OPENING
We open at the end of the last episode where NS and NS3 see each other. They both slow motion look at each other in stunned silence. The taxi drives off.
VO – The same human that looks just like me. The fist time I saw him was 46 minutes and 46 seconds before.
Rewind to the flower shop where the flower person asks if they are twins. NS3 turns around and sees NS, he searches through his database and finds everything about NS
Name: Nam Shin
Age: 28
Family: Grandfather
School: NYC Phd Economics
Job: Entrepreneur, Korea PK Group 3rd Generation, head of future planning
NS3 thinks, Nam Sin? I am also Nam Shin. He thinks for a moment and then see a man with a gun. He searches this man, but there is no data pn him. NS says that protecting life is his first priority so he decided to save him. He follows SG around and sees Nam Shin disguising himself. He sees SG following him.
He sees NS walk up to the booth and grab the white sweater and the hat. So he grabs the same white sweater and hat. then he watches from the crowd and tries to clap along. NS is able to elude SG and walk away so NS3 starts to walk away as well and lure SG away. He unlocks the traffic light as soon as he crosses which keeps the bad guy from crossing.
Then we cut to the moment that NS sees NS3.
VO – Same face, same name, what does that mean? Who are you?
But he gets hit by a car at that moment. Everyone reacts. David and Umma also see the after scene. Umma runs to NS’s side and starts calling his name. This is Umma, umma! NS3 says that he knows that this is the human Nam Shin, this is Umma’s son.
David goes up to SN3, NS3 wanted to give his mother a hug because she is crying, but David tells him not this time, they have to get away this time. He pulls NS3 away.
Umma is left begging for NS to open his eyes, please, please. The ambulance comes.
David and NS3 drive away. NS3 says that he did not give Umma the flowers. David says it is okay, you can give it to her next time. Then he tells David that he saw another human following NS, he had a gun. He shows the video on the car screen.
Cut to the truck driver that ran over NS. He saw NS3 in the rear view mirror and is about to tell this to GS, but GS shoots him before he can get it out. He is dead, dead. Cut to Park driving JG around. He tells GS that he did a good job, come back before anyone notices you. Then he tells JG that the job is done.
YH is driving as well. He drives to NS’s house in CZECH and says that he knows he is there to see his mother. NS3 comes out to talk to YH and asks who he is. YH is all like, um are you really going to do this to me right now? Don’t you know what is happening to our company right now, because of you, GH has dementia!
NS3 touches his shoulder and tells him to calm down, he is not a human. YH is all like, say what?
Then the ambulance gets to the house, David drove it there. They take Nam Shin out of the ambulance and start to wheel him in. Umma sees YH and asks him who he is. David says he knows him, that is Nam Shins secretary, his one and only friend.
Cut to a little while later. YH asks how Nam Shin is. Umma says the bleeding stopped, but they have to wait for the swelling to go down. They don’t know when he will be conscious again. they found the truck driver, but he was already dead by a gun shot. YH is uncomfortable with that, but Nam Shin says she just needs Shin. They have been separated for 20 years. She will take care of him now.
YH tells her, if JG knows what has happened them JG will try to kill him and try to talk over the company, Shin will be in more danger. Umma says he killed her husband and now her son? YH tells her that Shin should go back.But she says there is no way.

Umma thinks they have no tools.
All the while, NS3 sits and listens to David. David says he searched for that guy that followed NS but he has no trace, did you find anything? NS says he did not. David says they need to keep this secret from his mother because she is already having a hard time.
Umma comes in and NS3 asks her how her human is doing. She hesitantly asks him for a request. David wants to know why Dr. Oh is so serious, what is this. Umma seriously asks NS to go to Seoul and protect Shins position. David asks them if they are serious? Are they really going to send him to Seoul?
NS3 says he will do what his Umma tells him. D is frustrated with this and leaves. Umma thanks him and says she is sorry. NS3 hugs her immediately.
NS3 – Don’t be sad (he smiles)
SEOUL
The gate opens to the large mansion. YH looks at it in hesitation. NS3 is sitting next to him in his suit. Everyone waits for them to get out. YH opens the door for NS, he walks up and bows to them all.
YH rolls his eyes and then snaps his fingers. Everything disappears, this was all a simulation. YH tells him that Shin does not bow to employees,.
Why?
it is his personality. Arrogant personality. Raise your head a little bit.
GRANDFATHER SIMULATION
Shin sits next to the chairman in a couch, but he fails because Shin avoids the chairman, he does not talk to him.
JG SIMULATION
JG is his enemy but his fiancé’s father, so he has to greet him at least
YN SIMULATION
YN wants to kiss him, so Shin tries to kiss her, but YH says she is his fiancé, but she is just like a sister to him, so no skinship.
They continue practicing. This time it is about how Shin wears clothing, he doesn’t button his shirt all the way up and he stands to the side. he got it!
They go back through the other simulations. WhenGrandpa comes in, he leaves. When HD comes up to him, he ignores him, when YN wants to cuddle with him, he chuckles and keeps walking. He looks good, really good and he is ready.
YH tells him that he looks like Shin, this is good.

BODY GUARDS
Meanwhile, SB is trying to get a new job but it looks like everyone knows that she was fired from her last job becasue she had a hidden camera on her last client. This guy works for a department store security team, but the team leader does not think she would be a good fit. Maybe she will sell out their VIP members.
Cut to the MMS gyme, SB tells the guys fighting to poke eyes and all the illegal things when the judge is not looking. Her father looks at her like she is clueless and then tells her to come to the back. he tells her that this is her first day at work so why is she there, did she make another mistake, did she take another hidden camera?
SB says she was fired because of that hidden camera stuff and won’t be able to get a job in the future. Appa sarcastically tells her that she did a good job with that hidden camera. She tells him that she isn’t going to do it again! they yell about that. Appa tells her that once you are trash, you are always trash. SB stands up and says she will sue him for hitting her! Then she will get a lot of money!
Appa hits her in the head as well and tells her to sue him so he can go to jail. He walks back to the gym. Inside the little office there area lot of posters os SB up for fighting championships, so it looks like she was a headliner in the MMA world once upon a time.

#4
SB goes out and drinks a lot. She yells at every PK Group item she sees. But she is also on the phone with the reporter and apologizes for that. JO is all like, no need to be sorry, PK Group did everything. She is kneeling down in front of Hongdae, she needs to confess to her, that hidden camera…..NS did it.
What are you talking about
NS did it on purpose to make himself trash. All the money, NS gave it to me.
So he knew that I was taking a hidden camera and pretended like he did not know and hit me? That A-hole! I am going to see PK right now!
Don’t do it!
Hey, Reporter Jo, you are out from my life!
She hangs up and calls the MMa fighter at her gym. She tells them to give her a hand and she will buy them a nice BBQ meal later.
PRESENTATION
The person that did all this work for this automatic driving project was NS, but I am here in his stead because he had an accident. I am PK Groups executive officer, JG. He starts into their presentation about automatic driving cars that drive themselves and give breaks to humans. It is the M car.
The car pulls into the room from the opposite end, so it drives past everyone as if on a runway. Everyone claps from their seats as they watch it. The car is also automatically driving itself to the front. It gets to JG and then spins around on turn table. No one is driving the car. the door opens to show no one there. The back seat opens too.
But then Nam Shin gets out. He smiles as he looks at JG then closes the car door. We see his watch on his wrist. Everyone is stunned to see him, but no one is as stunned as JG.
YH shows up to the tables and tells the sister and Grandfather that nam Shin wanted to show up dramatically.
NS3 scans the audience and gets all their ID’s. then he thanks JG for working in his stead, he tells the audience to applaud for him. then he starts talking to the audience. He tells them that they can do this presentation with him. He is Nam Shin, the executive officer for future planning. He bows to the crowd.
Outside, the MMA guys hold up signs saying that she is not a conartist, stop saying that about her. One of the MMA guys wonders how long they will have tostand there. the other one says he is fine. Her dong-sang bodyguard tells eunnie to stop, if NS comes out then he will be very upset.
SB’s rage pops out, He is inside!

#5
Inside the presentation, NS3 explains everything about the car. You can do everything, even skinship, but you can put the windows in manners mode. Everyone laughs.
JG asks about accidents, what if the car has one. the sister tells him not to ask that! But JG smiles and says they should as it before the reporters do. then he gets up and asks about a motorcycle accident. What if two motorcycles are driving next to it. One has a helmet and the other does not. Which one should you hit?
Someone says the one without the helmet is breaking the law, they shouldn’t punish the one with the helmet.
JG asks what they should do.
NS3 says that is difficult, should they do rock paper scissors? Everyone laughs.
NS says they should change the question, the one with the helmet is 100 and the one without is a teenager. So just because the teenager didn’t abide by the law me and he should die?
Humans decide who to kill. Humans have the position to decide life. Humans, coincidence, and fate….but PK will always be beneficial with humans with their own choices and be an able god. The miracle starts from PK, he dramatic change will start from our M car. (so he doesn’t really answer the question, he just rephrases it and sways it in a nice way).
Grandfather gets up and claps. then everyone follows along with their clapping.
It is a wonderful moment. Until SB yells that Nam Shin is a dog, from the rafters. The aunt recognizes her as the girl that Nam Shin hit at the airport. JG tells her to let Nam Shin take care of it. SB goes all the way to the front and tells him that he asked to take the hidden camera and pretended like he did not know and used violence against her. Are you pretending like you don’t know?
NS3 searches all the information about her.
She says eh had some fault as well, but she is treated like trash everywhere she goes and he was just playing with her. She is not a toy robot that he can play with and throw away. How funny was I to you! How funny was I to not know anything!
She is tearing up.
He walks up to her. She braces herself to be hit again. But he hugs her instead. Halabogi is happy. Everyone else is stunned. NS3 tells her that his rule is that when someone cries, he hugs them.

She hops up and yell that she told them to leave! DO you want me to burn your hand in a Samgyupsal pan!
They run away from her.
SB starts yelling at herself, is he using me to clear his image also! She spins around and sees JO waving at her. She immediately runs up and matrix kicks her right in the face! JO flighs.
PRESENTATION
The reporter says he enjoyed the reconciliation with the violence victim, was it all planned? YH says it was not planned, but he did regret this a lot. Aunt thinks NS is a little strange, he never hugged anyone. JG says he went abroad and matured a bit more. But Halabogi says people don’t change that easily.
the family walks up to NS. Halabogi tells him that he just comes and goes as he wishes, why did he come back early. He should come back for his funeral. NS3 thinks about the information from YH, he should not talk to halanogi. So he ignores him. Then he chuckles and tells his aunt that she pretends like she is a good person in front of grandpa.
JG walks up with a smile and takes NS’s hand. He tells him that he should not argue on this good day. NS winks for a moment, that is a signal of lying. Flashback to Umma telling him this. He has signals for all the biomarks to know when someone is lying. Umma tells him that people lie without showing their facial emotions, don’t be fooled by him.
NS pulls his hand back and tells JG that he is lying, he did not want NS to come back, he has a lie detector.
YH is all like !!!!!!!
But aunt laughs and says he embarrasses people very creatively. Grandfather tells him to watch him mouth. JG chuckles and says that maybe NS hates him for some reason to make a joke like that. YH tells NS that he went too far executive officer.

NS3 nods, sadly.
YH sits and smiles at him, he tells him he did a good job. NS3 is surprised that YH can smile. YH tells him, maybe he is a little relaxed now. He also tells him that YN will be there.
