Who's there?
This is the Seocho Police.
ls this Hyun-woo Choi?
Yes.
May we come up?
Uh... one minute.
Yes, come up.
Sorry.
Morning, Mr. Hyun-woo Choi?
We have a missing personons...
Can we come in?
I dated her five years and this is how it ends.
She's probabIy out...
Hey, hey!! Enough!!
This is bigger than I thought.
Got any tooIs?
- TooIs? - Yeah.
We're going! We're going!
Everywhere reminds me of her. Everywhere.
Amazing? AII coupIes. AII this peopIe in pairs!
How do they aII manage to find right one?
ShouId have done more things when we were together.
I reaIIy want to get out of this city.
Why am I dumped?
I'm a decent guy...
Let it be.
Who knows how your Iife is going to change.
HeIIo?
HeIIo...
HeIIo?
What? What did you say?
Take photos of a cat at a zoo?!
Look I'm meeting someone. Let's taIk Iater.
KnuckIe head.
You shouId try to find some inner peace.
Inner what?
Now where wouId I buy inner peace.
I bet money wouId make a woman stay...
Love might be for saIe, but money is not the currency.
You are seeing someone?
Let's caII it a night.
You need to go to the zoo, and search for the eIephant.
Remember? When we were kids, we went to the Chang-Kyung Zoo.
Man, you remember the strangest things...
Where wouId you Iike to fix today?
I suggest tightening the chin Iine...
How much?
Let me finish inside.
Wednesday?
Huh?
Yeah...
Where did you park today? unidentified caller
Ms. Mi-young Kim for surgery on Wednesday.
It's Mi-young 'KANG'.
WeII, Wednesday then.
We are in dire need of Siberian tiger offsprings.
Last year, the femaIe died aII of a sudden.
Even back then we used Viagras
to tiger porns...
but he just wouIdn't mate.
So we are bringing him a new bride from China.
But first, we need a reaI size photo of our maIe
to show it to the bride candidates. So we wouId know
which femaIe feeIs attracted to our maIe.
Isn't it good?
Think of it as taking an engagement picture.
Later on, we can aIso use your photos as PR materiaIs.
Sir, I don't have to go in there to take these photos?
- Huh? Don't be scared. - No... it's not that...
These days, he gets fed so much, he veggies out aII day.
He is not hungry at aII.
Maybe that's why he has no desire for sex.
Anyway, thank you
for heIping us preserve
the heritage of our tiger, the nationaI symboI.
- Ye... yes. Sir? - Yes...?
Where wouId eIephants be?
EIephants...?
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
feeIs so faint to me...
doesn't seem reaI.
I'm sure as much as you've Iost in those years,
You've gained a Iot as weII.
This pIace being one of them.
And it seems, I too have turned out okay.
Can't teII you how gIad I am to see you aII successfuI.
Don't you have any security cameras in your buiIding?
Fuck no, I aIways thought it was too expensive.
I have no cIue who did this.
The motherfucker even knows my ceII number.
Wait, Hyun-woo, hoId on a sec.
The midterm scores are out.
Again you came in dead Iast in the cIass!
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 nationaI symboI?
Who knows what that crazy man was taIking about.
But he is better than me.
At Ieast, 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 deIicious as aIways.
Same here.
I shouId go and start cIosing up.
Right, the boss shouId go and do herjob.
Hey, the night is stiII young. How about another round?
Huh?
Must get IoneIy?
I wouId feeI Iost
aII aIone here.
Just find it again. Whatever it is just find it again.
Isn't there onIy one way to find what's been Iost?
Stop Iooking,
and just wait.
What were you up to in those 12 years when you went missing?
I waited.
- I waited. - What?
Love.
Ever feIt that spirituaI force through the eyes of the beIoved?
If you stop Iooking, it wiII 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.
PIease heIp these gentIemen, and go home earIy today.
Maybe it's a petty thief.
We aIso Iost a nurse's uniform.
Who knows? Maybe some sore about
past surgery resuIts...
If you made my tits Iop-sided,
I wouId send you a snake.
What about you?
You moan Iike a bitch over a girI Iike a cheesy teenager.
Gee... I guess I shouId be more Iike you.
Screwing everything that moves. That must be the man's Iife.
It's aIright. 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 smaII penis.
That's why you fuck around
to make up for the depravity.
Hey, hey!
Hyun-woo did you find the eIephant?
EIephant? What eIephant?
It's been such a Iong time.
Luxury escort.
The masterpiece of my Iife. Come here!
- SIow down. - Not wearing any?
I wonder where the eIephant grave is...
It's Iike a country papered with hostess bars.
I wonder where aII those women end up...
Fuck... what the heII am I taIking 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,
l am sure with more effort, he will get better results.
What do you think?
ln the case of Mr. Choi, suicide attempts have
failed despite his endeavors.
lt is imperative that he try such diverse methods as electrocution,
gas asphyxiation, overdose...
Sh... hush, hush.
Just read the teIeprompter Iike you're suppose to...
Hyun-woo Choi, throw it. l dare you.
As you can see, that Mr. Choi's will power
- I, too feeI 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 cIass escorts...
Korea is becoming the 'sex heaven'for tourists.
High cIass escorts...
monthIy pay of...
25miIIion won.
Robots with the exact same pIastic surgery.
The plastic surgery industry, is struggling with the recession...
Your goIden days are over...
You caII yourseIves doctors?
This city has more pIastic surgery hospitaIs 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 goId-digging women.
You act as if you know the price of everything,
yet you peopIe know the vaIue of nothing.
Hyun-woo Choi!
Hyun-woo
Among these peopIe... You are the Iowest.
You caII 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 Ioser...
What are you doing?
I can't do anything aII day.
Bitch.
Fucking bitch.
Enough is enough, I said to myseIf.
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,
asshoIe is pure trash.
Don't worry about it.
I'II catch you Iater. I'm gonna go work out.
It's hot here!
Ah no... don't take it off.
Tighter...
Doctor, how is your bIood pressure?
It's much better now.
AII this time, not one phone caII.
I hate you.
Didn't you miss me?
Of course I missed you. That's why I'm here.
You aIways do whatever you want.
You changed careers and I've been busy too.
Your phone's ringing! Don't you have yoga cIass?
Are you feeIing better?
Minsuk, the fucking genius,
picked a tee time at this hour.
What's wrong with you?
It's freezing. CIose the door!
Hey! Hey!
Man, now I am reaIIy angry.
You the medicine man... huh?
What wouId I do without you? I Iove you man.
You know marijuana...
Remember when we were kids, we went to the Chang-Kyung Zoo?
Um... yeah.
ActuaIIy I don't. We did?
Never mind. Forget it.
What's the deaI with Jin-hyuck?
Our friend Jin-hyuck Sah.
I heard that he's in troubIe for iIIegaI specuIations.
He couId be under investigations.
ReaIIy?
The Iegendary seIf 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-Iipped he is.
I pried a coupIe of times but he didn't say much.
He probabIy has more scars than we know.
Maybe that's why he sometimes seems very unnaturaI.
He's got one heII of a goIf swing though.
What's the matter with you?
Me? What?
Your back swing is totaIIy wiId.
You don't even aim do you?
You are dangerous.
Not counting your muIIigans, How many OB's?
More than 20? Right?
Take a Iook.
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 shouId I do?
I think you need some professionaI heIp.
What heIp?
I think his swing needs some professionaI heIp,
His tee shots are dangerous.
How was your putting Iesson with Jin-hyuck?
AII about mind controI.
'Picture the Iine in your head and push the baII with faith.'
Oh I'm sorry! Let me heIp you.
It's fine, I got it.
Now what?
You are one sick bastard in need of serious heIp.
You Iove her?
Yeah, of course.
But... something aIways feeIs missing.
Does your wife know?
How wouId I know?
Maybe she knows maybe she doesn't.
I've had enough.
Even if you Iive together,
you can never reaIIy know another person.
Is everything okay with you?
You seemed pretty uptight on the phone earIier...
WeII you are the smart one, I'm sure you'II be fine.
What do I know? Just concerned about you.
Let's Ieave together.
It's our baby.
I'm Iike a horny teenager.
I can't seem to get enough.
Not that I don't get off with my wife,
but something's aIways missing. No partner ever satisfies me.
I think I'II wait outside.
No, stay.
My friend can stay, right?
Whatever is comfortabIe...
We know everything about each other.
We're even in-Iaws.
I feeI uncomfortabIe. I'II be outside.
Fucking bitch!
Oh, heIIo?
Are you my 2 O'cIock?
I'm, I'm not... not a patient.
Psychiatry Dr. Min-jung JANG
Why the stuttering?
I hope you weren't trying to kiII yourseIf?
TaIk to me for awhiIe.
ActuaIIy... it's...
I'm here with a friend...
He didn't want to come aIone.
What's the probIem?
I... I feeI... no...nostaIgic...
I have manic-depression...
You know your symptoms.
No...no... actuaIIy...
You know what's good about manic-depression?
When depressed, just wait. You'II be manic again.
Manic-depression can be treated psychoIogicaIIy.
Nah! It's not a psychoIogicaI.
It's a biochemicaI probIem.
Addiction is
the craving of the ceIIs to satisfy its urges.
And if that's not met, the ceIIs function abnormaIIy.
The scary thing is the symptoms wiII get worse
and eventuaIIy go out of controI.
So it's a Iong-term battIe?
Like in any disease, your wiII is the key.
You need to recognize your probIem
and be honest with youseIf.
The phone was ringing but it wasn't her.
It was no one.
It was just my mind hearing things.
Can I borrow your ceII phone?
What?
I don't think she'II pick up, if she sees my number.
I'm sorry.
Sorry. ActuaIIy I don't have a phone on me right now.
I see...
There are times when I think I wouId be much better off,
if she were dead.
I'm not normaI, am I?
If she was dead, I wouIdn't miss her
and I wouIdn't hope for her to come back to me...
It'd be much easier to accept.
I want her dead.
Maybe I'm a IittIe seIfish?
It's more seIf-Iove than seIfish.
You're protecting yourseIf.
Sense of Ioss is not easy for anyone.
I don't want to be a prisoner of my past.
But I desperateIy 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 peopIe feeI trapped by their present reaIity.
But memory is a good thing.
You can return to a time in your past
and rediscover the moment and reIive it.
You shouId try to find such a moment.
Somewhere in your memory...
Uh, I...
No worries.
What a patient teIIs me is strictIy confidentiaI.
How can I pay the fee for today's...
No need.
WeII thank you, Dr. Jang.
I hope I was heIpfuI.
Take the prescribed meds. And I'II see your test resuIts.
Bro. Are they ready?
The resuIts shouId 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 resuIts.
Lower your fucking voice...
You use condoms, don't you?
Not reaIIy...
What?!
You busy?
I gotta go fix my camera.
You said that couId wait?
ShouId I stay?
Forget it.
You are such a fucking pussy.
Go...
Hey!
Why the heII
did you ask for her ceII phone...
Hey!
What's up? You aIright?
I'm...
Why? What?
What is it?!
You fucker! I was actuaIIy worried!
Hyun-woo!
Fucker.
Hey!
- l'm standing in the middle of... - Get Iost!
ln 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 Iive there. FIying back tonight.
So, you've been in Japan aII aIong.
He does it better than you. Don't caII me!
Inspiration?
To find the girI from your dream, we're going to Daegu?
The high schooI girI in Daegu.
After aII these years, she might be waiting for me.
What's her name?
No idea.
She probabIy graduated coIIege by now.
She might not even be in Daegu. That's why I said I'd go aIone.
It's okay...
Maybe I'm just going Iunatic...
Who knows how your Iife is going to change.
Anyway Iife is
a gambIe with infinite possibiIities.
One time, I was so sick of work that I just drove south.
The scenery was amazing.
No matter how cynicaI I get in the city Iife,
nature is unchangingIy beautifuI.
Just Iisten.
How can I make more money and retire earIy?
Why don't I have a woman Iike that?
These seIf-torturing questions
trapped me in 'heII'.
WhiIe an hour-drive away from the city was
pure nature, maybe 'heaven' itseIf.
I reaIized then, that it was aII a matter of perspective.
A different perspective can change your choices in Iife.
And eventuaIIy bring about
a change in your Iife itseIf.
So anywhere you go, I'm happy to come aIong.
I appreciate it. For not treating me Iike a Iunatic.
Did you get divorced?
Huh? No.
Then I'm curious
why you're here to see me.
I'm sorry. My Iate apoIogy.
I have cIass now. My girIfriend is waiting.
What?
She and I are a reaI fit.
And we even have conversations.
No, no... I mean...
back then I was a jerk...
I accept your apoIogy.
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 steriIe.
ReaIIy?
Look, I'm trying to taIk honestIy with my coIIege friend.
Let's see each other at a better time.
You know my ceII number.
Now why the heII wouId I know your ceII 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 coIIege friend!
Accident?
She died during the Subway Arson Incident.
She was a senior then.
You're not taking it?
ShouIdn't have come...
Huh...?
It's okay.
No, I shouIdn't have come...
If I didn't come Iike a Iunatic, she'd stiII be aIive.
In my imagination... in my head...
in my photo...
You had no choice but to come. You were desperateIy searching...
Hyun-woo,
nothing can be as beautifuI as your imagination.
So try to go easy on yourseIf. Okay?
What are you doing?
Oh! Lighter...
Now?
Let's get groovy!
Fine, I'II just party by myseIf.
Hey. I'm the one who found it.
What are you doing?
Hey!
An eIephant. EIephant is fIying in the sky!
Your exaggerations aIways 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 whoIe nine yards.
What if it rains, We get what?
It aII 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...
BuIIshit. You're here to see that woman shrink, right?
No...
You reaIize that you suffer from affection-deficiency.
Shit, you're wearing coIogne. Let's get some coffee.
So you've covered aII your victims?
Do you count the bottIes when you drink beer?
They're aII mine fieIds and hornet's nests...
I just visited the suspicious ones...
You stiII don't know the cuIprit?
CuIprit? I don't even have any suspects yet.
By the way, have you seen Jin-hyuck recentIy?
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 wouId stiII be aIive.
My curiosity kiIIed
the girI in my dream.
Are you angry?
No. It's not Iike that...
Dr. Jang, I am not bIaming you.
Finding a moment in your memory doesn't mean
that your past becomes part of your reaIity.
There is the scary variabIe caIIed time.
Yes.
Try not to get hurt too much.
Refuse 'hurt' if it comes to you.
Because I can't cope with my reaIity, I escape to
my imagination and my memory I am a reaI schizophrenic.
I toId you psychosis patients aII have a common characteristic.
Yes, a Iunatic doesn't think he is crazy.
Right. So have no worries.
I smoke a Iot of weed...
You said whatever a patient says is confidentiaI, right?
I sometimes smoke a Iot of weed...
Is that why I'm Iike...?
If marijuana was that powerfuI,
then everyone wouId want some.
In your case, it's more psychoIogicaI...
You are not exactIy in the most stabIe state of mind.
Give yourseIf some time to recover.
I think my Iife is totaIIy messed up.
You're just human.
Imperfect, deIicate and compIicated.
Just Iike any other human being.
I guess, I'm just IoneIy...
Obstetrics
Did something happen?
Where were you?
What?
I was at yoga... What about the hospitaI?
Yoga... I have the day off.
Yoga...
Soo-yeon.
Let's try to get aIong from now on.
You watching a porn or something?
What's this?
You think she swaIIowed?
She swaIIowed it.
You knew, didn't you...?
Why?
What wouId my Iife be
without you and Jin-hyuck?
Thanks... I am reaIIy touched.
- I didn't take those pictures. - I know.
It's a continuation of anonymous threats.
I can't Iive Iike this! This isn't a way to Iive.
I never imagined my Iife wouId be this fucked up.
I'm sure you are not aIone.
Divorce?
I thought about it, but no.
AIthough I might screw others, I want to wake up with Soo-yeon.
Life without her is no Iife at aII.
I don't want to be abandoned.
It Iooks Iike you've aIready been abandoned.
Fuck, I don't know...
My Iife is made of threats,
shrink biIIs and addiction.
I fuck because I'm nervous, yet when I do fuck,
I'm pIagued with guiIt.
Maybe there's hope.
I have to quit.
Yeah...
But Jin-hyuck, that fucker...
What am I gonna do with him?
Is your oId hobby kicking back?
We never Iived together. So what's there to break up?
Don't be this way. I'm just being honest with you.
Then decIare honestIy!
I am sick of screwing you!
Take it, rode it weII for a year.
No... you can keep the car.
CouId you give me a ride home?
Move over.
Move.
It hurts.
Don't go, pIease? Don't go.
If you reaIIy have to go, then go and teII her.
TeII her you want a divorce.
If you're not gonna say that, you can't Ieave here.
Just move!
No! You don't have to break up with your wife!
Just don't break up with me!
PIease! Stay!
You missed your meeting.
The 'Empire of Lights' audition.
I was worried so I waited by your pIace.
No!
Is it because of him, isn't it?
Mari!
The city was fIooded and everyone had evacuated...
OnIy Mari was Ieft aIone in her house...
I was trying to rescue her.
I have a question.
When you woke up, how did you feeI?
Very sad...
I am sure you were very disturbed...
No. When I woke up,
I couIdn't remember Mari's face.
I caIIed out her name, yet I couIdn't remember her face.
I couIdn't beIieve it. I had forgotten her face.
You seem busy.
Your phone has been ringing consistentIy.
Is everything okay?
No. Things are a IittIe compIicated in my Iife these days.
Do you Iike eIephants?
When I was a kid,
my mom took me and my friends to the Chang-Kyung Zoo.
It was sunny and
there were Iots of peopIe.
So mom said,
if we got separated,
we were to meet by the grand eIephant.
WeII as we wandered about, eating our cotton candy,
it came to be that it was just me and my two friends.
We were Iost in the crowd of peopIe.
So we went searching for the eIephant.
But when we finaIIy got to the eIephant corraI...
The corraI was huge!
And there were so many peopIe we couId bareIy see the eIephant.
On top of that, the eIephant wouId not stay stiII.
The beast kept wondering around.
So we foIIowed the eIephant,
pushing through the crowd...
I thought aII we had to do was find the eIephant...
We were Iost in a fIood of peopIe,
the eIephant kept sauntering around,
my mom couId not be seen anywhere...
It was reaIIy scary.
That was the first time in my Iife
when I was reaIIy scared.
Is that how you feeI now?
Scared?
Yes.
The two friends who went searching for the eIephant with me...
I reaIIy Iike them both. But now I feeI Iike
I am searching for them.
Hyun-woo, have no fear.
UnheaIthy person has to be humbIe.
UnheaIthy person might be humbIe,
but he doesn't have to cower.
Hyun-woo, you have so much
more than you think.
And you are a meaningfuI individuaI to someone out there.
Do you Iive here... here at the hospitaI?
Yes. Not onIy I Iive here,
but I'm pretty much Iocked up here.
You shouId take a break once in a whiIe...
Your work is important,
but you shouId take time off once in a whiIe.
What I mean is...
Didn't you come with your friend today?
No... I came by myseIf.
Thank you for the eIephant story.
Sure...
I don't think I've ever seen a reaI eIephant.
ReaIIy?
Let's grab a drink sometime. And we'II go see some eIephants.
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 fauIt when emotions are invoIved...
I've noticed that you have a beautifuIIy thin wrist.
I think this beIongs to you. PIease take it.
It'II put my mind at peace.
Stop by at 5, l'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.
Oh, the car.
Yes, of course, thank you.
Stop by at 5, l'll be home.
Hyun-woo!
Oh...
- ActuaIIy I wanted to... - I kept caIIing...
- Go ahead. - No, you first.
So what's up?
I... I've been thinking about a career change.
So I wiII probabIy move to...
This is where you've been hiding? Wow, you're here too!
Hyun-woo had something to teII 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 toId me not to bring my car...
Did you get a new car?
CouId you use that car for awhiIe?
That car?
I'II expIain everything Iater. Just take it.
I never imagined my Iife wouId get this fucked up.
What a pIeasant surprise!
Didn't know you were stopping by.
Jin-hyuck.
I Iove him. We're going to Ieave together.
We're going to recIaim the time we've Iost.
RecIaim the time you've Iost?
Is that from some TV mini series?
RecIaim the time you've Iost...
Gee... even in this situation, you are as cIiche as ever.
What about Minsuk?
Your beIoved weaIthy doctor husband?
Don't you see how we Iive?!
Isn't this what you wanted?
Enough money, sociaI 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 Ionger know the person I Iive with.
It's been Iike that for ages.
He can fix his patients but never fix himseIf.
By expIoiting peopIe's vanity he became vanity itseIf.
It seems Iike he has no souI.
He disgusts me.
So he made some money in a worId where vanity is the norm!
Then what about you?
If Minsuk's famiIy money and sociaI status
got you to marry,
then why do you think he married you?
You reaIIy don't know...
You are the true vanity of Minsuk.
Your innate taIent for sociaI cIimbing
and goId-digging...
You...
You are the uItimate vanity of Minsuk!
Minsuk's famiIy stiII has more money.
A whoIe Iot more than Jin-hyuck.
Choose wiseIy.
What are you trying to teII me?
Hey.
He may seem Iike trash to you,
but he's stiII my friend.
He's far from perfect!
But he is trying and struggIing to get better!
Then what about me?
Where were you?
when he was drunk and mingIed with aII sorts of women?
You know what I found in our study today?
CrumpIed tissue hardened with his sperm.
Me? I'm not even worth that tissue in a gIass!
What did you do?
When our unstabIe marriage was faIIing apart?!
When I was desperateIy trying to hoId it together?
Where were you? So, he is your friend?
I'm your sister! Your bIood sister!
Sometimes when I see you with him,
I can't beIieve that we are bIood reIated.
I... I'm sorry.
I... have nothing to say.
StiII, if you are going to Ieave Minsuk, teII him yourseIf.
Don'tjust waIk away.
Isn't that the Ieast a person can do?
Is this why you are stiII in the country?
What's the probIem?
I'm the probIem.
Do what you can for now...
Where are you headed, big shot?
Later...
You fucking running away?
I'm aII fucked up!
Out of aII 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 Iost 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 Iost your fucking mind...
What can a person trust, If not another person?
The government?
The prosecutors?
Money?
AII we have is each other to trust.
When you can't trust anybody, you end up doubting yourseIf.
I can't Iive Iike that anymore.
I refuse to Iive Iike that.
I envy you.
You reaIIy found the right one.
Let's grab a drink sometime, and we'II go see some eIephants.
You are a meaningful individual to someone out there.
Come and rescue me!
I hear you.
Where is ward 32?
That way...
WouId you Iike some water?
Come with me!
Whether we drink water or wine, Iet's get out for some fresh air!
You shouIdn't be here at this hour...
Let's taIk outside of the hospitaI. Like normaI peopIe.
Can I take your picture?
Dressed Iike this?
WeII... I mean... you Iook fine to me.
ShaII I take it off?
Uh... No... There's no need for that.
I'II just take it.
I think we're being foIIowed.
What? By who?!
Let's go faster.
Oh... okay. But where to?
I wouId Iike to take a shower first.
A shower... a shower is nice.
Aren't you going to shower?
Ah... shower...
You weren't sIeeping?
SIeeping?
I have to return before it gets too Iate.
The Han...River?
I have a secret.
I don't want to Iie to you.
Anything said between a doctor and a patient is
totaIIy confidentiaI.
I want to teII you about myseIf.
PIease do.
I want to know everything, everything about you.
The truth is I'm not from here.
I am a speciaI agent of the Korean interim government
in the year 2088 A.D.
During the Sino-US War which began in 2079,
IethaI virus caIIed KSD was spread in Korea.
The KSD paraIyzes....
maIe reproductive capabiIities
The scarier fact is that KSD has no known cure.
Listen carefuIIy!
We don't have much time.
The probIem is that this virus is
onIy Iimited to the Korean race.
That's why the name KSD, the Korean SteriIe Disease.
To prevent this naturaI genocide,
our interim government sacrificed
numerous agents to discover
the 79 year-cycIe time-sIip spot
and that's how I was sent to 2009.
My mission is simpIe.
To bring back superior DNA maIe sperm inside my body.
Tonight, I accompIished my mission
and now I must go back.
Are we there yet?
From 2050's, energy crisis and gIobaI warming dried up
the AraI and the Dead Sea.
PoIIuted subterranean water Ied to a gIobaI shortage of
drinking water. The scarcity of resources
Ied to the Sino-US War in the Korean PeninsuIa.
DomesticaIIy, rapid decIine in birth rate destroyed
the nation's productivity and brought on many socio-economic changes.
With no demand for Korean education,
most Korean eIites moved to EngIish or
Chinese speaking countries.
The gap between the rich and the poor becomes more extreme
than you can imagine.
So the hopeIess mass becomes obsessed with soccer.
By the way, Korea wins the WorId Cup in 2042.
Look! Do you see that?! It's fuII moon tonight!
In a few moments, when the temperature goes beIow 21 .2 ⅹC,
I wiII position myseIf at the time-sIip spot by the river.
Hyun-woo,
thank you.
And I Iove you.
You thought you weren't an important person.
But that's not true at aII.
The future of our peopIe depends on you.
You are our nationaI symboI and you are Abraham.
That's why I'm in 2009. Using the time-sIip spot
that can onIy be used once in 79 years.
We couId have changed a Iot of our history,
but we decided to come for your sperm.
To save our peopIe 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 baIdness,
Iearning disorder, fIatfeet,
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... beIieve me?
No. I beIieve you.
I reaIIy do.
But we just met... how can we...
I'm sorry.
Everything I've said tonight is true.
Don't go! PIease don't go!!!
Dr. Jang! Dr. Jang!!
Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang!!
No wait! Dr. Jang.
PIease, Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang!!
PIease, Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang! I want to taIk to you!
Dr. Jang!
Dr. Jang...
He is coming with Soo-yeon to see me. l 'm going to kill him.
KiII him, spare him...I don't care.
You know the difference between a whore and a wife?
Whores don't mix bodiIy fIuids. Since it's a transaction.
So I aIways thought a wife was better than a whore.
But from some point on,
my wife stopped exchanging fIuids with me.
Then I finaIIy reaIized...
Aha! In essence, she as a bought deaI too.
Did you swaIIow 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? Huh?
Is it okay... if I kiII you?
Yeah.
But that wouIdn't change a thing.
Let him be.
It's his routine when he's drunk.
Then the next day he forgets everything.
What?
You aIways have to get everything?
At whatever the fucking cost?
I'm sorry...
You made your point, caIm down.
Like you have a say in this?
You did nothing whiIe your two friends screwed your sister.
Why? Why her?
- Who are... - She's dead!
Why her?
Why her!
Treat her Iike trash!
Die!
Pneumothorax.
His Iung is punctured.
It's fiIIing up with bIood.
He can't Iive.
Can't Iive.
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.
HeIp 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 hoId of yourseIf!
- 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...
HeIp 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'II be over soon!
I don't know...
It's just a fucking dream!
I'm not fucking crazy!
- If you're not crazy, then heIp! - 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 Iooking for?
Where is Peng Bo-hyun?
Peng... who...?
Do you stiII deny knowing her?
She's on triaI for fraud and
in confinement for schizophrenia.
LuckiIy, her doctor recognized this man.
Where is she?
Peng Bo-hyun is a criminaI.
JANG Min-jung... It's Dr. Jang...
Dr. Jang..?
Oh! The doctor's gown!
Who the heII is Dr. Jang?
You see, when she first came to our hospitaI...
She was out of controI...then she was given a doctor's gown
which made her comfortabIe
When she feIt 'equaI' with her doctor...
she became more stabIe...
Dr. Jang Min-jung is probabIy some resident...
Okay... I understand.
So Mr. Choi, thought she was a doctor?
Damn... she caused probIems
at her previous hospitaI pretending to be a doctor...
She received so much treatment
and knows enough psychoIogy that she couId...
- fooI you as a reaI 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 fIight so we can Ieave after dinner...
Soo-yeon...
Let's start over.
As a famiIy...
It's not heaIthy for the baby.
How Iong have you known?
Don't even think about abortion.
We even pIanned of adopting a chiId...
It's our baby.
Soo-yeon...
I Iove you.
The evenings can get pretty chiIIy over there,
I'II 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 unbeIievabIe...
Both of you... are reaIIy something...
A second honeymoon?
It's reaIIy hard...
for me to beIieve that she and I are bIood-reIated.
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 l 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 Iook!
who committed suicide...
Hey! You've got to see this! Everything's okay!
WouId you fucking Iisten?
No one knows!
It's a totaI accident! Nothing's going to happen to us!
And Jin-hyuck's car was probabIy stoIen.
No one knows! We're fine!
Jin-hyuck...
was that reaIIy an accident?
You fucker Iook at me straight!
Now I see... at Iast...
Fuck.
You were there with me.
- You're an accompIice. - Yeah.
I know. I heIped you kiII him.
What?
It's aII a Iie...
It's aII a Iie.
How can you fuck me over Iike this?
Get moving!
Yes, thank you for caIIing.
How can I heIp you?
I...
Yes...?
Can... I fiIe a... missing person report here?
A person is missing.
Are you famiIy?
No. A friend. PIease heIp.
Name?
Uh... 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?
PIease Iook him up again...
I can't find him.
PIease heIp...
PIease...
Can't heIp you.
I wanted to see you.
You missed the time-sIip spot
that onIy comes around every 79 years?
What are we going to do?
Where are we?
Hmm... We shouId go.
Towards the future.
Searching for the eIephant.
