L.U.C.A.: The Beginning (루카: 더 비기닝)

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGIONS,

AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL.

WE MADE SURE THE CHILD ACTORS WHO APPEAR IN THIS EPISODE...

WERE SAFE AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF THROUGHOUT THE SHOOT.

Baby. Don't forget. You're not a monster.

PREVIOUSLY

What? You don't remember again?

You've done it once.

Let's make another thing like this.

If we don't have something by the next sacrifice,

shut down the lab.

All of them are either dead or missing.

Hey, you punk!

Can a person do that with their bare hands?

- What happened? - What was that?

Zi O, you punk.

- It's Z-0. - It's a miracle.

Bring him some drinks or something.

You should thank him.

It's okay. I have money.

This is from our team's budget.

You're on our team.

That intel is from the police.

Dagyeong Resources is a waste management company.

Long time no see. It has been a year, right?

- Run away. - Don't do it!

Darn it.

What... What?

EPISODE 2

8, SAEHANRO 54-GIL

Sir. 8, Saehanro 54-gil.

Please request backup.

Get away.

Keep running.

If you can even run.

Why are you doing this to me?

Because you won't listen.

I said let's go quietly.

There are too many people watching.

This isn't how we do things.

My goodness.

Shouldn't we help?

- My gosh. - What happened?

- What's going on? - Look over there.

My gosh.

What happened?

- My goodness. - What's going on?

Gu Reum!

Gu Reum. Hey.

Gu Reum, are you okay?

Darn it.

This is 8, Saehanro 54-gil. An officer got hurt.

Call an ambulance now!

- My goodness. - Oh, gosh.

What happened here?

911 EMERGENCY

So he's at the hospital?

We have our guys waiting there.

He's connected to a ventilator.

According to the doctors, he might not make it.

Did you do that to him?

Did you try to kill him for what he did to your arm?

It wasn't on purpose.

You've already dealt with him once!

Did you not know what you had to do to catch him?

If you were having trouble, you should've reported it to us!

You put me in charge of what happens on the field.

You darn punk.

What happened?

What happened?

Things got a little complicated.

He's at the hospital right now. We need to check the situation.

How is his condition?

He's in a critical state.

We have no time to check the situation!

They can't fix Z-0 there.

We must bring him in.

We need to make sure he's alive first.

He can't get a blood transfusion there!

They won't have a matching blood type.

But he won't die, right?

Although his cells have the ability to regenerate faster than humans,

he can still die if he's in critical condition.

What if he dies?

If we bring him in before his cells die,

there might be something we can do.

Do you think you can bring him here?

The detectives are waiting in front of his hospital room.

Bring him here.

If he died, bring me his body. In the freshest state possible.

Okay, sir.

And take Yoo Na with you.

My teammates can handle this.

Take her with you.

She's been upgraded, so she'll come in handy.

You should get some rest. You'll be busy soon.

What do you mean?

Did you eat?

I'm fasting, so I haven't eaten.

Will I really be able to use my leg again?

We'll give you a stronger leg than before.

It doesn't need to be strong.

Being able to walk is enough for me.

It's not enough for me.

What are the odds of success if I get this surgery?

Didn't I tell you?

You're not getting surgery.

It's an experiment.

Say hello. He's the research director.

Your leg is in very bad condition.

Can you fix it?

Didn't you hear?

We don't fix things here. We improve them.

Don't think too much about it.

You put me in charge of your life.

Let's proceed.

Isn't it a bit too hot to run in this weather?

I wanted to test my legs.

How much did you run?

12km.

That seems good enough. Let's go.

Right now?

My car is parked in the parking lot way over there.

Bring it here. We don't have time.

It's going to take some time.

The parking lot is 12km away.

Follow me. We'll take my car.

- What about my car? - You can get it later.

DAEYOUNG HOSPITAL

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

This way.

Can't you take him somewhere else?

Gu Reum is here.

How could you bring him here?

He's only going to be here for one night.

What if they come looking for him here?

No one knows.

No one knows that he's here.

Are you sure?

Let's just have him sleep here tonight. He'll leave tomorrow.

Then it'll all be over.

Mom.

Oh, you woke up. You should go back to sleep.

Dad, who's that?

Go back to bed. I'll tell you tomorrow. Come on, let's go.

Mom, is that my little brother?

Hey.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

What's your name?

What's wrong?

Don't do that.

Don't! You're scaring me!

Dad! Dad!

Sir, you're here.

- Where? - In the ICU.

The Intensive Care Unit? What on earth happened?

I'm sorry, sir.

She was already hurt, so she should've been on standby.

- Where is the ICU? - This way, sir.

Those jerks suddenly jumped over.

We were trying to lose them, but my door wouldn't open.

The front seat door opened though.

I told them to wait, but they suddenly...

If you told her to wait, what's she doing in the ICU?

The suspect is in the ICU.

I thought you were asking about the suspect.

- Where's Gu Reum? - In the Emergency Room.

What happened that she ended up in the Emergency Room?

It's a mild concussion. The doctor said we don't need to worry.

Captain, wait.

It's this way.

Are you taking that off or putting it on?

Are you worried about me? Or are you just here to watch?

I told you not to get hurt.

- It's just a little scratch. - Lie down.

I'm fine. Where's the suspect?

Just worry about yourself. Lie down.

I said I'm fine. Captain!

His cervical spine is fractured, and his organs are ruptured.

The doctors said there isn't much they can do.

They don't think he can make it through the night.

Do we have security footage from the scene?

The power went out at the time of the incident.

And the hard drive got busted, so everything's gone.

Why would a power outage wipe the hard drive?

I know. It's odd.

Any dashcam footage from vehicles in the vicinity?

That's also odd.

All the memory cards have been wiped out.

Cyber Crimes Unit is working on restoring them.

There's something else that's odd.

The vehicles around the scene got pushed in all directions...

as if a bomb had gone off. Weird, right?

Do you know what's really weird?

They can't transfuse him as they can't figure out his blood type.

We've sent his blood sample to the National Forensic Service,

but even all the doctors are weirded out by it.

- Hey. - Yes?

Are you a reporter?
