L.U.C.A.: The Beginning

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual names, places, organizations, religious references, and incidents is entirely coincidental.

The episode was filmed with adequate accommodations to ensure the safety and the emotional well-being of the infant and minor actors used.

Previously My sweet baby, don't forget.

You are not a monster.

I'm sorry.

Why? You don't remember?

You succeeded once, as you said. Z-0

Let's make something like this one more time. Exit.

If something doesn't emerge at the next human sacrifice, close the lab.

They're either dead or missing.

Hey, you!

Is there any human who can do this with his bare hands?

Ji Oh, this bastard.

It's Ji Oh alright.

What a miracle!

He was your savior today. Get some beverages on your way to see him.

It's okay. I have money.

This is from our expense fund. You're part of my team now.

The information is from the police. It's called Dagyeong Resources. It collects waste.

It's been a while. Has it been a year?

Run away.

I said don't do it!

What's that? Hey, what's wrong?

Episode 2

Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Children of LUCA Team @ Viki

Sae Han Ave. 54th St. 8

Sir, it's Sae Han Ave. 54th St. 8.

I need backup right away.

Don't come at me!

Run away again,

if you can walk.

Why on earth are you doing this to me?

Because you won't listen. I asked you to come quietly.

There are too many people watching right now. This isn't the way we do things.

Gu Reum!

Gu Reum, hey!

Gu Reum, are you okay?

This is Sae Han Ave. 54th St. 8. An officer is injured.

Send an ambulance quickly!

What the hell just happened here?

You're saying he's at the hospital right now?

We have our guys on standby there. He's connected to a ventilator.

According to the doctors, he might not make it.

Did you do that to him?

Did you try to kill him for what he did to your arm?

I didn't on purpose.

You dealt with him once!

Don't you have the slightest idea how to catch him?

With a situation like that, you should've reported to me.

Didn't you say you trust my judgments when I'm out in the fields?

Damn you!

What happened?

What exactly happened?

Things got complicated.

- He's in the hospital. We need to assess the situation first. - How is his condition?

He's in critical condition.

We have no time to assess the situation!

They can't treat him there.

We must bring him in.

Shouldn't we first make sure he's out of danger before we bring him in?

He can't even get a blood transfusion there!

They wouldn't even have the matching blood type.

He wouldn't die, would he?

Although his cells regenerate better than normal human cells, in a critical condition he's still at risk of dying.

And if he dies?

If we bring him in here before his cells die, there might be something we could do.

Can you get him here?

Detectives are on standby in front of his hospital room.

Bring him here.

Even if he's dead, bring me his body. As soon as possible, in the freshest condition.

Okay, sir.

Take Yoo Na with you.

My team can handle this.

Just take her with you. She has improved now, so she'll be of use to you in one way or another.

You should stay in bed. They'll soon work on you.

What do you mean?

Did you eat?

I'm fasting, so I haven't eaten anything.

Will I really be able to use this leg again?

We can make it stronger than before.

I don't need it to be strong. Being able to walk would be enough for me.

That won't be enough for me, though.

If I receive the surgery, what are the chances of success?

Didn't I tell you?

You aren't getting a surgery.

To be precise, you'll be experimented on.

Say hello. He's the director of this research institute.

Your leg is in a worse condition than I thought.

Can you fix it?

Don't you know? We don't fix things here. We improve them.

Don't think too much. You entrusted your life to me, after all.

Let's proceed.

Aren't you hot running in this hot weather?

I wanted to test my leg.

How far did you run?

Twelve kilometres.

Your legs seem to function just fine. Let's go.

Right now? But my car is parked in the parking lot over there.

Go and get it. We don't have much time.

It's going to take some time. The parking lot is twelve kilometres away.

Follow me. We'll take my car.

-What about my car? - Get it later.

Daeyeong Hospital

This way.

Can't you send him somewhere else? We have Gu Reum here, too.

How could you bring him here?

One day is enough. Just one.

What if they come looking for him here?

No one knows.

I'm telling you. No one knows.

Really?

Let him just stay the night here. I will send him away tomorrow. Please.

Mom.

Sweetie, are you awake? Let's go back to bed.

Dad, who's that?

Go back to bed. I'll tell you tomorrow. Let's go inside.

Mom, do I have a baby brother now?

Hey, you.

Who are you?

Why are you in my house?

What's your name?

What's wrong?

Don't do that.

Don't do that. You're scaring me!

Dad! Dad!

Are you here, sir?

- Where? - In the Intensive Care Unit.

What the hell did you do to the kid? ICU?! Seriously.

Sorry, sir.

The kid was injured already. Radio standby would've been enough. Where's the ICU?

This way.

I wanted to avoid the guys when they jumped into the street. I ended up getting my driver side door jammed.

Luckily, my passenger side door still opened. So I told her to wait, but she wouldn't listen.

If you'd kept her in your car, she wouldn't be in the ICU!

The one in the ICU isn't her. The suspect is.

I thought you were asking where the suspect was.

- What about Gu Reum? - She's in the emergency room.

What did you do to her? In the ER?!

She has a slight concussion. It's nothing too serious.

Team Captain. This way, please.

Are you taking that off, or putting it on?

Are you worried about me? Or, are you just looking?

- I told you not to get hurt. - I got a scratch. That's all.

You should stay in bed.

I'm alright. What happened to the suspect?

You worry about yourself. Stay in bed.

I said I'm fine. Team Captain!

He has some herniated vertebrae and severe internal bleeding.

The doctors said there wasn't much they could do for him.

They said he might not survive the night.

What happened to the CCTVs on the scene?

At the time of the accident, more than a block of the street got a blackout.

The hard disks got all burned, and I could save nothing.

Why would a blackout burn the hard disks?

You can say that again. How strange.

Anything from the dashboard cams from the vehicles there at that time?

That's funny, too. All their memories were erased.

I wanted to hand them over to the Cyber Unit for restoration.

I find this strange, too. From the radius of the accident scene,

the cars looked as though they were pulled away in all directions.

As if there was an explosion. How strange.

What's stranger than that is

we can't identify his blood type and give him a transfusion.

I sent a sample of his blood to NFS (National Forensic Service) for now.

The doctors are amazed and dumbfounded all at once.

- Hey. - Yes?

Are you a reporter? It isn't your job to spread the seed of doubt.

- Just strange. - Investigate if you find things strange.

I'll kill you if you say one more time, "Strange."

Nothing makes sense about the crime scene either.

That isn't a crime scene. It's a scene of an accident.

It is a crime scene.

The doctors told me he got stabbed in both of his knees.

- Did he get stabbed? - Yes.

His workmate was thrown into the incinerator, and he was stabbed.

In other words, both of them were the targets?

I'm not entirely comfortable saying that when the suspect was stabbed right here and here.

If he was meant to be killed, he should've been stabbed here and here.

Seriously, everything is so strange.

I warned you not to use the word, 'strange.'

Team Captain!

I told you to rest. Why are you out here?

I didn't get hurt, really.

Blood means you got hurt.

You told me not to bother you even if I got hurt.

Having fun talking back to me?

- Yes, sir. - Yes?

How's the suspect?

I'm not sure whether he's a suspect or a victim at this point.

They say he might not make it through the night.

Can I see him quickly?

You were the last witness. Did you see anything strange?

I didn't see anything too strange except the rooftop.

There was a man.

Did you say there was a man?

What did he look like?

It was too dark and far to get a good look. But it sure was a man.

I'm right with this one. He stabbed the suspect and threw him off the rooftop, right?

I'm not sure that's what actually happened, or he slipped and fell.

But something stranger than that is...

What's stranger than that?

It looked like

an explosion happened.

Hey, you saw it, too? I told you I was right.

The spot where the suspect landed looked as though a bomb went off. He wouldn't believe me.

- Are you sure? - Yes, sir.

Are you sure about the man being on the rooftop?

Yes, I'm sure.

A probable scenario is the culprit, after killing Mr. Kim, went after the victim in the ICU for having witnessed his murder.

See if the victim has enemies and money troubles.

- You two canvass the accident scene for witnesses. - Yes, sir.

You, see if there's been an explosion accident within the incinerator plant.

And find out if the accident has anything to do with the blackout and the burning of the memory chips in the CCTVs.

You need to strengthen our surveillance effort and stand guard here 24/7.

Understood. Let's go.

And you.

Go home.

Why?

Why, Team Captain!

Come on, Team Captain!

Get in.

Seriously, you're overprotecting me.

If you keep ignoring little injury here and there, you end up like me.

I won't end up as bad in the physical condition as you.

Rest a few days. I'll kill you if you show up earlier than that.

By the way, I'm not as bad off as you think physically.

A blackout?

With the explosion of the PDB (power distribution board),

the five hundred or so households in the nearby area lost their electricity, causing much inconvenience.

The residents on the scene reported about a man lying unconscious.

The police remain largely silent except to say they're investigating if the man's state was caused by the explosion.

Although the authorities involved claim a PDB isn't likely to explode,

to the discrediting of their claim, they're forming a special task force for an internal investigation.

The explosion caused all the nearby CCTVs to malfunction [CCTVs malfunctioned. Citizen tips sought.]

Many reported their cell phones became inoperative.

I suddenly heard an explosion.

When I came out startled, I saw the situation and a man lying unconscious.

So I tried to report, but my cell phone had no battery.

I'm positive my phone had been fully charged.

The number of service requests to nearby phone repair centers today alone

has reached hundreds.

Yes, it's me.

Don't talk nonsense. How can a blood type be strange?

Well, listen.

If it's not human blood, are you saying we sent you a wrong blood sample?

Alright, I understand. I'm on my way. So wait.

Everyone, please be careful.

So that kid showed up?

Yes, we're doing our best to collect him.

The left side is slightly higher. Good.

I heard quite a large area lost power. It means his functionality improved, correct?

That appears to be the case.

Director, this may be a great opportunity, but...

Oh, be careful. This time, the left is higher.

You do realize this is the last chance, don't you?

How could I not know that?

You gave me a confident answer for a change.

This project should've been successful decades ago.

Do you realize how much time and money I wasted because that kid ran away?

Even God Himself wouldn't dole out an ordeal like the one I suffer.

He's in the hospital now, but I'll soon take him to the lab.

Rather than "I'll do this or that," I'd prefer if you say, "I've done this or that."

Do you know how many babies and pregnant women I supplied to help you extract cells from L.U.C.A.?

Please, work as hard as I do. We've got to create the Age of Glory together, don't we?

I'll make sure to collect Ji Oh this time.

You can go. I'll await good news.

The left side, a bit higher.

The right side.

The Age of Glory, my ass. You're nothing more than a cult leader.

Did you set the trap?

I did. Now I'm adding the noise to erase the images.

Oh, wait for me.

Thank you.

Hey, I told you to rest. Why are you here?

What's going on in there?

His heart stopped for a moment.

They say only Jesus and the game of go can be resurrected.

I guess they're wrong.

Can I go in for a moment?

What for? He's not even awake.

I just need to.

Alright. Go in.

He saved your life. Awake or not, you should go thank him.

Thank you.

Intensive Care Unit Visiting not allowed

We've met before, haven't we?

I clearly remember who you are now.

So you, too, have to get your memories back.

You have to remember what happened to my mom and dad.

They're transferring him to the ICU in the annex.

How do we get to the annex from here?

Go down to the lobby and past the storage room and the supply office. You'll see the passage to the annex.

Third floor, please.

Do you think we can ride with you?

This one's reserved for patients only.

You can take the regular elevator and meet us at the lobby.

Okay.

- Let's go, Gu Reum! - Okay.

Why don't you go ahead?

Hey, why? Come with us.

Hey, Gu Reum!

Don't you carry a chart?

Pardon?

You know, those charts that nurses always have on them.

I'm not on a round. I'm just transferring the patient, so I don't need a chart.

When a patient moves, his or her chart moves with them. Am I wrong?

I'll meet you up at the ICU in the annex.

You can't take the elevator reserved for patients.

It'll only take a second. Besides, nobody's around.

Get in then.

Runs on all floors (B3-10F)

Aren't we going down to the lobby? Why did you press 3 for ground level?

You won't shut up, will you?

What are you people?

- Split up and find them! - Yes, sir! That damn kid!

Sorry.

Hey, Gu Reum!

I'm not sure. I've lost them.

Lost them? Lost who?

Hey, I'm going to the security room.

You guys, close all the entrances and exits in the hospital and search the surroundings.

Set up checkpoints all over the surrounding area.

Are you okay?

Let's get going.

Limited access to personnel only

Linen Room

Gu Reum, what are you doing in there? Hurry, come!

Damn it.

Damn.

Do you understand even if you look at it?

Didn't you tell me to look?

You wouldn't know even if you look. That's the suspect's blood sent from the hospital.

But why can't you identify the blood type?

Isn't this defective or something?

It can't be as defective as you are.

The blood wasn't switched at any point?

That couldn't have happened. But even if it did, we should get a blood type, right?

So why is there no blood type?

I don't know if I can call it human blood.

So it's an animal's blood?

- No, not an animal. - Then what?

How can I explain this?

Say, the father's blood type is A, and the mother's is O. Then what is the blood type of their child?

A or O, of course.

But what if the child is AB?

Obviously not their biological child. How can an AB come from an A and an O?

But that really happened.

The parents were A and O, but their son was AB.

So everyone said he wasn't their biological child.

But a genetic test confirmed that he was their biological child.

- How? - The father's blood type wasn't A, but Cis AB.

It has characteristics of both A and B. A rare mutation that only exists in Korea and Japan.

So you're saying this is human blood.

No, its properties are a bit too different for me to say that.

Human or animal, there should be distinct blood properties matching its species, but there is none.

So it's human blood, yet it isn't?

Right.

Are you joking with me?

- Can you do something for me? - What is it?

Let me see the owner of this blood. I've got to run a few tests.

I can't. The process is complicated, and I don't know if he'll live or die.

What is it?

Does that make sense? How can someone near death run away?

What are you saying? Did he run away? Or, was he abducted?

Gu Reum, I'll take charge here. You guard the back gate with the other guys.

- Yes, sir. - Be careful.

Let's go.

Come this way.

Damn it, really.

Hey, watch it! Seriously.

Team Captain, he's headed towards Singi Station.

Hey, Gu Reum, just follow him. Don't take him on by yourself.

Mobilize everyone in the nearby police stations and set up checkpoints.

Here we go.

He was near death. But he got up and ran away!

You said his rate of recovery is two to three times better than ordinary humans.

He's exceeded the threshold.

What's the threshold? What's his breaking point?

That can't be calculated.

Feel free to calculate or speculate. But for now, can't you guess what the threshold may be?

An electric eel releases about 600 volts of electricity.

It can release more, but it doesn't. Do you know why?

Because its body can't withstand the impact.

No animal will use power enough to destroy itself.

That's instinct.

But Ji Oh isn't an animal.

He isn't human, either.

Ji Oh would've used all his power even if that meant his death.

With each repetition, he inadvertently kills the weak cells in him, preserving only the strong ones.

Likely, by now, he's burned up all his brain cells, too.

So he probably doesn't remember who he is now.

Excuse me. Sorry.

♫ I'm sorry. ♫

♫ I swear. ♫

Service unavailable.

The number you are calling cannot be connected.

Team Captain, I can't reach Gu Reum on her cell.

I'll scan the area with the guys. You go up to the situation room.

Yes, sir.

You, follow me.

No Unauthorized Entry

I've been waiting for you.

- Why? - Because I was curious.

- Curious of what? - Your eyes.

The way you look at me makes me wonder what horrible things I've done to you.

What way do I look at you?

The way when you see the person you'd love to kill.

You got it.

What have I done to you?

I want to know that myself. So I've been looking for you all my life.

I waited only because I wanted to hear what you'd say. I have nothing to tell you.

I'll get going. Don't follow me. Or, you'll get hurt.

Hey!

What happened to my mom and dad?

What are you talking about?

My mom and my dad!

Don't move. I said don't move!

Get away!

I've confirmed her going down to the platform, but I can't find her anywhere.

Oh, and I just received a report from a conductor.

What report?

He thinks he saw a person on Platform 11-3. No camera is there, so I can't confirm it.

11-3? Where is that?

It's an unused platform due to some architectural changes.

It functions as the place where the trains rotate their routes.

So where is it?

Well, I'll just go down and meet you.

Don't! You stay put and monitor the situation. Just explain.

Team Captain, look behind the pole in front of you. See a grey door?

Okay, got it.

He's dead.

So humiliating.

I think the police are here.

Hey there!

Mister.

Are you the one who called?

Is this where you saw the person?

Yes, I saw the person over there.

No one ever comes down here.

What is this?

This looks like blood! Blood!

I see the trail of the blood. It's human blood.

Looks like someone just got hit.

Did you hit someone with the train?

No, no, no. There was a person.

No, no. I don't know.

Come to your senses, and block any trains from coming this way.

What are you waiting for? Hurry and search along the tracks.

- Starting from over here. - Yes, sir.

Do not erase anything down there.

- Du Cheol. - Yes?

You've blocked the platform front and back, right?

Yes.

- And? - Yes?

Hurry and find Gu Reum. Phones don't work down here.

Would she have come down here? I told her to request assistance and wait.

But I'll go and see.

Can he have the heart of a human?

This is the first time I've seen him rescue someone.

Once we bring Ji Oh in, I'll give you one of his arms, and you put it on.

Do you think I killed them?

What I saw was the devil.

I was human until I was called a monster.
