INT. IN THE HOUSE - MORNING
The second floor of the house. The door of the room opens. Alicia is driven into the room, thrown on the sofa. On the windows of the lattice.
ALICIA
Oliver, explain. Why are you doing this? Why do you need all this?! You will be caught and you will be punished.
OLIVER
Don't be sure that they will find you at all.
ALICIA
What do you have in mind? Are you going to kill me? Come on, I do not believe it!
OLIVER
Alicia, I believed you, you can even say that I fell in love. And you took and betrayed me.
ALICIA
What are you carrying? What are you smoking?
Oliver closes the door. Alicia was left alone in the room. She goes to the door and pulls the handle. The door is closed. Then she walks over to the window. The window is open, but the grille does not allow escaping. Alicia throws up her hands.
ALICIA
What the hell!
INT. ALICIA'S ROOM - MORNING
Curtains sway in the breeze. Jackson walks around the room. He knocks on the bathroom. He looks at the empty bed. Inspects the dressing table. Hi dissolves in the air.
MOUNTAIN PLACE
The doorbell rings. Grandpa walks out of the kitchen and opens the door. Jackson is standing on the porch.
JACIE
Jackson, so early?
JACKSON
Yes, sorry for an early visit.
JACIE
And Alicia is not at home.
JACKSON
How? Where could she go so early?
JACIE
I don't know. She ran out of the house so quickly. What we did not have time to ask her where she goes so early. Maybe for a run. She likes to run in the morning ... When the weather is good.
JACKSON
Excuse for troubling.
INT. POLICE STATION - DAY
Jackson enters the police station. It passes through the guard.
The guard watches the video in the phone and does not notice Jackson.
JACKSON (VO)
Very reliable security. The city sleeps well.
Jackson walks over to Kim Junghyun's office. The door is ajar. Min Yooson reviews the case file. Min Yooson sings a song barely audible. Kim Junghyun sits in a chair with a newspaper in his hands and closes his eyes. Jackson knocks on the open door.
KIM JUNGHYUN
(wakes up)
Ah ... Who else? Who are you? What a deal.
(to Min Yooson)
I told you not to sing in the workplace ... Your singing acts like a lullaby on me...
MIN YOOSON
Is to blame. Will not happen again.
KIM JUNGHYUN
(To Jackson)
What business have you come for?
JACKSON
I...
KIM JUNGHYUN
Did you come after the academy? Sorry, you are a few weeks late. I already have a partner. Min Yooson.
JACKSON
Not. I'm in another case.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Come on. Write a statement. Who killed who, shot, wounded? I hope you will not write about it. And then I and my partner do not have time to solve crimes. And they grow like mushrooms after rain. Even in the nineties there were not so many crimes as now.
JACKSON
I'm just on the business of the nineties. I'm Jackson Moroni.
Kim Junghyun does not understand anything and just looks at Jackson.
KIM JUNGHYUN
I do not understand. And where are you and the nineties?
JACKSON
I'm Jackson Moroni. Seoul Police Academy...
Kim Junghyun gets up from the chair. Looks carefully at Jackson.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Jackson? But how? Cannot be!
Min Yooson breaks away from his papers and looks at his boss.
JACKSON
Maybe. Just ask, do not ask about plastic surgery.
KIM JUNGHYUN
I’ll ask. So where did you make them?
JACKSON
It is not joke. I'm serious.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Min Yooson, you can leave us for a while.
MIN YOOSON
Of course. I found a deal. A ninety-year-old grandmother complains that chicken legs are constantly disappearing. She lives alone with the cat. And I already know who is to blame. I'm going to deal with her furry neighbor.
Min Yooson leaves. Kim Junghyun walks over to the door. He looks into the corridor, looks around. Closes the door. Sits behind his chair.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Jackson, did you already understand that I didn't understand anything?
JACKSON
Got it.
KIM JUNGHYUN
You are gone. And then you appear in 25 years.
JACKSON
But no one should know about it.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Got it. So how did this happen? Where did you be all this time? How did you disappear?
JACKSON
Perhaps my story will drag on. Be patient.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Wait. Now I think that at that time enlighten the mind. You will?
Kim Junghyun pulls out a bottle of alcohol and a glass from a drawer on the table. Jackson refuses. Pours and drinks in one gulp.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Well, as you wish. And it does not hurt me. Not every day friends from another world come back.
Jackson tells his story. Kim Junghyun listens to him carefully and drinks alcohol from time to time.
INT. POLICE STATION - MORNING
Min Yooson enters the police station. Happily sings a song. Stops in front of the office.
MIN YOOSON
You see, doesn't like him my lullaby. I like it.
Min Yooson enters the office. He sees Kim Junghyun sleeping at his desk. Under the table is an empty bottle of alcohol. Min Yooson wrinkles his nose and opens the window. Sits at his desk. Kim Junghyun continues to sleep.
MIN YOOSON
You came to work so early today, Kim Junghyun.
Kim Junghyun abruptly jumps up and rubs his eyes.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Wow, what a sleeping it was!
MIN YOOSON
So you sleep in the workplace, partner?
KIM JUNGHYUN
I'll talk to you now! Have you closed all the cases? A stack of unsolved crimes only grows on your desk!
MIN YOOSON
Because you’re unsolved affairs are mystically teleporting to my desktop.
KIM JUNGHYUN
So, about mysticism, don't say anything ... Make me coffee better, but stronger, for some reason my head is broken ... And do it to yourself.
Min Yooson makes coffee. Kim Junghyun drinks water straight from the carafe.
MIN YOOSON
I closed yesterday's case.
KIM JUNGHYUN
The case of a cat a hundred year old grandmother?
MIN YOOSON
Case ninety years old grandmother and her chicken legs.
Kim Junghyun looks at Min Yooson in surprise. Min Yooson offers coffee.
MIN YOOSON
Or rather...
KIM JUNGHYUN
Yes, I understand, I understand, not to explain.
MIN YOOSON
It turns out that it was not her cat who stole chicken legs. A cat is also a hundred years old, and he walks with difficulty.
KIM JUNGHYUN
And then who?
MIN YOOSON
Her forty year old grandson. Unemployed and drunkard. I caught him at the crime scene yesterday.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Arrested
MIN YOOSON
No. Grandmother asked not to take away her grandson. She herself beat him with a rolling pin.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Well, got it.
Kim Junghyun puts a half-empty decanter on his forehead. Closes eyes.
INT. POLICE STATION - MORNING
On the corridor are Mitsuri and Jacie Kang. They look around. Embarrassed I look into the office. Kim Junghyun comes out of his office with a decanter.
MITSURI
(to Kim Junghyun)
We want to write a statement.
KIM JUNGHYUN
What statement?
JACIE
We have a granddaughter disappeared.
Kim Junghyun is calling An Seohyun.
KIM JUNGHYUN
An Seohyun, accept old men. They have a statement about the disappeared of a person.
AN SEOHYUN
(to old people)
Follow me. So who disappeared?
Everyone went to their offices. The corridor is empty. Silence.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Min Yooson! How long to wait for you?
MIN YOOSON
I'm running!
Min Yooson runs out of his office with documentation. Runs straight to the exit.
EXT. IN FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION - MORNING
Kim Junghyun walks up to his car. He sits in the driver's seat. Brings a glass of hot coffee to his lips. At this point, Jackson appears next to him in the passenger seat. Kim Junghyun shudders in surprise.
KIM JUNGHYUN
What the heck? In the middle of the day. If anyone sees, Jackson. Be careful with your abilities ... It feels like my dream doesn't end.
JACKSON
No time. Alicia is missing.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Are you sure about this or just cannot reach her?
JACKSON
She left the phone. There are suspicions that Oliver is involved in this.
KIM JUNGHYUN
So check in his house.
JACKSON
I was there; there was nobody there, except for a few smoked guys.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Do not worry. Can't you find her with your abilities?
JACKSON
I can’t. I was already wherever she could be. Neither in the restaurant, nor in the house of Oliver, nor in the park. Nowhere. As the air dissolved.
KIM JUNGHYUN
In my opinion, the dissolution in the air - in your style...
Min Yooson gets in the car. Welcomes Jackson. Gives Kim Junghyun a bottle of water.
KIM JUNGHYUN
I will send the group to Oliver's house. Perhaps he was involved in her disappearance. Reasons to search abound.
MIN YOOSON
Have you got a new criminal case?
KIM JUNGHYUN
Yes. What do you have for Oliver Lin and his friends?
MIN YOOSON
I have so much information that they give him a decent jail sentence. But what about the evidence?
KIM JUNGHYUN
I am responsible for the evidence. And you, as always, have all the documentation.
MIN YOOSON
As always ... When can I get involved in a serious criminal case?
KIM JUNGHYUN
Do not worry. Soon your best hour will come ... Tell me, what else could you have dug out from Oliver?
INT. IN AN SEOHYUN'S OFFICE - DAY
An Seohyun gives the paper and pen to Mitsuri and Jacie Kang. He takes notes in his notebook.
MITSURI
Our granddaughter has disappeared.
AN SEOHYUN
When did you see her last?
JACIE
Yesterday at dawn. She left. I thought that as always for a run. But now the day has passed, and she has not returned.
AN SEOHYUN
Did she leave a note or something else?
MITSURI
No. She disappeared so quickly that she did not even take the phone with her.
Mitsuri hands over the phone to Alicia An Seohyun.
AN SEOHYUN
I will leave this as evidence...
SON JIWON
If you have something about her disappearance, then come to us... We will look for her ... Do not worry.
Son Jiwon takes old men out of the office.
EXT. IN FRONT OF THE POLICE STATION - DAY
Mitsuri and Jacie Kang slowly walk out of the police station.
JACIE
But what is it? Since there was a similar case with Elizabeth, they also did not believe us. Around only gangsters. Here everything is overbought. They do not care and they are not interested in anything except money...
MITSURI
Maybe we should give them a bribe to start doing something?
JACIE
What are you doing? Then how are we going to be different from these bandits?
Old men walk slowly down the street.
INT./EXT. IN POLICE CAR - DAY
In the car in front of the police station, Jackson, Kim Junghyun and Min Yooson continue to sit.
JACKSON
But the grandparents of Alicia. They went to write a statement. Do you think anyone will look for her?
KIM JUNGHYUN
I sent them to An Seohyun ... I did not know that these were her relatives. I would accept this statement myself. He obeys Oliver and his father. Therefore, I am not sure that they are already looking for her.
MIN YOOSON
Then do not waste time in vain. We will go look for her.
Kim Junghyun and Jackson look at each other.
INT. IN AN SEOHYUN'S OFFICE - DAY
An Seohyun is looking at Alicia’s phone. Sees the correspondence of Oliver and Alicia. From her phone calls Oliver.
AN SEOHYUN
Oliver, do you know that abduction is a serious article?
OLIVER (LC)
That's why I need you.
AN SEOHYUN
Return the girl to where she was taken. Do not make her nervous, old people are nervous.
OLIVER (LC)
Do not teach me what to do. If I did it, then there is a reason.
AN SEOHYUN
And what is the reason?
OLIVER (LC)
That guy I asked you about. I need to know everything about him.
AN SEOHYUN
Why do you need this ghost? He is nowhere to be found. Does not exist.
OLIVER (LC)
Therefore, I want to understand this.
Oliver stops talking. An Seohyun deletes messages from Alicia’s phone and everything related to Oliver.
AN SEOHYUN
How tired I am to be his nanny.
INT. IN THE HOUSE KANG'S FAMILY - EVENING
Jackson is talking to Jacie.
JACKSON
I will definitely find her.
JACIE
Just be careful. You know how that story ended 25 years ago.
JACKSON
I know. I finished it. Everything will be fine, you just do not worry. I will do everything possible.
Jackson leaves home.
INT. OLIVER`S HOUSE - EVENING
A police outfit breaks into the house. They arrest all who are there. Oliver was handcuffed.
MIN YOOSON
Oliver Lin, you are under arrest. You can keep silent...
OLIVER
You, puppy, take your hands off!
MIN YOOSON
Anything you say will be used against you in court...
OLIVER
You still regret it. I'm not guilty of anything. What is the reason for the arrest?
KIM JUNGHYUN
There are many reasons for this - bribes, possession and distribution of drugs, as well as weapons and, finally, kidnapping.
OLIVER
What? What other kidnapping?
KIM JUNGHYUN
So you agree with all of the above, except for the abduction?
OLIVER
I do not agree with anything! You have no right to delay me. Who are you?
The police pulled several packages of white matter out of the caches of the house. From the basement - firearms and edged weapons.
KIM JUNGHYUN
I am the one who sends you to jail for a dozen years. So shut up or never get out of prison.
MIN YOOSON
Alicia Kang is nowhere to be found.
KIM JUNGHYUN
So you will deny that you are not involved in her disappearance?
OLIVER
She is not here? So not involved. I ask you to leave my house!
Kim Junghyun appeals to all policemen.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Investigators, leave the house, with this criminal.
OLIVER
(To Kim Junghyun)
Are you not afraid to make me a company in one cell?
KIM JUNGHYUN
Get him out of here!
INT. POLICE STATION - EVENING
Kim Junghyun in the office interrogates Oliver.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Call history shows that you called her before she disappeared. Don't you dare deny it? Where is she?
Oliver is silent. Looks at Kim Junghyun.
OLIVER
Want to know? Let's show you.
KIM JUNGHYUN
What are you up to?
OLIVER
Just give me my phone ... You're wasting time.
Kim Junghyun is holding Oliver's phone. After a few seconds, he gives the phone back to Oliver. Oliver does some phone operations and turns him over to Kim Junghyun.
KIM JUNGHYUN
What is it?
OLIVER
Look carefully.
Kim Junghyun is watching online-video. In the video, Alicia is in the pool; her hands are chained to heavy construction. Water gradually fills the pool. She can barely stand on her feet; the water is already approaching her face.
OLIVER
You have 15 minutes. If I do not leave here with my friends, then in 15 minutes this beautiful girl will have to breathe under water.
KIM JUNGHYUN
What are you asshole!
OLIVER
14 minutes.
Kim Junghyun leaves the office, takes Oliver's phone with him. He consults with his colleagues on how best to deal with this situation.
They let go of Oliver. Oliver leaves the office. He picks up his phone.
Jackson grabs him by the collar of his shirt and almost raises him above the floor.
JACKSON
I will destroy you, like your grandfather, if anything happens to her.
OLIVER
Easy, boy ... There is no place on earth for the dead. Their place into the earth.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Jackson, let him go.
OLIVER
If you follow me ... Alicia will die.
Jackson raises his hand to hit him, but Kim Junghyun prevents him. Oliver and his friends leave.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Sorry, Jackson, we did everything we could.
MIN YOOSON
(to Kim Junghyun)
We have a chance to stop him.
Min Yooson shows on the tablet program for tracking through the radio beacon.
KIM JUNGHYUN
How?
JACKSON
When I grabbed it, I attached a beacon to it.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Jackson, you're great.
JACKSON
I did not invent it. This is your partner.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Min Yooson, if everything works out, I'll write you a prize.
MIN YOOSON
I will gladly spend it on celebrating my promotion.
An Seohyun is walking past Kim Junghyun’s office. Hears their conversation and quickly goes to his office.
INT. OLIVER'S COUNTRY HOUSE - EVENING
Oliver goes to the kitchen. His phone is ringing.
OLIVER
Something else?
AN SEOHYUN (VO)
Wait for the guests. A squad of policemen is heading towards you.
OLIVER
How? Did they not understand my words?
AN SEOHYUN (VO)
I tell you what I know. You have a lighthouse.
Oliver inspects his clothes. In the breast pocket is a tracking device the size of half a centimeter. Throws into the sink and opens the tap with water.
OLIVER
Jackson, I'll tear it to pieces!
AN SEOHYUN (VO)
They are on their way.
OLIVER
Yes, I understood, I understood!
Oliver quickly runs upstairs. He takes Alicia and runs out into the street.
EXT. IN FRONT OF A COUNTRY HOUSE OLIVER - EVENING
Oliver makes Alicia get in the car. He orders his friends to follow his car.
Friends take weapons and go for Oliver in their cars. After some time, police cars drive up to the house.
Jackson, Ming Yooson, Kim Junghyun, An Seohyun, Son Jiwon out of cars.
AN SEOHYUN
There is no one. The house is empty.
MIN YOOSON
Traces of fresh, they just recently left. We can still catch up.
AN SEOHYUN
Son Jiwon, get in the car, we'll catch up with them.
(to rest)
Follow us.
They leave.
Kim Junghyun gets behind the wheel of a car. Jackson stops him.
JACKSON
Do not rush. There is another plan. Let's go in a detour. I know where Oliver went.
MIN YOOSON
What is the plan?
JACKSON
Turn the car around. We go the other way. I'll tell you along the way.
The car is leaving.
EXT. HIGHWAY - EVENING
Kim Junghyun's car is driving along a winding mountain road. He is followed by two more police cars. It's getting dark. They include headlights.
Oliver's car travels the same way. His friends follow him in the cars. Including police officers An Seohyun and his partner, Son Jiwon.
IN OLIVER'S CAR
ALICIA
Oliver, stop before it’s too late! All is not lost.
OLIVER
That is none of your business. Shut up.
ALICIA
If this is not my business, what am I doing here? Oliver, what do you even think about?
OLIVER
Sit quietly and do not bother me!
Oliver presses the gas pedal harder and drives. In the distance, he notices police cars with flashing lights and a siren. Keeps going. Oliver is angry.
EXT. HIGHWAY - EVENING
The car in which Jackson, Kim Junghyun and Min Yooson ride, stops. The other two police cars stop, blocking Oliver's path.
Everyone gets out of cars.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Further along the road he will not pass, only if through the air.
MIN YOOSON
Prepare a weapon. Perhaps they are armed.
They all got their weapons and set their sights on the approaching vehicles.
IN THE OLIVER CAR.
OLIVER
What are they up to?
ALICIA
Oliver, stop. You cannot ram all cars. We just break up.
OLIVER
As always, everything is not according to plan! And maybe it's for the best.
Oliver drives another 50 meters and turns the car sharply to the left, into the gorge. Alicia screams. Oliver smiles slightly.
HIGHWAY
Oliver's car breaks through the fence and falls off a cliff. Jackson screams and jumps off a cliff, dissolving into the air. Kim Junghyun and Min Yooson see this. They run closer to the cliff.
KIM JUNGHYUN
What is he doing?!
The car explodes. Everyone who watched it, sharply away from the cliff. The fire rises almost to the edge of the cliff. Oliver's friends panic. The police arrest everyone involved in the abduction of Alicia.
EXT. IN THE GORGE - NIGHT
Fire trucks, ambulance pulled up. At the bottom of the gorge, the police inspect the burned-down Oliver car. Glitter flashlights. Kim Junghyun is calling the cops.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Here! Rather! This is Oliver, he is still alive.
Oliver lies 15 meters from the burned car.
MIN YOOSON
It's impossible. How did he survive? What a mystic.
One of the workers is calling everyone. Kim Junghyun runs up.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Alicia? Are you okay! Wait, you will be taken to the hospital soon.
MIN YOOSON
They survived, but how is it possible. Jackson, look for Jackson. There is a possibility that he, too, is alive!
Alicia and Oliver are raised from the gorge. They are taken away by ambulances. In the light of searchlights and lamps, the search continues. Everyone is looking for the body of Jackson. In the dark, they hear the crackle of tree branches and the curse of Min Yooson.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Min Yooson, are you alright?
MIN YOOSON
Yes ... I have failed a little. The lantern is lost.
KIM JUNGHYUN
I will come to you now.
Min Yooson leans over the lantern. Groped an interesting shape stone. Set in front of his chest. Pulled out a lantern. He works with difficulty. In glimpses of light from a flashing light, he sees a human skull.
KIM JUNGHYUN
(Surprised)
Here is a find.
They reach the remnants of the human skeleton. They carefully pack into expert bag.
INT. THE HOSPITAL - MORNING
Kim Junghyun and Min Yooson enter Oliver's ward. Oliver opens his eyes.
OLIVER
I'm in hell?
KIM JUNGHYUN
Not yet, but a real hell awaits you for at least 50 years.
The nurse changes the droppers for Oliver.
NURSE
The patient needs calm.
MIN YOOSON
There will be time to rest. Oliver Lin, do you remember what happened?
OLIVER
I remember, but you can hardly believe me.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Well, so you try what we believe you.
Oliver looks around, looking at the nurse.
OLIVER
A second before the car crashed to the ground, Jackson appeared in the car...
(Sighed)
He grabbed me and Alicia ... I just remember that, by some miracle, we were far from the explosion of the car ... He teleported us? Then I disconnected.
The nurse looks at the cops with surprise.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Your patient seems to have a temporary and possibly permanent clouding of consciousness. Can you give him a sedative?
OLIVER
This is true! I saw everything myself. Jackson teleported us!
KIM CHONYON
Jackson Moroni? He died more than 25 years ago. Your head is not all right.
Oliver is surprised and upset. He is silent.
EXT. IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE CHEMIE MORONI - DAY
A police car pulls up. Chemie Moroni leaves the house. Kim Junghyun and Min Yooson come to him and give him a folder with documents expertise human remains found in the gorge.
KIM JUNGHYUN
Mr. Chemie Moroni, we found your son ... Sorry to be so late.
Chemie Moroni has tears in her eyes. He is crying. Sits on the porch. Squeezes the paper in his hands.

INT./EXT. HIGHWAY - EVENING
Milword, Elizabeth, and Alicia ride in a car past the old, strange house of Chemie Moroni. Alicia looks at the house. Raises his gaze to the second floor at Jackson's room. For a moment, a silhouette of a person appears in the window.
ALICIA (VO)
Jackson!?
The silhouette disappears. Alicia turns around. Looks out the window again. She sees no one.
The car leaves, drives through the crossed-out sign of the city "Big Dipper".
The end.
