L.U.C.A.: The Beginning
This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual names, places, organizations, religious references, and incidents is entirely coincidental.
The episode was filmed with adequate accommodations to ensure the safety and the emotional well-being of the infant and minor actors used.
Previously Ji Oh would've used all his power even if that meant his death.
So he probably won't even be able to remember who he is now.
Ji Oh, this bastard.
So that kid showed up again?
Yes, we're doing our best to collect him.
Run away.
I said don't do it!
This may be a great opportunity, but you know this is also our last chance, right?
Of the two, whoever is alive is a murder suspect.
- We've met before, haven't we? - I clearly remember who you are now.
So you, too, have to get your memories back.
You have to remember what happened to my mom and dad.
He wouldn't die, would he?
In critical condition, he's still at risk of dying.
Even if he's dead, bring me his body. As soon as possible, in the freshest condition.
He ran away.
He was near death. But he got up!
He inadvertently kills the weak cells in him, preserving only the strong ones.
I waited for you. What have I done to you?
It is I who have questions for you.

We'll be back, Gu Reum.
You'll have to stay alone for a bit.
Where are you going?
We'll be back soon. It wouldn't even take an hour.
Let's have pork cutlets for lunch.
Mom.
My baby, instead of pork cutlets, let's go eat something more delicious later.
What would be more delicious?
Your dad will buy you whatever you like.
We'll be back soon.
♫ Let me hold you in my arms. ♫
♫ I hope we can be together. ♫
♫ We don't have to run away, like now ♫
♫ It's time ♫
Episode 3
Gu Reum's in an accident.
Investigate her case as that of kidnapping or missing.
Block this train station front and back, so not even an ant can escape.
Yes, sir!
♫ Look at me. ♫
♫ Voice to me ♫
♫ Find tree. ♫
Is this possible?
There's no way this is possible.
No, how can this be a ridiculous ass of things?
It's an assortment of human DNAs and those of jellyfish, electric eels and even flies.
Aren't these DNAs all genetically modified?
Modifying in so many different ways is impossible,
unless you put all these animals in a mixer to combine their DNAs.
That means their embryonic stem cells were manipulated.
Regardless of what technology is used, isn't that illegal?
What kind of a person would do something like this unless he's gone crazy?
I don't know of anyone who could do something like this except one.
Who is that?
Doctor Ryu Jung Kwon.
Ryu Jung Kwon?
The guy who can't use one of his arms?
-You know him?-Of course, I do.
When he got found out he was manipulating human cells for genetic engineering, he was expelled from academia and got arrested.
He's known to be a total psycho in this field.
He's a complete lunatic.
We went to college together.
He was one of my closest friends.
I'm sorry.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
The one who started the rumor of him being crazy,
and the one who got him kicked out of academia was me.
When will the heaven take away the broken and no-goods of the earth?
Aren't you hungry?
Why? After all, we do this to eat and live.
Stop it. This is serious.
What's more serious than wanting to eat when you're hungry?
Let's go.
Everyone makes, at least, one big mistake in their life.
Mistakes like killing, stealing, doing drugs and getting married.
But you've already made one big mistake.
I saved you when you would've easily been left in prison to rot. The least you can do is not to repeat the same mistake.
I'm sorry.
This isn't a situation where saying sorry is going to cut it.
I still can find him.
Where? And how?
Don't tell me you're going to wait for him to resurface again.
He disappeared with the female detective who followed us at the hospital.
The entire police force are probably looking for her.
If we can tap into what, who, and where the police investigate,
we'll be able to catch him before they do.
What if he abandoned the female detective and ran away alone?
If he'd just left her, then she'd have died on the train track.
But he troubled himself to save her.
Quite unlike him who ran away all the time,
this is the first time I've seen him save someone.
I'll let you know what the police are doing, so catch him.
If you just do this job well, then I'll let you retire.
You can't live here forever.
Don't you want to live in a house with windows and a backyard?
And get yourself a dog, too.
But don't get married, though.
It only creates problems.
Anyway, I have to get a shot once every two weeks
for the rest of my life.
I couldn't leave this place even if I wanted to.
There must be a way.
Once we bring Ji Oh in, I'll give you one of his arms, and you put it on.
You know his body parts are highly compatible with anyone.
Can you really do that for me?
What's so difficult about giving you one of his arms?
Some things take care of themselves when you learn to prioritize.
When you tackle bigger problem first, solving smaller ones becomes way easy for you.
You better catch him this time.
Repeating the same result isn't a mistake, but a talent.
I stopped your bleeding, but I'm not sure if it worked.
You got your head injured. You shouldn't overexert yourself.
Well, I should overexert myself with you now.
Stop, please.
Just tell me who I am. You said you remembered who I was.
If you want to hear me talk, you come clean first and tell me what you remember.
I remember someone lying unconscious and saving that person's life.
I think that someone was you, but I'm not entirely sure.
Hey, thanks for saving me.
Is that enough? What else?
Nothing. Ever since I woke up at the hospital, I was being chased and ended up here. That's all I remember.
Anything about the guys chasing you?
- Nothing. - Anything about you falling off from the rooftop?
- No. - How about the death of Mr. Kim?
Who is Mr. Kim?
Did you get your head damaged somehow?
Tell me what you know.
Get off me.
♫ True power, what you do ♫
♫ True power ♫
Though we've just met, can we be civil and talk?
♫ Come away ♫
♫ with me to a world ♫
Juan Metropolitan Police Agency
Just what about that kid made them hunt him down even to the hospital and kill?
I guess they wanted to clean him up. After all, he's the witness to their murder.
I just don't get it. How did a kid with broken vertebrae get up and run away?
His X-rays probably got mixed up. All the while, he was fine.
Team Captain, don't you find the things I think strange not at all strange?
What's stranger for me is how kids can kill their own parents for inheritance.
And how some sickos abduct cute, innocent children and bury them.
Funny, aren't you bursting with humanity all of a sudden?
Hey, the second you think you can kill your parent or your child
is when you're stripped of your worth as a human being.
I know that, too. It's just funny to see you act all so humane.
Are you running for an office? Will I see you work the marketplace munching rice cakes and sausages?
Just as many politicians do, will you reminisce about your poor childhood with the vendors?
- Why doesn't he come out already? - God, you startled me.
Did you find it? There was one, right?
- Yes, there was. - See, what did I tell you? There was.
Immediately following the report of the fire at the subway station, there came in a report of a stolen vehicle.
The license plate number is 22 GA 7801, and it's a silver vehicle.
For now, we issued a recovery warrant on the vehicle.
Got it.
See, could he have carried Gu Reum in his arms or on his back?
He had to have stolen a car and got away.
Lucky for you, I'm a veteran capable of thinking that much.
Good job. In fact, you did great.
Now scan all the CCTVs and track down the location of the stolen vehicle.
You mean, me?
Wait, Team Captain.
Crap, does he have to ruin it for me like this?
The police know about the stolen vehicle and are looking for it. Stand by in the car.
How
can you not remember anything?
I recall some things but can't figure out what they are. I'm not even sure they are about me.
But then, how can you remember me?
I'm curious, too. So I rescued you.
Have we met before?
Unless there's another guy just like you, it must've been you.
Could you put on the siren any louder? Must you advertise we're heading to the crime scene?
I was ten years old when you came to my house.
Are you sure that was me?
Your eyes emanated rays of blue.
Hey, what's wrong? Don't do that.
Don't do that. You're scaring me.
Dad! Dad!
That thing attacked me.
Why was I in your house?
That's something I want to ask you.
Why were you brought to my house and where were you taken to?
I have to wonder how a kid who stayed a night in my house
can haunt me with such pain all my life.
That was the last I saw them.
Right after that, my mom and dad vanished.
I don't remember a thing.
Just because you don't remember, that doesn't mean you don't have a past.
Do you think I killed them?
You're quite capable of that.
What I saw that day was a devil.
I'm scared of people.
So much so that when I sense someone approaching me, all the hair on my body stands up.
If I'm a devil as you say, will I be terrified of people as I am?
You shouldn't be the judge of whether you're a devil or not.
Hey, hurry up. Hurry.
Even if I have to dig through your brain, I'll find out what happened for sure.
Someone is here.
Run. It's him!
What are you?
Are you a fixer? If not, a private eye?
Where is he? Even if you guys get him, he'll end up in my hands.
This isn't where some police lady should meddle in.
What the hell do you think you are, you bastard?
Be prudent about using your guns. Don't just pull the triggers.
- You three, go this way. And we'll go this way. - Yes, Sir!
To the second floor!
Don't touch him. He's mine.
Gu Reum.
Gu Reum!
You bastard!
Hey!
Go ahead! Go!
Hey, are you okay?
You're okay, right? Stay here.
At 7 p.m. Be here.
-That guy is really fast.-He's gone?
Yeah.
Go and keep looking for him.
You go that way.
Hey, are you really okay?
Yes, but how did you find me here?
Were you really kidnapped?
I passed out during the fight on the subway, and I woke up to find myself here.
Show me your arm.
-Pardon? -Show me your arm.
-There aren't any marks of restraints.-No.
Being a detective, how many kidnapping and abduction cases do you think I've worked on all these years?
Is this a quiz?
Be it a case of kidnapping or abduction, at the end, the victim always says, "Thank you."
But do you know what the perpetrator says?
-What does he say? -"How did you find me?"
You said that just now.
Why won't you answer me? You're usually great with smart comebacks.
-Are you suspecting me? -Yes.
Are you saying I kidnapped myself?
I'm not hiding anything.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
- Really? - Well, what about you? Aren't you hiding anything?
-What about me? -You're not telling me how you found me here.
Oh, is it a trade secret?
-Something happened, right? -I don't know. I was unconscious.
Something happened to you. That's why you're trying to hide it.
I'll assign you to a female officer in charge, so make an honest statement. I'll keep it a secret.
Wow, you're really letting your imagination run wild.
- Am I wrong? - Yes, you are.
- I don't think I am, though. - Nothing like that happened, I'm telling you!
Then that's a relief.
Are you guys having fun here?
-Have you searched every corner? - We did. He's not here.
Yes, he isn't here.
Let's evacuate and put him on a wanted list.
Let's leave.
Are you sure he didn't escape?
I didn't see him go out.
So, Ji Oh treated that girl?
There's more than that. I felt he was trying to protect her.
If they're close enough to protect each other, they'll meet up again, no doubt.
Haneul Ae Gu Reum, graduated from the Police Academy,
She was first assigned to Felony and Homicide. Then she was transferred to Criminal Investigation for insubordination.
Her records show nothing noteworthy except that her parents went missing.
- That is what's different about her. Her father is Ha Young Jae.- Did you say, Ha Young Jae?
He was the co-founder and co-researcher of this lab. The very man who created Ji Oh.
If it hadn't run away with Ji Oh and his research materials, we wouldn't be in all this mess.
Did you not catch him then? So did he go missing?
We have your wife, too.
If you don't start talking, your wife dies. Do you want to make your daughter an orphan?
I don't know either. He disappeared with his wife.
Was it Ji Oh's doing?
Very likely.
- I'll deal with the police. You keep an eye on the female detective.- Yes, sir.
Can I see you right now?
Why? Am I pretty?
Why is your face in that state?
I'm a detective, you know.
You should've been obedient. Why ask for troubles in a tough place when you can have the cozy job of digging up dirt on people?
- I wasn't kicked out for not obeying my orders. - Then what for?
I was investigating my immediate supervisor. Such a shady guy he was.
- Even when you were told not to, did you continue? -Yes.
That's what insubordination is.
Did you ask to see me just to scold me?
Both. To scold you and ask for a favor.
A favor I'll do, but I won't do any of your requests.
- Find me this one person.- That sounds more like a request.
Remember the man who was near death at the hospital but then got up and ran away?
Did you say his name was Ji Oh?
I analysed his DNA and found rather strange.
- In what way was it strange? - I don't know if you will believe this.
- I'll believe it. - What?
Anything.
You might not believe it. He's human, but he doesn't seem human.
What?
How should I put this? Well, it's hard to say he's human.
Is he a mutant, then?
- No, he isn't.- Then someone with a supernatural power?
When the potency of a power is exceptional, you can call it a superpower. But that isn't anything we can tell from DNAs.
Then what is strange?
I can only find out what's strange after examining him.
You want me to find Ji Oh?
He's part of your investigation. I'm talking about Ryu Jung Kwon. I went to college with him.
If he's a friend from college, you should be able to find him easily.
I don't even know if he's dead or alive. That's why I'm asking you.
- He's been reported as missing?- Nobody's reported him missing. He simply vanished.
Did his family not report him missing?
His family apparently cut off their ties with him, so that might explain why, but...
Did something happen?
At an academic symposium long time ago, he was a keynote speaker and raised the eyebrows of many.
We, humans have realized how incomplete we are.
But then, we made wrong choices to compensate our incompleteness.- Code of Research Ethics and Philosophy of Science
Instead of developing our strength, we invented machines.
Instead of developing our brains, we invented computers.
In the future, robots will be given the job of production
and all the thinking will be done by Artificial Intelligence.
Humans chose technology over evolution.
As a result, technology keeps advancing,
while humans are only degenerating.
What we saw in him wasn't a young scientist's ambition but madness.
Isn't what he said true, though?
Perhaps it was. There were people who frantically supported his views, after all.
We humans are becoming the only species on earth to have stopped our evolution.
Evolution is change, and change is survival.
All species that stop evolving will go extinct.
In order to stop human race from getting obliterated,
we must trigger artificial evolution and awaken our species.
We must realize this code of research ethics is
the very thing that lets human race go degenerate.
The true value of science
lies not in cutting away at its advancement,
but further challenging it.
When the symposium was over, I was asked to furnish the academy with my written opinions.
I mobilized every word I knew
to condemn Dr. Ryu. The academy went with my statement of opinions.
Dr. Ryu was expelled from the academy for having violated the research ethics code.
Furthermore, all his research grants were terminated.
He got arrested a few months later.
When he did, his family left him.
Why did he get arrested?
For misusing the research subsidies and illegally purching egg cells.
Plus, he smuggled in animals of endangered species.
He claimed his innocence.
But the social milieu of the time didn't think even a dealth penality was enough for him.
Was what he did that serious?
For instance, what if
you genetically engineer a human by combining with a dog to give them an exceptional ability to smell?
Or, what if you combine a bird with a human to give them the ability to fly?
Along the same vein, what if the DNAs of fish are used to create a child with gills?
Say, a human capable of shooting electricity like an eel,
or a human that stings you with venom just like a jellyfish,
Would that be a human? What are the premises that define what a human is?
He sure did more than claiming.
In reality, Dr. Ryu was actually making such genetic abnormalities.
It was so shocking that I stopped myself short of going to the press.
When his research lab was searched for confistication, a chimera was found.
What's a chimera?
It's a hybrid of different species of animals.
Or, it can be produced by combining a human and an animal.
That's just crazy wild.
Crazy wild, indeed.
After he was released from prison, he disappeared.
The rumor had it then he went abroad, or he killed himself and whatnot. But no one saw him.
Then do you think Dr. Ryu Jung Kwon created Ji Oh?
- I'm only guessing. - What's the pobability of Dr. Ryu having done just that?
Well,
Not long ago, in China and America,
genetic engineering produced a child that's immune from AIDS virus.
Once they put their mind to it, they can manufacture any type of a human they so desire.
They can even modify the cells of a pig with those of a human
to grow human organs in that pig.
So the pig is a pig on the outside, but with human organs inside?
Gross, isn't it?
Unfortunately, it isn't the limitation of scientific advancement.
- What if it isn't? - It's the limitations the ethics code imposes.
The ethics code mandates how far an experiment can go.
In other words, once the code is breached, there's no limit how far an experiment can go, right?
Many scientists have keen interests in creating new forms of life.
After all, any one of us has the innate desire to be a god.
What if scientists succeed in creating hybridized life forms?
Will the modified life forms be given the capacity to feel as humans?
Not sure.
Perhaps their instincts are more honed than their feelings.
Anyhow, parts of their forms are animals.
When we have enough of those hybridized forms, they'll harm ordinary humans, right?
The world isn't ruled by the strongest of all species,
but by the species most adept at changing.
Hence human race rules the earth.
Look at us. Aren't we gross as a species?
We inhabit every known corner of the world.
You can find Dr. Ryu, right?
I'll try.
Kim who was killed by a train returning to its terminus
is known to have served in the military previously.
Kim ran away as he was being investigated in 2019 for his misconduct while serving in the military.
From the text message that's considered as his suicide note,
the police investigate his death with suicide as the strong motive. [Sorry to you all. See you again as comrades in the next life.]
In the text message that's been reported...
When we're the actual police on his case, who's saying that he killed himself?
It isn't me.
Me, neither.
No reporter came to our office.
Pathetic. They call themselves reporters when all they do is rush to air their flimsy stories without actual investigation.
Strange, we couldn't do a background check on Kim Wang Sik now deceased.
Who did the background check to retrieve the text message?
Team Captain, about the death at the subway platform.
clearly the reporters know the things we don't know.
We couldn't run a background check, so we sent in a formal, written request. So far, we've got no answer.
Forget it. His case is no longer in our jurisdiction.
- What are you talking about? - Along with the Ji Oh's case, this case too is taken away from our jurisdiction.
- All of you, take your hands off. - Pardon?
With murder and abduction, this case is worth many points. Why do we want to let it taken away from us?
Where was it given to? To the Property and Crime Unit?
Don't know.
I just saw the Unit Chief and was told to hand over the case.
Collect all the data for transfer.
We have nothing.
How can we have data?
All we've done is run around and haven't started an investigation yet.
What about Gu Reum?
- Has she gone to the hospital? - How would I know?
She said after getting the medical treatment she'd need, she'd come in tomorrow.
♫ Everybody is gone. You fear of being all alone. ♫
♫ You like you stronger alone. ♫
♫ I can't feel anything. ♫
♫ I can't hear anything. ♫
♫ Do you know what happened? ♫
♫ It's not this tree. ♫
♫ Whatever. ♫
♫ I remember the piece of memory, but the fact that I was frightened of you. ♫
♫ Hurt was like a desert. Life is full of pain and confusion. ♫
Eat. That's yours.
♫ Only your love was a hope for me. ♫
♫ Only your heart was a hope for me. ♫
You said you had memories you couldn't erase in your head.
A white room. A red hallway.
A child terrified.
The curtains on fire. Academiron.
Green land.
Wind. Your face. And my name.
Any memory of killing anyone?
Not sure.
Hey, don't say you don't know. Try to remember things.
I do remember waking up after having lost my conscious.
But once or ten times? I can't know.
I wake up in a strange place every time.
So you wake up from your unconsciousness without any memory?
Most of the time, except for a few things.
How convenient. I wish I could do what you can do.
Turning on and off your memory.
Do you know how it feels to be cut off from your own life?
Without knowing what I have done
and who I am, I'm left alone. Do you know how that feels?
Since I don't know how I've lived, I can't know how I'm to live. Do you know how frustrating that is?
Do you know what it feels living with pain all the time?
My mom and dad who promised me port cutlets for lunch didn't come back after they left with you.
Are they dead or alive?
If neither was the case,
did they just abandon me?
One moment, I hope they're alive somewhere, and next I worry what if they are.
If, in fact, they abandoned me and are alive and well all this time,
where does that leave me?
I've lived haunted by that ugly thought all my life. Do you know how that feels?
You have, at least, the memory of getting abandoned. But I have nothing.
I can't know how you feel because I have no parents.
I have nothing more to say since I don't remember things.
I'll be going.
You're from an orphanage.
We'll go down there tomorrow.
Once we get there, we'll find out.
Who left you there.
And whether you were left there before or after you came to my house.
Did you just say I was at an orphanage?
When I call you, answer the phone.
Hey.
Where is the orphanage?
Are you curious?
I told you.
I'd dig deep into your head if that's what it takes to get my answers.
What if I won't go?
Live as you do now for the rest of your life.
Without knowing who you are.
You haven't eaten yet?
Did you see the news?
They say a former, corrupt civil servant killed himself.
What a joke.
Even a deceased would want to keep their honor.
Honor for a dead? That's a luxury.
What would they say if I died today?
They'd probably say a former female military officer killed herself
when her plan to get promoted by sleeping with her superior went awry?
So don't die.
I was told what I do is for my country.
And that I was called, once again, to pledge my allegiance to my country.
But I'm not all that sure I'm doing things the right way.
Our country is too big while we're too small.
It's only natural we can't understand everything.
Just as ants can't know the workings of the universe?
if you don't like, you always can leave.
What about my leg then?
It'll rot and fall away if I don't get my injections.
Don't you, too, keep quiet and follow their orders for the same reason as me, Team Leader?
Stop pouting.
I guess you can say that I'm pouting.
You can just as easily give up on you arm as I can my leg.
But to keep our limbs, we're dong what we do without knowing why.
The female detective will be given a new cell phone tomorrow.
I'm told a tracking device is embedded in the phone. So don't lose her.
You want to get off early, why?
I've got fifteen stitches.
Back in my day, with an injury like that, we just stitched it up with a stapler and kept working.
- You're being pampered. - That's why you're called a konde, an old generation.
It's an honor. Konde is now listed in the dictionaries used in England.
You mean English dictionaries, not the dictionaries in England.
Watch it. I'm a patient.
Why do you want to get off early?
- I'm going to rest. - What will you do while resting?
You kept complaining I didn't rest, but now you're complaining that I am!
It's weird you wanting to rest. You refused when I asked you to.
I remind you, I'm a patient.
Who is this?
Kim Wang Sik. Do you recognize him?
He's the guy from the subway platform!
He killed himself by letting himself run over by a train.
What nonsense. That was an accident!
You can't explain it if you make it an accident.
Why was he there at that time? Who sent him there for what reason?
But when it's a suicide, there's no need to explain any of that. It's simply a personal matter.
- But why is it a suicide? - The police announced it as such.
- But this is our case. What police say it was a suicide? - The police in another jurisdiction.
- What jurisdiction? - I don't know.
I was simply told to turn the case over and keep my hands off. Nobody told me who'd investigate the case and where.
With a demand like that, shouldn't they tell you where to turn the case over and who will receive it?
So they're saying an ordinary police unit has no business in a case like this. Is that it?
Kid, what do you mean by "ordinary police"? We now have the investigation rights.
Then where did they take the case to?
I don't know. What else can I do besides taking my hands off? You do the same, alright?
- Team Leader! - I'm warning you so that you don't go around causing problems.
So you just go to your corner without a word of protest?
I protested, loud and clear.
Weren't you kicked out of the Felony and Homicide for insubordination?
You were investigating your immediate supervisor. Lucky that you only got transferred because you were with Felony and Homicide.
People like us at the bottom rung of criminal investigation will be terminated immediately.
So don't go around digging dirt. Just rest.
This is a new phone for you from the police force. Report your old one as lost & broken. Then go home.
What happened? Where are you?
I'll join you soon. Keep me informed till then.
How rude. Sit in the front. Are you a CEO or something?
On second thought, just go back to the backseat.
I feel uncomfortable with you sitting next to me.
I said go back!
Where's the orphanage?
You don't remember anything about the orphanage?
I was never there.
People can lie but not what's said on paper.
Move to the back!
Doesn't it matter where I sit?
It's me you don't like, not the seats.
Do you want to ride in the trunk?
Go.
How can I help you?
I'm Haneul Ae Gu Reum. I'm here to meet Sister Stella.
You're the detective who called earlier, right?
She's waiting for you. Come in.
I'll ask questions. You be quiet.
Sister Stella.
How do you do? I'm Gu Reum who called you earlier.
For someone who's a detective,
you sure give off a good aura.
I don't know why you're here,
but since you came this far, I'll pray for your blessings.
It seems like you're with company.
Yes, we came together.
I'll pray for your blessings, too.
Aren't you going to thank her?
Thank you.
She's still in the convent. Is she praying?
Give me some kind of reaction.
Didn't you see her profile? She's an atheist.
I'm looking for a person.
For various reasons, we had to shut down the orphanage a long time ago.
I don't know how much I'll remember.
Who are you looking for?
This dates back to twenty years ago. Would you happen to know Jang Jae Woo and Hwang Eun Gyeong?
I don't.
Hwang Eun Gyeong at Uicheon Convent
According to their families, they attended this church.
They said they were going to a mass that day only to be never seen again.
I've lived here my whole life.
If that had happened, the police would've come to see me.
I haven't heard of any of our church members gone missing.
Even though they went missing, no police ever showed up?
They never did on account of that incident.
Then why else did they show up here?
There was a fire in our church once.
- The police came for the first time. - I see.
By chance, do you remember the name, Ji Oh?
Do you remember?
Ji Oh... why yes.
How could I forget that name?
By chance, can I find out who brought him here?
No, that child came here by himself.
When I went out in the morning, he was standing before the Virgin Mary.
"Did you come alone? Did someone bring you here?"
I asked, but he always gave the same answer.
He ended each his sentence with "Jioh, jioh" for a polite speech. So we named him Ji Oh.
Do you not remember the exact day, month, and year he came here?
I don't remember that much.
It happened so long ago.
Twenty years have gone by already.
Was there anyone who came to visit or sponsored him?
Why do you ask? What do you want to know?
I just wanted to know if anyone was connected to him.
Has that child caused any problems?
No. Has anyone adopted your orphans?
Four did.
Of those who adopted, were there anyone named Ha Yeong Jae?
Ha Yeong Jae. Ha Yeong Jae.
No.
It's the first time I've heard of the name.
It's possible your memory is foggy. If you have any documentation, could I have a look?
No.
It isn't anything I could forget.
I can't possibly forget things that have to do with that child.
Whenever people took him to adopt him,
they would return him back here the day after
saying they couldn't handle him.
Everyone said they couldn't keep him for even a night.
They always had a terrified look on their faces and left here as if they were running away.
Um, Sister.
That's the kind of child he was.
Everyone had such a difficult time with him.
Yes, I understand.
And that child?
- You don't have to tell us more. - No.
If you are involved with that child,
you must know this. That child set fire to this place.
That was when I got my eyes hurt.
Don't keep that child close to you.
He doesn't even remember having been here.
He always said that.
Whenever he caused big problems, he'd say he didn't remember.
That he wasn't the one who caused the problems.
Do you know why he did that?
Why?
Because in that child,
there was a devil.
Was it that the devil set this place on fire, and the child didn't remember?
No.
That child was the devil himself.
He changed his persona whenever he needed to.
It wasn't me who set the fire.
I never set this place on fire. How could I when I was never here?
Are you Ji Oh?
No, that can't be.
He can't be in here.
No way. If you're indeed that child, you can't come in here.
If that child is me, I'm right here.
So you are Ji Oh.
You really are Ji Oh.
Yes, it's him.
Sister!
Sister Stella!

Great Angel, St. Michael.
Please protect us for we are in the midst of a battle.
Please protect us from the trickeries and schemes of Satan.
I humbly beseech the triune God of heaven, please hear my plea.
O LORD of Hosts,
Satan and his minions wander in the earth for the destruction of souls.
I pray to Thee to condemn them to hell.
Please send them to hell!
Is that me?
Was I such an unbearable existence?
You are a devil.
You are a devil, and you should've burnt to death before you returned here.
How were you able to return here? You're Devil's child.
Great Angel, St. Michael, please protect us for we are in the midst of a battle.
Please protect us from the trickeries and schemes of Satan and his minions.
I've never been here before. I told you, it wasn't me.
Do you know how many you killed?
You burned alive to death those young children and those lovely sisters.
No, that wasn't me.
You are a devil. No, you are Devil himself.
Today you will burn to death right here.
I will never let you victimize me again. Never.
Great Angel, St. Michael.
Please protect us for we are in the midst of a battle.
Lord, please protect us.
Please protect us from the trickeries and schemes of Satan and his minions.
O LORD of Hosts!
Let's go.
Please protect us.
Enough. Let's go.
Great Angel, St. Michael.
Please protect us for we are in the midst of a battle.
Please protect us from the trickeries and schemes of Satan and his minions.
O LORD of Hosts.
Who are you?
Where is this place? I don't know.
I didn't do it. I don't know anything.
Please chase away that devil with this holy water.
With this holy water, please chase away the devil.
Please condemn this wicked serpent to hell.
Please send him to hell.
Please chase this old dragon to the depths of the inferno.
Please, I beseech you.
Please bind this foolish monster in chains and send him to hell.
Please don't do that!
Please send away this devil!
Please condemn this wicked serpent to hell!
- This old dragon to the depths— - Stop it!
This serpent, the old dragon who is Devil, Satan himself...
he tempts your saints and leads them to the way of hell—
Please don't do this.
Please protect us from the trickeries and schemes Satan and his minions.
I plead with the Heavenly Father. Please bind him!
I told you to stop.
Condemn to Hades all the evil spirits and Satan wandering in the earth!
Stop!
While you knew nothing about me, you made me to be a monster.
I was a human until you called me a monster. It's you who made me a monster.
Disappear into hell, you devil.
Why should I?
You are a monster full of evil spirits!
Why am I?
♫ Look at me. Voice to me ♫

This monster,
please deliver him to hell!
Don't do it!

♫ Find tree. ♫
♫ Please let me sleep on it, so I can breathe in. ♫
♫ I'm searching for something that's beautiful. ♫
♫ That scent takes me there. I'll never fall. I'll never stop. ♫
♫ Because I'm going to take everything I've got, just. ♫
♫ Follow the noise, follow the whispered breeze. ♫
♫ Gotta keep the search. ♫
I don't want to know more. I'm scared.
That's the key to finding out who you are.
Do I just need to have faith?
Please bring Ji Oh in safely.
I can say for sure now. He is not human.
Ji Oh, is that you? Ji Oh, right?
Someone knows that we are together.
It isn't love, is it?
Do you want to run away with me?
You were never once danger to me.
You were the only one.
Stop it.
I remember now.
