Where are all the suitcases? The suitcase.

Why can't you ever keep things organized where they belong?

What the heck are you saying?

You took it saying that you're going to Thailand next week to play golf.

God Damn!

I'll be back in a while.

- Where do you think you're going? - I need to see Minho.

Not now!

But Minho and I promised to meet at the our institute and travel from there.

Stop saying nonsense and go pack your bag. Now!

We don't have a time, hurry up!

Ji-seon! Go on!

Oh, right!

- Ji-seon! Where are you going? - My charger!

Ji-seon!

Ji-seon! Come here!

Fast!

Honey! Look!

Let me through!

You both come here! And help me!

- What are you trying to do? - Got to block the light from spilling through here, don't you think!

You two hang on to this here!

지하실 THE BASEMENT

Are you all right?

- Ha-yeon! - Ji-seon!

DAY 1

Are you alright, Ji-seon?

Mom, are we going to die now?

Ji-seon, that's nonsense.

Your hand!

Are you okay?

For fuck's sake.

It looks fine from the outside...

But let's go to the doctor later.

We've got no power?

What are we going to do?

It's alright, Ji-seon.

We're safe as long as we're here.

What do you mean "safe"?

What about the others?

Are they all dead?

Was that really a nuclear bomb?

Have we really been nuked?

Dad, say something!

What happened?

What the hell happened?

Ji-seon.

You have to calm down.

What does this mean?

Read this.

I've got it, too.

You've left it somewhere again, haven't you? Typical.

What?

- The travel bag with the clothes... - You didn't bring it?

- Damn it... - Just great!

Let me see.

Urgent Rewrite: "Fellow Koreans, when you receive information about a nuclear attack, evacuate to an underground facility as soon as possible."

"After 2 weeks of evacuation, the strength of anti-magnetic ability is 1/1,000 It is possible to have an overall movement at the level.

Hey, listen. Let's endure it for just two weeks.

Then we'll be able to go outside.

The government wouldn't lie through an emergency message.

Nuclear attack...

Then did everyone really die?

it's unbelievable.

How can it all end just like that?

Nothing's ended. There's nothing to worry about.

You'll be able to go to school and meet your friends again.

What about grandma and grandpa?

Hello? Mom? Can you hear me?

Yes. Not too well, though...

We're okay...

We came to the basement of the house.

Thank God. I'm so glad.

Your father and I are at the evacuation shelter at the communications office.

Thank God! Everyone in the family is safe...

I imagine there are other people there, too?

Did you bring everything you need?

What? It's

We've got no power here and...

Mom, just a second...

Are you okay, grandma? And grandpa, too?

Is that you, Ji-seon?

I hurt my leg...

- Jung-sook... - Yes, it was...

- It was quite a shock wasn't it? - Dongbaek, are you okay?

I'll take good care of Ha-yeon and Ji-seon...

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Why did it get cut?

It's not working anymore...

But shouldn't it have not worked since the nuclear bomb explodes?

How did it get connected?

There are several control centers all over the country.

So it may have been working momentarily.

Just like they back up data in case something happens.

Can't we go to the shelter now like the others?

It's suffocating.

Dad, do something!

Ji-seon, please. How do you suggest we go out right now?

There's radiation everywhere.

It's still there even if we can't see it.

Grandpa and grandma are fine,

So let us, too, endure it here for 2 weeks.

No, I don't want to!

Let me see what we have in the basement.

What is it?

TOEIC material I studied in college.

You still haven't thrown that away?

Why does the phone work but not the radio?

I don't know. Perhaps the station got destroyed.

Dad...

Dad...

I want to pee.

- What? - I said I want to pee...

Um... Okay...

Don't you remember when you were a baby?

You're the only person who ever used it. Who else?

Dad.

- Yes? - The light.

Right.

Don't look. You too, mom. I'm serious.

Pour it down the drain when you're done.

You bought thousands of dollars' worth of camping equipment anhd made such a fuss about it,

just to end up going camping once or twice a year, didn't you?

Only now they're being put to good use...

Do you really have to put it that way?

It's not like I bought it to use it just by myself...

You always do and enjoy everything by yourself.

Have you ever taken your family on a trip?

Every weekend, you just go play golf.

What did you ever do for your family?

Next week's plan to go golfing to Thailand with the CEOs of executive companies of autonomous driving...

I probably won't be able to go...

What? You are kidding me?

Golfing, my ass.

You're really thinking of that in this situation?

You think others have nothing better to do?

I have to start rehearsing the show next week, too.

Show?

You never mentioned it.

I so did.

You never listen to me, that's why you had no idea.

I told you 2 weeks ago.

I'm so sick of this...

Enough, both of you.

Can't you hold a normal conversation without arguing?

It's because your father is always so immature.

Cut it out. Do you really have to be like that now?

Your father always annoys me so much.

What did I do?

Forget about it.

DAY 2

I think it's boiling...

Try putting it in now.

No.

What's the matter?

Sure, we're leaving this place in a few days...

But still...water is most critical now.

We have to save on it as much as possible.

Okay.

Just let this one time go.

Mom! It's just too salty.

Ji-seon, lets save on water, like your father says.

Eat a little bit.

How careless of you...

Ha-yeon!

Ha-yeon!

Ha-yeon!

Are you home?

Are you home?

Ha-yeon! Are you home?

Ha-yeon! It's me. Sangme's mother.

- It's Sangme's mom. - Shh. Quiet down.

I can't reach either Sangme or my husband.

Could you let me in if you're in there?

I'm too scared to be home alone...

What are you doing? Let's open the door for her.

Hold on!

Ha-yeon. Let me in if you're there.

Dad, are you serious?

Ha-yeon! Open up if you're there!

- Let go of me. I'm opening the door. - Listen to me, Ji-seon.

I said let go!

Don't go.

God damn it!

I said let go! Let go of me!

- Let go of me! - Just let her go!

- Don't go. - No!

You'll die if you go!

It's hot!

Too hot...

Mom!
