Waves
A star.
A key?
Geez! You scared me.
Can I sit here?
It's Munch. I love Munch.
I'm not really good at starting a conversation like this.
I saw your work in a sketch class.
My club's holding an exhibition of lllustrated poems this spring.
I need to ask you a favor.
Do you have some time?
Sorry, l'm busy.
Smart ass!
The living organism is that of trapped in.
The ESP Couple
Help!
- Excuse me. - Excuse me...
It's on the second floor.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- Where's the wash room? - Wash room? It's on the second floor.
Thank you.
Scatter some garbage on the bench.
Huh? Garbage?
So that people won't sit there.
What if someone hangs around the contact spot?
OK. Roger that.
Pour the leftover soda pop, too.
Act like a professional!
He's coming. Get out of there.
He just put in the money bag. Everybody, watch out!
We have to find her.
Don't worry. We'll take care of it.
Our chief is an expert in this field.
Chief, you've been off kidnapping cases for a while, haven't you?
This is my first time.
Never done this before?
We usually don't take up this kind of case.
There are other experienced detectives. I don't know why they left it with us.
So who is the girl?
I have no idea. They said, just shut up and find her.
Should we get him?
Don't you see? He's just passing by.
Besides, it's covered in garbage.
How kind!
What is it?
- Some guy's cleaning it up. - I can see it myself!
We spilled soda pop all over the bench, so don't worry.
He'll just walk away.
What the hell! He's wiping the bench. What a loser!
Hi.
- Get them out of there. - OK.
My name's Hyun-jin. Hyun-jin Lee.
Uh-huh.
Well... I' m Su-min. Su-min Kim.
Did you know that old lady?
Who?
The lady who was looking for the security office.
Security office? Not a washroom?
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
I didn't know you were conducting an undercover operation.
I didn't say anything.
How did you know?
Well... I just know.
- You just know? - He is suspicious, chief.
We're not idiots. Isn't it obvious?
A homeless guy wearing an earphone like that.
And brand-new Nike Air Jordans?
They're knockoffs.
Who are you?
We're in a mystery film club.
A mystery film club...
Chief, look over there. Someone's coming.
Get them all!
They' re pathetic. It looks like a bait.
They can't lose the police that way.
They're running in the same direction.
I'm sure they'll get caught.
It's an attempt to distract the police.
I bet the money bag's still in the garbage can.
They probably covered it up with a newspaper
while standing around it.
Let's go find out.
I got it.
See? I was right.
Over there!
- Give it up! - Back off!
Stop the bleeding and get an ambulance.
Yes, sir!
What the hell were you thinking?
He took out a weapon... I just followed the regulation.
What if he dies? How would you find her?
By asking a psychic?
He's not gonna die. Don't you trust me?
I'm afraid he'll be brain dead.
He's in a hepatic coma.
He has a liver disease and it's critical.
We need to see how it develops, but there's little hope.
What kind of a moron does the kidnapping
when his liver's failing?
Sorry...
Did you find anything?
He's clean.
There was no clue at all.
What about the boys?
They knew nothing.
The suspect gave them money to do that.
Damn it!
Why don't we interrogate him?
Good! You do it!
Open up his head and find out where he's hiding her.
Who knows? Telepathy might work.
You were born with this?
Yes.
Is it okay his skull's opened like that?
Well, I've never seen this before.
It's possible his fontanel remain open.
- What about my scar? - The fontanel?
A soft spot on a newborn baby's skull?
Yeah. Usually it closes up around two years of age.
As his skull opens like this,
it creates a different pressure on the brain.
There you go! You know a lot.
As the brain pressure goes down,
more blood pumps into the brain.
What about my scar? Does it mean...
that his brain functions better than those of others?
We need a CT scan for more results.
Then do it.
- Excuse me. May I go? - Sure.
- How's the guy? - Oh, him?
He's not seriously injured. No need to write a deposition.
So I told him to go after seeing a doctor.
- Did you take care of it? - Sure. Huh?
Take care of what?
The bill!
- l'll pay it back. - When?
Soon...
Soon?
Can I just send you the money tomorrow?
Just give me your account number.
You expect me to believe that?
It's really late... You don't need to come to my place.
I don't mind. Besides, you don't even have a cab fare.
I can walk.
Oh... Why didn't you tell me? How far is it from here?
It's about a two-hour walk.
Taxi!
Here. You keep it.
- It's mine. - So I gave it back.
How did you get this?
It slipped out when you fainted in the park, and I picked it up.
So it was my money all along.
Bingo!
- Then why are you coming to my place? - I got some business to take care of.
I'll tell you when we get in.
Aren't you grateful to me for getting your wallet back?
Gosh!
You scared me! How did you get in?
I saw you putting the password.
You should know better than using the date of birth as a password.
- How did you know? - I saw your lD card from the wallet.
Are you a stalker?
Like you're that cute!
I got your wallet back, but you're so ungrateful.
You cheated.
Are you a runaway? How come you're not going home at this late hour?
Your parents have given up on you?
- My parents are not around. - How come? They're away on a trip?
They passed away.
I'm sorry.
Why? Did you kiIl them?
No. It's not that.
They were murdered?
If you're curious, why don't you read my mind?
I can't read your mind.
You can't read " my" mind?
It means you read those of others?
Just a spoon of sugar for me.
Is it good?
You got a supernatural power, right?
It's yours, isn't it?
It tells me that you're not sociable,
pathologically clean and defensive.
And you're a loner.
You don't have a girlfriend, do you?
For a man living alone, your place is clean and not smelly.
Would it smell better if I lived with a woman?
Of course, because she purifies the air.
So women are air purifiers?
Is it a joke?
- Aren't you supposed to be studying? - Study?
For college? I'm done with it.
Excuse me, but what's your lQ?
About the kidnapping case... Can't you give them some help?
Me? How could l?
You can read the kidnapper's mind to find out
where he's hiding her.
He's in a coma.
Right... Does it mean
you could read his mind if he came around?
No, it's not that. How could I read someone's mind?
Is that so? All right...
I'm going to bed, so you go home before you miss the last bus.
It's too late. Let me stay here for the night.
Hey!
Come on! Get up! Come on!
Get me some clothes to change into.
I'm over 180.
It's one size fits all.
Hey, you're not that tall.
Not my height. I mean my lQ.
Unbelievable!
I need a soft pillow, too.
Pass it over to the National Security Agency.
Why don't we negotiate with them ourselves?
Negotiate?
Our priority is to save her.
Help...
Su-min, wake up.
Breakfast is ready.
Breakfast?
- Where d id you get this? - I made it myself.
- You made it yourself? - Yes. Let me cut th is for you.
You really made this on your own?
Sure! Here. Say ahhh...
What a siIly dream!
Too early for making a fuss.
- Did you use my tooth brush? - Why?
- 'Cause it's wet. - Your toilet was dirty, so...
- Hey! - Got you!
- What? - So it was true.
What was true?
That you can't read my mind.
When are you going to stop following me?
I want to look around the campus.
Study hard and go to a college, OK?
Have fun!
Where are you going?
Somewhere you're not allowed in.
Aggghhh! How did you get in here?
By using my beauty and charm.
How did you manage your researchers?
How could you let this thing happened?
Security com mander's involved, too.
It was someone that you sent.
We'Il find her by alI means, so don't worry.
- Aren't you hungry? - Yes, I am.
Go home and get something to eat.
Let me treat you to lunch.
Why?
To make up for last night's trouble.
I think I owe you one.
You owe me to go home.
Just go.
One minute you messed with me, and now you're seeing another girl?
Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?
I'm buying you lunch.
- I don't like smelly sausages. - What are you talking about?
- Have a good time. - Thank you.
- Hey, are you rich? - It's not a big deal.
Stop acting like a hick.
- Are you a regular here? - No.
You know even an armless person can feel his arms itch?
Where did that come from?
What you see and hear may not even exist.
It's just a result of your brain activities.
This may not actually exist.
Likewise, I may not really exist.
Yeah, that's a relief.
You think your power's limited to reading minds?
I said I can't.
Isn't it possible that you can control what others think?
- What? - I mean the kidnapper.
He suddenly went blank and let go of me.
Maybe he felt you were gross.
- When are you expecting your company? - Excuse me?
I'm expecting no one.
I'm sorry.
Your power is not just about observing others' consciousness.
You're also able to transfer your thoughts to others.
I mean it's an interactive...
Sorry. I'm getting too technical.
Anyway, I think it's a two-way process.
It means you can change their thoughts, too.
- Change their thoughts? Can l? - Yes.
OK. Let's say I can.
What does it have to do with you?
Well, I want to see how you evolve.
Evolve? Am I a pocket monster or something?
Anyway, give it a try.
Control the manager's mind
so that we can have this for free.
Wake up, girl!
Pikachu! You can do it!
- Cut it out. - You have no choice.
How come?
I have no money.
Excuse me. One more please?
Would you like some more?
So what's the plan?
- You're driving me crazy. - Be more active.
Read the waiters' mind to
figure out whom you'll turn us into.
Don't you see l'm eating?
Does it have anything to do with reading minds?
You wouldn't know.
Legally, being a freeloader is a fraud.
"Sorry, we have no money. Give us a break."
It doesn't work at this kind of fancy restaurant.
We're going to get arrested.
What did you see?
- You don't want to know. - Try me.
Number two.
You mean, shit?
You're so squeamish for a man. Pull yourself together.
Have you got anything?
- The restaurant owner's son. - The owner's son?
Yes. He often brings girls here and doesn't pay the bills.
Everyone here thinks he is an asshole.
We got it.
Let me help you with the check.
It's 200,000 won.
Oh, l'm sorry.
I didn't count in your last order. It's 300,000 won, sir.
Move faster!
There's no such thing as a free lunch. OK?
I'm sorry.
This is for your hard work. Take it.
There's no gain without pain. Always keep that in mind.
- Thank you. - Now you can go.
It's weird. Why didn't it work?
Theoretically, it seemed possible.
You're not trying hard enough on purpose, are you?
Are you always taking the perfect liberty?
The world doesn't revolve around you.
Besides, l'm not the X-man.
Nothing comes easy like you expect.
Still, we enjoyed a fancy meal.
Fancy? From now on, a plate of lobster would only remind me of chlorine.
Can't you change the way you think?
Right. You can't scratch your own back.
By the way, what's in that envelop? A free coupon?
I don't know.
I'm so sorry...
Got you!
Life is not easy anyway.
Are you mad at me? Be a man!
Let's see what's in the envelop.
What?
Yes, sir. OK. I see.
I'll take care of it immediately.
By the way, your son dropped in this afternoon as you instructed,
I made him clean up the kitchen
and gave him some money. He was so...
Pardon? He's in Europe now? In a language school?
How much is this? Five? 500,000 won?
That guy's really generous.
We should have waxed the floor.
Now that we have some money, why don't we go to a nice place?
A nice place? Like what?
The Children's Grand Park!
Hey, little girl, why don't you go home? It's time for Sesame Street.
You're not coming with me?
Of course, not!
At this age? With you?
You're on your own.
What is it? What now?
Are you going to accuse me of messing with you again?
No.
This time, it's paid sex with an underage girl.
No matter what you say, l'm not going.
- It's your first time here, isn't it? - Why?
Girls your age usually don't...
There's the zoo!
- It's so cruel. - What do you mean?
I feel sorry for the animals.
We feed and shelter them. It's better than going extinct.
Are you saying they're happy in a cage like that?
It was you who wanted to come here.
Excuse me. Could you take a picture for us?
Sure.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Do you envy them?
Not really...
It's better than being lonely.
They're cheating on each other
and they both have dates tonight.
No wonder you have no friends.
You read their minds.
Since you know what they're thinking, you won't have any questions
and you don't need to have a talk.
Cause you see through deep inside,
you can't develop sincere feelings.
How about you? Got many friends?
Loner!
- You should thank me. - How's that?
Since you can't read my mind, we're having a talk like this.
Given this special circumstance, don't you have a dream like
finding your own soul mate and hiding in some secret place?
Am I Frankenstein?
Poket Monster, X-man, Frankenstein... Mature choices of vocabulary!
If you're done, let's go home.
So soon? I haven't even started yet.
Started what?
You read the waiter's memory, not his thoughts.
Is there any difference?
While thoughts are about the present, memories are about the past.
So it wouldn't have been easy to retrieve them,
but you did it.
Now let's have some further study!
You pick someone around here
who has a specific memory that I name.
You think that's possible?
It's called the cocktail effect. Men have this power
to single out what to hear from lots of noises.
Forget it!
I'm always ready to act as a teenage prostitute
Listen. I'm doing you a favor here. Don't you think this is too much?
I don't care whatever you do.
I'Il just run away. It's going to embarrass you, not me.
Th is is not the amount you promised before going to a motel.
How could you expect a discount just because you're a regular?
You're bad!
Tell me what to do.
Well, pick out a person who has done rock climbing.
- Rock climbing? - Yeah.
It's a unique experience. It would be easy for you to find such a person.
- I can't. Sorry... - You're fast.
- What do you mean? - You're so fast in giving up.
Over there. The man in a khaki leather jacket.
He has a fear of height!
Does he?
You said you were in an airborne unit. How could you have a fear of heights?
- I got that a few months ago. - Is that so?
I'm serious.
You know I worked as a window cleaner a while ago?
I had an accident there. After that, I came to fear heights.
Is that true?
Of course!
Looks like you're not doing your best. Are you trying to give up like that?
- No. - Try harder.
Over there.
- That smoker? - Yeah.
Wow, it's reaching pretty far.
Excuse me. Are you a rock climber?
You did it on purpose, didn't you?
Seriously?
Memories are not made up of languages.
Anyway, is there a language that you don't speak?
I thought a genius like you could speak more than three languages.
Seven.
What?
English, Japanese, Chinese, German, French and Spanish.
But he was speaking Russian!
That's six.
What about Korean?
Do it better, ok?
What's wrong?
That man...
- The one in a trench coat? All right. - No!
What's the matter?
- The kidnapper... - From yesterday?
Let's follow him.
- What? - We have to save her.
We?
Are you going to just stay put?
Don't you feel sorry for the g i rl?
Then why don't we call the police?
Hello? We found the kidnapper.
How?
We read his memory.
Where is he? How on earth could we know?
- Now let's call the police. - No. We can't do that.
Then what's the point being in here?
You've got to save her with your power.
My power?
We can't get away with this just by washing dishes again.
Honey, see where we are!
My mom's going to kill me if I stay out overnight.
You think you can handle that?
Come on...
It takes two to tango.
Where are they hiding her?
I can feel her upstairs. Maybe she's sleeping...
It's strange.
Detective! We' re here!
He's with them.
What is he doing here?
We got him wandering around.
We know each other, right?
How did it go?
We' re moving at dawn as we planned
They wouldn't trust the police because of what happened yesterday.
Everything's going great.
How did you know about this place?
What do you mean? You told us.
Otherwise, how could we know you guys were here?
- What the hell is this about? - Never mind.
This kid is playing tricks.
You promised to give us 10%.
That's why we gave you a hand in the park yesterday!
10%?
What did he ask you to do?
Wait for a guy in a cap around the bench.
Then scream and let him take us hostage.
You owe me an explanation.
Are you an idiot? It's just a kid fooling around.
Two billion won will be in our hands in a couple of hours.
Don't be stupid!
And you! Shut up or l'll rip your mouth!
If I'd known gun's involved, I wouldn't have done it...
You could have arrested him. Why did you have to shoot him?
I said, enough!
Now I get it.
You doomed to fail...
You jeopardized the credibility of the police by negotiating with them by yourself.
You have any idea whose lives are in danger because of you?
That's not true. I didn't shoot him.
Why would I shoot one of us?
Go ahead. Say something.
One bullet must be missing
cause he shot one yesterday.
Come on...
I'm not working with this idiot.
What about you
I don't care as long as I get my share.
Cool.
Then do me a favor.
Would you take care of him for me?
No problem.
You sly bastard!
Where did you go this time?
I was on the street.
Did you hear anything?
No.
There was no noise as usual.
But there was this weird guy.
Tell me about him.
He had a rainbow-colored cross over his head.
A rainbow-colored cross over his head.
He had a rainbow-colored cross over his head.
Al I l have to do is get her out of here.
Where? The Children's Grand Park?
AlIright. I'Il calI you later.
Help!
I've seen you before...
I thought it was a dream...
Hi.
What do you mean? A "professional" was involved?
He made up a scene as if they killed each other and commit suicide in the end.
The target's gone.
We need to check if other agencies are involved.
Let's go.
OK.
- Are you hungry? - Yes.
- Got anything in mind? - How about lobster?
Please...
Come on! I'd like to try it.
Well... Then we're going to another restaurant, not that one.
Why? The place wasn't that bad.
I just don't feel like it.
Don't worry. Let's just go.
- What is it? - Nothing.
This is good!
Is this your first time trying it?
Yeah. I remember how it tasted from your memory,
but it wasn't good.
Like it's not your fault.
You want to read my mind?
- What? - What are you so curious about?
Nothing...
You want me to tune in so that you can read?
Fine!
If you have a trouble with it, let me do it for you.
No, thank you.
If you need anything, please let me know.
He doesn't remember you?
I guess so.
Well, well, well....
Excuse me.
It was you, wasn't it?
- What? - Something that happened just now.
Huh? No.
How did you do that?
Did you turn me into someone else?
No,
I didn't. You know I failed here last time.
Right.
Hey, you really don't know my usual dishes?
How did you get hired? Get out!
Is this really your father's?
Of course. And it's going to be mine soon.
- You idiot! - Ouch! Who the hell is it?
Dad!
I just got here from the airport.
I was going to call you after I grab something to eat.
- Airport? - Yes!
- You mean you're back from Europe? - Yes.
By the way, this is Ankela. We met in ltaly.
Hello, dad!
Italy? Like you've ever been to ltaly.
What's with you?
I know you were here by yourself and ordered for three the other day.
And you even took money for clean i ng the kitchen.
- 500,000 won. - What?
I thoug ht you've changed,
but you even gambled away all your money?
Come on, you loser!
I don't know what you're talking about.
This sucks!
That explains a lot.
Your next mission is...
Turn me into a super model when you pay the bill.
- You? A super model? - Yes!
- You seriously think it's possible? - You can do that.
- No, I can't. - Just give it a try.
I won't.
You've got no choice.
