Did you say the Eraser showed up?
The son of a section chief from our headquarters...
- was terrorized two days ago. - Who?
Section Chief Cheon Ki Soo.
What else?
Yesterday, the Eraser targeted a firefighter in Shimbae City,
but he failed.
"Failed"?
Is Dong Baek involved?
Yes. How did you know?
Where is he?
We're trying to figure that out.
- What about the firefighter? - Pardon?
Where is the firefighter the Eraser was targeting?
He was admitted to Shimbae General Hospital.
Does the firefighter know a doctor from the hospital?
How did you know?
Byun.
You can only ask questions when I allow it. Did you forget?
I'm sorry, sir.
The firefighter's wife is a doctor at the hospital.
- Byun Young Soo. - Yes?
If you can't catch the Eraser,
your career will end as a senior superintendent.
- I'm sorry. - It's not the same for me.
It'll hurt my pride,
but it's your neck on the line.
I'll keep that in mind.
The prosecution is trying to get their hands on this case.
They'll call it a join investigation so they can steal it.
Even if you catch him, they'll brief everyone that it was thanks to them.
If you fail, they'll make the police look incompetent.
Get it solved before they take it away.
You need to resolve it within three days at maximum.
I'm not saying this for me,
but for you.
Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir. - Cancel all morning appointments.
Get Kim Do Su from the Intelligence Agency to come.
- Do you mean Chief Kim? - No,
I mean Inspector Kim Do Su!
(Shimbae General Hospital)
Why isn't he waking up?
It's hard to tell with this equipment.
We're monitoring him just in case.
Why don't we transfer him to your lab now?
He's pretty stable, so we'll transfer him soon.
Please guarantee his security. He's being chased by prosecutors.
Are you worried?
I've known Baek for seven years.
At first, I thought he was a swindler.
Once I realized he wasn't lying, he looked like a savior.
I could really see a halo on him.
But now, he's like my little brother.
I'm worried about him more than anything.
I wonder if we got too close.
I just hope he'll stay healthy.
Do you think it's not possible for him to stay healthy?
It's not looking good. He's fainting more frequently now.
I want you to stop him.
It's dangerous for him to keep on scanning memories.
What do you mean it's dangerous?
I can't be sure since I can't make any comparisons,
but I'm certain he's dying.
- Why didn't you tell him? - I did. Many times.
However, he won't stop.
He's like a runaway train who believes it's his fate to crash.
Scanning more memories is like committing suicide for him.
(Episode 12: The Child of Darkness)
(Eight years ago)
Your change is 40 cents.
Did you see him smile when he touched our hands?
- He looked disgusted. - Hey.
My heart is aching.
He's such a kind man, but he grew up lonely at an orphanage.
It makes me tear up.
Hello.
I wrote this all night. Please read it.
- Please take this. - Here.
Those girls are so old.
How vulgar.
I heard he doesn't have any friends.
- Really? - Yes.
That's why he's always alone. He doesn't have any.
- Is he a loner? - Watch it.
Have you ever seen a loner as handsome as him?
Are you happy?
No way.
What is it? Open them.
I'm going to give them to the little ones at the orphanage.
But they're for you. Why?
No reason.
How ridiculous.
You're the one who told me to work at the convenience store.
I told you to practice whenever you touch the customers' hands.
I didn't tell you to call in your fan club.
I didn't call in anyone.
It doesn't matter. So, how was it?
I told you, I'm not enjoying this.
That's not what I'm asking. How did your practice go?
The practice?
I can somewhat control it now.
People's memories used to flow in whenever they brushed by,
but now I can control it.
You must be happy to touch the hands of young girls.
But...
I'm going to quit now.
Why?
You should train more and improve your...
No.
I don't want to be affected by their memories.
I thought you could control it.
There are some feelings I can't filter out.
Pain and hurt.
I can sense such unpleasant feelings the earliest.
I don't want to do it anymore.
Thanks.
For what?
If it wasn't for you,
I would've never thought about training like this.
Why have you never asked me for help?
What do you mean?
The training. Why don't you want to do it with me?
The training? Well...
It's because...
Well...
I'm leaving.
It doesn't work with you.
It doesn't work...
the way I want it to.
Why not?
I don't know.
Why don't you know?
My mind...
just goes blank...
Detective Dong.
You shouldn't get up.
Detective Dong...
Detective Dong woke up.
Detective Dong!
Why did you come out? There are a lot of people here.
The Eraser... He has a big scar on his right arm.
We know. Go back to your room for now.
He left Mr. Noh a clue. Where is he?
He disappeared.
He vanished into thin air early in the morning.
What did the Eraser leave behind?
He put something...
in Mr. Noh's nostril.
In his nostril?
All the other CCTVs except for the elevators' were down.
An outside vendor had backup footage.
Second basement level?
It's a parking lot. We're looking into all the vehicles' blackboxes.
Why did he abduct him?
What did Mr. Noh see?
No, he's not trying to get rid of a witness.
His purpose was murder itself.
He enjoyed watching...
Mr. Noh die.
Are these the only vehicles that left the hospital?
Yes. It was too early in the morning.
What about that portable bed?
Sorry?
Did you find it in the parking lot?
No.
Did you check all the trucks?
Yes, we did.
What about the hallways?
I didn't see it.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
What is it?
- They're still in the building. - What?
The Eraser probably needed an ambulance or a truck...
to move the bed outside.
But the only vehicles that left the hospital were sedans.
If it's not the parking lot...
What else is down there?
We have several rooms.
- He's going to asphyxiate Mr. Noh. - "Suffocate"?
Since the Eraser failed to do so, he's going to attempt it again.
- What should we do? - Look for enclosed areas.
You three, start from here.
Yes, ma'am.
(Nutrition Team, Cafeteria)
- The cafeteria. - The cafeteria?
The fridges.
I know.
Police.
We'd like to check your fridges.
Where are the freezers?
It's one floor below.
Let's go.
Wait here. Let me check on them.
Darn it.
The door didn't open, so we called a technician.
Darn it.
Where did Se Hoon go?
Hey. What?
They're in front of the freezer.
(Morgue, Staff Only)
(Staff Only, Restricted Area, Risk of Infection)
What are you doing in here?
I'm a police officer. We're looking for a patient who has disappeared.
Only dead bodies are down here.
I'd like to check inside.
They're all empty.
- All of them? - Yes.
Then why is it turned on?
Sorry?
This one.
Why is this on?
Good work.
What about me?
He's turned the corner.
His vital signs are stable. We'll keep monitoring.
Thank you.
See? Mr. Noh is a resilient man.
Like you said, I found this in his nostril.
I'll be going now.
"An innocent will be crucified..."
"instead of the sinner."
He's punishing on their behalf.
"On their behalf"?
He's taking his revenge on the sinner...
by killing an innocent.
The "Sinner"?
I'm sure you've heard of the Eraser.
- The Eraser? - The serial killer...
who got himself a fan club a few days after being on the news.
What about him?
He's after your husband.
What? Why would he do that?
You do know who Mr. Cheon Ki Soo is, right?
- Sorry, who? - He's the section chief.
Two days ago, his son was murdered...
by the Eraser.
A murderer who always prioritized his justification...
changed his method of killing.
He burned an ordinary young man...
and then attempted to kill a respectable firefighter twice.
Why do you think he did that?
How should I know?
"An innocent will be crucified instead of the sinner."
I believe he's talking to you. Am I wrong?
If you don't tell me,
your husband will continue to be in danger.
It'll be easy for us to find out.
Would you like me to read your secret?
It happened 20 years ago when I was on night duty.
A body came in,
so I went to the morgue to check.
A young man had jumped to his death.
His body was severely marred.
And that's when Section Chief Cheon came.
Why?
He wanted to hear the result.
Which was?
It did seem like he fell to his death,
but something seemed off.
What do you mean?
He had fresh two-degree burns on his arm.
Maybe he just scraped it on his way down.
As a doctor, I can differentiate a burn from a scrape.
So?
We need to perform an autopsy.
Come on, now. He even wrote a suicide note.
It's obviously a suicide.
I met the prosecutor in charge.
He was annoyed by the number of autopsies that were carried out.
What did you just do?
Ms. Song Sook Hyu,
your son's quite ill, isn't he?
What did you say?
Doesn't he need a bone-marrow transplant?
Who are you?
A savior...
who will save your son.
You fabricated the cause of death...
so they wouldn't perform an autopsy.
He promised to help my son live.
He promised to provide a donor immediately.
You didn't even know him, so why did you believe him?
It hadn't even been two hours since that young man's death.
But he found out my weakness in that time.
Instinctively, I knew...
that someone...
very powerful was behind him.
(Cause of death: Fall)
(Signature)
(Song Sook Hyun)
What was the deceased's name?
(Name: Moon Yong Dae)
Moon Yong Dae.
Are you sure?
For the past 20 years,
I never forgot that name even for a moment.
Why not?
I got my punishment already.
My son found a donor,
but he ended up dying anyway.
I prayed to atone for my sins all of my life.
Code blue. Code blue. There is a code blue in the ICU.
Who are you?
You can't leave a patient under intensive care.
I was just checking an order.
Who has code blue?
It's someone else in the ICU.
What are you doing?
Didn't I make myself clear?
You should get ready to become a lawyer instead.
Why are you here?
- What? - It's rare...
for you to show up at a scene without your uniform...
or any entourage.
Official rank and name.
Inspector Min Sung Han.
Min Sung Han. Starting from this minute,
anyone who allows Han Sun Mi in will get severe disciplinary action.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
Get rid of her.
Let's go.
- Did he disappear? - He was there just a moment ago.
Find him before it's too late.
Your big sister is desperately looking for you.
- What big sister? - You should stay here.
Why? So I could scan the memories of Noh Gwang Gyu's wife?
No, there's nothing else we can get from her.
Then why?
It's dangerous for him to keep on scanning memories.
You need to get well first.
Gosh. You're only two years older.
Stop acting like you're my big sister.
You'll get in my way if you faint again.
Also, we're four years apart.
Good for you for looking young.
His name was Moon Yong Dae.
In February of 2000, he committed suicide the year he turned 20.
His mother also committed suicide that same year.
The only family he has left is his father, Moon Chul Ju.
Their address in Shimbae City is still the same.
Okay, thank you.
No problem.
By the way...
Professor Han?
Two months after Moon Yong Dae was murdered,
seven people died in the abandoned factory.
In the Eraser's hands.
Why did those seven people kill Moon Yong Dae?
On what grounds?
Cheon Ki Soo is the link.
He forced his way to get involved in both cases and covered them.
If the Eraser was avenging Moon Yong Dae,
who is the suspect? Moon Yong Dae's father?
- Yes? - Cheon Ki Soo disappeared.
What?
He got changed in a hurry.
I think he went into hiding.
- Hurry up and find him. - It's easy for you to say.
How can we find him when he's determined to hide?
Your expertise is finding people.
He holds the key to Shimbae City, so hurry!
Why didn't you read his memories properly last night?
Hello?
Did he hang up?
Does he think he's my boss?
He thinks I'll listen to his orders, doesn't he?
- But you do. - What did you say?
By the way, doesn't Baek look strange to you these days?
He's fainting so often as if he's about to die.
Why are you worried about such a ridiculous thing?
He's known to be the strangest guy in the world.
That pain in the neck would never die before me.
You're so harsh.
(Moon Chul Ju)
I think this place was empty for a long time.
None of the packages are open...
as if they're waiting for an unexpected visitor.
Perhaps they're waiting for the owner of the house.
They look alike.
Hello?
Who...
- Han Sun Mi? - The Eraser?
Dong Baek. The deaths are happening because of your sins.
It's because of the crime you committed on Meadow.
What?
Meadow.
"Meadow".
It's what Jin Jae Gyu said as his last words.
Meadow...
He told me to look for Meadow.
No matter what...
No matter what.
(Seven years ago)
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the beep.
Why is your phone turned off?
Call me when you see this.
(Sent to Meadow)
- I'll get going, sir. - Okay.
Hello, I'm Ko Hyun A.
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the beep.
Hello, I'm Ko Hyun A.
(Missing)
(Name: Seol Meadow)
(Missing)
He told you to find Meadow?
Does it ring a bell?
(Situation Room)
- Yes, what is it? - It's me.
- I see. - It's upsetting...
to find out you only contacted Bong Kook and not us.
You two shouldn't get involved.
Deputy Chief Lee gave a strict order.
I don't care about that. Bong Kook can only hack.
It's Seul Bi and me who are professionals at researching.
Superintendent Han, we found more information.
Late Moon Yong Dae's father Moon Chul Ju...
has been missing since 10 years ago.
- "Missing"? - Yes.
He became an alcoholic after his son died,
then he ran away from home.
Who made the report?
A relative named Moon Yong Gwang. He's a first cousin once removed.
There are records of payment for the utilities made by the cousin.
Does he have any siblings?
No, he's the only child.
He was adopted.
"Adopted"?
Moon Chul Ju probably had his second son...
registered under a relative.
From this moment, Moon Yong Gwang is the key suspect.
Find him as soon as possible.
I already forwarded you his information.
I'm good at researching too.
Moon Yong Gwang, 37 years old. After leaving the special forces,
he worked for six years as a member of the police's SWAT team.
(SWAT)
He retired a year ago and became a guard. It's unusual.
He wouldn't have any personal time.
How can he be the Eraser?
Moon Yong Gwang's employer has been abroad for six months.
That makes it possible.
"Bang Jun Seok"? He's famous.
Let's go to former assemblyman Bang Jun Seok's home first.
Your destination is up ahead.
What's going on?
Don't make any calls.
The prosecution has your number bugged.
Chief Prosecutor Woo Seok Do is on his way.
How did you know that?
We have a source there.
You could get hurt at this rate.
We can worry about that later.
What's going on?
Assemblyman Bang Jun Seok's wife was abducted.
She was abducted yesterday, but the report was made just now.
It's currently under embargo.
- The wife of Assemblyman Bang? - Eun Soo Gyeong.
Her nickname is Mother Teresa, right?
She's a social activist, so she wouldn't have any enemies.
Probably not.
Most people think she's a good person.
"An innocent will be crucified..."
"Instead of the sinner."
Let's see who the real sinner is.
What are you going to do? The prosecution will be here soon.
Det. Dong!
Let's go.
Senior Superintendent Han.
We're under strict order by the deputy chief.
- Please make way. - I'll be fired.
Are you being a coward?
You should cover your face. I have to arrest you if I see you.
- Chief Byun. - Let's go in.
- But Deputy Chief Lee said... - You too.
She's her personal assistant.
She was there when the abduction happened.
Where's Moon Yong Gwang?
Chief Secretary Moon?
He went to pick up Mr. Bang from the airport. They'll be back soon.
- Brief me. - Okay.
She was abducted from a basement parking lot...
of a hospital after her ob-gyn check-up.
Luckily, the abduction was recorded on the dashcam of a delivery truck.
We found only the vehicle near the hospital.
Do you remember anything about the criminal?
A wound.
He had a wound on his wrist.
Was it his right hand?
- Yes. - Anything else?
Have you seen a similar wound like that around you?
Could you give us some privacy?
Okay.
Do you have the details about the victim's family?
- Are you talking about Mr. Bang? - No, her parents.
Here.
The victim's father, Chief Justice Eun Young Pyo,
died from an illness last year.
Her mother is currently working as a principal.
"District commissioner of Shimbae City"...
(Vice-principal of Shimbae High School)
She was the vice-principal of Shimbae High School.
The sinner must be one or the other.
Or it could be both.
Let me hear what you think.
The Eraser stopped imitating the Executioner...
and started his revenge.
He's killing the families of his enemies.
- "The families"? - He's making them feel...
the pain he experienced when he lost his family.
Then Section Chief Cheon and the wife of that firefighter...
They're accomplices who covered up the case.
Is he doing this just because they covered it up?
He's getting rid of everyone involved...
to strike his target with more fear.
The Eraser's method of revenge is building fear.
The Eraser will kill the sinner last to make them suffer.
Is this abduction related too?
They're getting the punishment in place of their parents.
Is Moon Yong Gwang really the Eraser?
There's a 50 percent chance.
We should check if we're ready to fight him. He's a fast one.
Here comes another fast one.
What a sight.
Are you having a meeting with someone who's wanted?
This is why the police need to follow the prosecution's orders.
- Don't you agree, Chief Byun? - Please wait.
We'll pass the video to you soon.
Is this a comedy club?
You'll regret it if you make a scene here.
- What are you doing? - They're here.
I'm Chief Byun Young Soo of Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's RIU.
Do you have any news about my wife?
We're doing our best.
What's going on?
I'm Chief Prosecutor Woo Seok Do...
from the Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Is this a joint investigation?
We came to arrest the criminal who infiltrated your house.
- A "criminal"? - I think he's talking about me.
Det. Dong Baek?
- What are you doing here? - We're looking for the abductor.
We'll get things sorted out as soon as possible.
He's been suspended anyway.
Are you trying to humiliate me?
I'm sorry? What do you mean?
I'm asking you if you're trying to let my wife get killed...
because I'm not an assemblyman anymore.
Of course not.
You should be including him if anything.
Why are you excluding Detective Superpower?
It's a misunderstanding.
Get out right now.
Evacuate right away.
I want you to leave first.
They're coming out.
Did you fail to arrest Det. Dong?
What do you think about people saying you have a personal grudge?
Is it a joint investigation?
Do you have any information on the abductor?
Is it due to a political reason?
Please make a comment.
Is Det. Dong going to be in charge of the investigation after all?
Please help me.
Could I look at your arm?
My arm?
Why do you ask?
The criminal has a big wound on his right arm.
What are you doing? Show him.
Wait.
Your left arm too.
Show them.
It looked like a scar from a knife.
How did you get that scar?
I got injured while handling explosives in the military.
Can I read your memory then?
To see when his wife was kidnapped.
No.
Mr. Moon, what do you think you're doing?
What do I have to do?
- Nothing. - Let's look for another way.
Is there a better way than this in this situation?
We can arrest him and investigate...
What are you doing?
Put down that knife!
Don't move.
These aren't blanks. Put it down.
You might die.
Mr. Moon.
What, is this what you really were?
You piece of trash.
Please help me.
What do we do?
- Seal off the roads. - Seal off the roads.
Seal off the roads. Did you hear me?
- Follow him! - Hey!
Hey!
Stop!
Hey! My motorcycle!
What are you doing?
He couldn't have gotten far.
We can't catch a motorcycle in the middle of the city.
Then what? Do you want to give up?
I know where he's going. The records.
Take a left turn soon.
The record of him leaving the hospital...
right after kidnapping Eun Soo Gyeong.
(Sang-dong, Shimbae City)
Please let me go.
I won't say anything to the police.
I didn't even see your face.
(An innocent person will be crucified instead of the sinner.)
Darn it.
Go check upstairs.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
(Unidentified Number)
It isn't me. I'm not a murderer.
Moon Yong Gwang?
All I did was chase after...
the Eraser.
That's nonsense.
I've been chasing after him all my life.
I was so close.
Who is he?
The scar on his arm.
I saw a scar on his right arm.
So who is it?
It's inside there.
A red button.
"A Red button"?
Wait. It might be a bomb.
Step back.
- Hey, wait! - What do you want?
You can't come in here.
Please leave!
What do you think you're doing?
- Security! - You.
You were there 20 years ago in Shimbae!
- What? - You were the Eraser.
- What did you say? - You shouldn't scan him.
Stop!
It was you.
Don't lie.
The person who killed seven people in Shimbae City...
20 years ago.
No... No.
No... No, it's not me!
The murderer... The Eraser...
It's you.
(An innocent will be crucified instead of the sinner.)
He's young, but evil.
You must not underestimate him.
If you don't want to die horribly.
Dong Baek has a deep resentment...
against Shimbae City since 20 years ago.
As of this moment, Dong Baek is the prime suspect.
Did you kill Park Gi Dan?
I wanted to ask before I took his life.
How it felt to be paid back the same way.
I'm certain the Eraser has a big picture in his head.
There's another evil being who was behind...
all the scattered cases?
He's here to kill his next target.
