01x15 - Flesh and Blood

[bunniefuu]

(All characters, organizations,

places, and events are fictional.)

(2 years ago)

How is Dong Baek doing?

Is he adjusting well?

Yes, he's been quiet lately.

It hasn't been that long since

he got kicked out of Metro.

Is that so?

Then how about from now on?

- Pardon?

- How do you think he'll behave?

Well, he's known to be very unusual.

- And he does whatever he wants

- He's hard to control, right?

But he's kind at heart,

so with a little bit of help

And what?

The support of the police

will act as a stepping stone

to help him succeed even more.

- Captain Koo.

- Yes, sir?

How about this?

Let's not become someone who supports him.

Let's be the person who receives his help.

- Okay?

- But sir

That will be good

for both the police force

and Dong Baek himself.

Do you understand?

Yes, I understand what you mean.

If that's the case,

make him write a resignation letter.

Let's have him get dismissed

and only use him when we need his power.

He can help solve violent crimes

Detective Dong won't accept that.

From what I heard, he's

always been very fond of you.

I'm also not sure if

that's the right thing

Captain Koo.

There's no right or wrong when

it comes to the organization.

It's just a matter of making a choice.

Let's drink.

Gosh, come on. This isn't fair.

Old Man, I brought some guests.

- My gosh.

- Shut it.

Gosh, that stings.

Is it fun to play detective?

I'm having a blast.

Do you know that people with

power are scared because of you?

Why? Is someone scared

about getting caught?

Those guys lived

comfortably all their lives.

But they might lose

everything because of you.

So of course, they're nervous.

Are you telling me to quit

my job so the bad guys

- can live in peace?

- No, it's not that.

There are lots of other fun things to do.

If you become a celebrity,

you can get all the attention you want.

You can't kick me out.

I'm not trying to kick you out.

I'm not going to quit until you retire.

Because of you,

I even gave up trying to fix my hair loss.

I might die early because of stress.

That hurts. Can you take this off for me?

Come here.

Why are you trying to caress me?

Caress, my foot.

Do it gently. It hurts.

Gosh, it's cold.

Don't try to fight against

those who hate you

and just find what makes you happy.

You can hate me if you want.

No.

Detective Dong.

Catch them!

Sir!

- Sir!

- Darn it.

- No

- Run.

Sir!

- Sir!

- Oh, gosh.

- Sir, are you okay?

- Wake up.

What are you doing? Call 911!

- Are you okay?

- Please hurry up!

- Is this 911?

- I'm okay.

- It doesn't hurt at all.

- Someone got hurt.

Please hurry.

His condition? Just get

here as fast as you can.

Sir!

(Operating Room)

(Restricted Area, Operating Room)

(Officer Oh Se Hoon)

The receiver cannot be reached.

You will be directed to voicemail.

You will be charged after

(The innocent shall be

crucified in place of the sinner.)

(Restricted Area, Operating Room)

He'll be okay.

Dad!

Mom, what are we going to do?

Where is Uncle Baek?

He'll be here.

But right now, he's busy.

What are we going to do?

Se Hoon.

We got paged, so we need to go.

Okay.

Call me once the surgery ends.

The doctor doesn't know yet.

We'll need to wait and see.

We're all cops here. Show some respect.

Is this really necessary?

His life is at risk.

That's enough.

Gosh, that darn old man.

He's so slow. I can't believe

he couldn't dodge that.

It's like he's trying to

make me feel guilty.

This is all because of Dong Baek.

It's not because of him.

I'm the one who volunteered.

Why would you volunteer?

You're about to retire soon.

Do you expect me to sit back

and watch a kid fight by himself?

He's not a normal kid.

Yes, he's not normal.

He's a real pain in the neck.

- My gosh.

- But you see,

he's no different from our kids.

He laughs when he's in a good mood,

and he cries when he's sad.

Then he shouts when he gets angry.

He may be different, but

that's only a small part.

He's a normal human being just like us.

Plus, he can't do anything without me.

My goodness, you're unbelievable.

I'm serious.

- My gosh.

- Baek.

What? Why?

Come on. Let's go inside.

- Sir.

- Hey, it's Dong Baek.

We came to watch your interview.

Gosh, we don't need to watch that.

There it is.

What kind of person is Detective Dong?

He's an amazing young man.

Oh, I see.

How exactly is he amazing?

Well, you can say that

we're like father and son.

We care for each other

like any other family

The medicine I took is making me drowsy.

Goodness.

Father. Father?

What was up with that interview?

- Father, get up and talk to me.

- Just let me rest.

Dad?

Give me back the remote control.

Dad, come on.

(Memorist: Ep 15, Flesh and Blood)

- Dad!

- Honey!

- Honey, open your eyes.

- Dad

Honey, please open your eyes.

- Coming through.

- Wake up, will you?

Open your eyes.

Honey!

He passed out the moment he got here.

Isn't Detective Dong overexerting himself?

He's awake.

Sure, I'll get back to you.

Are you all right?

You should rest a little more.

What about the old man?

The surgery went well but

I can take it, so tell me.

He hasn't gained consciousness.

I'm sure he'll soon wake up though.

You can't. The hospital is

crawling with prosecutors

and officers from the Intelligence bureau.

And Ms. Eun Soo Kyung?

They're looking for her. I just

talked to Superintendent Han.

Detective.

Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.

I'll be in the next room.

Give me some time alone.

Let me go there instead then.

No, you should get some rest.

It might be your last for a while.

Thank you.

Prosecutor Woo Seok Do?

I was hoping to introduce

myself in a formal setting,

but I guess things are too urgent for that.

Could we perhaps have a few words?

Go ahead.

I know you have grave

interest in Detective Dong,

but I'd appreciate you

turning it down a notch.

The prosecution being

interested in a criminal

isn't the NIS's concern.

Detective Dong isn't a criminal.

We'll see about that.

I also know of a criminal.

There's this guy who got a victim k*lled

by trying to cover up a

chief prosecutor's scandal.

I'm just saying since

you're interested in criminals.

It's a pleasure to meet

you, Deputy Chief Lee.

I'm Chief Kim of the NIS.

Ms. Son, what brings you by?

I didn't take you for a coward,

but here you are lying about your identity.

Is this about Dong Baek?

I knew you'd figure it out.

I'm afraid there's nothing I

can help you with though.

Shall we?

This won't go your way.

It won't.

(Chairwoman Hwang Pil Seon)

I'm Prosecutor Woo Seok Do of

the Central Prosecutors' Office.

I was told by the prosecutor

general to help you in any way I can.

The culprit has been identified,

so he'll be put down soon.

- And the brat?

- The same goes for Dong Baek.

But first, there's something

we need to sort out.

It requires a promise

from the prosecutors' office.

- A promise?

- A non-indictment.

Dong Baek's death will

turn the world upside down.

The press will have a field day

and the prosecution will use this chance

to point its swords.

So you need me to guarantee

a non-indictment?

This isn't something I

can decide on my own.

I already cleared it with your boss.

Then why do you need my word too?

Incompetent.

- Sorry?

- Your boss is incompetent.

He shouldn't have let this get

so far, but look at this mess.

It's like we're criminals

discussing our next crime.

- I apologize, ma'am.

- Save it.

So what'll it be?

Do you really want the

prosecution to spend its resources

cleaning up after others?

No, ma'am. That ends right here.

I'll handle the situation myself

so that you never have

to be concerned anymore.

That's the spirit.

I hope you'll keep it that way.

You remind me of

how your boss was six years ago.

Once you lose your drive,

your power and authority disappear with it.

Former Assemblyman Bang Joon Seok,

who was assaulted by Detective Dong,

went back to helping the police

find his wife despite

recommendations from his doctors.

If Detective Dong truly is an accomplice,

then I plead to him.

Please let my wife go.

The police have declared

Detective Dong's as*ault

as an act of terror

and announced that they'd

arrest him immediately.

Detective Dong's as*ault on

Mr. Bang added to the suspicion

of him being the Eraser's accomplice.

The serial k*ller known as the Eraser

made a threat against Detective Dong,

but many suspect that it was a trick

to mask the relationship between them.

Fear is now increasing among the public

Let me attend to your bruise.

What's your relationship with him?

Sorry?

You and Moon Yong g*ng.

I don't think I follow, sir.

Did you think I wouldn't know?

- There's nothing going on.

- Then why

did you visit him at the hospital?

Well

Have you been scheming with him?

Did he offer you money

for helping to k*ll me?

Look at me.

Look at me, darn it.

If you're not working together,

are you two intimate?

We are not.

There's really nothing between us.

I knew from the get-go.

At first, you looked like

you wanted something from me.

Gosh. But you got together

with a lowlife like him.

You're so cheap.

I'll go now.

What a shame.

I would've put you in the pool

of potential second

wives once my wife died.

Keep an eye on her.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

I was just

Just what?

Just Well Thinking?

Should I take a guess?

What are you doing?

You were thinking about me.

Am I wrong?

Yes.

Darn it.

I'm jealous.

I wish I could read

people's memories like you.

It's not good at all.

Why not? I think it would be awesome.

It isn't.

People's memories

aren't as nice as you think.

There are so many

things I wish I never knew.

I'm sure there are some that

you're happy about knowing.

I'm not sure. Were there any?

Here.

Take it out if you need.

All of my memories.

I've been

thinking especially

more about you recently.

Made you smile.

See? Your ability made

at least two people happy.

Baek.

Your ability

may be able to make a

great number of people happy.

Then eventually

the world may change

and become a better place.

Can it

Can it really change?

I'd like to make a statement.

Please don't k*ll me.

Please?

I've already

saved many people.

I know you're a good person.

So please

There's no rule

that says a good person can't become bad.

Rather, I've been too good a person.

So the pain that I've suffered

feels even more unfair.

Things like that

shouldn't happen

to me

and to my baby.

Don't you agree?

20 years ago,

I went abroad to rescue

people after an earthquake.

I suddenly had to rush home.

They said my daughter had died.

But it wasn't a natural death.

I had seen many deaths

during my years as a firefighter.

Even when my wife died,

I wasn't as afraid as I was that day.

They said

she had committed suicide.

However,

that wasn't true.

I wish

I never found out.

Yoo Ah Young?

So Philip?

Darn it. What are you doing here?

I'm taking pictures.

What about you?

My friend owns this land.

All of this

is his.

Bang Joon Seok.

Don't you know him?

That's right. We go to

different schools now.

Darn it. What's wrong with me?

Were you

drinking?

Something much better.

See you later.

Darn it.

You should pay an access fee

for entering someone else's land.

What?

Want a drink?

It'll take you to paradise.

Those jerks trampled on Ah Young.

But that wasn't where their sins ended.

Hey. Look at this.

Here are some more.

Come on.

What is it?

Come on, don't do it.

I asked, what is it?

Moon Yong Dae?

Darn it.

Where's Ah Young?

Why you

Get him!

I can't stand your eyes. They annoy me.

He burned Yong Dae.

And while he was still alive,

he threw him off a cliff.

That day,

two children were k*lled

by your husband, Bang Joon Seok!

My child's friend died that very day,

but my child

Hey.

Detective Lee, what brings you here?

You really need to come to your senses

if you don't want to rot in prison.

My daughter lived.

Both her body and mind

were completely destroyed.

But she didn't die.

(Gynecologist, Jeong Hyeong Sik)

I don't see any signs of resistance.

Ah Young, I believe you.

But some people could

take this the wrong way.

Imagine how sad your

dad will be if he finds out.

Don't you agree?

You know Moon Yong Dae, right?

I'm not supposed to tell you this.

But he died.

He committed suicide.

Remember that place where

you had fun with those guys?

He died nearby.

I wonder if he saw something there.

She survived that day.

But she died inside

every single day.

I also have a child.

If you let me live, I'll

do anything you ask.

But you see,

after having gone

through something like that,

I finally realized something.

I realized that there's no reason

behind our misfortunes.

I heard about what

happened to Captain Koo

and the guy who did it.

Chun Ki Soo

tried to hit me.

Deputy Chief Lee gave permission to sh**t.

He gave permission to sh**t and k*ll.

- Detective Dong.

- What?

Why do you think I'm telling you this?

It's not just the Eraser

that we're fighting against.

You have way too many enemies.

- I know. I'm used to it.

- Don't be.

You need to stay alert.

And there's no need to blame yourself.

If I could have things my

way, I'd keep you off this case.

But you know I won't listen.

Yes, I know. That's

why I'm telling you this.

I'm telling you so you'll watch out.

Are you being considerate?

No, I'm giving you advice

based on the information

I've gathered about you.

So you're giving me advice

out of consideration? That's nice.

I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks a lot.

- Where is Yoo Soon Nam?

- We're trying to trace him.

All we know for now

is that he left the city.

(Situation Room)

(Situation Room)

Hello?

Let me go with you.

No, I need you to stay

and do something for me.

Please do me a favor.

I think I know where Yoo

Soon Nam is. Let's go.

Tell me the specific location.

Yoo Soon Nam's father-in-law

owns a warehouse near the river.

And that's where his car went.

We sent you the address via text.

The SWAT team will be there in 20 minutes.

Okay, thank you.

What's the scoop?

Detective Dong's testimony

regarding the truth

behind the Eraser's murders.

- "Testimony"?

- What if Detective Dong was framed?

- What?

- And what if the murders

were caused by a certain

conglomerate family?

We need to watch it first.

Where is the video?

I'm worried you might get rid of it

so you could destroy Detective Dong.

- Are you kidding me?

- Answer my question first.

Will you release the video

exactly as it is?

Have you lost your mind?

- Ji Eun.

- Yes?

What do you think is most

important to a reporter?

The truth.

The truth is what matters.

And we're all reporters.

That's why we need to tell people

that Detective Dong was framed.

The truth

doesn't come from

outside. It starts from here.

We're the ones who create the truth.

And the truth we need

to create right now

is to make sure that mutant

disappears from this world.

Okay?

Ji Eun, you're still a rookie,

and you don't know much.

We'll give you one more chance.

So stop being so stubborn

and bring us the video clip.

- I can't do that.

- My gosh!

You could go to jail for using

your position to gather information

- and keeping it to yourself.

- You must be mistaken.

I'm the one who just offered

to give you one last chance.

I'll be off now.

Ji Eun!

Ji Eun, wait.

Hey! Your life will be over

once we sue you for compensation

and have you end up in jail!

Ji Eun!

Darn it.

The SWAT team is approaching the place,

but we don't see a hostage anywhere.

You may sh**t and k*ll if

an emergency breaks out.

Yes, sir.

You have permission to sh**t and k*ll.

He's never been this obvious

about his whereabouts.

This isn't the place.

(SWAT)

There's no one at the location.

What on earth?

- Let's go.

- Where?

There's one more place I suspect.

I looked into it and

the professor was right.

It's nearby where Yoo Ah

Young k*lled herself 20 years ago

by carbon monoxide poisoning.

Got it. Text me the address.

Sure.

Should I call for backup too?

Just Metro. Leave the others in the dark.

Got it.

How did you know?

It's the same for most serial K*llers.

m*rder is a ritual to the Eraser as well.

I knew there was a reason

he came all the way here

even though it'd leave a trace.

Right.

Uncle Dong Baek

You see

I know. He's busy, right?

Yes.

Mom said

that he's 10 times busier

because my dad got hurt.

Yes, that's right.

Just so you know, my

dad can't do anything

without you and Uncle

Dong Baek by his side.

Yes, that's right too.

(Ms. Kang Ji Eun)

Just a second.

Detective Oh, I need your help.

It's for Detective Dong.

Of course.

(57H1019)

Where's Eun Soo Kyung?

Darn him.

- She's still alive.

- Let her go.

Take her from me if you can.

Yoo Soon Nam.

What do you achieve by

hurting Eun Soo Kyung anyway?

Detective Dong Baek

and Superintendent Han Sun Mi.

What do you achieve

by saving her life then?

A sense of relief for

saving an innocent life?

A sense of justify that's

more like a mirage?

What are you trying to say?

There was a time when

those were important to me too.

But you see, those emotions

only mean anything for us humans.

Just cut the crap.

People forget too easily.

A police officer who arrested a perp?

A firefighter who saved a life?

How long do you think people remember that?

I doubt it even lasts a day.

So why would you put yourself in danger

for something that'll easily be forgotten?

Isn't it a waste?

No, I'd never think that.

Actually, you've already realized

that your sense of justice can't

change the ways of this world.

The more you try to help,

the more the world will turn against you.

Remove Detective Dong!

HQ just disassembled our team.

This is not acceptable!

This is to humiliate you

in front of the camera

for the whole world to see.

Dong Baek.

Han Sun Mi.

In order to create a better world,

a true leader must emerge.

Her husband, the former assemblyman.

His crude mother who thinks

money can buy everything.

And the parasitic prosecution,

police, and media outlets!

Not those countless scumbags.

Not those animals behind masks,

but a true leader.

A worshiped idol

and the fear that'll be brought upon

anyone who goes against that said hero.

The fear generated by that hero

is what will give birth to true justice.

Eun Soo Kyung

is actually dying an honorable death.

You scumbag

What are you thinking?

Why is he using her to bargain with us?

That's not the only odd thing.

All this time, he avenged Moon Yong Dae

and Yoo Ah Young in the

way they were wronged.

No!

m*rder is a ritual to him.

One that he's obsessed about.

He wouldn't suddenly

change his way of k*lling.

Eun Soo Kyung isn't in there.

Then where could she be?

Should we make our move?

But what if he really is the Eraser?

Sure thing. Go ahead and k*ll Ms. Eun.

I'll follow your ways.

- Do you mean it?

- Yes.

On one condition though.

Before you k*ll her,

I'd like to do a memory scan.

Bang Joon Seok and Hwang Pil

Seon have messed with me too

and I need information

in order to deal with them.

You can do whatever you want afterward.

So what do you say? Do we have a deal?

Did you really think

I'd fall for your trick?

Come on.

If you truly are the Eraser,

you'll incapacitate us

no matter what we do.

Aren't I right?

So open the suitcase. It

doesn't seem too hard to me.

You're not the Eraser.

Take another step

and I'll push her over.

It's fine. She's not in there anyway.

Eun Soo Kyung is in the building!

Tell me. Who's the Eraser?

It's me.

Tell me the truth.

It's me. I'm the Eraser!

- Yoo Soon Nam!

- All that I said to you

was what I heard from him.

I wasn't here today.

It was him

who was here.

You just won't give up.

Remember

what you heard today.

The world cannot improve

using your methods.

And if the world doesn't improve,

you will be nothing but an outsider

who is persecuted forever!

- Chun Ki Soo, drop your g*n!

- Drop it!

Drop your g*n.

No!

Hey.

Baek! Baek! Are you okay?

Darn it. He was shot.

Hurry. Call an ambulance.

We need a medic. There's

a g*nsh*t victim on the roof.

Baek! Wake up!

- Press on the wound!

- Yes, on the roof.

Wake up!

Press on it!

Yes.

The Eraser died. Dong Baek

was shot and is being transported.

- How is he?

- It won't be easy.

- Confirm.

- But

the NIS suddenly showed up.

What should we do?

- Follow them discreetly.

- Yes, sir.

Where?

- Right now?

- Take it down right away, please.

Please. We need it down by this evening.

Oh no.

That's

In this video, Detective

Dong Baek tells us the truth

- regarding the Eraser.

- Hello, Madam Chairman.

I'd like to make a statement.

Based on the memories that I

saw while hunting the Eraser,

it's a story that began long ago.

20 years ago.

The scumbag who trampled on

and k*lled innocent young people,

and the mom who caused the

deaths of their surviving families

in order to hide her child's sins.

They are

the real cause that brought

about Eun Soo Kyung's suffering.

Former assemblyman Bang Joon Seok

and Chairwoman Hwang Pil Seon.

And

Deputy Chief Chun Ki Soo,

who followed their orders

and covered up the crimes,

(Detective Dong Baek's Statement

Regarding the Eraser Case)

and Lee Shin Woong,

the deputy chief of the

National Police Agency.

They bribed many people in

order to cover up the m*rder

and r*pe committed by Bang

Joon Seok and his friends.

They fabricated false testimonies

and disguised a m*rder as a suicide.

Moreover, they said unspeakable

things to the r*pe victim,

who was just a student at the time,

and k*lled the girl

over and over.

Chun Ki Soo, who covered

up the m*rder on their orders,

and Lee Shin Woong,

the deputy chief of the

National Police Agency.

Take down what you

posted online right this instant.

No, I will not.

Ji Eun. Do you think

you'll get away with this?

I have no choice.

The most important thing

for a journalist is the truth.

Hey, Ji Eun!

Nice.

You're super cool.

I'm cool and unemployed.

I should do that too.

To Baek

and to Captain Koo. I should

talk to them like that too.

Call me when you get fired.

Okay.

(Dong Baek's Statement)

Do you think Baek will be okay?

Well, he looks completely

not okay, but still.

He'll be okay.

He has a lot of people rooting for him.

Still, Had I known he went to

the scene, I would've gone too.

He needs someone there to hold him back.

You're worried he'll get hurt, aren't you?

No. In case he beats someone up.

He doesn't get hurt easily.

Even if he does, he gets right up

and yanks out the IV needle and

And

Superintendent Han went

with him, so I'm sure he's fine.

I guess so, right?

What are you doing?

Take that video down right now!

It's on servers in other countries too.

We'll find a way.

Darn it.

Darn it.

Mr. Cho.

What do you think you're doing?

I warned you 20 years ago.

That if you don't get your act together,

you'll rot in jail for

the rest of your life.

Do you think you'll get away with this?

Stop.

We need to fix it first.

It's impossible

to make it like none of it happened.

Nothing is impossible for me.

Not in this country.

Just do as you've always

done. Just follow my orders!

- I make the decisions.

- No.

I'll take care of it using my methods.

This is

no longer just your family's problem.

It's my problem as well.

You're going to cut ties with me

now that the situation isn't in your favor?

Do you think you're the only person

who works for me in this country?

Did you forget

who helped you get this far?

Detective Dong, who fell unconscious

after he got shot 15 days ago,

is known to be in a

very critical situation.

According to his doctors,

Detective Dong still hasn't

regained his consciousness.

And the foreign doctors

who came to treat him

are also very pessimistic

about his recovery.

Are you going to keep

staring at me like that?

Are you okay?

Of course.

Did you think

I wouldn't be okay?

But according to the news

Did they say I'm going to die?

You moved the public.

It looks like there's going

to be a special prosecution

for Hwang Pil Seon and Bang Joon Seok.

But of course, it won't be easy.

Everything will turn out great.

Your testimony played a big role.

What's the matter?

Something suddenly came to mind.

What?

I started to wonder if things

would've come this far

if I didn't end up getting hurt.

I tried so hard to make this happen.

But it's proceeding a lot faster

now that people think I'm about to die.

Do you really think

The more you try to help,

the more the world will turn against you.

You will be nothing but an outsider

who is persecuted forever!

Do you really think I'll be loved

once I disappear from this world?

I couldn't stop thinking

about what he said to me.

You should get some rest.

Stop worrying about

that. It doesn't suit you.

Just focus on recovering

so you can return to work.

Hey.

Hey!

What?

Are you Detective Dong?

(If you want to know the truth,

let's meet where it all started.)

Seo Hui Soo.

I will start by telling you the truth.

Dong Baek.

My little brother.

(Memorist)

This document is about a

person with supernatural powers.

Someone other than Detective Dong.

Trace Detective Dong's location. Hurry.

Tell me everything you know.

How can I believe you?

That's when

I realized something.

That's why you k*lled people

and started taking revenge?

If you think I'm a monster,

just k*ll me. k*ll me!

It's over now.

Shut your mouth and watch.

This is just the beginning.
