52 DAYS UNTIL ASTEROID COLLISION JANUARY 1, 2026
Hold it! Stop, stop, stop!
-Huh? -Why is everybody rushing?
You're supposed to follow my hands.
-But your hands move too quickly. -I don't wanna hear it!
I was trying to sing.
What?
I heard this ragtag bunch was at it again, so I brought some snacks.
This ragtag bunch can…
We could hear from outside. It sounded great.
-She said we sounded good. -My wife and I have been so lonely.
The kids are gone, and there's not much to do, so here we are.
Turns out it's pretty nice.
I've always heard that singing is good for the lungs as well as the brain.
So keep coming, both you and your wife.
It'll give you both the chance to sing your hearts out.
-Mmm. -Yeah, of course!
-Honey, that's enough. -Whoa, not bad!
Ah, don't say that! Don't encourage delusions.
Carry on. Sorry for interrupting.
-Singing makes all your worries disappear! -Yeah.
Give me a little more confidence in the song.
-Right. -Please, louder, okay?
-Okay. -Jang-beom, Dae-han!
-I don't wanna see you two mouthing along. -I wasn't mouthing!
-Put in some effort! -I was mouthing, but I gave it my all.
Three, four…
Starting from the top again?
-Okay, okay. -Okay.
Two, three…
I didn't stay there for long.
Three days with my family was already too much. I had to leave.
So are you back for good, then?
For now, I suppose.
It was fun wandering around a bit though.
Let's go play soccer again soon.
Sounds good.
Just a minute.
Hmm?
Did you tell them I'm coming?
-Well, no-- -Ah, wait!
Take my scarf off. It's too much.
Father.
Huh, what is it?
-What is he doing here? -Goodness, he's here.
-Hello, Father. -Hi.
Oh, Father.
Okay, that's enough.
-Are you-- Will you be okay? -Yes, I'm fine.
He told me he wanted to see the church, so I brought him along.
I didn't know that everyone would be here.
What's going on?
It's all right.
Thank you all
for greeting me with such
reverence.
Once again, I give thanks to the Lord
for all his grace, his love, and for his divine will.
Christmas Day is upon us all.
-So let us… -So he's totally lost it, then.
Christmas was days ago now.
…which has led us to doubt…
Hold on a minute.
…a plan which we cannot even begin to fathom.
Let us repent.
Repent for our many mistakes,
for we are here on Earth while the Lord is high… above us.
Wait. Where have the altar boys run off to?
And why are there no liturgical objects here?
Who is doing the Bible reading today?
-Uh, looks like it went out again. -Don't worry about it.
Oh, Yun-sang, why don't you, uh, take Father Baek home?
We can't have you catching a cold, Father.
Yeah, take the Father home.
The ceilings are so high up that, even with the heat on,
this place is chilly, so go on.
Anyone who gets sick this winter will be vulnerable.
There's no medicine. It's dangerous.
Yeah. Who knows what'll happen.
Look at his condition.
Eh? Go on.
Tell me about it. My wife beat COVID, but now a simple cold might kill her!
-That's enough. -Ah!
Why is it so noisy outside?
I heard the prisons have failed.
So are the rioters here now?
Hurry! One of you, check outside.
-Huh? -Let's go, please.
Goodness. How is it so loud outside?
Are you all right, Father?
I heard that the prisons have been destroyed,
and now rioters are banging on the door.
Oh, Father.
-Call Mr. Cho. Tell them. -Yes, okay.
Tell him we need extra security around here.
-Did you hear me? -Uh, okay, Father.
Where on earth is Mr. Cho right now?
Call him at once and tell him he needs to maintain security in Woongcheon.
-All right? It's madness here! Ridiculous! -Okay, Father.

Dear citizens of Woongcheon,
there are only 20 days left until the asteroid collision.
Though we cannot confirm,
and we fervently hope it is not the case,
there are rumors that the trafficking of children and adolescents
has started up again.
It may be best to avoid going outside at night from now on.
The asteroid is coming,
and we have but 20 days left.
In these final moments,
may you find some happiness and comfort.
Thank you.
Good job.
I think that was one of your best.
So, that's it. Our last broadcast.
I guess it is.
Bye forever, then.
Oh?
I've had enough of this for a lifetime.

Don't you think you should take a break?
Hey, private information.
I won't peek. I promise.
Huh?
Mmm.
Hey.
-Are you gonna be here all the time now? -Uh-huh.
We have a lot to get done together.
Like this? Your bucket list?

You're gonna be busy, Yun-sang.
So I'd appreciate your cooperation.
Where do we start?
Let's see…
Thanks for letting me stay here.
I wasn't sure about what to do.
Don't worry. No one will look for you here.
You're safe and sound with the neighborhood nutcase.
So, uh…
is there…
-Yeah? -Uh…
Do you have any… any meat here?
Meat?
Jin-seo can't eat meat anymore.
Why?
Well, 'cause you quit.
You had to 'cause you ate all the meat.
I'll make sure we have some next time.
Careful, it's hot.
Is it okay?
I haven't had it yet.
Is it good?
-It's good. -Not bad, right?
TAKE WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE
Oh God.
I just can't do it.
We can't even die in peace.
Hey. What are you doing out here?
Hey!
We agreed we would starve ourselves and die a peaceful death!
-Huh? -Yeah, but it's harder than I thought.
Spicy noodles.
What was that?
I'd kill for some spicy noodles right now.
Oh!
At least we let the birds go. Are they safe, you think?
Like this, okay?
Yeah. It's sticky.
How can I send them away? Off to some stranger.
I know.
-Can we make a snowman? -But still…
I wanna make a really big snowman.
Woongcheon is getting more dangerous by the hour.
You know they'd be safer somewhere else.
Yeah.
We don't know if anywhere is safe.
If there is such a place, I haven't seen it.
Make it bigger!
I'm so worried.
What if someone exploits them? Or if they're sexually assaulted?
What if I send them away to a living hell?
And, honestly, I don't think they'd ever agree to go.
I think it's done. I'm gonna look for a stick.
Hae-chan, Woo-chan, aren't you cold?
-Uh-uh! -No!
You have to play together, okay? No going off alone.
It's okay. I won't let them bully you.
Hey, cut it out! Don't bother the other girls like that.
This site is for authorized personnel only, okay?
Get out of here, Mister!
Oh my God! Seriously.
Huh?
You too, Se-kyung? Are you kidding?
Okay.
Everyone in this damn town is crazy for these chickens. Jeez.
Are you still cold?
Somehow, my brain's tricking me that it's warm.
-Wishful thinking. -Better than nothing.
-There's no fuel. -There you are.
You scared me. I was just in the area.
Does this work?
No luck. The military ran out of gas a long time ago.
I'll warm you up.
So what did the candidates say?
Mmm.
Well,
none of them are exactly thrilled.
Ah, we're talking about the kids.
We're still trying to get them out of the country.
Se-kyung, listen.
The higher-ups are changing some of the criteria.
They're getting stricter.
Actually, I was hoping Captain Kang could help us publicize it.
You know, warm people up to the idea.
Folks listen to you a whole lot better than they listen to me.
Does anyone in our area qualify?
Just Woo-chan and Hae-chan in our neighborhood.
Woo-chan and Hae-chan.
I say
send the kids.
I know we'll be worried for them, but that shouldn't stop us.
They could actually be sent to a really nice place.
We can't just let them stay here waiting to die.
Oh, Young-ji. I told you, you don't have to keep working here.
14 DAYS UNTIL ASTEROID COLLISION
Hey, Sister,
if you had just one day left to live instead of two weeks, what would you do?
I'd do exactly the same.
No, seriously. What would you really do?
Well, I've only ever known two things.
To pray and to serve others.
Oh, stop it. That's just church stuff.
Listen. Dying tomorrow wouldn't really change anything at all.
Since it won't matter either way, I'll just carry on.
What's the matter, Sister? You don't wanna volunteer?
You're acting a little strange today.
Well, it's really cold outside, just like my poor heart.
Oh, hello.
Where'd you come from?
Oh!
I know you're hungry, but you can't eat that.
Lucky for you, you don't look too tasty.
They say dogs are a good judge of character.
In this case, I'd have to agree.
If I die early for some reason,
go ahead and let him eat me.
Ew, well, that's pretty generous of you.
It'd be more generous to die right now so that this cute baby gets his snack.
Keep talkin', and we'll have hungry wolves barging in here.
You do know that there's an asteroid flying towards us, right?
That's a terrible excuse to tell bad jokes.
Wow!
Let's go.
Wanna play?
Why are you out there alone?
Se-kyung slept in today.
Are you looking for a team, then?
You guys wanna play?
Attention!
All right, get in there.
There's nobody left to feed anyway!
-Here we come! -Yeah!
Let's go!
I thought I'd never play soccer again! I'll be the goalie. Let's go!
I'm sorry.
It might be silly to leave at this point.
It's not silly.
Captain--
You'll have to handle everything here after I leave.
I doubt they'll send a replacement.
I hope nothing happens, but just in case, keep an eye on the troublemakers.
No accidents.
There's some live ammo in there.
SNACK STORAGE
There's enough to arm all the soldiers.
Thank Mess Sergeant So.
Uh, the ammunition incident--
It's a long story to tell.
But don't worry. That ammo's all clean.
I'm sorry again.
I know it's a lot to take care of.
You are the commander here now.
I know you'll do well.
I wish you luck, Captain.
All right, come on.
Goodbye, friend.
In-a.
You look a little different today.
Is Se-kyung here?
Chapter four.
In-a, what are you-- Uh…
You should've been the one to become a soldier.
You're always trying to run into battle.
I couldn't do the uniforms.
I, um…
I finally told my mom how I really felt.
I had an epiphany.
Wow, you have so much energy. It's all the running you do.
Hey, listen! I'm actually being serious here.
I realized
I've lived my entire life for others.
Hey, what's with the retrospection all of a sudden?
I wanted so badly to be recognized…
…to the point where I… I felt responsible for everyone.
In-a, you're scaring me. What are you trying to say?
That you were right.
I was so worried whenever you were in trouble
and treated you like a child.
It doesn't mean you're sorry, though, does it?
Are you kidding?
I just…
You have the gun, right?
Yeah.
You have to protect her, Yun-sang.
As of this February 8th afternoon,
I hereby report that I've been formally discharged
and that I'll be leaving.
In-a.
I want you to know…
that I'm so very proud of you.
10 DAYS UNTIL ASTEROID COLLISION
You know what I want.
Yeah, I do, you crazy bastard. You want out.
You know some kids, right?
This is the last chance to leave.
I'll let you board for three kids.
Okay.
Got it covered?
J… just three of them, and we're good?
Attaboy.
Damn, look at this junkie. Your eyes look terrible!
Yeah, get me three.
-All right, let's head back. -Yes, sir.
Good work. Yeah, good job.
It… it looks like those bastards are… are putting kids in containers
and… and… and sending them off somewhere abroad.
Since this is their last shipment,
they're just focusing on making the number,
so they might be a little less careful.
This is the last ship that'll leave
before the asteroid hits.
-What should we pack, Woo-chan? -Um, this and this.
Let's see here.
-That! -The penguin?
-Is the penguin coming too? -Yeah!
And my doll.
Okay, let's just pack it all.
Where are your other toys?
Here!
Oh, that's great. Hae-chan, do you need any help?
Unni, I don't want to go.
I'm scared.
You don't have to be afraid.
You'll have yummy snacks to eat. It won't be cold either.
And I know you two… You and Woo-chan will make new friends.
Hae-chan.
You and your brother will be safe there.
You'll both live a happy life.
But why only us?
Unni should go. And what about you?
How about I…
Uh, Auntie will visit both of you, okay, Hae-chan?
Don't lie to me.
Hae-chan, come here. Give Auntie a hug.
You too, Woo-chan. Give us a hug!
Give me a hug! That's it.
You too. Get in here, So-min.
That's my girl.
Perhaps the world is ending.
Yet, as long as I have my darling wife, my soul will always--
There are still some boxes left.
So what's for dinner?
-I dunno. -You're cute.
HI, THIS IS SUPERMAN AND WONDERMART THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO CLOSE SHOP
-Oh, I'll take that. -Ah…
Oh, it's not too heavy, but thank you.
Are you doing okay?
Mm-hmm.
Um… are you just about to start work here?
Ah, not today. I'm just taking the seniors for a drive.
Ah!
Would you like to come too?
Yeah, sure.
Oh goodness.
I guess our soccer team is finally over, now that you're both leaving.
Come on. They're not leaving forever.
Don't worry. When the time comes, everyone'll be back, right?
I'll be back again.
You can count on it.
Oh, but Sister Ji-eun,
are you sure you and your baby will be okay?
Yeah.
You know,
there's a good chance we won't be back again.
Where are you headed? If it's someplace nice, take me with you.
What are you talking about?
Sister Myeong-ok, there's no place left in the world that's nice anymore.
Until we see heaven, this church is the best place for us to be.
It is indeed.
What's all this?
Oh, Father, hi.
I was cleaning the supermarket and brought some stuff over.
Sister Mi-ryeong, you're leaving again?
Sung-jae.
Oh my.
♪ Where I come from… ♪
Noona!
♪ Wherever I go… ♪
Mi-ryeong!
-♪ It's not worth my… ♪ -I'm right here, you know!
♪ Focus… ♪
Kim Dae-han, if you keep acting so petty,
God's gonna send you to hell with the asteroid.
Don't worry. With a face like that, you'll fit right in!
I'm going to heaven!
And I'm leaving that one behind.
I'm leaving for Ms. Kim's.
Oh. Do you need a ride?
Mm-mm.
We're just gonna talk for a bit.
Did In-a… say if she'll be back?
Why is your door open?
I need the ventilation. I'm cleaning.
-Feel free to sit. -Is Se-kyung going somewhere?
Yeah, she's visiting Ms. Kim.
Ah. So it's a work trip.
That's too bad.
I came over to give you newlyweds the holy gift of prayer.
Oh? You brought out the homemade wine.
Is that what we're drinking tonight?
Hey, you know, hyung, a while back…
Hmm?
…you said
I fell for Se-kyung 'cause of my outward perceptions,
that there was more to her I didn't know.
I said that?
I think that was true at the time,
and everything I loved about her then is still true.
But it's a little different now.
It's not that I feel like… like, I need to be by her side
or that I need to protect her.
Just knowing…
that she and I will be together until the very end…
It feels so special.
We'll all be dead in ten days.
Are you saying that we're, uh…
we're all special to each other, then?
You wanna be special? Help me clean, you idiot.
All right, okay.
I'll take special care helping you clean.
Do you have a lot left to clean?
Can't you tell by looking?
-I'll just follow you. -Okay, just hurry up!
Okay.
What was I…
Oh, Ms. Jin,
I… I don't wanna get married.
Then you don't have to.
But, Ms. Jin, didn't you… You got married, didn't you?
You're right. I did.
But I can't say it's the greatest.
Well, if you did, why are you telling me not to?
Funny, isn't it?
The kids should've had more fun.
Why did I tell them not to do so many things?
Oh. Ms. Jin, are you crying?
Don't cry, my dear.
I understand. I know how you feel.
You don't.
How could you? Nobody knows. Nobody.
Even I don't know.
I don't know anything.
I ask myself, if I'd killed your son,
would things have turned out differently?
If I'd been killed on the day all my students died, I…
If, from the very beginning, I'd just followed Yun-sang abroad.
I… I keep thinking about all the choices we've made.
I think of you too.
If this world is the result of all of our decisions…
I can't help but imagine…
a world where we'd all chosen differently.
I know none of this matters anymore. It's useless.
I don't want that.
No, I don't want that.
Th… these are the only things I have left.
The only things that actually work.
Do… do you know how to… handle 'em?
Th… those guys… are… are really dangerous.
They have nothing left to lose.
I know.
I don't either.
The end is so near, so wh… why even…
Ms. Jin, it's you.
Why are you so surprised?
Where's Ha-yul?
Ha-yul?
Ms. Jin.
Did you see, um, any creepy-looking guys waiting outside on your way over here?
Have you seen any men out there like that?
It's been insane lately.
We're so afraid these days that we can't even go outside--
Hey, Ms. Jin.
You didn't see Sergeant Kim, did you?
Nope, I didn't.
SERGEANT KIM
If you leave now, you can all survive.
I'll be nice to you. I'll even give you a gun.
All you have to do is bring your other two friends.
Please don't do anything dangerous.
I don't want you to die.
Why would I die, huh?
I'm not gonna die, okay?
And even if I do, it won't be for a long,
long while, okay?
Don't worry.
I have to see you all grow into adults.
Then…
I don't ever wanna grow up.
I didn't know.
Everything kept passing me by,
and I didn't even realize it.
But now it's time to go.
Take me over the mountain to where my grave is waiting for me.
Ah, one more thing.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, world.
Goodbye, my neighborhood.
Goodbye now,
you mothers and fathers.
Goodbye, spontaneous musical clock.
And the garden we all tended to, farewell.
To the delicious food and coffee.
To the freshly ironed clothes and the bathhouse's steaming water.
To going to sleep.
To waking up.
To this Earth and all of its beautiful, magnificent things
that no one knew the true value of.
Goodbye, Earth.
