The head, shoot the head.
How many times do I need to tell you idiots?
Use your goddamn brain for once.
The witch: Part 1. The subversion
Look at you.
Why bother going after her?
Dumb kid.
Go and wash up.
Get out of my sight, get going!
Are you deaf?
Don't be a pest, screw off, you idiot!
Don't you dare look at me!
Take him.
And the girl?
You lost her then?
Do you...
Always work this poorly?
Not like these kids are normal.
Indeed.
They are inherently on a different level.
Keep looking for her, however,
report her to the hq as decommissioned.
What?
She won't last long anyway.
You know that.
Don't you?
Her condition is different than yours, Mr. choi.
She'll die on the run.
Isn't that a bigger problem? Her out in the wild?
Don't worry about that.
She's only 8 years old.
Enough.
See you, I'm starving.
What the hell am I doing at this hour?
Drive!
Come here, eat.
Isn't this a kid?
Oh man...
Oh jeez...
Hey there.
Kiddo, oh my...
Honey!
This is not good, is she still alive?
Honey, over here! Come here quick!
Honey!
This is terrible...
No need to worry.
The wounds are external, she'll recover.
I see.
However...
I wonder if her memories will come back.
You said she doesn't know her name or age.
Yes, thank you so much.
What will you do with her when she gets better?
Well...
10 years later
come on, mister.
It's not like we're strangers.
My babies have starved for 2 days now.
You know things are bad nowadays.
I know what you're going through.
But you won't help?
You and my dad go way back.
Of course, Mr. koo and I are really tight.
I know that.
So please, sir.
Do me this favor.
Even so, I've given you too much credit.
I'll pay you next month.
Hey, stop that! You little bastard!
What are you doing?!
She said her kids are starving, those cows have to eat.
You ugly little shit!
Mister! I got 12 bags total.
Okay, sure.
Wait, ja-yoon...
Dad, let her go.
- See you. - I'm off!
- Ja-yoon, then, um... - Take care.
- Will you stop? - Then next month...
- Jesus, dad. - Pay some of the credit...
You stupid bastard! Are you under her spell?
Give her our house too, why don't ya?
Don't be so cheap to people we know!
Cheap? I've had it!
Why do you lose your shit whenever you see her?
She's pretty.
Spineless prick!
Goddammit, you useless shit!
I'll never find a bigger idiot on this earth!
So much paternal love in the air.
Why, she robbed again?
Come on, man.
That idiot pretty much gave everything to her.
She shouldn't keep driving without a license.
She really shouldn't.
Let her be.
Her father's not well.
She'll be legal age next year.
Of course I let her be, I'm just worried, that's all.
How about a coffee break?
Coffee? That sounds good.
Good.
Daddy!
You took my truck again?
Didn't I tell you it's dangerous?
I drive so much better than you.
Give me that, I'll do it.
You're not even well, go inside, dad.
I can take over on the weekends.
It's okay, it's like an exercise.
I won't die so easily.
Go calm your mother.
She even skipped lunch.
Why? Another tantrum?
Go on.
Come inside soon.
I brought fodders, I'll feed them later.
You should buy some clothes, dress more like a girl.
Boys will never be interested in you.
I always wear school uniform.
No need to worry,
just promise me you won't cry at my wedding.
Eat when I got food. Come here.
Mom?
Mom!
My baby's here, give me a hug.
Mom, why didn't you eat again?
Dad made delicious porridge.
Listen, I didn't eat breakfast today,
so I was a little hungry, and told him to eat lunch early.
Then your dad said,
I ate breakfast earlier.
Sure, I forget things lately, but would I forget eating?
How dare he treat me like a patient?
Yeah, we skipped breakfast, why's dad like that?
He must've forgotten.
- Right? - Yeah.
I was hungry during lunchtime.
I knew it!
Your dad's being weird lately.
Maybe he has dementia.
I'll make you a wonderful dinner.
- Let's eat early. - Okay.
What'd you like?
Anything.
Anything made by my beautiful daughter.
Renowned geneticist han min-su was found dead
in a house fire with his family yesterday.
Due to stab wounds on the body, it's considered as a homicide,
and the police are actively seeking suspects.
As price of cattle continues to free fall,
it's laking a toll on the livestock industry.
Reporter song has the story.
Emply cattle sheds are a common sight.
It's been a while since anyone has heard...
Did the fodder shop say anything?
Like what? What'd they say?
I better sell a few more cattle.
No, dad.
It's too cheap now, we'll lose so much.
It's better than starving them.
I heard you drove the truck again.
My dad saw you, you shrew.
Don't you know it's illegal for a minor to drive?
You'll get locked up one of these days.
But your dad's a cop,
he won't dare arrest his daughter's best friend.
I'd hate to be right, just go legit.
He's anal when it comes to separating work and home.
If I ever get arrested, I won't go down alone.
I'll tattle on you for wasting textbook money.
Why do I get punished for your wrongdoing?
That has nothing to do with your crime.
How many times did you lie about our sleepover to meet ki-young?
Why do you bring him up here?
I never did that 4 or 5 times!
Doh myung-hee, you're no joke.
Are minors allowed sleepovers with boys?
Stop it.
Wait, the guy who came to my place...
Are you nuts?
Put a leash on your dad if you want me to keep my mouth shut.
A cunning bitch... You're a shrew!
- You drive me insane! - Don't hit me!
You said you need money, right?
Why? You'll give me some?
You shrew!
Check it out.
Finally! Birth of a star/
the prize is $500,000.
With that money, your cows,
and your mom"s hospital bills are taken care of, right?
Let me look at you.
My professional opinion is,
your face needs some work done,
but it'll do for now, you could do it.
I guarantee it.
- This is crazy. - Right?
What TV show is this?
This show's ads are everywhere,
and everyone at school are all gonna apply,
stop playing with cows and watch TV for once, you shrew!
It's not the stone age.
What's with the 'shrew'?
Shut it, you shrew, keep watching.
We'll begin the interview!
Ms. koo ja-yoon, we'll start with a short interview.
Don't be nervous and just be yourself.
Okay.
Is this your first time applying to an audition?
Yes.
So you've never learned to sing?
No.
19 years old, high school senior?
Yes.
Your friend said you study really well.
♪ 1 in your school.
Really?
That's too much, she's got the looks, smarts,
it won't be fair if she sang well too.
Sorry about that.
No need to be sorry, what will you sing?
Well, it's...
Birth of a star
best score! Amazing!
We're going to Seoul!
I love it! I told you you'd get in!
I'm lady luck, just follow my lead!
Go slow, I'm tired.
What a weakling!
Give me your bag, you shrew.
Let's go!
- You love it that much? - Absolutely!
My daughter's the prettiest.
And the best singer too!
You always had a great voice, everyone said you should sing.
Come on, not really.
It's been so long since I've seen true talent,
do you have any special skills?
I don't have anything...
I think you do.
If this is considered one, I have a small one...
Something like impersonation?
No, it's nothing like that, more like magic.
Try it, I'm curious.
Like this...
Ja-yoon! Why did you...
Mom, I...
Lady and gent, it's totally cool.
Special skills are all the rage nowadays.
By showing something special,
she'll get extra exposure on social networks.
You did good!
Your skill always amazes me, how do you do it?
I should try too.
I could be on their next season.
Hello?
I'm tired, I'll go to bed.
Have a good night.
What? Not again.
Sleep at your own place!
You're used to it by now. You know you like it.
Just say you do. Good night.
Right! I got dips on the window-side!
Hey!
Baby, I just...
I'll be careful.
You don't need to worry.
You saw them, they loved it.
I don't want to be famous.
When I win the prize money, I don't need to go back.
I'll get $30,000 just for reaching semi-finals.
But I'm scared.
I told you before,
people can't stand anyone who are different than them.
I'm just scared you'll leave us.
Don't say that again.
You're talking like a granny.
She's not going anywhere.
He's right, where'd I go?
I'm gonna stay here and live forever with you.
Don't worry.
Let's sleep, it's late.
My baby... right?
Wait! We need to get on!
Wait! We're going to Seoul! Wait for us!
Thank youl!
17, 18, over there!
Excuse us!
That was too damn close.
What's with sudden live broadcast?
And why was our teacher so talkative today?
Hate that douche.
So hungry, we won't get to eat.
Aren't you hungry?
So I brought...
- Tada! - What is it?
Just for this occasion!
Boiled eggs.
My super preparedness and timely menu selection,
I'm pretty incredible, if I say so myself.
Eggs and 7 ups are the best for train rides.
You shrew.
At least have the decency to say a thank you.
So good!
It's amazing!
Don't you think I'm good at stuff like this?
I think I was born to be a manager.
Shut up and give me 7 up.
- 7 up? - Yeah.
By the way,
shouldn't we sign a contract?
I trust you unconditionally,
I do, but it's a tough world out there.
We split fairly 50-50.
50-507?
Don't you think that's a bit too much?
It all starts that way.
Agencies in Seoul force talents to sign slave contracts.
You girls are too funny.
What the hell?
Look at that face...
Absolutely amazing.
Who are you? Do you know us?
Sure.
Really well, how could I not know?
Someone you know?
You cunning shrew, you've been dating a hottie?
I don't know him.
- Really? - Yeah.
You saw her on TV? 'Birth of a star.'
she got the highest score in the preliminaries.
She did cool magic and stuff, you know?
I do, really well.
Ms. koo ja-yoon.
You got a name too, koo ja-yoon.
It's better than calling each other numbers, right?
Am I right, Ms. witch?
He knows your nickname, he must be a fan.
But how did you...
It's a matter of privacy, I hope it's not online...
Come on.
Don't remember?
What?
What do you mean?
You don't...
[You don't have to put up with your act.
Come on, now...
You forgot that day? Is that possible?
You know me?
Of course I do!
You know me too.
What's with you?
I think you've mistaken me for someone else.
I don't know you.
Yeah?
Hey, mister.
Is she for real?
What are you doing? Are you insane?!
Ja-yoon, you okay?
So frigging interesting...
Help, there's a pervert here!
My dad is a cop!
You're gonna be in trouble!
Let's meet again.
Screw that, who the hell do you think you are!
Psychotic bastard!
I knew he was up to no good when he took my egg!
It's okay, don't cry.
I drank last night, I'll be there in a bit.
Don't worry about it, okay.
Yo, meat bag.
Meat bag? Did you call me that?
Is there anyone else here? Fucking deaf.
What the fuck are you?
I'll call you right back.
You won't be able to call back.
Did something crawl up your ass?
Are you nuts?!
You grabbed me?
I did, you country hick.
Uncle!
Why did you drink so much already?
Uncle!
Make everyone remember you
$500,000 grand prize
give everything you've got
birth of a star
Country girl koo ja-yoon
move! Move! Let us through!
Where do we go? Where is it?
Ja-yoon, hurry! Come on!
Hurry the hell up! We're late!
Why does she always pretend to be a weakling in public?
Give me your bag.
Thank you, my friend!
Shut up, you gotta treat your manager well, got it?
50-50, no matter what!
We're gonna be late, let's run! Come on!
Slow down...
It's okay.
Wait, I'm not done yet!
- Little more powder! - That's enough!
- Koo ja-yoon? - Yes, this is she!
Why are you late? It's a live show today!
- I'm so sorry! - Just go.
- Just go? - No, hurry too!
It's her, she's the one.
Didn't you say she'd die while on the run?
Study her carefully, no more mistakes.
It's really her.
How could I not recognize her?
Look at her, she's amazing!
I'm getting goosebumps.
Mr. choi, you finally found her.
Who will advance to quarterfinals?
The winner is!
Country girl, koo ja-yoon!
Congratulations!
She received overwhelming votes from the jury and audiences.
She's quickly becoming a frontrunner to win!
Nice! Nice!
To the quarterfinals! This is my friend!
- I'm so nervous... - Wait, ja-yoon!
Let's take a selfiel
ja-yoon?
Amazing! Good job!
Thank you, producer.
The audience reaction was explosive.
The show's gonna be a big hit from the start.
Thank you.
Remember that magic you did last time?
Yes.
Can you do something like that?
Of course, she can do crap load...
I mean, a lot.
Let's put on a special.
But that's...
It'll be a huge hit.
That's after she wins, then we'll talk specials.
- Producer Kim! - Anyway...
Let's think about it in a positive light, okay?
Positive...
- See you next week. - Okay.
Good job, have a safe trip back.
- Thank you. - Bye, thank you.
He's a douche.
We're gonna be late for the train, let's go.
Oh yeah! The train! Give me your bag!
Let's go!
Ja-yoon...
I understand your predicament,
but we have to let your parents know.
It's not about the surgery bill,
it's a matter of life and death.
You're running out of time.
How much time exactly?
1 month, 2-3 months at the most.
Bone marrow transplant from biological parents is the only way.
There's no other way.
Ja-yoon, are you okay?
I'm not ja-yoon.
Sorry!
Ja-yoon! Ja-yoon!
I'm not her too!
- Sorry! - I'm over here.
- I'm coming out. - Where? Here?
- You got a nosebleed? - Yeah.
Oh no! What do we do?!
Are you really okay?
It's not even news now,
let's get taxi, we're late.
Okay, I'll get one.
I love riding Seoul taxis!
There's one! Taxi!
I thought he was gonna stop...
Why is he parking in front of us?
Ms. koo ja-yoon? Right?
Yes, who are you?
Could we talk?
You looked good on TV.
If it's about that, you gotta talk to me first.
Just for a bit, it won't take long.
We're actually late for our train.
Yeah? Then get in, we can talk on the way.
Come, hop in.
Mister.
Sir, I think we're better off taking a taxi.
Okay, you can take a taxi, get her one.
Get her an uber, so she's not late.
We'll take you there, hop in.
Taxi! Taxi!
Out of the way!
To the Seoul station! Please hurry!
Those guys looked scary, I was scared shitless.
Why the hell is it raining?
It's gonna pour later, I can tell.
Where's the damn bus!
That's bizarre, it's really late.
It should've been here a long time ago.
Yeah, why is it so late?
Should I ask dad for a ride?
He must be busy, don't bother him.
Who cares, he's not on a patrol.
And I really gotta piss... What do I do?
Wait, I got a call.
Speak of the devil!
Hey dad.
Us?
Wow, so we meet again.
We're meeting too often, right?
What are you doing here like an idiot?
Waiting for the bus?
I saw one with flat tires, maybe that's yours?
Too bad, it's raining too.
You really need to get home soon.
[They're pretty old, huh?
[It wouldn't be so strange if they just died.
What?
Hurry home.
[You better get home.
[Godspeed!
Dang it!
Hey! Ja-yoon! Where are you going?!
To the taxi stop! I have to get home now!
Call your dad and tell him to get to my place! Now!
I just talked to him, hold on a sec.
Hello?
She hung up on me?
That punk.
Turn the car around.
Let's drop by at Mr. koo's farm.
She chose it well, a perfect hiding spot.
What're you waiting for?
Let's get it over with and go home.
Hello there.
I'm officer doh from this area.
May I see your ids?
Where did dad go?
Dad!
You're back? Come sit down.
It's raining, shut the door.
Why did you leave the lights off?
The lights?
It's on, the light's back on.
Checkmate.
Eh?
What happened? Was this here before?
You owe me $50.
Look at you, a cop betting money.
I'll give you $50.
It's a checkmate.
Wait, wasn't it my turn?
- Kimchi pancake! - Are you still a cop?
$50!
Anyway, we'll get going.
- Take care of yourself. - Okay, $50!
Stop teasing him.
Go inside.
Those guys earlier, do you know them?
Why?
They're Americans,
nothing unusual came up on my database.
But I definitely felt something odd about them.
They had that look.
Why were they here?
I don't know either.
I think they've mistaken me for someone else.
Is that so?
That's baffling, anyway, go inside.
See you.
Sweetie, wait for me.
- Come on, dad! - Okay!
I'm coming.
- Is my bag heavy? - It's alright.
Sir, lights in the garden are on.
That can't be.
Even my family doesn't know the passcode there.
[That was quick.
Oh, this?
I'm gonna have a bonfire.
I was gonna burn down the house, but they said this is good enough.
You...
Look at his face.
You should've listened,
when we said we needed you.
Words don't mean anything when said nicely?
So that's it?
You could've just killed me,
why kill my family?
Right.
We were only told to kill you.
[But I got so bored.
[Sorry.
[Anyway,
[it's time.
[Good bye.
Isn't this fun?
I heard you're moving to hq.
It worked out that way.
How did you know?
It didn't look like a temp gig.
Why don't you take a break? Go on a vacation.
What do you mean by that?
I'm not implying anything, a break is a break.
You've worked nonstop for almost 20 years.
Anywhere you'd like to go? We'll cover the expenses.
Since when were you so concerned with my break?
I hope you don't have another agenda.
What agenda?
For example...
I'll be frank since it's you,
look the other way and walk away.
Hq made their decision, we've already shut down.
You're safe, so take a tour in Europe.
I'll setup a job for you at hq while you're away.
I'm quite capable, you know that.
Let's meet at hq.
Alright,
what about the girl?
The girl? Who?
Oh, her.
She was our property from the beginning.
We'll take care of her, so ease your mind.
What do you plan to do?
She's a monster.
You know that.
You can't control her, she's out of your hands.
You can't let her live.
You think so?
I'd hate to lose our investment.
Okay, fine!
Stop frowning.
It scares me when you frown.
Prof. Baek is being weird?
Prof. Han then, Dr. ko this time.
They were both renowned researchers in my program.
Could it be a coincidence?
We got new players in the game?
A few kids were brought in from the hq 2 months ago,
but they're made in America, so iding them isn't easy.
We're looking into it.
Interesting...
Alright, proceed.
Do as you see fit, but bring it back.
The girl I mean, you said you need her dead.
Sure, she could be a liability.
Kill her.
Just bring this to me.
We could use a proof of all our hard work.
How's your condition?
Once we open her up, we'll find a way to fix you all.
Proceed.
Yeah, let's wrap it up.
Clean it up nicely.
That's why a fan club is important.
Family members, extended families, friends,
they all vote online and on the phone too.
They're in the audience, screaming “I love you, ja-yoon!”
“Pearl-like, ja-yoon!”
Screaming and cheering are essential.
So when people see that,
they'll think she's really popular, and take her seriously.
You know those big entertainment agencies?
They got fan clubs for this reason, it's all about manpower!
Every bit helps.
Why won't you listen?
Myung-hee, you're spitting.
Eat your dinner.
You're neanderthals.
I'm gonna eat everything.
Who are they and why're they eating with us?
Where did ja-yoon go?
She needs to eat well.
Go find her, she's gotta eat.
I'll go.
- If you're done... - Ja-yoon!
Let's go upstairs.
Yeah, mom, I'll eat plenty.
Don't worry and get some rest.
Why did you call me mom?
Have you seen ja-yoon?
It bothers me that she's so weak.
If you're done, let's go upstairs.
I'll find her and feed her later.
- Is she here? - Of course.
- Yeah? - Let's go.
By the way “yes?
Something's strange about her.
I think she's looking for her real parents.
I found newspaper clippings while cleaning,
she gathered information about orphanages.
And looking up stuff online too.
Isn't that to look for her biological parents?
No, of course not.
Let's go upstairs.
I gotta pee, I drank too much coffee...
Who are you?
Mom...
Myung-hee!
Hi, ja-yoon.
So we meet again.
Would you remember more if I called you little witch?
Why're you doing this to me?
It's not me.
Like hell, bitch.
I almost died in your hands.
How could I mistake you?
Please...
You got the wrong girl...
I'm not the one you're looking for.
Then prove it.
What?
Prove to me that you're not the one.
But how...
Myung-hee!
Your friend's gonna die.
It's not me, it's really not me.
Why are you doing this to me?
I'm not the girl, I really am not.
I told you.
It's not me.
It's not Mel
You got a problem with me?
Don't you ever listen?
I told you it's not me.
Like hell...
Then...
What are you right now?
You monster...
I should've killed you back then.
Myung-hee...
Jesus fucking Christ!
You are incredible...
Just look at this!
You're in a class of your own.
[How is it?
[Your memories all coming back?
Old farts?
[You don't have to worry about them.
[They are just taking a nap.
If you do as we say, we won't cause any problems.
We're different from these useless fucks.
Who are you?
Why are you doing this to me?
What do you want from me?
Holy shit!
Your acting's top notch!
I got goosebumps.
Yo, sidekick!
Don't you think she's weird?
What is?
My friend's not weird at all.
She's so normal.
Is your brain decorative?
Try to think for once.
Listen carefully.
She farms, does chores, or hangs out with you,
have you ever seen her studying?
No, right?
But she's always top of her class.
Not just class, she's on a national level.
She could be at national level for everything.
She just doesn't want to attract suspicion.
She's keeping a low profile.
What else?
She's good at singing, drawing,
acting, she even acts so well!
She can pick up new languages by listening to it once.
You should be thanking the company, you bitch.
Who are you?
I don't believe this.
You really don't remember?
I really don't.
So tell me,
who are you?
You did this to me, you don't remember?
I don't know, I really don't...
Okay, I'll take your word.
But you'll have to come with us.
I'll help you get your memories back.
Come.
Aren't you curious?
Come with us.
Or we could kill everyone you know in this town.
That's fine with us too.
[No worries.
[Do what you feel is best for you.
[We are professionals.
Ja-yoon...
I'll be back.
Take care of mom and dad.
Is this all the field agents?
You chose the perfect home.
A senior couple,
who lost their son and grandchild.
An intelligent couple, an ex-architect from the states...
So perfect.
I bet you selected them from a long list, right?
You were certain they'd never leave you.
You were an irresistible child.
So?
Old memories coming back?
[So you're that fucking great, huh?
[Let's see what you've got.
Goddamn idiot.
Ignoring me?
The ride feels smooth.
Are we going on a drive?
Step the fuck on!
Good to have you back!
I've looked for you for over 10 years...
I thought you were dead.
It's so good to see you alive.
You grew up so well.
Oh my...
I'm getting misty.
My name is koo ja-yoon.
What is this place,
and why are you doing this to me?
Oh yeah.
No memories, right?
That day was indeed brutal.
You were hurt quite a bit, and a major shock fo you foo.
Sure, I predicted that.
You wouldn't have willingly appeared on TV to help us track you down.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean 'that day'?
Make yourself comfortable.
I'll help you remember.
What are you doing? Let go of me!
She's closest thing to perfection.
You okay?
Is anything coming back?
It'll feel so out of place,
but don't worry, I'm a specialist.
I'm the best brain specialist in the world right now.
No one has played with more brains than me,
especially genetically engineered brains like yours.
What have you people...
Done to me?
Look at her talk, done to you?
You're starting to make me feel bad.
You should be thanking me
for making you so pretty and giving you the power, no?
I created you.
I'm a mother to you.
You tried to kill us all.
I had...
My reasons back then.
Your generation was a success.
Of course it had to, it was my work.
You were different from first gen experiments
by those idiots who simply fempered with brains.
But once we succeeded our experiments,
there was a change of heart.
The hq was starting fo get scared.
There was no way to control you guys.
It's understandable.
There were 2 underlying themes:
Heightened physicality and violent nature,
by transplanting physically perfect genes and nurturing you with violence.
You were special.
You stood out even from kids in your classification.
You were closest to the perfection I desired.
But being on top makes one nervous.
Inability to control something is a detestable trait
Ultimately, we were ordered to decommission you all.
I couldn't pull the trigger, you were my life's work.
But that's how the world works, it was out of my hands.
We actually made a mistake.
You.
We underestimated you for being a kid.
You were absolutely incredible that day.
No one who stepped in front of you survived.
So, do you remember now?
That's how you were created, do you understand?
We've looked for you everywhere, and never in our wildest dreams,
we thought you'd be living such an ordinary life.
You're incapable of that, am I right?
Violence is your nature, it's all science.
We assumed you were dead,
and your brain should've exploded by now,
so we naturally made that assumption.
Then you showed up on TV.
And as if to prove that it's you, you've put on a show.
Does your head hurt?
Feels like your eyes will pop with a bad migraine.
Symptoms are at their peak.
When untreated, you'll bleed from every hole in your boay,
and then...
You die.
Why do you think we only use a fraction of our brain?
There's a reason for everything.
You knew that too.
That's why you limited your bodily functions,
to control the symptoms.
You were often called a weakling, right?
But you searched for a permanent solution.
You knew you wouldn't last very long.
But it's all pointless.
The only solution is bone marrow transplant,
but you don't know your biological parents.
Fuck!
That's right.
I am the only solution you've been searching for.
The one who can save you from pain and death.
Koo ja-yoon, you bitch!
How does it feel? Incredible, right?
With this, you can use your power to the fullest.
Godsend!
This is my gift fo you.
But it'll only last a month.
Without another shot, your symptom will accelerate.
In other words, you need it every month.
Do you like my gift?
Frankly...
It's better than I expected.
What did she say?
I knew it'd come to this.
I knew you had a solution.
What?
What? What's going on?
- She baited us. - What?
We didn't find her, that bitch found us.
Hello, professor, it's been a while.
Deploy nerve gas.
Turn it off.
Turn it off now!
Do it, asshole!
Where did she go?
So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
Have you been well?
You...
Sure, I know who I am and who you are perfectly well.
How could a smart girl like me ever forget that?
I've not forgotten it even for a day.
How could I forget such an excruciating day?
Right?
So...
You planned it all?
Yup, I've been searching for you for a long time.
But...
That wasn't an easy feat.
So I switched my plan.
It was a bit risky, but I was running out of time.
You're gonna die.
There isn't much time.
That's right, bingo!
I made you find me.
Clever girl!
You created me like this.
I was so worried that I'd die like this.
I can't die alone, that wouldn't be fair.
I wanted to take everyone with me.
But first,
I need this.
Where's the formula?
Goddamn pest.
Don't be a pest, screw off, you idiot!
Shoot the head! Aim properly!
They won't die, get a headshot!
He's still alive!
Yo!
Who'll take my pretty head?
How could you...
You've gotten stronger since then.
Fuck...
Maybe I should've killed you.
You should have.
Or you wouldn't die in my hands today.
You still talk out of your ass.
And you still underestimate me.
Be careful, I'm not the same as before.
Come on.
You said so,
I'm in a class of my own.
Still too slow.
Goddammit!
Professor.
Wait for me.
This won't take long.
Not good enough.
Never was.
Good shot!
Why can't you get along, like 2 good monsters.
Don't worry.
I'll kill both of you equally.
Mr. choi! The head! Aim for the head!
Kill those monsters!
Head?
How?
Like this?
No, like this.
Mr. choi! Good job!
I'll take you to the hq...
I'm too busy to hear you fucking yap.
Taking your fucking turns, eh?
Oh, I see...
I almost forgot about you.
So it's just us then?
The rest are in the control room safe.
Where is it made?
Hq research facility, probably.
Where is it?
If you're the last one standing, I'll tell you.
You want to keep fighting?
Or what?
You'll let me go?
Nope.
Right?
Just a thought.
I'll kill you!
You wanted to see,
how great I am.
I'll show you.
Fuck...
Our lives are so fucked up...
We can't even die properly.
Don't feel so fucked up.
I'll kill you.
Where's the research facility?
But isn't it all pointless?
Koo ja-yoon, eh?
Koo ja-yoon...
You can't go back.
You want to live like this?
If it was me...
I'd die as koo ja-yoon.
No, I'm gonna live.
As koo ja-yoon.
After this? How? You think it's possible?
Life doesn't always work out the way you want to.
Where's the facility?
You're back.
Girls shouldn't go around like that.
Good thing your mom fell asleep.
She'd have been so shocked to see you like that.
Give this to mom.
Once a month, for 8 months.
Her condition won't worsen.
Don't you need that?
This is enough for me.
Maybe it's better for her to let nature take its course.
It'll be hard for her.
I'll be back, no matter what.
Take care of yourself.
No matter how you were born, we didn't raise you like that.
As you grew up, so many cows and dogs were killed,
I was actually scared,
thinking that we took in and raised a witch.
I regretted it too.
Shouldn't have taken you in...
I wanted to send you away if I could find a way.
But your mom said no.
She said you were a kid and that all kids are like that.
She said if we raise you with love,
you'd become a lovely girl.
Go on, don't be late.
That shrew...
Hurry back, you shrew.
3 months later
So you're the one.
Nice to meet you.
How should I address you?
I've heard a lot about you from my sister.
Have you heard what happened to her?
You found me somehow.
Isn't that what you wanted.
You ransacked so many places for those.
I need something more permanent.
Someone told me to find you for that.
No, don't do that, mom's fine.
If you touch me, I'll take your head.
