EPISODE 15
THE m*rder*r INSIDE ME

Tell me who did it.

Who is it?

The culprit is...

If you let me out,

I'll tell you at the hospital.

Tell me before I k*ll you!

How am I to trust you?

I'm not as foolish
as the serial k*ller or the prison guard

that you managed to manipulate.

Darn it!

Blame this...

on your failure to keep our promise.

I might actually k*ll you.

That would be great too.

You becoming a m*rder*r.

That is what I want, after all.

Prepare the documents needed
to grant me a stay of execution.

Once I get to the hospital using those,

I'll tell you who the culprit is.

You think I'd just take your word for it?

Don't take my word for it.

Trust the evidence instead.

The evidence?

There's an indisputable piece of evidence.

If you wish to see for yourself...

get me out of here.

I can't let him get to me.

I can just look into it myself.

But how?

Right.

PYEONGJIN POLICE STATION

If it was in 1994,
that would be 28 years ago.

We destroyed the files long ago.

It has to be
somewhere in this neighborhood.

Yes.

This is it.

It hasn't changed at all.

How does it still look the same?

"The gorilla read a comic book

right in front of the teacher's desk."

I guess the gorilla likes comic books.

"Then he suddenly
raised his hand up high."

Why did he do that?

"The gorilla said..."

Excuse me.

May I ask you something?

Do you live here?

No.

Are you here to do repair work?

Yes.

Then...

could I get the homeowner's
contact information?

I used to live here when I was a child.

I just have some questions.

I don't have it.

I'm just here do to someone a favor.

Where do I even begin?

My, this is good. That too.
That's delicious too.

My gosh. Everything is so delicious.

All right, this is what I'll sell.

This will do.

DR. SHIN HA-RU

Listen.

This bum is busy
trying to come up with business ideas.

What? A favor?

Wow. You really have no shame.

Thanks to you, I'm a bum right now.

How could you ask me for a favor?

No. No way!

No, I'm not listening.

I can't hear you.

What?

A m*rder case?

So the doctor and wife
described in this article

are your parents?

And you have no memory of that day?

I have a faint memory

of my mom shouting at me to run away.

But I'm not certain.

Can't you ask your aunt for the details?

No.

I feel like she's hiding something,
so I want to look into it myself.

Is there a way to find the detective
who was in charge of the case?

If it was in 1994,
it was before I joined the force.

I don't know anyone from then personally.

Wait.

There is someone who might know.

Here you are.

Thank you, my lifesaver.

Sir.

Yes?

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

The thing is,

the reason Detective Geum
handed in his resignation...

You know why?

Did he tell you?

Yes, well...

I got so frustrated about Yi-na's case,
so I got the phone records...

Sir!

Detective Geum, you're here.

Look who it is.

It's Detective Geum,

who said he'd go hungry
and starve to death.

I have a favor to ask.

What favor? You said you were quitting.

I want to take care of this before I quit.

You once worked
at Seongbuk Police Station, didn't you?

I was.

I was there during my prime years
when I had a full head of hair.

Everyone called me
the DiCaprio of Seongbuk Police.

Listen, by any chance,

did you work on this case?

"Doctor and wife m*rder*d"?

That's right. I remember this case.

Were you in charge of the case?

I wasn't in charge.
I just said I remembered it.

-A different team worked on this case.
-Jeez.

Then do you still keep in touch
with anyone who was on that team?

Let's see. Which team was it?

Was it Captain Park,
who was always chewing on dried pollack?

Or was it Captain Noh,
who liked pork bulgogi?

I can't quite remember.

Try to focus and think, okay?

Focus, focus.

I don't remember.

My goodness!

Yet you remember
the dried pollack and pork bulgogi.

Just wait until you get to my age.

You go to pee, then turn around
and forget that you did.

We don't have time for this.

Should we try hypnosis?

Right.

Hearing you say "hypnosis" reminds me.

Really?

Yes!

How did it go?

Did you get his number?

So you're their son.

I had no idea you grew up to be so famous.

Back then,

your aunt said
she was taking you to the US.

Yes.

She did, right?

That reminds me.
I also met with your aunt recently.

I wonder why she didn't tell me
that you're famous now.

Are you here
for the same reason as your aunt?

Yes.

That professor who k*lled his patients...

What was his name?

Your father's medical school advisor.

You must suspect him too.

That's right.
It's Professor Hwang Dong-woo.

Yes, that's right.

But you see,

I don't think it was him.

Did he have a clear alibi?

Back then and even now,

there is only one person that I suspect.

SHIN JAE-SEONG

Who would do this?

RESEARCH ON THE FUNCTIONS
OF THE BRAIN'S REGULATORY GENES

SHIN JAE-SEONG, KOREA NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

There's no way.

DR. SHIN JI-HYEONG

The number you have dialed...

Back then and even now,

there is only one person that I suspect.

The person who
first reported the incident.

Your father's colleague at the lab.

He had an alibi and didn't have a motive,
so he was ruled out as a suspect.

But I found him the most suspicious.

You see, hypnosis didn't
work on him at all.

It means he was
psychologically resistant to it.

Hey, Ha-ru.

I just met up with the detective.

The detective who was in charge

of my parents' case.

I see.

I'm at your place now.

Come home.

We'll talk when you get here.

All right.

Why did you lie to me?

To...

save you.

You developed aphasia and memory loss.

That's how traumatic it was for you.

Your doctors warned me

that it could
develop into a mental disorder.

They suggested that we replace

your traumatic memory with another memory.

Memory of a car accident.

Once we did that,

you miraculously started speaking again.

You were doing much better.

There was no reason
to reintroduce such painful memories.

That was why.

Okay.

Let's put that aside for now.

The detective said you went to see him

because you suspected Hwang Dong-woo.

Why do you think it was him?

He was your father's advisor.

He's also a m*rder*r
and has tried to approach you.

But I think I was wrong.

This arrived for you.

"Research on the functions
of the brain's regulatory genes."

SHIN JAE-SEONG

Isn't this

Director Park's doctoral dissertation?

How come it has my father's name on it?

Does that mean Director Park...

It seems as though

he stole the dissertation

that your father wrote.

I can't get in touch with him.

I called the university,
but they said he was on leave.

I have a bad feeling.

Does that mean...

that Director Park is the culprit?

I'm not sure.

Whoever sent you this dissertation
with your father's name on it would know.

It has got to be from Hwang Dong-woo.

He could've had a copy
since he was your father's advisor.

Hwang Dong-woo said he had evidence
that pointed to the culprit.

What?

This leaves me with no choice.

I'll have to accept

Hwang Dong-woo's deal.

The tests will be conducted
at Korea National University Hospital.

Thank you.

I'll tell you who the culprit is

once we arrive at the hospital.

I can't have you chewing up
or burning the documents this time, can I?

What's wrong? Did that startle you?

I know everything about you.

I just have one question.

Is Director Park Chi-guk...

the culprit?

Well, I'll see you at the hospital.

I hope the preparations are going well.

JANGWON CORRECTIONS FACILITY

As if I'd just let you go.

Inmate 3901 is entering the hospital room.

Goodness.

I see you're already here.

Of course, you must be curious

-as to who hurt your parents...
-Cut the nonsense.

I'd like a word with him alone.

Sure.

I know you're eager,
but let's sit down first.

The evidence...

is right here.


GANGHWA, INCHEON

HAEANSEO-RO

AUNTIE

Hey.

So? Did he hand over the evidence?

No, he told me where it was.

I'm off to retrieve it.

No way.

Where are you? I'll come.

Forget it. I'll call you when I get there.

But something doesn't seem right.

It could be a trap.

Then I'll gladly get caught in it.

I'm driving. I'll call later.

Where are you? At least tell me where...

Something feels off.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

SEOBU POLICE STATION

Hello, please connect me

to the Neuroscientific Investigation Team.

The number you have dialed is unavailable.

Please try again...

He's not taking our calls either.

What do we do?

Hwang Dong-woo could be messing with him.

Ha-ru is being irrational,
which is very unlike him.

Detective Geum, please help.

Of course.

We should start by tracking his location.

I'll call you once I know where he is.

Sure. Please don't worry too much.

All right.

I think we need
a location trace on Dr. Brain.

Okay.

I'll say there's a risk of suicide.

I'm sure this is the right place.

Where is it?

Why did you tell Ha-ru?

Oh dear.

Do you know you're overly tense right now?

What is it?

Are you afraid I'll tell Ha-ru
that you k*lled them?

Professor!

I know you have
that audio system in your cell.

Are you trying to threaten me?

This old man is languishing behind bars,

and you're threatening
to take away my only joy?

How petty.

Please don't make me...

become any pettier.

Why did you tell Ha-ru?

Oh dear.

Do you know you're overly tense right now?

What is it?

Are you afraid I'll tell Ha-ru
that you k*lled them?

Professor!

I know you have
that audio system in your cell.

Are you trying to threaten me?

This old man is languishing behind bars,

and you're threatening
to take away my only joy?

How petty.

Please don't make me...

become any pettier.

No m*rder weapon was found at the scene.

Based on the wounds,

we suspected that a knife
for mountain hiking had been used.

I'm looking for a way
to salvage your career.

Serve the community for now.

I'll call you back
when things are looking better.

Don't do anything foolish.

No.

I told you everything I know.

No!

Ha-ru!

It wasn't me.

Dr. Hwang set this up!

Why did you do it?

Just so...

you could steal his dissertation?

Fine.

I stole his dissertation,
but your father's m*rder*r...

is Dr. Hwang.

Dr. Hwang k*lled him!

The evidence will tell me...

who k*lled my parents.

This is all a setup!

Cut the nonsense!

Save it for prison.

You're done for.

I'll tell the world your ugly secret.

I told you!

Why won't you believe me?

I said it wasn't me!

You leave me with no choice.

I'm sorry, Ha-ru!

I'll k*ll you!

It wasn't me.

Ha-ru!

Ha-ru.

You just tried to k*ll me.

So you must be the k*ller.

DISSECTING VIOLENCE:
THE PSYCHOPATHIC BRAIN

SECRET OF THE BRAIN HIDDEN BEHIND VIOLENCE

You must understand.

After all, you have the same brain.

You can't overcome your rage.

You're destined to become a m*rder*r.

No!

No, Dr. Brain.

Don't do this.

Please, think rationally

like you always do.

It really wasn't me.

Please!

Try to remember.

It's there in your memory.

You saw it all!

Why did you try to k*ll me then?

I knew that Dr. Hwang had k*lled them,

yet I still looked away.

Is that what you were afraid

would come to light?

Dr. Hwang blackmailed me.

He said he'd forged evidence.

I only came here
to try to get rid of the planted evidence.

Why else would I have come here?

If you k*ll me,

you'd be playing right into his hands.

That's right.

If you do this, you'll become a m*rder*r.

You becoming a m*rder*r.

That is what I want, after all.

Please!

Put that down so we can talk.

Please, Dr. Brain!

This doesn't mean I believe you.

I'll find out for myself.

Wait.

Wait up, Dr. Brain.

You were right to hold back.

Well done.

I held back because I wasn't sure.

At least we know
the k*ller is one or the other.

It's either him or Dr. Hwang.

Where are you going?

I must go

to meet the m*rder*r inside me.

SEOBU POLICE STATION

He wants to use hypnosis
to remember his parents' k*ller?

Apparently, that's the quickest option.

If he was traumatized enough to suffer
from dissociative amnesia,

he'll be in
a defensive psychological state.

It won't be easy to induce
a hypnotic state.

Dr. Shin.

Did you administer the drug?

Yes.

It's a drug that helps induce hypnosis.

-Dr. Brain!
-Dr. Brain.

They don't use this drug much these days.

It could be dangerous.

I'm willing to put
my life on the line for this.

I've only read about cases like yours.
I've never tried this in real life.

The drug will induce hypnosis
without difficulty.

All you have to do
is help extract the memories.

I'm ready.

Let's begin.

Okay.

Let's go.

All right.

You feel very comfortable right now.

Focus on your breathing.

Is it because of the drug?

He's already falling
into a hypnotic state.

It's probably because of
his determination to be hypnotized.

Now, you are entering your brain.

One, two, three.

You will now enter the engram room,
where your memories are stored.

I see the files.

Good.

The moment you take out
the file labeled "October 12, 1994"...

OCTOBER 12, 1994

...the sealed memories are extracted.

What are you doing now?

I'm asleep.

And where are your parents?

In the living room.

What are you talking about?

-Are you really...
-He's on the phone.

-My father...
-Evidence?

How many times
do I have to tell you? I saw it.

He's talking to someone on the phone.

Someone is at the door.

My father is...

talking to someone.

Focus on that person's voice.

Have you heard the voice before?

I'm not sure.

I don't know.

Let's keep going.

What else do you hear?

I hear yelling.

My father...

is fighting with someone.

I hear a scream.

Mom.

No!

Ha-ru, run away.

Hurry!

Hey, kid.

You should go too.

Hey, kid.

Kid.

Kid, open up!

That man...

He's banging

on the car window.

As he's banging on the car window,

freeze the scene.

Then zoom in on his face.

One, two, three.

Do you see his face?

I can't look at him.

I think we should stop.

He looks pale.

He hasn't seen the k*ller's face yet.

Let's keep going a little longer.

You are safe. Don't worry.

He can't hurt you.

Don't be afraid. All right.

When I count to three,

his face will come into clear view.

One, two...

What does he look like?

What is he wearing?

I can't...

I can't open my eyes.

You'll open your eyes
when you hear me tap on the desk.

One, two, three.

Now, do you see his face?

Did he pass out?

We should stop here. Wake him up.

This is all the more dangerous
because of the drug.

All right.

On the count of three,

you will wake from the hypnotic state.

One.

You feel strength returning to your body
and regain mental clarity.

Two.

You feel better and more comfortable
as you wake up gradually.

Three.

Open your eyes wide and wake up.

On the count of three,
you will emerge from your memories.

One, two, three.

When I count from three again,
you'll break out of the hypnosis.

Three, two, one.

Why is he crying?

Is it because of the drug?

Should we call the paramedics?

I don't think

he wants to come out
of the hypnotic state.

Dr. Shin.

Dr. Shin?

Could it be a side effect of the drug?

Or could he be paralyzed by fear?

I'm not sure.

He doesn't want to wake up.

Ha-ru, you should go.

No.

I want to stay here with you.

Go and tell them.

Tell them who the culprit is.

No.

Take slow breaths.

Dr. Shin, you are safe.

Keep breathing.

Are you all right?

Dr. Brain.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Did you see

the culprit's face?

I did.

The culprit is...

Hey, kid.

Hey, kid.

Hey, kid.

Kid.

It was Hwang Dong-woo.

Jae-seong.

I'm pleading with you.

Must you blow this out of proportion?

Professor,

you m*rder*d a patient.

Do you really expect me

to stand by and do nothing?

I'll plead with you

one last time.

Just let it slide.

I can't.

This isn't a matter of pleading.

Then...

I guess I'll have to take action.

I'm glad

I let him live that day.

If I hadn't,

I wouldn't be able to
enjoy this game today.

Wait.

He played us all.

I heard you. Just calm down for a second.

We should come up with a plan.

You had a hard time in there.
You need to rest.

You're in no condition to drive.

Detective Geum will drive.

I'll go with him.

You were up all night, so get some rest.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Something is bound to happen.

The tracker shows Hwang Dong-woo
is currently at the hospital.

You managed to plant
a tracker on him amid all that?

You're unbelievable, Dr. Brain.

Are you all right though?

You had a hard time
waking up from hypnosis earlier.

Was it a side effect of the drug?

No, it wasn't.

I didn't want to wake up.

Why not?

Because my parents were there.

Come on.

Why are you doing this?

I might start crying.

I'm the one who should be crying.

I saw my parents
for the first time in 28 years.

Darn it.

You're making me sad.

I'll teach that punk a lesson.

I'll teach that lesson myself,
so you just...

Huh?

Why is he on the move?

This is more than just a few steps.

I should confirm his location.

Call the hospital for me.

Check if Hwang Dong-woo
is in the hospital room.

He hasn't moved, sir.
I've been outside the door all night.

His tracker shows he's on the move.

Check again.

Yes, sir.

Gosh.

it's not like the old man
could've jumped out the window.

What the...

He's not here. He's escaped!

He must've escaped through the window.

It's urgent. Inmate 3901 has escaped.

Locate him and request police backup.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Security footage suggests
he left in a car. We're tracking him.

Got it. We're on our way.

We should go after him too.

Got it.

Inmate 3901 is on the run
in a black sedan.

Plate number 25N 1567.

It's headed for Sacheo-dong.

We're almost on his tail.

He's slowing down.

Huh?

CAR WASH

Why is he suddenly getting his car washed?

-That's weird.
-It says he's still inside.

GAS STATION

We ask for your cooperation, sir.

Darn it.

Get out!

Get out before I break down the door!

What's the matter?

Is this your jacket?

Well, the truth is...

I stole it.

Don't lie. You're in on it, aren't you?

What are you talking about?

No, Dr. Brain.

He's a thief. Take it from here.

You're under arrest for theft.

You have the right to a lawyer,
and you have the right to remain silent.

He's definitely working with Dr. Hwang.

I know.

Let's look into it.

Darn it.

He did steal it.

We caught him leaving
after taking the jacket.

Hwang Dong-woo walked off
without even trying to avoid the cameras.

He sent us on a wild goose chase
and walked out leisurely.

But he didn't meet up with the thief.

He met this man here.

He has another accomplice?

He got in this man's car and disappeared.

The police said they'll track him down.

I know I've seen him before.

May I ask you something?

Are you here to do repair work?

Yes.

I'm just here do to someone a favor.

I remember.

I know where Hwang Dong-woo went.

Wait.

Dr. Brain, where are you going?

-Thanks a lot.
-Sure.

You're saying the man
came out of this house?

I'm positive.

Hwang Dong-woo!

Stop right there!

Darn it.

Let's see.

Should we break down the door?

You're a detective.
You can't even get this open?

You bet I can.

This will do.

But without a warrant,
I'd be breaking and entering.

If you're scared,
hand that over and get out of here.

I am scared,
but I don't want to get out of here.

It's exactly the same.

How could that be?

I believe we sold it in a hurry
before moving to the US.

Then does that mean

Hwang Dong-woo bought the house?

The house where he committed m*rder?

He probably rejoiced
as he relived that moment.

He's a real psychopathic one, isn't he?

What's wrong?

It's a gas leak. Get out.

No.

What is this?

What do you think you're doing?

All right.

We will now

begin a game.

An empathy game.

A game to turn Dr. Shin

into a m*rder*r.

"Empathize"?

With Dr. Brain?

Something must've happened.

Let's trace their location.

-And what if we can't empathize?
-You'll become murderers.

Yi-na!

If you want me dead, just k*ll me!

An arched window?

I'm sorry...

for having a brain like mine.

Yi-na!

Dr. Brain is different from you.

That's a great idea.

You're responsible for their deaths.

No.
