(Year 2008)
Yong Woo is letting you live at such a nice place.
Gosh, I would've asked him for help as well had I known about this.
I pay him rent.
- Here. - Great, thanks.
What do you need them for?
They're still being tested.
You're not going to get yourself in trouble again, are you?
Do you think I'll do it to myself again after what I've been through?
I was just curious. I just wanted to look at them.
I need to get myself together again for my twin boys.
They're the twins. They're so cute.
Are they at school now?
No, they're staying with my mother at the moment...
as I want to focus on my research.
What kind of research are you working on now?
I'll tell you about it later. You must be hungry.
- Let's go for food. Come on. - Okay, food sounds good.
- Let's go. - All right.

(Episode 8)
Woo Jin, that document...
I need it.
It'll also allow your brother to live a happy life.
He'll be able to forget all of his bad memories and live happily.
Woo Jin, please.
Help me, please.
I...
didn't even know that my dad was a neuroscientist.
I only found out about it a few days ago,
which means I've never heard him talking about research...
or things like memory control.
Professor, my brother is all I have now.
So please...
I promise you. I won't tell the police about any of this.
I'll take Beom Gyun and disappear with him quietly. Please?
I won't do anything, okay?
Woo Jin, do you think I look like I'm in my right mind?
I went through every nook and cranny...
of the lab after Gyu Cheol disappeared but couldn't find it.
I had no choice but to do illegal experiments.
Once I crossed the line, I couldn't stop myself.
I ended up...
killing someone through the experiments.
I killed someone.
Find it no matter what.
Whether you know about it or not, you must find it.
He must've hidden it somewhere.
Otherwise, he shouldn't even call himself a scientist.
You're his son.
I couldn't find it, but you should be able to.
If we can't find it, this will never end.
These experiments, which I'm so sick and tired of, will have to continue.
And someone else will die.
- Then Beom Gyun will... - Professor!
That's why...
you have to find that document. Understand?
Do you now have a grasp of the situation?
Hey, Woo Jin.
You better not report this to the police.
I'm not the only inside man there.
You don't want your brother dead, do you?
Answer it.
(Han Jeong Yeon)
- Hey. - Why didn't you pick up?
- What's up? - Did something happen to you?
Did you get caught?
No, nothing happened.
My dad took off suddenly saying something has come up.
What about his computer? Did you manage to get into it?
Yes, there was nothing.
- There was nothing? - Yes.
I'll keep digging. I'll call you in a bit.
Are you sure nothing happened?
Yes, I'm fine. I have to go.
It sounds like Professor Han gave you a task.
Whatever it is, get it done fast.
What a nice day.

(What's your number one treasure?)
Don't worry. It's okay. I'm holding you.
Good. You're doing great. Yes, that's it.
- I'll take my hands off now. - Okay.
All right. My hands are off now!
- It's going. My gosh! - Hold onto the handlebar.
Dad, I'm so good at this!
Woo Jin, you're doing so well.
(Answer your security question. What's your number one treasure?)

(Please enter your new password.)
Treasure?
You lied to us about everything.
We're your treasure?
Do you realize that this happened to Beom Gyun because of you?
(Researcher Kim Gyu Cheol)
Look at you, Mr. Artist. You're doodling away again.
I'm trying to analyze and extrapolate the case.
You're so clueless.
What are you talking about? You're just drawing what's on your desk.
Have you looked into the bloodmobile?
Finding it is obviously not that easy.
I'm still trying to track it down.
A man with a cigarette in his mouth was seen on the bloodmobile.
Look into that too.
- I'll be back later. - Yes, sir.
- Where do you think you're going? - Sir.
I heard you're wasting your time on useless things these days.
It was concluded as a suicide. Why are you digging it up again?
Well, a kid who was related to the case went missing.
There are so many weird things about the case.
Take your hands off of it! The other team will handle the missing case,
so don't even touch it. Got it?
All you do is waste your time drawing those stupid cartoons.
- Cartoons? - Have a good day, sir.
Take my hands off? Are my hands sticky tape or what?
- Give me a lollipop. - Sure.
- I'm craving something sweet. - Here you go, sir.
What's his problem?
Good luck!

The number you've dialed is unavailable at the moment.
Hey, Dong Soo. Why aren't you picking up your phone?
(Lee Dong Soo)
- I thought you were my mom. - You're good with computers, right?
- Can you hack too? - Yes, a little.
Teacher, do you get obsessed with your girlfriends?
I'm not joking with you now. Can you do it or not?
- What will I get in return? - Whatever you want.
Are you serious?
Hey, why did you stop?
We just have to wait now.
How long? A couple of hours?
You have no idea, do you?
Passwords usually consist of anything from four...
- to 12 characters, right? - So?
A hacking tool has to be run for all letters, numbers, and symbols.
It's called "dictionary attack".
There are millions of possible combinations.
It could go up to 10 million. It has to go through every single one.
So how long will it take?
One second, if we're lucky. But it could take over a year.
What?
Dong Soo.
This is really urgent, okay?
I... I have to see what's in it.
Only then,
I can put an end to everything.
Help me out. Please?
Then this tool isn't enough.
I'll try to find another way.
All right.
You must've wanted to go out for a walk.
You should've told me.
Shall we go? Please walk slowly.
Who are you?
A thief. There's a thief here!
- Grandma. - There's a thief!
- There's a thief here. - Grandma. It's me, Woo Jin.
Grandma, did Dad leave any document with you?
- I really need it. - You thief, let go.
- Grandma, Grandma... - Let go of me, thief. You rat.
- A thief broke in! A thief... - Ma'am.
- There's a thief here. A thief. - Ma'am, he's your grandson.
He's Woo Jin.
He's not Woo Jin. Woo Jin is only 11 years old.
- Please calm down. - He's a thief.
You rat. What were you trying to steal?
You scum. He's a thief.
He's not Woo Jin. He's a thief.
(Dong Soo)
- Hey, Dong Soo. - Teacher, I got in.
- I'll send them to you now. - Okay, send them right away.
(Dong Soo)
- Is this it? - Yes.
Are you sure?
Dong Soo, are you sure? These photos were all you found in it?
Yes. There wasn't anything else.
Our place in Gyodeok-dong? Could it be...
Woo Jin...
This is where Gyu Cheol used to live.
What is going on?
Weren't you already suspecting it?
I bet you didn't even ask me and pretended not to know about it...
because you also liked collecting data through that robot.
No, I really didn't know.
I'm not like you.
Who are you?
Well... You're Professor Park Dong Geon, right?
Yes, I am.
I'm Detective Hong Jin Hong from Gangnam Police Station.
What can I do for you?
I heard that you specialize...
in bio... I mean, cybernet.
Cybernetics. I specialize in biocybernetics.
Oh, right.
It's biocybernetics.
I heard...
it's a technology that connects the human brain to machines.
It's not limited to the brain alone.
Then have you seen this by any chance?
Well, I've never seen them. What's the matter?
These are said to have been found in the dead students' bodies.
Is that so?
The university said it had been concluded they committed a suicide.
An investigation is under way. We have witnesses too.
There are a few things that don't add up.
A boy is missing too.
Missing?
Anyway, thank you for your cooperation.
Wait.
Could I try analyzing those?
These are important evidence.
I couldn't give them to you.
I'll come back if I need your help.
What are you guys doing with my robots?
What is Professor Han up to?
You guys turned me into an accomplice.
Don't I have the right to know?
Professor Han said it was possible to convert memories into videos.
- What? - You can lock up bad memories too.
That's absurd.
We don't even quite understand how memories are saved yet.
How could you convert memories into videos?
How? With what technology?
You're a scientist. How can you believe such nonsense?
(Kim Woo Jin)
The number you have dialed is not available at this moment.
Jeong Yeon.
You left so suddenly. I came here because I was worried.
How much do you know?
What are you talking about?
Byul,
Dr. Kim Gyu Cheol, and you.
What did you do?
What are those blue worms?
The students including So Yoon and Beom Gyun...
Did you really...
do something to them?
It was because of you.
It was all because of you, Jeong Yeon. No.
Byul.
It's a process of restoring your memories.
Kim Gyu Cheol locked up your memories.
I had to experiment with the worms to find them.
The students' deaths?
They were just a side effect.
Why do you want to restore my memories so badly?
What can you change with my memories?
Everything!
I can change everything!
Once I find Byul's memories,
the whole world and humanity can change.
It will be the beginning of the great new world...
which no one has ever experienced.
What did you say?
I don't know where Byul comes from,
but look at yourself. You're living like a human being.
As a scientist, I'm sure of one thing.
You have the same DNA as we do.
But you could perfectly interpret human brains.
Neuroscience is an uncharted territory for human beings.
And you already had the knowledge.
It doesn't end there.
Memories.
You could save memories as videos...
and manage them. You could even select...
certain parts and lock them up.
Can you imagine?
By locking up the memories, human beings can stop being unhappy.
In addition, you haven't aged at all in the past 10 years.
Once I find out the reason, humanity will be able to...
even conquer death.
Byul.
You're the savior of humanity.
When you came to us, you must have had a reason.
And Kim Gyu Cheol ruined everything.
I'm trying to help humanity.
So please help me, Byul.
We're almost there.
Woo Jin is looking for the data his father left.
Once he find his data,
I can restore your memories.
Then it'll be almost over.
So please...
remain quiet for the time being.
If you want Woo Jin and Beom Gyun...
to stay safe.
Ms. Park, we suspect you have a foreign substance in your brain.
We need to examine it right away.
I saw the CT scan. It's near the cerebellar peduncles, right?
If I'm lucky, a craniotomy won't be necessary.
Sorry?
But I don't have time for that.
I have to find someone.
- The number you have dialed... - Why isn't Woo Jin picking up?
Where is Department of Neuroscience?
It's that way.
Excuse me.
Gosh.
Where is Woo Jin?
Everything!
I can change everything!
Once I find Byul's memories,
the whole world and humanity can change.
It will be the beginning of the great new world...
which no one has ever experienced.
Dad!
- Let me go! - Who are you?
You're one of them, aren't you? You guys killed the students.
Did you put those worms in my head?
Calm down.
- I didn't. - Cut it out.
Where is Beom Gyun?
Beom Gyun?
- Who is that? - Kim Beom Gyun.
You guys kidnapped him.
Calm down.
I know where he is.
I can help you.
So you should help me too.
Are you sure?
What?
Han Yong Woo is the culprit. Come here right now.
Okay, I'll be right there.
What's the matter?
Beom Gyun has been located. He's in Gyodeok-dong.
Gosh.
- What? When? - Just now.
All right.
It's me. Send some people to Gyodeok-dong right away.
The house in Gyodeok-dong??
(Professor Park Dong Geon)
Yes, Professor.
- I'm sorry, but I'm in a rush... - Woo Jin. I'll explain later.
I've found out where Beom Gyun is.
Gyodeok-dong. The house you guys used to live in.
(Professor Park Dong Geon)
Yes, Professor.
- I'm sorry, but I'm in a rush... - Woo Jin. I'll explain later.
I've found out where Beom Gyun is.
Gyodeok-dong. The house you guys used to live in.
- Beom Gyun! - Woo Jin!
- Beom Gyun!
Woo Jin!
Beom Gyun, Beom Gyun.
Beom Gyun, Beom Gyun!
Hey, who are you?
- Where's Beom Gyun? - What?
Where is my brother?
Let go!
Beom Gyun!
You jerks.
Hey, kid. Leave.
Go home!
My brother. Where is my brother?
You little...
- Gosh. - Please.
Goodness, this kid... Hey.
Seriously.
You're stubborn, aren't you?
My brother...
I asked you where my brother is.
Gosh.
Gosh, seriously. Did you have to make me do that to you?
Go home, okay?
Detective, please hurry.
Beom Gyun...
Beom Gyun.
Beom Gyun?
Beom Gyun, Beom Gyun...
Beom Gyun. It's me, Woo Jin.
Wake up. Beom Gyun...
Beom Gyun, please wake up.
Beom Gyun, Beom Gyun...
Beom Gyun, it's me. Wake up, please.
Beom Gyun. It's me, Woo Jin. Beom Gyun.
Beom Gyun, please wake up...
Beom Gyun. Beom Gyun.
Beom Gyun. It's me, Woo Jin. Please open your eyes.
Beom Gyun. Beom Gyun, please wake up...
Oh no...
Woo Jin...
Beom Gyun.
Beom Gyun, are you okay?
- Is it you, Woo Jin? - Yes. It's me, Woo Jin.
I'm sorry, Woo Jin.
Beom Gyun, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about everything.
- I'm sorry. - Thanks for being alive, Beom Gyun.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry, Woo Jin.
Woo Jin...
It's all my fault. I'm so sorry, Beom Gyun.
(Part 2: The Great New World)
I'll meet the chairman of Human B.
Whether Woo Jin is the chairman or not, the fact won't change.
I'll meet him and find out.
Then I'll stop Human B.
What about you? What will you do?
I've been...
unlocking people's memories even though...
I thought the chairman might be Woo Jin.
Whether he's the chairman or not, we must find him.
If he is indeed the chairman,
we'll have to stop him.
What is it now?
Tell your chairman this.
Now that he knows that I'm Kim Beom Gyun,
shouldn't he meet me by now?
I'd like to meet with...
the chairman and Bluebird. I want to have a three-party encounter.
So this is you,
and this is your brother?
Was it really Human B that made your brother disappear?
Do you still not believe me?
Look at this.
They did the same thing to me 20 years ago as they did to you.
I was the first victim whose memories were locked up.
Human B might have done something to my brother too.
A city free from crimes? That's nonsense.
This city was established on crimes.
What about Bluebird? How are you related to her?
She's looking for my brother too.
Bluebird is looking for your brother?
You'll soon understand.
Do you have any idea where he might be?
Once I meet the chairman, I'll find out.
Sir, Joon Hyeok wants the three of you to meet.
What would you like to do?
If you keep eating so much flour, you'll ruin your health.
You don't understand.
Haven't you watched any old Hollywood movies?
Police officers have to eat doughnuts.
A hard-working detective like me has to eat doughnuts.
Do you understand?
Flour doesn't give you energy.
You should eat rice like me.
Hey.
You've changed after having your chip removed.
I have? How?
You're nagging more and more.
What's that? Open your mouth.
Gosh, you talk too much. I can't stand it anymore. Bye.
Detective Kim!
How many times have I told you?
Please at least keep the place clean.
All right.
Someone broke into the investigation headquarter.
Please check the entry log.
Don't touch it.
It might be dangerous.
This is mine.
- Sorry? - I used it 20 years ago.
The last person who had it was Woo Jin.
9pm on 13th, Goyeon Building...
rooftop, 156-9 Smart City.
Do you think the chairman wants to meet you?
Why didn't he contact you directly?
Don't go there. I think it's a trap.
- Why? - It's just my gut feeling.
Do you get gut feelings now that you don't have a chip?
What are you going to do?
This is Woo Jin.
It was taken in the Human B's chairman's office.
What?
Why would he be in the chairman's office?
No way.
I don't care if he is the chairman or not.
I'll go there no matter what.
Hey, it might be a trap.
Please be on standby here with Detective Oh and others.
If anything goes wrong, I'll send Jeong Yeon.
Please protect her.
You talk like something bad will happen.
I'm saying it just in case.
I trust you.
Hey...
(Minister Park Dong Geon)
What is this?
It's the attendance list...
for the investment briefing regarding Smart City I talked about.
If the chairman was there,
the attendees must have seen him.
The chairman's face must be in those people's memory videos.
Minister.
Yes, I'm a minister. I work for the government.
That's why...
I can't do anything more than this for you.
The rest is up to you.
Are you telling me to hack into those people's memory videos?
I never said that.
I said it was up to you.
Hack into these?
Go right now.
If something happens, go directly to the terminal.
- Chief Hong will be there. - Detective Kim.
Do me a favor, Ho Soo.
Stay safe.
Woo Jin, if you're the chairman, you will come to meet me.
I hope you won't come.
Do you mean the investment briefing...
that was held in January 2022?
Yes. How did you know? I thought it was confidential.
I used to be a financial journalist.
I found out Brown, the chairman of GEE, was visiting Korea.
When I followed him, I ended up at Serim Hotel.
I see.
It turned out, an investment briefing was being held.
I failed to cover it though.
I see.
I found out about it by chance after I became a minister.
- See you again. - See you.
What are you doing?
Something is fishy.
My hunches are never wrong.
What is it?
Isn't that one of the twin brothers?
That's not what's important. This painting...
looks familiar.
- What is it? - That's what I'm wondering.
Why don't I remember it?
I wish I had a chip in my head.
You used to say you would lose your job there.
You hated Smart City.
Be quiet. You're distracting me. Go away.
Why are you taking it out on me?
(News Materials from 2022)
(January)
(January 3, 2022, Eric Brown in Korea)
(Eric Brown checks in at Serim Hotel. Failed to enter.)
(Some attendees identified: Eric Brown, Tim Morris,)
(Gerald Fisher, Park Dong Geon)
Park Dong Geon?
- How did it go? - We can't enter.
We can't even find out who the attendees are.
- Someone's coming. - Oh, someone is here.
(Park Dong Geon)
It's the attendance list for the investment briefing.
If the chairman was there,
the attendees must have seen him.
I found out about it by chance after I became a minister.
Send the whole security staff to my room.
- Bring Minister Park here. - Yes, sir.
Minister.
The mayor would like to talk to you.
The mayor?
Who gave you the attendance list?
- Why are you asking? - Out of curiosity.
I don't have any reason to tell you, do I?
As a former journalist, you must know you should protect your source.
You were there.
What? Me?
You were at the investment briefing.
If I was there, I would've seen the chairman myself.
Then why would I do this? It would only put me in danger.
Exactly.
Why are you doing this?
I took those photos.
If you really wanted to help Detective Kim,
you could've just told him what you saw.
Why did you choose to do this when it would only put you in danger?
Minister Park.
What kind of relationship do you have with Human B?
Now that you're being so straightforward,
it's very hard for me to not tell you anything.
How should I explain this?
Mayor Yoon.
Remember how Human B...
tried to insert a care chip into Detective Kim?
Why do you think they did that?
Why would they even take the risk of kidnapping him in Smart City?
Stop trying to change the subject.
I asked what your relationship is with Human B.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Why do you think they kidnapped him and tried to insert a chip into him?
They obviously wanted to shut him up.
Exactly.
Then what would be the easiest way to shut him up?
Memory lock.
But Joon Hyeok doesn't have a care chip.
What are you trying to say?
I'm saying that...
the reason they kidnapped him...
was because he didn't have...
a care chip inserted in his head.
But...
there's no need to do that to someone...
who already has one.
No way.
It's nice to meet you, Mayor Yoon.
I'm Park Dong Geon, the chairman of Human B.
It's nice to meet you, Mayor Yoon.
I'm Park Dong Geon, the chairman of Human B.
Yes, sir.
Bluebird was Han Jeong Yeon.
Detective Kim was Kim Beom Gyun.
Hyeon Seok, we'll need to come up with a scenario.
I should stay close to Kim Joon Hyeok.
Arrest them.
Let's go.
Joon Hyeok. Joon Hyeok.
Why are you so surprised?
I thought you wanted to see me.
How could this be?
Mayor Yoon, do you know what the most dangerous emotion is?
It's curiosity.
This is illegal. I'm going to report this.
I said...
I'm the chairman of Human B.
Meanwhile, you have...
a care chip in your head that was made by me.
Delete it.
(Yoon Hak Joo)
Why did you have to keep asking me questions?
You gave me a headache.
My gosh.
Mayor Yoon. Mayor Yoon!
Security. Security!
Mayor Yoon.
Mayor Yoon. Mayor Yoon.
Call for help right now.
Yes, sir.
9pm on the 13th at Smart City.
156-9, the rooftop of Goyeon Building.
It's not a list of participants. It's an address for each care chip.
We'll be able to access the videos of each person's memory...
if we follow this address.
I'm Lee Hyeon Seok, a director at Human B.
What happened to the mayor?
We checked our control system and we found out that...
Bluebird attacked him by hacking into his care chip.
Bluebird got rid of his whole memory.
He won't be able to live a normal life even if he wakes up.
- My goodness. - How did this happen?
- This makes no sense. - Unbelievable.
- My gosh. - How is this possible?
The situation is clear. Smart City is under a terror attack.
We also have a clear goal.
We need to catch this violent culprit who's disobeying the law.
Our duty is to keep Smart City safe and stable.
Article 2, Section 17 of the Special Act on Smart City.
"When the mayor is unable to work due to unfortunate circumstances,"
"the minister of Science and Economy shall act on behalf of the mayor."
Starting from this moment,
the city hall and Human B will work cooperatively to catch Bluebird.
This is my order as the minister of Science and Economy.
Who are you?
Park Dong Geon,
that jerk. He's the one who had this portrait.
It was him.
Why? Is there a problem?
This address doesn't belong to a human being.
It's an artificial intelligence machine.
- It's Human B's supercomputer. - What?
It's a trap.
Our current location is being sent to Human B.
We need to leave right now.
(District 31)
We have her location.
She's at 17-5 at District 31 in Smart City.
(District 31)
Cut off all networks in District 31 and the surrounding areas.
Pardon?
It hasn't entered our system completely.
She must've found out that it was a honey pot.
You're smart, Jeong Yeon.
- Cut them off. - Yes, sir.
(District 31)
(Unable to access the network)
They must've cut off the network.
We need to reach him. Detective Kim is in danger.
Please pick up your phone.
Why won't this connect?
She's over there!
- Get her! - Yes, sir.
They lost Bluebird.
What should we do?
There's one more way we could get her.
Joon Hyeok.
Did you meet the chairman?
No. No one came.
What about Jeong Yeon? Is she safe?
Why? What happened to her?
I think her location got leaked.
Mayor Yoon must've betrayed us.
The security at city hall are on the move.
Mayor Yoon is with Human B.
We need to find her right now.
Joon Hyeok.
There's a place that we agreed to meet with each other.
Minister.
Tell me the truth.
About what?
You know this portrait, don't you?
I've seen that portrait before.
It was in Professor Park Dong Geon's office at Handam University.
I heard it's yours.
This used to be in your office at Handam University.
Why is it now in the Human B chairman's office?
A lot of people could own the same portrait.
Are you the chairman?
I think you're mistaken.
I didn't know this before, but I don't see anything on your neck.
I can see that you don't even have a care chip in your head.
Article 1, Section 1 of the Special Act on Smart City.
"Anyone without a care chip cannot enter Smart City."
Why don't you have a care chip?
What gives you the right to be an exception?
Are you the chairman?
Jeong Yeon is very clever.
She was always clever.
I had to rush myself over here...
because she got clever and escaped.
So tell me. Where is she?
You know where she is, don't you?
You're...
the chairman of Human B?
Yes. It's me.
You kept wanting to meet the chairman.
And now, you finally did.
How do you feel?
What can you change with my memories?
Everything! I can change everything!
Once I find Byul's memories,
the whole world and humanity can change.
It will be the beginning of the great new world...
which no one has ever experienced.
But you could perfectly interpret human brains.
You could save memories as videos...
and manage them. You could even select...
certain parts and lock them up.
Can you imagine?
By locking up the memories, human beings can stop being unhappy.
Byul.
You're the savior of humanity.
Where's Woo Jin?
Where's my brother?
(Circle)
You got it from Dad, didn't you?
What is it that you want to find out so desperately?
I told you to catch him!
Grandma, I need that.
How important is that for you to have killed our students?
We can save Beom Gyun.
Stop right here!
Tell me where Woo Jin is!
Everything you tried to do has failed.
Open this door, you jerks! Open this door!

Jeong Yeon!
If you want to save Woo Jin, you need to regain your memory.
