L.U.C.A.: The Beginning (루카: 더 비기닝)

You used your brain, but not well enough.

We're experts...

on luring and tailing.

You came all this way. We should put an end to each other.

If you take me down...

You can enter here.

Everything about you is in here.

Who you are. Where you're from.

That's why you're here, isn't it?

That's it?

Everything about me is in there?

You must've thought too highly of yourself.

That's all you can ever do.

Get ready to treat him.

Let's just leave him.

We need to treat him first.

He has the ability to cure himself.

Let's see how well that works. - But still...

We need to conduct a performance test anyway.

Let's use this opportunity to check how well he can...

regenerate or recuperate himself.

I'm glad he came here in that state.

This is going to save us from having to conduct another test.

As soon as we check his performance,

we'll have to take him apart for mass production.

So I want you to have all the production lines ready.

And record the entire process of his recovery.

I need to report this to the higher-ups.

Before you take Z-0 apart,

I want you to make several clones of his somatic cells.

Pardon?

In this day and age, it's easy to clone people.

Well, it's not that hard to do.

Do it without telling anyone.

"Without telling anyone"?

Let's just keep it...

between the two of us.

Why are you suddenly asking me to do this?

What do you think will happen if our research gets exposed?

All the researchers in this lab...

will end up in prison. You know that, right?

But that won't happen as long as we keep it confidential.

Once the experiment ends and we start mass producing,

all the researchers in this lab will go missing.

But I'm sure you'd like to stay alive.

Are you okay?

Is it over now?

No.

This is just the beginning.

It's going to turn into a war.

Captain, why are you doing this?

You need to give her time to grieve.

And to be honest, something really could've happened.

I want you to stay here.

Don't let anyone inside, and don't record anything.

What's going on?

I don't think...

she should've come to our team.

Captain, what's going on?

It's nice and quiet, isn't it?

I need to ask you something.

I purposely didn't call before I came here.

I think those guys know my whereabouts.

Really?

Last time, they even tailed me.

Is that so?

Where's Zi O?

Why are you acting startled?

Why are you asking me?

You know what will happen to you if you help a criminal hide, right?

Yes, I know. I won't get severely punished.

This is no time for jokes.

I heard a fire recently broke out at Euicheon Church.

The church didn't call 911.

But they still had to check if it was arson or an accident.

Apparently, the nun testified...

that a detective named Ha Gu Reum and a guy named Zi O came together.

We'll start investigating what you've been up to.

But for now, where's Zi O?

Do you want me to handcuff you first?

You're treating me like a criminal.

Are you scared?

How about I handcuff myself first?

Let's begin.

Zi O, it's me.

Do you remember me?

Don't you remember me?

It's okay, Zi O.

You're home.

This is your home.

Cut the nonsense.

Zi O.

I'm sorry I left you alone for such a long time.

You must've been extremely lonely.

Who are you?

I thought I had lost you for good.

Who are you?

I'm...

your father.

You're my son.

Shouldn't we tie him up?

That's what he's doing. - Where?

Do you really think...

you can tie him by force and take him to the lab?

He's not hugging him because he loves him.

He's just doing that to keep him here.

He's probably confusing him...

by telling him he's his father.

I must say, Professor Ryu is truly evil.

Do you want a cup of water?

You punk.

You seem frustrated. That's all.

You hid a criminal,

let him escape, and obstructed a police officer.

"Obstructed a police officer"? No.

I was the only officer on duty at the time.

I can't exactly "obstruct" myself, can I?

In a broad sense, it's considered obstruction of justice.

Since when did we see such a big picture and make big moves?

What about the Act on the Performance of Duties by Police?

That shouldn't be a concern...

because I went to the church upon receiving the tip,

but Zi O escaped.

But the nun said you two came in together.

Who do you trust more? Her or me?

Should I cross-examine the two of you?

Instead of suggesting a cross-examination,

shouldn't you be understanding and just let it go?

You need to be protective of your own.

This is why we can never beat the prosecution.

When it comes to protecting our own, we're number one.

The prosecution can't beat us.

Then uncuff me? - Where is Zi O?

I don't know. - Where are you hiding him?

You said it was no longer our case. We handed it over.

I really don't know where he is.

Do you want some beef bone soup?

No, thanks. - Just have some.

Criminals always have beef bone soup here.

What will you do now, Captain?

She's the youngest one on the team.

Order her a bowl of beef bone soup and come with me.

Sorry?

You're my father?

Why do you say that? How can you be my father?

You must resent me a lot.

I don't have parents.

I grew up in a children's home, and I...

You don't remember anything, right?

But that doesn't change the fact that I am your father.

Having no recollection doesn't mean the person doesn't exist.

This man is the key to finding your lost memories.

"Ryu Jeung Kwon"?

Do you know a man named Ryu Jeung Kwon?

I sure do.

Can I meet him? I want to meet him.

He's the only person I can trust.

I won't trust anyone else until I talk to him in person.

You are talking to him now.

I'm Ryu Jeung Kwon.

I guess you've forgotten your father's name.

I'm sure you have many questions for me.

"Why did you abandon me?"

"Why didn't you come looking for me sooner?"

"Why did you almost get me killed while trying to catch me?"

"Why am I different?"

"Am I a monster?"

But such questions are all meaningless.

"Does he love me?"

That's the only question that matters.

All my life,

I've loved no one but you.

You're the only person I ever loved.

That is why I'm not asking you any questions.

Why you left me...

and why you abandoned your own father.

Because I will always love you no matter what your answers are.

Do you think he's here?

He can't be.

Then why are we here?

Just in case he's here.

Goodness.

Hey, the door.

He's not here.

Obviously, she wouldn't hide him here.

Hey.

This doesn't look like Gu Reum's hair.

Are your eyes like a microscope?

Let's go. Let's not snoop around.

Come on! Where are you going?

Goodness.

Is he a piece of paper? There's no way he's behind that thing.

What is all this?

Take a photo of this. - Okay.

What has she been up to?

I don't remember anything.

I do recall bits and pieces, but I don't know what they mean.

You must've produced a large amount of electricity without realizing it,

and your body couldn't handle it.

When that happens, your cells burn and die.
