[dynamic music]
[roars]
[clucks]
- [woman] Pew, pew.
- [chef 2] Rawr.
Pew, pew.
- [chef 2] Rawr.
- [woman] Pew, pew.
[chef 1 thinks] Okay.
I think they feel threatened now.
Mmm I can see
that you're confronting each other.
But, try not to fight us, please.
As you just saw,
we are all quite powerful beings.
What was it that we saw?
We don't have any intentions
to harm any of you.
- Harm us? What do you mean?
- Don't be scared.
- [all] Don't be scared.
- Of what?
What do you want?
And why are you all here?
Are these the reason you're here?
You know what these machines are?
Of course we do. Because they're ours.
- [gasps]
- [Choi gasps]
You've come to our restaurant, right?
- Your daughter turned into a nugget.
- You telling me you know how they work?
- I told you, they're our machines.
- What's happening?
Are you really the owners
of these machines?
- Yes, we are.
- Did you guys make those?
Our race made those machines.
Your race?
- That is bullshit.
- But are you even humans?
[gasps]
- More or less.
- Don't beat around the bush!
We are hum
I mean, we're basically humans.
Why are you even asking
a question like that?
And what do you mean by "basically"?
It's all a lie.
Humans can't own these machines.
That's enough, please!
We need to take them down.
We all have incredibly strong powers.
You saw that!
- But what did we see?
- Please don't be scared!
- [all] Don't be scared!
- Of what?
- Come on! Go take 'em down!
- [Choi] Quiet!
Tae-man, Larva.
Uh all of you, shut up.
Do not fuck with us.
- You four, tell me straight
- They're lying. They can't be human.
Mr. Choi, let's tie them all up first.
And then, please, just hold on.
Trust me, I beg you.
Well, Uncle,
I don't know if I trust you either.
You spend your time
talking to a mechanical dog.
You should talk! You want to kill your
brother and you pretend to be a Christian!
You shut your mouth, or you'll get hurt.
You assholes, I knew it! Fuck you all.
Crazy bastards!
Someone's life is at stake! Her life!
Once we find the owner of them,
everything will return to normal.
- The whole world is about to change!
- Stop already, you crazy old man.
First we need to take these pricks down!
I'm going to deal with you two first,
you fucking bastards!
- I'm going to kill you!
- Stop! Just wait! Please!
We can prove that we are the owners
of those machines, I promise you!
Okay. Let's calm down.
Let's see what he says. Go ahead.
- [chef 1 sighs]
- But let's tie up the others as hostages.
[Choi] I can't risk my daughter.
But what if they're just
a bunch of fucking freaks?
Is there another way?
Stay out of this if you can't do anything.
But why? Why is your daughter
still stuck as a chicken nugget?
- The machine isn't working.
- Because you don't know how to use it.
I can do it. I can make it work.
[gasps]
We are
what you earthlings call aliens.
We've been living as earthlings.
- [Baek-joong] Wh
- [Choi] Uh
[both gasp]
[mysterious music plays]
[sighs]
[groans]
[chef 2 sighs]
[Kwangdae sighs]
- [woman groans]
- [chef 2 sighs]
[woman grunts]
First, let's look
at the bottom of the Socheon River.
The Socheon River? Just how big is it?
It's smaller than the Han.
Wow. It won't take that long.
Five hundred years?
[woman] Let's eat first. I grabbed
something from that courtesan house.
These are supposed to be
the best thing on Earth.
- Here.
- [chef 1 sniffs]
[laughs]
God. Holy fuck, these taste fucking awful.
Come on, try some more.
We need to get used to their food.
You sound like an earthling now.
You say that word "fuck" quite fluently.
That's because we are fucking earthlings.
Motherfucker.
[Kwangdae] That sounds human.
Earthlings here are still
a very foul-mouthed race.
And yet they write so beautifully.
Let's not get used to this kind of thing.
I don't think
I'll get used to this food either.
When can we go home?
How long will it take?
[chef 1] Two hundred years.
It's been over two hundred years.
We are earthlings,
and at the same time, aliens.
You know, when you bring cows from abroad
and raise them for a while?
Then call them domestic beef?
We're something like that.
Domestic aliens. Wait.
I mean, earthling alien, uh
Hu human? What?
- What are we?
- Stop it! Stop it!
We're trying to save Min-ah!
Stop being so selfish right now!
I'm not the one being selfish,
Yellow Pants!
- [dramatic music playing]
- I am trying to save the world.
The world that you live in
and the one your children will inhabit!
- Stop being so delusional! God!
- Aliens!
All right. Aliens.
That was one of the theories
I had considered.
If this is true, then you must prove it.
Jesus fucking Christ!
A capability that's beyond human.
Come on! Show me!
If you really are aliens, go!
- Go ahead and take me down!
- We can't do that.
On Earth, we aren't allowed
to use any power beyond human ones.
If we break that rule, we'll be punished.
- [music slows and stops]
- [Choi sighs]
[sighs]
An old nephew,
his weird uncle, and four crazy aliens.
They wanna take these machines from us.
- We need to take them all down.
- You're goddamn right.
No, you won't!
- [Epicyon whirrs]
- I thought you'd try something like that.
Hah!
- [crackles]
- This won't be easy.
Do you really think you can win?
Can humans beat technology?
- A desperate father can.
- [chef 1] Enough!
We'll have no choice
but to use our power if you continue.
We could really hurt you!
Then do it, I dare you!
First let's turn the chicken nugget into
Sorry, the human
Let's bring everything back to as it was.
Shouldn't that come first?
So, I'll look at the machines.
Don't move! These are mine!
- Something a human can't own!
- I'll take care of the batty old lunatic.
Then I'll take care
of the other batty old lunatic.
- [fluttering]
- Let's take them down first.
Ah!
- Thunder!
- [tense music plays]
- [grunts]
- [whirrs]
I did warn you all! Please, just listen!
- [grunts]
- I told you, we can prove it.
Let's bring back the person first!
You haven't even mentioned a solution,
but you want war?
Is this what you believe is right?
It's beyond ridiculous!
You humans always drive your friends
and family into the battlefield like this,
and feed the petty greed
of those who avoid death.
- [Yoo sighs]
- [breathing shakily]
Mmph
[grunts]
Is that wrong?
[thinks] This is no good.
I don't think they'll listen to us.
We need an alternative.
[thinks] If we end up using our power,
they will get hurt,
and we will get punished.
[thinks] What do we do?
[chef 1] We cannot intervene
in a war among earthlings.
As always, let's stay away
from their fight as much as possible.
- We cannot let them attack us.
- Please help her.
- [chef 1 thinks] Threaten them!
- [shuffling]
[Yoo grunts]
Missile!
- [sound of missile roaring overhead]
- Hup!
- [roaring fades]
- Missile!
[sound of missile roaring overhead]
[thinks] A missile
is the most fearful thing on Earth.
- Missile!
- [chef 2] Oooh!
[imitating explosion]
- Uhh Nuke!
- [loud explosion]
[Kwangdae] Missile!
- [making whooshing sounds]
- [explosion rumbling]
- Nuke!
- [loud explosion]
[thinks] You've got to make it specific.
[Kwangdae] Missile!
[silence]
[chef 2] Nuke!
- [making whooshing sounds]
- [Baek-joong] Oh.
- Nuke!
- [Baek-joong yelps]
- [Kwangdae] Missile!
- [Baek-joong whimpers]
[gasps]
- A deer!
- [chiming]
[shudders]
[groans]
- Uh
- Huh?
- What, the
- A deer?
[woman thinks] A deer that looks like me.
Isn't that scary?
Ah
- Missile!
- [chef 2 squeaking]
- Go away! Stop it!
- [Kwangdae] Missile!
- [snaps fingers]
- BTS!
- [chef 2 making whooshing sounds]
- BTS!
[thinks] No one on Earth
can mess with BTS.
[gasps]
- Oooh!
- Aah!
- [chef 1 humming]
- [snaps fingers]
BTS.
[gasps] Oh shit, I almost danced along.
- [sighs]
- Missile!
- Nuke!
- A deer!
- BTS!
- Missile!
- Whooo!
- A deer!
- Missile!
- BTS.
- Nuke!
- A deer!
We need to stop these assholes!

You've arrived!
I was right!
- [gasps]
- Oh!
- [yells]
- No!
[Tae-man screaming]
- Are you crazy?
- You can't attack humans!
We need to go.
Let's go home.
Oh, no! My daughter.
- Min-aaaaah!
- [Baek-joong] Mr. Choi!
[panting]
[yells]
[wails]
Stop it!
If you attack humans, you'll have to live
on the Planet of Darkness alone forever!
It's okay.
I've killed a human already.
That was an accident.
There was room for forgiveness!
[crackling]
Look at the machines.
They ran out of their energy.
They won't work anymore.
We can use the emergency reserves
if we take them to the space station.
I deserve punishment,
I'll go first.
I'll let them know our situation.
Then they will come to get you.
Then, um
Are you going to live here?
We have no other choice.
I will take responsibility for everything.
[Choi] Bullshit.
[wheezing]
Okay, fine.
Whether you're aliens,
or God, or whatever,
in any case,
they'll work one last time.
Step back.
I also have things to look after.
[Choi] Then kill me.
That's the only way.
You see, I won't back down, even if I die!
[yells]
[wails]
[Baek-joong] If the machines are yours
[panting]
aren't you accountable for it?
There was an accident,
but all you care about is saving yourself?
That doesn't make any sense!
- [wails]
- Stop, stop it!
- You can't go any further!
- We need to go back.
You need to get out of here.
[yelling]
[yells]
- Baekjung!
- [panting]
[Baek-joong and Choi yelling]
[Kwangdae and woman weeping]
[Baekjung and chef 2 panting]
[Choi yells]
- [gasping]
- What? Drained already?
[wails]
[groans]
- [woman sobbing]
- [Kwangdae groans]
[Yoo] You uncivilized bastards.
They are the masters!
You can never win!
[yelps]
[wheezing] Bring back my daughter.
- [woman continues sobbing]
- [sighs]
They also have families
I need to get them to.
[Choi] You bastard.
It doesn't matter.
What about me?
I want my daughter!
Stop, stop!
[sobbing] Please, stop it!
I may have an idea.
There is a way.
[sighs]
Damn, these fucking bastards.
Listen, Baekjung could take your daughter
back to our home planet,
then turn your daughter
back into herself there.
And then she could come back here
when they return for us.
Do you expect me to do that?
[Baekjung] You can believe us.
- It's one day.
- [Choi] One day?
[emotional music plays]
But
fifty years on Earth
is only one day on our planet.
- That's bullshit!
- [chef 2] At least
[sniffles] At least your daughter
will not die.
[gasps] We have families, too.
We also have our home.
[sniffles] We feel love, too.
We love our families.
We love our friends, too. [sobs]
And significant others
- [Choi] Stop!
- [whimpers]
You are fucking monsters.
In fifty years, I'll be 105!
We've been stuck here
for two hundred years.
We can't harm any life.
We can't lie, either.
That's the way we've evolved. [sniffles]
I promise your daughter will return.
If she comes back after we die,
then it's like Min-ah's dead to us here.
Even though she'll return one day,
we'll all be dead to her!
[Kwangdae, sobbing] We're sorry.
[chef 2, sobbing] We're sorry.
[Choi weeping]
All I have is my Min-ah.
[sniffles] I was just
I was alive with my daughter,
and then you took that away.
Poor Min-ah.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Such a kind person.
[sobbing] Min-ah.
No, Mr. Choi. This isn't right! it's not!
Don't listen to them, please!
Mr. Choi, no, you can't forgive them.
We'll We we must
We need to get Min-ah back.
[Yoo] You uncivilized bastards.
Who forgives who here?
They are the true leaders!
- [thump]
- [yelps]
[clattering]
Huh?
Huh!
[Choi gasps] Min-ah!
- Min-ah!
- [Baek-joong] Hey!
- [Choi] No!
- Hey!
You. Tell me how to work these.
If anyone knows how, start talking!
Tell me now!
They don't work.
- They don't work!
- Shut it!
You, you just always
keep looking down on me.
- Me?
- I can see it in your eyes!
No, my eyes aren't like that.
Please, calm down.
Tae-man, pu put her down.
I can't stand the way
Yellow Pants is always looking at me.
Hey. You. Am I a joke to you?
No. No!
Mr. Yoo, I never looked at you like that.
Calling me "Mr." all of a sudden.
This fucking bastard.
- You are making fun of me, huh?
- Fine! I won't call you that, asshole.
I'll just stand here!
- [Tae-man] Don't move!
- Don't move. Don't move.
[chuckles] Okay, E.T.
You kicked my ass a minute ago.
Do it again. Do it now.
- [gasps]
- No!
Huh. Cold shoulder?
[sighs] Ignoring me again, huh?
- [sighs] Again?
- No, no!
My life has been fucking miserable.
I I'm not that kind of person.
Okay, okay.
[Tae-man] I am not a loser.
Not a loser
I'm really cool.
Let me show you, okay?
I'll show you.
- Oh! No! Don't!
- Min-ah!
Min-ah!
- [Baek-joong] Min-ah!
- [Choi yells]
[Baek-joong] Oh!
Min-ah! [sobbing]
[sighs]
[Choi] Min-ah, are you okay?
Thunder
Thunder
[Tae-man panting angrily]
[wind gusting]
[soft creaking]
[Choi breathing shakily]
Let's go.
Let's go, Min-ah.
Mr. Choi. [grunts]
What are you doing?
Space station?
You said you need to go there.
Min-ah
you'll have to travel quite far.
- [gasps]
- [Choi] My daughter.
[sobs]
Min-ah.
[Choi and Baek-joong weeping]

[Baek-joong singing in Korean]
