Memorist Episode 3
Memorist
Previous episodes: Who can handle that? A psychic who totally suctions memories with just a brush of skin.
Detective! My daughter's gone missing.
If I can read the memory, I can experience it.
A mom's heart. I don't think it's a simple disappearance.
- What's the basis of believing they are serial murders? - Both skulls had dents in them.
It looks like they were struck by an unknown blunt instrument approximately 4 cm in diameter.
Several times.
So he isn't any ordinary psycho, then. You operate the Seoul Metropolitan Investigation Unit (MIU).
The third victim was discovered this morning. Still just breathing.
In a comatose state, but they are still alive.
- Did you see something, - First one, a red pig.
And another one, a hammer. The one that fits in one hand, like a claw hammer.
There isn't any evidence it is linked to the claw hammer.
Are you sure about the red pig?
I also wish this dirty guess was wrong.
If you fail at the doctrine test, you will die.
The Unni who was caught first was also ...
The models of the phones are different versions.
Trace the number of that second phone.
We found the phone's signal.
They are high schoolers. They found the phone on the street.
We can just ask them to find her. Bo Yeon—
So you went to look for her. For Bo Yeon.
No, no no!
We lost them there, at the three-way intersection.
As of now, all available personnel are to be mobilized for the search of Onha-ri.
The MIU has issued a full mobilization order to search the town here.
They said they lost them at the three-way intersection, and people from the MIU are searching the villas in Onha-ri.
Old man. Go there first.
I have to stop by somewhere.
The side where the headlights disappear the quickest.
Onha-ri / Onsang-ri.
How did you go up there?
Shh. I'll go out quick and report it.
Take me as well, quick. Take me with you.
They overlap on one spot only.
A 1.5 kilometer distance.

We lost them there.
At the three-way intersection.
Please save her. Please save my daughter.
Dong Baek Hyungnim
Quick, do it quick.
I am doing it. Why do you kick the tire!
Then should I hit you? Do you want a kick?
That's not it!
I found it, the red pig.
Get him!
- All of you move! - Wait.
This is not the time to be like this!
Fry him!
Load him in. Quick, quick, load him.
Put him in.
This scum. Why is he so uninteresting, this psychic detective?

there are surveillance cameras placed to expose trespassers.
They can verify everyone who comes in and out, without exception.
A high fence and high door.
Why isn't there anyone?
It's a large livestock farm, in the middle of the day, but there isn't even one worker.
A camouflage?
Disguised as a livestock farm for another purpose.
This won't work.
You can come out now.
Don't move.
Hey!
Shall we talk a bit?

Episode 3: Baptism of Blood
Thirty-Two minutes ago.
- You sent the anonymous report. - What?
Keep your mouth shut, please.
This guy is the one who sent the anonymous report on you to internal affairs.
Shoot, What are you talking about?
I'm telling you he's the one who told on you for taking bribes.
I-I-It really wasn't me.
The sponsor of the hostess bar fed you some money to stop the investigation. You stabbed your senior in the back for only $3,000.
- Don't let him open his mouth. - I swear it wasn't me.
I saw something from him that I shouldn't have seen. I guess it's a popular thing these days to stab your family members in the back.
I said to muffle him!
- You'll get it later. - It really wasn't me, I'm telling you!
Do you know that this guy likes to dart and flit everywhere because he's a man?
- Shut him up! - You shouldn't do that, man...
You did something with the girlfriend of the youngest member here. Her name is officer Im Na Yeong
Eyes forward, punk!
Na Yeong has a brand name purse now, right? He's the one who gave it to her for a cheap price.
- You little punk! - Is it for real?!
Eyes forward, Punk!
Rip this guy apart!
Hey!
Sir!
Don't kill him, no matter what.
I have to get hold him and try to read as much memory as I can.
Are you okay?
Bless me with eternal life.
Suffering is a blessing. Eternal life.
Suffering is a blessing. Eternal life. Suffering is a blessing. Eternal life.
Suffering is a blessing. Eternal life.
Get on your knees.
Suffering is a blessing. Eternal life.
Suffering will bless you with eternal life.
Why is it so intricate in here?
What the heck is this?
He's over there, get him!
Come here.
Let go.
Stay where you are!
Good work.
Let me see my daughter.
Madam, there is the autopsy procedure, it's a bit—
She must have been waiting for so long.
I can't make her wait any longer.
Madam. It would be better for you not to see her.
I should comfort her, tell her that I'm here.
My poor child.
How scared must she have been.
I will tell you honestly.
Ye Rim's appearance at the moment is very bad.
It would be better for you to remember her good appearance.
No one other than me can close my child's eyes!
Out of the way. All of you move. Move so that I can see my daughter!
Madam, calm down.
Madam!
Madam?
It appears that Han Man Pyeong, the primary suspect who committed suicide, is a man in his thirties
who kidnapped and confined women in his farm's underground tunnel
and then murdered them.
This underground tunnel is assumed to have been built during the Japanese colonial era for military purposes.
Suspect Mr. Han has been using it for over fifteen years since his parents' passing.
- Yes. - using this underground as his own hideout.
- Understood. - Considering the possibilities of additional crimes, this is no small situation. Deputy Department Head Lee Sin Woong
At present, the number of murder victims have been confirmed to be at least four.
The only female student saved is receiving treatment after having been transferred to a hospital. [At least four victims in the claw hammer serial murder]
Fortunately, her injuries are minor and we were told her life was not in danger.
Meanwhile, the police and forensic services placed a large scale joint surveillance team,
for a detailed analysis of whether there might have been additional crimes other than what was discovered.
The police say that the investigation for an accomplice is only out of procedure and there are no specific circumstances.
However, seeing that this is a case with a rather big impact, there is a strong interest in the results.
Good evening, Sir.
Why are all of you here?
Ah, to finish the identification—
- Why? - That is ...
To find the culprit, accurate identification is the priority—
- What about the survivor? - Yes, the survivor.
The student is in a state of panic, but for now, she said that she did not see any accomplice.
We were waiting. To make a request to you.
- A request? - The accomplice— No.
It could even be the main culprit, but there is someone else.
Main culprit? Are you saying that your first profiling might be valid? About the culprit being from the upper class?
Han Nam Pyeong is not the type to show off murder. There is another main culprit, for sure.
I will give you some advice. Conjecture is only conjecture. In advance of results, with modesty—
That is why I am making this request. With modesty.
Please look closely into the possibility of an accomplice.
It is my last request.
I cannot grant it to you.
Because you have to do it yourself, Senior Superintendent Han.
But I was relieved of my duties—
Han Seon Mi is newly appointed as vice director of the special unit.
Make Han Seon Mi into a star. Highlight that she's the one who caught the culprit,
and that she was one step ahead of Dong Baek.
You are also in charge of the investigation briefing. This is the share of the protagonist who caught the criminal.
- Come on. - Be careful.
We don't do the questioning?
We'll transfer him to the Western Prosecutors' Office in the morning.
But we went through the trouble of catching him.
Do at least one of the two:
either have some sense or keep your lips sealed.
It's a relief that the culprit was caught just in time.
- We were blessed by Heaven's grace. - Won't it get noisy?
A serial murderer committed suicide, so who would be interested in some sex scandal?
I will put my life on the line and take care of it.
I'll make sure there isn't a drop of mud falling on your shoes, Chief Prosecutor.
This won't end quietly.
Pardon? But we even caught the culprit.
Four women died.
If it were as it usually is, anger would be directed at the culprit. But this time is different
since the target of the anger has disappeared.
The media will look for prey with fire in their eyes.
Keep it in mind. The way to avoid becoming the sacrificial lamb.
I will massage the reporters well.
There's a pad up there. Yes, there.
It takes twelve hours for the identification results to come out. During this time, the goal of the investigation is to confirm the existence of an accomplice.
Thoroughly comb through every place of contact so that we can verify as soon as the results come out.
Senior Superintendent, the identification results came out.
Anything which gives rise to the possibility of an accomplice
has not been found.
Other than Han Nam Pyeong, who committed suicide, there was no other suspect's DNA.
Detective Dong Baek was also at the scene at the time. What was the reason?
He was pursuing the culprit.
Were you cooperating then?
We were not.
Then who entered the scene first?
As this is a minor aspect, I do not think there is the need to answer—
It was Senior Superintendent Han Seon Mi. She was first to enter, and first to apprehend as well.
Then could you tell us about the situation where Detective Dong Baek was arrested at the time?
As this is irrelevant to the present case, please inquire with the prosecution on this matter.
As expected of Professor Han.
You are widely known as a genius profiler. How did you secure the decisive lead?
Good.
I have absolutely not solved this on my own.
And more than that, I would like to send my sincere condolences to the four victims and the bereaved families.
What are they doing? They should start.
Yoon Ye Rim's place of disappearance is only a little over one kilometer away from the farm,
but why didn't you search there from the start?
Strike!
We have conducted a sufficiently ample search.
Sufficiently? When you only probed in the wrong places, leaving out what was in front of your nose?
Unfortunately, regarding Yoon Ye Rim, because it was a crime of opportunity
it was truly difficult to infer the culprit's movements.
Isn't that a failure of investigation?
Don't admit it.
As I've said before, I am sorry,
and offer my sincere condolences to the victims and their families.
That tender-hearted kid.
I remind you that the investigation team did their best to apprehend the criminal
and we rescued the survivor.
We know that Detective Dong Baek informed you, so why didn't he participate with the Metropolitan Investigation Unit?
He was suspended at the time. Only—
It wasn't the suspension. Even if he were in jail he should have been involved.
We will accept questions one at a time.
How are you going to take responsibility for the fact that the number of victims increased due to the investigation's failure?
Are you going to make a formal apology?
What is the National Police Agency doing to prevent a recurrence?
Reporters, let's take one question at a time.
Have you even acknowledged that you failed?
Who is responsible for the failure?
What do you plan for the future?
Can't you admit that the investigation failed?
Do you know what the bereaved families need?
That will be the end of today's briefing. In the future, we will inform you
- in a follow up press release for any status changes. - Bravo.
Please refrain from speculation.
- Senior Superintendant! - Senior Superintendant!
Everyone be orderly! Be orderly!
Hey, Reporters!
Announcement of the Hammer Serial Murder Case Investigation
Tell the chief of intelligence to come in.
Senior Superintendant!
The administration has ordered us to disband the investigation office.
In the next 72 hours.
Yes, Senior Superintendant.
Have you interviewed the survivor?
Well, I've been continuously prevented from doing that. The doctor was okay with it, but the guardian is throwing a fit.
The guardian?
It's because of the hospital bill.
Move forward with them as fast as you can.
I will try.
We don't have much time left before our office is dismantled. I heard we have to have an in-person meeting today.
- Yes. I understand. - No, was all of this necessary? Huh?
How could you admit her to a single room?
Let go off me.
There are other patients. Could you speak more softly?
Never mind. What are you doing?
Are you disrespecting me because my crazy daughter had the bad luck of having an incompetent mother?
- Calm down, Ma'am. - Is that the way it is now?
That's not what I said. Please calm down.
Never mind. Let go of me.
I know you are very dissatisfied with me.
Far from being praised, we are in a state where we can only acknowledge our responsibility.
If we had only been 30 minutes, no,
been ten minutes earlier, we would have rescued one more.
So I feel responsible
for Yoon Ye Rim and the other unfair deaths.
However, I'm not someone who engages in berating myself.
The police should not apologize to victims. The murderer should.
We don't present cheap tears to the victim's funeral portrait, but the sight of the handcuffed criminal.
So for the remaining 72 hours, we are going to do everything we can to capture the real culprit.
But all the data we have suggests that Han Man Pyeong is a solo perpetrator.
There is a 51% chance there is an accomplice
because Han Man Pyeong is not the type to flaunt murder in this manner.
What type is the real culprit?
Charisma
Charisma?
An upper-class person with charisma.
Upper class?
Suffering from a lack of self-esteem, Han Man Pyeong was yearning for success to an extreme.
If there is a major culprit ordering him, it is definitely a very successful person.
All of my knowledge and experience led me to conclude that Han Man Pyeong is indeed
a typical accomplice, the devil's puppet suffering from an inferiority complex.
Excuse me. What is the target of the investigation?
The place where the real culprit is located is a riverside townhouse complex.
If he used the mountain road for 1.5 km, getting there in 15 minutes without being noticed,
the real culprit is in this 80 unit townhouse complex,
with a very high probability.
Excuse me.
- Let's conduct the investigation in two directions. - Has the owner been here recently?
- First. - I haven't seen him.
Let's look for owners who were present at the townhouses every Tuesday.
Let's go.
Second. No matter how hard the culprit tries to avoid scrutiny, there will be witnesses.
Concentrate on the paths in the forest.
Is there something wrong?
- Yes. - I found a plot of land in the name of Han Man Pyeong's dead mother.
It's halfway down the mountain road you mentioned.
- On the summit road? - Yes.
- I will mark it and send it to you. - I think I know it.
Forensics!
Is this Han Man Pyeong's hideout?
He doesn't smoke.
Then?
Reporter Kang Ji Eun TVC Reporting Team 2
- Here it is. - Thank you.
Reporter Kang Ji Eun.
Reporter Kang Ji Eun TVC Reporting Team 2
Did you confirm it?
I'm in the middle of cross-checking, but so far it is accurate.
Why would they send it to her?
Maybe they knew she was a Dong Baek fan.
Could it possibly be a trap?
If this is a false report, from the general director to the president up there, everyone will be blamed.
I will double and triple-check thoroughly.
General Manager, I heard that two competitors are being turned upside down
by the same report.
What's going on!
Chief Prosecutor. You should check your phone.
What is it?
- He's here! - He's arrived!
He's here.
Do you acknowledge the reported charges?
Is it the truth?
Please say a few words on the matter!
Prosecutor General's Secretary Office
So Northern District's Chief Prosecutor Im Joong Yeon has been receiving sexual bribery, is that so?
That is so. According to what was reported, District Attorney Im Joong Yeon,
has been regularly receiving these illegal sexual favors. [Sensation: Northern District's Chief Prosecutor Im Joon Yeong's sexual bribery]
And it is claimed that the female party in this matter was one of the victims in Han Man Pyeong's case.
That means this is not on the level of a simple scandal.
That's exactly right.
According to what has been confirmed, in order to cover up his own scandal,
Chief Prosecutor Im has actively hindered the investigation of the serial murders case.
And in this situation, there is suspicion
that the excessive arrest of Detective Dong Baek had the same goal.
If we summarize, Chief Prosecutor Im bears the terrible charges of having hindered the police's investigation
in order to conceal his sex scandal, and with this, caused an increase in the number of innocent victims.
Yes. In case of this report being the truth,
a number of criminal charges could apply to Chief Prosecutor Im, including that of abuse of authority.
This is the general viewpoint of the law.
How has the reaction been on the prosecution's side?
We oppose! We oppose!
The prosecutor's office has stated through a spokesperson that they are regarding the situation gravely.
And they have expressed their fundamental position saying they will review all suspicions through a special prosecutor..
How dare you use your skill in front of a pro?
What happened to Detective Dong Baek's case? There was an evaluation of the basis of the warrant today, is that right?
Yes. His arrest warrant for habitual assault is currently being evaluated.
Overall, detention was expected, [Results fo Detective Dong Baek's warrant evaluation?]
but the media's attitude is changing due to this large scale scandal in the prosecution.
At present, the situation appears to be that we cannot
easily predict the results.
Imprison the prosecutor agent of Satan!
Imprison him! Imprison him! Imprison him!
He's out!
What do you think about recent events?
What are your thoughts?
Please tell us your thoughts.
What are you thoughts on the matter?
Please say a few words!
What is your opinion on the matter?
Please say a few words!
Please give your thoughts on the matter!
Know your luck. What with indictment without detention! Dammit.
I know, right. Eat this while it's hot.
Why tofu? Did someone get out of prison? TN: Fresh tofu is traditionally the first thing eaten by someone coming out of prison.
He had his foot on the threshold.
You'll go home, right?
I have to drop by somewhere.
Where?
We've finished searching the area, there is nothing unusual.
The identification results are out.
Other DNA was discovered on a cigarette stub.
- Identity? - I got it.
There is something matching from the database on ex-convicts, the name is Kwak Hui Joo.
His residence is in Onsang-ri riverside.
- A townhouse? - No.
An isolated house on the nearby mountain.
An isolated house?
Everyone, enter.
Then when will we be able to talk with Miss Bo Yeon?
Her mental state at the moment is very unstable so you will have to wait a bit to talk to her.
Where are you going?
Are you running away?
Psychic.
What's it to you?
I have a request. It might be hard, but your memories—
I already said it.
That I never saw any accomplice.
Alright. I believe you.
If you got it, then get lost. Psychic or whatever, it sucks anyway.
It's not your fault.
I wish you would understand this. That it's not your fault.
Even if you couldn't make the right choice,
it just isn't your fault, so don't beat yourself up.
Then whose fault is it?
To have grown up into an even bigger scumbag under scumbag parents.
Whose fault is it?
I don't know either.
I don't know why kind people are unfortunate, or why innocent people have to die miserably.
But you are not at the age where you should take entire responsibility for a mistake, yet.
You can do that after becoming an adult. It will be more than enough.
Personal details report
Did you meet often at Han Man Pyeong's cabin?
Sometimes.
- Sometimes? - It's been a really long time.
I borrowed it since he wasn't using it.
What did you do, the two of you?
Drink tea. Chat.
What else!
Have debates on faith, too.
This buffoon, you're really asking for it!
Does a believer of faith smoke, too?
You say the same thing as Man Pyeong.
He was narrow-minded about religion, just like his personality. And he was stuck in some weird cult.
You were the one who was kicked out of the neighborhood's churches and temples several times, I heard.
And that you were telling bizarre tales.
Isn't that a cult?
Who defines it? These greasy religious people?
Enlightenment is a private thing.
It is a private union between me and the entire universe.
I'm going crazy, what bullshit.
Is that what this is, too?
You committed sexual assault in a very private way. A six-month jail sentence
and two cases just for sexual crimes.
All this is slander. It's blackmail.
You really are a man with strong confidence.
- Confidence in saving the world. - Maitreya? I'm really curious
whether you can save yourself, let alone the world.
If only I had been a bit faster.
I heard that you tried your hardest.
I'm sorry.
I was going to go pick her up.
But I fell asleep.
I woke up suddenly and called her.
But she had already gotten off the bus.
I should have gone out, even then.
But saying I was tired,
using the excuse that I was going out at dawn,
I just stayed lying down.
That this happened to my daughter,
all of it is my wrongdoing.
Because she met a bad mother,
she had a lot of hardships,
and like this, pitifully...
That's not true.
I hope there is a paradise.
Even though I can't go there, my kind daughter
will surely go there.
Dong Baek, we have to go. Now.
They say the MIU caught the real culprit and is grilling him.
The real culprit?
You also suspected that there was another culprit.
The warrant arrived.
Now pour it out.
The search and seizure warrant arrived, so everything will come out now.
Your phone records, your itineraries, even how you instigated Han Man Pyeong. Everything.
Did you also do a search and seizure on the server?
What server?
Internet broadcast.
What internet?
- You haven't even investigated? - Hey, you ...
Say it so we can understand!
I did a personal broadcast, you see. For forty days.
What?
He doesn't have it. The charisma.
Salute! Thank you for your hard work.
What is it?
Didn't you come because you had something to say?
You were wrong. About that.
It's my responsibility.
Everything is because of me.
What is?
It's all my fault that that Unni died like this.
Take me with you!
All my believers of faith ask me.
But I always answer this since it is my one and only religion.
It's true. He did a broadcast for forty days, nonstop.
At best, there are only a few new viewers, though.
There's even the part when he's sleeping.
- When did he disappear from the screen for the longest time? - Check for Tuesday first.
- How did it go? - What about the suspect?
They're checking his alibi.
Why did you come here? Hey hey hey! Stop!
He entered without permission.
He did go eat and went to the bathroom, but it was always no more than fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes?
In that time, it's possible to go to the farm and come back. Wouldn't it be fully possible to murder someone too?
- Well, that's right. - No.
Murder is a very important ritual for the culprit. He wouldn't end it in one or two minutes.
Then that means he isn't the real culprit ...
From the beginning, Kwak Hui Joo didn't have it.
The charisma to move Han Man Pyeong.
The very few viewers in this room,
in a far away future,
they will be recorded as historical witnesses
to my sufferings.
- What will happen now? - What will happen? We'll get off work, that is what.
My baby, Dad will be there soon.
Hi, baby!
Is Uncle Dong Baek not coming with you?
Uncle Dong Baek is going to his own home.
But I bragged to the others that he would sleep at my house.
Dad also likes Uncle Dong Baek very much, but we can't be together over fifty-two hours a week.
Why?
If we're together, Dad's hair will all fall out.
Because he is such an amazing psychic. Yes.
- Come quick. - Yes, I will.
What about the student's memories?
It's a pity that we haven't been able to talk.
You can go.
You don't have to apologize since it's all the truth..
- What? - About catching an innocent person. You don't have to apologize.
No. What you said after that.
What? Truth?
The profound and mysterious will of the universe which moves all things.
Truth.
The women dying was also following the truth. Even though it was a dog's death (dying in vain).
When you look at it through God's eyes, there is a meaning to all.
I was in the middle of talking, dammit.
So you're the psychic detective. I knew I would meet you.
This kind of blessing, it is for people like us ...
All of them, dammit.
- Where did the students riding scooters that were there go? - Sorry?
I didn't see them.
What are you doing?
Something is strange.
What?
That guy, his real voice is different from the one on the broadcast.
That's a given. When it goes through the mic and the speakers, it will definitely—
become more forceful.
The voice changed inside the student's memories.
What are you saying?
With the truth you ...
For the doctrine lecture that was played in the detention room,
there was a moment where the tone of the lecturer was different than usual.
Fear is solely a struggle encroaching on your soul,
thus with the truth of your death ...
The lecture he gives when murdering,
was the same voice for sure, but it was different from the tone in the DVD.
- What? - He was in person in the next room.
The only path for the salvation of your body and soul is solely through me ...
The voice from the DVD is the voice of the real murderer.
Truth. Truth.
Truth.
Keyword "truth" is not found.
Truth ...
Wait.
Did someone see the word "truth"?
Pardon?
I'm sure I saw it. But I can't remember.
It isn't in the investigation data.
Maybe you saw it somewhere else?
Querying the case files.
The investigation headquarters was dissolved thirty minutes ago.
We will leave now.
This is it.
Kim Seo Kyeong's childhood's ...
Trut
Truth?
- Bong Gook, you analyze this picture. - Pardon?
- But why this? - Yes.
It wasn't this picture.
I'm sure I saw the full word, truth.
If this is the common element between the victims ...
It is!
- Kim Seo Kyeong's bankbook? - No.
Student Lee Bo Yeon's. It's a scholarship she received at the age of ten.
- Bong Gook, you look into the scholarship foundation, and Seul Bi, you look through the image files with me. - Yes.
Truth.
It is also there for the first victim.
The second victim also received the same scholarship.
The four victims all received the same scholarship at the age of ten.
The True Heaven Scholarship Foundation. There is a townhouse
on the riverside of Onsang-ri.
The resident?
The foundation's chairman. It's someone we all know.
- Park Gi Dan. - Park Gi Dan?
Onsang-ri villa complex - True Heaven Scholarship Foundation's villa.
That famous cult leader?
True Heaven Temple
I, the disciple of God who became flesh, Park Gi Dan, holding the consensus of all things sacred in the universe in these hands,
at this moment, to those who accept me as the sole savior,
give you proof of eternal life.
