Sisyphus (시지프스 : the myth)

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

Hey, wake up.

She's not breathing. Hey!

One, two, three, four, five…

Hey, breathe!

Come on, breathe!

You're alive. Thank goodness!

Gosh.

I feel like I'm going to pass out.

Darn it.

I hope this works.

ACCESS

-Security has been disabled. -Nice!

It worked!

Thank you, Seo-jin!

Don't move.

Damn it.

My back. Gosh, I feel like I'm dying.

Hold on.

You must be cold. Here.

She had a wound somewhere here.

Gosh.

It has to be disinfected.

Hold on.

Darn it.

Where is it?

Here it is. I found it.

Where is it?

Sorry.

Oh, hey. I'm sorry.

Hey, don't!

Isn't she the one who kidnapped you?

Seo-jin, I'll explain everything.

Hey, hold on.

It's very complicated, and you'll find it hard to believe.

How should I put this? It defies the laws of physics.

It's about the universe we live in. Can you give me a moment?

Wait. Before that, can you treat her first?

Or you can write her a prescription.

Who is that woman?

Isn't she the one who kidnapped you?

-No. -Then who is she?

It's complicated.

Does Eddy know you're alive?

-Not yet. -Then why are you here?

-Well, let's treat her first. -Take her to the hospital.

She's a foreigner, so she doesn't have health insurance.

Just write out a prescription

under your name or my name, and we'll leave right away.

Darn it, you jerk!

I thought you were dead.

Gosh.

Darn it.

Why are you crying?

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I thought I was going to die too.

I'm sorry, Seo-jin. Okay?

Don't cry.

Go away.

You're all crazy.

Who in the world is she?

It's a long story.

I don't know either.

Is it serious?

Is she badly hurt?

She fell into a river earlier. Did water get in her lungs?

What is it? Cardiac arrest?

She's malnourished.

Do you expect me to believe that?

It's the most ridiculous and absurd thing you've ever done.

Hey, I fixed a falling airplane and came back alive.

Doesn't that sound more absurd?

-Compared to that… -You said she's from the future.

And you'll supposedly end up building a time machine later on?

-An uploader. -It's still a time machine.

And that's why those lunatics are trying to kill you?

Sigma.

"Sigma"?

Is that someone's name?

I have no idea whether it's a person, an organization, or an alien.

I see.

Hey.

Don't tell anyone about this. If you do, they'll think you're crazy.

At least you know that.

Tae-sul, I've been telling you to stop taking the pills

and get therapy, but I take it back.

You need to be hospitalized.

Honestly, I didn't know your condition was this serious.

I was not seeing things.

I swear it was Tae-san. I saw him.

Do you realize that you're in danger?

When are you going to call Eddy?

Everyone's waiting for you now.

Is it because of her?

She saved my life. I want to get her treated first.

From the Control Bureau?

-Yes. -You're crazy.

Hey.

They're literally everywhere.

It must be a government organization.

They even tap our phones.

If I go out there rashly, I'll be screwed.

-Tae-sul. -I should start getting prepared.

I'll figure out where Tae-san is and how to deal with those--

Han Tae-sul!

Do you know who you sound like right now?

You sound just like your brother.

Hey, maybe Tae-san was right.

You saw this earlier.

It was a real gun.

And what about Bong-seon? Are you saying it's all in my head?

Forget it.

I don't want to make the bed for you and your new girlfriend.

I'm going home. You'd better leave by tomorrow morning.

-And-- -Hey, Seo-jin.

Can you lend me your credit card?

I lost my wallet.

I'm going to report her to the police tomorrow morning.

Hey, wait! Seo-jin.

Darn it.

Thanks. What a loyal friend. She's a keeper.

I paid 150 million won for this? Jeez.

Don't I have the right to take a look at what she wrote?

Forget it. I don't want to be so sneaky.

Mom.

Mom.

Where am I?

I don't want to tell you. How are you feeling?

-My backpack. -Just stay there.

But all the things that were inside…

Still… Here.

I managed to salvage these.

What's with that glare? The diary? I didn't read it.

I said I didn't read it.

I should've just read it.

Then I will kill you.

Hey, here.

Get changed. Let's grab a bite.

Good. Help yourself.

You can eat everything here. Eat this too.

This too. You need to eat well, okay?

Hey, dip it in the sauce.

That's it.

These are all high in calories. Who picked these?

Also,

take these to supplement the nutrients that you may lack.

Yes, drink it. Go ahead and open it.

Not now? Drink your Coke, then.

By the way, is there not enough food in the future?

I just can't wrap my head around it.

Why were all the people who crossed over exposed to radiation?

Does the exposure happen on their way here?

And let's go back to what you brought up yesterday.

You said you won't let me make the uploader.

Does it have something to do with it?

There will be a war.

No way. A nuclear war?

Yes, it starts in Wolsong.

That nuclear power plant will be nuked.

By North Korea?

And then,

Seoul will also be nuked.

Everyone will die.

Everyone you and I know.

All the passersby you see now.

But like I said,

I'll protect you. I was told that it'll prevent the war.

Who told you that?

-What about them? -The Control Bureau?

No idea. They didn't chase us.

They must be looking for us with their eyes peeled.

-Are you going to go to that address? -Yes.

Both the Control Bureau and Sigma will be there.

Let's go.

Please remove your cash.

All right, let me sum it up.

I'm going to invent the uploader, a machine that enables time travel.

So all sorts of people will try to kill me.

That includes the Control Bureau.

And those jerks at Asia Mart must be mad at me as well.

-And Sigma. -Yes, Sigma.

But what are they? An individual or an organization?

Anyway, all sorts of mysterious people will try to kill me from now on.

You're in danger too. Right?

Then let's go our separate ways.

I've been meaning to say this. Thank you so much. I mean it.

In Busan and at the Han River yesterday…

If it weren't for you, I'd already be dead.

But you have no reason to do all this for me.

You nearly died too.

And I'm not a nice person. You know that.

So with that said, I'll figure things out on my own now.

Take this.

Come on, take it. You'll need it to get by.

Find a place to live and look for a job.

Just live your life and be happy.

Only five percent of those who come here survive.

You risked a lot to come here, so I don't want to ruin this opportunity.

But I have to protect you.
