911. What's your emergency?

Hello?

This is 911. Go ahead.

This is Suh Young-chul, who used to work at Chains Bio.

Today at the Doongwoori Building I plan to run an experiment.

Excuse me? Can you repeat that, please?

Ah, not an experiment.

It's closer to terrorism.

What?

That's right. A highly contagious bioterror attack.

I tested the pathogen in my body.

And it was a success.

I am the only vaccine that can stop this outbreak.

Organisms of the same species that,

for a certain time, live in the same place

Why are you waiting for me?

You're 10 minutes late. What was it this time?

It was nothing.

Traffic was bad,

so the taxi driver tried to let me off across the street.

So ?

Yeah, these things happen.

It's okay if I say it, but how can he say that to me?

So ?

It's not what I wanted.

I said, however long it takes,

drop me off at the spot I chose.

What?

So it's my fault again?

Welcome to the Chains Blo Conference,

a leading platform for future technology.

Thank you.

You brought the invitation I gave you?

...and now we'll hear from CEO Kang Woo-cheol.

Please give him a round of applause.

Is that the guy?

The one I should grovel to if I want to work here?

If only you got along with your dean,

this wouldn't be necessary.

Sure, my fault again.

But don't you care how that dean

treated his graduate students?

No, I don't.

Well, I'm sure he's a jerk.

And you couldn't tolerate that.

So you got on his bad side, and didn't get reappointed.

I'm just curious...

Why are you so fixated on your ex-wife's career

10 years after the divorce?

Because you have no friends.

You keep doing things that make people hate you.

Does your wife know you look after your ex-wife like this?

My wife is not as sensitive as you are.

She's probably even concerned for you.

What a cool wife.

You're a great match. I'm happy for you.

If I say our company's main business

is collective intelligence,

people might wonder,

"Why is a bio company,

rather than an IT company, studying that topic?"

Collective intelligence is a common term

in the field of sociology,

but the first person to use the term

was an entomologist who studied ants,

William Morton Wheeler.

Collective intelligence is a key force driving evolution.

You know the yellow slime mold 'Physarum polycephalum'?

These fellows upgrade themselves

through information exchange

and optimize the direction of their growth towards food.

Although not multicellular organisms,

they can learn and remember.

Inspired by these remarkable traits,

we were able to dramatically improve

the production of organic semiconductors.

Let's give a hand to our little collaborators.

This guy's more interesting than I expected.

This isn't some lame company that makes copycat drugs.

It's a serious, enterprising firm.

After I introduced you,

they even sent another invitation for you.

Actually, that's why I came.

I was curious what this message meant.

To Prof. Kwon: Imperfect communication,

the source of all tragedy

...so this chip helps damaged nerves carry information.

We injected it into a rat with severed spinal nerves

and paralyzed hind legs,

and as you can see, just a moment later,

It was able to move no different from a healthy rat.

If we continue with this research,

and apply it to the human brain,

I believe it may enable a direct transfer

of information between individuals.

When that happens,

we may live in a world where

you can't think bad thoughts in front of others.

Thank you, CEO Kang.

Please give him a round of applause!

Next, to introduce Chains Bio's global market strategy...

It's your first vacation in ages.

So why spend it with the younger brother you see every day?

This way I can get some fresh air, go shopping...

You know how stifling it is working at a computer all day?

Wow, look at all the camping stuff they have these days.

I could just live outdoors.

The clothes are nice, too.

Should we go camping? On your next vacation?

The two of us? - Yeah, let's go.

We'll grill some meat...

That'd be great!

We can go, why not?

That's great. I'll buy some equipment. SECURITY

You get back to work. Lunchtime will end soon.

No, I'll head back after you. - No need.

The facilities here are great. So convenient.

Don't I work my ass off so I can live in civilization?

You always go on about civilization,

why do you want to go camping?

Camping is civilization, too.

Go on. See you at home.

I'll look around before going.

Selamat tinggal.

Take care..- Yeah.

Take care. Yeah.

Hello, sir. I enjoyed your presentation.

Oh, Professor Han.

This is Professor Kwon Se-jeong, who I mentioned last time.

Thank you for inviting me.

And for this note on my invitation.

Just a moment.

Hello?

Mr. Kang Woo-cheol?

Yes. Who's speaking?

I'm Lee Bong-seok, from the Seoul Counterterrorism Squad.

How can I help you?

You know a man named Suh Young-chul?

This call seems important. Let's talk later.

Ah, sure. We'll wait.

You sure he's the one who sent this invitation?

What are you doing? Go after him.

What?

Just hand him your card

and say "I'm Kwon Se-jeong," that's all. ,

Why are you looking for Dr. Suh?

We received a call

that Dr. Suh is planning a terrorist attack

in the building hosting your conference.

I think I saw him today at the conference.

Are you certain?

Not 100% certain.

He was standing too far away.

Our team will arrive there soon.

If you see him again, call me immediately at this number.

All right, I will.

Nice speech, Woo-cheol.

So impressive.

Information exchange through organic semiconductors?

You know how hard I researched that.

Consciousness in a multilateral network.

Well, if that existed,

no one would be betrayed and kicked out like me, right?

You freak.

The technology you researched can't be used anywhere.

Bro.

I'm taking humanity to the next level.

Enabling a second cognitive revolution.

You know what?

You...

are just a psycho.

Get lost, you loser!

But when you hired me,

you said my research was great.

That you respected my research.

It was all just an act, so you could steal my research.

And now... psycho?

You stole research from that psycho.

You just want to make humans go extinct, don't you?

Not extinct.

It's a birth.

The birth of a new humanity.

Just imagine it.

Perfect communication will be possible.

All the byproducts of crass individualism,

jealousy, rivalry, suspicion...

Those bizarre losses that arise from unstable communication.

That's what I'm trying to stop.

Wow!

You crazy freak.

Give it a try.

It's got nothing to do with me.

I'm clocking out, so good luck with that.

I want you to be the link between me and the new humanity.

What the hell are you doing?

Research.

You goddamned maniac!

Hey, look at this.

Hey mister!

Shouldn't we call 911?
