W (2016): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript
Chul is an uber-rich man
with a net worth of 800 billion won.
I'll create a crime-solving program
and search for the killer.
He founds broadcasting channel W
to look for the killer who murdered
his family ten years ago.
He is attacked
-and is critically injured.
-The police spotted Kang Chul...
Then Chul meets cartoonist Oh Seong-moo,
who created and destroyed his life.
-Draw the real killer's face.
-There is no real killer.
There he finds out that his life
is just fiction fabricated by the author.
He tries to end his own life.
You tried to kill me
when I desperately wanted to live,
but you saved me when I wanted to die.
Like I would want to continue this life?
Because I love you!
He is saved once again by Yeon-joo,
and realizes his true feelings for her.
You should just remain my friend.
You're fired.
Thank you for everything.
-Her hand disappeared?
-It's absurd, but I know what I saw.
Is this a wedding ring?
Goodness.
Oh, my gosh.
Chul is about to live
a happy second life with Yeon-joo.
I'll put a bullet in her head.
It's her turn now.
The killer he thought
didn't exist appears.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
Hello?
Where are you?
How did you go back?
Who said you could die?
Do you know how long I've waited?
-Who are you?
-Who am I?
Don't you know me?
I killed your family
in your house 10 years ago.
I don't have it. There is no real killer.
It was just an initial set-up.
It was a set-up to make
the main character stronger.
Who...
are you?
I said I killed your parents and siblings
with just four shots.
I shot them right in the forehead.
I'm a sharpshooter just like you.
That's why you should find me.
Why would you die before finding me?
You can't die now.
This won't end
until you and I finish our business.
I see you have a new family now.
It's her turn now.
I'll put a bullet in her head.
Wait for it.
Hello?
When did you get back?
What's wrong?
Why did
"The end" change to "To be continued"?
-What?
-You said it suddenly changed.
THE END
TO BE CONTINUED
You said you could save me
because the words changed.
I don't know. It just changed.
It just changed?
I thought there must be a reason
why it can't end yet.
I don't know what though.
What is it? Why are you asking me that?
-Mr. Kang.
-Yes?
I brought Madam's dress.
Okay.
A dress?
RESTRICTED NUMBER
This way, please.
-Hello, Madam.
-Hello, Madam.
Hello.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Since we don't know your style yet,
we prepared dresses of different styles
for your choosing.
I see.
Over here, we have a bright pink dress.
If you prefer something simpler,
there's this striped dress.
Okay.
What is this?
You said parties sounded interesting too.
Number one, a Cinderella story
with fancy parties.
I heard you wanted that too.
I looked for a party
you can attend wearing a dress.
Luckily, I got invited to a state dinner.
A state dinner?
It's at the Blue House,
so pick a nice one.
The Blue House?
DO-YOON
Are you saying I'm going
to the Blue House?
For your information,
I like low-cut dresses.
I think this has the lowest neckline.
No, don't listen to him.
He's just kidding.
Did you look into it?
They can't trace the call.
They can't trace the call,
and the number doesn't exist.
It's strange.
Who was the call from?
I said I killed your parents and siblings
with just four shots.
I shot them right in the forehead.
I'm a sharpshooter just like you.
That's why you should find me.
Why would you die before finding me?
You can't die now.
Look into it more.
W Project, report number 353.
W PROJECT REPORTS
August 2016.
Written by Kang Chul.
I'm discarding all the reports
written so far.
From now on,
I will work on a new hypothesis.
The killer...
exists.
THE KILLER EXISTS.
The killer definitely exists.
However,
he lacks a physical body
since he wasn't given one.
Thus, he has neither
a face nor an identity.
-No.
-Shoot!
He was created only to kill my family.
Thus, he feels no guilt toward killing.
He doesn't feel sadness
or pleasure.
It's because he doesn't have
a personality.
Mom.
Dad...
His only role was to traumatize me...
and make me devote myself
to solving violent crimes.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
Hello?
Hello...
Where are you?
How did you come back to life?
He appears only
when he is needed for the story
and disappears when he is not.
He can appear anywhere...
and in any form.
If the creator wants to,
he can appear any time...
without any context...
HE CAN APPEAR ANY TIME
...and commit murder.
What is a state dinner anyway?
Don't people like
the Prince of England go to that?
Will there be dancing? Dancing?
I can't dance. Oh, no.
Will we be dancing the waltz?
Gosh, I can't do this. This is crazy.
May I come in?
How do I look?
They said this suits me the best.
It's her turn now.
I'll put a bullet in her head.
Wait for it.
I guess I look bad.
I guess it's really bad.
Don't say anything. I got it.
Go back.
I'm going. I am.
Do I look that bad?
Go home. It's dangerous here.
What?
Is there any way you can go back?
I can't just go back.
I can't go back whenever I want to.
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
Smile as you get out.
They'll be taking pictures.
I don't think I can do this.
I'm not good at things like this.
Just hold my hand and follow me, okay?
-Over here!
-Please look here!
-Please look here!
-Over here!
You two look beautiful together.
How do you feel to be invited
to the state dinner?
Please tell us.
-Please look here!
-Let us take your picture!
-Here!
-Please look here!
Are you all right?
-I'm all right.
-Let me help you.
No, I'm all right.
It's okay. I'll do it.
What was that?
She was sleeping and fell off the bed.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Okay, you may go.
Why did you fall off the bed?
I was just dreaming.
What was it about?
It was a very sweet dream.
A very sweet dream?
You haven't slept yet?
I think it's almost 3 a.m. now.
Everyone is protecting you,
so relax and go back to sleep.
By the way,
are the guards really necessary?
The door's open,
and I feel like people are looking at me,
so I can't sleep well.
We don't know when he'll appear,
so we have no choice.
I don't die here.
I don't die here.
I'm immortal in this world.
Regardless of what the killer said,
what's there to worry about?
Variables.
There is no principle without variables.
Who knew the killer who lacks
a physical form would suddenly appear?
There's nothing we can do
until we know where he is.
Go back to sleep.
So I have to keep on living like this?
I can't go to the party, can I?
I already canceled.
I just got out of prison,
but I'm trapped in here again.
I can't even go outside.
You told me to mark the sweet things
you would do for me.
You said we would go grocery shopping.
You said we would do ten things a day,
but we haven't done anything.
We can't go outside, but isn't there
something we can do in here?
Aren't you hungry? I am.
-Shall I call someone?
-It's okay. It's my homework.
Wait outside.
Just a minute.
To be perfectly honest,
there's only one thing I know how to cook.
What is it?
Instant ramen.
-You call that cooking?
-That's my favorite food.
Okay, let's just eat ramen
and call it even.
Okay.
Where's the ramen?
Where's the ramen?
That's the oven. Why are you opening that?
Oh, that's right.
It's usually kept in places like this.
Here they are.
You're right.
Move out of the way. I'll make it.
I need to cook in order for it to count
as my homework.
I don't think we can call it even.
Make me a proper dish later
after you study.
Okay.
Do we have eggs and scallions?
-Do you want eggs in it?
-Yes.
Here they are.
There's something I don't understand.
How could your father do that?
How could he order the killer
to kill his own daughter?
That character always follows
your father's orders.
I don't know.
But I'm sure my dad wouldn't do that.
Then who?
I don't know,
but there's no way my dad drew it.
Why would he?
Plus, Dad said he'd never draw again--
Are you all right?
Call the nurse.
Just bring me some ointment! I can do it!
Why would you call a nurse for this?
What's wrong?
-Why are you bleeding?
-What?
It's not normal for you to bleed.
Why are you bleeding?
This means
you'll also die if you get shot.
TO BE CONTINUED
Mr. Kang, I brought the first aid kit.
It's okay, the bleeding stopped.
Go back downstairs,
and come back when I call you.
What's going on? Why am I bleeding?
Variables.
There is no principle without variables.
I SEE YOU HAVE A NEW FAMILY NOW
IT'S HER TURN NOW
I'LL PUT A BULLET IN HER HEAD
Does the real killer
know me?
How?
What is it? What changed?
Why are there variables now?
What's the reason?
Please leave a message after the beep.
Dad hasn't arrived yet?
SO-HEE
Hello?
Are you sleeping?
No. Why are you calling at this hour?
Can't I call at this hour?
Right.
Because your wife is there?
Are you drunk?
Is Yeon-joo...
sleeping beside you right now?
I really can't imagine it.
Are you...
Are you really married?
I know. That's right.
You've done nothing wrong.
You never promised me anything.
But I guess I'm slow-witted.
I thought things would turn out well
if I waited.
I was so stupid.
But I'm not the only one who thought that.
Everyone
thought so too.
So-hee.
What am I to you?
What am I?
What was I to you?
What?
What?
My hand...
What's wrong with it?
Hello?
Hello, So-hee?
Her hand disappeared?
Like a ghost.
It suddenly went translucent like a ghost.
It's absurd, but I know what I saw.
Characters.
That's why you should find me.
Why would you die before finding me?
You can't die now.
The purpose of the characters.
KANG CHUL, THE MAIN CHARACTER
YOON SO-HEE, CHUL'S FRIEND
AND PERSONAL ASSISTANT
The characters are created
because they're needed for the story.
THE REAL KILLER,
KILLED CHUL'S FAMILY
The W Project ends here.
When their purposes are gone,
they disappear.
They disappear forever?
On the flip side, when a character's
purpose becomes clearer...
Put the ring on first.
Is this a wedding ring?
Are you all right?
Then the character
becomes a major character
by force?
No way.
Have I become a real cartoon character?
Because I married the main character?
Is that why I bleed?
Does this mean I can actually die?
Then how about the killer?
Why doesn't he cease to exist
when his purpose is gone?
Where are you?
How did you come back to life?
Did he revive himself?
Did he wake up?
Like me?
Is the killer...
in the outside world?
Let's drink.
River flows
My gosh!
What's your problem?
Move! Get out of my way!
-Where is this?
-My goodness!
Where am I?
Where is Kang Chul?
Who are you? I don't know!
Help!
Help!
W ENDS WITH CHUL'S SUICIDE
THE IDENTITY OF THE KILLER
REMAINS UNKNOWN
THE MOST MEANINGLESS ENDING
The killer followed me into reality
and found out the truth.
When he realized that he doesn't exist,
he became furious.
The one who wanted
the killer's identity revealed
even more than I did...
was the killer himself.
He's dead?
Chul is really dead?
Who said that he could die?
I've waited so long for him.
I've waited ten years
for him to find me.
So how can it end?
How can this be the end?
He found out about my death
and became furious.
Did the pipe explode in the bathroom?
THE END
TO BE CONTINUED
He stopped W from ending.
He wanted to end it with me.
Wait a minute. There's someone over there.
Why are you standing there?
It's dangerous.
And now,
he is still wandering there...
because he doesn't know how to come back.
He must be worried. What should I do?
Who would call at this hour?
Hello?
Hello?
You're back?
You're Oh Seong-moo's daughter, right?
You're Oh Yeon-joo, right?
The girl who married Chul.
MR. OH SEONG-MOO'S HOUSE
SHOW PERSONNEL
EMERGENCY CONTACT LIST
-Really?
-Good morning, Su-yeon.
She's sleeping.
She must've gotten
a lot of complaint calls yesterday.
Hey, Su-bong!
Wake up, Su-bong! Wake up now!
-What's wrong?
-Wake up! We have to run!
-What? What's wrong with you?
-Hurry! Where's the car key?
-Find the car key!
-What's going on?
You should first tell me what's going on!
-What's going on?
-Hurry up!
-Did you find the key?
-What is it?
-Hurry!
-What's wrong?
Tell me what's going on!
-Hurry up!
-What's going on?
Hurry!
Gosh!
Go. Hurry up!
Gosh, I got it.
Let me start the car first.
Yeon-joo, do I just keep going?
Where are we going?
Just go as far away
from the house as possible.
Gosh, you're driving me crazy.
What is it now?
I'm so sick of things happening.
Nothing can surprise me now.
Don't answer your phone.
Don't answer calls
from unknown numbers, okay?
Who would call me?
The real killer
-is looking for me.
-What are you talking about?
Go... Go back.
Go back.
Who is that?
Isn't that a gun? It's a gun.
That's a gun, Yeon-joo!
-Back up!
-It's a gun!
-Let go of my hand!
-Hurry up!
Let go of my hand.
What's going on?
Did you check the bathroom?
She's not there.
I'm here.
Mr. Kang?
Wasn't that her voice?
Yes, I found her. We're good now.
Are you okay?
-Are you hurt?
-I...
I almost died.
The killer shot his gun at me.
Where?
He called my dad's house
and I answered it.
He showed up right away
after just a few minutes.
I was running away and he shot me,
but I came here right before I died.
What about Su-bong?
-Who is Su-bong?
-He's my dad's pupil.
He was in the car with me.
Please don't kill me!
I'm so sorry. Please!
I'll be a better person. I'm sorry.
Please spare my life!
Please don't kill me.
I'm sorry.
Yeon-joo?
What if he shot Su-bong?
You're the target.
He won't hurt him without a reason.
I'm worried about my mom.
What if he goes to my mom's place
to look for me?
Shit!
Su-bong! Are you okay?
Are you okay?
I was on my way to Seong-moo's house.
Is Yeon-joo there?
-Ms. Gil.
-Yes?
You can't go there. Go somewhere else.
-That way. You have to go that way.
-What's wrong with you?
You'll get shot if you go this way.
-You'll get shot. Go left.
-Oh, my.
-I'm sorry. Just trust me, please.
-What are you doing?
Go left. Just hurry up and go.
-What's wrong with you?
-Please go now.
ARRIVAL IN SEOUL AUGUST 16TH
Excuse me.
-You're Mr. Oh Seong-moo, right?
-Yes.
I'm a big fan. May I have your autograph?
I wasn't sure if it was you.
I heard you were badly injured.
I guess you've recovered.
I'm fine now.
Is W really over?
Are you planning a sequel?
I just like your work so much.
It was a pleasure.
Ladies and gentleman,
we will be arriving at Auckland
International Airport in 30 minutes.
Are we there? Gosh, this is so tiring.
Who am I?
Who am I?
Where is Chul?
Who am I?
Why won't you say who I am?
Who am I?
Tell me who I am!
Sir, is everything okay?
Sir? Are you okay?
Sir.
Didn't your father tell you anything?
No.
I can't call him. He's still on the plane.
Where were you going?
Isn't this So-hee's place?
I saw it often in the book.
So-hee, it's me. Let me in.
-So-hee.
-What's going on?
-Do you know the code?
-Pardon?
Is there anything you remember
from the book?
Please eat. Why won't you eat?
Aren't you hungry?
My gosh, what is that?
-Don't we look good together?
-Yeon-joo.
He's totally obsessed with So-hee.
-He's making such crazy connections.
-How?
Do you know why So-hee lives in Room 702?
It's because my birthday is July 2nd.
And every one of So-hee's passwords
is 2405.
My cell phone number.
So-hee can't escape from me.
So-hee, you're mine!
Gosh, what is that? That's pathetic.
She's right. You're really pathetic.
Look who's talking.
It's 2405. Her code is 2405.
Stay here. Don't come in.
So-hee.
Chul.
I think I'm dying.
What's wrong with me?
My hands are disappearing. Look at this.
HER HAND DISAPPEARED?
My legs are gone too.
What's happening to me?
It's because you're drunk.
There's nothing wrong with you.
It's because I'm drunk?
Yes, you're drunk.
Let's get you up.
It's a wedding ring.
You're really wearing it.
You really got married.
-So-hee.
-I thought I'd marry you one day.
So what am I?
What am I?
What am I?
It's a misunderstanding, So-hee.
You know it's a fake marriage.
It's all fake.
There's nothing going on between us.
It's a misunderstanding?
Yes, it is.
What are you worried about?
You're very precious to me.
You're the closest person to me.
I need you for the rest of my life.
You need me?
Of course.
You can't leave.
I'm not dying?
Why would you die? That won't happen.
You're drunk now.
Everything will be fine
once you get some rest.
Really?
Yes, really.
I'm going to study computer engineering.
Aren't you going to shoot?
That was just a hobby.
I was hoping for your second
Olympic gold medal.
Your dad will be disappointed.
I can become the world champion
in computers.
Gosh, hey.
You're not a genius who can do anything.
Yes, I'm a genius.
-I'm a genius. Didn't you know?
-What?
You annoying...
Hey.
Come here. You're such a rascal.
I had forgotten
that So-hee was the main female character.
This happened because of me.
It's a horrible fate
that your father created.
The character set-up.
Our reason for existence.
Isn't it cruel
that there is only one reason
for our existence?
We're also human.
It's such a mess.
This isn't the sequel I was hoping for.
To Mr. Oh Seong-moo.
What are you doing?
I'm tying your shoes.
Here is my chance.
Did I do four sweet things now?
This isn't the time for homework.
We're going to get some fresh air.
Isn't this place...
Do you remember?
This is it. You were on the ground
around here, right?
I was so startled because
I thought you were going to die.
You're lucky
that you met such
a skilled doctor like me right then.
I was lucky, indeed.
Promise me one thing.
When you leave this world again,
can you draw me something?
Draw you what?
A dream.
A dream?
A scene where I wake up from a dream.
Make everything that happened
from two months ago when we first met
to this moment a dream.
Make it a long dream.
It isn't hard, is it?
You even brought me back from the dead.
No matter how much I think about it,
that's the only way I can think of.
Going back to the time before I thought
that you were the key to my life.
I met you here for the first time.
Anyway, we have to find her.
I think that woman holds
the key to my life.
I started to wonder about you
and looked for you.
Then you kept getting
pulled into this world.
The world inside a cartoon.
This world is inside a cartoon.
And you are
the main character of that cartoon.
Through you, I learned the truth
I was better off not knowing.
I met your father
and did things I shouldn't have.
The killer followed me then...
And is making a mess
in your world right now.
My friend is close to disappearing.
And most importantly,
you must not die.
I can't watch you die again.
Everything will be resolved if we go back
to the time when we haven't met.
If I don't know you, I won't look for you
or think about you.
Then you won't be pulled into this world.
I won't learn the truth from you.
I won't shoot your father.
The killer won't get out.
No one will be in danger.
Thank you for saving me.
I didn't know how I should live,
but I know now.
I should live according to my fate.
If looking for a killer I can't catch
for the rest of my life
is the reason for my existence,
then so be it.
What do you think?
Do you understand me?
I do.
Can you draw that for me?
This is all a dream
that I had while I was in the hospital.
A dream I can't even remember.
Promise me.
You have to do that immediately
when you go back.
Don't hesitate at all.
He doesn't need to
follow the rules of reason,
so he can appear at any time.
Answer me. We don't have time.
He might be up to something as we speak,
since he doesn't have a personality.
I...
promise.
Okay, then.
It's too bad that we only got to do
four sweet romantic things.
I had over 100 more to do for you.
I want to hug you,
but I can't do that.
It may make me change my mind.
Are you going somewhere?
We're running out of time,
and this is the only sure way.
Yeon-joo,
forget me.
I'm just a cartoon character.
When you want to see me,
go to a bookstore
and see me in the comic book.
Okay?
Take care.
According to the hospital, Kang Chul,
who was attacked by an unknown man,
is now recovering and in stable state.
The front of the hospital
is currently swarming with people
who are worried about him.
The police are searching for
the assailant who attacked him.
However, they do not have any clear leads.
This is M News.
You're up.
How are you feeling?
-Did they find anything?
-Not yet.
They're checking the surveillance videos,
but it'll take time.
You know how slow they are.
Were you crying?
-What?
-Those look like tears.
I don't know. I think I had a dream.
It must've been a pretty sad dream.
I don't remember.
Would you get me some water?
Okay.
Anyway, your problem is
that you are too reckless.
Why would you go up there alone?
You were just asking for it.
You're lucky the waiter happened
to go up there.
Why would you meet someone
you don't know alone?
I'll accept the shitty fate
you've given me.
Just as I drew it...
-What a pretty ring.
-...Chul forgot everything.
This is a fresh start.
Chul will catch the killer
and then marry So-hee.
No one remembers me there,
and no one in this world
knows what I went through.
I called you because I want
to end it right.
I already picked the face.
He is the only person
Chul will accept as the real killer.
Dr. "Oh Yeon-joo"?
Subtitle translation by Jeong Lee
with a net worth of 800 billion won.
I'll create a crime-solving program
and search for the killer.
He founds broadcasting channel W
to look for the killer who murdered
his family ten years ago.
He is attacked
-and is critically injured.
-The police spotted Kang Chul...
Then Chul meets cartoonist Oh Seong-moo,
who created and destroyed his life.
-Draw the real killer's face.
-There is no real killer.
There he finds out that his life
is just fiction fabricated by the author.
He tries to end his own life.
You tried to kill me
when I desperately wanted to live,
but you saved me when I wanted to die.
Like I would want to continue this life?
Because I love you!
He is saved once again by Yeon-joo,
and realizes his true feelings for her.
You should just remain my friend.
You're fired.
Thank you for everything.
-Her hand disappeared?
-It's absurd, but I know what I saw.
Is this a wedding ring?
Goodness.
Oh, my gosh.
Chul is about to live
a happy second life with Yeon-joo.
I'll put a bullet in her head.
It's her turn now.
The killer he thought
didn't exist appears.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
Hello?
Where are you?
How did you go back?
Who said you could die?
Do you know how long I've waited?
-Who are you?
-Who am I?
Don't you know me?
I killed your family
in your house 10 years ago.
I don't have it. There is no real killer.
It was just an initial set-up.
It was a set-up to make
the main character stronger.
Who...
are you?
I said I killed your parents and siblings
with just four shots.
I shot them right in the forehead.
I'm a sharpshooter just like you.
That's why you should find me.
Why would you die before finding me?
You can't die now.
This won't end
until you and I finish our business.
I see you have a new family now.
It's her turn now.
I'll put a bullet in her head.
Wait for it.
Hello?
When did you get back?
What's wrong?
Why did
"The end" change to "To be continued"?
-What?
-You said it suddenly changed.
THE END
TO BE CONTINUED
You said you could save me
because the words changed.
I don't know. It just changed.
It just changed?
I thought there must be a reason
why it can't end yet.
I don't know what though.
What is it? Why are you asking me that?
-Mr. Kang.
-Yes?
I brought Madam's dress.
Okay.
A dress?
RESTRICTED NUMBER
This way, please.
-Hello, Madam.
-Hello, Madam.
Hello.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Since we don't know your style yet,
we prepared dresses of different styles
for your choosing.
I see.
Over here, we have a bright pink dress.
If you prefer something simpler,
there's this striped dress.
Okay.
What is this?
You said parties sounded interesting too.
Number one, a Cinderella story
with fancy parties.
I heard you wanted that too.
I looked for a party
you can attend wearing a dress.
Luckily, I got invited to a state dinner.
A state dinner?
It's at the Blue House,
so pick a nice one.
The Blue House?
DO-YOON
Are you saying I'm going
to the Blue House?
For your information,
I like low-cut dresses.
I think this has the lowest neckline.
No, don't listen to him.
He's just kidding.
Did you look into it?
They can't trace the call.
They can't trace the call,
and the number doesn't exist.
It's strange.
Who was the call from?
I said I killed your parents and siblings
with just four shots.
I shot them right in the forehead.
I'm a sharpshooter just like you.
That's why you should find me.
Why would you die before finding me?
You can't die now.
Look into it more.
W Project, report number 353.
W PROJECT REPORTS
August 2016.
Written by Kang Chul.
I'm discarding all the reports
written so far.
From now on,
I will work on a new hypothesis.
The killer...
exists.
THE KILLER EXISTS.
The killer definitely exists.
However,
he lacks a physical body
since he wasn't given one.
Thus, he has neither
a face nor an identity.
-No.
-Shoot!
He was created only to kill my family.
Thus, he feels no guilt toward killing.
He doesn't feel sadness
or pleasure.
It's because he doesn't have
a personality.
Mom.
Dad...
His only role was to traumatize me...
and make me devote myself
to solving violent crimes.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
Hello?
Hello...
Where are you?
How did you come back to life?
He appears only
when he is needed for the story
and disappears when he is not.
He can appear anywhere...
and in any form.
If the creator wants to,
he can appear any time...
without any context...
HE CAN APPEAR ANY TIME
...and commit murder.
What is a state dinner anyway?
Don't people like
the Prince of England go to that?
Will there be dancing? Dancing?
I can't dance. Oh, no.
Will we be dancing the waltz?
Gosh, I can't do this. This is crazy.
May I come in?
How do I look?
They said this suits me the best.
It's her turn now.
I'll put a bullet in her head.
Wait for it.
I guess I look bad.
I guess it's really bad.
Don't say anything. I got it.
Go back.
I'm going. I am.
Do I look that bad?
Go home. It's dangerous here.
What?
Is there any way you can go back?
I can't just go back.
I can't go back whenever I want to.
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
Smile as you get out.
They'll be taking pictures.
I don't think I can do this.
I'm not good at things like this.
Just hold my hand and follow me, okay?
-Over here!
-Please look here!
-Please look here!
-Over here!
You two look beautiful together.
How do you feel to be invited
to the state dinner?
Please tell us.
-Please look here!
-Let us take your picture!
-Here!
-Please look here!
Are you all right?
-I'm all right.
-Let me help you.
No, I'm all right.
It's okay. I'll do it.
What was that?
She was sleeping and fell off the bed.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
Okay, you may go.
Why did you fall off the bed?
I was just dreaming.
What was it about?
It was a very sweet dream.
A very sweet dream?
You haven't slept yet?
I think it's almost 3 a.m. now.
Everyone is protecting you,
so relax and go back to sleep.
By the way,
are the guards really necessary?
The door's open,
and I feel like people are looking at me,
so I can't sleep well.
We don't know when he'll appear,
so we have no choice.
I don't die here.
I don't die here.
I'm immortal in this world.
Regardless of what the killer said,
what's there to worry about?
Variables.
There is no principle without variables.
Who knew the killer who lacks
a physical form would suddenly appear?
There's nothing we can do
until we know where he is.
Go back to sleep.
So I have to keep on living like this?
I can't go to the party, can I?
I already canceled.
I just got out of prison,
but I'm trapped in here again.
I can't even go outside.
You told me to mark the sweet things
you would do for me.
You said we would go grocery shopping.
You said we would do ten things a day,
but we haven't done anything.
We can't go outside, but isn't there
something we can do in here?
Aren't you hungry? I am.
-Shall I call someone?
-It's okay. It's my homework.
Wait outside.
Just a minute.
To be perfectly honest,
there's only one thing I know how to cook.
What is it?
Instant ramen.
-You call that cooking?
-That's my favorite food.
Okay, let's just eat ramen
and call it even.
Okay.
Where's the ramen?
Where's the ramen?
That's the oven. Why are you opening that?
Oh, that's right.
It's usually kept in places like this.
Here they are.
You're right.
Move out of the way. I'll make it.
I need to cook in order for it to count
as my homework.
I don't think we can call it even.
Make me a proper dish later
after you study.
Okay.
Do we have eggs and scallions?
-Do you want eggs in it?
-Yes.
Here they are.
There's something I don't understand.
How could your father do that?
How could he order the killer
to kill his own daughter?
That character always follows
your father's orders.
I don't know.
But I'm sure my dad wouldn't do that.
Then who?
I don't know,
but there's no way my dad drew it.
Why would he?
Plus, Dad said he'd never draw again--
Are you all right?
Call the nurse.
Just bring me some ointment! I can do it!
Why would you call a nurse for this?
What's wrong?
-Why are you bleeding?
-What?
It's not normal for you to bleed.
Why are you bleeding?
This means
you'll also die if you get shot.
TO BE CONTINUED
Mr. Kang, I brought the first aid kit.
It's okay, the bleeding stopped.
Go back downstairs,
and come back when I call you.
What's going on? Why am I bleeding?
Variables.
There is no principle without variables.
I SEE YOU HAVE A NEW FAMILY NOW
IT'S HER TURN NOW
I'LL PUT A BULLET IN HER HEAD
Does the real killer
know me?
How?
What is it? What changed?
Why are there variables now?
What's the reason?
Please leave a message after the beep.
Dad hasn't arrived yet?
SO-HEE
Hello?
Are you sleeping?
No. Why are you calling at this hour?
Can't I call at this hour?
Right.
Because your wife is there?
Are you drunk?
Is Yeon-joo...
sleeping beside you right now?
I really can't imagine it.
Are you...
Are you really married?
I know. That's right.
You've done nothing wrong.
You never promised me anything.
But I guess I'm slow-witted.
I thought things would turn out well
if I waited.
I was so stupid.
But I'm not the only one who thought that.
Everyone
thought so too.
So-hee.
What am I to you?
What am I?
What was I to you?
What?
What?
My hand...
What's wrong with it?
Hello?
Hello, So-hee?
Her hand disappeared?
Like a ghost.
It suddenly went translucent like a ghost.
It's absurd, but I know what I saw.
Characters.
That's why you should find me.
Why would you die before finding me?
You can't die now.
The purpose of the characters.
KANG CHUL, THE MAIN CHARACTER
YOON SO-HEE, CHUL'S FRIEND
AND PERSONAL ASSISTANT
The characters are created
because they're needed for the story.
THE REAL KILLER,
KILLED CHUL'S FAMILY
The W Project ends here.
When their purposes are gone,
they disappear.
They disappear forever?
On the flip side, when a character's
purpose becomes clearer...
Put the ring on first.
Is this a wedding ring?
Are you all right?
Then the character
becomes a major character
by force?
No way.
Have I become a real cartoon character?
Because I married the main character?
Is that why I bleed?
Does this mean I can actually die?
Then how about the killer?
Why doesn't he cease to exist
when his purpose is gone?
Where are you?
How did you come back to life?
Did he revive himself?
Did he wake up?
Like me?
Is the killer...
in the outside world?
Let's drink.
River flows
My gosh!
What's your problem?
Move! Get out of my way!
-Where is this?
-My goodness!
Where am I?
Where is Kang Chul?
Who are you? I don't know!
Help!
Help!
W ENDS WITH CHUL'S SUICIDE
THE IDENTITY OF THE KILLER
REMAINS UNKNOWN
THE MOST MEANINGLESS ENDING
The killer followed me into reality
and found out the truth.
When he realized that he doesn't exist,
he became furious.
The one who wanted
the killer's identity revealed
even more than I did...
was the killer himself.
He's dead?
Chul is really dead?
Who said that he could die?
I've waited so long for him.
I've waited ten years
for him to find me.
So how can it end?
How can this be the end?
He found out about my death
and became furious.
Did the pipe explode in the bathroom?
THE END
TO BE CONTINUED
He stopped W from ending.
He wanted to end it with me.
Wait a minute. There's someone over there.
Why are you standing there?
It's dangerous.
And now,
he is still wandering there...
because he doesn't know how to come back.
He must be worried. What should I do?
Who would call at this hour?
Hello?
Hello?
You're back?
You're Oh Seong-moo's daughter, right?
You're Oh Yeon-joo, right?
The girl who married Chul.
MR. OH SEONG-MOO'S HOUSE
SHOW PERSONNEL
EMERGENCY CONTACT LIST
-Really?
-Good morning, Su-yeon.
She's sleeping.
She must've gotten
a lot of complaint calls yesterday.
Hey, Su-bong!
Wake up, Su-bong! Wake up now!
-What's wrong?
-Wake up! We have to run!
-What? What's wrong with you?
-Hurry! Where's the car key?
-Find the car key!
-What's going on?
You should first tell me what's going on!
-What's going on?
-Hurry up!
-Did you find the key?
-What is it?
-Hurry!
-What's wrong?
Tell me what's going on!
-Hurry up!
-What's going on?
Hurry!
Gosh!
Go. Hurry up!
Gosh, I got it.
Let me start the car first.
Yeon-joo, do I just keep going?
Where are we going?
Just go as far away
from the house as possible.
Gosh, you're driving me crazy.
What is it now?
I'm so sick of things happening.
Nothing can surprise me now.
Don't answer your phone.
Don't answer calls
from unknown numbers, okay?
Who would call me?
The real killer
-is looking for me.
-What are you talking about?
Go... Go back.
Go back.
Who is that?
Isn't that a gun? It's a gun.
That's a gun, Yeon-joo!
-Back up!
-It's a gun!
-Let go of my hand!
-Hurry up!
Let go of my hand.
What's going on?
Did you check the bathroom?
She's not there.
I'm here.
Mr. Kang?
Wasn't that her voice?
Yes, I found her. We're good now.
Are you okay?
-Are you hurt?
-I...
I almost died.
The killer shot his gun at me.
Where?
He called my dad's house
and I answered it.
He showed up right away
after just a few minutes.
I was running away and he shot me,
but I came here right before I died.
What about Su-bong?
-Who is Su-bong?
-He's my dad's pupil.
He was in the car with me.
Please don't kill me!
I'm so sorry. Please!
I'll be a better person. I'm sorry.
Please spare my life!
Please don't kill me.
I'm sorry.
Yeon-joo?
What if he shot Su-bong?
You're the target.
He won't hurt him without a reason.
I'm worried about my mom.
What if he goes to my mom's place
to look for me?
Shit!
Su-bong! Are you okay?
Are you okay?
I was on my way to Seong-moo's house.
Is Yeon-joo there?
-Ms. Gil.
-Yes?
You can't go there. Go somewhere else.
-That way. You have to go that way.
-What's wrong with you?
You'll get shot if you go this way.
-You'll get shot. Go left.
-Oh, my.
-I'm sorry. Just trust me, please.
-What are you doing?
Go left. Just hurry up and go.
-What's wrong with you?
-Please go now.
ARRIVAL IN SEOUL AUGUST 16TH
Excuse me.
-You're Mr. Oh Seong-moo, right?
-Yes.
I'm a big fan. May I have your autograph?
I wasn't sure if it was you.
I heard you were badly injured.
I guess you've recovered.
I'm fine now.
Is W really over?
Are you planning a sequel?
I just like your work so much.
It was a pleasure.
Ladies and gentleman,
we will be arriving at Auckland
International Airport in 30 minutes.
Are we there? Gosh, this is so tiring.
Who am I?
Who am I?
Where is Chul?
Who am I?
Why won't you say who I am?
Who am I?
Tell me who I am!
Sir, is everything okay?
Sir? Are you okay?
Sir.
Didn't your father tell you anything?
No.
I can't call him. He's still on the plane.
Where were you going?
Isn't this So-hee's place?
I saw it often in the book.
So-hee, it's me. Let me in.
-So-hee.
-What's going on?
-Do you know the code?
-Pardon?
Is there anything you remember
from the book?
Please eat. Why won't you eat?
Aren't you hungry?
My gosh, what is that?
-Don't we look good together?
-Yeon-joo.
He's totally obsessed with So-hee.
-He's making such crazy connections.
-How?
Do you know why So-hee lives in Room 702?
It's because my birthday is July 2nd.
And every one of So-hee's passwords
is 2405.
My cell phone number.
So-hee can't escape from me.
So-hee, you're mine!
Gosh, what is that? That's pathetic.
She's right. You're really pathetic.
Look who's talking.
It's 2405. Her code is 2405.
Stay here. Don't come in.
So-hee.
Chul.
I think I'm dying.
What's wrong with me?
My hands are disappearing. Look at this.
HER HAND DISAPPEARED?
My legs are gone too.
What's happening to me?
It's because you're drunk.
There's nothing wrong with you.
It's because I'm drunk?
Yes, you're drunk.
Let's get you up.
It's a wedding ring.
You're really wearing it.
You really got married.
-So-hee.
-I thought I'd marry you one day.
So what am I?
What am I?
What am I?
It's a misunderstanding, So-hee.
You know it's a fake marriage.
It's all fake.
There's nothing going on between us.
It's a misunderstanding?
Yes, it is.
What are you worried about?
You're very precious to me.
You're the closest person to me.
I need you for the rest of my life.
You need me?
Of course.
You can't leave.
I'm not dying?
Why would you die? That won't happen.
You're drunk now.
Everything will be fine
once you get some rest.
Really?
Yes, really.
I'm going to study computer engineering.
Aren't you going to shoot?
That was just a hobby.
I was hoping for your second
Olympic gold medal.
Your dad will be disappointed.
I can become the world champion
in computers.
Gosh, hey.
You're not a genius who can do anything.
Yes, I'm a genius.
-I'm a genius. Didn't you know?
-What?
You annoying...
Hey.
Come here. You're such a rascal.
I had forgotten
that So-hee was the main female character.
This happened because of me.
It's a horrible fate
that your father created.
The character set-up.
Our reason for existence.
Isn't it cruel
that there is only one reason
for our existence?
We're also human.
It's such a mess.
This isn't the sequel I was hoping for.
To Mr. Oh Seong-moo.
What are you doing?
I'm tying your shoes.
Here is my chance.
Did I do four sweet things now?
This isn't the time for homework.
We're going to get some fresh air.
Isn't this place...
Do you remember?
This is it. You were on the ground
around here, right?
I was so startled because
I thought you were going to die.
You're lucky
that you met such
a skilled doctor like me right then.
I was lucky, indeed.
Promise me one thing.
When you leave this world again,
can you draw me something?
Draw you what?
A dream.
A dream?
A scene where I wake up from a dream.
Make everything that happened
from two months ago when we first met
to this moment a dream.
Make it a long dream.
It isn't hard, is it?
You even brought me back from the dead.
No matter how much I think about it,
that's the only way I can think of.
Going back to the time before I thought
that you were the key to my life.
I met you here for the first time.
Anyway, we have to find her.
I think that woman holds
the key to my life.
I started to wonder about you
and looked for you.
Then you kept getting
pulled into this world.
The world inside a cartoon.
This world is inside a cartoon.
And you are
the main character of that cartoon.
Through you, I learned the truth
I was better off not knowing.
I met your father
and did things I shouldn't have.
The killer followed me then...
And is making a mess
in your world right now.
My friend is close to disappearing.
And most importantly,
you must not die.
I can't watch you die again.
Everything will be resolved if we go back
to the time when we haven't met.
If I don't know you, I won't look for you
or think about you.
Then you won't be pulled into this world.
I won't learn the truth from you.
I won't shoot your father.
The killer won't get out.
No one will be in danger.
Thank you for saving me.
I didn't know how I should live,
but I know now.
I should live according to my fate.
If looking for a killer I can't catch
for the rest of my life
is the reason for my existence,
then so be it.
What do you think?
Do you understand me?
I do.
Can you draw that for me?
This is all a dream
that I had while I was in the hospital.
A dream I can't even remember.
Promise me.
You have to do that immediately
when you go back.
Don't hesitate at all.
He doesn't need to
follow the rules of reason,
so he can appear at any time.
Answer me. We don't have time.
He might be up to something as we speak,
since he doesn't have a personality.
I...
promise.
Okay, then.
It's too bad that we only got to do
four sweet romantic things.
I had over 100 more to do for you.
I want to hug you,
but I can't do that.
It may make me change my mind.
Are you going somewhere?
We're running out of time,
and this is the only sure way.
Yeon-joo,
forget me.
I'm just a cartoon character.
When you want to see me,
go to a bookstore
and see me in the comic book.
Okay?
Take care.
According to the hospital, Kang Chul,
who was attacked by an unknown man,
is now recovering and in stable state.
The front of the hospital
is currently swarming with people
who are worried about him.
The police are searching for
the assailant who attacked him.
However, they do not have any clear leads.
This is M News.
You're up.
How are you feeling?
-Did they find anything?
-Not yet.
They're checking the surveillance videos,
but it'll take time.
You know how slow they are.
Were you crying?
-What?
-Those look like tears.
I don't know. I think I had a dream.
It must've been a pretty sad dream.
I don't remember.
Would you get me some water?
Okay.
Anyway, your problem is
that you are too reckless.
Why would you go up there alone?
You were just asking for it.
You're lucky the waiter happened
to go up there.
Why would you meet someone
you don't know alone?
I'll accept the shitty fate
you've given me.
Just as I drew it...
-What a pretty ring.
-...Chul forgot everything.
This is a fresh start.
Chul will catch the killer
and then marry So-hee.
No one remembers me there,
and no one in this world
knows what I went through.
I called you because I want
to end it right.
I already picked the face.
He is the only person
Chul will accept as the real killer.
Dr. "Oh Yeon-joo"?
