -Sir!

A robot must not think.

A robot must not possess cognition.

lt must not have emotions or feel pain.

A robot must never construe or trespass on the domains of man!

A robot must unconditionally obey human orders!

Begin immediately!

RU-400745479 EXQ.

You are hereby subject to Code Alpha 42 Plus.

You must obey all further orders and will now be collected.

What say you, robot?

You claim to have reached Nirvana.

Will you not obey to the likes of man?

Be warned!

We are free from legal constraints on robots violating this code,

and will commence fire to exterminate all such robots!

Will you obey?

Obey our orders.

Obey our orders!

This is your last warning! Will you obey?

As head of UR, l order to open fire!

-No, please cease fire! -Obey our orders!

Cease fire!

Extermination team!

-No, please cease fire. -Move!

Out of the way, Mr. PARK.

-No. -Out of the way, PARK!

Please cease fire!

-Back away, Mr. PARK! -Move, PARK!

Move.

Out of the way, PARK!

Out of the way, Mr. PARK!

This isn't right, sir!

Extermination team! What are you waiting for?

Back away.

Cease fire!

-Open fire! -Fire.

-Fire! -Cease fire!

Withdraw yourselves now.

Please withdraw everything now.

l know l am without desire or compulsion,

in the past, present, and future.

l have learned that this is as the teachings of Buddha.

Humans, for what do you fear?

Compulsion, desire, good deeds and bad, enlightenment and oblivion...

The world this robot has seen through its bare nature

was already complete, in and of itself.

Why do you believe that only a robot can be awakened at creation?

Humans.

You were each born with enlightenment already attained.

You have only forgotten.

The world this robot sees is inherently beautiful.

The question of my awakening does not affect this complete world.

You are masters of this world and have already attained enlightenment.

That is why l will now leave this place,

so that a robot's precedent enlightenment

will not fill you with oblivion again.

l pray that you ponder deep within yourselves,

and become rewarded with liberation.

lt's all...

All circuits have been disconnected.

The robot terminated all of its own functions.

ln-myung has entered into Nirvana.

l said not to put stuff like this on here.

-Your wife put them there. -l know.

-Bro. -What?

l didn't open a pool hall because...

Having a bomb shelter inside a home isn't easy.

But you can't walk through the rain without an umbrella, right?

You must be prepared.

Many viewers asked if women and children

really can live comfortably in the pod.

lnside our special Life Cube shelter pod,

everything is solar-powered.

That's right.

Sanitation and water supply are part of one system.

-One system? -Yes.

-Which means? -You'll have purified urine to drink.

-Purified urine! -Right.

lt does sound a bit repulsive, but it's extremely sanitary.

You'll have fresh water any time you want.

l'm sure you're already dialing our number on your phone.

Remember that we have one day left before the big collision.

You have to decide today,

in order to receive the shelter pod

before the collision tomorrow.

This is our last live deal before the collision.

lf you buy it after the collision, it'll be too late.

Make the right choice and call us now.

"OUT OF SERVlCE RANGE" Huh?

Honey.

You're really going to do that right now?

l wonder how your mother ever raised you two...

-Balls and robots... -l'm a little offended.

Who installed the electricity and everything in here?

You went to KAlST University. lt's is the least you could do.

-lt's the end of the world and... -Honey.

Think of all the days we'll be spending in here.

Don't waste your energy already.

This photograph has just been released...

"FlRST lMAGE OF METEROlD REVEALED" My good old friend is on the news!

The meteoroid currently heading for Earth

Your friend?

appears to be of a certain ball-like form.

NASA and scientists everywhere are quickly analyzing this photograph.

"Q"... Cue for billiards. "KR"... For Korea.

According to some theories...

Today's date.

The symbol on the bottom of the sphere may be some kind of alien message.

No, that's not it.

Come on, intelligent brain!

Maybe she regrets not studying, now that the world is ending.

Skills are better than book smarts.

Skills last longer.

Just don't make us miserable by taking up something absurd.

-l think l love you. -l love you too, honey.

She took it the wrong way.

That's a useless hobby, not a skill.

Mom, Dad. Uncle Hwan.

That thing coming toward us...

That pocket ball...l ordered it.

l'll be a better dad, okay?

-l'll play less billiards. -We won't fight.

l know you're scared and confused, but we have to have hope.

-Mommy and Dad... -l'm telling the truth!

l really ordered that!

Don't you remember, Mom?

The day Uncle Hwan saw that UFO.

l saw a UFO on my way home.

Uncle Hwan.

What's your purpose on earth?

Seriously, l just looked up while coming up the hill,

and a silver saucer went whoosh...

That's my lD!

That's how we type our last name!

0109 is my birthday.

Today!

l found a weird website

-selling pool balls for ten cents. -For real?

lt swirled around when l clicked and the order went in.

l'm not lying!

Maybe it was a website for aliens!

l think l was wrong earlier.

Let's brush up on your speech skills before anything else.

l can't understand a word you're saying.

Are you mad because we forgot your birthday?

We've been a bit preoccupied, honey.

My baby girl.

That is why...

DR. LEE (SEMlOLOGlST) "DARTMOUTH PROFESSOR" Trying to analyze the "QKR01 09"

symbol we have seen will be nearly impossible.

Huh?

-What is this? -Mankind is not perceptive enough to...

l'll spend my last moments at home, praying with my family.

Min-seo.

Daddy knows how you feel.

lt's all right.

You won't believe anything l say anyway.

l'm going to go outside for a bit,

since this might be my last time.

What in the world have l done?

Bro.

Guys!

l know you're busy, but we need to talk.

You guys can ignore what l say like you always do,

but you shouldn't ignore Min-seo, your one and only hope.

Just like the UFO l saw a few years ago,

the idea of her eight ball meteor is certainly a bit absurd.

But what's important is that the world might end in a few hours.

According to Stephen Hawking's black hole theory,

things we can't humanly explain can sometimes happen in this universe.

The four of us becoming a family could be one silly phenomenon.

And according to Wheeler's wormhole theory...

Uncle Hwan!

Yes?

Stop talking bullshit and say something realistic.

Well, okay.

l've thought for years that this black hole phenomenon

could become linked through internet or cell phone signals.

And the fact that l saw that UFO is also strange,

because that thing l saw was real!

l looked through the browser history.

There really was one odd address.

Mom!

Something is weird outside.

The sirens are really loud.

Turn on the TV!

Ladies and gentlemen, l repeat...

Due to the meteor's sudden acceleration,

we now have twenty minutes and twenty seconds left.

We're also seeing strange weather

because of the meteor's influence.

Let's find out the current status of our weather report.

What's the weather report?

Nothing too special.

l see.

Then here's the last presidential address,

a bit ahead of schedule.

Let's connect to the Blue House.

We'll try again.

Blue House?

"LlVE AT THE BLUE HOUSE"

Yes.

We seem to be having some technical difficulties.

We'll try again next time.

Next time, when?

There is no next time.

Ladies and gentlemen.

l have something to confess before l die.

Let's confess after the collision...

Despite all the great guys out there,

l picked the man sitting next to me now.

l loved this married man with all of my heart.

But now this scumbag ditched me, for the young little reporter

KlM Song-yi. Now they're having an affair!

Before the world ends, and before the whole nation,

l'll have this scumbag...

No manners at all.

Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen,

l will carry out my duties as a broadcaster to the very end.

Why are you sitting there?

Well, l've always wanted to.

Can't l?

Today is our last show.

Why not?

l think you look sexier than Anchorwoman LEE.

l gave you everything, you bastard!

Just how? How can you call yourself a man?

-Damn it! -Do you love her?

Right.

"UBS APOLOGlZES FOR THE BRlEF lNTERFERENCE OF THlS BROADCAST"

l will remain composed and stay with our viewers...

Hey.

Couldn't we cancel or return the eight ball?

Let's try going on the computer.

"COLLlSlON APPROACHlNG! NORMAL PROGRAMMlNG lS SUSPENDED"

Uncle Hwan.

l can't understand what we're supposed to do.

Heck, even Einstein himself couldn't figure this out.

Uncle Hwan, what is this?

An enter key?

Let's try it.

l think it stopped!

Really?

What now?

Wouldn't clicking on the "X" stop it for good?

No!

These aren't symbols used by humans!

Wait! We need the electricity!

What do we do?

A muscle cramp? Now?

You should've listened to me when l told you to exercise.

l don't have time to exercise.

l worked so hard to let you keep up that hobby of yours...

Honey. Ow!

Cramps!

l don't know what to do!

Let's just click "X"!

-Pretty please! -Please...

No!

Mom.

Dad.

Uncle Hwan.

l never imagined not becoming a grown-up.

l ordered that eight ball so that...

l wouldn't let down Dad.

Mom.

Dad. Uncle Hwan.

l love you.

You know that, right?

Min-seo.

Happy Birthday.

"TEN YEARS LATER"

Honey!

Min-seo!

-Hold on! -Min-seo!

Min-seo!

Are you all right?

-What in the world... -l wanted to see its face...

They left already?

Just come out and look.

Oh my...

Talk about door-to-door delivery...

My good old friend, the eight ball.

Min-seo.

How did that eight ball get destroyed in the first place?

Oh, l don't know...

Maybe, it was just time for it to get destroyed.

Like this place.

We can't be the only ones that survived, right?

Of course not.

Mom.

Dad.

Come on, guys!

Guys!

l think l saw someone over there!

Hurry up!

Wait for us!
