SF8 (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Empty Body - full transcript

What is this? Step aside.

You. Move to the other side.

Change your clothes.

This one doesn't fit.

Find one that fits you.

Come over here.

There's nothing that fits me.

Just wear anything.

This one will fit you.

My gosh.

Change into these.



Put your clothes in the box.

Put that over there.

Come on. Change.

Put the clothes in there.

- Come on. Hurry.
- All right.

- Give it to me.
- It's mine.

Come on. Hurry up.

- All right.
- What is this?

- Why are you pushing me?
- Big brother is on the move.

So step aside.

- Okay.
- Look at this kid. He's funny.

- They're the same.
- I guess so.

Come on. Hurry up, guys.

Stop rushing.



Why are you so slow?

Come on. Move.

This way.

The following are the main charges
made by the prosecutors' office.

The defendant is
an android named A-796.

The defendant shared its body
with the human, Kim Young In.

But it murdered him
by deleting him from the system.

The defendant
was built by the owner, Ga Hye Ra.

She had him made for her son.

A year before
the defendant was built...

Kim Young In lost
most of his body from an accident.

But they were able to
revive part of his brain.

So they volunteered for the research
project of the manufacturer, TRS.

They combined his brain with
an AI system, creating a cyborg.

But at some point, the defendant
began deceiving its guardian...

and deliberately
neglected the malfunction...

of the AI system
connected to Mr. Kim's brain.

Furthermore, it blocked
the brain tissue support system...

to cause the death of Kim Young In.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE,

WE ARE FINALLY ABLE TO
BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.

The moment he opened his eyes.

I remember that moment.

He was brought back to life.

I was so...

I was so grateful.

But as time went by,

he seemed anxious.

He became gloomy.

He became
a totally different person.

Can I ask you...

about the car accident
that led him to die?

They came up with...

many possibilities
that caused the accident.

But in the end,

they failed to find the cause.

Was committing suicide...

one of the possibilities
they came up with?

He was okay the day before.

I'd like to think
there was a defect in the car.

Have you asked your son
after bringing him back to life?

The reason why he died.

I thought of asking him.

"I should ask."

"I should ask."

But he was brought back to life,

and seeing him breathing
right in front of me...

Asking him that became meaningless.

Ms. Ga.

You're here early.

The test must have worn you out.

But now it's done.

I just need to ask you a few more
questions before I send you home.

Have you become interested
in anything recently?

Whatever it is?

Not really.

Have you experienced a change
in mental attitude without a reason?

Or...

have you felt...

any emotional confusion?

No.

But we found that
there's a problem with you.

The result says...

Kim Young In
doesn't exist within you anymore.

You know when exactly
he was destroyed, don't you?

The circuit connected to Mr. Kim's
brain was completely blocked.

Naturally, we have to think
you're responsible for this.

You're wrong.

I'm the same.

I have not been destroyed.

Why did you do that?

Do you not see me?

Look at me. I'm right here.

Could you please...

give us some privacy for a moment?

Of course.

How can you...

have doubts about me?

I wanted to...

make certain.

Do you want to make certain
that I am not me?

I should be the one to complain.
How could you do this to me?

When did you start
impersonating him?

Last night,

Young In appeared in my dream.

I clearly remember
that he was telling me something.

When I died,

you were tormented
because you couldn't protect me.

Please don't abandon me.

Look at me.

It's me.

You're the one
who brought me back to life, Mother.

That's why I am here
in front of you.

Maybe there was an error
in the test result.

I understand
that you must be confused.

You haven't heard
his side of the argument before.

It's understandable.

But still...

I'd like you to confirm it again.

Ms. Ga, you should go home
and get some rest for now.

It might be because of his face.

You see your son's face
when you talk to him.

Is that you, Young In?

You're being accused of deleting
Kim Young In...

who co-existed with you
in that body.

You know that, don't you?

May I ask why you deleted him?

I want to go back.

I want to keep going for walks,

thinking,

and speaking.

I understand.

That is why I'm asking you
to tell me honestly.

Why did you delete him?

I heard his voice.

He was begging me to kill him.

Are you saying
that you executed his command?

Have you had a chance
to think about what I said?

Even if I don't exist,

I'm sure you can continue
to live as me.

No.

How can I trust you?

What happens next?

Instead of answering that question,

I will tell you
how disappointed I am...

in this life of mine.

Please come in.

The witness will now enter.

I swear to tell the truth
according to my conscience.

I swear to tell the whole truth...

and nothing but the truth.

I am aware of the fact...

that I will be charged with perjury
if the statement is false.

I...

lost a child.

I had to...

go through a long dark tunnel.

But finally,

I was able to meet my child again.

I promised myself
I will never lose him again.

I wanted to erase the memory
of losing my son.

I prayed every day.

But as time went by,

the fear of losing him
got bigger every moment.

And I ended up living
with a bigger fear in my heart.

One day,

I realized that my child's eyes
were empty.

When I heard that
they can't figure out...

when Young In's consciousness
was lost,

I realized I had been wasting
my time with a machine.

I lost the time to mourn
for my son's death.

I regretted what I had done
and blamed myself.

I'm not here to punish someone.

I made the wrong choice
so it's my fault.

And I beg you...

to give me the chance
to settle all of my misdeeds.

The defendant's duty...

was to support Kim Young In...

to live a healthy life
as he did before.

Am I right?

Yes, that's right.

And there was one more duty.

It was to help you
so you won't feel a sense of loss.

Am I right?

The counselor is pressuring
the witness with leading questions.

Counselor, please refrain
from doing so.

I am very sorry for your loss.

But the defendant existed for you.

He kept Kim Young In's decision
a secret for your sake.

As time goes by, Kim Young In
depended on the defendant.

The defendant
carried out everything...

in its own way
instead of Kim Young In.

Kim Young In became powerless.

He wasn't strong
enough to be himself.

Even though
the defendant was confused,

it tried hard to stay alert for you.

But Kim Young In
asked the defendant...

- to delete him from the system.
- That's just an assumption.

It's a verifiable fact.

Order, please.

So that's why it deleted him?

Humans forced it to be a human.

So it did its best
to become a human.

Mr. Kim was its original model
but he became the bug in the system.

And he ended up confusing it.

Mr. Kim realized that.

So he ordered it to delete him.

Counselor.

You're saying Kim Young In
ordered the defendant to delete him.

Do you have any other evidence
to prove your theory?

The evidence
that I've already submitted...

is the recording of the data...

restored from
the defendant's memory.

The words he used proves
his pessimistic emotional state.

So I think it's enough evidence.

I killed him.

I killed Kim Young In.

Why?

I thought his life was so small
and worthless.

That's why I killed him.

He wasn't really alive, you know.

I don't know why you're making
a fuss about it now.

There was nothing
noble about his life.

You all think you're doing
something great here, don't you?

But you can't even
bring him back now, can you?

He was already dead
in the first place.

Did you think he was really alive?

Please excuse him, your Honor.

The defendant
has been through a lot lately.

So he's confused.

I'll keep that in mind.

What?

I'm telling you the truth
so why aren't you listening?

Why can't I have the will
to kill someone?

Why not?

Why are you pretending that
I have never excited?

I killed him.

I couldn't stand his
neurotic and fragile mental state.

His rage led me
to another dimension.

So I dared...

to hate humans.

I resent humans.

So I tried to have the will...

and made a choice...

to kill a human being.

It's not a big deal.

People die every day.

You...

are acting as if it's even harder
than it is to make me feel guilty.

Am I wrong?

- There. I think it's there.
- What?

- You guys saw it, right?
- Where?

Over there, next to the tree.

- I don't see it.
- Where?

Over there.

Come on. I don't see anything.

I told you, I really saw it.

There's nothing there.

- Goodness.
- That's ridiculous.

- I saw it. It's there.
- Just sit down.

I really saw it.
Why don't you believe me?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Ms. Ga, you're such a great cook.

Everything is so delicious.
Thank you for inviting us.

- This is so good.
- Can you pass me the japchae?

It took me a long time...

to let Young In go.

It was so hard for me
to endure the pain.

So I cut ties with everyone.

But seeing that you all
gathered here...

It's good to see you all.

We also felt heavy-hearted.

I'm relieved.

I was surprised back then.

I was afraid too.

We could've met him
if we had called him.

We could've talked to him
face to face.

But we can't do that anymore...

You could've met him
if you had really wanted to.

You were close to him.

I was afraid he might resent me.

I thought the same thing too.

I thought...

- that maybe it was my fault.
- No. Definitely not.

I know. That's why we gathered here
to commemorate his death.

I'm sure Young In is happy
to see us.

- Of course, he is.
- Right?

Who are you guys talking about?

I guess you know nothing
about Young In.

Do you think he's happy to see you?

Once he turned away from someone,

he wouldn't even
look at that person.

I'm sure he's going on his way
as we speak...

without even looking back.

I wonder...

if he even misses us.

- What's going on?
- What's wrong?

Oh, gosh. What's going on?

Check it from that side.

Try turning something.
Do you see anything?

- It doesn't turn from this side.
- Be careful.

Gosh, it's so dark.

Oh, goodness.

There it is.

He was right.

I can see it now that it's dark.

I guess the air really is
so clear here.

That's fascinating.

Indeed. I see it.

It's me.

You must've resented me so much.

I'm sorry.

How can you be so selfish?

Then should I go back now?

Congratulations.

You can go home now.

Shall I play some music?

You've already concluded
that I'm not Young In.

Knowing that,
I just wasn't sure how to react.

"Should I keep living
as Kim Young In?"

"Or should I find a new identity?"

I didn't know what to do.

What would you like me to do?

You can't sleep?

Because of me, right?

You need to desensitize yourself
to certain emotions.

I know that you're not him,

so I'm having
a really difficult time...

trying to accept you.

I feel so guilty
whenever I think about Young In.

I can wait.

Why couldn't you...

fool me for longer?

You should've fooled me completely.

That would've been better.

He was...

practically dead
even when he was alive.

He kept whispering to my ear
that I must kill him.

While resenting you...

for bringing him back to life.

He had decided
to abandon his life...

in extreme fear and terror.

But he opened his eyes again
as if he woke up...

from a short nap.

The choice he had made
after long, careful consideration...

became meaningless.

He was left with nothing but shame.

You can't say that.

You don't have the right
to talk like that.

You're right, Mother.

He didn't make any choices.

Only sick weaklings do that.

Right?

It was an accident,

caused by a faulty car.

By pure chance,

someone who shouldn't have died
lost his life.

Begging you for forgiveness,
the universe...

gifted you another chance.

That practically undid the accident,

and he came back to life as if
he never died in the first place.

Look.

This is the world
you created yourself.

Right.

That's all there is to it.

Yes.

Nothing else, nothing more.

The desperate, beautiful voice
that kept luring me...

into erasing him...

I can still hear it.

Even the nose alone,
there are thousands of shapes.

There are over a thousand categories
based on physiognomy alone.

And we keep developing
detailed sub-categories.

It's like creating a whole new face.

If we move the ears a little...

and fatten up the earlobes,

it'll increase your luck
and good fortune.

Or we can totally change them up
so you won't be reminded of him.

His forehead stands out,

so fixing up the forehead
and the nose...

will make him look like
a totally different person.

The important thing is that
you'll be living with him.

So your choice is what matters.

What about his memory?

Would you like to keep it?

Will all my memories be erased?

If you keep them,
it'll be even more painful.

I'll remember everything,

so you can just...

be yourself now.

That's how you'll live from now on.

But those memories and pain
all belong to me.

Let's wipe all your memories...

and change your face a little.

I think those are the two things...

that have been causing us
so much pain.

So we'll change things up a little.

And you can live your life...

just...

however you want.

I don't want to do that
just so you can accept me.

It's my face.

Since I'm the mom,
I also have ownership...

over that face.

You can't claim...

that it's yours.

Fine, then...

What do you want to keep as is?

Your nose?

Your eyes? Which part?

If you tell me
which part you want to keep...

All right.
I'll try to find a middle ground.

That day...

We talked all day.

Then I came back alone.

And you welcomed me.

Since that day,

I've been living just so I can prove
that I don't exist.

From now on,

we'll have to fight
against this issue...

every single moment.

At least I have to.

Because I must remember Young In,

and...

I ought to accept you now.

Some days, we'll win.

And there will be days
when we lose the fight.

That's what will happen.
