EPISODE 10
By the way, Jung Se-ju's level is so high, you know.
He's at the highest level.
Do you think he's hiding because he fears Marco?
No way, right?
Why did he call us here instead of showing up?
What do you think the reason is?
There must've been another problem, right?
I'm so curious.
We'll find out when we get there.
Right?
We shall find out.

When?
About five minutes ago.
Where?
A train station, I think.
He logged out at Granada Station.
Is this Granada Station?
Help me find someone.
A Korean man is looking for his friend.
He's also Korean, and he's in his mid 30s.
All right, thank you.
Please help me level up.

Yes, sir. Did you find Mr. Seo?
I need you to do something.
That's the story about the past year of my life.
The story about the unbelievable,
bizarre things that happened to me.
By now, would everyone know
why I began telling this story?
This is my will.
A will to explain
the reason behind the death
in case I or we end up
being found dead somewhere in Granada.
INCOMING CALL JUNG HEE-JU
But do you know why I'm in Granada now?
In about a year, Granada will be more famous
for something else than the Alhambra.
-For what? -Magic.
"Magic"?
Yes, that's right.
From now on, Granada will be known as a magical city.
Bewitched by magic, people will flood this city like a flock of bees.
They will stay here for as long as a month
instead of staying for a couple of days.
Rich people with time and money to spend
will come here instead of a Mediterranean island.
That was...

And I was completely wrong for the other half.

Hey.
Hi.
Dude, your level is very high.
It's been a long time since I last saw a user at above level 90.
How about you join us for a drink?
I'm looking for someone.
Who are you looking for?
Tracking people down is our specialty.
His ID is City Hunter.
Find him for me. I lost him at the train station.
I've never heard that name before.
It won't be an easy job. You'll have to pay us.
We want 300 gold coins to take on the job.
Also, another 300 gold coins
as a deposit.
Then when we find him,
you'll have to give us another 1,000 as a compensation.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ASSIGN THE QUEST TO THE PIRATES OF MÁLAGA?
-Nice. -Look!
Look.
Take it.
Take all the money.
If we find City Hunter,
where should we send City Hunter?

8 HOURS AGO
I'll tell my people at work so that you can see it from there.
Call this guy.
Hello?
Is this Mr. Choi Yang-ju?
Yes, that's me.
I'm calling from the information desk.
You have a guest that wishes to see you.
A guest? Who is it?
Jung Hee-ju?
I don't know anyone named...
Oh, I know her.
Yes, I'll be right there. Bye.
Excuse me. Are you Ms. Jung Hee-ju?
Yes.
Hello. Mr. Yoo told me about you.
Please follow me.
Come on. Hurry up.
Hurry.
Mr. Yoo called yesterday and told me that you'll be here.
I heard you're Jung Se-ju's older sister.
I already received your business card.
Hello, my name is Choi Yang-ju. And I work in the Research Center.
Emma...
My gosh.
Goodness.
Damn it.
Gosh.
Please come inside.
Take a seat.
I've never been to an IT company before.
Your office is quite unusual.
Where do you live?
-Pardon? -Are you married?
Are you married?
-No. -Oh, I see.
You're not married. Okay.
You look beautiful in person.
Do you know me?
No... No, I don't know you.
Mr. Yoo told me to come here and monitor him.
I couldn't fully understand.
He said he has to complete a quest that my brother sent
in order to find where my brother is.
Oh, that. It's a secret quest.
Your brother put a lock on it and hid it.
Pardon?
Only the person who created the game knows how it can be opened.
We may have bought the license,
but there weren't any explanations about this,
so the problem is that we don't know anything.
Your brother hasn't shown up yet.
So we were trying to block the code to prevent
the secret quest from starting.
And because we were working on a new design for each level,
the launch was being delayed.
The main problem was that the quest was locked.
Things would be a lot easier if your brother was here.
But he's... That's what's making it so hard for us.
And the quest that Mr. Yoo received
can only be opened in Granada.
But I have no idea what it's about and what will happen
during the quest.
No one knows about the quest at all.
Isn't it so cool?
But you see, this is going to be really fun.
I've been really looking forward to this quest.
So I think
it'll be really fun
if we watch it together.
It's Mr. Yoo.
He must've arrived in Granada.
Hello? Sir.
Did you arrive safely?
-I was about to call you. -Find Jeong-hun.
Mr. Seo? Isn't he with you now?
I lost him.
Hold on, please. His ID is City Hunter, right?
Is there something wrong?
Let's wait for a couple of days.
That's the least we can do.
Jin-woo already knows everything.
He even knows that he'll get dismissed.
He went there to find a solution.
How is playing a game going to find a solution?
He believes that he'll be able to find Se-ju this time.
If he succeeds in finding the developer,
we'll be able to clarify so many things.
Even about Hyeong-seok.
Se-ju is the only one
who knows the cause of Hyeong-seok's death
and what he did in Granada.
Please delay the board meeting.
I'll give up on Jin-woo
if he really turns out to be crazy.
A mentally ill patient
shouldn't be working in the company.
You still have hopes for Jin-woo?
I shouldn't
give up on him.
He's my friend, after all.
I even disowned my son.
Don't you think you're holding onto him
for way too long just because he's your friend?
I covered up my son's death for the sake of the company.
Meanwhile, you still have hopes just because he's your friend?
I thought you covered it up for Jin-woo.
It was for the company.
By the way,
last night,
Yu-ra came to see me.
Pardon?
Darn it.
How dare you show up in front of me?
Professor Cha, I got divorced.
You're happy, aren't you? You must feel relieved.
After all, you hated me the most.
You got divorced for doing something bad,
so you should be repenting on your behavior.
Why did you come see me?
Well, you see...
I came to tell you an amusing story.
An amusing story?
It's something you must hear.
Professor,
it'll be just between us. All right?
What did she say?
She was right.
It was an amusing story.
I don't think I've ever told you...
about my grandchild.
My one and only grandchild.
I ran a paternity test on him.
Sorry?
I thought otherwise,
but he truly is of my blood.
I honestly thought he wasn't.
Why would you think that?
If you were me,
could you trust someone like Su-jin?
All right, fine.
I waited for a year.
A few more days would do no harm.
I'll wait.
I'm looking forward
to what Jin-woo
will bring back from there.
ONE NEW EMAIL FROM YOO JIN-WOO
YOO JIN-WOO WILL
What's wrong with him?
This is my will.
A will to explain
the reason behind the death
in case I or we end up
being found dead somewhere in Granada.
Sir, you have a visitor.
A visitor?
Yes, she says her name is Jung Hee-ju.
Who?
Hello, do you remember me?
I met you in Granada last year
when Mr. Yoo was hospitalized.
How have you been, Ms. Jung?
What brings you here?
Jeong-hun's been updating me on how you were.
I couldn't reach Mr. Yoo and I got worried.
He went to Spain yesterday to find my brother.
Yes, I know.
He's suddenly been out of reach.
I think something happened, so I came to ask.
Please have a seat.
I'm about to look into it now.
Please sit.
I can't get a hold of Jin-woo either, but since Jeong-hun is there--
He isn't answering his phone either.
I don't think they're together.
Yes, Mr. Park.
Where's Jin-woo?
He went to Granada to test the game.
I've been monitoring him, but we got disconnected.
Nothing's visible on my screen.
He's not answering his phone.
-That's because he's underground. -Underground?
The dungeon of the Alhambra.
That's where the quest lies.
I was skeptical, but the dungeon gates opened.
it's a restricted area though.
When did he go in?
About 30 minutes ago.
What about Jeong-hun?
I don't know.
They must've parted at the station.
Mr. Yoo tried to look for him,
but entered the dungeon without Mr. Seo.
He won't be able to complete the quest alone though.
The difficulty level is the highest,
and it requires at least two users.
That means a group of four is the safest bet.
However, the quest is only open for a limited time,
so he didn't have time to wait.
Are you saying
that he has no chance of succeeding?
He won't be able to complete the quest.
Not without Mr. Seo.
Okay, all right.
Call me once he comes back online.
Sure thing.
What the hell is going on?
WILL FROM YOO JIN-WOO
If one of us dies,
or if you can't reach us, shut down the server first.
That means that the game is flawed.
Not right now though.
If you close the server right now, I won't be able to find Se-ju.
If you can't reach me even after the quest ends,
I want you to make a decision.
Well...
He's out of reach because he went underground.
There's nothing to worry about.
He's only playing a game after all.
He's in the middle of a quest,
so don't worry.
I'm sure he's busy shooting his guns.
Lucky, isn't he?
A CEO took a plane all the way over there just to play a game.
He said he'll be able to find my brother if he completes the quest.
Do you believe that?
Do you really believe him?
Does he seem sane to you?
You saw how he was in Granada.
His condition isn't any better.
It only got worse.
Now he's addicted to drugs and the game. No one can stop him.
Even his own company has already given up on him.
No one thinks that he'll make a comeback.
Jin-woo's hallucinations
have nothing to do with our contact lens,
but he keeps saying otherwise.
He says that the problem lies with the lens and the game.
A CEO of a company said such things!
Then, out of the blue, he took off to find Se-ju.
His ass is about to be fired,
but he left to play a game.
Do you really believe what he says?
I'm only asking because it's killing me too.
If what he says is true,
our company might go under.
If what he says is true,
that means this game which your brother created
and we've invested billions on for the past year
is a disaster.
So I want to believe he's wrong.
If what he says is true,
our company will go bankrupt.
If what he says is true,
that means
Jin-woo went on a suicide quest.
What do you mean?
I choose not to believe it.
If I do, the company will fall
and my life will crumble down.
I'd rather think that my friend has lost his mind completely.
You probably want to believe him because of your brother,
but don't.
You should find your brother some other way.
The company will fully assist you from now on.
I promise we'll do our best,
so just don't believe Jin-woo anymore.
There's nothing he can do for you.
What was that earlier?
You said he went to die.
I wasn't told that it was dangerous. It's only a game.
I tried so hard to stay hopeful and positive.
I couldn't turn my back on him.
That jerk...
Well, he was a great man.
Smart,
humorous,
and passionate.
Those qualities built this company.
It's gone to dust now.
I thought he'd recover, but he didn't.
That's probably why Jeong-hun has been lying too.
He's been by Jin-woo's side for so long
that he feels bad for Jin-woo.
It's why he can't let go.
Are you kidding me?
