L.U.C.A.: The Beginning (루카: 더 비기닝)

It's okay, my baby.

You trust Mommy, right?

It'll all be okay.

Let's go.

He shines light in the darkness.

He sees you wherever you may hide.

He knows what sins you commit...

with your actions and thoughts!

Stop with your stupid lies!

A baby angel?

We gave you our life savings!

But you say the same garbage for 10 years!

Frauds like you need to die!

My goodness!

He came!

He's here!

It's okay.

These people are crazy.

It's okay.

Let's go back. Don't make things any worse.

Are you here to catch us or to save us?

You have blood on your face.

Let's go.

We can still escape.

This is my first time holding our baby.

That's not how you hold a baby.

Give her to me. I'll hold her.

Zi O.

Give me the baby.

Let's go back inside.

I risked my life to get out.

This is the safest place.

No one can harm us here.

This place is a prison.

It's even worse outside.

Come on inside.

Zi O.

Zi O.

"You will cry alone in the dark."

"You will cry all together underneath my light."

"I have heard your prayers and seen your tears."

Those who bow before his presence...

will be blessed.

Only those who kneel and pray...

will receive blessings and glory.

Those who are blind to nobility...

are like dying beasts.

Thus, those who do not shed tears...

even after seeing the deity,

that makes them no better than beasts!

Our tears are like dewdrops in the evening.

But no one knows that the Almighty's teardrops...

are heavier than the waterfalls in the ocean.

Do you remember where we used to live?

I thought we had it all, but you didn't.

We have nothing.

We have no future or hope.

We don't even have any money.

Look at this place. There's nothing.

And you're still the same.

I see the future and hope here, but you don't.

What hope?

No way. I don't want to do this.

Then don't.

You don't need to.

I will walk the wicked path. You can take the nice one.

I'm willing to do anything for us.

What are you trying to do?

This is crazy. It's absurd.

If there are thousands of people like our baby,

no one will be able to harm her.

Increasing their number won't make them normal.

Zi O, snap out of it.

There are things humans should and should not do.

What exactly is abnormal?

If something's different from you, do you call it abnormal?

I never once thought of you as abnormal.

I'm going to break the arrogance of humans.

I'm going to show them...

that we're all free to live the way we were born.

You're trying to change humans, not the world.

You're trying to remodel human beings.

How are you any different from those people out there?

That's the only way our family can survive.

There's no good and evil when it comes to survival.

Zi O.

Have you really...

decided to become a monster?

Only as bad...

as I need to be.

I heard it was miraculous last night.

You've really made it.

There was once a mountaineer who dreamed of...

conquering the 14 peaks in the Himalayas in his 20s.

After many failed attempts,

he finally realized his dream when he was almost 50.

Since it took too long,

he couldn't be just happy about it.

But I'm sure he wasn't sad about it either.

Zi O is like a deity now,

so your dream has come true.

When we clone him, we'll take care of them.

What do you mean? We made them. Why would you look after them?

It was different when it was just Zi O, but now that it's grown,

you can't hire a private company to handle this.

We don't want them to be leaked and weaponized, do we?

But we'll continue to help you with your business.

You got it all wrong.

We've been helping you guys.

We handled all the unlawful things such as human experiments,

which an intelligence agency simply couldn't do.

My boss appreciates all your hard work.

Your boss? Who? Mr. Kim? Mr. Oh? Mr. Song? Who?

I report to many higher-ups.

Hierarchy matters a great deal where I work, you know.

Ms. Jung, don't get funny with me.

Just one word from me can get many of your higher-ups fired.

We support organizations in various sectors,

including politics, finance, culture, religion, and even sports.

When such organizations grow, we receive help from them in return.

Continuously supporting each other like that...

turns them into this huge united force.

Their vested rights are respected when things are in their favor.

When the tables turn, people call them deep-rooted evils.

But this is the only thing that matters.

That force is the main character here.

We're only minor characters in this story.

Minor characters who forget their place can ruin the whole story.

I understand what you're trying to say, so go tell your bosses.

I'll handle everything, so they don't need to overreact.

Just one word from me...

can make hundreds of people run over there with bombs.

I'll let them know.

I'm just an administrator, you know.

What's going on with Deputy Chief Kim?

We can't track Lee Son down.

As for Deputy Chief Kim, we had a talk with him,

but he's gone AWOL without a resignation letter.

I guess people develop comprehension issues when they get old.

You know?

"Are you sure you want to transfer this amount?" Yes.

Darn it! Why does this have to be so complicated?

The password was...

Okay.

Done.

You all got it, right? - Yes, sir.

Now, this money bonds us together. We're a team,

so let's put our lives on the line.

Just do as I say, and I'll give you guys the lives you want.

Who's our target?

Darn it. I forgot to send it to you.

Kill all four of them.

If anyone gets in your way, handle them however you want.

Once the job is done,

just put this one's corpse in a body bag...

and transport it to Juan Airport refrigerated.

Upon receipt, the remainder will be deposited into your accounts.

Any questions? - Can we use guns?

We're in Korea.

Don't you know that guns are illegal here?

When you go there, you'll find a baby.

Use the baby as a hostage. That will be the easiest.

You're dismissed. I'll let you know when and where to meet.

Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Who are they?

The likes of you, whom I have used and ditched.

And you were still able to assemble them?

Even ghosts respond to money. People are easy.

Is the injection bearable?

Yes.

Any side effects? - None.

This is the last one. Take it.

Director Ryu said...

this injection makes your cells fight against each other.

The weak ones die. Only the strong ones survive.

And the ones that survive...

keep on dividing to become stronger.

Do you know what that means?

Yes. - As if.

In a few days, your arm will burst.

I don't care.

I just need to kill Z-0.

All right.

I once risked my life for what I believed in, like you're doing now.

But it was all useless.

Be on standby.

Those crazy believers are the foundation of this place.

The fact that they kneeled before you...

means that you're now the King of this church.

Am I supposed to be happy that I'm a cult leader now?

If you think this is a mere church,

you're wrong.

This is like a hugely powerful cartel.

It's so big and deeply rooted...

that whacking just one person won't even make it budge.

A mere reform certainly can't get rid of this organization.

And that organization...

has finally begun to make use of you.

I won't let anyone use me.

You've already been used.
