Who's there?
This is the Seocho Police.
Is this Hyun-woo Choi?
Yes.
May we come up?
One minute.
Yes, come up.
Sorry.
Morning, Mr. Hyun-woo Choi?
We have a missing person...
Can we come in?
I dated her 5 years and this is how it ends.
She's probably out...
Hey, hey!! Enough!!
This is bigger than I thought.
Got any tools?
- Tools? - Yeah.
We're going! We're going!
Everywhere reminds me of her. Everywhere.
Amazing? All couples. All this people in pairs!
How do they all manage to find right one?
Should have done more things when we were together.
I really want to get out of this city.
Why am I dumped?
I'm a decent guy...
Let it be.
Who knows how your life is going to change.
Hello?
Hello...
Hello?
What? What did you say?
Take photos of a cat at a zoo?!
Look I'm meeting someone. Let's talk later.
Knuckle head.
You should try to find some inner peace.
Inner what?
Now where would I buy inner peace.
I bet money would make a woman stay...
Love might be for sale, but money is not the currency.
You are seeing someone?
Let's call it a night.
You need to go to the zoo, and search for the elephant.
Remember? When we were kids, we went to the Chang-Kyung Zoo.
Man, you remember the strangest things...
Where would you like to fix today?
I suggest tightening the chin line...
How much?
Let me finish inside.
Wednesday?
Yeah...
Where did you park today? unidentified caller
Ms. Mi-young Kim for surgery on Wednesday.
It's Mi-young 'KANG'.
Well, Wednesday then.
We are in dire need of Siberian tiger offsprings.
Last year, the female died all of a sudden.
Even back then we used Viagra
to tiger porns...
but he just wouldn't mate.
So we are bringing him a new bride from China.
But first, we need a real size photo of our male
to show it to the bride candidates. So we would know
which female feels attracted to our male.
Isn't it good?
Think of it as taking an engagement picture.
Later on, we can also use your photos as PR materials.
Sir, I don't have to go in there to take these photos?
- Don't be scared. - No... it's not that...
These days, he gets fed so much,
he veggies out all day.
He is not hungry at all.
Maybe that's why he has no desire for sex.
Anyway, thank you
for helping us preserve
the heritage of our tiger, the national symbol.
- Ye... yes. Sir? - Yes?
Where would elephants be?
Elephants?
Lecher!
Not a day went by, when I didn't think about you.
It's been 12 weeks since we've met again...
and my past 12 years
feels so faint to me...
doesn't seem real.
I'm sure as much as you've lost in those years,
You've gained a lot as well.
This place being one of them.
And it seems, I too have turned out okay.
Can't tell you how glad I am to see you all successful.
Don't you have any security cameras in your building?
Fuck no, I always thought it was too expensive.
I have no clue who did this.
The motherfucker even knows my cell number.
Wait, Hyun-woo, hold on a sec.
The midterm scores are out.
Again you came in dead last in the class!
Bend over!
Go sit in the corner and assume the position!
Hey, something's come up. Gotta go.
What? A Chinese tiger bride to preserve the national symbol?
Who knows what that crazy man was talking about.
But he is better than me.
At least, the tiger gets to fornicate with taxpayer's money.
It's okay. It's been taken care of.
Gee... you didn't have to...
It was delicious as always.
Same here.
I should go and start closing up.
Right, the boss should go and do her job.
Hey, the night is still young. How about another round?
Must get lonely?
I would feel lost
all alone here.
Just find it again. Whatever it is just find it again.
Isn't there only one way to find what's been lost?
Stop looking,
and just wait.
What were you up to in those 12 years when you went missing?
I waited.
- I waited. - What?
Love.
Ever felt that spiritual force through the eyes of the beloved?
If you stop looking, it will come back to you.
The package was here with this card.
I thought it was a gift. I didn't think much of it.
Dr. Yoon, I'm so sorry.
No, no... It's okay. It's been a rough day.
Please help these gentlemen, and go home early today.
Maybe it's a petty thief.
We also lost a nurse's uniform.
Who knows? Maybe some sore about
past surgery results...
If you made my tits lop-sided,
I would send you a snake.
What about you?
You moan like a bitch over a girl like a cheesy teenager.
Gee... I guess I should be more like you.
Screwing everything that moves. That must be the man's life.
It's alright. Don't worry. It's his hobby.
In my opinion, you don't know what women want...
In my opinion, I think you have a very small penis.
That's why you fuck around
to make up for the depravity.
Hey, hey!
Hyun-woo did you find the elephant?
Elephant? What elephant?
It's been such a long time.
Luxury escort.
The masterpiece of my life. Come here!
- Slow down. - Not wearing any?
I wonder where the elephant grave is...
It's like a country papered with hostess bars.
I wonder where all those women end up...
Fuck... what the hell am I talking about?
Deep in the forest, who will come to drink the small fountain?
At dawn, a rabbit awakes rubbing its eyes,
it has come to wash its face...
Enough.
Enough!!!
Unable to get over a girl...
Hyun-woo Choi attempted to commit suicide.
He cannot even succeed in taking his own life,
I am sure with more effort, he will get better results.
What do you think?
In the case of Mr. Choi, suicide attempts have
failed despite his endeavors.
It is imperative that he try such diverse methods as electrocution,
gas asphyxiation, overdose...
Hush, hush.
Just read the teleprompter like you're suppose to...
Hyun-woo Choi, throw it. I dare you.
As you can see, that Mr. Choi's will power
- I, too feel disappointed. - is truly disappointing.
Next is sports,
To support the national team,
20,000 soccer fans have gathered
for the match with Japan.
Don't you ever get sick of soccer?
High class escorts...
Korea is becoming the 'sex heaven' for tourists.
High class escorts...
monthly pay of...
25 million won.
Robots with the exact same plastic surgery.
The plastic surgery industry, is struggling with the recession...
Your golden days are over...
You call yourselves doctors?
This city has more plastic surgery hospitals than Starbucks?
The Korean financial market looks gloomy.
Korean-American bankers.
Because you can't make it in the states...
you geeks come here
and hook up with gold-digging women.
You act as if you know the price of everything,
yet you people know the value of nothing.
Hyun-woo Choi!
Hyun-woo
Among these people... You are the lowest.
You call that shit photos of yours art?
You call that shit photos of yours art? They're garbage.
You even suck at imitating other famous works.
Hey, if without family money, You'd be starving.
Always blaming others, look at yourself
all high with marijuana
- Hyun-woo Choi! - You loser!
You loser...
What are you doing?
I can't do anything all day.
Bitch.
Fucking bitch.
Enough is enough, I said to myself.
But a few days ago, I met him again.
We've met before, haven't we?
What was your name back then?
Everyone knows that,
asshole is pure trash.
Don't worry about it.
I'll catch you later. I'm gonna go work out.
It's hot here!
No... don't take it off.
Tighter...
Doctor, how is your blood pressure?
It's much better now.
All this time, not one phone call.
I hate you.
Didn't you miss me?
Of course I missed you. That's why I'm here.
You always do whatever you want.
You changed careers and I've been busy too.
Your phone's ringing! Don't you have yoga class?
Are you feeling better?
Minsuk, the fucking genius,
picked a tee time at this hour.
What's wrong with you?
It's freezing. Close the door!
Hey! Hey!
Man, now I am really angry.
You the medicine man?
What would I do without you? I love you man.
You know marijuana...
Remember when we were kids, we went to the Chang-Kyung Zoo?
Yeah.
Actually I don't. We did?
Never mind. Forget it.
What's the deal with Jin-hyuck?
Our friend Jin-hyuck Sah.
I heard that he's in trouble for illegal speculations.
He could be under investigations.
Really?
The legendary self made man.
Quite dramatic indeed.
He returns after 12 years to fucking Korea for money.
Did he ever find his father?
Don't know...
You know how tight-lipped he is.
I pried a couple of times but he didn't say much.
He probably has more scars than we know.
Maybe that's why he sometimes seems very unnatural.
He's got one hell of a golf swing though.
What's the matter with you?
Me? What?
Your back swing is totally wild.
You don't even aim do you?
You are dangerous.
Not counting your mulligans, How many OB's?
More than 20? Right?
Take a look.
I know. I'm not in my best shape.
You're an addict.
I don't drink that much these days.
Sex, you moron. You're addicted to fucking.
I agree. What should I do?
I think you need some professional help.
What help?
I think his swing needs some professional help,
His tee shots are dangerous.
How was your putting lesson with Jin-hyuck?
All about mind control.
'Picture the line in your head and push the ball with faith.'
I'm sorry! Let me help you.
It's fine, I got it.
Now what?
You are one sick bastard in need of serious help.
You love her?
Yeah, of course.
But... something always feels missing.
Does your wife know?
How would I know?
Maybe she knows maybe she doesn't.
I've had enough.
Even if you live together,
you can never really know another person.
Is everything okay with you?
You seemed pretty uptight on the phone earlier...
Well you are the smart one, I'm sure you'll be fine.
What do I know? Just concerned about you.
Let's leave together.
It's our baby.
I'm like a horny teenager.
I can't seem to get enough.
Not that I don't get off with my wife,
but something's always missing. No partner ever satisfies me.
I think I'll wait outside.
No, stay.
My friend can stay, right?
Whatever is comfortable...
We know everything about each other.
We're even in-laws.
I feel uncomfortable. I'll be outside.
Fucking bitch!
Hello?
Are you my 2 O'clock?
I'm, I'm not... not a patient.
Psychiatry Dr. Min-jung JANG
Why the stuttering?
I hope you weren't trying to kill yourself?
Talk to me for awhile.
Actually... it's...
I'm here with a friend...
He didn't want to come alone.
What's the problem?
I... I feel... no...nostalgic...
I have manic-depression...
You know your symptoms.
No...no... actually...
You know what's good about manic-depression?
When depressed, just wait. You'll be manic again.
Manic-depression can be treated psychologically.
Nah! It's not a psychological.
It's a biochemical problem.
Addiction is
the craving of the cells to satisfy its urges.
And if that's not met, the cells function abnormally.
The scary thing is the symptoms will get worse
and eventually go out of control.
So it's a long-term battle?
Like in any disease, your will is the key.
You need to recognize your problem
and be honest with yourself.
The phone was ringing but it wasn't her.
It was no one.
It was just my mind hearing things.
Can I borrow your cell phone?
What?
I don't think she'll pick up, if she sees my number.
I'm sorry.
Sorry. Actually I don't have a phone on me right now.
I see...
There are times when I think I would be much better off,
if she were dead.
I'm not normal, am I?
If she was dead, I wouldn't miss her
and I wouldn't hope for her to come back to me...
It'd be much easier to accept.
I want her dead.
Maybe I'm a little selfish?
It's more self-love than selfish.
You're protecting yourself.
Sense of loss is not easy for anyone.
I don't want to be a prisoner of my past.
But I desperately grasp for my memories.
One can remember the past, but one can never change it.
And one can 'change' the future,
but one can never 'remember' it.
That's why people feel trapped by their present reality.
But memory is a good thing.
You can return to a time in your past
and rediscover the moment and relive it.
You should try to find such a moment.
Somewhere in your memory...
I...
No worries.
What a patient tells me is strictly confidential.
How can I pay the fee for today's...
No need.
Well thank you, Dr. Jang.
I hope I was helpful.
Take the prescribed meds. And I'll see your test results.
Bro. Are they ready?
The results should be out.
Don't worry too much. Same time next week.
- Thanks, bro. - Sure.
Then the same time next week for us?
Yeah...
What if I've caught something?
What?
Like AIDS or...
So you are getting 'STD' test results.
Lower your fucking voice...
You use condoms, don't you?
Not really...
What?!
You busy?
I gotta go fix my camera.
You said that could wait?
Should I stay?
Forget it.
You are such a fucking pussy.
Go...
Hey!
Why the hell
did you ask for her cell phone...
Hey!
What's up? You alright?
I'm...
Why? What?
What is it?!
You fucker! I was actually worried!
Hyun-woo!
Fucker.
Hey!
- I'm standing in the middle of... - Get lost!
In the case of Mr. Choi,
suicide attempts have failed...
Fucking Parrot, die!
Fucking bitch!
Today?
I don't think I can...
What? You're here?
Just stopping by. Where are you going?
Going to Daegu.
Let's go together, for a drive.
Don't you have any work?
Wait a minute...
What are you...
I photograph to remember.
Manic day today?
Your nose?
Did it again in Japan.
You work in Japan?
I live there. Flying back tonight.
So, you've been in Japan all along.
He does it better than you. Don't call me!
Inspiration?
To find the girl from your dream, we're going to Daegu?
The high school girl in Daegu.
After all these years, she might be waiting for me.
What's her name?
No idea.
She probably graduated college by now.
She might not even be in Daegu. That's why I said I'd go alone.
It's okay...
Maybe I'm just going lunatic...
Who knows how your life is going to change.
Anyway life is
a gamble with infinite possibilities.
One time, I was so sick of work that I just drove south.
The scenery was amazing.
No matter how cynical I get in the city life,
nature is unchangingly beautiful.
Just listen.
How can I make more money and retire early?
Why don't I have a woman like that?
These self-torturing questions
trapped me in 'hell'.
While an hour-drive away from the city was
pure nature, maybe 'heaven' itself.
I realized then, that it was all a matter of perspective.
A different perspective can change your choices in life.
And eventually bring about
a change in your life itself.
So anywhere you go, I'm happy to come along.
I appreciate it. For not treating me like a lunatic.
Did you get divorced?
No.
Then I'm curious
why you're here to see me.
I'm sorry. My late apology.
I have class now. My girlfriend is waiting.
What?
She and I are a real fit.
And we even have conversations.
No, no... I mean...
back then I was a jerk...
I accept your apology.
Did you come here for that?
Let's go.
I found her!
- It's her, isn't it? - Yeah.
- Bye doctor - Bye bye.
I'm pregnant.
Don't worry. It's not yours.
I know. I'm sterile.
Really?
Look, I'm trying to talk honestly with my college friend.
Let's see each other at a better time.
You know my cell number.
Now why the hell would I know your cell number?
Like you said, you and me, we were an accident.
A hit-and-run traffic accident.
And the hit-and-run driver was my college friend!
Accident?
She died during the Subway Arson Incident.
She was a senior then.
You're not taking it?
Shouldn't have come...
It's okay.
No, I shouldn't have come...
If I didn't come like a lunatic, she'd still be alive.
In my imagination... in my head...
in my photo...
You had no choice but to come. You were desperately searching...
Hyun-woo,
nothing can be as beautiful as your imagination.
So try to go easy on yourself. Okay?
What are you doing?
Lighter...
Now?
Let's get groovy!
Fine, I'll just party by myself.
Hey. I'm the one who found it.
What are you doing?
Hey!
An elephant. Elephant is flying in the sky!
Your exaggerations always amaze me.
Hey! You're high and seeing stuff.
No...
I sometimes see stuff
even when I'm not high.
Take it. Later think sorry
You have to get out of the country... soon.
The fucking prosecutor's office the whole 9 yards.
What if it rains, We get what?
It all passed.
Hey, Jin.
What if it rains, you run for cover.
You don't fuck a round.
What?
No... I had something to take care of...
Bullshit. You're here to see that woman shrink, right?
No...
You realize that you suffer from affection-deficiency.
Shit, you're wearing cologne. Let's get some coffee.
So you've covered all your victims?
Do you count the bottles when you drink beer?
They're all mine fields and hornet's nests...
I just visited the suspicious ones...
You still don't know the culprit?
Culprit? I don't even have any suspects yet.
By the way, have you seen Jin-hyuck recently?
Yeah, yesterday. Why?
What'd you guys do?
We just went somewhere...
Why?
Nah... nothing. I've got to go.
If I didn't tamper with my memory and imagination,
she would still be alive.
My curiosity killed
the girl in my dream.
Are you angry?
No. It's not like that...
Dr. Jang, I am not blaming you.
Finding a moment in your memory doesn't mean
that your past becomes part of your reality.
There is the scary variable called time.
Yes.
Try not to get hurt too much.
Refuse 'hurt' if it comes to you.
Because I can't cope with my reality, I escape to
my imagination and my memory I am a real schizophrenic.
I told you psychosis patients all have a common characteristic.
Yes, a lunatic doesn't think he is crazy.
Right. So have no worries.
I smoke a lot of weed...
You said whatever a patient says is confidential, right?
I sometimes smoke a lot of weed...
Is that why I'm like?
If marijuana was that powerful,
then everyone would want some.
In your case, it's more psychological...
You are not exactly in the most stable state of mind.
Give yourself some time to recover.
I think my life is totally messed up.
You're just human.
Imperfect, delicate and complicated.
Just like any other human being.
I guess, I'm just lonely...
Obstetrics
Did something happen?
Where were you?
What?
I was at yoga... What about the hospital?
Yoga... I have the day off.
Yoga...
Soo-yeon.
Let's try to get along from now on.
You watching a porn or something?
What's this?
You think she swallowed?
She swallowed it.
You knew, didn't you?
Why?
What would my life be
without you and Jin-hyuck?
Thanks... I am really touched.
- I didn't take those pictures. - I know.
It's a continuation of anonymous threats.
I can't live like this! This isn't a way to live.
I never imagined my life would be this fucked up.
I'm sure you are not alone.
Divorce?
I thought about it, but no.
Although I might screw others, I want to wake up with Soo-yeon.
Life without her is no life at all.
I don't want to be abandoned.
It looks like you've already been abandoned.
Fuck, I don't know...
My life is made of threats,
shrink bills and addiction.
I fuck because I'm nervous, yet when I do fuck,
I'm plagued with guilt.
Maybe there's hope.
I have to quit.
Yeah...
But Jin-hyuck, that fucker...
What am I gonna do with him?
Is your old hobby kicking back?
We never lived together. So what's there to break up?
Don't be this way. I'm just being honest with you.
Then declare honestly!
I am sick of screwing you!
Take it, rode it well for a year.
No... you can keep the car.
Could you give me a ride home?
Move over.
Move.
It hurts.
Don't go, please? Don't go.
If you really have to go, then go and tell her.
Tell her you want a divorce.
If you're not gonna say that, you can't leave here.
Just move!
No! You don't have to break up with your wife!
Just don't break up with me!
Please! Stay!
You missed your meeting.
The 'Empire of Lights' audition.
I was worried so I waited by your place.
No!
Is it because of him, isn't it?
Mari!
The city was flooded and everyone had evacuated...
Only Mari was left alone in her house...
I was trying to rescue her.
I have a question.
When you woke up, how did you feel?
Very sad...
I am sure you were very disturbed...
No. When I woke up,
I couldn't remember Mari's face.
I called out her name, yet I couldn't remember her face.
I couldn't believe it. I had forgotten her face.
You seem busy.
Your phone has been ringing consistently.
Is everything okay?
No. Things are a little complicated in my life these days.
Do you like elephants?
When I was a kid,
my mom took me and my friends to the Chang-Kyung Zoo.
It was sunny and
there were lots of people.
So mom said,
if we got separated,
we were to meet by the grand elephant.
Well as we wandered about, eating our cotton candy,
it came to be that it was just me and my 2 friends.
We were lost in the crowd of people.
So we went searching for the elephant.
But when we finally got to the elephant corral...
The corral was huge!
And there were so many people we could barely see the elephant.
On top of that, the elephant would not stay still.
The beast kept wondering around.
So we followed the elephant,
pushing through the crowd...
I thought all we had to do was find the elephant...
We were lost in a flood of people,
the elephant kept sauntering around,
my mom could not be seen anywhere...
It was really scary.
That was the first time in my life
when I was really scared.
Is that how you feel now?
Scared?
Yes.
The 2 friends who went searching for the elephant with me...
I really like them both. But now I feel like
I am searching for them.
Hyun-woo, have no fear.
Unhealthy person has to be humble.
Unhealthy person might be humble,
but he doesn't have to cower.
Hyun-woo, you have so much
more than you think.
And you are a meaningful individual to someone out there.
Do you live here... here at the hospital?
Yes. Not only I live here,
but I'm pretty much locked up here.
You should take a break once in a while...
Your work is important,
but you should take time off once in a while.
What I mean is...
Didn't you come with your friend today?
No... I came by myself.
Thank you for the elephant story.
Sure...
I don't think I've ever seen a real elephant.
Really?
Let's grab a drink sometime. And we'll go see some elephants.
What?
Put your hands underneath your behind...
and take a deep breath...
We are done today.
I'm so sorry.
No.
It's not anyone's fault when emotions are involved...
I've noticed that you have a beautifully thin wrist.
I think this belongs to you. Please take it.
It'll put my mind at peace.
Stop by at 5, I'll be home.
A patient left a message asking you
- to pick up your car. - Car? What car?
She said that you would know what she meant.
The car.
Yes, of course, thank you.
Stop by at 5, I'll be home.
Hyun-woo!
- Actually I wanted to... - I kept calling...
- Go ahead. - No, you first.
So what's up?
I... I've been thinking about a career change.
So I will probably move to...
This is where you've been hiding? You're here too!
Hyun-woo had something to tell me...
No, no... It's nothing...
What were you saying?
Did you see Mr. Jhung? I think he's over there.
One second.
What is going on?
- A mustache... - You took a cab here right?
You told me not to bring my car...
Did you get a new car?
Could you use that car for awhile?
That car?
I'll explain everything later. Just take it.
I never imagined my life would get this fucked up.
What a pleasant surprise!
Didn't know you were stopping by.
Jin-hyuck.
I love him. We're going to leave together.
We're going to reclaim the time we've lost.
Reclaim the time you've lost?
Is that from some TV mini series?
Reclaim the time you've lost...
Even in this situation, you are as clichÈ as ever.
What about Minsuk?
Your beloved wealthy doctor husband?
Don't you see how we live?!
Isn't this what you wanted?
Enough money, social status, a smart man with humor?
When you were getting married, you never mentioned Jin-hyuck.
Because Jin-hyuck had no money back then?
Back then there was no Jin-hyuck!
Jin-hyuck wasn't even in the country!
And even without Jin-hyuck, this marriage was over.
I no longer know the person I live with.
It's been like that for ages.
He can fix his patients but never fix himself.
By exploiting people's vanity he became vanity itself.
It seems like he has no soul.
He disgusts me.
So he made some money in a world where vanity is the norm!
Then what about you?
If Minsuk's family money and social status
got you to marry,
then why do you think he married you?
You really don't know...
You are the true vanity of Minsuk.
Your innate talent for social climbing
and gold-digging...
You...
You are the ultimate vanity of Minsuk!
Minsuk's family still has more money.
A whole lot more than Jin-hyuck.
Choose wisely.
What are you trying to tell me?
Hey.
He may seem like trash to you,
but he's still my friend.
He's far from perfect!
But he is trying and struggling to get better!
Then what about me?
Where were you?
when he was drunk and mingled with all sorts of women?
You know what I found in our study today?
Crumpled tissue hardened with his sperm.
Me? I'm not even worth that tissue in a glass!
What did you do?
When our unstable marriage was falling apart?!
When I was desperately trying to hold it together?
Where were you? So, he is your friend?
I'm your sister! Your blood sister!
Sometimes when I see you with him,
I can't believe that we are blood related.
I... I'm sorry.
I... have nothing to say.
Still, if you are going to leave Minsuk, tell him yourself.
Don't just walk away.
Isn't that the least a person can do?
Is this why you are still in the country?
What's the problem?
I'm the problem.
Do what you can for now...
Where are you headed, big shot?
Later...
You fucking running away?
I'm all fucked up!
Out of all the women, you had to choose her?
Soo-yeon, she's coming with me. She's my woman.
I saw Minsuk at a church...
Since he lost faith in a friend,
I guess he had to put his faith in God!
Hyun-woo!
Can't you see? What the fuck are we doing?
It's not easy.
But Soo-yeon is the end of my journey.
Don't you understand!
You lost your fucking mind...
What can a person trust, If not another person?
The government?
The prosecutors?
Money?
All we have is each other to trust.
When you can't trust anybody, you end up doubting yourself.
I can't live like that anymore.
I refuse to live like that.
I envy you.
You really found the right one.
Let's grab a drink sometime, and we'll go see some elephants.
You are a meaningful individual to someone out there.
Come and rescue me!
I hear you.
Where is ward 32?
That way...
Would you like some water?
Come with me!
Whether we drink water or wine,
let's get out for some fresh air!
You shouldn't be here at this hour...
Let's talk outside of the hospital. Like normal people.
Can I take your picture?
Dressed like this?
Well... I mean... you look fine to me.
Shall I take it off?
No... There's no need for that.
I'll just take it.
I think we're being followed.
What? By who?!
Let's go faster.
Okay. But where to?
I would like to take a shower first.
A shower... a shower is nice.
Aren't you going to shower?
Shower...
You weren't sleeping?
Sleeping?
I have to return before it gets too late.
The Han...River?
I have a secret.
I don't want to lie to you.
Anything said between a doctor and a patient is
totally confidential.
I want to tell you about myself.
Please do.
I want to know everything, everything about you.
The truth is I'm not from here.
I am a special agent of the Korean interim government
in the year 2088 A.D.
During the Sino-US War which began in 2079,
lethal virus called KSD was spread in Korea.
The KSD paralyzes...
male reproductive capabilities
The scarier fact is that KSD has no known cure.
Listen carefully!
We don't have much time.
The problem is that this virus is
only limited to the Korean race.
That's why the name KSD, the Korean Sterile Disease.
To prevent this natural genocide,
our interim government sacrificed
numerous agents to discover
the 79 year-cycle time-slip spot
and that's how I was sent to 2009.
My mission is simple.
To bring back superior DNA male sperm inside my body.
Tonight, I accomplished my mission
and now I must go back.
Are we there yet?
From 2050's, energy crisis and global warming dried up
the Aral and the Dead Sea.
Polluted subterranean water led to a global shortage of
drinking water. The scarcity of resources
led to the Sino-US War in the Korean Peninsula.
Domestically, rapid decline in birth rate destroyed
the nation's productivity and brought on many socio-economic changes.
With no demand for Korean education,
most Korean elites moved to English or
Chinese speaking countries.
The gap between the rich and the poor becomes more extreme
than you can imagine.
So the hopeless mass becomes obsessed with soccer.
By the way, Korea wins the World Cup in 2042.
Look! Do you see that?! It's full moon tonight!
In a few moments, when the temperature goes below 21.2∞C,
I will position myself at the time-slip spot by the river.
Hyun-woo,
thank you.
And I love you.
You thought you weren't an important person.
But that's not true at all.
The future of our people depends on you.
You are our national symbol and you are Abraham.
That's why I'm in 2009. Using the time-slip spot
that can only be used once in 79 years.
We could have changed a lot of our history,
but we decided to come for your sperm.
To save our people from extinction,
You and I are here
But... why me?
Why not?
I don't think
I'm a dominant specimen.
I... I have hereditary baldness,
learning disorder, flatfeet,
I have tons of handicaps. So why me?
You are precious.
The purpose and reason of your existence
is our hope.
Hyun-woo, there are no such thing as a coincidence,
And you and I are no accident.
You don't... believe me?
No. I believe you.
I really do.
But we just met... how can we...
I'm sorry.
Everything I've said tonight is true.
Don't go! Please don't go!!!
Dr. Jang! Dr. Jang!!
Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang!!
No wait! Dr. Jang.
Please, Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang!!
Please, Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang! I want to talk to you!
Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang...
He is coming with Soo-yeon to see me.
I'm going to kill him.
Kill him, spare him...I don't care.
You know the difference between a whore and a wife?
Whores don't mix bodily fluids. Since it's a transaction.
So I always thought a wife was better than a whore.
But from some point on,
my wife stopped exchanging fluids with me.
Then I finally realized...
In essence, she as a bought deal too.
Did you swallow it?
Did You!
Of course. Because, we weren't a transaction!
What the fuck did you say?
Soo-yeon Choi!!
Say it again!
Motherfucker!
Did you enjoy screwing my wife?
Is it okay... if I kill you?
Yeah.
But that wouldn't change a thing.
Let him be.
It's his routine when he's drunk.
Then the next day he forgets everything.
What?
You always have to get everything?
At whatever the fucking cost?
I'm sorry...
You made your point, calm down.
Like you have a say in this?
You did nothing while your 2 friends screwed your sister.
Why? Why her?
- Who are... - She's dead!
Why her?
Why her!
Treat her like trash!
Die!
Pneumothorax.
His lung is punctured.
It's filling up with blood.
He can't live.
Can't live.
Fuck...
Hey, you know where we can get rid of this.
Fuck, why don't you think with me?!!
I guess he's not hungry...
What the fuck!
He's just sniffing and not even taking a bite.
I guess he's not hungry...
What are we going to do? We can't bring it back up.
Fuck, why don't you think with me?
Fuck...
Okay... We're gonna be okay.
Help me.
Listen! He died of a brain concussion.
Then what about Jin-hyuck?
Jin-hyuck?
Let's take care of this first.
Come on! Push!!
Get a hold of yourself!
- What are you doing? - I... I can't do this.
What's the matter with you?
It's just some concussion and bruises!
Fuck!!
It was an accident!!
No... I can't... no way...
Help me out here man, I beg you!
If there's no body then there is no crime!
You think I'm crazy? I'm not crazy!
It's just a fucking nightmare! It'll be over soon!
I don't know...
It's just a fucking dream!
I'm not fucking crazy!
- If you're not crazy, then help! - I'm not fucking crazy!
I...I can't...
Don't worry too much.
If there's no body then there's no crime.
I'm sorry.
We have a missing person and some questions...
Can we come in?
You know who we're looking for?
Where is Peng Bo-hyun?
Peng... who?
Do you still deny knowing her?
She's on trial for fraud and
in confinement for schizophrenia.
Luckily, her doctor recognized this man.
Where is she?
Peng Bo-hyun is a criminal.
JANG Min-jung... It's Dr. Jang...
Dr. Jang?
The doctor's gown!
Who the hell is Dr. Jang?
You see, when she first came to our hospital...
She was out of control...then she was given a doctor's gown
which made her comfortable
When she felt 'equal' with her doctor...
she became more stable...
Dr. Jang Min-jung is probably some resident...
Okay... I understand.
So Mr. Choi, thought she was a doctor?
Damn... she caused problems
at her previous hospital pretending to be a doctor...
She received so much treatment
and knows enough psychology that she could...
- fool you as a real doctor... - That's enough.
Where is she now?
She's in the future...
Where?
She asked me to give her a ride to the airport...
It's a night flight so we can leave after dinner...
Soo-yeon...
Let's start over.
As a family...
It's not healthy for the baby.
How long have you known?
Don't even think about abortion.
We even planned of adopting a child...
It's our baby.
Soo-yeon...
I love you.
The evenings can get pretty chilly over there,
I'll pack some windbreakers for us.
It's our baby...
Our baby.
Didn't have to bring it today...
Want to come in?
No...
How's Soo-yeon?
She's packing.
We're going to Hawaii for a week to get some fresh air.
You guys are unbelievable...
Both of you... are really something...
A second honeymoon?
It's really hard...
for me to believe that she and I are blood-related.
Wait...
Let me take you home!
The unimaginable has happened in the heart of the city.
A dead body was found on top of a city bus,
creating major congestion.
We'll go live to the scene.
When I stepped on the brakes,
a person's arm covered my view.
And there was this bloody body.
According to the police,
the deceased is identified as the manager of an actress
Hyun-woo, take a look! who committed suicide...
Hey! You've got to see this! Everything's okay!
Would you fucking listen?
No one knows!
It's a total accident! Nothing's going to happen to us!
And Jin-hyuck's car was probably stolen.
No one knows! We're fine!
Jin-hyuck...
was that really an accident?
You fucker look at me straight!
Now I see... at last...
Fuck.
You were there with me.
- You're an accomplice. - Yeah.
I know. I helped you kill him.
What?
It's all a lie...
It's all a lie.
How can you fuck me over like this?
Get moving!
Yes, thank you for calling.
How can I help you?
I...
Yes?
Can... I file a... missing person report here?
A person is missing.
Are you family?
No. A friend. Please help.
Name?
Hyun-woo Choi.
The missing person is... Hyun, woo, Choi
No... no.
What?
It's Jin-hyuck.
- Jin-hyuck Sah... - I see... Jin-hyuck Sah.
Do you know his Citizen ID Number?
I think he was born in '76 or '75.
Jin-hyuck Sah...
No such a person.
No one by that name.
There's no Jin-hyuck Sah born in '76 or '75.
That can't be...
Maybe in '74?
There is no one by that name in any year.
And Jin-hyuck Sah is not a common name.
He's an emigrant, maybe an American citizen.
Look, I can't find an American here.
You can register his American name with us...
and go to US embassy...
I don't know his American name...
Don't know any other name...
Sir, you are his friend, right?
Please look him up again...
I can't find him.
Please help...
Please...
Can't help you.
I wanted to see you.
You missed the time-slip spot
that only comes around every 79 years?
What are we going to do?
Where are we?
We should go.
Towards the future.
Searching for the elephant.
