"Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things."
THE BIBLE
Don't be foolish.
I am giving you
a chance to reign over time.
I don't care about that.
I will put everything back in place.
I'll save everyone who died because of you first.
Then I will kill you.
You started it,
but I will end it.
Eat before you go.
Did you make seaweed soup for her?
-No. -But I taught you how to make it.
What did you buy her?
-Nothing. -Why not?
I never bought one before.
I feel so bad for your mom.
Wait for me at the front gate after school today.
I'll help you pick out something. I'll buy the cake.
Right. The super blood moon will be visible today.
You should hold a party for her then.
What?
Are you surprised to see such a beautiful woman at eight in the morning?
Yes. This is something very hard to do.
I don't get a puffy face, and I look perfect.
Hey, wait for me.
1 MISSED CALL
Yes, Doctor.
I shouldn't have come to find you.
Please forget about everything
you heard from me, as well as our research.
Why all of a sudden?
It's all my fault.
I have to be responsible.
I thought time travel
would make many people happy.
That they'd be able to mend any heartbreak
and turn things back for what they regretted.
But I was wrong.
Wounds and pain
as well as despair and sorrow from the past
were all necessary.
I invented time travel to erase the painful past,
but it only led to obsession and desires.
It's not your fault.
You were trying to heal those in pain.
I don't think it's a crime when your intentions were good.
On top of that, you realized what you did wrong
and are now trying to right the wrong.
I'll help you until the end.
No.
I'm thankful you said that,
but it's something I must resolve.
Mom.

Mr. Ko.
"Mr. Ko"?
Who are you?
Where did you come from?
You were the only one
I could think of.
Please help me.
Are you from the future?
Why?
Who sent you?
No one sent me.
Did you come because of your mom?
Then you came to the wrong person.
I won't ever kill your mom. I will never.
I know that.
You don't kill my mom.
Then why did you come here?
Mom will…
get murdered in the end.
Not just her.
Many people will die.
Mr. Ko.
You know where the Master is, don't you?
Please tell me. I'll catch him myself.
I don't.
I don't know who the Master is
or where he is.
Mr. Ko.
WIFE
Hello?
Honey.
Yes.
Okay, but I'm busy right now.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I think
I came to the wrong person.
I won't make it hard for you anymore.
You should just take your mom and leave.
I can help you with that.
Mom must not find out.
She doesn't want
the order of this world to change
because of me.
This isn't your first time, is it?
And if I try to avoid it,
those who died will
not be able to return.
Am I…
one of those people?
No.
Don't worry.
You and your wife will be safe.
Could I
hug you
just once?
I missed you.
Were we…
Were we close there?
When Mom passed away,
it was so hard that I wanted to die.
I was able to live through it
because you were there for me.
What are you going to do now?
I should protect Mom
beside her.
I'll also bring all the people I love…
back to life.
I hear Jin-gyeom is really smart.
My gosh. You must be too proud to eat.
That's not true.
But oddly enough, I'm gaining weight these days.
Are you celebrating something today?
Why are you buying so much meat?
I was just in the mood for some meat.
-Bye. -Bye.
Thank you.
Make sure you tell your mother
that you have a really pretty friend named Do-yeon and she bought it.
And you were framed because of me. Please tell her I'm sorry.
She'll understand even if you don't apologize. Don't worry.
You should still tell her. Tell her I'm very sorry.
Got it?
By the way,
are you really not mad at me?
I told you I was never mad at you.
Why don't you smile, then? Let me make sure you're really not mad.
You look better when you don't smile.
I'm off.
Bye.
Mom, happy birthday.
You're home.
Aren't you forgetting something? You should light the candles for me.
Do you want to come along?
Come on, my darling.
No, thanks. You should go alone.
Gosh.
All right, then. I'll be quick.
Mr. Park Jin-gyeom!
Calm down and listen to me. Your mom asked me to do this!
I came here because she asked me.
She told me to stop her son.
She said her death can't be stopped.
Seon-yeong was worried her son would get hurt because of her.
I understand how she feels,
but I must catch him.
I know!
I totally understand.
But no matter what you do here, it won't change the future.
You won't be able to save your mom or anyone else who'll die.
So,
please give up and go back.
How did you know other people
die too?
That doesn't happen until ten years later.
How could I not know?
I'm here to stop you.
Jin-gyeom.
Jin-gyeom, where are you?
Jin-gyeom. Jin-gyeom…
So you ended up coming.
I was hoping The Prophecy would be wrong.
Were you looking for me all this time
until you've become this,
my son?
"Son"?
Yes.
I was once your son.
It's my fault I trusted Ko Hyeong-seok.
Who would've thought he'd give up his wife's life to protect you?
What do you mean I gave up my wife?
Mr. Ko.
I went through a lot to come here.
Why would I give up her life?
This is a misunderstanding. I'll explain.
Go to your mom now.
I have to hear the rest of the story from him.
Thank you, Mr. Ko.
No, Mom…
I didn't know you'd turn out this way.
Are you sure you didn't know?
You're the one who opened the door of time.
Because of you,
I had to kill so many people.
It's all my fault.
I'll take the punishment.
But
don't touch Jin-gyeom.
He shouldn't
end up like you.
The one that turned your son into me
wasn't me.
It was you.
You turned your son into a monster.
I'm not you.
No, Jin-gyeom.
Mom, what are you doing? Move aside.
Jin-gyeom. You can't shoot him.
If you do,
both of you will die.
It doesn't matter.
Listen to your mom.
Don't do this
for me.
Move aside, Mom.
There was a time…
when I tried to save her just like you are doing.
Don't talk nonsense.
You're nothing but a monster who came to kill Mom.
You don't know what she's truly like.
Why do you think
she decided to stay here in 1992?
In 1992, she saw
The Prophecy.
That's when she realized
the power the baby has.
She knew the door of time
would close if the baby died.
That's why she stayed here.
The baby had to stay alive
so she could maintain the door of time which she invented.
-My mom -My mom
-isn't like that. -isn't like that.
Tonight,
you won't be able to protect her.
And you'll wander for decades to figure out
ways to save her.
Just like I did.
Stop talking nonsense.
Why do you think I became a monster?
Why will you
become a monster?
I now have another heart inside me.
It's smaller and weaker than mine,
but I can feel
my baby's heartbeat.
Only after wandering through different dimensions
will you come to realize
that there is only one way
to save her.
To go back to 1992
to stop my own birth.
Who are you?
If you don't close the door of time right now,
you'll die.
But you can stop it.
Go back.
Go back,
and close the door of time.
Who are you?
Tell me who you are first.
I'm someone who shouldn't exist.
Get rid of the baby.
If that baby is born,
you'll lose the chance to close the door of time.
That baby…
should never
be born.
For you,
and for the baby,
that baby
must die.
I don't know who you are,
but I won't let anyone touch my baby.
Move.
You'll…
die at the hands…
of that baby.
I came here to save you.
My child would never do that.
Even if that really happens,
I'm still the baby's mother.
I'll raise him well.
This is your last warning.
Move.
I can't.
That baby is a monster.
I can't let a monster live.
It's you
who should die.
That's the past I experienced
and the future you'll face.
That wasn't her fault.
Back then,
she didn't know who you were.
Do you really think
she didn't know?
Mom.
Mom…
Mom.
No.
That's impossible.
Mom.
This woman
knew we'd become monsters, but she still
gave birth to you.
She didn't love you.
She only acted like she did.
Because of her,
we lived a life we didn't want
and became monsters.
The only one who can understand my pain
is you.
I'm giving you
a chance to escape from the pain I have gone through.
I'm giving you the chance to kill her.
We must…
kill her first.
Yes.
You should kill me.
It's all my fault.
It's because of me
that you two turned this way.
Even if everything you said is true,
I don't care.
All I want to do is protect Mom.
If you and I die now,
it'll all be over.
Mom.
What is it?
Are you going to kill me again?
Then…
shoot me here.
I was racked with guilt all my life.
I was tortured every day
by guilt and fear.
I thought I should do something,
but there was nothing I could do.
Because you are my son,
and if I close the door of time,
you will disappear.
Don't make excuses.
To you,
the world you created was more important than your son.
That's why you turned us like this.
To a mother,
her child means the world to her.
Even if I'm not in that world,
all I care about is your safety.
It'll be hard to forgive me,
but it has to stop now, Jin-gyeom.
Mom.
No, Mom.
No.
Mom, no…
No, Mom.
It's not your fault, so why do you have to die?
Why, Mom?
I'm…
sorry.
I'm sorry you were…
born as my child.
I'm sorry.
I was happy to be born…
as your son.
I'll be born as your son…
again next time.
Mom.
No.
This isn't right.
She definitely tried to kill us.
Why did you die?
Why did you die instead of me?
Because she's our mom.
Remember Mom…
who sacrificed everything for us.
Take that memory…
all the way down to Hell…
and live in agony forever.
Mom, happy birthday.
You're home.
Aren't you forgetting something?
You should light the candles for me.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Mom
Happy birthday to you
My darling son. Thank you so much.
Hurry and blow them out.
Wait. Let me make a wish.
Let's do it together.
Here.
Happy birthday…
Mom.
You finished the bottle.
I should go buy another one.
You will drink it with me, right?
I will.
I'll be right back.
Mom.
I will come with you.
What's wrong?
Mom.
I forgot my purse.
Will you bring it for me, darling?
Okay.
I'm sorry I took so long, Mom.
But I
still kept the promise
that I'd protect you.
Now, you will be able to come
to my high school graduation.
When I get into college and become a police officer,
you'll be happier than anyone for me.
When I get hurt while investigating,
you'll be worried about me more than anyone.
When I get my first pay,
I'll give you some pocket money.
And on your birthday,
I will sing you a birthday song.
It won't be me,
but you'll get to do all those things.
So, Mom,
don't worry about me.
Live happily
like you are now.
That's all I want.
I brought it, Mom.
Thank you, darling.
Let's go.
Why are you up so early?
How did I get here?
How much did you drink last night?
You shouldn't drink when you're jet-lagged.
What do you mean?
You went to Germany for a seminar and came back this morning.
A seminar?
How could you not bring a gift?
You should've bought me a fridge magnet
at least.
Detective Park…
Where's my phone?

CHEMISTRY PROF. SHIN
Did you touch my phone?
No. Why?
Detective Park's number is gone.
Who?
Detective Park Jin-gyeom.
I didn't know you knew a detective.
You don't know Detective Park Jin-gyeom?
He came to our house a few times.
You brought a man to our house?
Who are you?
This is my house. Are you looking for someone?
Isn't this Park Jin-gyeom's house?
It's not.
But he lives here.
He was living here yesterday.
I've been living here for over seven years.
Detective.
How can I help you?
I came to meet Detective Park Jin-gyeom.
Who? There's no one by that name here.
What are you talking about?
He's the detective who uses this desk.
No, this is my desk.
Hello, Professor.
What are you doing here?
Detective.
You know him, right? Where is Detective Park Jin-gyeom now?
Detective Park Jin-gyeom?
Who is that?
You really don't know him?
How do you know me, then?
Your family owns Soosa Chinese Restaurant.
Didn't you see the chief at the restaurant?
Chief?
Tae-yeon, the noodles will go all soggy. Serve it.

Coming right up!
Enjoy.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
More pickled radish, please.
More pickled radish.
My goodness.
Enjoy.
When will he stop doing that?
Leave him be. It's his day off. He can do whatever he wants.
Look how happy he is.
Mr. Ko.
How are you still alive?
How about Detective Park? Where is Detective Park Jin-gyeom?
Who is Park Jin-gyeom?
You arrested a high school boy ten years ago.
You remember him, right?
I did?
I never arrested a high school kid.
Why can't you remember him?
You arrested Detective Park.
I am sorry.
What's wrong with you?
Other people might not remember him, but you have to remember him.
He's not just anyone.
It's Park Jin-gyeom.
Seo-jin.
You should've called me as soon as you came back to Korea.
Where's my gift?
Everyone's back.
If we stop time travel,
everything will be reset.
"Reset"?
All of the time travelers will vanish.
Everyone's back.
Everyone except for him.
Everyone else is back.
THANK YOU
I will be there for you.
Did something happen?
I feel like you became a different person after the trip.
I feel like I came back home
after a very long trip.
It feels like I lived a different life as a different person there…
and finally, I'm back to who I am.
But I don't feel happy.
Why not?
I think it's because of a man I met there.
A man?
Who?
There's someone.
Someone I can't meet ever again.
Thanks to you,
we are all well.
But
nobody remembers you.
Perhaps,
I might not be able to remember you like them one day.
But
I can promise you one thing.
A wave function in quantum physics is
a mathematical description of the quantum state of an isolated quantum system.
When you solve the wave function, you can find all of the information.
The Schrödinger equation, which you know well…
Excuse me.
I will
do my best
to live happily.
You gave up
your life so I can live today.
-Professor. -Yes.
Someone's asking you for counsel. What should I do?
About what?
She wants to know if the science technology in movies
is possible in real life.
This is the journalist's card.
JOURNALIST KIM DO-YEON
Where is she now?
Ms. Kim Do-yeon?
Yes?
Are you Prof. Yoon Tae-i?
Yes.
Is time travel really possible?
In dramas and movies,
they make it seem like it'll be invented in the future.
But I find it unrealistic.
I think it's possible.
But
I also think it shouldn't be invented.
When I first heard about you, I heard you were very interested in time travel.
This is quite unexpected.
I used to be.
But not now.
The more precious your past is,
the more it should remain in your memory.
Turning back time forcefully
is just human greed.
Hearing that reminds me
of an architect I interviewed a few days ago.
He said he became an architect to store the time passed.
He said while memories and feelings weaken and are forgotten over time,
fascinatingly, space saves time.
But space saves time.
The times you laughed, cried. The times when you were happy and sad.
They are all saved here.
As I said earlier, we reused all of the crossbeams, pillars,
and rafters from the old house.
It took us twice as much time,
but considering the memories this house holds, that's nothing.
My husband will be happy.
We decided to rebuild it for safety reasons,
but he felt bad because he was born and raised here.
Yes. I understand.
To some people,
space is life itself.
"Space is life."
That's a great line.
What are these drawings?
Before starting the project,
I drew the images that popped into my head.
I see.
Where do you usually get such inspiration from?
Nowhere in particular.
They just randomly come to my mind.
It's like déjà vu.
Even this drawing too?
Yes.
Excuse me.
Do you know Mr. Park Jin-gyeom?
I heard he works here.
Mr. Park?
Just a moment.
Okay.
Did Mr. Park go somewhere?
I am not sure.
I think he went to the site.
The site?
And these uprights and the handrail will be kept.
The timber is strong, so it will be fine.
It's really cool.
Detective.
It's me, Yoon Tae-i.
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
I think I mistook you for someone else.
It's all right.
Detective,
I won't be disappointed.
The fact that you can't recognize me
means you forgot everything.
It means
that you are living a normal life.
Please be happy
as you are now.
Still, you never know. So don't sell this house. Okay?
The future me will come to see you.
Okay.
I will wait
until you come.
Detective.
I'm sorry to make you
wait for so long.
THE PAST AND THE FUTURE ARE IMPORTANT TOO,
BUT WHY DON'T YOU FOCUS MORE ON SPENDING THE PRESENT MOMENT HAPPILY?
THANK YOU FOR TIME TRAVELING WITH ALICE
