FINALE
Thank you.
Jin-woo?
Professor?
Professor!
Is everything okay, sir?
Please call an ambulance.
Is he dead?
Just call an ambulance, please.
Yes, sir.
Are you the manager of this hotel?
What is your name?
Sir, Mr. Oh wants to talk to you.
Tell him I'll call him back.
He said it's urgent.
Hello?
Sir, is it true that Professor Cha passed away?
I just heard the news.
How could this happen?
What's so urgent?
It's...
The thing is, there's something I didn't report to you.
I should've told you.
Professor Cha said he'd tell you himself.
There's something else I don't know?
Professor Cha called me last night
and asked me to restart the server.
He said he needed to test the game at the hotel.
What do you mean?
Sir, the police have a few questions for you.
I'll speak with them later.
-Are you going somewhere? -Sort things out here.
Sir?
Professor Cha asked me to put the server back up for just ten minutes.
I did as I was told,
but later,
I got a call from Mr. Yoo.
PROFESSOR CHA
Yes, Professor. I called to check in.
Did the test go well?
It's me.
Mr. Yoo? I didn't know you were with Professor Cha.
Yes, I shut the server down again.
No, he told me not to tell Mr. Park.
Pardon me?
Put it back up again?
There's something I haven't finished yet.
Jin-woo asked you to do that?
Yes, that's why I restarted the server and shut it down again.
When was that?
For an hour from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.
What is going on, sir?
How did Professor Cha pass away?
Someone must have completed the quest.
I was waiting for someone to complete the quest.
Who did it?
You...
don't know?
You don't know where he is?
I don't know...
who it is.
Wash up and come downstairs. I'll go set the table.
Who is it?
Who completed the quest?
Tell me who it is.
Yoo Jin-woo.
Yoo Jin-woo?
Yes, Yoo Jin-woo.
Yoo Jin-woo completed the quest?
He played my game?
I've never even met him.
You told him to come to Granada.
I heard you called him.
He came to our place after that and--
He came to our place after receiving my phone call?
Yes, he did.
What happened?
If you took in and charged a guest,
you should make the stay worthwhile.
A few packets of ramyun?
You wear fake designer shoes and a fake luxury watch
and worry if your fake brand suitcase gets scratched.
You come here for a single room and ask for the best service.
That 100-trillion-won project didn't impress me at all.
It made you look pathetic.
I just checked. I received the money.
I see. Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
When you first made your offer, I thought you were joking.
Where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Stay.
I'm scared to be alone.
GUITAR WORKSHOP
Long time no see.
How...
How could you do this to me?
I trusted you.
I was heartbroken by the way you left.
I thought about it for the past year.
I told you...
not to trust me too much.
And that I'm not as decent as you think.
I told you that you might regret it later.
If I must enjoy my birthday with a boyfriend,
I can be your girlfriend.
What's so hard about it? To be honest, I can do better.
Don't you think so?
Why won't you listen to me? I told you not to log in.
Don't worry. It's coming to an end.
It's almost over now.
Tomorrow dawn at the earliest.
I'll come over in the morning.
Do you want to know what happened...
while you were gone?
Hee-ju, why are you crying?
Don't mind me.
Mr. Yoo said...
he has unfinished business.
But I'm not sure what he meant by that.

Hello?
It's me.
I'm still waiting for you. What's going on?
Something came up.
Really? Did you hear anything--
No, still no word from Jin-woo.
I came here thinking he might have been here at dawn,
but he's not here now.
Where are you now?
At the church.
The church?
Hello?
Hello? Are you there?
Hello, Emma.
Hello.
You look exhausted.
It's all over now.
Why did you take the Key to Heaven?
You gave it to me.
I was afraid.
I didn't...
I didn't want to die.
Let me hold onto it now.

Hello?
Hello? Are you listening?
Mr. Park, what's wrong?
Will you please answer me?
JUNG HEE-JU
Mr. Park?
What happened?
What were you about to say earlier?
-What did you find? -Don't come over here.
Let's talk outside.
What's that?
What...
is that?
RESETTING GAME
What's going on?
What's the matter?
What's happening?
Everything's beginning to reset.
All the map files are being deleted.
-The server is being deleted. -Everything is rebooting.
Is this a backdoor attack or what?
Jin-woo.
It's me.
I'm sending you this email
with the slightest hope that you might read it.
REST IN PEACE
Today was the last day of Professor Cha's funeral.
The police wrapped up their investigation
since they couldn't find any proof of murder.
Do you think this is for the better?
All the records got reset,
so there's no evidence to prove that the game
had anything to do with people's deaths.
You guys should check the firewall and make sure...
-No one knows why the game got reset. -Raise your hand if you agree.
And of course,
-I couldn't tell anyone. -What time is it?
One year's worth of our hard work went down the drain.
Instead, we no longer have to deal
with the unsolvable problem.
I've been contemplating...
whether I should start all over again
or stop here.
If you were in my shoes,
what would you do?
I don't even know whom I can talk to...
about this.
Jin-woo.
It's me.
Se-ju?
Are you Se-ju?
Today, I finally got to meet Se-ju, the kid you tried so hard to find.
What are you doing in there?
It's nice to meet you.
I'm from J One.
Please close the door.
I thought it was all over.
But it's starting again.
What's starting?
The thunder and lightning.
It's...
It's happening again.
It's actually raining outside.
It's real rain. The thunder and lightning are also real.
It's not a game.
The bug no longer exists.
It's all gone now.
It seems as though...
Se-ju will need psychotherapy for a while.
Did you meet him?
He's not in a very good condition.
I can see that. I'll come back next time.
-Thank you. -No problem.
Do you know Yoo Jin-woo?
You said you're from J One.
Yes, I know him.
I know him very well.
Do you know anything--
He is...
probably dead.
Hey, what are you saying?
He probably got deleted...
after he got stabbed by Emma's knife.
I really didn't know that everyone would be dead.
If I had known about this, I wouldn't have called Mr. Yoo.
I wouldn't have sent him the quest
or asked him for help.
I wasn't even aware of Hee-ju's relationship with Mr. Yoo.
That's why I told her everything.
Are you saying you told your sister about all this?
You told her that Emma killed Jin-woo?
Where's your sister?
And as for Ms. Jung...
That is why there's a legend about the Gate of Justice.
On the day the Key to Heaven meets the Hand of Fatima,
the gate will open and the palace will crumble.
Hold on.
Did you just mention a key?
The Key to Heaven.
Was that helpful?
Was it helpful?
I didn't think it could be of help.
I just need to do my part now.
If he were also a bug, he would've died...
by Emma's hand.
-What? -Emma...
would've killed him with the Key to Heaven.
What do you mean?
She would've killed him?
That's how I programmed the game.
Every time she sees a bug,
I made her stab it in the heart and kill it.
What have I done?
It's not true, right?
That didn't happen, right?
That's just absurd.
Where are you?
Where are you? Answer me. Where are you?
You said you'd come in the morning.
Where are you?
Hee-ju!
Hee-ju, wake up.
Hee-ju.
My goodness gracious!
What's wrong with her?
-Hee-ju. -Goodness, Hee-ju!
Hee-ju!
Jin-woo.
It's me.
What have you been up to?
I miss you.
YOUR EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT

1 YEAR LATER
Here she comes.
-There she is. -She's here.
Ms. Go,
how does it feel to get married?
How do you feel?
I'm ecstatic
and nervous.
That's right. Actress Go Yu-ra held a private wedding
at a hotel in Seoul.
Let's meet the beautiful bride right away.
Please tell us about the groom.
Who is he?
-What is he like? -How did you two meet?
It was a time of distress and all I felt was pain.
He came to me and gave me the strength to move on.
I'm utterly grateful for that.
I just want to be happy now.
Please support us as we try our best to do so.
Yu-ra even showed tears
during her interview.
She went through quite a lot this past year.
That's right.
Last year, she was sued for the false statement
she gave to the police regarding her ex-husband.
After a lengthy trial,
she was found guilty.
The result led to her retirement from show business.
Last September,
she was also arrested for driving under the influence.
However, starting with her wedding today,
she'll begin a new chapter in her life.
What do we know about the groom?
Not much is known,
except for the fact that he's a
Korean-American businessman in his early 60s.
I see.
It seems like she only marries rich men.
Anyway, we wish her nothing but happiness.
So what news do we have next?
GO YU-RA'S SECOND MARRIAGE
I AM UTTERLY SPEECHLESS
I KNEW SHE'D MARRY FOR MONEY
How do people already know he has two kids?
They even know his age!
How am I supposed to stop them from publishing the article?
I told you to stop them.
They're already criticizing me, saying I'm marrying him 'cause he's rich.
Why are you marrying him, then?
Why throw a fit when it's the truth?
Damn.
Damn you.
Shit!
Unbelievable.
Lastly,
we deeply thank Director Lee Su-jin,
the daughter-in-law of Professor Cha Byeong-jun
who devoted his life to the innovation and education of society,
for carrying on his visions. We shall now hear a few words from her.
CHA BYEONG-JUN SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION LAUNCH CEREMONY
It's already been a year since my father-in-law
suddenly passed away.
Today,
I am truly grateful that Hanguk University has given me an opportunity
to donate my father-in-law's inheritance
to the place he spent his whole life studying.
I remember that my father-in-law
always put an emphasis on principles and the truth.
Moreover,
he truly...
valued his honor.
If he were alive, I am certain
that he'd be proud of this foundation.
All his life,
he made it a mission to protect his honor,
and we should do our best to carry on his legacy.
Are you donating all of his inheritance?
Yes, all of it.
My gosh.
What about your son, though?
I don't want to leave him
even a single penny of Father's inheritance.
By the way, how is he doing?
Who?
Do you mean Jin-woo?
Yes.
I have no idea.
I'm sure that he has at least been in contact with you.
I still check my phone every morning
to see if he has written back.
Have you really not heard from him?
They say he fled overseas.
I'm hoping that's exactly what he's been doing.
-That's better than the alternative. -What's the alternative?
I'm worried he might've been erased from this world.
Just like that.
What's going on?

NEXT: J ONE'S NEW AR GAME
Just 15 days after the release of J One's new AR video game Next,
the streets of Seoul have transformed completely.
I am here at Yeouido Park.
Can you see all the people behind me?
It looks like they're just simply dancing,
but they're actually playing an AR video game
with a smart lens that allows you to access it.
-Move. -Get in line.
Go to the back.
Hey! No cutting in line.
Go to the back!
Damn it.
Nice!
-No cutting in line. -Look!
No way.
The game has been highly anticipated since its development stages.
On December 1,
the game server finally opened in Seoul and Granada,
taking the world by storm.
HEALTH +100
Nice!
Over 10,000 users logged on the first day,
and smart lens sales went flying through the roof.
The total value of J One's shares skyrocketed,
up 250 percent in the last ten days.
J One's stock price has hit the ceiling ever since.
-I got one. -See this?
HEALTH RESTORED +500
Let's go.
GET YOUR HEALTH POTION!
The partner companies that produce game items
have also had a surge in sales as well.
What do you think you're doing? I got here first.
HEALTH RESTORED +500
Seriously?
You're out of health potions!
Don't you have more?
Yes. Coming.
The game's growing popularity
seems to be causing some problems.
THE CRAZE FOR NEXT CAUSES SOCIAL ISSUES
For the past 15 days,
there were numerous incidents involving the players of Next.
We are discussing detailed rules and regulations.
The government is well aware of the fact that serious measures
must be made regarding this new social phenomenon.
We are also planning to collaborate with experts
in the field of AR and social systems.
Some people have made a petition
to limit the game time and service areas,
and now the government is in a hurry to install necessary measures.
In order to minimize chaos while people adapt,
streets of more than four-lane roads,
areas near schools, and buildings over ten stories
will no longer be included in the game zone.
We also are looking to limit the game time as well.
We have agreed with the government to only allow users to play the game
during lunch hours from noon to 2 p.m. and after 6 p.m.
We hope this will prevent any future problems
in our users' daily lives.
Just how much more impact the craze for J One's AR game
will have on the public remains to be seen.
Hee-ju.
Aren't you eating lunch?
The table's already set.
You said you're meeting someone. You should eat before you go.
Oh, I forgot.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Jung.
How have you been?
It's been a while.
Hello.
You must be busy.
The game's success is all over the news.
I'm actually not that busy.
I'm retiring next month.
How so? Aren't things hectic right now?
It's a miracle I made it this far.
I just wanted to take responsibility.
I'm going to rest now.
It's too early for you to retire, though.
Well, I'm lonely.
It got so lonely that I couldn't do it anymore.
I'm glad you seem better, though.
-Do you even go on dates now? -Dates?
Come on, you should go on dates.
You're young.
Will you spend all your time making guitars?
Should I set you up with someone?
No, thanks.
I know a few decent guys.
I'll send you a list. Take your pick.
Ms. Jung.
Give up...
on Jin-woo now.
Let's give up.
I'm going to let him go now.
Is your brother doing okay?
Yes.
He's gotten better.
He even goes outside now.
Actually, I called you to talk about Se-ju.
Se-ju?
A company?
J One wants to set up a company for Se-ju.
What do you mean they will set up a company for him?
Will Se-ju be the CEO?
Yes. They'll set up a subsidiary company
where he can research all he wants.
Why?
Why would they set up a company for him?
Because Se-ju is a genius.
No way.
What do you want to do?
You created it. They are saying that they need your help.
Thank you.
Let's go, Se-ju.
I'd like your attention, please.
Say hello. The developer of our game, Next,
has finally come.
This is Mr. Jung Se-ju.
Say hi.
Gosh. No way!
Did you really develop this game?
I'm a huge fan!
Everyone was dying to meet him.
They are all big fans of his.
Come in, please.
Come in.
Come inside.
Let's shake hands first.
Gosh, we only talked on the phone. We've never met in person.
My name is Choi Yang-ju. Nice to meet you. Sit down.
There were so many things I wanted to ask you.
We should take a photo first.
I want a photo and an autograph. I need an autograph.
Talk with him. I'll wait for you downstairs.
See you later.
Bye.
First things first. An autograph, please.
Make it to Choi Yang-ju.
No, you should write your name, not mine.
Jung Se-ju. Write something like, "Let's be friends."
Hello. What can I get for you?
An Americano, please.
Sure.
That makes no sense.
It really happened.
Stop lying. No user can shoot guns.
I'm serious. He really did.
The current highest level is 25.
You can only buy a gun when you reach level 50.
The game came out a few days ago. No one could have reached that level.
Gosh, I saw him.
He's freakishly good.
I'm sure he was an NPC.
No, he was a user.
Hey, besides, why would an NPC help me?
Jung-ho saw it too. I wasn't the only one.
Stop lying.
What?
-Pardon? -What did you just say?
I felt the most hopeless
when the game reset.
Gosh, everything disappeared right in front of my eyes.
I was going to give up and quit my job.
Who would have thought Emma would have a function like that?
Had I known, I would have deleted it. I cared too much about her
for no reason.
I was betrayed.
About that...
There could be an instance dungeon.
What?
Instance dungeon.
What about that?
I programmed the game so that only the master can create it
in times of danger.
I was hiding in the instance dungeon
at the train station.
At first, I made the feature to deceive enemies.
But it really worked at that time.
No one could see me.
It was like we were in the same place, but in a different dimension.
An instance dungeon in real life.
I don't get it. What do you mean?
You can't believe me, right?
I still can't believe it, either.
I've thought about this countless times.
But it really existed at that time.
I can't check since everything got reset.
If Mr. Yoo Jin-woo was the Master...
The reward of the quest was becoming the Master.
That means he could have been the Master.
You never know.
Just like me...
he could be alive somewhere.
He was holding a gun.
I thought he was an NPC who was my enemy, but he helped me.
That means he's a user.
But he didn't have a user ID,
so I'm not sure what he is.
Where did you see him?
Please call me after you talk to your brother.
By the way, Mr. Park,
I won't give up.
I'm still waiting for him.
Give up.
Jin-woo is dead.
No.
He's been deleted.
He won't come back now.
He will.
Whenever that may be,
he will return.
I believe that he will.
THIS IS YOUR 1ST LOGIN
I don't care if the whole world doesn't believe it,
but I do.
I believe that we will meet again.
Thank you.
That's better.
Don't trust me too much.
I'm not as decent as you think.
What's our relationship?
I can be your girlfriend.
Will I be able to do this...
alone?
Would you say...
you still believe me?
I believe you.
I told you that I do.
Why did you come here today?
I missed you.
Do you have any available rooms?
