01x03 - Baptized in Blood

Who could ever handle him?

He sucks the memories out

of you just by touching you.

Detective, my daughter went missing.

I felt it while reading her memories.

The love she has for her daughter.

I don't think she just disappeared.

Proof it's a serial m*rder?

They both have dents in their skulls.

It appears they were bound

and struck with a weapon

having a 4-inch diameter multiple times.

In other words, he's a total psycho.

Mobilize the Seoul

Metropolitan Police Agency.

They found the third victim this morning.

- She was still breathing.

- She's still alive.

- Did you see something?

- First, a red pig.

And the other was a hammer.

One that you can hold with one hand.

The Claw Hammer k*ller might

not be involved in this case.

Are you sure? About the red pig, I mean.

I wish I was wrong too.

But this disgusting gut feeling

If you don't pass the doctrine

test, you'll die.

The older girl before you

died because she failed.

It's different. It's a different model.

Scan for that second cell phone.

We located the cell phone.

They're high school kids.

They found the cell phone on the street.

We can ask them to find Bo Yun.

You went there to look for Bo

Yun, didn't you?

(Previously)

No, no.

That's where we lost them.

At the three-way junction.

From this moment on, all available

officers will help search Onha-ri.

The regional investigation unit

sent all available officers

to search this area.

They lost them at the junction.

The regional investigation unit is

starting with the villas in Onha-ri.

Old man, you go ahead.

I need to stop by somewhere.

Where light quickly fades away.

(Previously)

(Previously)

(Previously)

How did you get up there?

I'll go outside and call the police.

Take me with you! Please!

Please take me with you!

Only one overlaps.

About 1.5km away.

That's where we lost them.

At the three-way junction.

Please save my daughter. Please.

Please save my daughter.

(Dong Baek)

Come on. Hurry up.

I'm doing my best.

- Why would you kick the tire?

- Then should I kick you?

Should I kick you instead?

Well, no.

I found the red pig.

- No, wait.

- Get him.

- Beat him down.

- Get him!

- Move.

- Hold on.

This isn't the time

Tase him.

Get him in the van. Load him up!

And here I thought a telepath

would put up more of a fight.

(This is private property.)

(Trespassing and farming

are strictly prohibited.)

From the road to the gate,

the cameras will catch

whoever walks up here.

Anyone who comes and goes

will be caught on camera.

The gates are like a tall fence.

Why is no one around?

A farm of this size should be

occupied by workers during the day.

Could it be a front?

Could this farm be here

to cover up another operation?

I have to be smart.

Now, show yourself.

Don't move.

You there!

Care to talk?

(Memorist: Ep 3, Baptized in Blood)

(32 minutes ago)

He reported you.

- What?

- Silence.

He's the one who reported

you to Internal Affairs.

What are you talking about?

- Hey.

- He reported the bribe you took.

It wasn't me!

The hostess bar owner bribed

you to stop the investigation.

You sell out your colleague

for just 30,000 dollars?

- Shut him up.

- It wasn't me!

I also saw something from him too.

Is betraying colleagues

a trend in your office?

Shut him up!

- You're dead.

- It really wasn't me.

Did you know that he's been

poking at multiple women?

- Shut him up!

- Still, have some decency.

How could you go after

the girlfriend of your youngest teammate?

You idiot, keep your eyes on the road!

Didn't your girlfriend

recently get a designer bag?

This guy gave it to her as a gift.

- You jerk!

- Is this true?

Eyes on the road!

- Tase him!

- Yes, sir.

What? Not him!

You there!

Don't you dare k*ll him.

I need to capture him and read

as many memories as possible.

Are you okay?

Why that

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

- Blessed eternal life.

- Get on your knees.

Blessed eternal life.

Blessed eternal life.

Why that

Why is it so complicated?

What is this place?

There's the jerk. Get him!

You. Get over here. Get over here.

Stay still. Stay still!

You jerk.

(My lovely daughter, I left money

on the table for dinner. Love, Mom.)

(If you don't walk today,

you must run tomorrow.)

(Let's live happily together

for the rest of our lives.)

(Bucket List: Travel abroad with

Mom, take a trip alone)

- Thanks.

- No problem.

(Mortuary)

Let me see my daughter.

Ma'am.

- We're waiting for an autopsy

- Imagine

how long she waited for me.

I can't make her wait any longer.

Ma'am.

You shouldn't see her now

I need to tell her I'm

here and calm her down.

My poor baby.

She must have been so scared.

I'll be honest.

Ye Rim looks really bad right now.

You should remember how he looked before

I need to see my baby's final moment!

Move. Get out of my way.

My daughter. I need to see my

daughter, so get out of my way!

Please calm down.

My baby!

Ma'am.

- Ma'am.

- Hey.

Ma'am - Pick her up.

- Ma'am!

- Put her on my back.

The 30-year-old suspect Han Man Pyeong,

who committed suicide,

appears to have abducted women and

locked them up under his farm

and m*rder*d them.

The underground tunnel is

presumed to have been built

during the Japanese occupation.

The suspect Han appears

to have used the tunnel

- as a hideout

- Yes.

For over 15 years after his parents died.

- I understand.

- There's also a possibility

that there might be other victims.

We've confirmed that there are

at least four m*rder victims.

The only teenage girl who was rescued

got sent to a hospital and

is receiving treatment.

Fortunately, she wasn't severely injured.

And therefore, she will be able to live.

Meanwhile, the police and NFS

mobilized a large-scale forensics team

to check if the assailant

committed any other crimes

other than what we know.

According to the police,

checking for an accomplice is

just part of the investigation process

and that they haven't found

any evidence in particular.

However, due to the severity of this case,

lots of people are paying

attention to the result.

Hello, sir.

Why are you all here?

- We're waiting

- Why exactly are you waiting?

Well

A detailed identification

should be our first priority

- to find an accomplice

- What about the survivor?

Yes, the survivor.

The teenage girl is in shock.

According to her,

she never saw an accomplice.

I waited for you

to ask you for a favor.

- A favor?

- The accomplice

Actually, that person might

even be the main culprit.

The main culprit?

Are you sticking to your

primary profiling data?

That the culprit is most

likely in the upper class?

Han Man Pyeong isn't the type

to make a display of m*rder.

I'm sure the main culprit is someone else.

Let me give you some advice.

That was just your prejudgment.

- Be modest and accept the results.

- That's why I'm modestly

asking you for a favor.

Please do a detailed investigation

to see if there was an accomplice.

I won't ask you for anything else.

I can't help you with that.

You'll have to do it yourself.

But I was removed from my position.

Superintendent Han will

be the vice director

of the special investigations department.

Make her into a star.

Emphasize the fact that she

found the culprit first.

That she found him before Dong Baek.

You will also be in

charge of the briefings.

That's part of your job as the

star who caught the culprit.

Let's go.

Let's go in.

Sir, aren't we going to interrogate him?

Tomorrow morning, he'll be sent

to Seoul Western District

Prosecutors' Office.

But we worked so hard to catch him.

You should either be clever enough

to know what's going

on or at least learn

how to keep your mouth shut.

I'm glad the culprit got caught.

You got really lucky.

People will start talking.

A serial k*ller k*lled himself.

No one will be interested in a sex scandal.

I'll deal with it, sir.

I'll make sure nothing happens

to harm your reputation.

It won't end quietly.

Pardon?

- But the culprit got caught.

- Four girls were m*rder*d.

Normally, the public will

be furious at the culprit.

But this time, it's different.

The culprit no longer exists,

so there's no one to be angry at.

The press will do everything they can

to find someone to blame.

Don't forget

what you need to do to

avoid being the scapegoat.

I'll talk to the press, sir.

Do you see the cover?

- Please check that, too.

- 12 hours until we get the results.

During that time, we need to check

if there was an accomplice or not.

Check every single person

that he's ever contacted

so that we can identify that person

as soon as we get the results.

(National Forensic Service)

(Identification results)

Superintendent Han, here are the results.

We checked for evidence to see

if there was an accomplice.

But we couldn't find anything.

We couldn't find anyone else's

DNA other than Han Man Pyeong,

the culprit who committed suicide.

I heard Detective Dong Baek

was also at the crime scene.

Why was he there?

He was also chasing the culprit.

Were you two working together?

No.

Then who got there first?

I don't think that's important.

- It's not something

- It was Superintendent Han.

She got there first and

apprehended the culprit.

Then can you also explain how

Detective Dong Baek got arrested?

That's irrelevant to this case.

You can ask the prosecution.

She's good.

You're known to be an

extremely gifted profiler.

How did you find the conclusive evidence?

There you go.

I'd like to make it clear that I

didn't solve the case on my own.

But more importantly,

I'd like to express my condolences

to the four victims and their families.

Hurry up and ask her what's important.

The farm was only about 1km away

from where Yoon Ye Rim disappeared.

Why didn't you start out

by searching the farm?

Strike.

- We carried out a thorough search.

- "A thorough search"?

She was right in front of you,

but you wasted time searching elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the culprit was

impulsive with Yoon Ye Rim.

Therefore, it was very hard

to figure out his whereabouts.

Wouldn't you call that a failure?

(Investigation Results Regarding

the Claw Hammer Serial k*ller)

Don't acknowledge that.

Again,

I'd like to express my

heartfelt condolences

- to the victims and their families.

- My goodness.

That weakling.

I'd like to emphasize the fact

that she tried her best

to catch the culprit and

succeeded in saving the survivor.

I heard Detective Dong

Baek gave you a tip-off.

Why didn't you guys work together?

Detective Dong Baek was under suspension.

- But

- You should've worked with him

regardless of whether

or not he was suspended.

Please take turns in asking questions.

You failed to investigate properly.

How will you take responsibility?

Do you plan to give a public apology?

What is the National

Police Agency's plan

to prevent this from happening again?

Please take turns, everyone.

- How will you take responsibility?

- Do you also think you failed?

What's your future plan?

Do you not acknowledge your failure?

Are you aware of what the

victims' families want?

That is all for today's briefing.

We will inform you of

additional information

through another press release.

- Please do not write

- Bravo.

Any speculative articles.

- Sir.

- Sir.

Please maintain order.

Everyone.

(Investigation Results Regarding

the Claw Hammer Serial k*ller)

Tell the chief of the

Intelligence bureau to come in.

Superintendent Han.

HQ just disassembled our team.

They want it done in 72 hours.

(The police are responsible

for the multiple victims.)

(Superintendent Han Sun Mi)

Yes, ma'am.

Did you talk to the survivor?

They won't let me in.

The doctor won't let me enter,

but the guardian is also causing a fuss.

The guardian?

It's because of the hospital bill.

You need to hurry up.

I'll give it a try.

There's not much time

before our team disappears.

You need to talk to her today.

- Okay, I got it.

- You hospitalized her.

Come on.

You're the one who hospitalized her.

You can't deny that.

Aren't I right? Hey, let me go.

There are other patients

here, so please keep it down.

I don't care.

Are you people looking down on me

because my life turned into a

mess due to my crazy daughter?

Is that what you're doing?

No, that's not it. Please calm down.

We're not looking down on you.

Forget it. I know what you're trying to do.

Let me go!

I know you're very upset with me.

Not only did I keep quiet

about our achievements,

but I also acknowledged my mistake.

Just 30 minutes

Actually, if I got there

just 10 minutes earlier,

we could've saved 1 more person.

Therefore, I feel responsible

for Yoon Ye Rim and the other victims.

However, I'm not going

to be hard on myself.

The person who needs to apologize

is the m*rder*r, not the police.

The victims deserve

to see the m*rder*r in handcuffs

instead of people's tears.

Therefore, I'm going to spend

the remaining 72 hours

on doing my best to

find the actual culprit.

But all the evidence keep telling

us that it was Han Man Pyeong.

There's a 51 percent chance

that there was an accomplice.

Han Man Pyeong isn't the

type to show off his m*rder.

What kind of person is the real culprit?

"Charisma"?

A charismatic high-class member of society.

Someone with a high social status?

Han Man Pyeong who had low self-esteem

longed for success.

So if anyone was able to use him,

it would've been someone successful.

Han Man Pyeong is an

accomplice who in this case

was the devil's puppet.

That's the conclusion I came to

from my gathered experience

and knowledge.

Who are we targeting then?

The mastermind

would be the riverside

vacation home complex.

It's 1.5km away from the farm.

By walking through the woods,

the culprit could've reached

there in 15 minutes unnoticed.

The mastermind is in one

of these vacation homes.

I'm seeing a high probability.

Excuse me.

- We'll go about it in two ways.

- When was the owner here?

- I'm not sure.

- First,

find homeowners that

came there on Tuesdays.

Let's go.

Next, no matter how

secluded the woods were,

there would've been a witness.

Question those who reside near the path.

What is it, ma'am?

- Yes?

- I found some land

in Han Man Pyeong's mother's name.

It's halfway up the

mountain like you predicted.

- In the woods?

- Yes.

I'll send you the location on a map.

I think I found it.

(KCSI)

Forensics!

Could this be Han Man Pyeong's hideout?

Han Man Pyeong doesn't smoke.

Then

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Ms. Kang Ji Eun?

(TVC Newsroom, Kang Ji Eun)

Are you sure?

We're still checking,

but it seems to be legit.

Why was it sent to her though?

Whoever it was knew she

was Dong Baek's fan.

Could it be a trap or a hoax?

If we're wrong about this,

we'll be dragging our

bosses through the mud too.

We'll check and double-check.

Sir, two of our competitors

also received the same tip

and are scrambling.

What?

Excuse me, Chief Im.

Could you check your phone?

What is it?

- There he is.

- Here he comes!

- Get ready.

- Here we go.

Do you admit to these charges?

- Is it true?

- Did you abuse power?

Do you admit to these charges?

(Secretary of the Prosecutor General)

So Chief Im of Seoul Northern

District Prosecutors' Office

has been paying money for sexual favors?

That's right.

According to the tip we received,

Chief Im

has been exchanging

sexual favors for money.

What's worse is that his regular partner

was one of the victims in

the Han Man Pyeong case.

So this isn't just some scandalous rumor.

No, it's not. From what we have gathered,

Chief Im deliberately impeded

the m*rder investigation

so that his own crimes

wouldn't be revealed.

Many suspect that the

arrest of Detective Dong

was ordered as part of the cover-up.

So in summary,

Chief Im deliberately impeded

a police investigation

just so that he could

cover up his own crimes

which led to a victim being m*rder*d.

That's right. If this turns out to be true,

members of the court say that Chief Im

will be facing charges

of abuse of authority

and other felonies.

What is the prosecution saying?

You sick psychopath!

- Resign!

- Resign!

You sick psychopath!

- Leave the office.

- Leave the office.

Through their spokesperson,

the prosecutors' office

delivered a basic statement

saying that they are aware

of the severity of this matter

and that they will have

a special team investigate thoroughly.

How dare you mess with the pros.

What about Detective Dong's arrest then?

- His warrant was validated today.

- That's right.

The warrant was issued to bring him

in as a repeat as*ault offender

and is being validated.

Many were assuming that he'd be arrested,

but due to the recent scandal

in the prosecutors' office,

the validation could go either way

and can't be predicted.

Arrest the evil, corrupt prosecutor!

- Arrest him.

- Arrest him.

- There he is.

- Here he comes.

Could you say a few words?

- How was it?

- What happened?

Please say a few words.

What is your opinion on these charges?

- Make way.

- A few words, please!

Just a second, Detective Dong.

Detective Dong!

- Just a few words.

- Please say something.

- Move out of the way.

- Detective Dong!

Let's be glad that you

weren't put in a holding cell.

I agree. Anyway, eat this.

You bought tofu?

No one went to prison, you know.

He almost did.

Should I take you home?

- I have some place to be.

- Where?

We did a full search but found

nothing out of the ordinary.

I have the forensics report.

Someone else's DNA was

found on the cigarette.

- Do we know whose?

- Yes.

His DNA was in our database.

An ex-con by the name of Kwak Hee Joo.

He lives on the riverside of Onsang-ri.

- In a vacation home?

- No,

a remote house in the woods.

A remote house?

(3 Onsang-ri 12 Street)

Get in position.

When will we be able

to talk to Bo Yun then?

She still isn't stable psychologically.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait.

Where are you off to?

Are you running away?

You're the telepath.

What's it to you anyway?

I'm here for a favor.

- Your memories

- I already told the cops.

There wasn't a second man.

Of course. I believe you.

Then get lost.

Your telepathic powers give me the creeps.

It's not your fault.

I just want you to know that.

Know that it's not your fault.

Even if you didn't make the right choices,

it still isn't entirely your fault.

So don't beat yourself up over it.

Then whose fault is it?

I lived as trash after

being raised by trash.

So whose fault is that?

I don't know.

Why must good people suffer?

Why must the innocent die horrible deaths?

What I do know

is that you're too young to be

accountable for your actions.

That accountability

is reserved for grown-ups.

(Identity Report: Kwak Hee Joo)

I guess you saw Han Man

Pyeong often in his cabin.

Once in a while.

- "Once in a while?"

- It's been a while.

I borrowed it since he didn't use it.

What did you two do?

We had tea, talked

And?

- We discussed our faith.

- You little twerp.

Does a man of faith smoke?

That's what Man Pyeong always said.

He was obsessed with his religion

just like everything else.

He got into some strange cult.

You were kicked out many times

from nearby churches and temples

for saying strange things.

Are you a fraud?

Who determines that?

The religious?

Enlightenment is private.

It's a private agreement

between me and the universe.

You are a headache.

Was this that too?

You sexually assaulted them very privately.

You served six months in prison.

There are two counts of

sexual as*ault alone.

I was framed.

They were lies.

He had a very strong conviction.

He was determined to save the world.

I'm very curious.

Forget the world.

I wonder if you can save yourself.

If I had been a little faster.

I heard

that you tried hard.

I'm sorry.

I was going to pick her up,

but I dozed off.

I called her when I woke up,

but she already got off the bus.

I should've gone out at least then.

But my excuse was

that I was tired and had to

leave early in the morning,

and I stayed in bed.

It's all my fault

that happened to my daughter.

She was born to a loser mom

and suffered all her life

and died so pathetically

That's not true.

I really hope there is an afterlife.

Because even if

I can't make it into paradise,

my kind daughter will definitely be there.

We need to get going.

The regional investigation

unit caught the real culprit.

The real culprit?

You suspected there was someone else too.

They got the warrant.

Spill it already.

We got the search warrant,

so we'll find everything.

Your call records, where you've been,

that you hired Han Man Pyeong, everything.

Did you seize the server too?

What server?

- The internet channel.

- What channel?

Didn't you investigate?

Why you You're not making sense.

I did a personal broadcast

for 40 days.

What

He lacks charisma.

Thank you for your service.

What is it?

Didn't you come to say something?

You were

wrong.

It was my fault.

It was all my fault.

What do you mean?

It was my fault

that girl died like that.

Please!

Don't k*ll me.

No!

You asked about my religion.

This is what I always say in response.

My one and only religion

It's true.

He broadcast nonstop for 40 days.

There are only a couple of viewers.

He even broadcast himself sleeping.

What was the longest he went off camera?

Check Tuesday.

- How did it go?

- What about the suspect?

They're checking his alibi.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Hey. Hey. Hey. Stop.

He barged in without permission.

He went to the bathroom after he ate,

but it was always less than 15 minutes.

15 minutes?

That's enough time to go the farm and back.

So he could've k*lled them too.

- That's true.

- No.

The murders are very important

ceremonies to the k*ller.

He wouldn't have rushed

it in a couple of minutes.

Are you saying he isn't

Kwak Hee Joo never had it to begin with.

If you

The charisma to control Han Man Pyeong.

All the viewers in this room

will

be recorded in history as

witnesses to my hardship

a long time from now.

What happens now?

What else? We go home.

Hi, Peanut. Daddy will be home soon.

Hi, Peanut.

Isn't Uncle Baek coming too?

Uncle Baek is going to his home.

I bragged to my friends

that he's sleeping over here.

I like Uncle Baek a lot too,

but I can't spend more than

52 hours a week with him.

Why not?

If I do, all my hair falls out.

His telepathic powers are way too strong.

- Yes. Okay.

- Hurry home.

What about the girl's memories?

What a shame. We didn't even get to chat.

You should go.

No need to apologize. It's the truth.

- What?

- You interrogated the wrong person,

but you don't need to apologize.

No, what did you say after that?

What? The truth?

It was the will of the universe.

- "The truth".

- The death of those girls

was part of it all.

It may seem brutal,

but it was the will of the divine being.

I wasn't even finished.

A telepathic detective?

I knew I'd meet you one day.

That kind of gift isn't

given to just anyone

- Who do they think they are?

- Excuse me.

Where are the kids who were

riding scooters earlier?

What? I never saw them.

What are you doing?

- Something feels weird.

- What?

His actual voice is different from

the voice I heard on his channel.

Maybe it's because of the

microphone and speaker.

He probably spoke with a tone.

The voice was also different

in the survivor's memory.

What are you talking about?

The truth will

They were given doctrine lectures

through a small screen in the room.

And there was a moment when the

lecturer's voice suddenly changed.

Fear is what comes out of

you when an evil spirit

tries to take over your soul.

- Please don't do this!

- Therefore, the truth will

The same lecture was given to

them when each girl was m*rder*d.

But it was different from

the voice on the DVD.

- What?

- He was actually in the room.

I am the only one

- who can save you.

- The guy on the DVD

was there in person.

"The truth".

"The truth".

"The truth".

(Search case files)

"The truth".

"The truth".

Wait.

Did anyone see the word "Truth"?

- Pardon?

- I think I saw it somewhere.

- But I can't find it.

- Then it's not in the database.

Maybe you saw it somewhere else.

(Search case files)

- "The truth".

- The team got dismantled

30 minutes ago.

We'll get going now.

This is it.

(Truth)

That's Kim Seo Kyung when she was little.

(Truth)

"Truth"?

Bong Kook,

I want you to analyze this photo.

What?

- But what about this?

- Okay.

It wasn't this photo.

I'm sure I saw the word "Truth."

What if this is what the

victims had in common?

I found it.

(Truth)

- Kim Seo Kyung's bank account?

- No.

Lee Bo Yun got the

scholarship when she was 10.

Bong Kook, investigate the foundation.

- Seul Bi, let's check the photos.

- Okay.

(Truth)

- "Truth".

- The first victim is on the list.

The second victim also

received the same scholarship.

All four victims received the

scholarship when they were 10.

Truth and Sky Foundation. They own a villa.

It's by the river in Onsang-ri.

Who lives there?

The chairman of the foundation.

You all know him.

- Park Ki Dan.

- "Park Ki Dan"?

(Onsang-ri villa complex)

The famous cult leader?

(Truth and Sky Chapel)

I, Park Ki Dan,

the divine being that has incarnated,

gather the sacred logic of

the universe in my hand

and grant this believer with

the evidence of eternal life

for having accepted me as

the one and only savior.

Eternal life.

- Eternal life.

- Eternal life.

(Memorist)

You scanned his memory

without any permission, right?

A memory scan without a warrant

is a felony that's equivalent

to ill*gal wiretapping.

You deserve to be in the fiery pit!

- Get lost!

- Get lost!

Power comes from money.

And Park Ki Dan is the

richest man in this country.

I'm seriously going to k*ll you.

Courage only comes to you when

you're one with the divine being.

We need to find evidence that

lies in his subconsciousness.

You just wait.

You'll soon end up in the fiery pit.
