THE WONDERFOOLS

EPISODE 8 THE GUARDIANS OF HAESEONG CITY PART 2

Kim Pal-ho, our holy shepherd,

was unjustly martyred.

What do we do, Eun Chae-ni?

The world's… gonna end.

I might be a broke loser, but I'm also a husband, and a father!

The head of my family.

Cheong is so young. She's only 14 years old!

If I knew the apocalypse was really coming,

I would have gone into debt to buy her a new CD player.

Okay, so why are you crying?

Just explain that to her.

But what would that do?

The whole world is ending!

They're Wunderkinder, and we're nothing but defective products.

You're right.

Telling her wouldn't change a single thing.

But right now, we gotta shine up our shoes.

It's time to dance.

What?

Huh?

-Oh shit! Okay. -

Uh, hey, stay back!

Stay back!

I'll slice you in half!

She'll slice you in half!

-They call me Train Wreck! -And I'm Nightmare!

Stop!

-Go away! -Stop!

Hey! Hey! I mean it.

Stay back!

Eun Chae-ni, could you take us somewhere else, please?

Yeah, that would be good.

Except that I think I ate the last pack of coffee stuff to save Ro-bin, though.

Oh!

I wish I could say goodbye to my wife and daughter. I won't see them ever again.

It's okay!

Don't try to comfort me!

They're all that matters.

They're the reason I work so hard, day and night, my whole life.

And what do I get in return?

Is it my fault I got laid off in the crisis?

Could have I done anything about that?

I'm a victim of circumstances here!

Why the hell am I the only one treated like a loser?

How about some respect? Is that asking too much?!

That's an improvement, isn't it? That was getting noisy.

Don't take him seriously. He gets upset, and then he's fine.

Maybe he could be a bit less conceited.

SON GYEONG-HUN MOON MI-HUI

Chae-ni, you little shit.

All right, guys.

Who's gonna come at me first, huh?

The Maybe Mr. Heo from the corner store?

I'm ready for ya, so watch out! You're coming with me. You hear me?

And if you lose your right hand in the process,

who's gonna flip the

Oh.

Grab her.

Oh! Wait a minute!

Huh? Get back! Hey! Don't you dare touch me.

Shit! Too many! Shit!

I'll hurt you! Let go, goddamn it! Stop it!

What the hell? Let go!

No! I'll kill you!

They're non-believers!

Protect our temple!

She's my granddaughter!

Get away from her right now!

Grandma, is that you?

Eun Chae-ni?

Grandma, you're here!

Oh! Take this from me. It's my Eunie!

Oh, my girl!

Oh, look at that face.

You look just disgusting.

Oh, Grandma, you look worse than I do.

When's the last time you slept, huh?

Look at how dark your eye bags are. You need to slow down!

Do you own the Hearty House?

Huh?

Oh goodness.

What are you doing here?

It's you.

I thought you went to see your mother.

Why choose us?

Why were we the ones you stole to experiment on?

No particular reason, to be honest.

It all began with the trivial human desire to live longer and longer lives,

to one day live forever.

It's the way of the world.

What may seem like a… great feat

usually has, at its heart, nothing more than shallow greed,

foolish envy, and, of course, our need to feel important.

Put simply, children were the best subjects for our experimentation.

And you happened to be one of the ones we got.

That's it.

There is no meaning or reason.

None at all.

Life is governed by coincidence

and trivial, insignificant desires

until we return to the void.

Trivial?

So, all of our suffering doesn't matter to you?

Out of 72 children,

50% manifested,

but only half of those ever actually did anything special.

And in only one, we discovered the Heart of Eternity.

With that, we had the result we'd hoped for.

That's when I had an idea.

If we increase the number of test subjects, well,

wouldn't our success rate for Hearts of Eternity

remain consistent?

What exactly does that mean?

Hold on. Are you going to give that drug to all of Haeseong-si?

God has always brought forth destruction and chaos in order to birth new life.

I see.

You really are crazy.

What about all the children who died?

Out of the 78 children,

half of them died without manifesting anything.

And then there were the ones who did manifest,

but died from the physical mutations.

What about all the innocent kids who died from that drug?

You'd be willing to sentence an entire population to death

on the chance you might have one successful outcome?

It's not the people who die that change the course of history.

It's the survivors like you.

You're more evil than I thought.

Bring the Child of Eternity back to me.

Together, we'll create a new order. A new world without the sorrow of death.

Ko Eun-san,

you are the next stage of evolution.

I kept thinking about it on my way over here.

Could I do it?

Could I actually bring myself to kill him?

What a shame.

I was always very fond of you.

Father…

Oh my God!

Sensei's in trouble.

Grandma.

-I need you to take care of things here. -What is it? Where are you going to go?

I'm not sure if this is gonna work,

but here goes nothing.

Uh… Send me to Sensei.

Please…

Come on!

Holy shit, it's hot! What the hell? Huh?

Sensei! Sensei!

Is that you?
