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.

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

Previously Ji Oh! Stop it!

Do you realize how much money I invested in you?

Whose hand will you take? Work with me.

You're the only person I can trust right now, Team Captain.

Stop. It won't open anymore.

They cleaned up everything without a trace.

It's a piece of cake for me to clear the false accusations of the baby's mom.

But what about your daughter?

Having found my parents is a lie, isn't it?

Ji Oh's the killer. Why are you being like this when you know everything?

You are the one who killed him, Director. And he was such a good man.

The world is not prepared to accept a child like that.

- What if there were 100 people like you? - Don't come near me.

or 1,000 or 10,000? If that happened, no one would call you a monster.

What you want to change isn't the world, but the people in it.

Once the clones are made, we'll handle them, going forward.

Put his corpse alone into a body bag and bring it frozen to Juan Airport.

- Get out. - He is the bastard who killed your mom and dad.

You're not a monster, Ji Oh. But we made you to be one.

As long as we're gone, you won't have to live as a monster.

Don't go! I love you, Gu Reum!

Final Episode

Until you die,

you will never escape from them.

You should go. If you don't, you'll die too.

Your wife,

your daughter,

I'll kill them both.

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

What is it that you want?

I don't know.

If you've done this job for long enough,

you no longer know why you're doing it.

You just do it.

Do I have to die for this to end?

No.

When I die, that will also end it.

If you go now, you can live.

Ji Oh.

I no longer

have anyone I want to protect.

There's no reason for me to stay alive.

I'm sick of it.

Let's end it here.

Those pathetic bastards.

It's me.

I'd like to buy a powerful gun.

I'm not going to turn in my resignation. Why would I do that?

Think of it as a holiday gift, and get one ready for me.

I'll call you again, from a different number.

Let's take the car. My guys will clean up the mess.

Find Gu Reum first.

We need to clean up the scene first. For now, let's get going.

Find her!

Yes, I understand.

He tried to kill me. That bastard!

That bastard who was nothing but a worm that crawled under my feet.

Look at what he did to me.

Look!

You'll be fine after taking some painkillers and antibiotics.

You go and take care of Director Kim. No actually, bring him here.

So that I can explain to him why he must die!

Why are you being so touchy?

Why I am being so touchy?

I had a knife to my throat and you're asking me why I am being touchy?

-Please, stop it. -What did you say?

We'll take care of Director Kim ourselves.

You should focus on the internal issues.

What did you just say?

You see, no matter how stupid someone is,

we don't turn over our family member to others.

You think you guys are all that high and mighty?

-Yes, we are. -What?

Great, you came at the right time.

I'll call a few guys to help you, so go and get Director Kim here.

I've heard about you.

You're from the Intelligence Service, aren't you?

Go on.

Can you find someone for me?

I heard your wife took your baby and disappeared.

I will find her right away.

-What price are you willing to pay? -Hey!

Can't you hear what I'm saying?

- I can give you one thing that you want, whatever it may be. - Hey!

Fine.

-I'll use all my resources to—-What do you think you're doing right now?

Hey! Is finding Gu Reum what is important in this situation?

Do you think she's the only woman in the world?

She's the one person who helped me when the world had abandoned me. So watch what you say.

Watch what I say?

Now that a few people have kneeled in front of you, do you think you've actually become a king?

I'm the one who raised you to that status!

It's true that you did.

But you don't have the power to bring me back down to where I was.

Don't you know who I am?

Should I make Gu Reum a murderer again and put her in prison

and sell your daughter to an overseas laboratory?

Is that what it will take for you to realize who I am?

- Is that your plan? - Yes!

So you should know your place.

You filthy crossbreed mixed with animals, how dare you!

Let go!

Let go, let go, let go.

Get off of me!

Let me ask you again. Is that your plan?

Let go. Let go right now!

Ji Oh!

Ji Oh, I'm your mother.

I'm your mother.

Your son is a monster.

There's no way you would be human.

For now, let's do this.

We should close this place down and turn it into a research facility.

If you're going to make more kids, then you'll need more space anyway.

What about the believers who will come for church services this week?

We can send them to the leaders in other areas.

Oh and,

we need someone to manage this place in her stead.

Are you alright?

You are alright.

After all, you're not the child of just one person.

You are the son of every creature that's evolved for decades.

In the end, I am a monster.

You don't need to feel guilty about it.

Let's forget everything that has happened so far and focus on the future.

For Gu Reum

and for your daughter

to protect this place, propagating a new species is the only way.

We must make a new world of our own.

You gave me despair so you can find hope.

You should hope that my hope does not become your despair.

You should have never made something like me in the first place.

Please achieve your goals.

That's enough.

- Hello? - Seonbae, it's Gu Reum.

Hey, Gu Reum!

There was no one else I could trust, so I contacted you.

There is something that I have to do. Please take of the baby for a few days.

She eats well and doesn't cry too much either. So she won't cause much trouble.

Just don't be surprised if her eyes change color from time to time.

Even if I warn you ahead of time, you'll probably find it surprising.

I'm sorry about that. I will contact you.

I'm going crazy.

Can I see the items myself and give you the money then?

You ordered a cell-phone?

Take off your helmet, you bastard.

You bastards. I told you not to, but you still go around selling burner phones.

- You want to die? - No, you see, I only deliver...

I'm sorry.

The phone.

- Does this actually work? - Of course.

Our business is built on credibility, so our products are totally reliable.

- I'm sorry. - Do you know or not that this is illegal?

But are you... a police officer?

Answer me. Is this illegal, or not?

It's illegal.

- Then lend me some money. - Huh?

Lend me some money.

Yes, hello?

Seonbae, it's me, Gu Reum.

Hey, you brat. Where are you? What are you up to?

Did I do something wrong? Why are you doing this to me?

- What about the baby? - Is the baby the problem right now?

Yes.

Ah, yes it is.

Where is the baby? She's well, right?

Yes, because of that, I can't even speak to my wife anymore.

So I left the baby with my mom for now. But she's throwing fits, asking me if I made a baby out of wedlock and have a second family.

Forget it. What are you trying to do right now?

You saw the business card, right? Please track the location of the phone number.

Have you lost your mind? How can I find the location without a warrant?

Please do it. I received it from Team Captain.

You met Team Captain? When? Where?

Did something happen between you and Team Caption?

- I'm sorry Yu Cheol. - No way...

No, no, nothing happened. So, did you meet the Team Captain or not?

I'll tell you later.

Why later? Tell me now.

Seonbae, please track the location of the phone number.

I 'm asking a favor. This will be the last thing I ask of you.

Why should do that for you when I don't even know what it's for?

I entrusted you with my baby. It's the same as if I've entrusted my life to you.

Please trust me this just once more.

Never mind. If you want make a request of me, you should meet me and do it face to face.

Kim Cheol Su

The number you have called does not exist...

Please confirm the number again—

Damn it.

Why did you change your phone number again?

Where have you been these days?

We are everywhere and nowhere.

The bureau director is very angry

that you didn't submit your resignation as requested, and instead took a leave instead.

So did he tell you to get a resignation letter from me?

The organization has turned its back on you.

That is your special talent, Seonbae.

So you should think of it as a good life experience. There is nothing else you can do.

Look, I'm very cool.

You can trample on my ancestors, family, relatives, or career. I don't care.

But you shouldn't trample on my pride.

Even a lion, the king of the jungle, gets pushed out of the pride when he gets old.

But what can he do? He thinks he should at least eat to live, so he goes hunting alone.

But after hunting with his pride all his life, can he hunt alone?

He couldn't even catch a rabbit and starved to death.

What a pathetic way to spend his last years, isn't it?

Do you know why he failed at surviving? Because he didn't have a gun.

If that old lion had one last bullet left, what do you think would have happened?

Don't live too hard. You'll get old too.

Yes, you see Direction Kim, don't you?

That's right. He just left.

Keep him under surveillance for 24 hours and see what he's up to.

It doesn't show?

It's under a false name, and there is no match with this phone number.

It's a burner phone, and it's also been disconnected.

Even if he changes his phone he would still call the person he used to talk to.

Can't you narrow down the frequent calls made with Kim Cheol Su's number and track those down?

Do you think I don't know that?

Call records and location tracking can only be done with a warrant.

But there is no basis to request a warrant, is there?

Seonbae, you were investigating a violent crime case recently, weren't you?

I'm in the Violent Crimes department, so all are cases are violent crimes.

Say that the business card was found at the crime scene and submit it as evidence.

There is blood on that business card. Isn't that enough to get a warrant?

Seonbae?

You have a head for scheming. Where are you?

- I'm in the middle of shopping. - What a life of leisure you lead.

I'm buying some formula and diapers for the baby.

- You don't need to. I bought them already. - But still.

The baby is doing well.

I promise not to arrest you. So let's talk in person next time.

Later.

If you've really staked your life, you should attack, too.

I'm hanging up.

Dear You Formula

Are you alright?

Seonbae.

Here.

This person spoke to Kim Cheol Su once in a while. But a new number was added.

Here, the same number appears for this person, too.

This is the fourth week.

How do you feel?

How am I supposed to feel?

You are its father, since this was made from your cells.

These are all your children.

So they also won't consider me as their father.

It depends on what you do.

I was never interested in what my father did, but you are different from I am.

How many is your final goal?

- 10,000. - Why?

The world's smallest country is Vatican City, and its population is 10,000.

That's the reason?

I'm not sure, to be honest. It's just an image.

One Pope and 10,000 citizens.

You can be sloppy. I do like that part of you.

Here.

A home should have at least one of these.

This...

I have the data to create photos.

It's an edited photo, but it was done well, so it should be fine. If you don't like it, you can throw it away.

Gu Reum, look at this. I am not certain, but it seems suspicious.

Almost no traffic pattern, it exited the hotel at 6 p.m. and moved to this building.

And that is all.

The movement speed is fast. So they're traveling by car, aren't they?

- It appears that way. - Let's look into this building first.

It should be easier than the hotel.

How do we look into a building, just like that?

They're in a car, so they will probably move to the parking lot.

Ah, Seonbae. Please lend me your handcuffs.

Yes, Seonbae?

You arrived. Do you see anything?

- No. - But it's moving right now.

It stopped. I think they parked the car.

I don't see them, though.

They've definitely stopped. They are there.

Let's hang up for now.

What is this?

What? Is there a fire?

Detective Ha has come to Director Kim's office.

I understand. Keep a mark on her and capture her when the backup arrives.

Your wife was found. I will send my men.

- Where is she right now? - My men were dispatched.

- We will capture her, so just wait. - Where is she?

Why did you do it?

Ugh, I look ridiculous.

This is my last warning to you, do not injure my pride.

You will die.

This vermin b**ch. Do you know who I am?

I don't want to know. I only want to hear one thing from you. Why did you do it?

You should have known your place and not misbehaved. How dare such a lowly police officer mess with us?

Do you think you've won because you put cuffs on me? How would you like me to kill you?

How do you want to die?

Not that. Why did you do that to my mom and dad?

Why do you think? They are the same as you.

They annoyed me.

Do you know what your Dad said after he stole Ji Oh?

He has the right to live as a human being. Please let him go so he can live an ordinary life.

Where is the boy?

Please stop. You must stop.

That arrogant bastard, how dare he lecture me?

So that's why you killed him? Because he annoyed you?

We are the ones who make history, and you guys are the vermin.

Don't you know what happens to vermin if it crawls onto a human body?

Follow them.

Do you think I was the only one there when your parents died?

Did you think your vengeance would be complete if you catch just me?

You are the one who will get hurt in the end.

If you want to live even a few days longer, run away right now and live quietly as if you were dead.

Don't die acting foolish like your Team Captain.

I will praise you for having come this far.

Undo my handcuffs.

Are there really more people besides you?

I am the one who killed them, but if you include those who let it happen, covered it up and falsified the events,

how many people do you think were involved?

I don't know. You tell me.

It will all be revealed when an official investigation begins.

Did you record this?

We killed Ha Yeong Jae!

We also killed Team Captain Choi!

Submit that to a court. See if it's admissible as evidence.

Try releasing that to the media. See if there is a single line ever written about it.

Do you know whose side they are all on?

I know that they are not on our side.

But while we have no power, we have tenacity.

So let's take this case to the end.

Let's see if your power or our tenacity prevails.

Seonbae, this is Gu Reum.

It's over? You got him?

I got him, and I recorded the proof of the crime.

For now, go to our meeting place. After visiting my mom's house to get the baby, I'll go there right away.

Let's go.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.

Okay, okay.

Car key.

You couldn't catch one person?

Go after them.

I will send you more people, so leave your location tracking on.

Did you see that? Whatever you do and wherever you are, we will always find you.

If you release me now, I will take care of the false accusation against you.

Make sure to run away well.

If you get caught, your daughter will be experimented on for the rest of her life, and she will die a miserable death.

Shut your damn mouth.

Is this the right place?

I will confirm it.

They are on their way here.

Seonbae.

Is that Kim Cheol Su?

What about the baby?

Baby, it's alright, Mom is here.

Was my baby doing well?

It's alright. You missed Mom, didn't you?

I think you missed her more.

Sleep well.

I got his confession.

It won't be easy to be admissible as evidence, but it should be enough as investigation material.

What about you?

How about turning yourself in? How long can you be on the run with a baby?

If I turn myself in but my name can't be cleared, what happens to the baby?

That's true. That's a problem, too.

Once Kim Cheol Su's investigation is complete, my name could be cleared.

I will wait until then.

Alright, let's give that a try.

I put some diapers, formula, baby clothes, and a little bit of money in there.

Don't go to motels or saunas. You should sleep in a clean place.

Seonbae, I will repay you many times more.

Of course you should. It's my emergency fund that I've scraped and saved without my wife knowing.

I'll take that guy in, so you take the baby and leave.

Yes, Seonbae.

Gu Reum!

- Take the baby and leave now. - Seonbae.

I will stop him, so hurry and go.

Let's go.

- Hurry and look for her. - Yes.

Sharp Curve Ahead Slow Down

They are making me use my last bullet.

It's alright, it's alright.

♫ Your eyes, keep your heart ♫

-Don't go. -I'm sorry.

I'm grateful, and I loved you a lot.

Don't go! You can't! I love you, Gu Reum.

No!

Make sure to run away well. If you get caught, your daughter will be experimented on for the rest of her life,

and she will die a miserable death.

♫ in this life ♫

You can wait just a little longer, can't you?

Mom will come to get you soon.

So don't cry, and wait a little longer.

Okay?

Let's not get caught by those people, even if we die.

So make sure to stay hidden well.

♫ Your eyes, ♫

♫ keep your heart, ♫

♫ Your eyes, keep your heart, the hidden shadow ♫

♫ Shining through the light ♫

Just in case Mom can't come back...

♫ in this life ♫

... Baby, don't forget

that you are not a monster.

♫ So I am not afraid ♫

♫ Hold my hand ♫

♫ Let me hold you in my arms ♫

♫ I hope we can stay together ♫

♫ We don't have to run away, ♫

♫ like now ♫

Bingo.

We got her. We will bring her in.

You should not do this.

Where is the baby, Gu Reum?

Far away.

Far away where?

I don't know. I sent her very far away.

Everything is finished now. We can finally create our world.

I really liked your eyes in the past.

A puppy who longed for someone to touch him, even though he was scared to death.

That's how your eyes looked.

That look in your eyes has disappeared.

I was scared of everything.

Because I was different from others, but that's no longer true.

There is no reason that I have to become like others.

I know. I know it all.

But Ji Oh, I am scared more of people who have nothing to fear.

People like that are the people who ruin this world, in the end.

The world is already ruined.

I can't fix it, but I can give hope that things could get better.

That is what I want, and that is why people like me are needed.

Is that so wrong?

Consider what it means to clone humans.

You are cloning your rage. People should never be born due to rage.

I am not a complete human anyway.

And that is why I liked you.

Because you were incomplete.

Because I could fill what you didn't have.

So Ji Oh,

please come back.

You are the one who left. You come back.

Ji Oh.

Don't speak. We can go to the hospital.

Two... one... two...

I...

I... came back.

I would like for us to leave now.

Don't say anything. Don't.

Don't. Don't!

This crazy...

Okay.

Why did you do that?

Hold on... hold on...

Why did you do that!?

Because you're worth a lot of money.

Have you ever felt pain here before?

No, no... don't do it.

I know this for certain now.

A human is not a righteous existence.
