EPISODE 10

(thrilling music)

Two murders and one assault.

I've agreed to step down if we lose him, so we must not lose him.

Not because of our bureau's mistake.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

The Ghost is where Kim Manok is.

You all wanted to go out to the field.

This is your chance.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

(elevator dings)

About what we heard at the lobby earlier...

Was Ms. Choi mistaken?

A misunderstanding?

Do you also want us to pretend to be deaf and dumb?

No.

I think, Ms. Chae, he just answered your question.

I think so too.

He doesn't deny it.

(scoffs)

Why did she bring you back so soon? There must've been a lot to find out.

(elevator dings)

MS. CHOI: Let's use Kwon Saeha as bait too.

If it wasn't the Ghost who released Manok and she still needs him,

she'll show up.

No.

Even if that's the case, she wouldn't come here voluntarily.

Then we should let him out.

The culprit?

And him?

I think you should see this.

106 MICROTESLA

(thrilling music)

106 MICROTESLA

SAEHA: Let's use Kwon Saeha...

...as bait too.

(sighs)

He's not completely useless.

(panting)

MS. CHOI: Along with the culprit.

It's time to put all our cards on the table.

(panting)

(suspenseful music)

(horn honking)

(motorcycle rumbling)

(computer beeping)

(beeping continues)

MS. CHOI: Find all organisms

emitting over 100 microteslas of electromagnetic radiation.

-What's the upper limit? -No limit.

(keyboard clicking)

Are you sure the Founder emits electromagnetic radiation?

You're also a scientist.

What's the normal level of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a human?

HEAD OF GRID MANAGEMENT TEAM: You don't need a scientist for that.

RESEARCHER: I think you should see this.

HEAD OF GRID MANAGEMENT TEAM: A normal person emits a very small amount.

Over 100? That means...

this person has frequently been exposed to magnetic fields.

Exactly.

There, 106!

(computer beeping)

No, that's Kwon Saeha.

The measurement has to be much higher than this.

Please.

EOJIN (over radio): Let's split.

Ms. Chae.

Mr. Kwon.

Whatever you do, do it alone.

-Don't drag Saebyeok... -I won't drag you into anything.

(suspenseful music)

Alpha has appeared. 34K3756.

That way!

MAJOR (over radio): That's 34K3756. 3755!

It's the next alley!

(computer beeping)

C1 and C2, stay in your position. You're to watch for Beta.

(tense music)

MAJOR: Over there.

Alpha.

Alpha 25K1754.

He's right next to Beta.

(panting)

(grumbles)

(device beeping)

(computer beeping rapidly)

Damn it.

Halt. Stand by.

(suspenseful music)

(panting)

(beeping)

Inform us of Beta's position. I repeat.

Inform us of Beta's position again. We don't see him here.

What do you mean, you don't see him? He's right between you two!

(device beeping)

What are you doing? What?

-(grunting) -Beta has removed the GPS tracker.

He's out of our sight.

MAN 1 (over radio): What the hell is going on?

(keyboard clicking)

HEAD OF GRID MANAGEMENT TEAM: Gosh, I can't locate him.

MS. CHOI (over radio): We've lost Kim Manok.

As for the signal, I think the Ghost showed up on purpose.

EOJIN (over radio): What do we do? Do we continue?

MS. CHOI (over radio): Retrieve Kim Manok.

(groans)

SAEHA: Tell me this is the only way.

Tell me this is worth it.

As long as the sun exists, the solar wind is a threat.

Both to your generation

and mine.

Did many people die in your time too?

(inhales deeply)

They would

without the Grid.

How many more need to be sacrificed to complete it?

Are there more left?

Among the people I know?

(somber music)

We've repeated this dozens of times.

To find another way.

Though it doesn't matter since you are all people in the past to me.

Yes.

It's for us to be born.

For my mom and me.

Then what about my mom?

If I'm gone too...

If she has no one to look after her...

(device whirs)

I'm not going to die for you.

Figure something out for your mom yourself.

(snorts)

You're shameless.

(scoffs)

I know.

When will it happen?

When will I...

How much time do I have left?

Mom...

I'm sorry, Mom.

(somber music)

I wanted to make it.

But I couldn't.

(somber music)

Kwon Saeha!

Saeha!

Saeha!

(indistinct chatter)

(somber music)

(birds squawking)

(foreboding music)

(foreboding music continues)

(car trunk clicks)

(horn honks)

(tires screech)

(suspenseful music)

(Manok panting)

Darn it.

-(tires screech) -(gasps)

Damn it.

Are you okay?

Detective. What are you doing here?

Why that...

Kwon Saeha!

He came this way for sure.

-I mean Kim Manok. -Yes, he's nearby.

Did you let him go on purpose?

A murderer in this crowded place?

That's why you shouldn't be here.

(exhales deeply)

SAEBYEOK: Where is that bastard?

My higher-ups already know that you're here.

Northwest?

It's that way.

Kim Manok recognized me.

How all of a sudden?

MAN 1: Hey!

Beta has removed the GPS tracker. He's out of our sight.

Is the deputy director out of her mind?

She's your boss. How could she put you in danger instead of protecting you?

Let me see.

Did he do this?

Did he?

Kim Manok must be full of spite now.

(pants)

So you must be careful too. He's more dangerous than ever.

That piece of trash.

Whatever happened when he was little,

he's been like that because he was hopeless in the first place.

I should've shot him when I first saw him.

-Did something happen? -Nothing between me and that jerk.

You didn't

happen to spot Manok, did you?

You came to the Administration Bureau, right?

(sighs)

Why?

I...

He and I...

Go on.

There's something I have to check.

And if it turns out to be true,

I'll nip it in the bud.

What the hell...

What is it you have to check?

We'll lose him. Let's go.

(foreboding music)

-(thuds) -(breathing heavily)

SAEBYEOK: No.

-MAN 2: What was that noise? -SAEBYEOK: Call 911.

-MAN 2: What? -Please call 911.

-My gosh. -Call 911.

MAN 2: Hurry up! Over here!

Look at me, Saeha.

Saeha. Look at me.

You'll be fine.

Just keep breathing.

(breathing calmly)

You'll be fine.

They'll come save you soon.

You can't die because of me.

You...

You knew...

(somber music)

(sobbing)

JONGYI: Saeha.

(sobs)

MS. CHOI: The Ghost is right next to you.

Ms. Choi...

-Saeha is... -JONGYI: She's right next to you!

(sobs)

(device beeping)

(tense music)

(in English) It's not me. Can't you see it?

(crackling)

(light music)

(device whirs)

SAEBYEOK (in Korean): You'll save him, right?

You're here to save him, right?

Are we really connected?

(crackling)

(gasping)

-What happened? -There were people here.

-Where did they go? -I don't know.

-They were here for sure. -Where did they go?

(indistinct chatter)

SAEBYEOK: Why?

Why?

I can't find her. We've lost her.

Go back one minute.

(computer beeping rapidly)

Is it broken?

That can't be. What's wrong with this?

(computer trilling)

It wasn't just one.

JONGYI: Ms. Choi.

Saeha is dead.

Ms. Choi. Can't you hear me?

CONDOLENCES

LATE KWON SAEHA

KWON SUKEUN GRAVE

Goodness.

WOMAN: She's outlived not only her husband but also her son.

How is she going to live now? Goodness.

How unfortunate for her.

(phone rings)

You took him.

You.

I clearly told you that I wouldn't allow it.

(Saeha's mom sobbing)

I told you I didn't want my son to work for the IRR or the Administration Bureau.

But you made...

You made him work...

at the place where his father died.

Didn't you?

He said he was on leave.

Why did he suddenly go to work? Why?

Why was a public officer beaten to death by a murderer?

Why?

What on earth were you guys doing then? Why?

-You took him! -Yes, go ahead, sir. It's okay.

(Saeha's mom crying)

Then there were two of them, not just one.

It wasn't an error.

We'll keep searching.

But I don't see the point of it.

What do you mean, why?

Only the Grid Control Team has the facilities.

How can the Secretariat afford such pricey machines with our current budget?

I'll tell you when I get back.

No, we're done here.

Yes, sir.

Open it.

(car alarm beeps)

(car lock clicks)

Can you drop me off on the way?

I'm going home.

Then drop me off there.

MEMORIAL GATE

SAEBYEOK: Are you going to take a cab?

We're almost here.

EOJIN: Yes.

Thanks.

Do you want to have a drink?

(phone buzzing)

Yes?

Hello?

EOJIN (over phone): The deputy director pushed him to admit it.

That's how I found out what he had done.

What are you talking about?

EOJIN (over phone): Kwon Saeha.

I was going to ask him that evening how he was entangled with Kim Manok.

I was determined not to let him go until he gave me a proper answer.

Where are you?

But why do I have to ask you about this?

How do you know all this?

Why are you the only one left to ask?

(approaching footsteps)

SAEBYEOK: Did you drink all evening?

Alone?

You turned me down, so...

(breathes deeply)

I didn't like him.

I never liked Kwon Saeha even before he got involved with you.

Involved? I didn't even know him that well.

I wish I hadn't known him at all.

Then he wouldn't have died.

He'd be sad to hear that.

You're pretty much the only person who remembers him properly.

At first, I thought he was just acting tough.

SAEHA: You can kill me later.

If I use it for some other purpose,

you can shoot me. I don't care.

When he told me to kill him...

I thought he was saying such a thing so easily.

There's old footage on the 13th floor of your office.

All the information about her is on the 13th floor of my office building.

Footage of the woman when she first appeared in 1997.

You saw that?

SAEBYEOK: In the footage, the woman kills

Kim Manok's foster father.

And someone helps her.

That must be Kwon Saeha.

Why did she kill him?

If she hadn't, neither the woman

nor the Grid would exist.

You too.

Why me?

You captured the woman.

And while doing so...

(bomb ticking)

(explosion)

...you were hurt.

Seriously.

I guess that's how he could go back in time.

If I had been fine, I wouldn't have given up the chance for anyone.

You helped him.

No way. Do I look like the type?

SAEBYEOK: Song Eojin.

You helped your colleague

and saved me.

Was it worth it?

I don't know exactly what happened in the past either.

But time was turned back,

and you came back to life.

Though I'm not sure if that's the right way to put it.

But...

the person who turned back time suffered a bigger loss while doing it.

Even after that...

his family was constantly used by the Administration Bureau.

It must have been how Mr. Kwon felt all his life.

He was ready to die at any time.

He lost his dad as a child,

managed to grow up...

and eventually died like that.

(inhales sharply)

I wish he had just lived his own life.

Why couldn't he?

(exhales deeply)

Get up. I'll take you home.

Though I don't know where to take you.

We were married for seven years, and I don't even know where you live.

But lately, we see each other

pretty often.

Right.

Now that it's all over,

let's become strangers again.

Is that what you wanted to tell me?

If you come see me like nothing has happened,

I'll have to act like that too.

I don't want to go back to the old days.

So that was...

when it happened.

The other day...

you suddenly asked me if I was okay.

That's when it must've happened.

(dramatic music)

It wasn't just a bad dream.

(tense music)

MS. CHOI: The Secretariat is reborn today.

We turned from an insignificant secondary department

to the core department, recognized for its competence and importance.

But we mustn't be content with it.

After time passes, those who try to diminish our power will rise again.

To stop them, we must always produce satisfactory results.

We must produce concrete results.

AGENTS: Yes, ma'am!

1 YEAR LATER

OLD LADY 1: Just grill and eat one of them.

OLD LADY 2: They're for sale.

OLD LADY 1: My goodness.

You won't live forever. Stop living like that.

-Gosh. Your mom is here. -(baby cries)

Mommy.

My goodness.

Sweetie. Your mom is here.

Are you finished?

-Yes, I'm done. -OLD LADY 1: I see.

Oh, my daughter. Did you have fun today?

Time to go home.

She's just a baby. She doesn't know what's fun yet.

(chuckles)

Thank you for looking after her.

Don't mention it.

I'm doing this because you pay me.

-I'll get going then. -OLD LADY 1: Okay.

Oh, right. I left some scorpionfish in the kitchen, so snack on them.

Thank you, as always.

-I'll be off. -Bye.

(baby cries)

Oh, dear.

It's time to eat.

-(chuckles) -(baby cries)

All right.

Ooh. Ooh...

You're eating so well, my daughter.

You must've been hungry.

(kettle whistles)

(sighs) My daughter.

When will you grow up and follow me to the sea to see me work...

and to many other places?

I hope time passes quickly...

No.

Time doesn't flow.

That's not how it worked.

Time...

-(kettle whistles) -(baby coos)

(tense music)

(kettle whistling continues)

(device whirs)

(whirring)

(crackling)

(tires screech)

Let's go. You need to leave here.

What are you saying, popping out of the blue?

I'll explain on the way.

If you don't leave now, you and Byeori will be in danger.

How do you know her name?

Who told you?

You did.

(foreboding music)

(kettle whistling)

(suspenseful music)

SAEBYEOK: Maybe this child isn't the one.

Even when she's grown up and a long time after that,

maybe nothing will happen.

But I've made my decision...

to finish what hasn't even begun yet.

Just like our traces have been erased, we don't see the path ahead of us.

(kettle whistling)

(button clicks)

(whistling faded)

SAEBYEOK: Drinkable water, breathable air,

thick forests, and many living things in them.

I couldn't prepare a car seat for the baby.

SAEBYEOK: This child may not be able to enjoy those things in the future.

Even without the solar wind,

we've already taken so many things from future children.

If I can give even one of those things back...

If my choice can protect them...

But...

I didn't expect that day to come so soon.

(ominous music)

(explosion)

(glass shattering)

(explosion)

Sir. It's all set.

(explosion)

MAN 3: The Grid is all gone.

From all the times and layers.

(in English) You never know.

(thrilling music)

(in Korean) No one knows.

Is there really an end?

(foreboding music)

(suspenseful music)

(closing theme music)
