Sisyphus (시지프스 : the myth)

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

Seo-hae, listen to me.

Please.

Not today. Please, Seo-hae.

Not today.

Please.

Tae-sul…

-What happened? -The camera must've been turned off.

He ran away.

Taxi!

Darn it!

Darn it.

Hey.

What about Sigma?

He's gone.

Darn it.

SEO-HAE

-What about the girl? -I don't know.

Please leave a message…

Is she not picking up? Isn't there a GPS tracker on her phone?

No, because of the Control Bureau.

Darn it.

Jeez.

Let's go, Bingbing.

Hello? Seo-hae?

Thank you. I survived thanks to you.

You jerk…

Why are you taking it out on me? You made the decision.

What about Seo-hae?

Is she mad at you?

I didn't do anything.

She left of her own accord.

I don't think she'll come back to you.

After all, you just protected the person

who killed her father.

That's terrible.

Anyway, I owe you one today. I'll take good care of your brother.

I swear I'm going to find you and--

And now I'm warning you.

Of course, you're a precious resource to me.

So I won't kill you.

But you'd better not dig up my past again.

If you do, I'll find all the people that you two love

and send their bodies back to you.

I'm telling you again. Don't find me.

I'll find you.

That's what our relationship should be like. Okay?

Shut up, you bastard!

That asshole…

Gosh, my ear hurts.

He always had quite the temper.

-Mr. Hwang. -Yes.

-You know the next step, right? -Yes, sir.

All right, you've all done a good job in politics.

Just enjoy everything from now on. Cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

You know,

many great people used to be nothing special in their past.

They never imagined that they'd end up doing something great.

You know Edison, right?

He'd always lost against Tesla, but what happened in the end?

He eventually won.

Tesla met a miserable end.

I heard he died in a motel room.

Am I right?

People these days only think of electric cars

when they hear the name Tesla.

But they all know Edison.

I believe that you can become such a person, Eddy.

Someone like Edison.

Your names are similar, too.

Isn't a war going to break out

if we make the uploader?

Tae-sul said so.

A war?

No.

Did he say I'm going to start a war?

How?

How would I do that?

That's nonsense.

Everyone's blaming me for everything.

The war was going to happen anyway,

and the uploader saved people.

The uploader that you made.

You might not know it now,

but the uploader saved lots of people.

Dr. Kim's mother survived thanks to the uploader, too.

You see, there's a cure for ALS in the future.

The sooner you make it,

the more people will be saved.

I don't really beg people to do things.

Someone else is going to beg you.

You have to make it.

Please.

Seo-jin.

So it won't work without Han Tae-sul's code?

I'll get that code.

You just focus on the machine.

Why don't you have some snacks?

Oh, thank you!

We won't have to run experiments for a while.

-Why? -Then what do we do?

Let's finish the machine first.

Let's increase the capacity.

Here's the blueprint.

-Then how will we operate… -That can come later.

Just focus on the machine.

Why don't you eat your snacks first?

-Thank you! -Thank you for the food.

We have to increase the capacity.

SEO-HAE

Seo-hae, where are you right now?

I didn't get shot, and I'm fine. So don't worry about me.

Don't wander around by yourself. You'll get lost.

If you see any big buildings around you,

just send me a photo of them.

I'll come and get you.

I'll find you.

FEBRUARY 17, 2032

All right. I'll take the photo.

Look over here. You look so pretty. One, two, three.

Seo-hae, why don't you smile a little more?

All right. One, two… Just a little more.

Seo-hae, can't you smile more? What's this awkward look?

Come on. I look pretty happy, considering the world ended.

Let's measure your height.

Dad, I'm not growing anymore.

-I'm all grown up now. -No way.

You should be at least 170cm to look good when you meet a man like me.

-You should grow two more centimeters. -Give me that.

Look here, Dad.

All right.

Let's see.

You finally smiled properly. It looks good.

Aren't I good at taking photos?

You are.

FEBRUARY 17, 2032

Sis, I'm leaving now.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Thank you for everything. Thanks to you…

Are you crying?

Answer me. Where are you?

Hello?

Darn it.

-I see. -I knew it.

Right. I thought so too.

Do you really have to do that?

-What? -I'm just telling the truth.

Is it girl talk?

That's where our old house is,

and that's where your grandma's house is.

Where's the uploader?

It's…

Achasan Station…

Here it is. We have nine stations left to go.

What's this?

Use it as a last resort.

Open it when you have no other option.

Is it the girl or the world?

You can only choose one.

I saw a grave.

It was my grave.

That's where I found my diary.

Then I touched something.

I've been having that dream since then.

What dream is it?

It's about what's going to happen.

I remember now.

ACCESS POINT TEHERAN-RO 255-7, GANGNAM-GU

ACCESS DATE

QUANTUM & TIME HEADQUARTERS

You!

Come here.

Who is it?

I don't know.

You little…

That crazy bastard.

Mr. Park!

Why did you bring a gun? Who's it for?

What are you doing here?

-I was just passing by. -Why pass by here?

Actually, Seon-ho told me to follow you.

Whatever. Just go.

Did you do everything I told you to do?

We're on it. I'll get to it later.

-Do you have anything to eat? -No.

Are you waiting for someone?

-Who would I be waiting for? -Who is it?

I'm not waiting for anyone.

Was that guy really Sigma?

Yes. He was really Sigma.

We could've stopped the war if we just killed him. Right?

You idiot. If he dies, we'll go out of business.

Maybe you're right. Anyway, what's with the gun?

You little…

It's just for self-protection.
