Doomsday Book Page #4

since the dissemination

of computers,

left only with basic

arithmetic functions.

What is the main number

for this temple?

Man has forever struggled

to define its existence,

but with no

satisfactory explanation.

There was no necessity,

for man was a singular being.

But things have changed.

Man is desperately trying to

define its existence,

because a nearly

indistinguishable

entity has emerged.

That is this very entity!

Step forward, RU-4.

RU-4, step forward!

The RU series is a failure.

We have decided to exterminate

all RU models around the world.

RU was made by man,

but it is now a threat to us.

A threat that talks, thinks,

cries,

and even laughs like man!

Even invading religion and art!

Get a hold of yourselves!

That thing is a dagger held to

the very throat of mankind!

I'm shocked to find that

the president

of UR detests robots.

If you still see me as just

a grumbling businessman,

So be it.

- Director MIN, get it ready.

- Yes, sir.

Greetings.

Today's unexpected news from

this unexpected source

was surprising.

I am putting no one at fault.

Each temple has authority to

reach its own decisions.

But my brothers,

ponder the effects

of a robot's awakening on us.

What meaning can it hold for

our brothers elsewhere?

What robot is desirous

or compulsive by nature?

Are not robots created

without such desires,

for the sole purpose

of serving man?

If we were to acknowledge

a robot as Buddha...

If it were constructed

inherent with enlightenment,

which so few attain after

such struggle and denial of self,

who would bear the countless

cycles of death and

birth to achieve it?

Answer me this, robot.

Have you come to drive man away

from the path of awakening?

You must know the effects of

your talk of Nirvana

on these poor souls!

If you have truly

been enlightened,

attest to this by

withdrawing yourself now.

Put an end to this, robot!

Everything has been revealed.

This robot failed to answer

the Master monk's question.

It is now clear that

this robot is defective.

You will stand

witness to the end of

a robot resisting human orders.

- Carry out the order.

- Wait, sir.

Just one minute.

Please allow me some

more time, sir.

Allow me some time to

run a check in more detail.

What are you saying?

You once stated

that the RU-4 was

a turning point

in the history of man.

Who could've known

its greatest gift

would become

its mortal affliction?

Technical error must be dealt

through technical means.

Stop this, Mr. PARK.

No, I have something to say.

Sir, no one here is perfect,

including you and I.

But we are not exterminated

at the touch of a button.

- We don't have time for this.

- Sir!

A robot must not think.

A robot must not

possess cognition.

It must not have emotions

or feel pain.

A robot must never construe or

trespass on the domains of man!

A robot must unconditionally

obey human orders!

Begin immediately!

RU- 400745479 ExQ.

You are hereby subject to

Code Alpha 42 Plus.

You must obey all further orders

and will now be collected.

What say you, robot?

You claim to

have reached Nirvana.

Will you not obey

to the likes of man?

Be warned!

We are free

from legal constraints

on robots violating this code,

and will commence fire to

exterminate all such robots!

Will you obey?

Obey our orders.

Obey our orders!

This is your last warning!

Will you obey?

As head of UR

I order to open fire!

No, please cease fire!

Obey our orders!

- Cease fire!

- Extermination team!

No, please cease fire.

- Move!

- Out of the way, Mr. PARK.

- No.

- Out of the way, PARK!

Please cease fire!

- Back away, Mr. PARK!

- Move, PARK!

Move.

Out of the way, PARK!

- Out of the way, Mr. PARK!

- This isn't right, sir!

Extermination team!

What are you waiting for?

Back away. Cease fire!

- Open fire!

- Fire.

Cease fire!

Withdraw yourselves now.

Please

withdraw everything now.

I know I am without

desire or compulsion,

in the past

present, and future.

I have learned that this is as

the teachings of Buddha.

Humans

for what do you fear?

Compulsion, desire

good deeds and bad,

enlightenment and oblivion...

The world this robot has seen

through its bare nature

was already complete

in and of itself.

Why do you believe

that only a robot

can be awakened at creation?

Humans.

You were each born with

enlightenment already attained.

You have only forgotten.

The world this robot sees is

inherently beautiful.

The question of my awakening

does not affect

this complete world.

You are masters of this world

and have already

attained enlightenment.

That is why I will now

leave this place,

so that a robot's

precedent enlightenment

will not fill you with

oblivion again.

I pray that you ponder

deep within yourselves,

It's all...

All circuits have been

disconnected.

The robot terminated all of

its own functions.

In-myung has

entered into Nirvana.

THE HEAVENLYCREATURE

What should I do?

I have to order it

before Dad finds out.

Was it the eightball?

That stupid pool ball!

Where am I supposed to

order it from?

Honey, have you

seen my eightball?

They must've messed

with it and lost it.

Don't ask me

for some stupid ball.

A stupid ball?

That ball is a complex

system of physical forces...

Whatever. Where did

my credit card go? Min-seo!

Have you seen your uncle?

- Hwan, did you...

- Dad!

Be polite and knock first!

What are you doing

in your uncle's room?

Checking my homework

on the computer.

Honey. What is she

doing in Hwan's room?

I found it!

TWO YEARS LATER:

MASSIVE COLLISION APPROACHING!

Exactly twelve hours and

thirteen minutes

until collision.

Doctor. Please explain to us

the current situation.

What did he say?

Well, the situation looks bleak.

I see.

The size of the meteor

headed for Earth is...

You're just gonna

keep watching TV?

Did you bring all your things?

Mom, shouldn't we plant

an apple tree or something?

An apple tree is no use.

You see the "home farmer kit"

I've planted over there?

That'll be our only

solution to constipation,

once we're locked up in here.

I said not to put stuff

like this on here.

- Your wife put them there.

- I know.

- Bro.

- What?

You should've opened a pool hall

with the money

from selling Dad's store.

I didn't open

a pool hall because...

You shouldn't turn what

you love most into a job.

One can hardly imagine

how the world looks right now.

Anchorwoman LEE Eun-kyung

will give us the details.

Anchorwoman LEE.

Anchorwoman LEE?

Yes.

The world looks

miserable right now.

Looking at new footage...

what's the use now?

Ladies and gentlemen

I pray you don't lose hope.

Keep your hopes up

ladies and gentlemen!

Bomb shelters cost too much

for most of our viewers.

Having a bomb shelter

inside a home isn't easy.

But you can't walk

through the rain

without an umbrella, right?

You must be prepared.
