Know that?

I troll random online forums,

and pick random fights

and being arrogant is all I know!

I'm a nobody in real world!

I wanted to do something for you,

but didn't know what.

I'm an idiot, right?

I never once liked you!

I know.

I'm in front of Ganmi Medical.

Park Gu's car is approaching the building.

It's difficult for it to pass through

so many people near the gate.

In his current half-man, half-fish condition,

it may be difficult for him to sustain life.

This may have been the deciding factor for him.

Park Gu! Park Gu!

And that was...

the last time I ever saw him.

N.S.E. test, take 7,

360V 25A.

Ow! It hurts!

Hold him down! Pin him down!

Come here, over here!

Lie down, lie down!

Did something go wrong?

What's with him?

What's wrong?

That's weird.

Passing out at only 35cc?

35cc?

Not 95cc?

No, it was 35cc.

Wrong dosage.

Do it right, a**hole! He could've been f***ed!

Almost f***ed...

I thought he was trying to swim.

What's this?

We were conduction a CH3CHO reaction test.

Right.

He displayed symptoms of seizure at 35cc.

- It could've been bad.

- Yes.

Be respectful.

He's a human too.

Yes, sir.

Thanks to his sacrifice,

Vector9 had a big launch,

but Dr. Byun's dream never came true.

That's it for today.

I missed out on so many things in my life.

So many fun things in the world.

Mr. Chairman.

Vector9 was designed to end world hunger.

At such high price, the product is meaningless.

Go see for yourself.

Vector9 is nothing more than

a luxury item for the top 1%.

My life and my work are being insulted!

Doctor.

Why do you bother me with that?

I'm just a...

humble salesman.

The price isn't set by people like myself.

It is set by ambition.

Blame people's ambition, not me.

I've been a fool.

I am so sorry.

And not long afterwards...

Gu's unpredictable life came to an end.

It was only then, that I saw his real face.

Get anything?

Give me the recorder.

Yo, community college!

What's up with him?

Get the recorder.

Goddammit!

Son of a b*tch!

How can we be so cruel?

It's all busted, dammit.

What was thought to be over,

Gu's story took a surprising turn

with Mr. Kim's announcement.

Vector9's creator Dr. Byun is...

nothing more than a swindler.

That Dr. Byun had the means

to turn Gu back to his human form.

A new trial was quickly set,

and for his negligence,

he received 7-year sentence.

A hero became a con man,

and a con man became a hero.

Dr. Byun is still behind bars...

Good to see you!

Mr. Kim became a politician.

It was rumored that he took bribes from Ogwang.

Gu's father is dedicating his retirement

to volunteer work for the country...

And Jin became a typical civil servant.

She found her calling.

The time passed rapidly.

I became a full-timer.

Sorry!

But not a real reporter.

Unable to adjust to the life of a reporter,

I followed the chief to the culture bureau.

Salivating and going wild,

those are the money shots!

Work is... work.

And... yesterday

Don't give up.

It'd be a shame, you're his last hope.

The day we spread Gu's ashes,

this was taken by chance.

Look at the bottom right.

Gu is not dead.

He came to see us that day.

Please tell me.

Where does the lie end and truth begin?

It's a secret.

What?

But there's no secret in the world.

Did you tell him?

That there was a treatment?

He already knew.

I'm so sorry.

I could've turned you back since the beginning.

But I was blinded.

I'm so sorry.

If I knew then what I know now...

But I could still...

Fish...

He wanted to live as a fish.

As a fish?

I looked into his eyes for a long time.

He meant it.

I didn't understand, but I wanted to help.

It was my only way

to beg for his forgiveness.

Seeing him walk into the ocean,

I was envious.

Lastly, he asked for one final favor.

In a slim chance,

very, very slim chance,

if you were to come and ask for the truth,

he wanted me to tell you everything.

Why?

I asked him that too.

What for?

Wanting the truth,

is the job of a real reporter.

Yo Mr. Documentary!

I forgot something.

What is it?

You're still clueless.

What do you think?

Hey, Jin!

Why do you keep bringing me stuff?

What do you expect me to do?

Well...

I thought you could do something with it.

Something that I can't...

Bastard, smoking again?

That's weird, a smoke-free day.

The air's nice and clean!

Isn't it nice when you don't smoke?

What's this?

Chief.

What?

I'm quitting smoking.

Really?

What's got into you?

And I'm not editing sting ray segment.

What?

They f***ing suck.

Are you nuts?

I got real work, gotta finish the doc.

You feeling okay today?

Fire me if you wish, you have my blessing.

Seo Sang-won! Hey!

And this!

Take it from my severance.

There was a man.

He came out of nowhere

and pushed our society into chaos.

He made us laugh and cry.

The story of a man, who was also a fish...

begins here.
