------------------------------
(person): So you succeed in capturing Kim Ghap Ho, but you fail to capture Kim Yun Seong...
You should understand how dangerous Kim Yun Seong is to us...

(hanjo guy): I apologize, sir. Something unexpected occurred...

(person): If you succeeded in this, it would have been immensely helpful.

but seeing as you failed, the higher-ups are slowly getting agitated.

Kim Soo Hyuk...is it just selfish of me to expect good results like before?

K.S.H.: N...no, sir. I will definitely finish this soon.

(person): Anyways...
as we cannot avoid giving security support for the festival, dispatch five squads to the "Trace" police force.

K.S.H.: Yes, sir.

(person): ......

Kim Ghap Ho's carving...

how is it...?

K.S.H.: We are slowly progressing with safety concerns in mind.

(person): Yes...if he sides with us, he will become a great asset...if he sides with the enemy, he will be very difficult to handle.

If he cannot join our side...

take care of him as you will.

K.S.H.: Understood...

J.T.S.: Carve me...

right now!

K.G.H.: When...

When I saw you before, I could tell you had no intention of doing it...something must have gone wrong.

J.T.S.: Stop pretending you know everything and let's begin. If you don't, you'll be killed.

K.G.H.: If it was that easy, you people would already have tortured me or something...you would do anything to make me carve...
but because you people know that this cannot be force, they are leaving me alone.

J.T.S.: I don't care for any of that! If you don't carve me right now, I'll crush your face! I'm not a sissy like the people here!

K.G.H.: You miss the point of the conversation completely...I've seen a lot of people like you. People like you are rampant in these times.

J.T.S.: What are you talking about?! Shut up and just prepare to carve!

K.G.H.: There are two kinds of people to your type...

J.T.S.: Kuh!

K.G.H.: The one type is the ones who are afraid that the world is getting harsher and difficult...

they are afraid, but they pretend to be strong on the outside...just so that they would be able to live well by themselves...

J.T.S.: Wh...what?!

K.G.H.: The other type are the ones trying to protect...

As the world gets more dangerous, there are a lot more things they need to protect...such as their mothers, fathers, sisters, siblings, friends, lovers, coworkers, and others...

These ones sound a bit better than the prior ones, but they're the ones who can get more reckless.

J.T.S.: ......

K.G.H.: Which type are you?

My head tells me you're the latter.

(space): Th...things to protect...

J.T.S.: I'm sorry, everyone! They're searching for me, so I don't have a choice! I can't let you people get hurt because of me! I'll be back once this quiets down!

I'll send money over occasionally, so don't worry about it!

(people): Sorry?! That's our line! You ungrateful wretch!

That's not the way to speak at a time like this~

We are the ones sorry...living by yourself is hard enough, yet you are protecting all of us...you are a nice person, Tae Soo...

We'll be waiting, so just be careful! Don't worry about the money...

We learned how to survive from you...now everyone can take care of themselves without dying!

J.T.S.: Haha! Then we'll both don't worry about each other!

(people): Mister! You need to be back soon!

J.T.S.: Of course! It won't take long!

(people): Since we're a family

we'll be living with each other until we die, right?

J.T.S.: Yeah!

We're a family, after all!

(space): A family...

I need to protect...

J.T.S.: I...

have a family I need to protect...

What do I need to do...

to be carved?

K.G.H.: ......

I never said I will not carve you.

J.T.S.: ...what?

K.G.H.: People say I look for some conditions to carve...but I have nothing like that. I have no care for neither money nor fame...
I just do what my head tells me to do.

J.T.S.: Then...

K.G.H.: I don't know what's about to happen, but you want to be carved like Kim Yun Seong...

In my eyes...you and Kim Yun Seong are alike.

J.T.S.: Y...you're going to carve me for nothing? There are no conditions?

K.G.H.: I'm curious about that myself...
anyways, prepare yourself. It's not going to be easy to get a new power.

You might get that power...

or you will die in the process!

The family you want to protect...yourself...
you can lose all that!

(person): Yes...if he sides with us, he will become a great asset...if he sides with the enemy, he will be very difficult to handle.

If he cannot join our side...

take care of him as you will.

(box): This...

is a way to change this world...

(sfx bubble): *creak*

(guard guy): A report, sir!

K.S.H.: What is it...?

(guard guy): Kim Ghap Ho has requested preparations for Jeon Tae Soo's carving!

K.S.H.: What?!

(guard guy): Kim Ghap Ho and Jeon Tae Soo both have agreed to be carved today.

K.S.H.: ......

(guard guy): And...

the operation with the Gater as the head have succeeded in capturing one of Kim Yun Seong team's key member!

We are transporting him to the interrogation room right now.

K.S.H.: Is that so...?

This work will be finally finished soon...

(box): If this is the start to changing this world...

(space): I have no other choice!
