L.U.C.A.: The Beginning (루카: 더 비기닝)

Is this it?

I think so.

It's nice.

It's decent enough to stay for a few days.

Here you go.

Hello.

I put the suicide note in his pocket.

Okay.

Today will be another clear day.

The fine dust level is average. - Come on.

However, later in the evening, there will be a shower...

in the mountain range, along with thunder and lightning.

Here.

We will move onto the next news.

Kim, a former researcher at Human Tech,

was found dead this morning...

in a forest by the coast.

The police announced that he committed suicide...

since there were no signs of murder and a suicide note was found.

Kim had been suffering from severe depression...

after the murder incident that occurred at Human Tech,

which was committed by Lieutenant Ha.

And they assume that he committed suicide...

because he couldn't bear the mental suffering.

It's been over three months since the incident occurred.

However, the police have failed to find any leads on the case.

Hey.

I think I need to go.

Why all of a sudden?

He died.

Who?

I don't know.

Another person died because of me.

We did stay for a long time. It was only supposed to be for a few days.

I was scared to go down the mountain.

But now I think I should go, no matter how scared I am.

Can't you just forget about it?

Is that possible for you?

Your father suddenly showed up and said he will kill you.

Can you just forget that?

The lambs here...

are sick and weak.

They're not strong enough to survive in a herd.

My job is to make them healthy again and return them to the ranch owner.

I don't really think of much when I look after them.

We can't live like this forever.

We can't just continue to be hopeless...

and live here until we die.

I give those lambs hope.

Isn't that enough?

You can't always look for hope in an uncertain future.

Stop making excuses. We ran away from the real world.

Penguins didn't run away to go to Antarctica.

They chose to live there.

Do you want to keep fighting?

Is that the kind of world you want to live in?

What happened? - What was that?

My gosh.

How did you endure it all when you still remember everything?

Live here with me.

Let's live here together.

I'm not a penguin.

And this isn't Antarctica.

Should I just live here?

Would I be able to go on living?

Should I just be a penguin?

It's just not a good fit.

What are you doing?

I see you're still here.

What are you doing there?

You should've come a bit later.

I had to finish in a rush.

What is that?

This place is so dreary.

I noticed that there isn't a single flower in this entire lab.

Being sentimental is the last thing we should be doing right now.

It's nice and pretty. Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll be off then.

Take it outside.

There shouldn't be any flowers in the lab.

Wait.

Let me check the log history.

She made a hard drive copy.

Go get her!

This thought hit me yesterday.

"I lost everything. It's all over now."

I thought the opposite.

"There's nothing more I can wish for. It's a new beginning."

New beginning, my foot.

We have nothing.

No future and no hope.

But I have you.

Stop talking nonsense.

And you have me.

You might be able to live like this since you're different from others,

but I can't. I'm just an ordinary person.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I didn't want to be different,

so I hid myself all my life.

Whenever anyone saw what my strange powers could do,

I begged them to please just treat me like a normal person.

But it never worked.

No one accepted me.

Because this world is full of scars.

That's life, after all.

It gives us pain and strength.

If you go back now, is there such a person in your life?

Someone who gives you strength and comforts you.

No. I'm racking my brain...

but can't think of anyone.

I don't know what to do.

Last night, I thought...

maybe I should just live here, in hiding.

Was it because of the rain? I felt calm and relaxed.

But now that it's morning,

and the rain has stopped...

Do you know how I feel now?

I feel even less confident.

Now that I can see everything clearly, I'm even more scared.

We both know that staying here isn't the best solution.

It's not like it'll rain every night.

It won't rain...

every night.

I know.

That's just a fantasy. This place is too.

It's not the real world.

Reality is where the real world resides.

I should get back to reality even if I'll get hurt and die.

Gu Reum.

The world is like this scenery.

If you don't want to deal with it, all you need to do is look away.

Zi O.

I'll get going.

Stay one more day.

Let's go for a walk and clear our heads.

I heard some people experience more static shocks than others do.

Apparently, I was one of them.

Who said that?

My father.

It was so bad even when I was a newborn,

so he moved me there to treat me.

That place wasn't a hospital.

I guess he took me there because he was a research scientist.

He said your father worked there too.

My dad?

I clearly heard him say that it was your father.

Was her name Ha Neul Ae Gu Reum?

He always showed me photos of his daughter and bragged about her.

But that's not where my dad worked.

I heard he worked there.

But how?

He treated me.

I heard he adored me.

I guess that's why he took me to your home.

So what happened to him?

He started a fire at the lab and ran away with you.

You followed him without resisting at all.

He tried to sell you.

There must've been an accident. That's all I know.

Was my dad also participating in a research project like that?

All I heard was he treated me. He wanted to cure me.

He said your dad was a wonderful person.

So let him go now. Your mother too.

The implantation was done perfectly for all three mothers.

And they're all healthy.

In 10 months from now, 3 more babies who are like Zi O will be born.

They'll be stronger than Zi O.

We'll have to keep injecting the drugs into them...

to make sure their cells won't suddenly start to differentiate.

This news will make the leader very happy.

If she says that these babies are angels who have descended,

the believers will give her all their money.

Right, it looks like she's been going to the villa every day.

Of course.

All three baby angels...

have answered our prayers.

They will protect you until the day they descend.

Thank you. - Thank you.

I should thank you.

10 months from now, all 3 of you will become immortal...

as the angels' mothers.

Your souls will become free, and you'll gain the divine eye,

which will show you the beginning and end of this universe.

I'm sure she's busy selling immortality, the Divinity,

and the universe to those crazy believers.

Whether you're selling gum or faith, it's definitely not an easy task.

I have huge respect for salespeople.

Just get to the point.

You promised to give me the rest of the embryos...

when the implantation is complete.

Right, I did. - Hand them over now.

I want to quit with a good severance package.

This lab and that cult... Gosh, I'm sick of everything.

Who will you sell them to?

Whoever that offers the most.

Will you be okay?

The leader won't let it go unpunished.

Yoo Na ran off with all the data, you know.
