Doomsday Book Page #5

really can live

comfortably in the pod.

Inside our special

Life Cube shelter pod,

everything is solar-powered.

Sanitation and water supply

are part of one system.

- One system?

- Yes.

You'll have purified

urine to drink.

Purified urine!

It does sound a bit repulsive,

but it's extremely sanitary.

You'll have fresh water

any time you want

I'm sure you're already dialing

our number on your phone.

Remember that

we have one day left

before the big collision.

You have to decide today,

in order to receive

the shelter pod

before the collision tomorrow.

This is our last live

deal before the collision.

If you buy it

after the collision,

it'll be too late.

Make the right choice

and call us now.

Huh?

OUTOF SERVICE RANGE

Honey. You're really

gonna do that right now?

I wonder how your mother

ever raised you two...

Balls and robots...

I'm a little offended.

Who installed the electricity

and everything in here?

You went to KAIST.

It's is the least you could do.

It's the end of the world and...

Honey. Think of all the days

we'll be spending in here.

Don't waste

your energy already.

This photograph has

just been released...

My good old friend

is on the news!

The meteoroid currently

heading for Earth

appears to be of

a certain ball-like form.

NASA and scientists

everywhere are

quickly analyzing

this photograph.

QKR 0109...

Q... Cue for billiards.

"KR"...For Korea.

Today's date.

No, that's not it.

Come on, intelligent brain!

Maybe she regrets not studying

now that the world is ending.

Skills are better

than book smarts.

Skills last longer.

Just don't make us miserable by

taking up something absurd.

- I think I love you.

- I love you too, honey.

She took it the wrong way.

That's an a useless

hobby, not a skill.

Mom, Dad. Uncle Hwan.

That thing coming toward us...

That pocket ball...

I ordered it.

I'll be a better dad, okay?

I'll play less billiards.

We won't fight.

I know you're

scared and confused,

but we have to have hope.

Mommy and Dad...

I'm telling the truth!

I really ordered that!

Don't you remember, Mom?

The day Uncle Hwan

saw that UFO.

I saw a UFO on my way home.

Uncle Hwan.

What's your purpose on Earth?

Seriously I just looked up

while coming up the hill,

and a silver

saucer went whoosh...

That's my ID!

That's how we type

our last name!

0109 is my birthday.

Today!

I found a weird website

selling pool balls for ten cents.

For real?

It swirled around when I clicked

and the order went in.

I'm not lying!

Maybe it was a website

for aliens!

I think I was wrong earlier.

Let's brush up

on your speech skills

before anything else.

I can't understand

a word you're saying.

Are you mad because

we forgot your birthday?

We've been a bit

preoccupied, honey.

Trying to analyze the "QKR0109"

symbol we have seen

will be nearly impossible.

Huh?

What is this?

Mankind is not perceptive enough to...

I'll spend my last moments at home,

praying with my family.

Min-seo.

Daddy knows how you feel.

It's all right.

You won't believe

anything I say anyway.

I'm gonna go outside

for a bit,

since this might

be my last time.

What in the world have I done?

Bro! I know you're busy,

but we need to talk.

You guys can ignore what

I say like you always do,

but you shouldn't

ignore Min-seo,

your one and only hope.

Just like the UFO

I saw a few years ago,

the idea of her eightball

meteor is certainly a bit absurd

But what's important is that

the world might

end in a few hours.

According to Stephen Hawking's

black hole theory,

things we can't humanly

explain can sometimes

happen in this universe.

The four of us becoming a family

could be one silly phenomenon.

And according to

wheeler's wormhole theory...

- Uncle Hwan.

- Yes?

Stop talking bullshit and

say something realistic.

Well, okay.

I've thought for years

that this black hole phenomenon

could become linked through

Internet or cell phone signals.

And the fact that I saw

that UFO is also strange,

because that thing

I saw was real!

I looked through

the browser history.

There really was one odd address.

Mom!

Something is weird outside.

The sirens are really loud.

Turn on the TV!

Ladies and gentlemen

I repeat...

Due to the meteor's

sudden acceleration,

we now have twenty minutes

and twenty seconds left.

We're also seeing

strange weather

because of

the meteor's influence.

Let's find out the current

status of our weather report.

- What's the weather report?

- Nothing too special.

I see.

Then here's the last

presidential address,

a bit ahead of schedule.

Let's connect

to the Blue House.

We'll try again.

Blue House?

Yes. We seem to be having

some technical difficulties.

We'll try again next time.

Next time, when?

There is no next time.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I have something to

confess before I die.

Let's confess

after the collision...

Despite all

the great guys out there,

I picked the man

sitting next to me now.

I loved this married man

with all of my heart.

But now this scumbag

ditched me,

for the young little

reporter KIM Song-yi.

Now they're having an affair!

Before the world ends,

and before the whole nation,

I'll have this scumbag...

No manners at all.

Yes. Ladies and gentlemen,

I will carry out my duties as

a broadcaster to the very end.

Why are you sitting there?

Well, I've always wanted to.

Can't I?

Today is our last show.

Why not?

I think you look sexier

than Anchorwoman LEE.

I gave you everything

you bastard!

Just how?

How can you call yourself a man?

Do you love her?

Right.

I will remain composed

and stay with our viewers...

Hey.

Couldn't we cancel

or return the eightball?

Let's try going on the computer.

Uncle Hwan.

I can't understand

what we're supposed to do.

Heck, even Einstein himself

couldn't figure this out.

Uncle Hwan, what is this?

An enter key?

Let's try it.

- I think it stopped!

- Really?

What now?

Wouldn't clicking on the 'x'

stop it for good?

No!

These aren't symbols

used by humans!

We need the electricity!

- What do we do?

- A muscle cramp?

You should've listened to

me when I told you to exercise.

I don't have time to exercise.

I worked so hard to let you

keep up that hobby of yours...

Honey. Ow!

Cramps!

- I don't know what to do!

- Let's just click 'x'!

- Pretty please!

- Please...

No!

Mom.

Dad. Uncle Hwan.

I never imagined not

becoming a grown-up.

I ordered that

eightball so that...

I wouldn't let down Dad.

Mom. Dad. Uncle Hwan.

I love you.

You know that, right?

Min-seo. Happy Birthday.

TEN YEARS LATER:

Honey!

Min-seo!

Min-seo!

Min-seo!

- Are you all right?

- What in the world...

I wanted to see its face...

They left already?

Just come out and look.

Oh my... My, my...

My good old friend

the eightball.

Min-seo.

How did that eightball get

destroyed in the first place?

Oh, I don't know...

Maybe, it was just time

for it to get destroyed.
