[Seul-ah screaming]
[machine gun firing]
We have an incident in District 5-7.
- District
- [gun firing]
[man groaning] Fuck.
[5-8 panting lightly]
[Sa-wol] Are you the legendary 5-8?
I'm Sa-wol. Yoon Sa-wol.
[suspenseful music playing]
[radio beeping]
- 4-1.
- [4-1] Go ahead.
- Got a situation. Move it.
- [4-1] Got it.
[Seol-ah breathing heavily]
[music fades]
[somber music playing]
[Seol-ah gasping]
Sergeant Lee.
Let's get started.
- [radio beeping]
- Come in.
LIVING ROOM LIGHTS
[suspenseful music playing]
[machine whirring, beeping]
[computer trilling, chiming]
Looks like it's related to the kidnappings
in the General Districts.
Be thorough as you investigate.
Provide the report when you're done.
We'll investigate.
I assure you that we'll be thorough.
But the room, you're aware that
I'm aware of the consequences.
Please don't say that.
We're all on your side here, Major.
[Seol-ah breathing heavily]
[Seul-ah] Unni!
He opened his eyes!
Unni, the refugee boy is awake!
[dramatic music playing]
[Sa-wol breathing heavily]
Tell me what your name is.
[breath shuddering]
Sa-wol.
Yoon Sa-wol.
[Sa-wol panting]
[tense music playing]
[Sa-wol grunting]
[4-1] How do you feel? How's your head?
[Sa-wol groaning]
[Seul-ah] Yoon Sa-wol!
[Sa-wol roaring]
[gun firing]
Where am I?
Seul-ah. Where's Seul-ah?
You can't move around yet.
Why are you here?
[Sa-wol breath shuddering]
Let go. I have to go see Seul-ah.
Let go! Let me go!
The girl is dead.
That's not true.
You can't do anything over there anyway.
Don't lie to me.
I'll go see for myself.
[straining] Let go.
Let go of me!
[Sa-wol grunting, groaning]
[Sa-wol exhaling]
I think the bullet was stopped
by his skull.
- If it really is what it appears to be
- That's enough for today.
Let's keep this between us for now.
Okay.
You want me to have a look at that?
No, I'm fine.
[door opening, closing]
[suspenseful music playing]
It's not just a rumor.
[music fades]
[sinister music playing]
[somber music playing]
[Seol-ah breath shuddering]
MS. JUNG SEUL-AH'S CREMATION IS COMPLETE
[rock music playing over radio]
[grunting in frustration]
Didn't I tell you that this will break
if you stepped on it too hard?
Last time I fixed it real good,
I made it sturdy,
but you always bring it back in here.
You mess around with it.
Ugh, Gramps [sighing]
You know I'm not the only person
using this groundwater pump.
Everyone uses it,
different strengths and stuff.
That's why it keeps getting broken.
You know it's true.
[smacking lips] You might be right.
[sighing] Okay, so how's the water?
Is the flow strong?
It's not so great these days.
The water just dribbles out.
We, uh, gotta find a new place real soon.
Well, they're pretty good
at finding groundwater.
Take them and look for it together.
[man grunting]
[door opening]
[somber music playing]
[mask whirring]
Everything with Sa-wol
must have been difficult.
It was a relief
knowing you were there for him,
and I'm so glad
all of his friends were here too.
So what's wrong?
Did something happen to him?
SPECIAL DISTRIC
[indistinct chatter]
[announcer] We are now at
the Government Building, Special District.
We ask that the Special District workers
abide strictly by the working hours
set by the government in order to prevent
an oversupply of oxygen.
I'm glad we're meeting so often now.
I'm not sure glad is the feeling.
Right this way.
Should the victim's family
be allowed to investigate?
How did you know that?
Family pictures.
You were beside the victim.
And now I'm seeing you.
We're taking your statement
about the incident at District 5-7.
Deliveryman 5-8,
you were the first person to report it,
that's why we brought you
to the meeting room
instead of the investigation room.
Let's get started.
[tense music playing]
You've heard about the kidnappings
in the General Districts?
Yes.
What they all have in common
is that the security cameras
in the district freeze up,
and the memory cards in the houses
recording entry and exit disappear.
However, what's different
about this instance is the fact that
There was a murder.
Right.
It's actually the only murder,
and there's a witness
who had called in the case.
If all of the victims open their doors
without any suspicion,
then we can narrow down the person
on the other side of the door
to their family, soldiers, or possibly
You brought me in as a witness,
and now I'm a suspect?
Every deliverman's work
is recorded by the minute.
That provides a solid alibi.
I'm just leaving the possibility open.
It's not unreasonable to think
that you could have allowed
a level of access.
You may have opened the door.
You believe I helped the murderers
and then decided to report it all later?
Then walk me through everything
you happened to see as the first reporter.
I heard a gunshot
[gun firing]
[door slamming]
and when I got inside, it was over.
SIMULATION COMPLETE
FIVE DECEASED
How many murders were there?
Did no one ever count the bodies?
The only bodies remaining
were the victim's bodies.
Do you remember what they looked like?
Anything to help us?
[gun firing]
I'm not sure. It was an awful scene.
Why did you leave the scene
before the military arrived?
You know a deliveryman and his schedule.
Timeliness is everything to us.
[Seol-ah scoffing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Do I look like a joke to you?
I think you're the one
who thinks I'm a joke.
I know the simulation shows you the
movements of the culprits who were there.
I think there's more you wanna know here.
The urgent delivery that gave me
no choice but to leave the scene.
I'd be curious
about where that delivery was headed.
I guess that's enough for now.
I'm behind on my work.
[computers trilling]
FIVE DECEASED
[man] The primary suppression is over.
Enter the building and eliminate
all remaining refugee rioters.
CHEONMYEONG MUST BE BROUGHT DOWN
[ominous music playing]
[machine gun firing in distance]
[machine gun firing]
- [gun firing]
- [Seol-ah gasping]
[man] Jung Seol-ah, get it together.
I'm sorry, sir.
[Seol-ah breathing heavily]
[gun firing]
[dramatic music playing]
[Seol-ah breathing heavily]
[Sa-wol] Please help me.
[door opening, closing]

[tense music playing]
[somber music playing]
Yoon Sa-wol.
You don't remember anything?
I've got memory flashes,
but my head hurts too much.
Whenever the pain goes away,
I can't remember a thing.
Sorry.
I survived alone.
I should have protected her.
Don't say that.
I'm so glad you survived.
I mean it.
Seul-ah was the reason
you couldn't leave here.
You had been stuck at home
going stir-crazy.
Go, be with your friends.
You were like family, so I stayed.
And it wasn't that I was going crazy here,
it was that I felt bad
when I thought about the two of you.
[emotional music playing]
This is
Just please stay alive.
I'll come by once in a while.
[Sa-wol crying]
Thanks for everything.
I wanna thank you
for saving me and raising me
and the scoldings too.
Thank you so much for everything.
[Sa-wol sobbing]
[computer] Air purification in progress.
Pollution level three.
[tense music playing]
[5-8 chuckling]
Should I do a search
or just wait?
[music fades]
[Dummy] God, I'm exhausted. [sighing]
[Dumb-dumb] Me too. Ugh!
[Dummy groaning]
Didn't find him, or what?
No, man, he was nowhere to be found.
God, that fool's gotta be alive, right?
His sister came here.
She wouldn't have done that
if he were dead.
That idiot! I
Whenever I do end up finding him,
I'm gonna beat him half to death.
You think you could beat Sa-wol?
Really? [scoffing]
What? Why not? You don't think we could?
Grandpa.
Sa-wol must feel so guilty
he probably wishes he was dead.
Probably, yeah.
[engine rumbling]
[ominous music playing]
[man] You're playing games now, or what?
Just beat me up.
[man] What?
Or kill me if you want.
What the hell? Are you insane?
[both grunting]
[Sa-wol panting]
[dramatic music playing]
[man] Get him!
[men grunting]
[Sa-wol grunting]
[Useless] See? I told you.
He must've wanted someone
to be beat him half to death.
[Dummy] Oh my God, those dirty bastards.
[Dumb-dumb] They're gonna kill him!
Grab anything you can find, all right?
[man grunting]
[Sa-wol breathing heavily]
[man] You're gonna suffocate
out here anyway, so why don't I help?
- [Dummy] Stop it, you jerks!
- [all shouting]
[shouting subsides]
[breathing heavily]
[man] So the whole gang's gone crazy.
- [Useless] Um
- [Dumb-dumb] Shoot.
[man] Fine, tonight you're all gonna die!
Guys, stay back!
- [Dumb-dumb] Uh oh.
- Just stay there!
[all] Sa-wol!
[Sa-wol grunting, groaning]
[Sa-wol breathing heavily]
[inaudible]
[ominous music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[bus horn honking]
[man] We are recruiting
construction workers.
After the contract is over, you will be
given a year's worth of oxygen and food.
We are recruiting construction workers.
After the contract is over, you will be
given a year's worth of oxygen and food.
[5-8] Hundreds of refugees
have gone into District A recently.
[man] They're desperate
to finish construction.
Who do you think will be in charge
of the relocation plan?
The government? Or Cheonmyeong?
If the construction is completed
like this, wouldn't it be Cheonmyeong?
[5-8] Any hope of refugees living
in General District's will disappear.
[man sighing]
When you go to District A,
delay their work as much as you can.
You have a knack for nonchalantly
ordering people to do difficult things.
[5-8 chuckling]
[man] We are recruiting
construction workers.
After the contract is over, you will be
given a year's worth of oxygen and food.
Don't you think the sun's gotten
a bit brighter?
[man breathing deeply]
And my future has gotten darker
considering I have to get on that bus.
[man laughing]
[5-8] No, it's getting brighter.
[Dumb-dumb] I was gonna beat him up.
What an idiot.
It's been two whole days.
Maybe he's co coma, uh
What's the, uh
What's the word, "comatose"?
[Dumb-dumb] I I think he is.
Hey,
would it make me a piece of total garbage
if I said I was hungry?
You've always been pieces of garbage,
so just go make some food.
Okay. Well, you gotta eat.
[Useless sighing]
You know, I got into my first fight ever
because of you.
And now I'm 0 and 1.
[chuckling]
[funky dramatic music]
[inaudible]
[door opening, closing]
He's still out?
You know, actually it's better
because he's not awake and suffering
Sleep restores your body,
your heart, and your mind.
[man breathing deeply, sighing]
[ominous music playing]
You little shit! I was gonna help you live
like a human being.
Wake the hell up.
Mr. Ryu Seok, CEO of Cheonmyeong Group.
I can't reach you for days,
and you call yourself my cousin?
How do you think
that make me look to Mr. Ryu?
The people we kidnapped
where are they being sent?
There were talks of human experiments
and other horrible things.
You moron. Stop with all your nonsense!
[5-7] I can't do it.
Can't be the key
and a deliveryman.
[sighing] They're both too much.
5-7,
what is the problem?
Is it really so hard to be the key
to the General Districts?
You think we're taking these people away
and hurting them?
I I heard it very clearly.
[shuddering] They're killing people,
doing experiments.
You must not understand
what it is I'm doing.
The goal here is not to kill anybody,
it is to save them.
That's why I chose a trustworthy man
such as yourself.
Do you understand now?
[5-7 breath shuddering]
[Ryu breathing deeply, sighing]
[grunting] Very well.
Just one last time.
Play the key for me one last time, okay?
And I'll let you live here
in the Core District
for the rest of your life.
What?
You're being offered everything.
So, say, "thank you."
I'll take care of you Mr. 5-7.
In return
you'll put your life on the line.
Just remember
what's in the back of your head.
[tense music playing]
[man] It's concerning how many
refugee children are disappearing.
I got call about another one yesterday.
[5-8] Where?
It was in Songpa. A boy in his late teens.
[5-8] Witnesses?
Said there were a bunch of men headed
to Gangnam now.
Two are now in Seocho, and one in Yeouido.
Scope's been getting narrower.
No plate on the vehicle.
Same as last time.
A Gangnam vehicle missing plates, huh?
Just need one of those guys.
[man] It's a GPS tracker.
We'll owe you one.
I promise we'll come save you.
[suspenseful music playing]
[5-8] Did they fall for it?
Location confirmed.
We make our move tonight.
[silenced gun firing]
- [man grunting]
- [7-3] Exit secured.
Outside stairway taken care of.
[6-3] Center stairway is open too.
[1-3] Entering the hallway.
[5-8] What about 5-7?
[4-1] He's gone to work.
[suspenseful music swelling]
[man grunting]
[6-3] What the?
[7-3] What's going on here?
[ominous vocalizing]
[4-1] Those psychos.
How could they do this to children?
[ominous music swelling]
[suspenseful music playing]
[music fades]
[somber music playing]
[Useless] Oh man.
[Useless clearing throat, sighing]
[Useless] Sa-wol.
Uh, whenever people die
[Sa-wol] They become stars in the sky?
Don't you give me that bullshit.
- [Useless] Okay.
- [Sa-wol] No
I'd rather they did become stars.
[Useless sighing]
[Dummy] Sa-wol!
[Dummy laughing] Sa-wol!
[Dumb-dumb] You're up! Oh my God!
[both laughing obnoxiously]
[all grunting]
[Dumb-dumb] No!
[Useless yelling]
[all panting]
[Dumb-dumb] Hey, just hold on!
[Useless panicking]
[Sa-wol] Are you kidding me?
[Useless] Oh my God.
My pants my pants are falling!
[Dumb-dumb] What are we gonna do?
[all screaming]
- [Sa-wol] Useless!
- [Dumb-dumb] Useless!
- I can't believe you lost hold of him!
- [man gasping]
[Dummy] I'm sorry!
[man] That looks like fun,
as long as you don't die.
CHEONMYEONG GROUP
[Ryu] What are you thinking
so intently about?
The president came by here.
A disturbance in District A
and a murder in the General Districts.
What's going on up there?
The president's mostly
just a bunch of talk.
She's meddling where she needs not be.
Are you sure you're not crossing the line?
[Ryu chuckling]
That's why I'm giving you a report.
I don't need it.
I've heard all that I need to.
You would take
the word of the president over mine?
[tense music playing]
Listen, Son.
Yes, Father.
Ever since I came here,
I have not trusted anyone.
Especially you.
But why would you not trust me?
I've built this place and developed
the Air Cores to save more people,
even if it is just one.
I see now there's too much
that I have missed
while working on those
for the last few decades.
You envisioned the future,
and you were very accurate.
All the progress we have here
is because of the risks that you made.
[remote beeping]
Tell me what you see
whenever you look up at that.
[Ryu] Stupid people living
in a world you created.
However, they still take for granted
everything that you have provided.
Cheonmyeong wasn't mine yet you said.
I admit that,
but one day soon you will credit me.
[music fades]
[man] I do not know
how big the sorrow is inside your heart.
I would guess that it's quite big.
[somber music playing]
Although, as each day goes by,
it will get smaller.
Just a little bit,
and the next day a little smaller,
and a little smaller after that.
And that's the way it will go.
The smaller the sorrow will become,
each day a bit smaller.
And then it will become a longing
for people who are
are gone.
That's how it works.
Our sorrow becomes our longing.
I'm sad and then angry
but then I start to miss her.
I'm scared that
that I'm gonna forget all these feelings.
[chuckling] Oh, my crazy Sa-wol.
You really are growing up, kid.
[man chuckling]
[IV beeping]
[man] Son.
I do not trust anyone,
especially since coming down here.
The Earth went to hell decades ago,
and the people here
are starting to lose their minds.
You especially.
[ominous music playing]
You don't know I'm dying.
Of course I'm losing my mind.
[tense music playing]
EXIT FIVE
APGUJEONG
APGUJEONG
Okay. So far, all good.
Let's see here. Aha.
They keep getting better
and then worse, but, uh
they may just need more time here.
Did you take a look at this too?
[man chuckling]
From District A.
GENERAL DISTRICT 1-1
What? You got something to say?
You have Yoon Sa-wol, don't you?
Sa-wol?
A bullet bounced off his head
like it was nothing.
It bounced off, you sure?
His recovery speed's incredible.
[tense music playing]
Did you know anything about this,
that he was a mutant?
There was an oxyanium mine
his father worked at.
I know that.
Plenty of radioactive material there.
Those miners' children.
Almost 100 refugee kids
have disappeared so far.
And the kidnappings are now happening
in the General Districts too.
They're all adolescents
around Yoon Sa-wol's age.
So is it really important
that he's a mutant, then?
[5-8 sighing]
He's a mess in body, heart, and mind.
Just please leave him here, for now.
[objects clattering]
[computers trilling]
DISTRICT 5-7 MURDER CASE
[dramatic music playing]
[5-8] You brought me in as a witness,
and now I'm a suspect?
You believe I helped the murderers
and then decided to report it all later?
[computer chiming]
ACCESS DENIED
Sergeant Lee.
The minister's office has ordered
that crimes in the General District
won't be under purview
of the Intelligence Command.
- Because of me?
- Yes.
And the official reply has referenced
the relationship you had with the victim.
[breathing deeply, sighing]
But I wouldn't worry about this.
We've bought ourselves plenty of time.
What are you saying?
We have all the data we could access.
We made several back-up disks
with everything.
I've got the data on the murder.
I've got data for the ten kidnappings
in the General Districts.
And I've backed up
all deliveryman route information.
[Seol-ah sighing]
Thank you, everyone.
Just give us a long vacation
when all of this is over.
How about that, Major?
[all chuckling]
[Seol-ah chuckling]
- Vacation?
- That would be great.
[dramatic music playing]
[computer beeping]
5-7
DELIVERYMAN, CHEONMYEONG GROUP
5-7.
DELIVERY STATION
[ominous music playing]
[objects clattering
[5-7 groaning]
[ominous music playing]
[5-7 coughing]
- [clattering]
- [5-7 gasping]
[suspenseful music playing]
[5-7 gasping, coughing]
[breathing heavily]
[Ryu] He didn't show up
at the meeting place?
[Oh] No, he did not.
[sinister music playing]
CONTROLLER
5-7
[computer beeping]
Nothing else to be done.
[Oh] Uh, sir, I'll knock some sense
into him however I can.
Give him one more chance, please.
Mr. Oh.
Do you know why I do this myself?
Well, I know that it's significant.
[Ryu] Yes.
If I were actually
to make someone else do this,
they may get the wrong idea
that this will never happen to them.
You're right. I'm sorry.
[5-8] The kidnappings
in the General Districts,
you're the key.
Yes.
Who are those tattooed men?
Cheonmyeong's?
[5-7 breath shuddering]
I'm not sure.
I'm sorry.
I'm the reason
they were dragged off and killed.
[5-7 gasping]
What'd you say? Dragged off where?
Uh, I don't know.
I I'm not sure.
It should be me.
I'm the one who should die. I'm the one.
[5-8] Tell me. What did you hear?
Where were they all taken?
- [5-7 shuddering]
- [device whirring]
The the the human experiments
[5-7 hyperventilating]
What?
- [device zapping]
- [5-7 gasping]
[ominous music playing]
DECEASED
It's too bad.
[Oh] No, sir.
He was always a mess,
a real family embarrassment.
So
the dead target was a younger sister
of one of our majors.
Yes.
I'm told their father was a manager
of an oxyanium mine.
Is the major one of our targets too?
No, sir.
She was born
before he was stationed at the mine.
I was planning to inform you, sir.
OH JI-HWAN
[sinister music playing]
- [device whirring]
- [Oh gasping, groaning]
[Ryu] Mr. Oh,
your work here lately has gotten messy.
[Oh grunting, breathing heavily]
[Oh] Sir, I'm sorry!
I'll never again make that mistake.
[Oh straining]
[stammering] Sir
- I I'm sorry.
- [Ryu sighing]
STOP
[Oh gasping, breathing heavily]
Mr. Oh.
Yes?
Think about how you feel right now
and always remember it.
I will never forget.
Oh, and for the key,
a new deliveryman must be found.
I will go find one.
[Ryu sighing]
No, no.
Mistakes must not be repeated.
We will put on a special event
to distract everyone from our larger plan.
An event, sir? That's perfect.
It's been a while since we put on a show.
[hip-hop music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[man grunting]
- What's his ranking?
- Thirteen, man.
[3-3] Dude must be jacked.
He's taking some big hits.
[both grunting]
Oh, you hear the 5-7 announcement?
What did it say?
Overworking. You believe that? [scoffing]
I've heard of getting killed by hunters,
but overworking? Bullshit.
So when do they choose someone else?
That'll take a little while.
Apparently, this time
they're doing it right.
Doing it right?
Whoa!
[both grunting]
[man panting]
[3-3] Nice one!
[both grunting]
[crowd cheering]
[2-4] Wow. 4-1 really has one nasty kick.
5-8!
5-8, get down here!
Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. [chuckling]
[both chuckling]

[car horn honking]
[Useless grunting]
[Useless] What's this?
[Useless chuckling]
[Useless panting]
[Useless] Here.
[dramatic music playing]
[Useless] You finally have a chance
to make your dream come true.
[radio beeping]
4-1.
I'm here, go ahead.
- We're assembling.
- [4-1] Okay.
Put out the cigarette.
[5-8 chuckling]
Well, what's that?
He's making quite the entrance.
