SISYPHUS: THE MYTH

ALL NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

Hey.

You woke up.

Hey.

I'm sorry. I know you told me to hide.

By the way,

you hurt your hand.

I disinfected the wound, but are you okay?

Of course. A wound like this
is no big deal in the future.

-What about that jerk?
-He got away. And Sigma too.

I'm getting my guys
to gather some intel on him.

Then do we dig around Kim Dong-hyeon?

No.

Then what?

Even if the world falls to pieces,
we should take a rest today.

Why all of a sudden?

Because it's your birthday.

Gosh, have you forgotten who I am?
I'm Han Tae-sul.

Hey, I invented a time machine
and even found Sigma.

Of course I'd know your birthday.

Happy birthday.

Why don't I take you somewhere?

Where?

SISYPHUS

HAN TAE-SAN

-Are you having fun?
-Yes.

Then it's all good.

-What are you staring at?
-What? Nothing.

You said you hate amusement parks.

Are you having fun?

Yes.

Then it's all good.

Mom!

What is it?

Never mind.

Wow!

Hey, what are you doing?

-Why not?
-I'm not wearing that.

There's nothing in the future.

No people, no food.

My mom passed away during the w*r,
and my dad…

I've never done things like this.

What does that have to do…

Jeez, give me that.

Why are you laughing?

What?

You actually put it on? Are you an idiot?

-Hey!
-Why take it off? It looks cute.

Roar.

Tae-sul!

Who are we waving at?

Oh, gosh!

Why do people ride that thing?

Let's ride the pirate ship after this.

-No way.
-Why not?

Go experience a plane crash,
and we'll talk.

It's the most thrilling ride ever.
You go ahead.

No. What if something happens
when you're alone?

Fine, let's do it.
I guess I'll just faint two more times.

By the way, what will you do with Sigma?

All of a sudden? That's so random.

I had my guys find out who lives there.

Be it his real identity, face,
or even a receipt from a store.

Even a small clue will help us find him.

Then what?

I'll fix it

since I ruined everything.

My brother, you, your family, me,

and all those people.

So if we manage to find him,
I'll fix everything.

After all, it's what I'm good at.

I'm curious about something though.

Let's say we beat Sigma.

Then what will happen to you?

Will you disappear like you did last time?

Because there's no uploader,
and you're from the future?

Probably.

Here.

I booked a pool villa in Hawaii
for November 1.

I'd say we deserve a vacation
if we save the world from a nuclear w*r.

-November 1?
-That's right. November 1.

But why are there two tickets?

You don't think I deserve a vacation?
I've been through a lot too.

What's with that look?
What are you thinking?

Hey, open it up and see.

I booked two separate villas.

And I can't believe
you already finished your churro

when we're having a serious conversation.
It was well over 45cm.

Goodness.
Stay put, and don't cause any trouble.

-Where are you going?
-To get coffee.

I want ice cream.

Hey, didn't you say earlier

that I shouldn't be left alone?

It's right there. I can see it from here.
Hurry up.

Where does all the food go into?

Try living on canned food for 15 years.

Hurry. The parade begins at three.
Let's watch it after the pirate ship.

Ice cream! I want ice cream!

Ice cream? You already finished that?

Mom!

No. You already had a churro.

And you have to have dinner
when we get home.

-No!
-Gosh. I said, no ice cream.

Hi, honey.

Mom!

-Mom!
-Gosh, okay. Hold on.

Here, sweetie.

See that ice cream stand over there?

-Yes.
-Go get one.

Hello?

When will you be here?

What? It's Seo-hae's birthday today!

I understand that work is important,
but still…

I don't know. You tell her yourself.

Excuse me. Could you pick those up for me?

-Sure.
-Gosh.

Which flavor?

I want the vanilla flavor.

Vanilla, Mango, Chocolate, Pistachio,
Strawberry…

-Which flavor?
-Vanilla, please.

-Sure. Enjoy.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Vanilla, Mango, Chocolate…

Oh, I'm sorry. Do you want to go first?

Thank you.

-My gosh.
-Thanks, Mom.

You're the best, Mom! This is so awesome.

One strawberry, please.
With the syrup and sprinkles on top.

Sure, no problem.

I'll get the exact same thing.

Sure.

Hi, Dad. When will you be here?

It's boring here without you.

No way. Next time? When?

You have to come with me next time, okay?

Okay. Promise! I love you too.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Well, it's just that you remind me a lot
of someone I know.

Your name is Seo-hae, right?

How did you know?

I know everything because I'm a genius.

Are you here
because it's your birthday today?

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

Oh! I have the exact same necklace.

What a coincidence. My gosh.

Miss, are you all right?

Thank you.

Great, thank you.

Mister, have we met before?

No, not yet.

NO CALLER ID

Mr. Han Tae-sul?

My gosh, you surprised me.

You even broke into my place.

And I thought you were a gentleman.

Are you Sigma?

The headband looked great on you.

-Where are you?
-Do you want to meet me?

Of course I do.
Stop hiding like a rat and show yourself.

Is it the girl or the world? Pick one.

What's this nonsense about?

I want to meet with you now,
but just the two of us. That girl…

What was her name again?

That's right. Seo-hae.

You see, that girl…

I reported her to the Control Bureau.

What's wrong, miss?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

You can either go there and save her

or come here to meet me.

Just pick one.

Catch me to avenge your brother
and save the world from w*r,

or go save the girl.

The choice is yours.

The girl or the world?

Get her!

Seo-hae!

Get her!

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae!

-No!
-My gosh! No!

Gosh.

-Mom.
-My daughter… Seo-hae!

Mom…

Mom!

Let go!

No!

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae!

-Seo-hae!
-Mom!

Seo-hae! Thank goodness.

-Are you all right?
-Yes.

Seo-hae!

Seo-hae! Stop!

Stop!

Hey, Seo-hae!

OCTOBER 31, 2020

Seo-hae.

Seo-hae.

Close the window. It's unsafe.

Mom, where are we going?

Where are we going?

Do you have your seat belt on?

Of course I do. Where are we going?

Well…

-To your aunt's.
-Aunt's house? Really?

Does that mean
I can skip my English lesson today?

Yes, you can.

Awesome!

Oh, right. Seon-u wanted

to come over after the lesson today.

Call now and say you can't hang out today.
Tell your friend to go home.

I spoke to Seon-u earlier on the phone.

Come here.

Everything will be fine.
We still have some time…

Honey.

Mom, I think I passed the job interview.

Yes! They only asked
what I was prepared to answer.

How about some chicken and beer
this evening?

-Hey, look.
-What's that?

MOM

APPLICANT ID CARD

Dad, wake up.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, wake up.

Dad.

Please save my dad.

Dad! Open your eyes!

Mom!

Honey.

Hold on tight.

My gosh.

It's okay, Seo-hae.

Seo-hae.

Seo-hae, are you all right? Seo-hae.

-g*ng Seo-hae!
-Yes?

Nothing bad will happen to us,
so don't worry.

Just keep your eyes closed.

Mom! Where are you?

Seo-hae!

Are you all right? You're not hurt?

Are you not hurt?

-Seo-hae, are you all right?
-Dad.

-Are you okay, honey?
-What about you?

-Let's go.
-Is that a g*n?

Get up, quick. Let's go.

Ye-ji!

Ye-ji!

-Ye-ji! Sweetie, come with Daddy.
-No! Get off of her!

-Come on, Ye-ji.
-Hey, what are you doing?

-Ye-ji.
-No!

-Get yourself together!
-My gosh.

-Ye-ji!
-Damn it!

-Come here.
-Ye-ji!

Ye-ji!

Ye-ji!

Dad, where are we going?

Dad! I want to go home.

-We can't.
-Why not?

Wait.

Honey.

Has it gone off already?

No, not yet.

If it was a nuke, we'd be ablaze now.

Let's go.

Honey, wait here for a moment.
I'll go look.

It's okay. You must have been scared.

-Seo-hae.
-Yes?

From now on,
you must stay strong no matter what.

No matter what happens, okay?

Ye-ji!

-Ye-ji, sweetie.
-No!

Give me back my daughter!

What the hell?

Mom! Are you all right, Mom?

What's your deal? You jerk!

Honey.

Honey, are you okay?

Honey!

Mom…

-Hold on.
-Come on. Let's go.

We'll find some medicine
when we get there.

-Run!
-Hurry!

SHELTER

Just a second.

What's wrong?

SHELTER

Why won't it open?

-It's working.
-Yes.

Honey, just a little more.

-Go on in. Go!
-Let's go inside.

AUTOMATIC SWITCHGEAR

Darn it.

What's wrong? Is it stuck?

We only have three minutes left.

Can't we just go in?

That one door inside
won't protect us from the radiation.

Hang on.

Mom?

AUTOMATIC SWITCHGEAR

Seo-hae.

I have to step outside to close the door.

But if I do that,

I won't be able to come back in.

No. Don't go, Mom.

Seo-hae, look at me.

I'm smiling, right?

I'm so glad that you've made it here
safe and sound, Seo-hae.

Listen carefully, Seo-hae.

There will be a lot of
tough challenges ahead.

The world as we know it no longer exists.

There's nothing to make you smile,
and there's no clean air.

No yummy food and no friends.

But don't give up, no matter what.

Never give up.
You must get through it, okay?

You must live even if it's so unbearable
that you don't want to go on.

I'm just going on a long trip,
somewhere far away.

That's a lie!

No, it's true.

I've been to the future,

and I know that we'll meet again.

You see,

when you're all grown up,

I'll be there to see what an inspiring,
beautiful lady you've become.

I promise.

And…

I love you.

Honey!

What are you doing?

Just let me do it.

No.

You know I can't hold out much longer--

Stop!

Think about our daughter!

We promised each other
that we'd only think about Seo-hae.

Honey.

I'm so happy that I made it here
with the two of you.

Take good care of our little girl.

Keep her safe
and make sure no one ever hurts her!

Eun-hui…

Mom! No!

Mom!

Mom…

Mom!

Mom, don't…

Mom, please don't do it. Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Honey!

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
PRESENT DAY

Come out.

Show yourself!

Show yourself! Now!

Uncuff me. Let me go!

You jerks!

Uncuff me. Now!

Show yourself. Uncuff me!

Show yourself. Hey!

You'd better uncuff me. Come out!

Hey!

Hey!

That little…

Come out! Show yourself!

Come out. Now!

Uncuff me. You'd better uncuff me now!

-Wait outside.
-Pardon me?

I said, wait outside.

According to our rules, you can't
interrogate her as she k*lled your mother.

No. I caught her,
so let me interrogate her, sir.

You b*stards!

-Uncuff me!
-Sir!

Let go. Let me go!

Sir!

Hey! Uncuff me!

Damn it…

My, we finally meet like this.

The success rate of crossing over here
is less than ten percent, right?

You'd probably think
it's because of the machine malfunction,

but that's not the reason.

Behind your eyes,
there's the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

It controls the biological clock.

The FOS proteins take in
the circadian rhythm

and give us a sense of time.

The mutation of the genes
that are involved in this process

determines the success of time travel.

This shot causes mutations
of those very genes

and breaks down the FOS proteins.

Let me put it simply.

Once this is injected,

it'll start breaking down
the downloaded folks into atoms.

So eventually, you'll end up
floating around in that state.

Two more injections, and you'll
completely disappear like a ghost.

So you'd better answer my questions.
Do not lie.

We know everything.

g*ng Seo-hae.

Born in Seoul on September 30, 2012.

Your parents are Lieutenant g*ng Dong-gi
and Lee Eun-hui, right?

Good. Why did you approach Han Tae-sul?

What are you two up to?

On the last day,

something happens, right?

You said you guys know everything.

So why ask me?

Get in there!

Hey, Seon-h*.

Seon-h*, get up.

Are you all right, Seon-h*?

Are you okay? Hey, look at me.
Are you all right?

Um Seon-h*!

-Open your eyes.
-Are you okay?

Hey! Anybody there?

You Control Bureau jerks!
Is anybody outside?

Hey!

Seon-h*!

Seon-h*!

Be quiet!

What time is it now?

-What?
-I asked you what time it is, you idiot.

I don't do deals
with you Control Bureau jerks.

But I'll make an exception today.
Here's an enticing offer.

I'll walk out of here

tomorrow afternoon.

You're insane.

You'll attempt a jailbreak?

A jailbreak? Of course not.

I don't go against laws or rules.

I bet you're dying to know
how I'll get out of here.

Listen carefully.

This door will open wide.

Then I'll get my boys
and walk out of here.

As soon as I leave this cell, I will k*ll
every single one of you that I see.

But you see…

I will spare you.

You're crazy.

You're right. I'm crazy.

But when someone helps me out,
I always return the favor.

See that guy who's passed out over there?
He's got a kidney problem.

So he has to take his medicine on time.

I'm sure you guys found the pills
in his inner pocket when we got here.

Bring those pills.

You've clearly lost your mind.

Yes, I've lost my mind.
Before I completely lose it and k*ll you,

go get those pills.

If he doesn't take them soon,

he'll die.

Hey, just swallow this. Here.

Here's your pill. Swallow it.

Just swallow it.

Good.

Thank goodness.

Gosh. Are you going to
keep wasting time like this?

-What?
-Aren't you going to look for her?

Look for her? How?

Will this thing tell you where
they took her if you keep staring at it?

I guess you don't know about them.
They even have g*ns!

Oh, is that right? I didn't know.
Thanks for telling me.

-Where are you going?
-I'm going to look for her.

You can keep staring at that thing.

Get back here.

Come on, quick.

Hey, which bridges over the Han River
have subway tracks on them?

The Dongho Bridge and…

Cheongdam Bridge, Dongjak Bridge…

That's it. Why do you ask?

Are you sure?

Yes!
I worked as a food deliveryman for years.

I didn't ask that.

My starting point…

was around here.

-Your destination is 48km away.
-Turn it off.

It was 48km away
from the final destination.

We drove nonstop for 30 minutes.

After crossing the Dongho Bridge…

OGEUM

-Apgujeong.
-After passing Apgujeong…

Was there a baseball game in Jamsil
on August 14?

There was. Doosan versus KT.

Doosan won.
They turned the tables in the ninth.

There must've been a lot of noise.

After that…

"Immigration Control Bureau"?

Aren't you going a bit overboard
with immigrant management?

They're dangerous.

I also remember hearing some sirens.

-From police cars?
-No, it sounded different.

An ambulance. Any hospitals in the area?

Asan Medical Center is here.

And…

This must be it, Jaae Hospital.

Why?

Kim Seo-jin used to work here.
This hospital is run by our foundation.

Sir?

How is it going on with the MSIT?

As I've mentioned,
the R&D team isn't thrilled.

They need more time to change the plan.

But it's already been days.
I want the report by this afternoon.

I don't care about anything else.
We just need to wrap this up nicely.

What about the assemblyman?

He's working on new bills
that will affect the project.

They'll be proposed soon.

Our R&D team is also--

My gosh.
Look at you working hard, Seung-bok.

What's this? Quantum & Time can function
just fine without me after all?

Hello. I suppose you're all doing well?

What's going on here?
You're all looking much better now.

Is it because I'm gone?

You were never around from the beginning.

How did you get in?

What do you think? I'm the one
who designed the security system.

Why are you here?

I need you to write an official letter.

My gosh, you even have a nameplate now?

Seung-bok, you've finally made it big.
You're a CEO now.

QUANTUM & TIME
CEO EDWARD KIM

VISIT TO SPONSOR JAAE HOSPITAL

Why are you going there?

To sponsor them.

Just send the money.

You know I'm not the type
to do good deeds in secret.

You never came to the funeral.

What? Whose funeral?

You heartless jerk, have some decency.

The chairman was like a father to us.

You couldn't have come this far
without him.

Oh, him.

The man who locked my brother up
in a psychiatric ward

and made me look like a lunatic
to confine and t*rture me?

Hang on a second.

Weren't you also in on it?

What are you doing?

Why are you glaring at me like that?

I'm the victim.

Why do you need to go to Jaae Hospital?

-Because Seo-jin is there?
-No.

She was really devastated.

You can't do this to her.

Isn't it the other way around?
She can't do this to me.

You too, you conniving b*stard.

-Hold on. What are you doing?
-You b*stard…

Is it okay to exercise violence
because you're the CEO now?

I should record this as evidence.

You've come a long way.

-Goodness.
-Damn it.

You crazy jerk.

Leave. And don't ever come back.

You're not the CEO anymore.

You're nothing here.

Right.

Okay.

Did you see him?
Did you get what you needed?

Yes.

You're empty-handed.
Don't you need an access card to get in?

What? What is it?

Darn it. You're too tall.

You look too kind because of those eyes.

Try to make them look mean.

Try your best.
Make them look mean and obnoxious.

Oh, that's it! But lose the double lids.

That's it. You look just like him now.
This right here…

-What are you doing?
-Look! Let me fix your hair.

-My hair is my everything.
-You need to do the side part!

-Do you have hair mousse?
-Who uses hair mousse these days?

JAAE HOSPITAL FLOOR PLAN

Image.

Look.

It seems like a normal hospital.
But in the basement…

Basement level one, two, three,

and four. Basement level four.

It's the only floor
without communication cables.

What does that mean?

Those jerks… No wonder
I couldn't get a signal on my phone then.

What?

NO SERVICE

That's the place. They're all in on this.

This must be where Seo-hae is right now.

It's been a while.

Pardon me?

Oh, I didn't know we have met before,
Mr. Kim.

"This makes me sad.
Remember the New Year's party?

I guess you don't remember me
because I wasn't the CEO."

Gosh, this makes me sad.
Remember the New Year's party?

I guess you don't remember me
because I wasn't the CEO then.

My gosh, that's not true.

Mr. Edward Kim. I remember you, of course.

I doubt you do.

Gosh, it's just because
you look so much younger today.

All those hidden camera pranks teach us
that people believe what they want to see.

So be confident.

"I'm visiting our subsidiaries
now that I'm officially the CEO." Go.

I'm visiting our subsidiaries
now that I'm officially the CEO.

I see.

-Yes.
-Don't forget the eyes.

This way, please.

This is where
comprehensive checkups take place.

Over 50 patients can be examined at once.

-After you.
-Thank you.

Where are you now?

The wing for medical checkups.

-Pardon?
-Sorry?

I'm due for a full checkup.

You can come anytime, sir.

Should we schedule it today?

-No, it's okay.
-All right, then.

You're pretty quick-witted.

Take Elevator 13
and go to Basement Level 4.

I think you passed the elevator just now.

Pretend you're going to the washroom.

Wait, where's the washroom?

-This way, please.
-No, it's okay.

I did see one downstairs on our way up.

Right, there's one on every floor.

-Okay. I'll be right back.
-Sure.

Sorry, please excuse me.

ELEVATOR

Are you in?

I'm in front of the elevator.

All right. Remember what you need to do
with the flash drive?

Here. Take this to the server room
on Basement Level Four.

-It's plug-and-play.
-What?

Plug it into the main computer.

Just plug it in?

Yes. It'll reboot the entire server

so the building can be controlled
from the outside…

Just go there and plug it in.

That's simple. What do I do after that?

We'll save Seo-hae.

Just plug it in and save Seo-hae.

Wait.

What? Where did it go? Hold on.

What is it? What's wrong?

Did you lose it?

There it is.

You little… Jeez.

DOOR NOT IN USE

It says the door is not in use.

Hold on.

Jeez! That scared me. Gosh.

I got in.

Do the iris scan.

Where is it?

Wear these contact lenses.

They'll get you into
all the restricted areas in the hospital.

-Gosh.
-Careful! Or I have to make another one.

Stand in the middle.

Gosh, that scared me.

Nice.

DANGER
ISOLATION AREA

I got in.

Then go down the stairs and make a right.

What on earth is this place?

Darn it. It's that way.

What are you saying?

Damn it. I'm sick of this.

-How's it going?
-That girl's stubborn. She won't talk.

They crossed over,
knowing it could cost them their lives.

They fear nothing.

Gosh! Those filthy rats.

They make me feel like
I'm exposed to radiation.

It doesn't spread through air.

Who knows? It worries me.

Did you get anything from the brokers?

They're even worse.
They laugh when they get beaten up.

Damn, we went through hell
because of those jerks last time.

This time, they're playing dumb
and denying everything.

We could've finished it in one blow
but got screwed over.

Damn it.

I didn't k*ll her.

What?

I didn't k*ll her.

I didn't k*ll anyone.

My mom…

did nothing wrong.

Same here.

Hey! Get out of there!

-Jung Hyeon-gi!
-Have you lost your mind?

-Get out of there!
-Open the door!

I hear this shot

makes you disappear

like a ghost.

I heard it hurts.

Whether I k*lled your mother or not,
it no longer matters to you.

You're trying to k*ll me
not because you hate me.

But because you hate yourself.

Your regrets are driving you crazy,

so you're taking your anger out on me.

Shut up.

I think I'm in the server room now.

Good. Then find the mainframe server
and plug in the flash drive.

Come again? Main… What?

The mainframe server. Take a good look.

But there's a lot of stuff here.

Look for the one

with insanely tight security.

Anyone would know
that it's the most important one there.

I got it open,
but there's a lot of stuff inside.

Of course, you fool.

You'll find the control unit
somewhere in the middle.

It looks like a laptop. With a handle.

-Did you find it?
-Yes.

I'll just plug it in first.

Be careful.
Don't plug it in the wrong spot.

I did it. But something's popped up
on the screen.

Yes, I see it.

Well done. Now get out of there.

Just leave this here?

Gosh.

Okay, I'll get out of here.

Yes, just leave it there.

It's my turn now.

FIRE ALARM

-What is going on?
-Hurry! Run!

JAAE HOSPITAL

What's going on?

-Find out what's going on!
-Yes, sir!

Situation Room, what's going on? Hey!

Stop that!

-You rats!
-Stay put!

He's here.

What?

He's here.

Subtitle translation by: Liya Choi

Security system error.

Why is Seo-hae's name on a wanted poster?

Dad…

What's going on with Tae-sul?

You don't have to know that.

There's no cure for her.

How can I save Seo-hae?

Just sh**t me!

Agnes.

Ask that woman how to save her.
