Doomsday Book Page #2

relocation right now?

If you have time

to be sitting here,

go home and

feed your children.

I am here to represent

the people!

Please refrain

from personal attacks.

Serve your country

by being a good mother.

Your affairs with lingerie

not going so well recently?

Lingerie?

So that's why

you got divorced.

Again, personal attacks are...

Symptoms in these virus

patients have worsened.

We managed to sit down with

one patient showing

violent symptoms.

You don't look too

well right now...

I remember the days

as a student back in Russia.

Ladies and gentlemen.

This epidemic is now spiraling

beyond our control.

It was Leon Trotsky's...

Meat and the Bible.

These two things represent

food for the body and the soul.

But when conflict arises

between these two provisions...

What are you doing?

Crisis has arisen in...

The Department of Agriculture

employed over

thirty health officials,

running detailed inspections

of the local pig farms.

No additional cases

have occurred,

but vaccinations

were encouraged.

The virus won't become active,

but it can still be contagious.

Vaccinations are necessary to...

The whole complex is empty.

All this chaos in one week!

We leave for one week and

the country goes to ruins.

I can't even step out without

worrying for the nation.

Just worry about yourself.

How could you tag along on

our wedding anniversary trip?

Open the door! I have to pee!

He's not answering.

- He's not?

- No.

I specifically told him

what time we'd be back.

You had the keys when we left.

I did?

Just find it!

Goddamn it.

You're really in Mensa?

- I had the keys.

- Jeez, Mom!

Sheesh.

Why is it so dark in here?

Seok-woo.

Are you all right?

He didn't clean up all week.

What a mess.

Why, that little...

Just look at that idiot

putting on an act.

I wondered if he could handle

himself, but apparently not

Look at him

just staring at us.

What's that smell?

He probably played

games all night.

My liquor!

I warned him

not to touch it...

Seok-woo!

What's wrong with you?

- What's wrong with him?

- Seok-woo!

Son!

What's gotten into you?

Seok-woo! It's Dad!

He has to try on

the pants I bought him...

Seok-woo, Mommy...

My 30-year-old Ballantine's...

Johnnie walker Blue Label...

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel...

I told them

we shouldn't come back.

We've received reports that

the virus symptoms have mutated.

Uncontrollable libido

appetite, and depression...

Patients had been

suffering from

symptoms related

to such human vices.

Now they've lost

all cognitive abilities

and are attacking

others at random.

The number of casualties

is skyrocketing.

They may appear to be

living human beings,

but experts call them

"dead bodies

in suspended animation".

Please refrain

from going outdoors

and stay somewhere safe.

If you see any people moaning

or walking very slowly,

we advise you

to flee immediately

or to report

to the nearest police.

An unverified report

states that

even deaths have occurred.

Unbelievable breaking news.

Victims believed

to have been murdered

by the virus patients

have been coming back to life

in immediate suspended animation.

Symptoms of the unidentified

virus have quickly mutated.

Experts are working nonstop to

find the cause of this phenomenon,

but even cutting edge science

cannot explain these events.

A reporter from Seoul Monthly

released a controversial theory online,

claiming this epidemic to be

of North Korea's doing,

and that talk of withdrawal of

U.S. Forces was the cause.

A far-right politician

claims this to be

nationalists' vendetta

against himself.

He has applied

for asylum in Japan,

but it was denied again.

Some have also

suggested reinstating

of Dr. HWANG to study

the virus.

Members of HWANG's advocate

group, "HWANG Forever",

visited

the Ministry of Environment

to request a meeting

with the Minister.

Most online comments on handling

virus patient attacks

were proven false.

As analysts believe this is

another instance

of cyber-bullying,

some claim protesters of the

online real-name system

are responsible.

The American Secretary of Defense

has reported

to the U.S. President

that "such biochemical attacks

must not be ignored",

and that "drastic measures

must be considered

to ensure world peace".

Do you think we'll

remember this moment?

And the LORD God commanded

the man, saying,

"Of every tree of

the garden you may freely eat;

but of the tree of

the knowledge of good and evil

you shall not eat

for in the day that you eat of it

you shall surely die."

Genesis 2:
16-17

Robot assistance

fortunately allows us

to focus on our practices.

Do they take care of cleaning?

No, our monks do the cleaning.

Cleaning is part

of our practices,

but money management is not.

What kind of duties does the

defective RU-4 have here?

In-myung is a guide robot who

provides general information.

But calling him "defective"

does not seem suitable.

If he's not defective...

Are you saying

he thinks on his own,

rather than repeating

the input data?

Correct. He shares

his own realizations

with our believers

and other monks.

But don't monks struggle

to attain enlightenment?

You're saying a robot

has attained it?

Howbeit, we have heard

his teachings,

and have acknowledged

his spiritual growth.

Instead of repairing or checking

for In-myung's defects,

we seek your professional

judgment on his current state.

There is In-myung.

Turn your head.

What? Are you curious?

Please see me for what I am.

Everything looks normal.

I am normal.

I wasn't talking to you, robot.

I realize this must be

stressful for you.

What are you talking about?

It is all right.

I am just a machine.

Please feel at ease.

I am.

I've handled hundreds of

troublesome robots like you.

I do not understand

why UR International

sent a repair specialist.

I'm here at

the temple's request.

I know we did not request

a repair specialist.

A specialist

first checks in-person

for defects or need of service.

It's protocol.

Then you have confirmed

that I have no defects.

That's not for you to decide.

All is functional

is it not?

This matter is beyond

my authority.

I do not understand.

I don't know what

you're asking of me.

I know nothing about Buddhism.

If a robot is defective,

I change its parts

and repair it.

If it's worse

I report to the head office.

My job is to fix

defective robots.

But you're telling me

this robot is Buddha.

If this crazy robot claims

he's Buddha,

it's my job to open him up

and repair the short circuit.

But you want me to confirm

if he is Buddha.

You are not at fault, sir.

Stay out of this!

Humans are talking!

I apologize

if we have offended you.

I had thought seeing him

for yourself would be best.

I'm afraid

my actions were rash.

This is beyond my authority.

I'll file a recall

according to protocol.

In-myung is no mere robot.

That's for us to decide.
