01x06 - All Roads Lead to Chae-ni

Post by bunniefuu »

[mysterious music sting]

You know, I've been
thinking about something.

[Ro-bin] Yeah?

[sniffs] You said the Wunderkinder are
behind the Church of Eternal Salvation.

So that would mean
we could start a church too.

We're miracle children too.
Just adult versions.

[gasps] Instead of a con artist,
now you want to become a cult leader?

So that would be…

If we got 10,000 from everyone, we'd make…

There'd be tithes too.

And a few of them would give us everything
and live communally.

That's probably…

Huh… Oh, that's crazy.
I don't even think I can do the math.

THE FOUR DAUGHTERS OF ARMIAN

Hey, if we set it up right,
we could make more money than Uri Geller.

I don't want
to use my superpowers that way.

[Gyeong-hun] Why are you so naive?

-This is why you'll never get ahead.
-Watch it!

We have a right to use them
however we want, okay?

Why are Train Wreck and Oddball
taking so long, anyway?

-I should get home, but I'd like dessert.
-[cell phone buzzing]

-Hold on. Be quiet.
-You're the one talking.

Phone's ringing.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

[whispers] Hey!

I'll take this outside.

[Ro-bin sighs]

-[door opens]
-[exhales]

[Gyeong-hun] Yes, Mother.
Did you have dinner?

Oh, nothing much, you know.

Uh, well, the guys at City Hall

asked if I could help
with their work again, so I went--

No, just a freelancer.

But, Mom, these days,
all the big talents are freelancers.

[laughs awkwardly]

[sighs]

Just a sec, Mom.

[suspenseful music plays]

[whispers] Mom, I have to call you back.

[car door closes]

[Un-jeong] Whenever her heart beats fast,
she teleports.

As long as you keep her heart rate down,

she can't do anything.

THE WONDERFOOLS

EPISODE 6
ALL ROADS LEAD TO CHAE-NI

[music fades]

However, the shepherd said

everything is possible
for those who believe.

Today, here, we will witness
a miracle before our eyes…

[woman] A miracle!

…through our shepherd, Kim Pal-h*,
the living symbol.

This brother here will rise,

will stand up
on his own two feet through belief.

[murmuring]

-I believe.
-I believe in you, Lord.

[mysterious music plays]

[man] Amen.

-[crowd gasping]
-[man] No.

[woman gasps]

-Oh!
-[sighs]

[crowd murmuring]

[ethereal music plays]

[gasping and applause]

[woman] He's walking! [cries]

[gasps] Oh!

A miracle!

Belief in a living faith
will make us stand tall.

That will save us
even from the power of death.

[music fades]

[man cries]

[crowd cheering]

[choir sings]

-Amen! Hallelujah! It's a miracle!
-Hallelujah!

Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will live on forever!

-The apocalypse draws near.
-A miracle has happened!

[preacher] And there aren't
many tickets to salvation left.

Make your faith known.

Believe, and you shall be saved.
Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

[cries happily]

Hallelujah!

[crowd clamoring]

Yes, shepherd!

[unsettling music plays]

[Jun-mo] It was all about the money.

They were using the Wunderkinders' powers
and making them look like miracles.

The congregation believed that they were
witnessing a revelation from God.

Dozens of new members
are joining the church every day.

[Jeon-bok] That snake Ha Won-do.

He's using the Wunderkinder
to con people out of their money.

Unfortunately, I have a pretty good idea
of what he's planning to do with it.

[Jun-mo] But money isn't all that he needs
to start the experiments again.

Don't you think there's someone else,
someone more powerful, behind all this?

[ominous music plays]

[music fades]

What's going on?

He says he's in the middle
of carrying out a dangerous revelation.

He would like you,
the shepherd, and your sister

to stay inside until he gives word.

[ominous music plays]

[door lock buzzes]

[door slams]

[Won-do] That's good.

[uneasy music plays]

Inject her again before she wakes up.

We have no idea
how much she's been given already.

It's dangerous.

Oh my God.
There really was a successful subject.

It's not dangerous for her.
Even if she dies, it won't matter.

-I want restraints put on her as well.
-[woman gasps]

Oh! Oh, oh.

Wha…

What… What… What is this? Whoa.

Wh… whoa, whoa!

[Chae-ni sighs]

-[metal clangs]
-What? Where? Huh?

What's going on?

What the hell are you…

[tense music plays]

Huh? This place looks like…

the secret underground lab
for a crazy cartoon scientist.

Oh, this must be that place.

The Wunderkinder headquarters, right?

Prepare the sedative.

Yes.

Oh. I saw you.

I'm sure I did. Uh-huh.

And I guess you're the boss?

Oh, seriously. I just… I mean…

Why'd you kidnap me anyway? Are you crazy?

I have to retrieve something.

Retrieve what?

That heart in your chest isn't yours.

What about you? Huh?

Why are you treating me this way? Huh?

Listen. A cup of coffee would be great.

Or maybe black tea,
or green tea, anything like that?

I mean, anything with caffeine, you know?

COFFEE JELLY

[tense music builds]

Okay, give me just a minute.

I just need one minute.

[Chae-ni breathes deeply]

Does this stuff even have caffeine?

Hey, hey, hold on.

-[heart beats]
-Oh!

Oh God.

It does?

It doe--

[dramatic music plays]

[man 1] That way! That way!

-[Chae-ni] Oh no! Okay, go, go, go.
-[man 3] Hey, get her!

-Oh.
-[man 3] Hey, she's here!

-Oh sh*t.
-[man 2] Here, here.

[man 1] Catch her. Catch her. Catch her!

[Chae-ni] Don't touch me!
Stay away from me! No, no, no.

[grunts] Get away from me! Don't touch me!

-[g*ns c*ck]
-[Chae-ni groans]

Oh my God, this is insane.

Oh, just a minute.
Give me a minute! Time out. Time out.

[man 3 grunts]

[music fades]

-Where is she?
-[man 1] What…

[man 2] She disappeared.

Where'd she go?

[indistinct shouting]

{\an8}PERSONAL RECORD CARD

[somber music plays]

[Won-do] It looks like you're starting
to experience side effects too.

You don't have much time left, you know?

If you give me the Child of Eternity,

I'll make sure you live too.

Your mother…

Do you want to meet her?

[air rushes]

[clattering]

[Chae-ni groans]

[breathes heavily]

I finally got back here, Sensei.

Why'd you do it?

Tell me! How could you do that?

[gentle music plays]

I'm not sorry.

There's nothing else to say.

sh*t!

This is why you were so nice?

Yes.

It's my heart.

You wouldn't have helped us at all

if they didn't want my heart?

Right.

Come with me.

Come back with me and fix this.

I know that,
next time I jump, that'll be it.

They'll catch me again.

If you don't come with me
and fix it, I'll die!

No matter what happens,

you're on my side, right?

What about these?

COFFEE JELLY

[Chae-ni groans]

[Chae-ni wheezes]

What the hell is wrong with you?!

You still handed me over,
though, didn't you?!

[cries]

[gentle music swells]

[air rushes]

[music fades]

[whispers] Why?

[growls] Oh no.

I let him go. What the hell?

[gasps]

Why's my nose running so much? Jeez.

[exhales] Who knows?

It is what it is. [exhales]

Now that I'm here,
it's up to me to survi--

[groans]

Lee Un-jeong, you son of a bi--

[ominous music sting]

[machine beeping]

[unsettling music plays]

[Chae-ni] Hm.

Hm.

Hm?

[haunting music plays]

[Chae-ni grunts softly]

[music fades]

Keep her in a semi-conscious state.
Not awake, but not asleep either.

I want her heartbeat
to stay slow, but steady.

[woman] Yes, Doctor.

[Chae-ni] Hm.

[snarls]

After your grandma went on and on
about what I did with sick children,

and how I should pay for my sins,

turns out she wasn't
much different from me.

That's not true.

[sighs] Grandma knows

all the things she did wrong.

But you don't.

You have no idea.

Don't try to lump her in with you.
It's bullshit and super insulting.

The fact is, by giving up your life,

you would be saving countless other lives.

[haunting music plays]

What would Grandma have to say about that?

Would she care? No.

She'd only want to save you.

Even if it meant the others would all die.

She'd let them in order to save you.

But tell me…

are you really more important

than all those other people?

Are you working on something so crucial

we should sacrifice
all those other lives for yours?

How many are you worth?

None.

You know you're nothing.

Their lives are worth far more than yours.

No.

You never deserved that heart.
Not for a single second.

[music fades]

[Gyeong-hun] Cheong!

Honey! Cheong!

-There's some left for you.
-Oh, thanks so much, Cheong.

There's something dangerous coming.
Pack one bag and get in the car.

Hm. What crazy theory
has its hooks in you now?

Where would we even go?

No, Mom, he's not serious.

He just wants to go on a trip.

That's not it.
It's true this time, really.

We need to pack and get out of here.
Would your folks take us in?

What is this danger
you think is coming anyway?

No, just ask him where he wants to visit.
It'll be quicker.

[sighs]

Cheong, listen.

The truth is,

I can't tell you how, but I gained

a special ability, which is a secret.

Uh, but, trust me,
there are some bad people

who might do something terrible,
which I'm not allowed to tell you.

-Is it a loan shark?
-It's not a loan shark!

Oh, Jesus.

That's not it.

[sighs] Fine. I know in the past
I've been untrustworthy,

and all I can do now
is say how sorry I am,

but you have to trust me this time.

Just one more time.
Please, I'm begging you, okay?

How dare you say that to me?

One more time? Honestly.

You said that
when you withdrew your severance early

to invest in cicada larva essence
and snail slime, just for a start.

Lion's mane supplement powder
and geranium leaf bracelets?

I'm telling you, it's not like that!

You have to take this seriously!

I just saw Eun Chae-ni being kidnapped.
They shoved her into a van.

I was right there.

Why don't you call the police, then?

-[Gyeong-hun sighs]
-Go do your homework now.

I'm telling you, the police won't help us.
I can't tell you why, though.

Then how about we get a divorce,
and I don't tell you why?

Don't be like that, okay?

How about we stay at your father's house
for the time being?

If you can afford
to install a new boiler for him.

We received a large order
from the Church of Eternal Salvation.

From who?

I guess they wanna have a big service
before the end of the world.

-Oh goodness, how romantic, huh?
-Uh…

-I…
-To die with flowers. Jeez.

No, they're a cult.
Don't do their flowers.

They're dangerous and harmful!

The only dangerous, harmful thing
around here is you.

Wait. Aren't you afraid
of what might happen?

Actually,

I'm afraid of not being able
to afford Cheong's tuition.

And I'm most afraid of the shop's landlord
raising the security deposit again.

[Mi-hui scoffs]

[melancholy music plays]

Really?

I'm…

a danger to you?

Is that how it is?

All right, fine.

You want a divorce?

As you wish.

Hey, do you think that, since I don't lose
my temper, I must be fine with everything?

Do I seem insignificant because
I swallow everything for my family?

Hey, Moon Mi-hui, I'm not finished yet!

I still have fight left. You'll see!

[banging on door]

Forget it.

I'm sick and tired of living like this.

Let's end things between us
once and for all. I've had it.

Sick and tired.

[music fades]

[huffs]

[Mi-hui groans]
Stop making all that noise!

[breathes heavily]

[gentle music plays]

[door creaks]

[strains]

[squeaks]

[Chae-ni] Will everything be better
if I die?

If I were dead,

would it do the world good?

[Ju-ran] Think of it as paying
for your grandmother's sins.

Who are you?

[Ju-ran] Be grateful.

You've been able to live
20 years longer than you were supposed to.

Are these

my thoughts or what?

[Ju-ran] If you can hear me, answer me.

[unsettling music plays]

Give up your life…

to save ours.

To save yours?

You're willing…

to die.

Willing to…

[eerie crackling]

[ominous music plays]

[eerie crackling]

To die!

[Chae-ni grunts quietly]

[machine beeping]

[suspenseful music plays]

[music fades]

[Ro-bin] I didn't see what you were doing.

[woman] Are you serious?
It's because you're wearing those.

-Yeah, so?
-[woman] Jeez!

-How can you see anything with those on?
-No, I'm still--

-Ow! My eye!
-[woman] Get back up on the stool!

Why are you falling over all the time?
For crying out loud!

Tell me to, and I'll do it gladly!

[woman 2] Oh my goodness. [exhales]

[suspenseful music plays]

Eunie is okay, right?

Tell her to sleep at home, though.

She can stop being angry later.

[Ro-bin] Okay.

What?

Ah! Oh, okay, okay.

Chae-ni's lost her mind.

She slept over at Sensei's?

I packed some food for you,
so take it home with you.

She must be bored by herself.
I'll be back.

-[woman 2] See you later.
-[woman 1] Okay, bye.

[Ro-bin] Have a good day.

-Did something happen?
-[woman 1] What's going on?

-I'm going out for a while.
-Oh, okay.

[music fades]

[gasps]

You're all right.

You weren't kidnapped?

[tense music plays]

[music fades]

Please have a cup of tea.
Then I'll take you home, ma'am.

I need you to tell me where he is.

I really need to see him
before the end of the day.

He's overseas,
so it'll be difficult to meet today.

Overseas where? When is he back?
I could get on a plane tonight.

I'm not at liberty to discuss that.

An overseas trip shrouded in secrecy
usually means a hospital stay.

Where is he?

It's better for everyone if you leave now.

That's very rude.

[cell phone buzzes]

Talk to me.

[Jun-mo] I found out
who got Ha Won-do out on parole.

[ominous music plays]

Chairman Nam Sun-gyu, Grandma.

It's him all right,
at the Church of Eternal Salvation.

[music fades]

[line ringing]

[sighs] Come on, seriously?

Sensei isn't answering his phone,
and Chae-ni isn't either.

Listen, could the two of them
have fallen in love or something,

and run away?

This is what's wrong with you.

How is that the genre you land on
with those two?

We're talking thriller, not romance.

A deadly chase scene or something
makes sense, doesn't it?

Or a kidnapping.

But neither of them is answering.
Maybe they were together, right?

All right, fine!
Chae-ni got kidnapped last night.

[sighs] Turns out Oddball is in league
with the Church of Eternal Salvation.

Turns out he was lying to all of us.

No. I don't believe that.

[cutlery clatters]

I am Kang Ro-bin now.

I saw Oddball kidnap Chae-ni

with the Wunderkinder
or the Church of whatever.

He's in league with them,
and they took her!

[gasps]

[gasps]

-What do we do now?
-What do you think?

Keep quiet.

And out of Oddball's sight for a while.

Wait! Chae-ni needs us.
You said she was taken.

What if, uh, they cut her open?

-We have to save her.
-What can we do?

Damn it. There's nothing we can do.

[breathes shakily]
How can you say that, Mr. Son, huh?

After we already abandoned her once,
you want to do it again?

Then what? You're gonna fight them alone?

[breathes shakily]

Okay, wait.

I'll go find Sensei and ask him myself.

Sit your a*s down!

I'll go alone if you're not coming.

Oh, for Christ's sake!
What do you plan on doing?

Do you want to die?
You have no idea what you're up against!

You'd faint before
you even got close to her.

Who the hell do you think you are?

[Ro-bin growls]

[Gyeong-hun whimpers]

Let me go Ro-bin.
That's too much pressure!

I'm no hero.

I'm not brave.

Or quick.

There's a lot I don't get.

Everyone in the world
thinks I'm a big, useless idiot.

[poignant music plays]

Except for Chae-ni.

[whistle blows]

[students] Twenty-three!

Twenty-four!

Twenty-five!

Twenty-six!

Twenty-seven!

Twenty-eight!

Twenty-nine!

-Thirty!
-[all groan]

[student 1] Ro-bin!

[student 2] Not again!

-[student 3] Seriously?
-[student 4] What are you doing?

[overlapping complaints]

-[teacher] Get a hold of yourselves!
-Jesus.

[student 5] Come on!

Hey, catch up already.

[teacher] Now 50 times! How many?

-Fifty, sir!
-[all] Fifty times!

-Forty-three!
-[whistle blowing]

[students] Forty-four!

Forty-five!

[student 6] I swear, you…

[student 7] Not again!

Please. Please, sir.

Hey, dummy!

-Happy with yourself?
-[laughter]

-Sap.
-Good one!

-Sorry, sorry.
-He had it coming.

-Hey, useless.
-[groans]

-Looks good.
-Thanks. Enjoy.

h*… hope you like it.

[student 1 tuts]

[student 1] Eat up. It's good.

[screams]

[intriguing music plays]

[Chae-ni] Hm.

[Ro-bin yelps]

I love a fried egg.

From now on,

let's eat lunch together.

[Ro-bin] Hm? Hm.

-There he is! The number one sap b*stard!
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

-Hey, no, no, no, don't. Just don't.
-[student 2] Don't do that.

[student 3] Come on.
I'll tell you out here.

-What?
-[student 3] Let's go now.

-[student 4] But you just did! What?
-[music stops]

[yelps]

Agh!

I mean it.

[gentle music plays]

Hm.

[Ro-bin] That was the first time
someone stood up for me.

Chae-ni was the first person to do that.

Okay, I understand.

Couldn't you've let me go
before telling such a long story?

It hurts so much. Please. I'm sorry, okay?

-[bones creak]
-[yelps]

[whimpers]

If you're going to hide, do it now.

Hey, hey. Before you go, eat at least.

Grandma packed this up for us.

Oh, Ro-bin?

Hey!

Huh? He can't be gone?

I know. He says he's going back to Seoul.

Oh, but without telling anyone
or having a goodbye party?

This is why I told you

not to give your heart to those
cold-hearted city guys, Na-yeong. [tuts]

[sighs] That heartless jerk.

-[cries]
-[yelps]

Oh, jeez. What did I do?

[tuts]

No surprise. He never put down
any roots at all.

[sighs]

Yeah, he was a jerk. [tuts]

[sighs]

[yelps] Why? What? Why?

-[exhales]
-[Mr. Yang] Sir?

Did he… Did he go to Seoul?

Yeah. I think so. Why do you ask?

[exhales]

Did he see?

PLEASE DISPOSE OF THIS

[car horn honks]

[banging on door]

Where's Chae-ni?

Let it go. I don't know anything.

[groans]

[wheezes]

[dramatic music plays]

[landlady] There you go again
with your banging. I'm calling the police!

Do you hear me, City Hall guy? Huh?

You should know

I've been feeling
really strong today. [sniffs]

[crying] But I feel so angry,

I can't seem to make it go away.

[Ro-bin grunts]

[Un-jeong wheezes]

Okay, let go. Let's talk.

Tell me how to find her.

What did you do?

Is it true?

You gave her to them?

Did you?

How long were you
planning this for, Sensei?

[Un-jeong pants]

[suspenseful music plays]

[music stops]

[Ro-bin strains]

[suspenseful music plays]

[Ro-bin groans]

[Ro-bin grunts]

[dramatic music plays]

[strains]

[cell phone rings]

[music fades]

[Ro-bin strains]

-Ro-bin here.
-[Gyeong-hun] Where are you?

Did you really go see Oddball?

Chae-ni's grandma is going crazy
trying to find the two of you.

[continues ringing]

[Jeon-bok] I'm Eun Chae-ni's grandmother.

[strains]

[groans]

-[Ro-bin groans]
-[sniffs, pants]

I'm listening.

[Jeon-bok] I'd like to see you
if possible.

Can you come over?

[Gyeong-hun] You're okay, right?
Please, tell me you're okay. Huh?

Hey! Hello?

I need you to insult me, Mr. Son.

[Gyeong-hun] Are you even listening to me?
You're dead if I catch you! Goddammit!

[music fades]

LIVE PAST 30

[Chae-ni, weakly] Hey,
can I ask you something?

Is Sensei one of the people

I'm supposed to save?

Do you mean 3972?

If so, then

you've saved him already.

I told him where his mother is.

That's the reason he handed you over.

I see.

If that's true,

I can't even be angry.

[sniffles]

His mother?

Can't compete with that.

[sniffles]

[Jeon-bok] It's ready. Come on out here.

You know, Eunie told me

you're a Wunderkinder.

I'm sorry.

That's why I asked you here.

I might not
get another chance to apologize.

[breathes deeply]

And this way,

I could be sure that you had a good meal.

I know this won't make up
for anything that happened.

I just thought I should do something.

You're absolutely right.

A meal won't compensate
for all those years of suffering.

I'm gonna go now.

[Jeon-bok] Where is my Chae-ni?

Tell me, if you know.

Was it…

Was it you that gave her to Ha Won-do?

I wouldn't ask you to save her.
That part I can take care of.

Just tell me where they took Chae-ni.

Tell me where she is.

It might

already be too late.

It's not.

I'm sure of it.

She won't give in that easily.

You don't know her like I do.

[gentle music plays]

I'm sorry.

[music stops]

I can't believe
he actually came to see her.

But it doesn't change what he did.

Yeah, well, I can't believe
you came either, Mr. Son.

What happened to your plan to hide?
[scoffs]

Hey. [gasps]

[Ro-bin gasps]

[Ro-bin gasps]

Holy sh*t.

I can't believe he already had it out
with Chae-ni's grandma.

He's got superpowers for sure.

Sensei!

-[Ro-bin grunts]
-Kang Ro-bin, stay out of it!

[Ro-bin panting]

Wh… where are you going now?

To save Chae-ni?



Are you really not going to save Chae-ni?

I'll bet you anything
he's not going to save her.

[whimpers]

[gasps]

[Un-jeong] I thought
it was meaningless anyway.

Is that the child?

[woman] Yes.

I understand.

[Un-jeong] That whatever happened
to someone else's life

didn't matter to me.

Sensei, come on!

You're really gonna run away, aren't you?
I knew it!

[gentle music plays]

[Gyeong-hun whimpers]

[Un-jeong] Especially to such

incredibly annoying people. [sighs]

[yelping]

[Gyeong-hun] Mr. Oddball.

[Chae-ni] Okay, we're guessing
that you're probably not happy to see us.

Come on! You know
we still need you, Sensei.

Yeah, well, most people wouldn't bother
helping if they didn't want to.

But even if you don't, in the end,
Sensei, you always do the right thing.

And why is that?

Because you do like us!

Sensei! [giggles]

[Un-jeong] The way they keep pushing,

with no consideration…

[laughs]

[Un-jeong] I wanted to find her.

And I wanted
to find out what I was missing.

I thought if I found my mom…

I could turn my life around.

Even if it was just a little.

That's why…

That's why I…

[gasps]

[Un-jeong] Such ridiculously…

kind…

and friendly people.

[Gyeong-hun] Wait. What?

Was it something I said?

[music fades]

Hey!

Are you calling
the Church of Eternal Salvation?

-Are they gonna kidnap us too?
-Ah!

[tense music plays]

I'll need people for this.

[Jeon-bok] How many?

The more, the merrier.

A hundred?

Two hundred's better.

All right.

[music fades]

I'm sorry, Mr. Yang.
Please. I'm asking just this once.

[Mr. Yang] After you up and left
like you were never going to see us again?

I guess you adjusted your level of
social skills to match your new friends.

-I'll show you social skills.
-What? Whoa!

I'm begging you, sir.

PUBLIC HOUSING DEPARTMENT

[Mr. Yang] Victory!


Yes, sir!

-At ease!
-[man] What's going on?

-I got you some Bacchus.
-Thanks. What are you doing?

-Just excuse me for a second.
-What? Sa… salvation?

Uh, wait a minute. I'm not…

Be careful. Don't poke the hornet's nest.

You like liquor? Shots, the hard stuff?
What's your favorite?

-Daepo?
-Yeah, sure. Daepo. Daepo, daepo.

-Well, I guess--
-Yeah, let me just…

SWEET HOME WELFARE CENTER

CHURCH OF ETERNAL SALVATION

There they are.
The church's building plans.

[Ro-bin gasps]

Thank you, Mr. Yang.

[Mr. Yang] So, you can smile?

Wow. You look totally different.

You know, I was beginning to think

you ran on batteries
or something like that, you know?

[exaggerated laughter]

[laughs]

Actually, it's a

charging cable.

[laughter fades]

[Ro-bin laughs weakly]

[laughs]

So not a USB then?

[laughter]

[intriguing music plays]

[music fades]

[Un-jeong] This place is too open.

And this side, securing a route
won't be easy from there either.

[table rattles]

Don't you think
we should call the authorities?

-We don't understand all of this.
-What would you say to them?

[sighs]

Goddammit.

Look, if we call the police,
whether or not they believe us,

we'll have done all that we can,
and we can walk away from this.

It doesn't matter anyway.

I'm sure the first thing they did
was to pay the police off.

All the more reason
for us to stay out of this.

If the police can't do anything about it,
what can we do?

What can you do? Huh?

Chae-ni is my only friend!

-[sighs]
-And I'm going to save her.

[sniffs] You went
from having the strength of a six-year-old

to having super-strength,
but what can you do? Huh?

Even when your power is working,
you're still not exactly a superhero.

Tell me. What can you do with it? Huh?

'Cause it seems to me that you're
under the delusion you're all-powerful.

But next to the Wunderkinder,
you're an amateur.

If you value your life,
stay put and don't get involved.

Stop acting crazy. Listen when I tell you,
you can't do anything.

[Gyeong-hun screams]

[Gyeong-hun panting]

I guess there are
quite a few things you can do. Mm.

From now on,
real life will be your training.

How can we trust you?

We don't know
when you'll turn into an evil oddball.

What if we go in there to save Chae-ni,
and you back out of it?

I mean, I know the situation right now
is really urgent,

but should we really
put our lives at risk for her?

Hey, Kang Ro-bin, you have to say
something. This is crazy. Jeez.

[gasps] Get away!

What's with that look?

When you of all people
look at me like that, it ma…

it makes me feel like I'm really pathetic.

[scoffs] Maybe you are
really pathetic, though.

Ready, Sensei? Let's go.

Hey. Wait.

Who said I wasn't going?

Okay, fine.

I'll go. Okay. I will go.

On one condition.

I want the police report
filed under my name.

-Cool!
-Cool!

[intriguing music plays]

HAESEONG CITY HALL

[Gyeong-hun] Code name,

Condolence Wreath.

[Ro-bin] Do you think we'll get there
before Chae-ni's heart is stolen?

[Un-jeong] Enough talking.

If we're too late,
this will all have been for nothing.

[music fades]

EUN CHAE-NI

[mice squeak]

[music fades]

[grunts]

I've had enough!

What exactly is going on out there?

Why do we have to stay in here?
Why won't he let us out?

Ju-ran, do you know anything?

[exhales]

-I'm pretty sure Father found the child.
-[h*-ran] The child?

The Child of Eternity? You think so?

Then why didn't he tell us?

If he found the Child of Eternity,
we should be the first to know.

Why wouldn't he tell us?

Don't you think that's weird?

He has his reasons.

Just wait.

You know Father hates it
more than anything

when we ask unnecessary questions.

[groans]

I might be able to find out.

Wait. You don't mean…

Are you crazy?

[door opens]

-[Ju-ran] Father!
-Later. I'm a bit busy right now.

We heard you found the Child of Eternity.

[door creaks]

Talk to us.

If it's true,
why are you keeping us in here?

You suspect what, exactly?

[Ju-ran, echoing] Tell the truth.

What are you hiding from us?

[unsettling music plays]

Answer me.

Answer me, Father.

Faith is confidence…

[music stops]

…in what we hope for,

and assurance about what we do not see.

[gasps]

Without faith in me,

you will never see
what you hope for most of all, Ju-ran.

[tense music plays]

You have the ability
that I love above all.

It's also the ability
that I need the most.

My dear girl,

why would it work on me, your father?

[music fades]

Elder Yoon called. There's a situation.

A crowd of people are protesting
in front of the building.

He says we have a situation.

Go fix it.

[door closes]

[whimpers softly]

You are my daughter of faith, Ju-ran.

You are the firstborn child of a dream.

I'll save you before anyone else.

But I will not tolerate
you testing me again.

Your suspicion

will rot you from the inside out.

[exhales]

Yes.

I'm sorry.

[music fades]

I won't bother mentioning that
this is all thanks to my flypaper hands.

Hey, Sensei. Where do we go now?

Give me a minute.

What about this door?

Hey! This way.

Look. See, it's unlocked.

What? What is it?

I can't see.

[Ro-bin gasps]

[jaunty suspenseful music plays]

[Ro-bin gasps]

[costume rustles]

Hello.

[protestor] Give us our families…

Why haven't you been able
to get rid of them yet? Get over here!

Uh, we sent officers already.

{\an8}OUTDOOR ASSEMBLY PERMIT FORM

[dramatic music plays]

They are exercising
their right to free assembly.

You can explain that to her.

Uh, yeah, but I… I don't wanna.

[protestor] We want our families…

After all the money they accepted from us.

[crowd] Give them back! Give them back!

[sighs]

-[cell phone buzzes]
-[protestor] No more cults!

What's going on?

[groans]

There are intruders in the building.

Pal-h*?

Pal-h*, come here!

[machine beeping]

[breathy wheezing]

Who's that old guy?

What's he in here for?

[Won-do] Your heart.

He's the one it's going to.

[Chae-ni] Huh?

Uh, you said
you were gonna save the world.

[uneasy music plays]

You said that…

in exchange for my life,

you could save countless others.

But you're not.

You're giving it to that old man?

[Won-do] Don't take it personally.

All that exists in this corrupt world

are unpleasant, unfair, and

unrelenting realities.

No, no.

Wait, you lied.

This isn't what you said.

Why should I give up my life

to save that old guy?

Why?

It's because

you mean nothing.

[dramatic music builds]

[Ju-ran] Gladly…

Gladly…

[Ju-ran] …die.

[eerie crackling]

…die.

I don't want to die.

[music stops]

[breathes heavily]

[breathes shakily] I…

Why do I mean nothing?

I'm not

nothing to Grandma.

[gentle music plays]

[Chae-ni] I'm her whole world.

Ro-bin's…

one and only friend.

For Son Gyeong-hun…

I keep things exciting.

Sensei.

I am…

I am Sensei's…

[Chae-ni] Sensei.

[grunting, thudding]

[tense music plays]

I'm not wild about the idea, but

you're on my side.

[dramatic synth music plays]

[Gyeong-hun] Where is she? Is that her?

-Hey, isn't that her on the bed?
-[Ro-bin] Chae-ni!

-Chae-ni! Eun Chae-ni!
-[Gyeong-hun] Chae-ni!

-Ch… Chae-ni.
-Chae-ni.

-Oh no, what do we do?
-[Gyeong-hun] Is she conscious or what?

It's me, Gyeong-hun.

Are you okay?

-Chae-ni!
-[Ro-bin] Oh, what do we do?

-Get this out of my face!
-[Gyeong-hun] Chae-ni!

-[screams] Hurry! Mr. Son!
-What do we do?

-Hurry up. Get down!

Oh God! Give me those! I can't!
