Grid (2022) s01e09 Episode Script
Episode 9
1
Oh, my.
A girl came over.
I see that your mother is safe.
How did you know my place?
I came here the other day.
When we watched the video of Doctor Kwon.
Do you know my father?
Mr. Kwon Saeha.
There's no one in this country
who doesn't know your father.
Doctor Kwon Sukeun
is the most important figure
in Korean history after Admiral Yi Sunsin
and Sejong the Great.
"A Korean scientist
did research on the Grid
until he collapsed from overwork.
He couldn't see it through to the end
but saved the world after his death."
That's why I was so shocked
when I saw the footage,
when I learned
that one of the greatest men in history
was actually an accomplice to murder.
This is Dr. Kwon Sukeun?
Besides, the person
who showed me that was his son.
What else did I say?
That you didn't understand
why your father did such a thing.
I knew that the Administration Bureau
was hiding something.
But I had no idea
it was something like this.
Because I never imagined back then
that it was me.
That I'd do such a thing.
Because of me…
It's a fire!
Is that when you saw
the world without the Grid?
By any chance, did you see the future too?
Like what happens to us in the future or…
what the world looks like
100 years from now?
No, I couldn't.
I don't know why, but I couldn't move
past the point in time where I came from.
Why is that?
Is it because it hasn't happened yet?
Because it doesn't exist yet?
What time point did you see?
What do you mean?
The other day.
What was it that I saw then?
You said you saw something.
Oh.
I don't know
whether I really saw something or just…
That's not the point.
Let's say the woman perishes if the man
who's to die in 1997 doesn't die.
But what about now?
The solar wind has been blocked,
and everything's been solved.
Why is this happening again?
-What do you mean, again?
-Kim Manok.
He killed another person.
Is it someone I know?
She knew I'd run to the subway station
as soon as I came to the past.
She released him
so I wouldn't be able to arrest him.
And that's why
the cleaning lady was killed.
Was there one more then?
Kim Manok is
the child in the footage.
The janitor's son.
Then ever since then…
Wait a second.
A woman from the future
keeps hovering around a specific person?
And if that goes wrong,
the woman perishes too?
That leads to only one conclusion.
The two are connected.
Related by blood.
Is it a birth from the murderer's family?
Oh, hello.
-I should've said hello to you earlier.
-Oh, no.
We shouldn't be treating
our guest like this.
Goodness. Why didn't you bring her inside?
No, don't mind me. I'm not a guest.
Oh, my. So you're not a guest?
I am a guest.
A guest leaving soon.
-Please, drink.
-Okay. Thank you.
Sure.
I wish we could just say
it's three minus one.
That we saved three people
at the cost of one person's life.
It's two minus one.
But I saw earlier that Eojin
and Ms. Choi were safe.
Your mother too.
That injection.
It was a vitamin shot.
How?
I mean…
What I mean is that it's a great relief.
But what's she trying to pull?
That means she got shot on purpose
and knew that the breakdown
of the Grid was a lie.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have
pretended to harm your mother.
For God's sake.
Is she playing with us or what?
She shouldn't have shown up
in the first place.
She shouldn't have shown up
at the AB in the first place.
You wondered before too
why she showed up before your eyes.
Do you know why now?
Now that you've seen the year 1997?
My father wasn't even considered
a victim at first.
"He happened to be on duty that night
and happened to run into the Ghost.
What…
rotten luck."
That was the conclusion.
The Administration Bureau was only
interested in the janitor in the footage.
Since that was obviously
not a coincidence.
But the AB guessed wrong as well.
It wasn't the janitor.
Since 1997, the Ghost has been
hovering around Kim Manok,
obviously showing us
that she's protecting him.
But is she really protecting him?
She killed his father before his eyes.
And she locked him up
as if he was a beast.
It turns out that she's able to teleport
with someone else.
Why wouldn't she flee with him?
Why do I care who she meets?
Did you park next door?
No, it should be all right.
It wasn't your neighbor.
How does it feel?
No one used to remember your father,
but he's a hero now.
And you're that hero's son.
Do you remember the first time
all your family gathered?
Did you meet your father?
Now I've seen him as an aged man.
He wasn't a hero,
but now I can at least recall his face.
So that's what you left behind.
Ooh!
Take the chicken bones out of the bag.
I told you, they're trash, not food waste.
What chicken?
What the hell? Did she smell it?
Kim Manok is
the child in the footage.
The janitor's son.
The two are connected.
EPISODE 9
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
Ms. Chae. I need you to send
an official document.
The recipient is Nature Orphanage.
MINISTRY OF TRADE, INDUSTRY AND ENERGY
I got this a minute ago
A cop was here, right? You just need
to tell me what you two talked about.
What did you talk about?
She said a man from this orphanage
was suspected of murder.
His name is Kim Manok.
I see.
I told her that I was aware of it
because some woman had come
to ask about him before.
Some woman?
Well, it was an unusual name.
Jongyi or something.
Oh. Go on.
I repeated what I said then.
That Manok was found on a market street
and brought to us,
and looked more like an abandoned child
than a missing child.
Because handicapped children
are more often abandoned.
What handicap?
When he first came here,
he couldn't speak at all.
He seemed to be five or six years old,
but he couldn't speak.
So I thought he was born speech-impaired.
Then how did you know
his name and birth record?
We named him Kim Manok
and re-registered his birth.
Then his record as Lee Siwon
must've been completely deleted.
She said Manok
used to have a family,
though he was adopted.
And his name was Lee Siwon then.
No outsiders entered the building.
It was Sunday,
so only few people entered at all.
I don't know how it happened…
His stepparents ran a business.
But as they went bankrupt,
his stepmother left home.
He said there was no one else
to look after the child.
He practically begged…
But his stepfather passed away.
That's what I just heard
from that police officer.
Manok never said a word
about his stepfamily.
But one day, he suddenly poured out words,
so I remember us saying this.
Maybe he's not handicapped.
Was he traumatized?
Or is he aphasic?"
Seeing that no one reported him missing,
I think his family abandoned him
after his stepfather passed away.
He was adopted when he was one.
Then I'm sure he thought
they were his real family.
How could they
Anything else?
What else did the officer say?
What else? Oh.
She asked me if any woman visited Manok
when he was here, and showed me a picture…
No, should I say it was a sketch?
Anyway, she showed it to me and…
Yes, this is it.
The woman named Jongyi
asked me the same question,
but no one visited him.
How did the officer find out
that Kim Manok and Lee Siwon
were the same person?
She didn't mention that.
She just said
she met Manok's stepmother
before she came here.
Are you suggesting her stepmother told her
Kim Manok's original name was Lee Siwon?
Well, that is…
Well.
I assume she had a way to find that out
since she's a police officer.
Right.
Lee Siwon.
Kim Manok.
She must've gone to see his stepmother
since she knew they were the same person.
Otherwise, she couldn't have linked
Lee Siwon to Kim Manok
no matter what she heard
from his stepmother.
Jung Saebyeok.
How come she knows more than we do?
You remember the
convenience store murderer's accomplice?
Of course, I do.
How can I forget someone
with disjointed DNA?
Oh?
-Is this from her?
-Yes.
Did you compare the criminal's DNA
to hers last time?
-No. There was no request for that.
-Mm.
Is she his family,
not just his accomplice?
Please find that out for me.
If they're related by blood.
Well, considering their ages,
they can't be a parent and child.
-Maybe they're a brother and sister
-No.
What if…
Just hypothetically.
As for direct ancestors
how many generations
can you trace back?
I'm not sure.
Well, in case of a maternal line, we can
trace back as many generations as we want.
But if a paternal line is included,
it becomes ambiguous
after three or four generations
as you probably know.
But one of them can't be
the other's direct ancestor.
Didn't you say they were
around the same age?
Please find out everything you can
about them using all your databases.
-Scour it for any clues?
-Yes.
Okay.
I'm sure you're busy,
but how long will it take?
If I have to run it
through the database, well…
-I'll try to finish by the end of the day.
-Thank you.
-I'll treat you to a nice meal later.
-What?
How about you do it now?
I could use some food.
I have somewhere else to be right now, so…
Thank you for doing this.
Bye.
I'll ask her to buy me dinner then.
Mr. Kwon called and asked for another
-day off
-Mr. Song Eojin.
Yes?
About that child…
Who?
Kim Manok.
-Child?
-Find out his original name.
Did he have a different name?
There's no record of a name change.
How old were you in 1997?
I was nine.
If you were five or six,
do you think you'd remember?
Remember what, ma'am?
If you help me understand your question,
I'll be able to give you a better answer.
Never mind.
She even knew which station
he was last seen at.
If she didn't hear it from her ex-husband…
Did something happen
to Kwon Saeha yesterday?
Did he go out for lunch?
You said he seemed to have had a fight.
No, he looked fine
when he came back from lunch.
But in one or two minutes, he suddenly…
Did he fight with you?
Why would I fight
with my colleague at work?
But then,
if you two had a fight
and Mr. Kwon looked like that,
you'd probably be hurt more…
What? You don't know
what you're talking about.
-I'm taller
-Enough.
How did he look?
Well, his clothes were a mess,
and his cheek was hurt,
so I thought he might have
A security alarm went off too.
I'm not sure what he was carrying though.
Ms. Chae. If you want to brownnose
that moron, do it alone.
Okay.
Hello? Security Office.
Send me yesterday's footage
of the Secretariat's hallway.
The one right after lunchtime. Right now.
The time has come.

will only be disclosed
to the six of you here.
If you let this out and get fired,
It'll be your own fault. All right?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Wait.
Isn't that Mr. Kwon?
Where on earth did he spring from?
And who's that woman?
What did she kill him with?
Did she kill Mr. Kwon too?
It was you.
It wasn't the father but the son.
Yes, Security
Why did
the security alarm go off
on our floor yesterday?
Sorry?
What was Kwon Saeha carrying on him?
A magazine.

RECIPIEN
Ms. Choi found out everything.
You don't have to work anymore.
Go tell them you quit.
Your lunch is in the fridge.
Don't forget to eat it later.
Wait. I'll give you a ride.
No, don't bother.
Goodness, don't run! I'm not late!

What's wrong?
Nothing.
Well, what was the address?
Just type in Mother-in-law's

MOTHER-IN-LAW…
Tell them today that you're quitting.
What's gotten into you?
Anyway, you eat out all the time.
Eat at home at least on your day off.
You've never had a day off.
You'll collapse at this rate.
I'm not that old yet.
Don't treat me like an old person.
It doesn't matter how old you are.
It's about how much you've suffered.
You're the one who's suffered.
Because of me.
What about me?
You're my only child.
But I almost adopted you out
to my brother.
This time too?
I must've been out of my mind. What?
What do you mean, this time too?
Never mind.
But my family name has always been Kwon.
What are you talking about?
Of course, it's Kwon.
What else could it be?
If Uncle had adopted me,
it would've changed.
I know.
I must've been crazy. Goodness.
I shouldn't have started the business.
I almost left you huge debts.
But I raised you well, didn't I?
To be a decent man.
Am I decent?
Of course, you are. You're my son.
Soup kitchen is now open!
Please line up over here.
SOCIAL WELFARE CENTER
GREEN SOUP KITCHEN
SNAIL SOUP KITCHEN
Oh!
Do you not need the company anymore?
Because you have no more questions?
Are you here to persuade me
to go back to work?
How did you do it?
How did you go there?
It must be still vivid in your memory.
To me, it's been over 20 years.
But to someone, it was yesterday.
What memory are you talking about?
The memory of the IRR
putting all the blame on the deceased,
insisting that he died from overwork?
Or the memory of
the IRR people sending out a notice
telling the bereaved to pick up the
mysteriously dead person's body
from the mortuary?
How can you say that when we commemorate
your father's death every year?
Not all my questions have been answered.
I want to know why the labs
from other countries stayed silent.
When you asserted that Doctor Kwon Sukeun
from Korea created the Grid,
why did they keep silent?
Then who were we supposed to say
it was created by?
The Ghost?
What evidence could the AB provide
to support that claim?
Should we have just revealed
the video of the Ghost?
Is that why you used my father?
It was your father's code
that operated the machine.
We have a clear record of that.
-He was murdered because of that code.
-Keep it down.
Do you think
the rest of the world accepted
that we created the Grid from the start?
What do you think made them all shut up?
The video of Doctor Kwon
and the Ghost together.
The one who made us
use your father…
was you.
SONG EOJIN
What is it?
Raise the alert level
and be prepared for the Ghost.
Kim Manok has been arrested.
He's being transported now.
Have you grown fond of him or something,
having seen him as a child?
A serial killer has been caught.
What's that look on your face?
Do you want to hand in
your resignation here?
How much time do I have left?
I'll go get changed.
KWON SAEHA
The line is busy.
Please leave a message after the tone.
JUNG SAEBYEOK
The line
is busy. Please leave a message…
Where did they catch him?
Being transported? You mean, to the AB?
NFS OFFICER
Detective. I
Sorry,
I just got an important call.
I'll call you back.
Okay.
But if…
Thank you for everything.
Goodbye.
What's Kim Manok's purpose?
Did she just need someone
who could make a mess?
The Ghost can't exist without him.
"The Ghost can't exist without him."
Is she his descendant?
If Kim Manok's child or future child
gives birth to the Ghost or something…
Then that explains
why she's protecting that scumbag.
I don't know how they're related.
You don't know their relationship,
but you know the relationship
between the janitor and Kim Manok?
You're the one who gave the information
to the investigator, aren't you?
Why?
There's good news and bad news.
What's there to be good or bad?
Maybe it's not necessarily good news.
Do you remember I said
that the woman's DNA was a little off?
Yes. That it's disjointed.
But it appears to be normal this time.
How is that possible?
What's the bad news?
Well…
They are related by blood.
Between her and the culprit?
No, between you and her.
You two share the same mitochondrial DNA.
Well, I found identical DNA,
so I checked whose it was.
It wasn't in the criminal database
but in the affiliated agency database.
Among the police officers
who registered their DNA.
And that was me?
Yes, you two are maternally related.
You and the accomplice.
Detective?
Don't worry, Detective.
She could be a distant relative
If she's maternally related to me,
what about her paternal line?
I mean…
What about her father's side?
So in the past, was
Jung Saebyeok also related to the Grid?
The detective and the Grid?
You leaked the information
to your colleague's ex-wife for no reason?
You're the one who should be blamed
by Mr. Song, not me.
If you'd let us work freely,
I wouldn't have needed the police's help.
If you didn't make us stay in the office,
I would've done the legwork myself.
You're the one who made me use
someone's ex-wife.
And you criticized me for
using your father after what you've done?
By the way, I'm sure
this is just a coincidence.
But the convenience store murderer
and his accomplice
share the same blood type,
which is cis-AB.
What?
Only 3 or 4 out of 10,000 people
have that blood type, and they both do.
Are you saying…
both the culprit and I are
biologically related to the woman?
But as for the culprit and the woman,
only 13% of their DNA matches.
And that doesn't
necessarily mean the culprit and you are
connected through the woman.
What if they're related by blood?
I mean,
what if the culprit and she
are a descendant and ancestor
or something like that?
Then it makes sense.
We just can't know
how many generations apart.
But that's out of the question.
They live in the same age,
so one of them can't be the other's
descendant or grandmother or grandfather.
So you used the investigator,
and you're blaming me for that?
But you still violated security protocol.
-You won't just be given a reprimand.
-Okay.
You don't even care?
What's wrong?
What was the number for security?
Number seven.
Sir. We've been ordered to keep
Kim Manok at the lobby when he arrives.
It's Ms. Choi's order.
TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR CHOI SEONUL
IT'S DONE, MA'AM
Why did she show up in front of me?
If she's maternally related to me,
what about her paternal line?
What about her father's side?
Since 1997, the Ghost has been
hovering around Kim Manok,
obviously showing us
that she's protecting him.
He's on her father's side…
And I'm on her mother's side?
Are you out of your mind?
I won't let it slide.
Status?
All clear in the lobby.
Here he comes.
Hold on. Please stand by here.
-What are you talking about?
-You heard her clearly.
Excuse me.
Just a minute, please.
Let me register him.
-You should've done this beforehand.
-They are here.
Lee Siwon.
Lee Siwon.
I think you've mistaken me
for someone else.
How do you contact the woman?
Has she ever told you
why she protects you?
She helped you many times.
Do you need a beating to talk?
Is that what you want?
I've never even heard her voice.
She never says anything to me.
She's never apologized to you
for what she did to your father?
Lee Siwon.
Even after your father's business
went bankrupt and his wife left home,
he tried to protect you
when you weren't even his real child.
He even took you to a place
that he wasn't supposed to.
I don't have a father.
You've got the wrong person…
So let me go.
He burned to death in front of you.
In a place just like this.
By the front door.
Are you sure you've never seen me before?
If you had been raised by him,
you would've become a different person.
They must be here.
That's when your life got screwed up.
But you've completely forgotten it.
Don't you feel wronged?
He's right in front of you.
Tell her to come up immediately.
Mr. Jo wants you to come up.
You really don't remember him?
Take him.
Stay still!
Don't move.
Don't run!
You were…
there.
-Where?
-Take him.
Keep an eye on him.
Go to the security office
and keep me posted on his every move.
DR. KWON SUKEUN
The man in the footage from 1997 is me.
I took the device from the Ghost
and went to the past.
-How?
-The Administration Bureau captured her,
and I knew that two devices
were needed for time travel.
I don't know how it works though.
A chip inserted in the body
transforms neural signals
into motor signals.
That's what you said yourself
and that's all I know.
I did?
-I said that?
-Yes.
Where's the device?
I returned it to her.
-Are you out of your mind? Why?
-She let us capture her on purpose.
She knew all about the AB's plan
and showed up and played along.
Why?
I don't know either.
Since her capture was the only way to make
Doctor Kwon's son go to the past?
Did she know that too?
That the two of you had to kill
the janitor together for her to exist?
And? What else?
The Ghost came from the future.
And she can travel back in time.
Just as you all know.
And she came here to build the Grid.
Is that all?
How the device works,
what the energy source is,
and how you travel through time.
You should've figured that out.
You even took her device. Is that all?
I should've also asked
for the blueprint of the Grid, right?
It's been 20 years, but all we can do
is use what she built for us.
We haven't even been able
to decipher the first formula.
But I should've asked for it, right?
How dare you act up?
Don't you realize
what an enormous opportunity you missed?
You also have no idea
what opportunity I missed.
It doesn't matter though.
What is he talking about?
Has he lost his mind after time traveling?
What was the Administration Bureau's plan?
How did we capture the Ghost?
We can't use that trick anymore.
We announced that the Grid broke down.
The Ghost knew
that I was the one who suggested it.
Well, if she knows everything,
what do we do… Hey, go ahead.
We need to talk.
Do you think we should believe
what he says?
I don't know about that,
but I don't think he even bothers to lie.
God damn it.
If that's all true, there's no chance
that she'll show up now.
She knows what we haven't even done yet.
Do you think
she released Manok
because he's no longer of any use to her?
If that's not the case…
Then what?
Who's Lee Siwon?
This is the first time I've felt
we didn't have enough CCTVs here.
Do you think…
the Ghost will come to rescue him?
You've been working here
since the Institute of Radio Research.
Who killed that child's father?
You heard the answer earlier.
What I heard is that Saeha killed him.
But even Kim Manok was too young
to remember what happened.
That means Saeha was a baby then.
A baby killed a person?
You know something, don't you?
Yes, I've been working here
since the IRR days.
But I'm just a contract worker.
They give me work,
but they never say anything to me.
Even back then, no one said anything to me
about what happened that night.
I'm just…
one of these.
What's your name, sir?
Pardon?
I'm Chae Jongyi. What's your name?
I am
Han Wihan.
Sorry? Hani Hani?
It's Han Wihan
whether you read it forwards or backwards.
Han Wihan.
Oh, Mr. Han Wihan.

Put your gun down.
Just shoot me.
I'd rather die.
Put your gun down.
Will you shoot a cop?
Who's going to shoot?
I need to know that to report
who is accountable for shooting a cop.
Anyone?
Wouldn't it be better to talk this out?
What brings you here?
Kim Manok is here, right?
What if he is?
I'm going to kill him.
I'll just take her outside.
It's not your concern. Stay out of it.
If that jerk really deserves to die,
I won't stop you.
But can we talk for a minute before that?
-Back to your positions.
-Yes, sir.
It'll just be a minute.
I just need to ask him one question.
Let me meet that bastard.
How did you know that he was here?
Is it Kwon Saeha again?
How much do you know about him?
Stop. I don't want to hear it.
How much do you know about him?
Did Manok really meet Saeha
when he was little?
He did, didn't he?
And you knew it.
Is that why you're doing this?
No.
It's just about me.
So what is it?
Seriously, it won't take long.
The whole building is on high alert.
Why do you think they brought him here?
Don't give her a chance.
They say the Ghost won't show up
if she stands no chance,
but they're surrounding him
tightly on all sides.
So she can't even grab his hand
even if she pops out.
So she can't take him.
CHAE JONGYI
But if you must see him, I'll ask them.
But what you say will be recorded,
and what you do will be closely monitored.
Is that okay?
Forget it. I understand.
You came all the way here
to give up that easily?
What do you want me to do?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
-Give me the key. If you drive now…
-Don't come.
The building is on high alert.
Don't leave your post because of me.
-You, go there.
-Yes, sir.
You two, stand by outside.
You two, go out.
And the rest, take the elevator.
DUE TO AN EMERGENCY, ALL EMPLOYEES
MUST BE ON ALERT AND ON STANDBY
Let's move.
Freeze! Don't move!
I'll fire if you move.
Beta on the loose!
-Which way did he go?
-No idea. I can't see him.
He's heading to the emergency exit.

Oh, my.
A girl came over.
I see that your mother is safe.
How did you know my place?
I came here the other day.
When we watched the video of Doctor Kwon.
Do you know my father?
Mr. Kwon Saeha.
There's no one in this country
who doesn't know your father.
Doctor Kwon Sukeun
is the most important figure
in Korean history after Admiral Yi Sunsin
and Sejong the Great.
"A Korean scientist
did research on the Grid
until he collapsed from overwork.
He couldn't see it through to the end
but saved the world after his death."
That's why I was so shocked
when I saw the footage,
when I learned
that one of the greatest men in history
was actually an accomplice to murder.
This is Dr. Kwon Sukeun?
Besides, the person
who showed me that was his son.
What else did I say?
That you didn't understand
why your father did such a thing.
I knew that the Administration Bureau
was hiding something.
But I had no idea
it was something like this.
Because I never imagined back then
that it was me.
That I'd do such a thing.
Because of me…
It's a fire!
Is that when you saw
the world without the Grid?
By any chance, did you see the future too?
Like what happens to us in the future or…
what the world looks like
100 years from now?
No, I couldn't.
I don't know why, but I couldn't move
past the point in time where I came from.
Why is that?
Is it because it hasn't happened yet?
Because it doesn't exist yet?
What time point did you see?
What do you mean?
The other day.
What was it that I saw then?
You said you saw something.
Oh.
I don't know
whether I really saw something or just…
That's not the point.
Let's say the woman perishes if the man
who's to die in 1997 doesn't die.
But what about now?
The solar wind has been blocked,
and everything's been solved.
Why is this happening again?
-What do you mean, again?
-Kim Manok.
He killed another person.
Is it someone I know?
She knew I'd run to the subway station
as soon as I came to the past.
She released him
so I wouldn't be able to arrest him.
And that's why
the cleaning lady was killed.
Was there one more then?
Kim Manok is
the child in the footage.
The janitor's son.
Then ever since then…
Wait a second.
A woman from the future
keeps hovering around a specific person?
And if that goes wrong,
the woman perishes too?
That leads to only one conclusion.
The two are connected.
Related by blood.
Is it a birth from the murderer's family?
Oh, hello.
-I should've said hello to you earlier.
-Oh, no.
We shouldn't be treating
our guest like this.
Goodness. Why didn't you bring her inside?
No, don't mind me. I'm not a guest.
Oh, my. So you're not a guest?
I am a guest.
A guest leaving soon.
-Please, drink.
-Okay. Thank you.
Sure.
I wish we could just say
it's three minus one.
That we saved three people
at the cost of one person's life.
It's two minus one.
But I saw earlier that Eojin
and Ms. Choi were safe.
Your mother too.
That injection.
It was a vitamin shot.
How?
I mean…
What I mean is that it's a great relief.
But what's she trying to pull?
That means she got shot on purpose
and knew that the breakdown
of the Grid was a lie.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have
pretended to harm your mother.
For God's sake.
Is she playing with us or what?
She shouldn't have shown up
in the first place.
She shouldn't have shown up
at the AB in the first place.
You wondered before too
why she showed up before your eyes.
Do you know why now?
Now that you've seen the year 1997?
My father wasn't even considered
a victim at first.
"He happened to be on duty that night
and happened to run into the Ghost.
What…
rotten luck."
That was the conclusion.
The Administration Bureau was only
interested in the janitor in the footage.
Since that was obviously
not a coincidence.
But the AB guessed wrong as well.
It wasn't the janitor.
Since 1997, the Ghost has been
hovering around Kim Manok,
obviously showing us
that she's protecting him.
But is she really protecting him?
She killed his father before his eyes.
And she locked him up
as if he was a beast.
It turns out that she's able to teleport
with someone else.
Why wouldn't she flee with him?
Why do I care who she meets?
Did you park next door?
No, it should be all right.
It wasn't your neighbor.
How does it feel?
No one used to remember your father,
but he's a hero now.
And you're that hero's son.
Do you remember the first time
all your family gathered?
Did you meet your father?
Now I've seen him as an aged man.
He wasn't a hero,
but now I can at least recall his face.
So that's what you left behind.
Ooh!
Take the chicken bones out of the bag.
I told you, they're trash, not food waste.
What chicken?
What the hell? Did she smell it?
Kim Manok is
the child in the footage.
The janitor's son.
The two are connected.
EPISODE 9
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
Ms. Chae. I need you to send
an official document.
The recipient is Nature Orphanage.
MINISTRY OF TRADE, INDUSTRY AND ENERGY
I got this a minute ago
A cop was here, right? You just need
to tell me what you two talked about.
What did you talk about?
She said a man from this orphanage
was suspected of murder.
His name is Kim Manok.
I see.
I told her that I was aware of it
because some woman had come
to ask about him before.
Some woman?
Well, it was an unusual name.
Jongyi or something.
Oh. Go on.
I repeated what I said then.
That Manok was found on a market street
and brought to us,
and looked more like an abandoned child
than a missing child.
Because handicapped children
are more often abandoned.
What handicap?
When he first came here,
he couldn't speak at all.
He seemed to be five or six years old,
but he couldn't speak.
So I thought he was born speech-impaired.
Then how did you know
his name and birth record?
We named him Kim Manok
and re-registered his birth.
Then his record as Lee Siwon
must've been completely deleted.
She said Manok
used to have a family,
though he was adopted.
And his name was Lee Siwon then.
No outsiders entered the building.
It was Sunday,
so only few people entered at all.
I don't know how it happened…
His stepparents ran a business.
But as they went bankrupt,
his stepmother left home.
He said there was no one else
to look after the child.
He practically begged…
But his stepfather passed away.
That's what I just heard
from that police officer.
Manok never said a word
about his stepfamily.
But one day, he suddenly poured out words,
so I remember us saying this.
Maybe he's not handicapped.
Was he traumatized?
Or is he aphasic?"
Seeing that no one reported him missing,
I think his family abandoned him
after his stepfather passed away.
He was adopted when he was one.
Then I'm sure he thought
they were his real family.
How could they
Anything else?
What else did the officer say?
What else? Oh.
She asked me if any woman visited Manok
when he was here, and showed me a picture…
No, should I say it was a sketch?
Anyway, she showed it to me and…
Yes, this is it.
The woman named Jongyi
asked me the same question,
but no one visited him.
How did the officer find out
that Kim Manok and Lee Siwon
were the same person?
She didn't mention that.
She just said
she met Manok's stepmother
before she came here.
Are you suggesting her stepmother told her
Kim Manok's original name was Lee Siwon?
Well, that is…
Well.
I assume she had a way to find that out
since she's a police officer.
Right.
Lee Siwon.
Kim Manok.
She must've gone to see his stepmother
since she knew they were the same person.
Otherwise, she couldn't have linked
Lee Siwon to Kim Manok
no matter what she heard
from his stepmother.
Jung Saebyeok.
How come she knows more than we do?
You remember the
convenience store murderer's accomplice?
Of course, I do.
How can I forget someone
with disjointed DNA?
Oh?
-Is this from her?
-Yes.
Did you compare the criminal's DNA
to hers last time?
-No. There was no request for that.
-Mm.
Is she his family,
not just his accomplice?
Please find that out for me.
If they're related by blood.
Well, considering their ages,
they can't be a parent and child.
-Maybe they're a brother and sister
-No.
What if…
Just hypothetically.
As for direct ancestors
how many generations
can you trace back?
I'm not sure.
Well, in case of a maternal line, we can
trace back as many generations as we want.
But if a paternal line is included,
it becomes ambiguous
after three or four generations
as you probably know.
But one of them can't be
the other's direct ancestor.
Didn't you say they were
around the same age?
Please find out everything you can
about them using all your databases.
-Scour it for any clues?
-Yes.
Okay.
I'm sure you're busy,
but how long will it take?
If I have to run it
through the database, well…
-I'll try to finish by the end of the day.
-Thank you.
-I'll treat you to a nice meal later.
-What?
How about you do it now?
I could use some food.
I have somewhere else to be right now, so…
Thank you for doing this.
Bye.
I'll ask her to buy me dinner then.
Mr. Kwon called and asked for another
-day off
-Mr. Song Eojin.
Yes?
About that child…
Who?
Kim Manok.
-Child?
-Find out his original name.
Did he have a different name?
There's no record of a name change.
How old were you in 1997?
I was nine.
If you were five or six,
do you think you'd remember?
Remember what, ma'am?
If you help me understand your question,
I'll be able to give you a better answer.
Never mind.
She even knew which station
he was last seen at.
If she didn't hear it from her ex-husband…
Did something happen
to Kwon Saeha yesterday?
Did he go out for lunch?
You said he seemed to have had a fight.
No, he looked fine
when he came back from lunch.
But in one or two minutes, he suddenly…
Did he fight with you?
Why would I fight
with my colleague at work?
But then,
if you two had a fight
and Mr. Kwon looked like that,
you'd probably be hurt more…
What? You don't know
what you're talking about.
-I'm taller
-Enough.
How did he look?
Well, his clothes were a mess,
and his cheek was hurt,
so I thought he might have
A security alarm went off too.
I'm not sure what he was carrying though.
Ms. Chae. If you want to brownnose
that moron, do it alone.
Okay.
Hello? Security Office.

of the Secretariat's hallway.

You're the one who's suffered.
Because of me.
What about me?
You're my only child.
But I almost adopted you out

I must've been out of my mind. What?
What do you mean, this time too?
Never mind.
But my family name has always been Kwon.

Oh!
Do you not need the company anymore?
Because you have no more questions?
Are you here to persuade me
to go back to work?
How did you do it?
How did you go there?
It must be still vivid in your memory.
To me, it's been over 20 years.
But to someone, it was yesterday.
What memory are you talking about?
The memory of the IRR
putting all the blame on the deceased,
insisting that he died from overwork?
Or the memory of
the IRR people sending out a notice
telling the bereaved to pick up the
mysteriously dead person's body
from the mortuary?
How can you say that when we commemorate
your father's death every year?
Not all my questions have been answered.
I want to know why the labs
from other countries stayed silent.
When you asserted that Doctor Kwon Sukeun
from Korea created the Grid,
why did they keep silent?
Then who were we supposed to say
it was created by?
The Ghost?
What evidence could the AB provide
to support that claim?
Should we have just revealed
the video of the Ghost?
Is that why you used my father?
It was your father's code
that operated the machine.
We have a clear record of that.
-He was murdered because of that code.
-Keep it down.
Do you think
the rest of the world accepted
that we created the Grid from the start?
What do you think made them all shut up?
The video of Doctor Kwon
and the Ghost together.
The one who made us
use your father…
was you.
SONG EOJIN
What is it?
Raise the alert level
and be prepared for the Ghost.
Kim Manok has been arrested.
He's being transported now.
Have you grown fond of him or something,
having seen him as a child?
A serial killer has been caught.
What's that look on your face?
Do you want to hand in
your resignation here?
How much time do I have left?
I'll go get changed.
KWON SAEHA
The line is busy.
Please leave a message after the tone.
JUNG SAEBYEOK
The line
is busy. Please leave a message…
Where did they catch him?
Being transported? You mean, to the AB?
NFS OFFICER
Detective. I
Sorry,
I just got an important call.
I'll call you back.
Okay.
But if…
Thank you for everything.
Goodbye.
What's Kim Manok's purpose?
Did she just need someone
who could make a mess?
The Ghost can't exist without him.
"The Ghost can't exist without him."
Is she his descendant?
If Kim Manok's child or future child
gives birth to the Ghost or something…
Then that explains
why she's protecting that scumbag.
I don't know how they're related.
You don't know their relationship,
but you know the relationship
between the janitor and Kim Manok?
You're the one who gave the information
to the investigator, aren't you?
Why?
There's good news and bad news.
What's there to be good or bad?
Maybe it's not necessarily good news.
Do you remember I said
that the woman's DNA was a little off?
Yes. That it's disjointed.
But it appears to be normal this time.
How is that possible?
What's the bad news?
Well…
They are related by blood.
Between her and the culprit?
No, between you and her.
You two share the same mitochondrial DNA.
Well, I found identical DNA,
so I checked whose it was.
It wasn't in the criminal database
but in the affiliated agency database.
Among the police officers
who registered their DNA.
And that was me?
Yes, you two are maternally related.
You and the accomplice.
Detective?
Don't worry, Detective.
She could be a distant relative
If she's maternally related to me,
what about her paternal line?
I mean…
What about her father's side?
So in the past, was
Jung Saebyeok also related to the Grid?
The detective and the Grid?
You leaked the information
to your colleague's ex-wife for no reason?
You're the one who should be blamed
by Mr. Song, not me.
If you'd let us work freely,
I wouldn't have needed the police's help.
If you didn't make us stay in the office,
I would've done the legwork myself.
You're the one who made me use
someone's ex-wife.
And you criticized me for
using your father after what you've done?
By the way, I'm sure
this is just a coincidence.
But the convenience store murderer
and his accomplice
share the same blood type,
which is cis-AB.
What?
Only 3 or 4 out of 10,000 people
have that blood type, and they both do.
Are you saying…
both the culprit and I are
biologically related to the woman?
But as for the culprit and the woman,
only 13% of their DNA matches.
And that doesn't
necessarily mean the culprit and you are
connected through the woman.
What if they're related by blood?
I mean,
what if the culprit and she
are a descendant and ancestor
or something like that?
Then it makes sense.
We just can't know
how many generations apart.
But that's out of the question.
They live in the same age,
so one of them can't be the other's
descendant or grandmother or grandfather.
So you used the investigator,
and you're blaming me for that?
But you still violated security protocol.
-You won't just be given a reprimand.
-Okay.
You don't even care?
What's wrong?
What was the number for security?
Number seven.
Sir. We've been ordered to keep
Kim Manok at the lobby when he arrives.
It's Ms. Choi's order.
TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR CHOI SEONUL
IT'S DONE, MA'AM
Why did she show up in front of me?
If she's maternally related to me,
what about her paternal line?
What about her father's side?
Since 1997, the Ghost has been
hovering around Kim Manok,
obviously showing us
that she's protecting him.
He's on her father's side…
And I'm on her mother's side?
Are you out of your mind?
I won't let it slide.
Status?
All clear in the lobby.
Here he comes.
Hold on. Please stand by here.
-What are you talking about?
-You heard her clearly.
Excuse me.
Just a minute, please.
Let me register him.
-You should've done this beforehand.
-They are here.
Lee Siwon.
Lee Siwon.
I think you've mistaken me
for someone else.
How do you contact the woman?
Has she ever told you
why she protects you?
She helped you many times.
Do you need a beating to talk?
Is that what you want?
I've never even heard her voice.
She never says anything to me.
She's never apologized to you
for what she did to your father?
Lee Siwon.
Even after your father's business
went bankrupt and his wife left home,
he tried to protect you
when you weren't even his real child.
He even took you to a place
that he wasn't supposed to.
I don't have a father.
You've got the wrong person…
So let me go.
He burned to death in front of you.
In a place just like this.
By the front door.
Are you sure you've never seen me before?
If you had been raised by him,
you would've become a different person.
They must be here.
That's when your life got screwed up.
But you've completely forgotten it.
Don't you feel wronged?
He's right in front of you.
Tell her to come up immediately.
Mr. Jo wants you to come up.
You really don't remember him?
Take him.
Stay still!
Don't move.
Don't run!
You were…
there.
-Where?
-Take him.
Keep an eye on him.
Go to the security office
and keep me posted on his every move.
DR. KWON SUKEUN
The man in the footage from 1997 is me.
I took the device from the Ghost
and went to the past.
-How?
-The Administration Bureau captured her,
and I knew that two devices
were needed for time travel.
I don't know how it works though.
A chip inserted in the body
transforms neural signals
into motor signals.
That's what you said yourself
and that's all I know.
I did?
-I said that?
-Yes.
Where's the device?
I returned it to her.
-Are you out of your mind? Why?
-She let us capture her on purpose.
She knew all about the AB's plan
and showed up and played along.
Why?
I don't know either.
Since her capture was the only way to make
Doctor Kwon's son go to the past?
Did she know that too?
That the two of you had to kill
the janitor together for her to exist?
And? What else?
The Ghost came from the future.
And she can travel back in time.
Just as you all know.
And she came here to build the Grid.
Is that all?
How the device works,
what the energy source is,
and how you travel through time.
You should've figured that out.
You even took her device. Is that all?
I should've also asked
for the blueprint of the Grid, right?
It's been 20 years, but all we can do
is use what she built for us.
We haven't even been able
to decipher the first formula.
But I should've asked for it, right?
How dare you act up?
Don't you realize
what an enormous opportunity you missed?
You also have no idea
what opportunity I missed.
It doesn't matter though.
What is he talking about?
Has he lost his mind after time traveling?
What was the Administration Bureau's plan?
How did we capture the Ghost?
We can't use that trick anymore.
We announced that the Grid broke down.
The Ghost knew
that I was the one who suggested it.
Well, if she knows everything,
what do we do… Hey, go ahead.
We need to talk.
Do you think we should believe
what he says?
I don't know about that,
but I don't think he even bothers to lie.
God damn it.
If that's all true, there's no chance
that she'll show up now.
She knows what we haven't even done yet.
Do you think
she released Manok
because he's no longer of any use to her?
If that's not the case…
Then what?
Who's Lee Siwon?
This is the first time I've felt
we didn't have enough CCTVs here.
Do you think…
the Ghost will come to rescue him?
You've been working here
since the Institute of Radio Research.
Who killed that child's father?
You heard the answer earlier.
What I heard is that Saeha killed him.
But even Kim Manok was too young
to remember what happened.
That means Saeha was a baby then.
A baby killed a person?
You know something, don't you?
Yes, I've been working here
since the IRR days.
But I'm just a contract worker.
They give me work,
but they never say anything to me.
Even back then, no one said anything to me
about what happened that night.
I'm just…
one of these.
What's your name, sir?
Pardon?
I'm Chae Jongyi. What's your name?
I am
Han Wihan.
Sorry? Hani Hani?
It's Han Wihan
whether you read it forwards or backwards.

Will you shoot a cop?
Who's going to shoot?
I need to know that to report
who is accountable for shooting a cop.
Anyone?
Wouldn't it be better to talk this out?
What brings you here?
Kim Manok is here, right?
What if he is?
I'm going to kill him.
I'll just take her outside.
It's not your concern. Stay out of it.
If that jerk really deserves to die,
I won't stop you.
But can we talk for a minute before that?
-Back to your positions.
-Yes, sir.
It'll just be a minute.
I just need to ask him one question.
Let me meet that bastard.
How did you know that he was here?
Is it Kwon Saeha again?
How much do you know about him?
Stop. I don't want to hear it.
How much do you know about him?
Did Manok really meet Saeha
when he was little?
He did, didn't he?
And you knew it.
Is that why you're doing this?
No.
It's just about me.
So what is it?
Seriously, it won't take long.
The whole building is on high alert.
Why do you think they brought him here?
Don't give her a chance.
They say the Ghost won't show up
if she stands no chance,
but they're surrounding him
tightly on all sides.
So she can't even grab his hand
even if she pops out.
So she can't take him.
CHAE JONGYI
But if you must see him, I'll ask them.
But what you say will be recorded,
and what you do will be closely monitored.
Is that okay?
Forget it. I understand.
You came all the way here
to give up that easily?
What do you want me to do?
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
-Give me the key. If you drive now…
-Don't come.
The building is on high alert.
Don't leave your post because of me.
-You, go there.
-Yes, sir.
You two, stand by outside.
You two, go out.
And the rest, take the elevator.
DUE TO AN EMERGENCY, ALL EMPLOYEES
MUST BE ON ALERT AND ON STANDBY
Let's move.
Freeze! Don't move!
I'll fire if you move.
Beta on the loose!
-Which way did he go?
-No idea. I can't see him.
He's heading to the emergency exit.
