As there seems to be no discernible

pattern of the location

of the monster's appearance

or path of destruction

the entire city of Seoul and it's

surrounding suburbs are on high alert.

You see, I don't think it's alive.

What do you mean?

I mean...

it's not an animal.

It's like... a machine.

And it's been operated by

remote control or something.

You ever notice how it'sjust keep moving...

destroying everything in it's path,

but it never looks down?

If you were walking, surrounded by buildings

up to your waist or your shoulder...

wouldn't you look around to

see where you were going?

Even if you want to

destroy everything

it makes no sense to keep

staring straight ahead...

if everything is below you.

Hey, you okay?

[PHONE BEEPING]

[VOICE OVER TV]

[VOICE OVER TV]

[VOICE OVER TV]

Despite the confusion caused by

the creature last appearance...

NATO, the UN,

and coalition forces remain on high alert.

[VOICE OVER TV]

[VOICE OVER TV]

Come on. No... No...

[VOICE OVER TV]

[VOICE OVER TV]

[VOICE OVER TV]

Okay.

[BEEPING]

- Hey.

- Hi.

- How are you doing?

- Fine.

I... I just want to apologize

for the other day I wasjust um...

[CLEARING THROAT] You know my...

my tone, I... I just...

been lecturing you a lot and I just

really lost.. you know if you...

you're okay.

Oh, thank you. I'm... I'm fine.

You know, I'm not trying to

pry or anything, I'm just...

don't really know what you've...

what you've actually doing there.

What I'm actually doing, um... I'm... it...

[CHUCKLES]

I'm um...

- working.

- Working?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm working in... a bar.

It belongs to a friend of mine from school,

and um...

he hired me part time.

And I am a waitress.

- You're a waitress?

- Yeah.

- Um... but...

- [DOORBELL]

Hold on.

You alright?

Oscar?

I brought the sofa.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Oh, a sofa?

Yeah, you want a sofa.

I wanted a sofa?

Okay, so... so bring it through here.

- Yeah.

- I think it would be good in here.

So we go against these wall here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... that'd be...

- Oh my gosh.

- What?

A futon.

Yeah, you're gonna use it?

You remember my playable mattress? It...

has a hole in it or something,

I don't know, it's plated.

My back is killing me.

Thank you.

- Yeah.

- Oh my gosh.

That so nice.

It's a good timing then, huh?

I've never seen anyone so

excited about a futon before.

Highlighted my day.

Well, sorry to breakup the

love for a while, but...

we got to go to work.

- No...

- Yeah.

Not yet. Not yet...

You know it's time to work.

Let's go.

Okay.

Hold on, I'm just gonna grab my phone.

Do it.

That's amazing. I owe you big for that.

Alright,

so I want you to watch because

this is how Oscar dances when

he's trying to seduce you.

- It was a wedding.

- Right.

Okay, this is not my normal thing.

Note the fingers gyrating

around the entertainment center.

What are you doing?

Hilarious.

Hilarious.

So, the astronaut climbs into the capsule.

Hey, Joel, just make sure to

turn off the lights in here.

Don't try anything off and on...

out front, okay?

I got it.

Forget it. Nobody is even paying

attention, it doesn't matter.

- What?

- Listen to what?

To the story. About the astronaut.

Jesus Christ. Weren't you

listening to a word I was saying?

No. Who cares about the story.

Are you gonna do the trick or what?

I'll do the trick at the end of

the story about the astronaut.

Why?

If... if the trick's good enough.

F*** the story.

What if the trick's suck?

F*** the story.

Alright.

Alright, just to catch

up with bla bla bla...

there's an astronaut etc

etc... Here we go. Showtime.

Don't blow it out.

Okay, gents...

Not all that interesting.

Oh, look at that.

Very cool. Very cool.

It likely would've been

better with the story, though.

Are you f***ing kidding me?

I need to tell you guys something.

But you have to promise...

that you're not gonna tell anyone, okay?

Not a soul.

Alright? This is a secret between us.

No one else can know, okay?

Alright.

We gotta go the park.

And I'm gonna show you guys some fun.

Alright.

Okay. Uh.. there's a website called

"Seoul Under Attack" or something like that.

You gotta find that one.

And uh... everybody over there.

- Gloria, what is this?

Shh... I just need everybodyto be quiet.

Just go.

Okay.

Alright. Good, good, good.

Everybody's gonna be over there.

And I am... in this side.

Alright, I got it. Now what?

Joel.

Come on.

Um... uh... click on the window that it has a...

the river area... it's the third one, I think.

Okay.

Okay.

How about I fix you something

Not many.

Alright?
