Save the Green Planet! (2003) Movie Script
1
You may think I'm crazy.
At first,
I couldn't believe it either.
I thought these things
only happened in the movies.
Those conniving bastards!
They're the ones
who made all those movies.
And now, no one will believe me.
- I believe you, sweetie...
- No!
If you watch this,
you'll think I'm crazy, too.
No, sweetie, you're not crazy.
Do you really want to see this?
You're not crazy.
Name: Kang Man-shik.
Age: 45.
Chairman of Yuje Chemicals.
That's him.
He's their supreme leader.
I'm positive.
He's the only one possessing
the royal symbiotic genes.
A reasonably flashy job.
A vapid gold digger of a wife.
A couple of wretched little brats.
It's nothing but an elaborate front
to hide his real identity.
Deceitful cunt.
He hides himself under the guise
of a respectable man,
but under that skin
lies his harrowing true face.
He happens to be an alien
from Andromeda's PK-45!
But something's fishy.
Recent contacts with his dirty ilk
have increased,
and the meetings have been longer.
It's the proof that they're in a hurry.
At the next lunar eclipse,
the alien prince will come
from Andromeda.
There's no more time to waste.
Before that happens,
we must get our hands on that bastard.
If we let this slide,
a massive catastrophe awaits us.
There will be no survivors.
None.
There's no one else.
We must save the planet.
Why are you crying?
I'm so scared, sweetie.
Sooni!
Sweetie!
PLANET EARTH, SOLAR SYSTEM
SEVEN DAYS BEFORE
THE LUNAR ECLIPSE
ROYAL CLASS PARKING
Sir?
Sir, we're here. Time to get up.
Yes, come on.
Sir, are you all right?
How much did you drink?
Sir, this is the place, right?
Huh?
Oh! Right! Indeed!
This is my place.
It's all mine, huh?
- I see...
- I built it all myself!
- Yes. That's remarkable.
- Well done.
- Thank you, sir. Yes.
- You may go.
But, sir, sir?
You forgot to pay me.
That'll be 40,000 won.
- Here.
- Thank you, sir!
Sir? Sir?
This is just 20,000 won.
Who the hell charges 40,000 won
for a ten-minute drive, punk?
I drove around for half an hour,
and it's a fixed rate anyway...
That's because
you were wandering about!
Know how much
that does to the gallon?
That's because you kept
changing your mind!
Shut up!
Get out of my face.
And if you want to keep working here,
stop acting like this with me!
Fucking prick.
Petty little shit.
All this fuss over 20,000 won.
Anyhow...
I'm surrounded by morons
trying to fleece me for cash.
What the hell is wrong
with my usual driver?
Does his mother really need
to have a birthday every year?
Sir? Mr Kang?
What else do you want?
Sir...
Aren't you Mr Kang Man-shik?
That's right.
But who are you?
Don't you know?
We're from the same town.
But I'm from Seoul...
What same town?
No, I mean...
don't you come from Andromeda?
Say what?
Don't you come...
...from Andromeda?
You filthy alien scum!
Oh, God!
Somebody help me!
Help...
Help me!
Now what, sweetie?
STARRING SHIN HA-KYUN
PAEK YOON-SIK
DIRECTED BY JANG JOON-HWAN
KANG MAN-SHIK
This one's perfect.
He's not like the others.
Not a single flaw.
Sweetie, he really looks
like an alien now.
He doesn't only look like one,
he really is an alien!
But why did you shave his hair?
Those bastards use hair
to exchange telepathic signals.
In other words, they're like antennae
on top of broadcasting stations.
- Sweetie, looks like he's woken up.
- He's awake?
I knew it! He's no ordinary specimen.
Don't, it's dangerous!
What are you doing?
I told you to never take it off!
Are you crazy?
Sweetie...
Sooni...
His telepathy is still strong.
Even from that distance,
you could be hit in a moment.
Sweetie... I'm sorry.
I'll never do it again.
That's right.
We can't let our guard down.
Especially with that bastard.
Sweetie... do we really need
to keep this on, then?
Wearing it gives me such a headache.
Just a little longer.
Once we've weakened
his nervous system,
then you can take it off.
Really? How will you do that?
MENTHOL RUB
Strangely enough, their genetic structure
is almost the same as ours.
But our nervous systems
differ substantially.
So, when exposed to this menthol rub's
Chloropheniramine maleate,
their Transchrisantemate
neurotransmitters react
by ultimately breaking down
into Ttaltalin and Resmetrin...
...which eventually renders them
absolutely powerless.
- Can I just rub it anywhere?
- No.
Their bodies have three weak spots.
Three spots?
Eyes.
Feet.
And... and...
And...
Let's start with his feet.
Do I just rub it?
No. To speed up absorption,
we'll scrape off some skin first.
- That should do it.
- How about here?
Did I scrape too much?
No, it's fine.
Sweetie, it seems to be working!
Spread it evenly.
Sweetie!
Breakfast is ready!
This is YTN News at Nine.
Here's our first item.
Son-in-law of the police chief
and Yuje Chemicals chairman
Kang Man-shik
reportedly went missing yesterday,
prompting an investigation.
The authorities determined that
since his car was missing as well,
Kang might have been abducted,
and are now concentrating
on his close acquaintances.
Police have also summoned
a man for questioning,
who was driving Kang's car
before his disappearance,
and are investigating Kang's movements
leading up to the incident.
In other news, last night at 8:00pm,
on the Gangbyeon Expressway...
Oh, my! Detective Chu!
What brings you here?
Have you picked up
the smell of money again?
I suggest you don't bother
meddling in our business.
Assuming you still care
about your badge.
Deranged loser.
Search everywhere.
Don't even miss a hair!
Don't bother with this crap,
find me some evidence!
Sergeant Chu! Sergeant Chu!
It's you, right?
Wow! Even in person,
you're as scruffy as they say.
You found something, didn't you?
You're not the type who backs down.
I don't know who you are,
but get out of my face.
Getting mixed up with me
won't do you any good.
I know that the last bribery case
was a setup, they framed you.
Must be that fucker...
Huh?
Are you that fucker who became a cop
after graduating from SNU?
Yes, sir. I'm Kim Seong-hyeok,
new recruit in the Violent Crimes Unit.
Go easy on me, sir.
After all, I'm a huge fan of yours.
I was still in middle school
when you caught that serial killer
by smelling his shit.
- Ever since then...
- So? Do you want an autograph?
This case intrigues you, doesn't it?
I'd like to help.
Never accepted any of that fucking shit.
Don't want that autograph? Then, get lost.
Aren't you going
to keep investigating, anyway?
Surely Chief Lee won't be
happy about that.
- What, are you blackmailing me?
- No.
Just offering you my help.
I became a detective thanks to you.
It's a type of methamphetamine
called Intenz.
Used for severe cases
of depression and resentment.
In other words, hospital-grade meth.
Have three of these,
and the world will feel all yours.
Mix them with booze,
and you'll be in heaven.
There wasn't much evidence,
but this could be an important clue.
Really?
It only takes five seconds to kick in.
Then, I'll look into the hospitals
that use it.
And then, what?
You're gonna track down
every last psycho who uses Intenz?
Can't you smell it?
This is no ordinary psycho.
You think he'd bother getting
prescriptions?
So you think they're stolen.
Aren't you jumping
to conclusions too easily?
Assuming that the culprit
who had those drugs is a bit...
Care to take a guess
what my chances of winning are?
Fifty per cent.
I'll either win or I won't.
He's either the culprit...
...or not.
Keep it simple.
Your chances are always fifty-fifty.
GORYEO PHARMACY
You little...
Hey, you bastard.
Come on! Come get some!
It's because of people like you
that Earth is in danger.
Because of people like you,
those alien bastards
are looking down on us, got it?
Yeah, I got it.
Why isn't this idiot answering me?
Why are you buying so many of these?
Did they beat you up again?
It's for bee stings.
They must be fucking hammering you!
There's just no easy way.
Beekeeping kind of intrigued me.
Hey.
Hey.
Listen, loser, do you enjoy
ignoring me that much?
How could you give people
the cold shoulder like that?
A friend you went to school with,
and even worked together with,
shows up after a few years
and you don't even acknowledge him?
That's basic etiquette,
you fucking loser!
Yeah, well... it's great to see you.
Great, my arse!
You'll be seeing me a lot more often.
Fucking "restructuring" shit.
They fired me last week.
Hey, loser.
Be careful.
I don't know what you're scheming up
in the mountains,
but I'm watching you.
- Got it?
- Yeah... yeah.
Go on, get lost.
What's the matter?
- Who's that?
- A fucking dick.
Seeing that loser
has always riled me up.
Have you bought them?
Wow!
Wow...
Funny, isn't it?
A guy like me doing this.
As if I had a life.
But soon things will change.
People will find out who saved us all.
They'll find out who the real hero was.
You people...
what's wrong with you?
Where am I?
You despicable phoney.
Spare me the act.
I know everything already.
Know what?
I know everything.
Why you came here
all the way from Andromeda,
what you and your dirty ilk
are scheming.
What you've done to my mother!
And that your real name is...
Even that! I know it all!
I know everything!
Why? Are you surprised?
Then, imagine when your prince
will be beside you.
- Prince?
- That's right.
You're the only one capable
of communicating telepathically with him.
The only one
with the royal symbiotic genes!
Royal... what?
Just let me meet him.
I'll handle all the rest.
What the hell are you on about?
What's Andromeda,
and who's this prince?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Right...
So you don't know?
Then, I'll help you remember.
Your ilk is quite resistant to electricity,
as you know.
It would take a mere 100 volts to kill us,
but you're different.
You could withstand 200 volts
for an hour.
Sooni?
Turn it up.
- Higher.
- Sweetie...
Higher!
You're all the same.
First, you stubbornly insist
you know nothing.
But eventually you all confess.
The thing about pain...
...is that you never really
get used to it.
What's wrong with you?
What are you people doing?
Do you know who I am?
Are you aware
of who you're messing with?
Of course...
- I know you well.
- What do you want?
Is it money? I can give you
all the money you want!
I even have secret accounts,
so any cash I give you
will be untraceable!
Money?
Money.
Money?
You think I'm in it for the money?
Does it look like I care about money,
you filthy alien scum?
He must be doing it for the money.
That's the Jecheon branch.
Two minutes and he was gone.
- How much did he withdraw?
- Four million won.
That's it?
So he kidnapped the chairman
of Yuje Chemicals for a mere four million?
Maybe he went for quick cash.
Or maybe he'll make
several small withdrawals?
Is he a genius or just crazy?
I can't really figure it out.
What does our rising star think?
I'm not sure.
Don't block the cards.
And focus. If the chief's daughter
becomes a widow, it's over. Got it?
Yes, sir.
Wait.
- Rewind it a bit.
- Yes.
There. Play it again from there.
- Can you darken it?
- Yes.
A bit more.
Stop!
Zoom in as much as possible.
Focus on this number plate.
- Can it be done?
- Yes.
We might be able
to salvage a few numbers.
Well, our rising star lives up
to the hype!
I want a report.
Start working right away.
STOCK MANIPULATION,
"I KNOW NOTHING"
CLEARED OF CHARGES
BEFORE INDICTMENSUSPICIOUS ACQUITTAL
JUST A COVER-UP?
CAUGHT WITH A TOP MODEL
Mackerel tomorrow, is it?
Braised or fried?
I prefer it braised.
I thought I made myself clear.
Hanging out with losers...
A list of hospitals that
reported stolen drugs.
You're really hell-bent
on ruining your life.
It may turn out to be
an easy catch, though.
He was caught whilst withdrawing
four million with Kang's card.
I told you to keep it simple,
but you've turned stupid.
When they teach you something,
put it to good use.
Do you know how hard it is
to kidnap a rich bastard like him?
Maybe it's all the crimes they commit,
but they're glorified recluses.
They hardly ever venture out
of their territory.
The fact he took advantage of an outing
means that he was watching him.
He invested a shitload
of time and effort into this.
So suddenly he'd just appear
on camera like that,
as if it were a fashion show?
And for four million?
The deranged psycho
I've been looking for is not that dumb.
MISSING PERSON
SHIN IK-TAE
You think these cases are the work
of the same perpetrator?
Just a hunch.
They all smell the same to me.
That's a gift.
Let's see if you can catch him.
Oh, my! You're making me jealous.
Since when have you two
been dating behind my back?
So it was true after all.
Big hopes lead to big disappointments.
Look at this...
Who could've imagined
that the mighty Detective Chu
would end up dragging kids into this?
I guess you're fed up with cooking.
Earth... why have you barely
touched your food?
Is it because there's no alien meat?
Hang in there.
I'll cook you something tasty later.
EARTH'S HOUSE
Sweetie!
See? You're still alive.
What did I say?
I knew you were an alien.
There.
- Let's talk about the prince...
- Now I remember you.
Do you know what my IQ is?
Think I'd forget someone like you?
You're that fool
who threw eggs at me!
What was your name again...?
Lee Byung-goo?
You used to work
at the Gangneung factory, right?
Why are you doing this?
Is this because of your mother?
You were compensated!
I gave you plenty of money!
But what do you want now?
What else do you want from me?
Or is this because of your girlfriend?
Is it my fault that she died?
Was I the one who killed her,
you deranged fool?
Where the hell are you going?
Untie me right now!
I'll make you pay for this!
Come back here!
Come here, you demented cunt!
- Sweetie...
- Let go!
Sweetie...
That conniving alien scum.
No!
Remember, Mum?
Those little umbrellas
you used to make.
I'd walk around with them when it rained,
and I'd get all wet.
Don't you remember?
I know it's hard, Byung-goo.
But you need to be strong.
There's no one else but you.
You're the only one
who can save Earth.
Mum!
Sooni!
Sooni!
FIVE MINUTES LATER
I feel weird.
It won't stop.
Sooni, do you think
I'm an alien as well?
Byung-goo is completely
out of his mind. He's gone insane.
He's gone crazy
after watching all those films.
Come on, you know that, too.
Right?
You have to help me out.
This violence has to stop, Sooni.
I miss my kids.
Sooni, don't do it! Come here.
Come here and let me go!
Byung-goo doesn't love you!
He loved someone else!
He's doing all this
to avenge her death!
Byung-goo is only using you!
He doesn't love you!
You're being fooled!
Sooni?
What's up?
Sooni?
Sweetie, do you...?
Yeah, tell me.
Sweetie, do you really... love me?
Sooni, I...
I...
Have a drink. It's what everyone
does after a breakup.
Drink.
It'll ease the pain.
What did you say to Sooni?
Does your telepathy still work?
What are you talking about?
Who said anything?
All the better!
It's better this way.
It must have been hard
to endure for her.
She was too sensitive for this.
THREE DAYS BEFORE
THE LUNAR ECLIPSE
DONGSEONG HOSPITAL
YEONGDONG HOSPITAL
Don't even get me started.
We all almost got sacked.
Twenty million's worth of expensive
Class 1 restricted drugs disappeared,
and all hell broke loose!
In the end, the operations manager
had to resign.
- When did this happen, exactly?
- Let's see.
It was around this time
five years ago.
Are any of the patients here
connected to Yuje Chemicals?
Or any employees of the company?
She's been like that for five years.
She's basically a vegetable.
- What's her condition?
- Good question. I don't really know.
Looks like some kind of addiction,
but even the doctors aren't sure.
Any details about her guardian?
Anyhow, she's on life support.
He refuses to take her off it.
It's been going on for five years already.
Oh, my, he was late again
with the payment. Look at this.
A June 28th bill
for 3.77 million won, paid in full.
Wow... talk about a devoted son.
Where do you see kids like that?
JUNE 27
4 MILLION WITHDRAWAL
What's wrong with your face?
- What else are you scheming?
- Scheming, my arse!
I can barely breathe.
I'm dying in here!
Don't worry. You won't die.
I know better than anyone
how resilient your ilk is.
This one will end up inside your guts.
Even the toughest bastard
won't endure it for an hour.
It's too bad it'll mess you up a little,
but it can't be helped.
- The eclipse is almost upon us.
- It'll be useless, anyway!
You can't beat me.
Want to know why?
Because dipshits like you
never get the better of me.
I know your type quite well.
You spend your entire lives blaming others
whilst acting like arrogant cunts.
You're still afraid of me, aren't you?
You can't even come close to me
without your pills.
Cowards like you are bound to fail.
So stop acting like a lunatic and give up.
Before things get any uglier.
The way I see it,
you're the one who's going crazy.
Running your mouth off
without knowing you're in deep shit.
I guess you still haven't figured out
where I'll stick this.
You can't beat me,
you demented fucker!
You fucking bastard!
Know how much trouble I go through
because of fuckers like you?
Worthless little cunts!
How dare you?
Huh? Think I'd just let you
walk all over me? Huh?
Tell me! Come on!
Tell me, you bastard!
If I can't get out, neither can you!
You're trapped!
Help me!
Help! Help me!
Help me!
Someone help me, please!
Help me!
Please! Help me!
I'm in here!
Please help me!
Somebody help me!
I'm in here!
Help me!
Die, you demented freak!
What is it? Are you speechless
after being tricked by a "freak" like me?
You still don't get it?
No one will come to rescue you here.
Anybody home?
Anyone home?
Anybody home?
Is anyone here?
- Who are you?
- Ah... right.
I'm a detective.
What brings you here?
Ah, you know...
I was wondering
if I could possibly stay the night.
I was on patrol looking for poachers,
but I've only realised now
how late it is.
I think it might be too late to head back,
so if by any chance...
I mean, you know...
The police station down in the village
told me about this place.
If I'm not disturbing you,
I'd like to spend the night here.
Oh, come on! Disturbing me?
I'm glad you came, sir.
Besides, it's getting dark,
so heading back now wouldn't be wise.
Come on in.
I've had other people stay the night
from time to time.
This mountain is so rugged
that one day is not enough to see it all.
What a nice house.
Oh, I'd love to call it quits
and come live in a place like this.
- Mind if I take a look around?
- Oh, of course.
- So I hear you built it yourself.
- Yes.
It's been five years,
but it's not finished yet.
Down at the village,
they call it "The Bathhouse".
Oh, that?
Back in the day,
when the old mine was operating,
this was the bathhouse
for the miners.
You're standing right on top of it.
You built a home
on top of a bathhouse?
Yes. To use it as a workshop.
I sell mannequins, both as a hobby
and as a side business.
Oh! I thought they produced them
in factories.
Most people think that,
but mannequins are actually handmade.
Oh, is that right?
Do you want to see my workshop?
We can go down from here.
There's even a secret passage.
No. Maybe next time.
Look, a UFO!
What, a UFO?
Where? Where is it?
Where's this UFO?
- It's already gone.
- Huh?
Here.
So, what, you put glue
on the factory manager's dick?
Yes! It was super glue.
I glued it to his belly
whilst he was sleeping in the staff room.
Now I laugh about it,
but things got pretty serious back then.
I was so angry.
I bet, given what happened
to your mother.
I was really furious.
I wanted to kill them all.
But for some reason,
all that rage...
...actually made me hungry.
So I ate like crazy until I threw up,
and then got hungry again...
So you kept eating and throwing up,
and once you'd thrown up all the bile
and the blood, you calmed down a little.
Just a little.
So that you wouldn't want to die.
Life's such a fucking drag.
I'm in a drinking mood tonight.
Let me do that.
But what are all those?
Do you believe in aliens,
Detective Chu?
Aliens?
Actually,
I've been researching aliens.
It's the reason
why I came to live here.
What, like in the movies,
where aliens try to attack the planet?
Aliens are not such aggressive beings.
Our ignorance is to blame
for all the fear we feel toward them.
What aliens actually bring us
is a message of redemption.
They're striving to awaken us
so that we'll become a more evolved
and righteous species.
You have to read this.
Had I not discovered it,
I would've forever lived in anger.
THE PATH TO A COSMIC HUMAN
THE ALIENS' MESSAGES
OF PEACE AND LOVE
Freeze!
Detective Chu? What's wrong?
Ah, you know...
...I heard some noises.
You scared me.
I guess I was a little too loud.
I couldn't sleep.
What's that?
Ah... this one?
- It's a radio transmitter.
- A transmitter?
Yes, so I can send our message
to the aliens.
Ah! That...
I see... A message?
Sorry if I woke you up.
No, I'm the one
who should apologise.
Yeah, well, I think
I should wrap this up for today.
- Go back to bed.
- Yeah.
YEONGDONG HOSPITAL
Have some breakfast
before you leave. It's ready.
No, I need to head back.
Looks like it's going to rain again.
- You'll come back, though, right?
- Huh?
Oh, no.
I guess the word got out.
I came here expecting poachers
everywhere, but I only wasted my time.
Well, next time
you're in the area, drop by.
Yeah. You take care, huh?
And look after your mother.
Yes.
You take care as well,
Detective Chu.
You little...
Oh, boy, really...
Detective Chu! Wait a moment!
You forgot this.
You must read it.
Sure. Thanks.
- Something's burning in there. Go in.
- Yes. Goodbye, then.
Aliens?
Aliens, he says. Aliens.
I... got you!
Hello?
Hello?
It's me, Chu Sang-cheol.
Chu Sang-cheol!
Hey, a fan of mine doesn't even
recognise my voice?
Call Director Cho and request backup,
but make sure Chief Lee doesn't find out.
Is that clear?
Yeah. I caught that crazy freak.
Here in Wolsan, Gangwon Province.
Hello? Hello?
For fuck's sake.
Hello, Detective?
Where in Gangwon Province?
Detective? Detective!
I see you still haven't left.
Oh, right...
Have you had breakfast?
I'm feeding the bees.
It's the rainy season,
and they haven't been eating at all.
I'd heard they feed them sugar water
during the monsoons.
No.
I don't give them sugar water,
that would be deceiving them.
It's despicable.
Oh... you think so?
Freeze! Hands up!
What's the matter?
I haven't done anything.
- I just wanted to feed the bees.
- Shut the fuck up!
Where's Chairman Kang, huh?
You're all the same.
You're just like everyone else.
Spread your legs
and put your hands up! Now!
What the fuck?
Away! Go away!
What, you want me
to go find Chu Sang-cheol?
Chief, Detective Chu called me.
- He said he'd found the culprit...
- Shut it! I've had it with you.
Detective Seo, looks like
our rising star needs his desk cleared.
Yes, sir.
Chief, we received details
about the number plate.
- You got the results?
- X TAEBAEK X 2X8X
- Send out an APB and start searching.
- Yes, sir.
- Detective Seo, you'll move to the HQ.
- Yes, sir.
Don't worry about Chu.
You can take his place in the kitchen.
Must have been a nice dream.
Did you dream of conquering Earth?
What the...?
I've used an anaesthetic!
It won't hurt!
Stop making such a fuss.
It's far from over.
What are you doing?
Destroying all your hopes.
You'll never escape from this place.
Don't! Don't! Please!
You're right! I'm an alien!
I'm an alien from Andromeda!
Who said you weren't?
Clench your teeth.
I ran out of anaesthetic,
so I skipped the legs.
Your mother! Your mother!
I can save your mother!
She can be saved.
I mean it. There's a way.
You'd better not be making things up.
If you still care about your arms.
Right now, your mother's in a coma,
but her body's undergoing huge changes.
I know!
But what kind of changes?
Her entire genetic code
is being rearranged.
Your mother was the first trial subject.
It's a crucial experiment
that will take at least five years.
We're waiting for the outcome.
If the experiment succeeds,
your mother will wake up.
And if it fails?
She'll die.
But if we stop the trial,
she still can live!
- How?
- There's a brown bottle in my car boot.
It says "Benzene" on it,
but it's actually an antidote.
Have her drink that.
So you'd suddenly give up
on such a "crucial" experiment?
Because of one leg?
There are other test subjects
all over the world.
You wicked bastards.
The trial will end soon.
There's no time, you must hurry.
Still... you have to be punished
for trying to escape.
I don't care about the rest of them.
If my mother dies,
you're a dead man.
I've been anaesthetised.
It won't hurt.
I've been anaesthetised.
It won't hurt, it won't hurt.

Chief, it's Detective Kim.
I found him. I know who the culprit is!
Name's Lee Byung-goo.
Former factory worker in Gangneung.
He has ties to the missing cases.
Shin Ik-tae from '96 was his teacher.
Ji Sang-cheol from '97 was a warden
when he was in juvie.
And Son Gi-moon from last year
was a plant manager at Yuje...
- Let's wrap this up quickly.
- Hello? Can you hear me?
Chief Lee? Chief Lee!
Right. So you caught the culprit?
That's kind of weird,
because we already caught him.
- What?
- We caught him.
It's some nutjob factory worker
who got sacked.
So forget about the case,
and start working on your cooking skills.
Chief! Chief Lee!
What's wrong with you?
- What the fuck did I do?
- What are you doing? Hold him!

Lee Byung-goo...
It's that bastard's fault.
He killed her.
I know. I know everything.
But now it's all over.
Put the gun down. Now!
- Sweetie!
- Sooni.
Get down!
Drop the gun!
I'll count to three.

What do I do now, sweetie?
Why...
Why won't you leave me alone?
Why?
Why?
Why?
The prince is coming.
The prince!
Then it'll all be over.
Think you'll be safe?
If it rains,
Mum's body will get all wet.
Then? What will you do?
Let's hear it!
So you know?
You know everything?
Yeah, I suppose that's possible.
Since it's the same old story.
But if you knew, where were you...
...when I was going crazy?
You people are even worse.
It's you who killed her.
You killed everyone.
Enough!
Enough with the act,
you demented fucking freak!
You're just like them!
You'll save the planet?
For whom? For what reason?
Will killing everyone who tormented you
save the planet? Will it?
Out of all the people you killed,
how many aliens were there?
Tell me!
How many of them
were actual Andromedans?
DEAD
NOT AN ALIEN
NOT AN ALIEN,
NOT AN ALIEN, NOT AN ALIEN
There were only two! Two!
The rest were people
who you had a grudge against!
Fine, you win.
I'll tell you everything.
There's no time.
Enough bullshit!
- What are you scheming...?
- Listen!
I'll tell you why our DNA structures
are so similar,
why we have waited until now,
and what made you so crazy.
I'll tell you everything.
Earth was first discovered
during the reign
of our 75th ancestral king.
His Majesty christened
this beautiful place the Green Planet.
At that time, the planet was
dominated by gigantic reptiles.
But we inadvertently exposed
the Green Planet to a fatal virus,
which immediately spread like wildfire.
Witnessing the extinction
of countless reptiles,
His Majesty felt immense guilt.
And so, he gifted the Green Planet
with a new lifeform...
...an experimental being
made in our image.
The experimental human
adapted well to his surroundings,
and soon began reproducing.
And that is how a colossal civilisation
came into being,
as the wondrous sublimation
of man's harmony with nature.
But at some point, Earthlings began
to dream of strengthening themselves.
They established massive research groups
in order to create a stronger human.
A new, stronger kind of human
began to emerge,
but, with that newfound strength,
came aggressiveness.
War raged on for centuries,
and was only quelled by the explosion
of thousands of atomic bombs.
A hole opened in the sky,
and everything vanished into the tide,
in a matter of moments.
But one visionary had long been
preparing for the apocalypse.
His massive ark, carrying genetic
samples of all living creatures,
settled on a small piece of land
after drifting for thousands of years.
However, the curse of humanity
did not stop there.
As a result of indiscriminate
genetic manipulation,
you humans began
to rapidly devolve.
After a long and heated dispute,
we decided to give you
another chance.
Evolution began anew,
but we soon witnessed
the most unseemly of sights.
Think about it.
You humans are not normal.
You're insane.
No other creature in the universe
enjoys abusing their own like you do.
And it's all because of that gene.
That hostile gene which your ancestors
developed to strengthen themselves,
the same you carried for generations,
getting stronger by the minute.
The suicidal gene we came here
to eliminate in order to save you!
Shut up!
- Enough of the bullshit.
- You gullible fool.
Don't you understand what I said?
You're in danger.
If we don't act, you'll manipulate
your genes again,
and bring about your own destruction.
And this time, there's no turning back,
because even your host is infected.
This beautiful planet is dying
because of you!
That's why you came,
to stop the spread of its parasites.
You're here to kill us all!
That's right.
Many factions amongst us
would rather wipe you out.
But the prince still has hope for you,
which is why he started the experiments.
But why my mother?
Of all people, why my mother?
Pain causes the genetic
binding structure to break down.
The more afflicted the test subject,
the easier it is to change them.
The torment we subjected...
So it was all because
of that fancy experiment of yours?
Yes, but if the experiment succeeds,
everything will change.
We'll wipe out the filthy gene
that's made you insane.
But you failed.
Mum is dead.
My mother is dead!
I told you there were
other test subjects!
Some of them are beginning
to show some changes.
We must show this evidence to the prince,
or his hands will be tied,
and it'll all be over!
You know only a select few communicate
telepathically with the Royals.
Only those with the royal symbiotic gene.
DINOSAURS' EXTINCTION
SECRETS OF ATLANTIS
You sure are skilled at making up things.
But you made one mistake.
It was your 75th ancestral king
who discovered Earth?
The dinosaurs went extinct
70 million years ago!
So you live millions of years?
We only live 150 years at best!
But our planet is 120 times
the Earth's diameter,
and it orbits our sun
over 450 times faster.
Time in the universe is relative.
You still don't know the basics?
1 YEAR 1 MILLION YEARS
I'll let you meet the prince.
We can contact him
from the factory in Gangneung.
No, you're lying.
I'm the only one
who can help you meet him!
- They're all lies!
- We only have four hours left!
Once the eclipse is over,
Earth will be done for!
There's no one else.
You must save the planet.
Don't you dare pull any tricks.
If I press this, we all die.
Everything I know is in there.
If I fail...
...and you end up squaring off
against the aliens...
...it'll come in handy for sure.
You're the only one left
who knows everything.
Earth is now in your hands.

There's no rush.

No need to bother.
You'll meet your prince in the next life.
You're not fooling me anymore.
Are you sure?
Sooni!

Sweetie...

Now we'll die together,

Hands up, motherfucker!
Hands up!
It's him.
Where is he?
Chairman Kang! Chairman Kang!
- What are you doing? Help him up!
- Yes, sir.
Up you get.
Let's go.
Of course, when I get promoted,
I'll have to treat you to a nice dinner.
Yes, yes, of course.
Send us an ambulance, will you?
We have some cleaning up to do here.
Right.
Get in, Chairman.
Sooni.
Mum.
Now I can come to you.
But...
...who will save Earth now?
It's all over, sir.
You can get in.
- You drive him home.
- Yes, sir.
And you wrap things up here
and return with the ambulance.
Right, sir.
WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?
I NEARLY DIED, YOU FUCKER!
MY APOLOGIES, PRINCE.
BUT YOU SAID TO WAIUNTIL YOU CONTACTED US.
YOU USELESS FUCKS!
HOW THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED
TO CONTACT YOU WITH NO HAIR?
EXPERIMENT NUMBER 1786 - FAILED.
EXPERIMENT NUMBER 1787 - FAILED.

Those conniving bastards!
They're the ones

And now, no one will believe me.

You're not crazy.

Chairman of Yuje Chemicals.
That's him.
He's their supreme leader.
I'm positive.
He's the only one possessing
the royal symbiotic genes.
A reasonably flashy job.
A vapid gold digger of a wife.
A couple of wretched little brats.
It's nothing but an elaborate front
to hide his real identity.
Deceitful cunt.
He hides himself under the guise
of a respectable man,
but under that skin
lies his harrowing true face.
He happens to be an alien
from Andromeda's PK-45!
But something's fishy.
Recent contacts with his dirty ilk
have increased,
and the meetings have been longer.
It's the proof that they're in a hurry.
At the next lunar eclipse,
the alien prince will come
from Andromeda.
There's no more time to waste.
Before that happens,
we must get our hands on that bastard.
If we let this slide,
a massive catastrophe awaits us.
There will be no survivors.
None.
There's no one else.
We must save the planet.
Why are you crying?

Sir?
Sir, we're here. Time to get up.
Yes, come on.
Sir, are you all right?
How much did you drink?
Sir, this is the place, right?
Huh?
Oh! Right! Indeed!
This is my place.
It's all mine, huh?
- I see...
- I built it all myself!
- Yes. That's remarkable.
- Well done.
- Thank you, sir. Yes.
- You may go.
But, sir, sir?
You forgot to pay me.
That'll be 40,000 won.
- Here.
- Thank you, sir!
Sir? Sir?
This is just 20,000 won.
Who the hell charges 40,000 won
for a ten-minute drive, punk?
I drove around for half an hour,
and it's a fixed rate anyway...
That's because
you were wandering about!
Know how much
that does to the gallon?
That's because you kept
changing your mind!
Shut up!
Get out of my face.
And if you want to keep working here,
stop acting like this with me!
Fucking prick.
Petty little shit.
All this fuss over 20,000 won.
Anyhow...

This one's perfect.
He's not like the others.
Not a single flaw.
Sweetie, he really looks
like an alien now.
He doesn't only look like one,
he really is an alien!
But why did you shave his hair?
Those bastards use hair
to exchange telepathic signals.
In other words, they're like antennae
on top of broadcasting stations.
- Sweetie, looks like he's woken up.
- He's awake?
I knew it! He's no ordinary specimen.
Don't, it's dangerous!
What are you doing?
I told you to never take it off!
Are you crazy?
Sweetie...
Sooni...
His telepathy is still strong.
Even from that distance,
you could be hit in a moment.
Sweetie... I'm sorry.
I'll never do it again.
That's right.
We can't let our guard down.
Especially with that bastard.
Sweetie... do we really need
to keep this on, then?
Wearing it gives me such a headache.
Just a little longer.
Once we've weakened
his nervous system,
then you can take it off.
Really? How will you do that?
MENTHOL RUB
Strangely enough, their genetic structure
is almost the same as ours.
But our nervous systems
differ substantially.
So, when exposed to this menthol rub's
Chloropheniramine maleate,
their Transchrisantemate
neurotransmitters react
by ultimately breaking down
into Ttaltalin and Resmetrin...
...which eventually renders them
absolutely powerless.
- Can I just rub it anywhere?
- No.
Their bodies have three weak spots.
Three spots?
Eyes.
Feet.
And... and...
And...
Let's start with his feet.
Do I just rub it?
No. To speed up absorption,
we'll scrape off some skin first.
- That should do it.
- How about here?
Did I scrape too much?
No, it's fine.
Sweetie, it seems to be working!
Spread it evenly.
Sweetie!
Breakfast is ready!
This is YTN News at Nine.
Here's our first item.
Son-in-law of the police chief
and Yuje Chemicals chairman
Kang Man-shik
reportedly went missing yesterday,
prompting an investigation.
The authorities determined that
since his car was missing as well,
Kang might have been abducted,
and are now concentrating
on his close acquaintances.
Police have also summoned
a man for questioning,
who was driving Kang's car
before his disappearance,
and are investigating Kang's movements
leading up to the incident.
In other news, last night at 8:00pm,
on the Gangbyeon Expressway...
Oh, my! Detective Chu!
What brings you here?
Have you picked up
the smell of money again?
I suggest you don't bother
meddling in our business.
Assuming you still care
about your badge.
Deranged loser.
Search everywhere.
Don't even miss a hair!
Don't bother with this crap,
find me some evidence!
Sergeant Chu! Sergeant Chu!
It's you, right?
Wow! Even in person,
you're as scruffy as they say.
You found something, didn't you?
You're not the type who backs down.
I don't know who you are,
but get out of my face.
Getting mixed up with me
won't do you any good.
I know that the last bribery case
was a setup, they framed you.
Must be that fucker...
Huh?
Are you that fucker who became a cop
after graduating from SNU?
Yes, sir. I'm Kim Seong-hyeok,
new recruit in the Violent Crimes Unit.
Go easy on me, sir.
After all, I'm a huge fan of yours.
I was still in middle school
when you caught that serial killer
by smelling his shit.
- Ever since then...
- So? Do you want an autograph?
This case intrigues you, doesn't it?
I'd like to help.
Never accepted any of that fucking shit.
Don't want that autograph? Then, get lost.
Aren't you going
to keep investigating, anyway?
Surely Chief Lee won't be
happy about that.
- What, are you blackmailing me?
- No.
Just offering you my help.
I became a detective thanks to you.
It's a type of methamphetamine
called Intenz.
Used for severe cases
of depression and resentment.
In other words, hospital-grade meth.
Have three of these,
and the world will feel all yours.
Mix them with booze,
and you'll be in heaven.
There wasn't much evidence,
but this could be an important clue.
Really?
It only takes five seconds to kick in.
Then, I'll look into the hospitals
that use it.
And then, what?
You're gonna track down
every last psycho who uses Intenz?
Can't you smell it?
This is no ordinary psycho.
You think he'd bother getting
prescriptions?
So you think they're stolen.
Aren't you jumping
to conclusions too easily?
Assuming that the culprit
who had those drugs is a bit...
Care to take a guess
what my chances of winning are?
Fifty per cent.
I'll either win or I won't.
He's either the culprit...
...or not.
Keep it simple.
Your chances are always fifty-fifty.
GORYEO PHARMACY
You little...
Hey, you bastard.
Come on! Come get some!
It's because of people like you
that Earth is in danger.
Because of people like you,
those alien bastards
are looking down on us, got it?
Yeah, I got it.
Why isn't this idiot answering me?
Why are you buying so many of these?
Did they beat you up again?
It's for bee stings.
They must be fucking hammering you!
There's just no easy way.
Beekeeping kind of intrigued me.
Hey.
Hey.
Listen, loser, do you enjoy
ignoring me that much?
How could you give people
the cold shoulder like that?
A friend you went to school with,
and even worked together with,
shows up after a few years
and you don't even acknowledge him?
That's basic etiquette,
you fucking loser!
Yeah, well... it's great to see you.
Great, my arse!
You'll be seeing me a lot more often.
Fucking "restructuring" shit.
They fired me last week.
Hey, loser.
Be careful.
I don't know what you're scheming up
in the mountains,
but I'm watching you.
- Got it?
- Yeah... yeah.
Go on, get lost.
What's the matter?
- Who's that?
- A fucking dick.
Seeing that loser
has always riled me up.
Have you bought them?
Wow!
Wow...
Funny, isn't it?
A guy like me doing this.
As if I had a life.
But soon things will change.
People will find out who saved us all.
They'll find out who the real hero was.
You people...
what's wrong with you?
Where am I?
You despicable phoney.
Spare me the act.
I know everything already.
Know what?
I know everything.
Why you came here
all the way from Andromeda,
what you and your dirty ilk
are scheming.
What you've done to my mother!
And that your real name is...
Even that! I know it all!
I know everything!
Why? Are you surprised?
Then, imagine when your prince
will be beside you.
- Prince?
- That's right.
You're the only one capable
of communicating telepathically with him.
The only one
with the royal symbiotic genes!
Royal... what?
Just let me meet him.
I'll handle all the rest.
What the hell are you on about?
What's Andromeda,
and who's this prince?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Right...
So you don't know?
Then, I'll help you remember.
Your ilk is quite resistant to electricity,
as you know.
It would take a mere 100 volts to kill us,
but you're different.
You could withstand 200 volts
for an hour.
Sooni?
Turn it up.
- Higher.
- Sweetie...
Higher!
You're all the same.
First, you stubbornly insist
you know nothing.
But eventually you all confess.
The thing about pain...
...is that you never really
get used to it.
What's wrong with you?
What are you people doing?
Do you know who I am?
Are you aware
of who you're messing with?
Of course...
- I know you well.
- What do you want?
Is it money? I can give you
all the money you want!
I even have secret accounts,
so any cash I give you
will be untraceable!
Money?
Money.
Money?
You think I'm in it for the money?
Does it look like I care about money,
you filthy alien scum?
He must be doing it for the money.
That's the Jecheon branch.
Two minutes and he was gone.
- How much did he withdraw?
- Four million won.
That's it?
So he kidnapped the chairman
of Yuje Chemicals for a mere four million?
Maybe he went for quick cash.
Or maybe he'll make
several small withdrawals?
Is he a genius or just crazy?
I can't really figure it out.
What does our rising star think?
I'm not sure.
Don't block the cards.
And focus. If the chief's daughter
becomes a widow, it's over. Got it?
Yes, sir.
Wait.
- Rewind it a bit.
- Yes.
There. Play it again from there.
- Can you darken it?
- Yes.
A bit more.
Stop!
Zoom in as much as possible.
Focus on this number plate.
- Can it be done?
- Yes.
We might be able
to salvage a few numbers.
Well, our rising star lives up
to the hype!
I want a report.
Start working right away.

Do you know how hard it is
to kidnap a rich bastard like him?
Maybe it's all the crimes they commit,
but they're glorified recluses.
They hardly ever venture out
of their territory.
The fact he took advantage of an outing
means that he was watching him.
He invested a shitload
of time and effort into this.
So suddenly he'd just appear
on camera like that,
as if it were a fashion show?
And for four million?

Why are you doing this?
Is this because of your mother?
You were compensated!
I gave you plenty of money!

What else do you want from me?
Or is this because of your girlfriend?
Is it my fault that she died?
Was I the one who killed her,
you deranged fool?
Where the hell are you going?
Untie me right now!
I'll make you pay for this!
Come back here!
Come here, you demented cunt!
- Sweetie...
- Let go!
Sweetie...
That conniving alien scum.
No!
Remember, Mum?
Those little umbrellas
you used to make.
I'd walk around with them when it rained,
and I'd get all wet.
Don't you remember?
I know it's hard, Byung-goo.
But you need to be strong.
There's no one else but you.
You're the only one
who can save Earth.
Mum!
Sooni!
Sooni!
FIVE MINUTES LATER
I feel weird.
It won't stop.
Sooni, do you think
I'm an alien as well?
Byung-goo is completely
out of his mind. He's gone insane.
He's gone crazy
after watching all those films.
Come on, you know that, too.
Right?
You have to help me out.
This violence has to stop, Sooni.
I miss my kids.
Sooni, don't do it! Come here.
Come here and let me go!
Byung-goo doesn't love you!
He loved someone else!
He's doing all this
to avenge her death!
Byung-goo is only using you!
He doesn't love you!
You're being fooled!
Sooni?
What's up?
Sooni?
Sweetie, do you...?
Yeah, tell me.
Sweetie, do you really... love me?
Sooni, I...
I...
Have a drink. It's what everyone
does after a breakup.
Drink.
It'll ease the pain.
What did you say to Sooni?
Does your telepathy still work?
What are you talking about?
Who said anything?
All the better!
It's better this way.
It must have been hard
to endure for her.
She was too sensitive for this.
THREE DAYS BEFORE
THE LUNAR ECLIPSE
DONGSEONG HOSPITAL
YEONGDONG HOSPITAL
Don't even get me started.
We all almost got sacked.
Twenty million's worth of expensive
Class 1 restricted drugs disappeared,
and all hell broke loose!
In the end, the operations manager
had to resign.
- When did this happen, exactly?
- Let's see.
It was around this time
five years ago.
Are any of the patients here
connected to Yuje Chemicals?
Or any employees of the company?
She's been like that for five years.
She's basically a vegetable.
- What's her condition?
- Good question. I don't really know.
Looks like some kind of addiction,
but even the doctors aren't sure.
Any details about her guardian?
Anyhow, she's on life support.
He refuses to take her off it.
It's been going on for five years already.
Oh, my, he was late again
with the payment. Look at this.
A June 28th bill
for 3.77 million won, paid in full.
Wow... talk about a devoted son.
Where do you see kids like that?
JUNE 27
4 MILLION WITHDRAWAL
What's wrong with your face?
- What else are you scheming?
- Scheming, my arse!
I can barely breathe.
I'm dying in here!
Don't worry. You won't die.
I know better than anyone
how resilient your ilk is.
This one will end up inside your guts.
Even the toughest bastard
won't endure it for an hour.
It's too bad it'll mess you up a little,
but it can't be helped.
- The eclipse is almost upon us.
- It'll be useless, anyway!
You can't beat me.
Want to know why?
Because dipshits like you
never get the better of me.
I know your type quite well.
You spend your entire lives blaming others
whilst acting like arrogant cunts.
You're still afraid of me, aren't you?
You can't even come close to me
without your pills.
Cowards like you are bound to fail.
So stop acting like a lunatic and give up.
Before things get any uglier.
The way I see it,
you're the one who's going crazy.
Running your mouth off
without knowing you're in deep shit.
I guess you still haven't figured out
where I'll stick this.
You can't beat me,
you demented fucker!
You fucking bastard!
Know how much trouble I go through
because of fuckers like you?
Worthless little cunts!
How dare you?
Huh? Think I'd just let you
walk all over me? Huh?
Tell me! Come on!
Tell me, you bastard!
If I can't get out, neither can you!
You're trapped!
Help me!
Help! Help me!
Help me!
Someone help me, please!
Help me!
Please! Help me!
I'm in here!
Please help me!
Somebody help me!
I'm in here!
Help me!
Die, you demented freak!
What is it? Are you speechless
after being tricked by a "freak" like me?
You still don't get it?
No one will come to rescue you here.
Anybody home?
Anyone home?
Anybody home?
Is anyone here?
- Who are you?
- Ah... right.
I'm a detective.
What brings you here?
Ah, you know...
I was wondering
if I could possibly stay the night.
I was on patrol looking for poachers,
but I've only realised now
how late it is.
I think it might be too late to head back,
so if by any chance...
I mean, you know...
The police station down in the village
told me about this place.
If I'm not disturbing you,
I'd like to spend the night here.
Oh, come on! Disturbing me?
I'm glad you came, sir.
Besides, it's getting dark,
so heading back now wouldn't be wise.
Come on in.
I've had other people stay the night
from time to time.
This mountain is so rugged
that one day is not enough to see it all.
What a nice house.
Oh, I'd love to call it quits
and come live in a place like this.
- Mind if I take a look around?
- Oh, of course.
- So I hear you built it yourself.
- Yes.
It's been five years,
but it's not finished yet.
Down at the village,
they call it "The Bathhouse".
Oh, that?
Back in the day,
when the old mine was operating,
this was the bathhouse
for the miners.
You're standing right on top of it.
You built a home
on top of a bathhouse?
Yes. To use it as a workshop.
I sell mannequins, both as a hobby
and as a side business.
Oh! I thought they produced them
in factories.
Most people think that,
but mannequins are actually handmade.
Oh, is that right?
Do you want to see my workshop?
We can go down from here.
There's even a secret passage.
No. Maybe next time.
Look, a UFO!
What, a UFO?
Where? Where is it?
Where's this UFO?
- It's already gone.
- Huh?
Here.
So, what, you put glue
on the factory manager's dick?
Yes! It was super glue.
I glued it to his belly
whilst he was sleeping in the staff room.
Now I laugh about it,
but things got pretty serious back then.
I was so angry.
I bet, given what happened
to your mother.
I was really furious.
I wanted to kill them all.
But for some reason,
all that rage...
...actually made me hungry.
So I ate like crazy until I threw up,
and then got hungry again...
So you kept eating and throwing up,
and once you'd thrown up all the bile
and the blood, you calmed down a little.
Just a little.
So that you wouldn't want to die.
Life's such a fucking drag.
I'm in a drinking mood tonight.
Let me do that.
But what are all those?
Do you believe in aliens,
Detective Chu?
Aliens?
Actually,
I've been researching aliens.
It's the reason
why I came to live here.
What, like in the movies,
where aliens try to attack the planet?
Aliens are not such aggressive beings.
Our ignorance is to blame
for all the fear we feel toward them.
What aliens actually bring us
is a message of redemption.
They're striving to awaken us
so that we'll become a more evolved
and righteous species.
You have to read this.
Had I not discovered it,
I would've forever lived in anger.
THE PATH TO A COSMIC HUMAN
THE ALIENS' MESSAGES
OF PEACE AND LOVE
Freeze!
Detective Chu? What's wrong?
Ah, you know...
...I heard some noises.
You scared me.
I guess I was a little too loud.
I couldn't sleep.
What's that?
Ah... this one?
- It's a radio transmitter.
- A transmitter?
Yes, so I can send our message
to the aliens.
Ah! That...
I see... A message?
Sorry if I woke you up.
No, I'm the one
who should apologise.
Yeah, well, I think
I should wrap this up for today.
- Go back to bed.
- Yeah.
YEONGDONG HOSPITAL
Have some breakfast
before you leave. It's ready.
No, I need to head back.
Looks like it's going to rain again.
- You'll come back, though, right?
- Huh?
Oh, no.
I guess the word got out.
I came here expecting poachers
everywhere, but I only wasted my time.
Well, next time
you're in the area, drop by.
Yeah. You take care, huh?
And look after your mother.
Yes.
You take care as well,
Detective Chu.
You little...
Oh, boy, really...
Detective Chu! Wait a moment!
You forgot this.
You must read it.
Sure. Thanks.
- Something's burning in there. Go in.
- Yes. Goodbye, then.
Aliens?
Aliens, he says. Aliens.
I... got you!
Hello?
Hello?
It's me, Chu Sang-cheol.
Chu Sang-cheol!
Hey, a fan of mine doesn't even
recognise my voice?
Call Director Cho and request backup,
but make sure Chief Lee doesn't find out.
Is that clear?
Yeah. I caught that crazy freak.
Here in Wolsan, Gangwon Province.
Hello? Hello?
For fuck's sake.
Hello, Detective?
Where in Gangwon Province?
Detective? Detective!
I see you still haven't left.
Oh, right...
Have you had breakfast?
I'm feeding the bees.
It's the rainy season,
and they haven't been eating at all.
I'd heard they feed them sugar water
during the monsoons.
No.
I don't give them sugar water,
that would be deceiving them.
It's despicable.
Oh... you think so?
Freeze! Hands up!
What's the matter?
I haven't done anything.
- I just wanted to feed the bees.
- Shut the fuck up!
Where's Chairman Kang, huh?
You're all the same.
You're just like everyone else.
Spread your legs
and put your hands up! Now!
What the fuck?
Away! Go away!
What, you want me
to go find Chu Sang-cheol?
Chief, Detective Chu called me.
- He said he'd found the culprit...
- Shut it! I've had it with you.
Detective Seo, looks like
our rising star needs his desk cleared.
Yes, sir.
Chief, we received details
about the number plate.
- You got the results?
- X TAEBAEK X 2X8X
- Send out an APB and start searching.
- Yes, sir.
- Detective Seo, you'll move to the HQ.
- Yes, sir.
Don't worry about Chu.
You can take his place in the kitchen.
Must have been a nice dream.
Did you dream of conquering Earth?
What the...?
I've used an anaesthetic!
It won't hurt!
Stop making such a fuss.
It's far from over.
What are you doing?
Destroying all your hopes.
You'll never escape from this place.
Don't! Don't! Please!
You're right! I'm an alien!
I'm an alien from Andromeda!
Who said you weren't?
Clench your teeth.
I ran out of anaesthetic,
so I skipped the legs.
Your mother! Your mother!
I can save your mother!
She can be saved.
I mean it. There's a way.
You'd better not be making things up.
If you still care about your arms.
Right now, your mother's in a coma,
but her body's undergoing huge changes.
I know!
But what kind of changes?
Her entire genetic code
is being rearranged.
Your mother was the first trial subject.
It's a crucial experiment
that will take at least five years.
We're waiting for the outcome.
If the experiment succeeds,
your mother will wake up.
And if it fails?
She'll die.
But if we stop the trial,
she still can live!
- How?
- There's a brown bottle in my car boot.
It says "Benzene" on it,
but it's actually an antidote.
Have her drink that.
So you'd suddenly give up
on such a "crucial" experiment?
Because of one leg?
There are other test subjects
all over the world.
You wicked bastards.
The trial will end soon.
There's no time, you must hurry.
Still... you have to be punished
for trying to escape.
I don't care about the rest of them.
If my mother dies,
you're a dead man.
I've been anaesthetised.
It won't hurt.
I've been anaesthetised.
It won't hurt, it won't hurt.

Chief, it's Detective Kim.
I found him. I know who the culprit is!
Name's Lee Byung-goo.
Former factory worker in Gangneung.
He has ties to the missing cases.
Shin Ik-tae from '96 was his teacher.
Ji Sang-cheol from '97 was a warden
when he was in juvie.
And Son Gi-moon from last year
was a plant manager at Yuje...
- Let's wrap this up quickly.
- Hello? Can you hear me?
Chief Lee? Chief Lee!
Right. So you caught the culprit?
That's kind of weird,
because we already caught him.
- What?
- We caught him.
It's some nutjob factory worker
who got sacked.
So forget about the case,
and start working on your cooking skills.
Chief! Chief Lee!
What's wrong with you?
- What the fuck did I do?
- What are you doing? Hold him!

Here. I'll help you up.
Drop the gun!
You hear me?
Put the gun down!
My mother...
...is dead.
Lee Byung-goo...
It's that bastard's fault.
He killed her.
I know. I know everything.
But now it's all over.
Put the gun down. Now!
- Sweetie!
- Sooni.
Get down!
Drop the gun!
I'll count to three.
One...
Two...
Three!
What do I do now, sweetie?
Why...
Why won't you leave me alone?
Why?
Why?
Why?
The prince is coming.
The prince!
Then it'll all be over.
Think you'll be safe?
If it rains,
Mum's body will get all wet.
Then? What will you do?
Let's hear it!
So you know?
You know everything?
Yeah, I suppose that's possible.
Since it's the same old story.
But if you knew, where were you...
...when I was going crazy?
You people are even worse.
It's you who killed her.
You killed everyone.
Enough!
Enough with the act,
you demented fucking freak!
You're just like them!
You'll save the planet?
For whom? For what reason?
Will killing everyone who tormented you
save the planet? Will it?
Out of all the people you killed,
how many aliens were there?
Tell me!
How many of them
were actual Andromedans?
DEAD
NOT AN ALIEN
NOT AN ALIEN,
NOT AN ALIEN, NOT AN ALIEN
There were only two! Two!
The rest were people
who you had a grudge against!
Fine, you win.
I'll tell you everything.
There's no time.
Enough bullshit!
- What are you scheming...?
- Listen!
I'll tell you why our DNA structures
are so similar,
why we have waited until now,
and what made you so crazy.
I'll tell you everything.
Earth was first discovered
during the reign
of our 75th ancestral king.
His Majesty christened
this beautiful place the Green Planet.
At that time, the planet was
dominated by gigantic reptiles.
But we inadvertently exposed
the Green Planet to a fatal virus,
which immediately spread like wildfire.
Witnessing the extinction
of countless reptiles,
His Majesty felt immense guilt.
And so, he gifted the Green Planet
with a new lifeform...
...an experimental being
made in our image.
The experimental human
adapted well to his surroundings,
and soon began reproducing.
And that is how a colossal civilisation
came into being,
as the wondrous sublimation
of man's harmony with nature.
But at some point, Earthlings began
to dream of strengthening themselves.
They established massive research groups
in order to create a stronger human.
A new, stronger kind of human
began to emerge,
but, with that newfound strength,
came aggressiveness.
War raged on for centuries,
and was only quelled by the explosion
of thousands of atomic bombs.
A hole opened in the sky,
and everything vanished into the tide,
in a matter of moments.
But one visionary had long been
preparing for the apocalypse.
His massive ark, carrying genetic
samples of all living creatures,
settled on a small piece of land
after drifting for thousands of years.
However, the curse of humanity
did not stop there.
As a result of indiscriminate
genetic manipulation,
you humans began
to rapidly devolve.
After a long and heated dispute,
we decided to give you
another chance.
Evolution began anew,
but we soon witnessed
the most unseemly of sights.
Think about it.
You humans are not normal.
You're insane.
No other creature in the universe
enjoys abusing their own like you do.
And it's all because of that gene.
That hostile gene which your ancestors
developed to strengthen themselves,
the same you carried for generations,
getting stronger by the minute.
The suicidal gene we came here
to eliminate in order to save you!
Shut up!
- Enough of the bullshit.
- You gullible fool.
Don't you understand what I said?
You're in danger.
If we don't act, you'll manipulate
your genes again,
and bring about your own destruction.
And this time, there's no turning back,
because even your host is infected.
This beautiful planet is dying
because of you!
That's why you came,
to stop the spread of its parasites.
You're here to kill us all!
That's right.
Many factions amongst us
would rather wipe you out.
But the prince still has hope for you,
which is why he started the experiments.
But why my mother?
Of all people, why my mother?
Pain causes the genetic
binding structure to break down.
The more afflicted the test subject,
the easier it is to change them.
The torment we subjected...
So it was all because
of that fancy experiment of yours?
Yes, but if the experiment succeeds,
everything will change.
We'll wipe out the filthy gene
that's made you insane.
But you failed.
Mum is dead.
My mother is dead!
I told you there were
other test subjects!
Some of them are beginning
to show some changes.
We must show this evidence to the prince,
or his hands will be tied,
and it'll all be over!
You know only a select few communicate
telepathically with the Royals.
Only those with the royal symbiotic gene.
DINOSAURS' EXTINCTION
SECRETS OF ATLANTIS
You sure are skilled at making up things.
But you made one mistake.
It was your 75th ancestral king
who discovered Earth?
The dinosaurs went extinct
70 million years ago!
So you live millions of years?
We only live 150 years at best!
But our planet is 120 times
the Earth's diameter,
and it orbits our sun
over 450 times faster.
Time in the universe is relative.
You still don't know the basics?
1 YEAR 1 MILLION YEARS
I'll let you meet the prince.
We can contact him
from the factory in Gangneung.
No, you're lying.
I'm the only one
who can help you meet him!
- They're all lies!
- We only have four hours left!
Once the eclipse is over,
Earth will be done for!
There's no one else.
You must save the planet.
Don't you dare pull any tricks.
If I press this, we all die.
Everything I know is in there.
If I fail...
...and you end up squaring off
against the aliens...
...it'll come in handy for sure.
You're the only one left
who knows everything.
Earth is now in your hands.
YUJE CHEMICALS
RESEARCH LAB #2
I haven't done this
in quite some time.
There's no rush.
We still have one hour,
four minutes and 32 seconds.
Stop.
Looks like your prince is busy.
No need to bother.
You'll meet your prince in the next life.
You're not fooling me anymore.
Are you sure?
Sooni!
Sooni!
Sweetie...
Sweetie...
Sooni!
Now we'll die together,
you filthy alien scum.
Die!
Die, you demented freak!
Just... die!
Die!
You people can't defeat me.
What the fuck?
Hands up, motherfucker!
Hands up!
It's him.
Where is he?
Chairman Kang! Chairman Kang!
- What are you doing? Help him up!
- Yes, sir.
Up you get.
Let's go.
Of course, when I get promoted,
I'll have to treat you to a nice dinner.
Yes, yes, of course.
Send us an ambulance, will you?
We have some cleaning up to do here.
Right.
Get in, Chairman.
Sooni.
Mum.
Now I can come to you.
But...
...who will save Earth now?
It's all over, sir.
You can get in.
- You drive him home.
- Yes, sir.
And you wrap things up here
and return with the ambulance.
Right, sir.
WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?
I NEARLY DIED, YOU FUCKER!
MY APOLOGIES, PRINCE.
BUT YOU SAID TO WAIUNTIL YOU CONTACTED US.
YOU USELESS FUCKS!
HOW THE FUCK WAS I SUPPOSED
TO CONTACT YOU WITH NO HAIR?
EXPERIMENT NUMBER 1786 - FAILED.
EXPERIMENT NUMBER 1787 - FAILED.
REMAINING TEST SUBJECTS - 4543.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE GREEN PLANET,
YOUR HIGHNESS?
HALT THE EXPERIMENTS.
THERE IS NO MORE HOPE
FOR THAT PLANET.
I said it wasn't me, man!
