Kang Seo-hae parts with her father and wakes up to people in gas masks chasing her. Han Tae-sul, engineer and CEO of Quantum and Time, hallucinates his dead brother Tae-san while on a flight. The plane gets hit by an object and begins to crash, which Tae-sul manages to prevent. On his friend and co-CEO Eddie Kim’s insistence, Tae-sul visits a therapist and recalls his last meeting with Tae-san, who had warned him of mysterious beings looking for Tae-sul. The pilot of the flight hands him evidence of what had hit the plane—a suitcase and a man. Tae-sul finds the suitcase, just as Seo-hae tries to alert him not to open it.
