EPISODE 3
Show me the footage of my office.
From five minutes ago.
Did I miss something?
The corridor too, right?
I guess your subordinates
wash that for you too.
I was emptying your trash can
and thought I could wash this too.
I apologize.
I won't touch anything in this room again.
Now we know the school Kim Manok attended
and the last place he lived
-And his orphanage.
-Can you go there? The orphanage?
Yes.
JUNG SAEBYEOK
CALLS
Hello? Jung Saebyeok speaking.
Pardon?
IT'S ME, SONG
You're the only person who can make this
for me. You specialize in biopsy evidence.
My phone number that I never gave you,
and even my work experience.
What else do you know?
If you help me, I'll share every piece
of information I get with this.
It's illegal.
No, it's not.
It's just one of my company's bylaws.
We're not allowed to enter the 13th floor,
but that's just a line drawn by
my higher-ups to monopolize information.
You're not obliged to follow that.
To lift the fingerprints,
I need to use the equipment in here.
And that's illegal.
Using it for personal reasons.
But it's to catch the accomplice.
What if you find the murderer,
but she shows up,
helps him flee, and disappears again?
What are you going to do then?
All the information about her is
on the 13th floor of my office building.
You just need to help me get in there.
-You told me to stay out of it.
-That didn't stop you yesterday.
What's your name?
I'm sorry.
I'm Kim Saeha.
Mr. Kim Saeha.
It doesn't seem
you're doing this out of curiosity.
Seeing how you're desperate
to enter the 13th floor,
I don't think it's because you're
pissed off by the line they drew.
You won't help me unless
you're convinced why I'm doing this?
Who said I'd help you?
You promised me to let me in on it.
If you betray me,
I'll go talk to your boss.
Sure.
How long will it take?
I checked the culprit's phone records.

It was the messages, right?
You realized she tore out the vent cover.
She informed the culprit
of the escape route.
BATHROOM
KIM MANOK
Did you get the fingerprint results?
The one you collected yesterday.
No matches on them.
I went through the national database.
I even checked the entry logs in Korea
in case she was a foreigner.
Still no matches.
BATHROOM, UNDER THE TRUCK
UNDER THE TRUCK
Why did she do that for him?
What's their relationship?
How are these so clear?
First, I scan it and create a 2D image.
SENDING IMAGE
How did you get the value
of the thickness?
That's always the hardest part.
If it's thick, it's stable,
but it's unrecognizable
because electrical currents
can't pass through it.
To make it stick to the skin, and
for electrical current to pass through it…
Wait. You know
about the thickness setting?
You've tried it yourself, haven't you?
You've tried forging a fingerprint before.
Detective.
I must've been out of my mind.
Let go of me.
You can kill me later.
-Kill you for what?
-Please help me.
Please complete it.
Yes.
I have tried to make it myself.
But I failed every time,
so I couldn't try it at work.
If you make it for me
and I use it for some other purpose,
you can shoot me. I don't care.
What would you say
if I asked why you're doing this?
You don't care why I'm doing this.
You want to know who she is too.
That's why you decided to work with me.

About 15 minutes.
Lay out your hand.
I guess the AB is
only interested in the woman
and not the murderer.
But we must catch the culprit to find her.
If she really is his accomplice.
You guys are the opposite of us.
We tried to get the accomplice
in order to get the culprit.
You tried to catch the one
who would disappear in a flash?
Your colleagues didn't believe you, right?
I should've listened to Captain
and not mentioned the woman in the report.
Then I wouldn't have found out.
Done.
Thank you.
Don't go to Strong Teeth Dentist anymore.
Special forces will be guarding it.
Those people are uncompromising.
And the person who just called was Eojin.
Okay.
What?
If you get to talk to him,
please don't mention this.
I won't talk to him.

Isn't that why you wanted

EXTERNAL HARD DISK DRIVE
FOLDER 2
I was at my desk the whole time.
No outsiders entered the building.
It was Sunday,
so only a few people entered at all.
I don't know how it happened
About the child
He said there was no one else
to look after the child.
He practically begged and promised
to keep him only in the storage room.
So I let the kid in.
I'm really sorry.
I came out when my weekend shift ended,
and I saw a man on the ground
and a child next to him.
Ms. Choi.
It was one of our janitors.
His body was burned black,
and it also reeked.
After calling for emergency services
The child
I didn't know the kid,
but he seemed so shocked,
so I stayed with him in the lobby
until an ambulance came.
That's all I saw.
I didn't see any woman.
I didn't even know something like that
had happened in the laboratory building.
I don't know… how it happened.
We came after we got a report, and…
I arrived first and went to the lobby.
He seemed to have died on the spot.
His heart had already stopped,
and I could still smell the burnt flesh.
Sorry?
No. The female staff member
was the only woman I saw.
The lady who was with the child.
We didn't think it would be right
to have the child in the same ambulance
as his father's body,
so we were going to call
another ambulance.
But she said it would still be the same
as going with the dead body
and offered to take the child
to the hospital herself.
And after that…
Well, that's about it
since the child's father was dead.
No.
That's not all.
And the person
who just called was Eojin.
CALLS
INVESTIGATOR JUNG SAEBYEOK
I'm sorry for making you come here.
Whatever.
Let's go over there.

AUSTRALIA, RUSSIA, SPAIN
Is this it?
Yes.
Wait, the time differences are…
They're all around the same time.
It was Sunday, May 18, 1997 in Korea.
From 8:58 p.m. to 9:05 p.m.
Europe, Korea and even Australia?
She appeared in all those places
in ten minutes on the same day?
Not even Santa Claus
could travel that fast.
She probably killed someone
because she isn't Santa Claus.
Do you recognize her?
Sorry?
The person who disappeared
right before your eyes.
Is it her?
Or is it not?
No?
Are you asking me if the person
caught on camera in 1997
is the same person I saw a few days ago?
Is it her?
She looks like her.
I could say they're the same person.
She travels from continent to continent
in a few minutes.
And she hasn't aged at all
for over 20 years.
Her appearance…
By any chance, did she have a weapon
in her hand when she attacked you too?
What kind of weapon is that?
Burning a person in only a few seconds?
We must catch her
before she does something like that again.
Consider yourself lucky
because she didn't do that to you.
If she did, you wouldn't be here now.
You know about the weapon, don't you?
What is it made of?
I don't know either.
Though I heard
he seemed to have been electrocuted.
Something like this?
She used it on you too?
But how…
How am I still alive?
I don't know.
It happened so quickly.
I didn't even know I got this wound.
Maybe that's why.
Because it touched my arm only briefly?
But wasn't it hot?
Or didn't it feel weird
when it touched you?
No.
She only went to labs
and engineering colleges.
What did she do in those places?
She seemed to be operating some machines.
She set up the Grid.
That's when the project started. In 1997.
This woman started the Grid project?
"What did this person do here?"
That question was the beginning.
That's how they learned
that it was possible
to build a magnetic field shield.
If it weren't for her…
Then we wouldn't be here now.
The earth was covered
with the Grid in 2004.
The sunspots exploded
right after the Grid was complete.
They say if the solar wind
had come a year earlier,
two-thirds of mankind would have died.
The Grid is even in textbooks
as the greatest achievement of mankind.
But…
"But that was actually done by a murderer
who burned a man to death right
before his child's eyes."
They can't put that in the textbooks.
I saw her with my own eyes.
But I feel like a fool to believe it.
Wait, she came to save mankind.
Why did she murder a person then?
It wasn't accidental.
She definitely planned it.
And why did she
show up again after 24 years
only to help
the convenience store murderer?
I'm sorry,
but I can't stay out for a long time.
You can kill me later.
If you make it for me
and I use it for some other purpose,
you can shoot me. I don't care.
Who's the man that was killed?
An employee.
A janitor
of the Institute of Radio Research.
She isn't just any woman.
She's our savior.
If we were directly exposed
to the solar wind,
we would have all
been destroyed by radiation.
Why don't you tell the bereaved
of the convenience store owner?
That she's our savior even though
she helped the person who killed your dad.
Why did he bring him to his workplace?
He looked like his son.
I guess there was no one else
to look after him.
Did the janitor try to stop her
from building the Grid?
If that was the case,
for the sake of humanity--
It's okay to kill a person?
Why are you so serious?
I was only guessing why.
Just don't say things
that would make me serious.
Bye.
He must be completely whipped by his wife.
Hello?
Why did she do that
when she had such abilities?
What do you mean?
Why did
she show up in front of me?
If she has the ability
to travel through time and space,
she could've just told the culprit,
"Detectives are coming, so run that way."
And then she could've left the place too.
Don't you think?
Then I wouldn't have learned of
her existence in the first place.
Wouldn't that have been easier for her?
Why did she attack me?
She can just disappear whenever she wants,
so she doesn't mind being seen?
Would that be it?
We have questions but no answers.
All right.

Do we go in?
I told you to wait.
Any signs of Alpha?
No, sir. We don't see her.
Major, but…
Major.
Go in.
I did hear some sounds.
But what if it's not him?
I don't want to cause you
any inconvenience.
He's moving towards C Coast.
He just passed
through the alley behind the motels.
He's running towards
the large grocery store straight ahead.
The subway station?
Keep a close distance.
-To the subway station.
-Yes, sir.
The train for Namyangsan
is now approaching.
The train is now approaching.
Please take a step backward.
He got on the northbound train.
Did you find him?
Do you see Beta? Did you lose him?
They hopped on the subway
and are on their way to the car
where Beta is in.
We need to get to the next station first
and join them.
Beta is right in front of you guys.
Do you see him?
Cameras.
C1. At eleven o'clock.
C2. At two o'clock.
C3. Walk two meters forward.
C4. Stay where you are.
Presumably in her late 20s or 30s.
Alpha's height is between
165 and 170 centimeters.
It's highly likely that she's armed.
The next station is Gudong.
The doors are on your right.
Beta is right in front of you guys.
Do you see him?
I don't see him yet…
C1.
C1. What's wrong?
The next station
is Gudong. The doors are on your right.
He's still on the train.
Get him before the next stop!
Open this.
Open it!
Hey!
I'll kill you when I get you.
I swear I'll kill you!
Open it!
Open it right now!
Open it!
Open this! Open it right now!
Hey!
There's a person locked up in here!
Help!
Help!
