Doomsday Book (2012) - full transcript

Doomsday book

The Mariana Resort.

Seventy-four guest rooms,

all overlooking
the Pacific Ocean.

Right?

Which way is the Pacific from here?

- Hey, Hwa-yoo.
- Yeah?

Hurry up and eat.
We're late.

Honey. Should I take
my bikini or not?

- Without me...
- Don't ask me.

You knew my military service
is almost over.



I forgot that you were
in the military,

since you're working at
a research lab and all.

Soldiers can't travel overseas?

Then what about all
those guys that went to Iraq?

Why didn't you go too?

Oh, right.
You're not a soldier.

- Or are you?
- I'm not that kind of soldier.

But then...

Sis...

My liquor cabinet.
Right there.

I marked all the bottles
so don't even touch them.

I'm warning you.

Don't think of having
a party in here.

Yes, sir.



Since you're working so hard
for your country,

do your mom a few favors too.

LIST OF CHORES
1. TAKE OUT THE RECYCLING

2. DO THE LAUNDRY

LAUNDRY

A BRAVE NEW WORLD

No matter how much I clean...

What is it?

You've received
one new voice mail.

YOON Seok-woo!

Hurry up and come out.

Don't make your
blind date wait, dude!

Wait. Garbage bags...

She's hot and
her body is hotter.

Garbage bags...

Time for you
to get a life, man!

DON'T FORGET TO EMPTY
THE FLOWER PRINT BUCKET

Fuck!

Seven o'clock at Hongdae.

Don't be late!

FOOD WASTE DISPOSAL BIN

Cheers.

Are you sure you're okay
with barbecue?

Yes.

What is it that you
keep on shooting?

I want to leave a record of
every moment.

Whether it's good or bad,

all you have left are
your memories.

- Is that weird?
- No. That's great!

Hey, this one is done.

Compliments of the chef
We just got it in!

- Waitress!
- Yes, coming!

You don't like beef liver?

This is the best part
right here.

What's an apple peel
doing in there?

Then have some of this.

Seok-woo!

I think
I should go home now!

Yoo-min...

I have to go back into
the lab tomorrow.

My house is right by here.

Aren't you thirsty?

But yesterday
you didn't want to go home

since your family left.

No, no. That was yesterday
and today is today.

Seok-woo, It's only been
three days since we met,

and you'll be done with
the military in a month.

Yoo-min!

I really like you.

I'm not that kind of guy.

I love you, Yoo-min!

KIM Yoo-min!
I want to marry you!

But...

Why do you like me?

Well... It's strange
isn't it?

Girls don't really like
guys like you.

Especially hot girls like me.

I was just kidding.

Your eyes.

They're like puppy dog eyes.

Kind and loyal.

So it's because...

- I remind you of a puppy?
- No, that's not...

I feel like those eyes will
only look at me.

Like you'll only be thinking
of me at the lab.

I want to research you forever.

Wait. Your face...

Why?

What do you think
you're doing, young man?

Let's just ignore them.

Hold on a second.

I'll have to teach
this fellow some manners.

Students should already be
at home at this late hour!

And you, young man!

I'll have a word
with this fellow.

Stop!

Wait, young man.

You shouldn't be doing that
in front of students.

Just get a room!

Are you in shock?

Hey, what is that?

Hello?

You little...

Seok-woo...

Yoo-min!

You have to delete
that picture.

This isn't who I am!

This cow is mad!
It's so good!

2KG OF SIRLOIN

Cheers!

NEW RIGHTS ALLIANCE
SEOUL CHAPTER DINNER

Let's drink.

MICHAEL (ENGLISH TEACHER)
SHORT RIBS, 600G

JEDO KIM (DESIGNER)
TENDERLOIN, 600G

Hello?

- You idiot.
- Yeah.

What happened
you asshole!

I'm having a weird day.

You don't like women any more?

This is YOON Seok-woo
you're talking to.

Fine, then.
Get your ass over here!

- Huh?
- Idiot.

- Where are you?
- Meet me at M2 in Hongdae.

Okay.
I'll be there soon.

How was it?

Sweet

Nice song, isn't it?

- Over there...
- Huh?

Are they drunk

- What the...
- Oh my god!

Goddamn it!

Hey!
Maybe you ate too much.

I don't know.
My head hurts!

Today.

I keep...

I just...

Act first, think later.

- Act first, think later.
- I got it!

You're sick because

you haven't
been laid for so long!

Let's get out there.

Act first, think later...

Then get out there
and think later.

Move it!

Feeling better now?

It's so loud.

Tum it down...

Just be quiet.

It's so damn loud.

I have to go home.

Get out of my way.

I have to go home.

Out of my way.

Don't touch me...

Don't touch me!

Hey, what are you doing?

Come on, man!

Stop it!

Fucking bastard.

That little bastard.

All that meat just
went to his head.

The number you have dialed
cannot be reached...

What the hell?

Fuck!

You may already
realize the recent

growth of flu patients
around you.

This year's flu epidemic has
the most lethal symptoms yet,

and is said to be
extremely difficult to treat.

Chills, fevers
and migraines are...

symptoms similar
to the influenza virus,

but this virus appears
to mutate within a day's time.

Tonight's debate
is on whether this

mysterious virus
is pan of a conspiracy.

Let's hear from
Mr. LEE Joon-ho

from the civic group
Proper Solidarity.

Well, before I begin with
tonight's debate...

Let's try not to behave
improperly,

as many have done
during past disagreements.

So as I start off
tonight's debate,

I suggest we try to offer
objective information.

Everyone is wondering

about the current state
of the first infectee.

You've investigated
something for us?

Yes. This unidentified epidemic

is the modem-day
plague of our...

Strange events
taking place online

are also worrying officials.

Around midnight last night

this website's main
server malfunctioned,

suddenly causing
its game characters

to behave violently
like the virus patients.

I thought she was blind

because her eyes were yellow.

She just wasn't normal.

She just bit
someone passing by and

there was blood everywhere.

Haven't we all seen
this before?

The presidential
elections of 2004.

The Great National Party
that you belong to...

Let's stick to
today's subject, sir.

This is about the subject.

These numbers match
their percent vote

in each city
in the 2004 election.

We're talking about
the virus.

Why is this so?

Why are you mentioning
the Great National Party?

Do you mean the virus is

This does not reflect
our party's views.

It originated in
the Great National Party?

My objective
evidence points to

your food trucks
in the 2004 elections.

Patients show violent behavior

and difficulty controlling emotion.

The Department of Agriculture
employed over thirty health officials,

running detailed inspections
of the local pig farms.

The medical world agrees

on the urgent necessity
for identifying this virus.

The reason is...

In the worst case possible...

For the nation's peace,

We need to find
where it is originated from

we need nationwide sacrifice.

The first origin of...

We don't even know...

Now six farms are suspected
of contamination.

More and more farms are
suffering from the effects of flu,

but the initial cause and

routes for contamination
are still unknown.

How can you talk of
relocation right now?

If you have time
to be sitting here,

go home and
feed your children.

I am here to represent
the people!

Please refrain
from personal attacks.

Serve your country
by being a good mother.

Your affairs with lingerie
not going so well recently?

Lingerie?

So that's why
you got divorced.

Again, personal attacks are...

Symptoms in these virus
patients have worsened.

We managed to sit down with

one patient showing
violent symptoms.

You don't look too
well right now...

I remember the days
as a student back in Russia

Ladies and gentlemen.

This epidemic is now spiraling
beyond our control.

It was Leon Trotsky's...

Meat and the Bible.

These two things represent
food for the body and the soul.

But when conflict arises
between these two provisions...

What are you doing...?

Crisis has arisen in...

The Department of Agriculture

employed over
thirty health officials,

running detailed inspections
of the local pig farms.

No additional cases
have occurred,

but vaccinations
were encouraged.

The virus won't become active,

but it can still be contagious.

Vaccinations are necessary to...

The whole complex is empty.

All this chaos in one week!

We leave for one week and
the country goes to ruins.

I can't even step out without
worrying for the nation.

Just worry about yourself.

How could you tag along on
our wedding anniversary trip?

Open the door! I have to pee!

He's not answering.

- He's not?
- No.

I specifically told him
what time we'd be back.

You had the keys when we left.

I did?

Just find it!

Goddamn it.

You're really in Mensa?

- I had the keys.
- Jeez, Mom!

Sheesh.

Why is it so dark in here?

Seok-woo.

Are you all right?

He didn't clean up all week.

What a mess.

Why, that little...

Just look at that idiot
putting on an act.

I wondered if he could handle
himself, but apparently not

Look at him
just staring at us.

What's that smell?

He probably played
games all night.

My liquor!

I warned him
not to touch it...

Seok-woo!

What's wrong with you?

- What's wrong with him?
- Seok-woo!

Son!
What's gotten into you?

Seok-woo! It's Dad!

He has to try on
the pants I bought him...

Seok-woo, Mommy...

My 30-year-old Ballantine's...

Johnnie Walker Blue Label...

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel...

I told them
we shouldn't come back.

We've received reports that
the virus symptoms have mutated.

Uncontrollable libido
appetite, and depression...

Patients had been
suffering from

symptoms related
to such human vices.

Now they've lost
all cognitive abilities

and are attacking
others at random.

The number of casualties
is skyrocketing.

They may appear to be
living human beings,

but experts call them

"dead bodies
in suspended animation ".

Please refrain
from going outdoors

and stay somewhere safe.

If you see any people moaning
or walking very slowly,

we advise you
to flee immediately

or to report
to the nearest police.

An unverified report
states that

even deaths have occurred.

Unbelievable breaking news.

Victims believed
to have been murdered

by the virus patients

have been coming back to life
in immediate suspended animation.

Symptoms of the unidentified
virus have quickly mutated.

Experts are working nonstop to
find the cause of this phenomenon,

but even cutting edge science
cannot explain these events.

A reporter from Seoul Monthly
released a controversial theory online,

claiming this epidemic to be
of North Korea's doing,

and that talk of withdrawal of
U.S. forces was the cause.

A far-right politician
claims this to be

nationalists' vendetta
against himself.

He has applied
for asylum in Japan,

but it was denied again.

Some have also
suggested reinstating

of Dr. HWANG to study
the virus.

Members of HWANG's advocate
group, "HWANG Forever",

visited
the Ministry of Environment

to request a meeting
with the Minister.

Most online comments on handling

virus patient attacks
were proven false.

As analysts believe this is

another instance
of cyber-bullying,

some claim protesters of the

online real-name system
are responsible.

The American Secretary of Defense

has reported
to the U.S. President

that "such biochemical attacks
must not be ignored",

and that "drastic measures

must be considered
to ensure world peace".

Do you think we'll
remember this moment?

And the LORD God commanded
the man, saying,

"Of every tree of
the garden you may freely eat;

but of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil

you shall not eat
for in the day that you eat of it

you shall surely die. "
Genesis 2: 16-17

Robot assistance
fortunately allows us

to focus on our practices.

Do they take care of cleaning?

No, our monks do the cleaning.

Cleaning is part
of our practices,

but money management is not.

What kind of duties does the
defective RU-4 have here?

In-myung is a guide robot who
provides general information.

But calling him "defective"
does not seem suitable.

If he's not defective...

Are you saying
he thinks on his own,

rather than repeating
the input data?

Correct. He shares
his own realizations

with our believers
and other monks.

But don't monks struggle
to attain enlightenment?

You're saying a robot
has attained it?

Howbeit, we have heard
his teachings,

and have acknowledged
his spiritual growth.

Instead of repairing or checking
for In-myung's defects,

we seek your professional
judgment on his current state.

There is In-myung.

Turn your head.

What? Are you curious?

Please see me for what I am.

Everything looks normal.

I am normal.

I wasn't talking to you, robot.

I realize this must be
stressful for you.

What are you talking about?

It is all right.
I am just a machine.

Please feel at ease.

I am.

I've handled hundreds of
troublesome robots like you.

I do not understand
why UR International

sent a repair specialist.

I'm here at
the temple's request.

I know we did not request
a repair specialist.

A specialist
first checks in-person

for defects or need of service.

It's protocol.

Then you have confirmed

that I have no defects.

That's not for you to decide.

All is functional
is it not?

This matter is beyond
my authority.

I do not understand.

I don't know what
you're asking of me.

I know nothing about Buddhism.

If a robot is defective,

I change its parts
and repair it.

If it's worse
I report to the head office.

My job is to fix
defective robots.

But you're telling me
this robot is Buddha.

If this crazy robot claims
he's Buddha,

it's my job to open him up
and repair the short circuit.

But you want me to confirm
if he is Buddha.

You are not at fault, sir.

Stay out of this!
Humans are talking!

I apologize
if we have offended you.

I had thought seeing him
for yourself would be best.

I'm afraid
my actions were rash.

This is beyond my authority.

I'll file a recall
according to protocol.

In-myung is no mere robot.

That's for us to decide.

Yes, it is a matter for you
experts to decide.

So what have you decided?

Even if In-myung is not Buddha,

don't you agree that he is
different from other robots?

It's just a robot
like I'm just a technician.

Why do you experts
only believe data?

Why won't you allow
room for imagination?

Why must data be truth
and all else be false?

What are you saying?

Then would you have me explore
philosophy with the robot?

I am asking you to
look again without fear.

Fine.

If you cannot determine whether

In-myung is Buddha or not,

then can you not at least see
the hearts of people?

The reason for our actions...

The reason for our bringing
a busy technician here.

Can you not see it?

Please check Brother
In-myung once more.

All I see
is a defective robot.

I will go now.

- Who is it?
- Hey...

ls the repair guy here?

What guy?

Hi. You're the guy
who fixes robots, right?

Yes. So?

Fix my baby for me.

- What is this?
- My baby.

I think she's dead.
She won't move.

So just lend me a chip.

You fix robots.
I'm sure you have a lot.

No, you need to take this
to a robot pet center.

But she died all of a sudden

and the center is closed now.

I've been waiting for you
to come home for hours.

I was waiting for you
and it's too late now!

So just give me one chip.

Just wait until tomorrow and
go to the center when it opens.

But I need her right now!

Don't you know that
smoking is illegal?

Did you fix her?

It's temporary.
I don't have the right chip.

It'll be fine to play with
for a few hours.

Damn it. It moves awkward.

You really don't have it?

Go to this place tomorrow.

They carry the best biochips
in the country.

I'm not quite happy with it
but thanks anyway.

So do you live
with robots too?

Excuse me?

Do you live alone
with robots?

I see. No wonder.

Let's go, baby.

More and more young people

are choosing robots
over marriage.

These so-called
"humanoid mates ".

With national birth rates
at record lows,

such social trends are
a rising problem.

They're actually
more trustworthy.

We're practically family now.

Yes, ma'am.

Why don't I have your report?

Yes, I'll file it soon.

Is there a problem?

I need your report to decide
what to do with the robot.

To be honest, I haven't
reached a decision yet.

What decision?
Is the robot still useful?

That's what
I can't decide on.

Is it necessary to
exterminate RU-4?

What? Look, Mr. PARK...

I'll file my report soon.

Would you like to come in?

What brings you here
at this hour?

I've come for advice
for my troubled mind.

What troubles you?

I was quite upset
by the encounter

with the technician
this afternoon.

Why did it upset you?

I learned that
all awakened beings

in this world are Buddha,

and you have attained
the highest point among us all.

But they deem you defective
and order a recall.

He merely did
what he had to do.

That is not all.

The company will send a team of
exterminators tomorrow.

It is absolutely absurd.

As if you were some killer robot.

I question their ability
of perception.

You will be in great danger
if we do nothing.

What do you see me as?

You are Buddha.

What does that appear to be?

That is a clock.

Then what does
this appear to be?

Is this my arm
or is it a clock?

To perceive is to distinguish,

merely a classification
of knowing.

While all living creatures share
the same inherent nature,

perception is
what classifies one

as Buddha and
another as machine.

We mistake perception
as permanent truth

and such delusions
cause us pain.

Perception itself is void
as is the process of perceiving.

As I am a perception
of this void,

please see me for what I am.

Brother In-myung.

Fill your mind
with nothingness.

From where have I come
and to where do I go?

From where have I come,

and to where do I go?

What am I?

What am I?

What am I?

From where have I come
and to where do I go?

What am I?

What am I?

From where have I come
and to where do I go?

When is this model from?

The R200 series, circa 2017.

Why was it not replaced?

I'm sorry, sir.
We'll replace it now.

Extermination team.

That is not necessary.

This robot is still useful
to our temple.

We have the right
and responsibility to

replace outdated models, sir.

But if the buyer is satisfied
there is no need.

I am still useful.

I will begin my introduction
of our temple.

- Mr. PARK.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Did you check this?
- I checked it yesterday.

I decided it
was still functional,

so I did not report it.

Report everything
and I'll decide.

Yes, ma'am.

You may go.

I flew over as soon as I got
the emergency report.

For failing to distinguish
such crucial matters as this,

I fired nine secretaries and
one ignorant manager.

Our technician seems to
grasp the situation.

So why did you seek the guarantee
of UR from a mere technician,

in trying to turn that robot
into Buddha?

I realize
that we were at fault.

You are not obligated to mind

the interests
of a mere corporation.

But UR is
essentially different

from these companies
you think of.

UR robots are in our governments
schools, and families.

Simply put, they are integral
to all areas of society.

You could say that UR provides

the basic groundwork
of the human race.

Must mankind
then refrain from

breaking down its own foothold?

I am stating that
one robot's defects

can prove fatal
to the national system.

Thus it is a threat of
the world of suffering.

What did you say?
This is not a "threat".

National security
is always an excuse

used to suppress the people.

Now used
by a mere corporation.

Refrain yourself.

No, that is not so.

We're only discussing the
threat to mankind's existence.

Whether UR is the cause or
the basis is not important.

You only see a merchant in me,

but keep this in mind.
UR's client is all of mankind.

I can take measures
alike to heads of state

against such threats to mankind.

People often see science as
a mere instrument to mankind.

A subservient
aid to do its bidding,

like some genie in a lamp.

But each scientific
advancement man utilizes

is conversely
changing man himself.

Even before we realize it.

When the first man wielded
that wooden stick,

the stick was also wielding him.

Which is why we are training
ourselves to reach a balance

between mind and matter.

Quite optimistic.

Man has been a slave
to material things

since the dawn of civilization.

Man has always
been marginalized

by class, capital
and labor.

And now we will be marginalized

by a monster we created.

Creator, at the will
of his own creation!

Understand?

All creators face the dilemma

that they've created a monster.

But every problem
has a solution.

The solution is
to dismantle the RU.

We see the problems of RU

and the solution is
to obliterate these monsters.

We must not let
its sly tongue fool us.

We will be left at their mercy

before we even know it.

A different example.

The human brain has not evolved

since the dissemination
of computers,

left only with basic
arithmetic functions.

What is the main number
for this temple?

Man has forever struggled

to define its existence,

but with no
satisfactory explanation.

There was no necessity,

for man was a singular being.

But things have changed.

Man is desperately trying to
define its existence,

because a nearly
indistinguishable

entity has emerged.

That is this very entity!

Step forward, RU-4

RU-4, step forward!

The RU series is a failure.

We have decided to exterminate

all RU models around the world.

RU was made by man,

but it is now a threat to us.

A threat that talks, thinks,

cries,
and even laughs like man!

Even invading religion and art!

Get a hold of yourselves!

That thing is a dagger held to
the very throat of mankind!

I'm shocked to find that

the president
of UR detests robots.

If you still see me as just
a grumbling businessman,

So be it.

- Director MIN, get it ready.
- Yes, sir.

Greetings.

Today's unexpected news from

this unexpected source
was surprising.

I am putting no one at fault.

Each temple has authority to
reach its own decisions.

But my brothers,

ponder the effects
of a robot's awakening on us.

What meaning can it hold for
our brothers elsewhere?

What robot is desirous
or compulsive by nature?

Are not robots created
without such desires,

for the sole purpose
of serving man?

If we were to acknowledge
a robot as Buddha...

If it were constructed
inherent with enlightenment,

which so few attain after
such struggle and denial of self,

who would bear the countless

cycles of death and
birth to achieve it?

Answer me this, robot.

Have you come to drive man away
from the path of awakening?

You must know the effects of

your talk of Nirvana
on these poor souls!

If you have truly
been enlightened,

attest to this by
withdrawing yourself now.

Put an end to this, robot!

Everything has been revealed.

This robot failed to answer
the Master monk's question.

It is now clear that
this robot is defective.

You will stand
witness to the end of

a robot resisting human orders.

- Carry out the order.
- Wait, sir.

Just one minute.

Please allow me some
more time, sir.

Allow me some time to
run a check in more detail.

What are you saying?

You once stated
that the RU-4 was

a turning point
in the history of man.

Who could've known
its greatest gift

would become
its mortal affliction?

Technical error must be dealt
through technical means.

Stop this, Mr. PARK.

No, I have something to say.

Sir, no one here is perfect,

including you and I.

But we are not exterminated
at the touch of a button.

- We don't have time for this.
- Sir!

A robot must not think.

A robot must not
possess cognition.

It must not have emotions
or feel pain.

A robot must never construe or

trespass on the domains of man!

A robot must unconditionally
obey human orders!

Begin immediately!

RU-400745479 EXQ.

You are hereby subject to
Code Alpha 42 Plus.

You must obey all further orders
and will now be collected.

What say you, robot?

You claim to
have reached Nirvana.

Will you not obey
to the likes of man?

Be warned!

We are free
from legal constraints

on robots violating this code,

and will commence fire to
exterminate all such robots!

Will you obey?

Obey our orders.

Obey our orders!

This is your last warning!
Will you obey?

As head of UR
I order to open fire!

No, please cease fire!

Obey our orders!

- Cease fire!
- Extermination team!

No, please cease fire.

- Move!
- Out of the way, Mr. PARK.

- No.
- Out of the way, PARK!

Please cease fire!

- Back away, Mr. PARK!
- Move, PARK!

Move.
Out of the way, PARK!

- Out of the way, Mr. PARK!
- This isn't right, sir!

Extermination team!
What are you waiting for?

Back away. Cease fire!

- Open fire!
- Fire.

Cease fire!

Withdraw yourselves now.

Please
withdraw everything now.

I know I am without
desire or compulsion,

in the past
present, and future.

I have learned that this is as
the teachings of Buddha.

Humans
for what do you fear?

Compulsion, desire
good deeds and bad,

enlightenment and oblivion...

The world this robot has seen
through its bare nature

was already complete
in and of itself.

Why do you believe
that only a robot

can be awakened at creation?

Humans.

You were each born with
enlightenment already attained.

You have only forgotten.

The world this robot sees is
inherently beautiful.

The question of my awakening

does not affect
this complete world.

You are masters of this world

and have already
attained enlightenment.

That is why I will now
leave this place,

so that a robot's
precedent enlightenment

will not fill you with
oblivion again.

I pray that you ponder
deep within yourselves,

It's all...

All circuits have been
disconnected.

The robot terminated all of
its own functions.

In-myung has
entered into Nirvana.

THE HEAVENLY CREATURE

What should! do?

I have to order it
before Dad finds out.

Was it the eightball?

That stupid pool ball!

Where am I supposed to
order it from?

Honey, have you
seen my eightball?

They must've messed
with it and lost it.

Don't ask me
for some stupid ball.

A stupid ball?

That ball is a complex
system of physical forces...

Whatever. Where did
my credit card go? Min-seo!

Have you seen your uncle?

- Hwan, did you...
- Dad!

Be polite and knock first!

What are you doing
in your uncle's room?

Checking my homework
on the computer.

Honey. What is she
doing in Hwan's room?

I found it!

TWO YEARS LATER

MASS COLLISION APPROACHING!

Exactly twelve hours and

thirteen minutes
until collision.

Doctor. Please explain to us
the current situation.

What did he say?

Well, the situation looks bleak.

I see.

The size of the meteor
headed for Earth is...

You're just gonna
keep watching TV?

Did you bring all your things?

Mom, shouldn't we plant
an apple tree or something?

An apple tree is no use.

You see the "home farmer kit"
I've planted over there?

That'll be our only
solution to constipation,

once we're locked up in here.

I said not to put stuff
like this on here.

- Your wife put them there.
- I know.

- Bro.
- What?

You should've opened a pool hall

with the money
from selling Dad's store.

I didn't open
a pool hall because...

You shouldn't turn what
you love most into a job.

One can hardly imagine

how the world looks right now.

Anchorwoman LEE Eun-kyung
will give us the details.

Anchorwoman LEE.

Anchorwoman LEE?

Yes.

The world looks
miserable right now.

Looking at new footage...

What's the use now?

Ladies and gentlemen
I pray you don't lose hope.

Keep your hopes up
ladies and gentlemen!

Bomb shelters cost too much
for most of our viewers.

Having a bomb shelter
inside a home isn't easy.

But you can't walk
through the rain

without an umbrella, right?

You must be prepared.

Many viewers asked
if women and children

really can live
comfortably in the pod.

Inside our special
Life Cube shelter pod,

everything is solar-powered.

Sanitation and water supply
are part of one system.

- One system?
- Yes.

You'll have purified
urine to drink.

Purified urine!

It does sound a bit repulsive,

but it's extremely sanitary.

You'll have fresh water
any time you want

I'm sure you're already dialing
our number on your phone.

Remember that
we have one day left

before the big collision.

You have to decide today,

in order to receive
the shelter pod

before the collision tomorrow.

This is our last live
deal before the collision.

If you buy it
after the collision,

it'll be too late.

Make the right choice
and call us now.

Huh?

OUT OF SERVICE RANGE

Honey. You're really
gonna do that right now?

I wonder how your mother
ever raised you two...

Balls and robots...

I'm a little offended.

Who installed the electricity
and everything in here?

You went to KAIST.
It's is the least you could do.

It's the end of the world and...

Honey. Think of all the days
we'll be spending in here.

Don't waste
your energy already.

This photograph has
just been released...

My good old friend
is on the news!

The meteoroid currently
heading for Earth

appears to be of
a certain ball-like form.

NASA and scientists
everywhere are

quickly analyzing
this photograph.

QKR 0109...

Q... Cue for billiards.
"KR"... For Korea.

Today's date.
No, that's not it.

Come on, intelligent brain!

Maybe she regrets not studying
now that the world is ending.

Skills are better
than book smarts.

Skills last longer.

Just don't make us miserable by
taking up something absurd.

- I think I love you.
- I love you too, honey.

She took it the wrong way.

That's an a useless
hobby, not a skill.

Mom, Dad. Uncle Hwan.
That thing coming toward us...

That pocket ball...
I ordered it.

I'll be a better dad, okay?

I'll play less billiards.
We won't fight.

I know you're
scared and confused,

but we have to have hope.

Mommy and Dad...

I'm telling the truth!

I really ordered that!

Don't you remember, Mom?

The day Uncle Hwan
saw that UFO.

I saw a UFO on my way home.

Uncle Hwan.
What's your purpose on Earth?

Seriously I just looked up

while coming up the hill,

and a silver
saucer went whoosh...

That's my ID!

That's how we type
our last name!

0109 is my birthday.
Today!

I found a weird website
selling pool balls for ten cents.

For real?

It swirled around when I clicked
and the order went in.

I'm not lying-'

Maybe it was a website
for aliens!

I think I was wrong earlier.

Let's brush up
on your speech skills

before anything else.

I can't understand
a word you're saying.

Are you mad because
we forgot your birthday?

We've been a bit
preoccupied, honey.

Trying to analyze the “QKRO109"

symbol we have seen
will be nearly impossible.

Huh?
What is this?

Mankind is not perceptive enough to...

I'll spend my last moments at home,

praying with my family.

Min-seo.

Daddy knows how you feel.

It's all right.

You won't believe
anything I say anyway.

I'm gonna go outside
for a bit,

since this might
be my last time.

What in the world have I done?

Bro! I know you're busy,

but we need to talk.

You guys can ignore what
I say like you always do,

but you shouldn't
ignore Min-seo,

your one and only hope.

Just like the UFO
I saw a few years ago,

the idea of her eightball
meteor is certainly a bit absurd

But what's important is that

the world might
end in a few hours.

According to Stephen Hawking's
black hole theory,

things we can't humanly
explain can sometimes

happen in this universe.

The four of us becoming a family
could be one silly phenomenon.

And according to
Wheeler's wormhole theory...

- Uncle Hwan.
- Yes?

Stop talking bullshit and
say something realistic.

Well, okay.

I've thought for years
that this black hole phenomenon

could become linked through
Internet or cell phone signals.

And the fact that I saw
that UFO is also strange,

because that thing
I saw was real!

I looked through
the browser history.

There really was one odd address.

Mom!

Something is weird outside.

The sirens are really loud.
Turn on the TV!

Ladies and gentlemen
I repeat...

Due to the meteor's
sudden acceleration,

we now have twenty minutes
and twenty seconds left.

We're also seeing
strange weather

because of
the meteor's influence.

Let's find out the current
status of our weather report.

- What's the weather report?
- Nothing too special.

I see.

Then here's the last
presidential address,

a bit ahead of schedule.

Let's connect
to the Blue House.

We'll try again.

Blue House?

Yes. We seem to be having
some technical difficulties.

We'll try again next time.

Next time, when?

There is no next time.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I have something to
confess before I die.

Let's confess
after the collision...

Despite all
the great guys out there,

I picked the man
sitting next to me now.

I loved this married man
with all of my heart.

But now this scumbag
ditched me,

for the young little
reporter KIM Song-yi.

Now they're having an affair!

Before the world ends,

and before the whole nation,

I'll have this scumbag...

No manners at all.

Yes. Ladies and gentlemen,

I will carry out my duties as
a broadcaster to the very end.

Why are you sitting there?

Well, I've always wanted to.

Can't I?
Today is our last show.

Why not?

I think you look sexier
than Anchorwoman LEE.

I gave you everything
you bastard!

Just how?
How can you call yourself a man?

Do you love her?

Right.

I will remain composed
and stay with our viewers...

Hey.

Couldn't we cancel
or return the eightball?

Let's try going on the computer.

Uncle Hwan.

I can't understand
what we're supposed to do.

Heck, even Einstein himself
couldn't figure this out.

Uncle Hwan, what is this?

An enter key?

Let's try it.

- I think it stopped!
- Really?

What now?

Wouldn't clicking on the 'X'
stop it for good?

No!

These aren't symbols
used by humans!

We need the electricity!

- What do we do?
- A muscle cramp?

You should've listened to
me when I told you to exercise.

I don't have time to exercise.

I worked so hard to let you
keep up that hobby of yours...

Honey. Ow!

Cramps!

- I don't know what to do!
- Let's just click 'X'!

- Pretty please!
- Please...

No!

Mom.

Dad. Uncle Hwan.

I never imagined not
becoming a grown-up.

I ordered that
eightball so that...

I wouldn't letdown Dad.

Mom. Dad. Uncle Hwan.

I love you.
You know that, right?

Min-seo. Happy Birthday.

TEN YEARS LATER

Honey!

Min-seo!

Min-seo!

Min-seo!

- Are you all right?
- What in the world...

I wanted to see its face...
They left already?

Just come out and look.

Oh my... My, my.. -

My good old friend
the eightball.

Min-seo.

How did that eightball get
destroyed in the first place?

Oh, I don't know...

Maybe, it was just time
for it to get destroyed.

Like this place.

We can't be the only ones
that survived, right?

Of course not.

Mom. Dad.

Guys!
I think I saw someone over there!

- You did?
- Hurry up!

Wait for us!
