01x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

We covered the entire Earth

with the Grid in 2004.

They say if the solar wind

had come a year earlier,

two-thirds of mankind would have died.

If it weren't for this girl

We wouldn't be here now.

Magnetic fields

can no longer protect the earth.

I've seen the world without the Grid.

I don't think going back in time is

only for people in the 21st century.

We've been waiting for this person

for as long as 24 years.

We need to see it through.

The Korean government may be able

to do it in 2021.

If I meet the founder of the Grid?

Open this!

Then I've got to ask

this question.

How is time travel possible?

What's the future of mankind?

As the solar wind

that came around this time yesterday

damaged the ionosphere,

the world is currently facing problems

such as communication failure

and power outages.

According to experts,

this expl*si*n caused materials on

the surface of the sun to release as well,

so strong UV and X-ray radiations

might reach the Earth's surface.

Therefore, you should refrain

from going out--

Hey. Are you home?

Don't be scared. It's nothing.

Yes. I'll soon

Saeha. Can you hear me?

SON

Saeha.

Can you hear

Mom

Mom!

OUT OF SERVICE AREA

Everyone, get inside!

Go back to the classroom, everyone!

Hurry up!

Get your things and get inside safely.

JUNG SAEBYEOK

Jung Saebyeok! Hurry!

Rumors that all species

on Earth will extinct are groundless.

Even if the Earth is

exposed to the solar wind

If we lived in the Stone Age,

even in cases of huge solar flares,

the damage will be only limited

to fires and injuries.

But we're living in the digital era

with cable and radio communication,

where everything can be controlled

by pressing one button.

The biggest problem would be

an "internet apocalypse."

If we lost the internet,

everything in this world will halt.

Importing will be disrupted.

People will suffer from famine

on a wide scale

not because of food shortage,

but because every plane and ship

in the world

will stop operating.

Even if we restore it,

it's no use if the export countries fail

to restore it.

The first quarter

of 2005 has only just begun

and the loss amounts

to one billion dollars.

Nine thousand households

are left without power

after Hydro-Québec's transport systems

caught on fire.

Sir. It's all set.

Now all we have to do is connect it.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, sir. We'll begin.

Thank you.

We hope so too.

Shield transmission is starting.

Will it work?

It must.

That's right.

Three seconds left to connect the Grid.

Two, one. Connect.

Did something go wrong?

What's the problem?

Why isn't it working?

Did we connect it properly?

Did we fail?

I think we need to check.

Did we make any mistakes?

Did we fail?

Why isn't it working?

Hey, guys. It looks fine now.

Really?

Gosh, it's a relief.

-Gosh.

-I was really scared.

Hey, Jung Saebyeok!

Are you okay?

The northern hemisphere all connected.

-It's fully running.

-Southern hemisphere is also connected.

The magnetic fields are connecting

to the coronal loops.

Sir. It's a success.

Please tell him that it's all connected.

Yes, it's a success.

Thank you.

Good job, everyone.

Good job, gosh.

Good job.

Gosh, it was really

She was right

after all.

EPISODE 1

OCTOBER 30, 2021

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Hello?

I need a set of garbage bags, 10L ones.

Thank you.

Ah!

Hello. 911 Emergency Services.

Someone is unconscious here.

I'm at a convenience store

near Green Apartment in Pyosudong.

That one.

When I walked in,

I smelled nothing but cup noodles.

And I think he was holding a beer can

when he walked out of the store later.

You thought he was a part-timer

at this store,

but he was holding a beer can?

I thought he was a part-timer

cleaning up or something.

Here's the cup ramyeon

the suspect supposedly ate.

This man.

This fellow?

Welcome.

What? Look at him.

He paid cash.

Did he plan to k*ll him?

Or did he not have a credit card?

The victim is saying something here.

Did they know each other?

You think it was a grudge k*lling?

What is he saying? Rewind it.

"Excuse me, sir.

You can't drink alcohol in here."

-Who?

-He told the suspect

not to drink alcohol in the store.

The victim did? How do you know?

That's what he said.

Right. I think he's right.

When he opened the can here,

the victim said something

looking at the table.

He must've heard the can opening.

-Can I go now, then?

-Sorry?

-Hey, can he?

-Yes, I got his number.

All right.

What about the fingerprints?

-Well

-My gosh. It's all smudged.

-Just a minute.

-We can't use any of these.

Gosh, this is not good.

Jeez.

His fingers must be covered with calluses.

He must've done hard labor

for a long time.

People who do hard labor are

the hardest to identify. Jeez.

Huh?

-Hey, keep playing.

-Yes, sir.

He's saying something again here.

Should I rewind it?

Wait, sir.

You can read people's lips, can't you?

So?

The victim told the suspect

not to drink inside, but he ignored it.

Here. What is the victim saying here?

It seems that the suspect

heard him say something

and followed him to the storage room.

I'll show you again.

"What an ill-bred punk.

Did he grow up without parents?"

I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry.

Is there no security camera

in here?

There is one.

But it's behind a box.

That man bought garbage bags here.

I'm sure he doesn't have any plans.

I guess his wife nags him

if he makes her wait.

He just doesn't want to get involved.

You know how people are these days.

Let's see.

Did he stab him in a fit of anger

because he said he was ill-bred?

If this is a random m*rder,

it's going to be a headache.

-Hey.

-I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

No, it's okay. By the way,

I definitely saw garbage bags here

I'll take care of this.

And I'll pay you for the extra work.

No, it's just once in a while.

I've worked many places,

but I've never seen anyone

as devoted to their parents as you are.

I see.

-Good night.

-Bye.

What an ill-bred punk.

Did he grow up without parents?

What a prick.

Suspected

of ill*gal land speculation?

ARREST FOR ill*gal LAND SPECULATION

CONVENIENCE STORE m*rder SUSPEC

GIVES POLICE THE SLIP

The suspect,

who brutally m*rder*d

the convenience store owner and fled,

boldly returned to his hideout.

The police found his whereabouts

after investigation

but failed to arrest the suspect,

as you can see in this tip-off video.

Despite mobilizing

dozens of police officers,

they lost the suspect

right in front of their eyes

and are having difficulty

tracking him down,

making the nearby residents alarmed.

PARK JUNG DO

CHECK FOR RESTRICTED ITEMS!

What was that?

A razor. I worked late last night

and got up late this morning.

I don't even have time to shave.

I don't have time

to grow out my mustache.

We all work on the same floor,

but some people

always get off work on time,

-and we always

-Exactly.

Shouldn't their pay get transferred to us?

Why do you always work overtime?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Let me through.

You can't finish work on time?

It's not that.

Our work is so important that

we must keep an eye on it 24/7.

That's why we have three shifts.

Exactly eight hours per shift.

But you still work overtime?

It's because he's very responsible!

Hey, you're here.

Yes, I'm here, as you can see, Jongyi.

Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning, ma'am.

Thank you.

You must be pleased that Ms. Choi

caught you emptying her trash can.

After some legwork,

we found out that suspect Kim Manok

And the whole criminal investigation team

of Songje Police Station

Okay.

STATEMENT ON MISSING OR DAMAGED EQUIPMEN

Here!

What?

-What's going on?

-Is he there?

-I got him.

-You did?

-What's going on?

-You got him?

Damn it!

Hey, you b*stard! Stop there!

Huh? What's he doing?

Hey!

-Come down!

-Hey, hey!

He's getting away!

Get down here!

Let go of me.

Hey, Saebyeok!

-Come down, you punk!

-Don't follow him!

-Where are you going?

-Saebyeok! Don't go up!

She's going to fall.

It's dangerous!

-Oh, my goodness. Oh, no.

-Goodness.

Come down!

Saebyeok! Don't go up!

Get down here!

-Hey!

-Hey, you jerk!

-Don't come out!

-Hurry!

-Oh, be careful!

-Damn it!

-Go up to the rooftop.

-Yes, sir.

Hey, Saebyeok.

Hey!

Hey! Don't sh**t!

-Hey, get down here!

-Be careful!

Hey! Bring a cutter!

Hey, let go of the rope!

I got you!

He got her!

Climb up!

-Go.

-He got her!

To the rooftop.

Gosh, there's no way out.

Where did he go?

-Huh?

-Mr. Go!

There.

-What's that? A ladder?

-Yes.

-Damn it!

-Damn

Hey. He went over to the next building.

That way.

He already got away using a ladder!

Hey, go this way.

Damn it. Where did he go?

Hyunjun! Is he not there?

-No.

-Gosh.

Damn it.

Move forward slowly.

Get down on the ground.

"A woman presumed

to be an accomplice"?

The taser was damaged when I

dropped it while being attacked by a woman

presumed to be the suspect's accomplice.

Hey, you just lost him.

Why are you talking nonsense?

You should stay quiet.

She really vanished into thin air

right before my eyes.

How are we going to find him

this late at night?

We almost caught him.

That was so close.

This evidence means

that he has an accomplice.

Yes, he obviously does.

Who do you think threw down

the rope for him from the rooftop?

But you're saying

that accomplice was a phantom.

She disappeared like a ghost?

Hey. Who would believe that?

Damn it.

AFTER THAT, THE WOMAN

SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR

"Suddenly disappeared

into thin air"?

After that, the woman suddenly

disappeared into thin air,

so I couldn't arrest her.

SKETCH OF THE ACCOMPLICE

She's presumed to be

m*rder*r suspect Kim Manok's accomplice.

Therefore

I'm now trying to identify her

and track her whereabouts.
