Sisyphus (시지프스 : the myth)

ALL NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

Mom?

Dad.

Mom.

You shouldn't have come here today.

Why?

It's not my fault.

What do you mean?

He's here

right now.

Who?

Who's here?

Look who's here.

Finally we meet, Mr. Han Tae-sul.

What's going on here?

This? Ask this old lady here.

Hey, easy!

Hey, come on. Easy. Goodness.

Okay, all right. Jeez! Let me take these off at least.

So it was you.

Long time no see.

Why did you bring him here?

Mr. Han here kept pestering me for the cure like crazy.

I had no choice.

You ruined everything, you bastard.

Gosh. Sister Agnes.

We both did some bad stuff.

It's not like you can undo them by praying.

Enough.

Let him out.

Enough, okay?

Come on! Don't do this to me. We're like partners.

You, 101.

I told you I can't stand people who don't keep their word.

You're the one who didn't keep your promise, bastard.

Why didn't you send my wife and kid?

I kept my promise.

I found your wife and daughter and took them to the uploader myself.

It was their choice whether to get on it.

Maybe

she doesn't want to see her daddy.

I swear, I will kill you with my own hands.

Some people can't handle it when they're treated with respect.

Sit down.

All right, thanks.

Oh, boy.

Sorry it got a little tense there when we just met.

Han Tae-sul, it's very nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Why did you leave like that last time? I was disappointed.

That wasn't the day for us to meet.

Then what about today?

You arranged this meeting? Were you finally ready to meet me?

I came here to see Agnes.

I did think you might come here,

but you actually did.

Had I known, I would have put on nicer clothes.

Why are you here?

To get the cure.

Oh, no. I guess that girl got the injection.

You probably know this already,

but Agnes made that drug to torture people from the future.

You see, she despises illegal entrants.

So why should we give you the cure?

Agnes, I guess he thought we'd just hand it over.

On a side note,

I really don't understand why one would make poison

and also create an antidote to it.

You shouldn't do something you'd regret in the first place.

Why go to such lengths to undo it?

Right? Don't you agree?

In my opinion, people are fickle-minded

because they aren't honest with themselves.

What do you think?

What? Why are you scoffing?

Then I suppose you're very honest with yourself.

I know what kind of a person I am.

And I know exactly what I want.

So I don't change my mind easily, and I never lie.

You can believe every word I say.

You start a war, but you don't lie?

That's right.

Is that so? Then, what do you want from me?

Your uploader.

Can you finish coding the program?

Then I'll save the girl.

No, I won't.

Why not?

-Did you ask why? -Yes, isn't it an enticing offer?

Because the world will fall to pieces because of the uploader.

Wait.

To be precise, it's just the Korean peninsula, not the entire world.

By the way, the world can't fall to pieces? Why not?

Gosh, that crazy bastard.

People always swear when they have nothing to say.

Hey, I'm not crazy.

Answer my question.

Why shouldn't the world end?

Well…

Where do I begin?

First off, normal people

wouldn't want the world to end.

You're wrong.

Go ask anyone you see on the streets.

"In front of you, there's a nuke button to end the world. Will you press it?"

I bet so many people will say yes.

Look on the Internet.

You see countless people who want the world to end.

And some people say this.

"There are too many people on this planet.

We must wipe out 75 percent of the world population."

Han Tae-sul.

I bet you're no different.

Why don't we do a little experiment?

Take it.

You know how to shoot a gun, right?

Just pull the trigger.

Shoot me.

If you kill me now, you can save the world.

Shoot me.

Come on.

Do it.

Shoot me.

You just

pressed the nuclear button.

I bet this was your train of thought.

If you kill me, my buddies here will kill you.

They'll also kill Agnes and 101. You won't be able to get the cure.

So that girl will die too.

You made a choice that will end the world just because of a girl.

But don't beat yourself up too much.

That's just how people are.

Even if everyone were to die,

they'd still put themselves, their families, and money first.

Agnes is no exception.

She can't shoot me because I'm taking good care of her mother.

Neither can 101 since he wants something from me.

I gave everyone a chance,

but not a single person chose to save the world.

I'll be honest with you. I really don't care about the future.

I mean, why would I…

You folks call me despicable.

But you're the despicable ones.

You're putting all the blame on me.

Then,

why did you kill Kim Dong-hyeon?

Tell me. You said you never lie.

-Kim Dong-hyeon was-- -What about my brother?

Why? What did he do wrong?

You said other people are putting all the blame on you.

-As for your brother-- -You're the one

who's blaming others for what you did with your sophistry.

Don't cut me off.

I didn't do anything to your brother.

I did yell at him to scare him a little,

but 101 and Agnes are the ones who put him through hell.

They deceived him and used him.

I guess you haven't told him yet.

We're just business partners.

I'll fill you in on the details later.

You see, Kim Dong-hyeon betrayed me.

I turned a brokerage clerk into a magnate. But then he tried to kill me.

I just took back what I had given him.

But come to think of it,

Agnes and 101 aren't the ones who tortured your brother the most.

It's you, Han Tae-sul.

Okay, back to where we started. Let me ask you again.

I was going to get the blueprint from your brother.

But he got away, thanks to someone.

Can you make it again?

Get lost.

That's your answer?

You said you came here for the cure.

Take it.

It must be injected in a specific way. If you're not sure, take Agnes too.

What are you up to?

I just like you.

My, I wasn't ready for that.

I mean it. I really like you.

You're so precious to me.

You're the last piece of the puzzle for my plan.

That's why I invested in your research.

If it weren't for me, you'd still be stuck

in that shipping container, running your physics engine by yourself.

Right?

Everything you've achieved so far…

You owe it all to me.

You should feel grateful once in a while.

Hey, 101.

What should I do with you?

I'm the one who dug you up, so I can simply bury you back in.

I think you could still be useful, so I'll spare you for now.

But if you betray me one more time,

I'll send your wife and daughter to you, dead.

Got anything to say? Or any questions?

You sneaked into my place

and wrote "Don't look for your brother." How did you do that?

IF YOU DO, YOU'LL DIE

I used spray paint.

I mean, how did you get in?
