Grid (그리드)

We covered the entire Earth with the Grid in 2004.

They say if the solar wind had come a year earlier,

two-thirds of mankind would have died.

If it weren't for this girl...

We wouldn't be here now.

Magnetic fields can no longer protect the earth.

I've seen the world without the Grid.

I don't think going back in time is only for people in the 21st century.

We've been waiting for this person for as long as 24 years.

We need to see it through.

The Korean government may be able to do it in 2021.

If I meet the founder of the Grid?

Open this!

Then I've got to ask this question.

How is time travel possible?

What's the future of mankind?

As the solar wind that came around this time yesterday

damaged the ionosphere,

the world is currently facing problems

such as communication failure and power outages.

According to experts,

this explosion caused materials on the surface of the sun to release as well,

so strong UV and X-ray radiations might reach the Earth's surface.

Therefore, you should refrain from going out--

Hey. Are you home?

Don't be scared. It's nothing.

Yes. I'll soon...

Saeha. Can you hear me?

SON

Saeha.

Can you hear...

Mom...

Mom!

OUT OF SERVICE AREA

Everyone, get inside!

Go back to the classroom, everyone!

Hurry up!

Get your things and get inside safely.

JUNG SAEBYEOK

Jung Saebyeok! Hurry!

Rumors that all species on Earth will extinct are groundless.

Even if the Earth is exposed to the solar wind...

If we lived in the Stone Age,

even in cases of huge solar flares,

the damage will be only limited to fires and injuries.

But we're living in the digital era with cable and radio communication,

where everything can be controlled by pressing one button.

The biggest problem would be an "internet apocalypse."

If we lost the internet, everything in this world will halt.

Importing will be disrupted.

People will suffer from famine on a wide scale

not because of food shortage,

but because every plane and ship in the world

will stop operating.

Even if we restore it,

it's no use if the export countries fail to restore it.

The first quarter of 2005 has only just begun

and the loss amounts to one billion dollars.

Nine thousand households are left without power

after Hydro-Québec's transport systems caught on fire.

Sir. It's all set.

Now all we have to do is connect it.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, sir. We'll begin.

Thank you.

We hope so too.

Shield transmission is starting.

Will it work?

It must.

That's right.

Three seconds left to connect the Grid.

Two, one. Connect.

Did something go wrong?

What's the problem?

Why isn't it working?

Did we connect it properly?

Did we fail?

I think we need to check.

Did we make any mistakes?

Did we fail?

Why isn't it working?

Hey, guys. It looks fine now.

Really?

Gosh, it's a relief.

-Gosh. -I was really scared.

Hey, Jung Saebyeok! Are you okay?

The northern hemisphere all connected.

-It's fully running. -Southern hemisphere is also connected.

The magnetic fields are connecting to the coronal loops.

Sir. It's a success.

Please tell him that it's all connected.

Yes, it's a success.

Thank you.

Good job, everyone.

Good job, gosh.

Good job.

Gosh, it was really...

She was right...

after all.

1. A NETWORK OF LINES THAT CROSS EACH OTHER

2. HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES TO LOCATE POINTS ON MAP

A SHIELD CREATED WITH ARTIFICIALLY EXPANDED MAGNETIC FIELDS

TO PROTECT MANKIND FROM THE SOLAR WIND

EPISODE 1

OCTOBER 30, 2021

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Hello?

I need a set of garbage bags, 10L ones.

Thank you.

Ah!

Hello. 911 Emergency Services.

Someone is unconscious here.

I'm at a convenience store near Green Apartment in Pyosudong.

That one.

When I walked in, I smelled nothing but cup noodles.

And I think he was holding a beer can when he walked out of the store later.

You thought he was a part-timer at this store,

but he was holding a beer can?

I thought he was a part-timer cleaning up or something.

Here's the cup ramyeon the suspect supposedly ate.

This man.

This fellow?

Welcome.

What? Look at him. He paid cash.

Did he plan to kill him? Or did he not have a credit card?

The victim is saying something here.

Did they know each other? You think it was a grudge killing?

What is he saying? Rewind it.

"Excuse me, sir. You can't drink alcohol in here."

-Who? -He told the suspect

not to drink alcohol in the store.

The victim did? How do you know?

That's what he said.

Right. I think he's right.

When he opened the can here,

the victim said something looking at the table.

He must've heard the can opening.

-Can I go now, then? -Sorry?

-Hey, can he? -Yes, I got his number.

All right.

What about the fingerprints?

-Well... -My gosh. It's all smudged.

-Just a minute. -We can't use any of these.

Gosh, this is not good.

Jeez.

His fingers must be covered with calluses.

He must've done hard labor for a long time.

People who do hard labor are the hardest to identify. Jeez.

Huh?

-Hey, keep playing. -Yes, sir.

He's saying something again here.

Should I rewind it?

Wait, sir.

You can read people's lips, can't you?

So?

The victim told the suspect not to drink inside, but he ignored it.

Here. What is the victim saying here?

It seems that the suspect heard him say something

and followed him to the storage room.

I'll show you again.

"What an ill-bred punk. Did he grow up without parents?"

I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry.

Is there no security camera in here?

There is one. But it's behind a box.

That man bought garbage bags here.

I'm sure he doesn't have any plans.
