Memorist (2020) s01e02 Episode Script

1
(Memorist)
(All characters, organizations,
places, and events are fictional.)
Rape and blackmail.
A scumbag with a hammer tattoo.
Seo Kyung took off her clothes first.
Did you also kill a girl 20 years ago?
I heard you're a little nuts.
My goodness.
Would the Almighty who
created this earth
take a chance with evil
and allow foolish humans to
What if I never killed anyone?
Will you apologize?
Get rid of it!
No way!
Excuse us. Coming through.
It's all under control.
Where on earth are you?
- I'm headed to their office.
- What?
Is that where they're keeping her?
They're only the middlemen.
What are you talking about?
Did you have to beat him up like this?
The real kidnapper is the man
Kim Seo Kyung was selling herself to.
What?
Old man, there's something you need to do.
- A red pig?
- Hurry. We're running out of time.
Baek, you can't leave a man like this
Baek? Baek!
He must be dead.
Looks like a suicide.
Maybe he jumped from up there.
(Memorist: Ep 2, The Red Pig)
(24 minutes earlier)
- Hello?
- Is Seo Kyung home?
Don't think so.
"Think"?
You should've knocked
down the door and checked!
But there's a police
precinct across the street.
Then call a locksmith and
say you're her brother.
What if someone reports me?
Get over there.
Wouldn't boyfriend be a better cover?
Just take care of it, darn it!
Why not do it yourself then?
Fine, let's get going.
Delivery!
Delivery.
Where is he?
Search the place. Do it.
- Yes, sir.
- Over there.
- He's not here.
- Isn't he here?
He's not here, sir.
- Darn it.
- He's not here either.
The bird isn't in its nest.
(CEO Oh Yeon Tak)
Sir, we're in big trouble.
What if I never killed anyone?
Will you apologize?
I won't charge you for
urinating on the street.
Get rid of it!
What's that sound?
Shoot.
Give me that!
What a mess. Check over there.
See what's in there.
Hey, you!
Stop right there. You punk.
Do you have a death wish?
Darn it.
- What the
- 1, 2!
- 1, 2, pull.
- Pull!
- 1, 2, pull.
- Hold on a second.
- Wait.
- You weasel.
Did you think you could get away from us?
You thought you were in the
clear, didn't you?
1, 2
Darn it.
You said 10 percent.
The probability of the culprit being
the owner of the burner phone
was 90 percent.
There was a 10 percent
chance of me being wrong.
You simultaneously investigated
the less likely scenario?
The burner phone had no call logs.
It only used encrypted messages.
- And?
- The answer was elsewhere.
There's a report of Kim Seo Kyung
being assaulted six months ago.
The assailant was her
ex-boyfriend turned stalker.
He claimed he only hit
her because she was dirty.
Dirty?
He found out
that she had been selling herself.
Meanwhile, her pimp has an alibi.
- Then
- The suspect is the buyer.
The one who tried to
exploit her that night.
Someone powerful enough to stay hidden.
A member of the upper class.
We have news from the field.
One of the suspects fell off a building.
What?
He came down a rope to escape, but fell.
That concludes today's lecture.
May the spirits be with you.
What day of the week is it?
I was kidnapped on Sunday. So maybe Monday?
Tomorrow is the day.
The day of what?
Execution.
What? What do you mean by that?
He kills on Tuesdays.
The older girl before you
was killed on a Tuesday too.
This is absurd.
Stay focused.
You must score 90 out of
100 in the doctrine test.
What am I going to do?
If you score any less, he'll kill you
brutally.
Kidnaps on Tuesday,
kills on Tuesday. The pattern is repeating.
It's Tuesday in just four hours.
All units,
stay alert and do your very best.
We explained that they're only a witness,
but we still can't get through to them.
We've been slowly adding pressure though.
Once one of them cracks,
we'll get the evidence we need.
Lawyer Kim, is that you?
Sue everyone starting
with that punk Dong Baek.
Get your people on it.
Must I be treated this way at my age?
Right.
And who may you be?
- Senior Superintendent Han Sun Mi.
- Officer Han?
Superintendent Han!
Superintendent?
- Aren't you too young to be one?
- Shut it!
Why are you yelling at
me after beating me up?
Things don't work that way anymore.
- Mr. Oh Yeon Tak.
- What?
I don't care whether or
not you report Telepathy.
I only care about murderers.
Exactly. So why are you
bugging me about it?
I don't care that you were a pimp either.
Not now, at least.
Who keeps spreading such nonsense
Kim Seo Kyung is dying because of you.
You have soft hands, Superintendent Han.
But too bad. I don't know anything.
Your client is a killer.
Who is it?
Who was Kim Seo Kyung seeing?
What are you talking about?
The less you talk,
the more I'll become interested in you.
What?
Have you no fear?
Sexual assault and
threatening of your trainees.
Do you have evidence?
You think you burned it all, right?
But as you say, things have changed.
You can be found guilty
simply based on testimony
about what you did to them.
Know something?
If I were going to fall
for these empty threats,
I, Oh Yeon Tak, never would've been born.
You're confident, right?
Since the powerful members
will protect you at all costs.
That's what imbeciles
like you always think.
How do you think they are where they are?
It's because they swap
out expendables like you.
Yap all you want.
One more victim and my
interest will blow up.
I'll hold you accountable
for everything you did.
I'll make sure you never
step foot outside of prison.
At least until you're old enough
to collect Social Security.
Kids like you Hey, I'm not done talking.
Where are you going? Hey!
Should I push him?
He doesn't know either.
What?
He doesn't know the client
that Kim Seo Kyung met.
I want to help you for poor
Seo Kyung's sake, but
You punk. That's ridiculous.
You were in charge of the girls.
How could you not know whom
Kim Seo Kyung was meeting?
I told you, there's another
group that handles that.
Why you
I know nothing about the men.
How could you work with
a group that you don't know?
- How?
- Spill it.
So
about two years ago,
we got a call from someone
who liked Seo Kyung's profile.
He sent 100,000 dollars
to our account right away.
Mr. Oh lost his mind after that
and became obsessed with
finding pretty girls.
Kim Min Kwon.
Yes?
Remember something.
- But
- If you don't,
I'll hold you accountable
for the victims' deaths.
But I don't know anything.
That's right. Number 13.
He was called Client 13.
- Number 13?
- The client number.
What else?
Why did you come here?
- Move.
- Are you here to leech off of us?
I'll just see Kim Min Kwon and go, so move.
I will not. You need a bigger beating,
is that it?
I'm fine. I let my guard down for a second.
I beat him to a pulp the other day.
I let you hit me so I
could read your memory.
Don't lie.
You little punk. You jerk.
Lim Chil Kyoo!
Are you okay?
What now?
- I came to see Kim Min Kwon.
- He has nothing to do
with Yoon Ye Rim's disappearance.
Everyone should help in every way possible.
Inspector.
I'll get rid of him.
I'm Han Sun Mi.
You shouldn't shake his hand.
You want to scan Kim Min Kwon?
- Who are you, kid?
- Watch it.
She's a senior superintendent.
- Move. We don't have time.
- Why you
Tell me. I'm the chief of staff of
the special investigations unit.
- Do you have decision authority?
- Naturally.
I need Kim Min Kwon's memory to find
the jerk who saw Kim Seo Kyung last.
What if there's nothing useful in his head?
That's why I need to check.
There may be a clue that he isn't aware of.
You'll find memories he isn't aware of.
I can't permit that.
- What was that?
- Lower your voice.
He has no respect.
I can't permit that.
- Why not?
- You're suspended right now.
What does that matter?
Illegally obtained evidence
is inadmissible in court.
Who cares about that?
While you yap about court,
the kidnapping victims will all die!
I said to show respect!
He'll be acquitted for an illegal arrest.
If it's illegal to scan him for the case,
I'll do it as a rescue effort.
That's it. Exactly.
Scanning him to rescue the
victims is a different matter.
That's not for me to permit or deny.
- Then
- Even if
Detective Dong finds a clue,
we will not be privy to it.
- However
- It's okay if Kim Min Kwon says it.
His useful memories.
You're smart.
However, you must be accountable
for anything that goes wrong.
You alone.
Okay. You have a deal.
(Memory Disclosure Agreement)
It's a real honor.
I look horrible though.
You know what that document is, right?
I'm sharing my memories.
- For what purpose?
- To catch the killer.
- Why you
- That's right.
To rescue the victims.
Hold on.
Does it hurt or No, right?
- Not at all.
- It won't jumble up my memories
or give me dementia, right?
Definitely not.
- Hold on.
- What now?
Yesterday
I watched some erotica.
Don't worry.
If he discloses anything
personal, I'll arrest him.
Okay, then
- What is it?
- We're from
the Prosecutors' Office.
Dong Baek is under arrest for assault.
Get him.
- Get him.
- What are you doing?
- Stop them!
- Stop them.
Okay, let's go.
What is he being arrested for?
- Who are you?
- It's been a while, Sun Mi.
How have you been?
The last time I saw you was
at the alumni gathering.
Do you have a warrant?
You can only arrest him without
one for crimes punishable
- up to three years, not assault.
- Darn it.
I'm too scared of the top student
at the training institution.
Send him a summons.
Or bring a warrant.
- Get out.
- Did you say it was for assault?
What? Well
It's for bodily harm.
Punishable up to seven years. Satisfied?
That was while a cop was arresting a perp.
How is that bodily harm?
I'll interrogate him slowly.
Get back to work.
- Let's go.
- Not a chance.
Step out of their way.
Give me five minutes.
The lives of kidnapping
victims are at stake.
- Five minutes?
- I'll give him to you after.
Why? Do you want his memory scanned?
Sorry, I don't want to.
People's lives are at stake.
Anyone who touches my people
from this moment forth
will be locked up for
obstruction of justice.
I don't know if you know my reputation,
but I don't make empty threats.
How dare you touch a prosecutor?
You should've become a
judge or prosecutor then.
Who said to become a cop?
There's someone else.
- What?
- Your target.
You're not after Detective Dong.
What are you talking about?
Kim Min Kwon.
You came to stop my investigation.
That's nonsense.
Thanks to you, I have a lead.
Because the one trying to
cover it up is the killer.
I'll uncover it now.
The identity of that jerk
Number 13 who sent you.
What's 13?
Let them go.
Let them go.
- Watch it.
- Darn it.
Come on.
People have been kidnapped.
Let me go! They're all going to die!
Senior Inspector! Sir!
As of this moment, our target has changed.
What's our target?
Seoul Northern District
Prosecutors' Office.
(Professor Han Sun Mi)
Gosh, these punks.
What a mess.
(Situation room)
(Northern District Prosecutors'
Office arrests Det. Dong.)
(Han Sun Mi orders to investigate
Northern Prosecutors' Office.)
What's wrong? Are you stuck with something?
No, sir.
Professor Han is investigating
Northern Prosecutors' Office.
She has a great hunch.
Should I stop Professor Han?
You don't give her any credit, do you?
- Pardon?
- You keep calling her "professor."
And I'm the one who hired her
so she could be your right arm.
I'm sorry. I'm just so
used to calling her that.
And officially speaking,
she's a professor at KNPU.
I'm sure you're jealous.
You graduated KNPU,
worked in the field for 20 years
and became a senior superintendent
faster than your colleagues.
But a kid who took the bar
exam suddenly shows up
and is given the same title as you.
No, I don't feel that way.
Don't be like that.
I started out as a constable.
I'm sorry, sir.
Burn it after you read it.
It's highly confidential.
(Personnel File)
(Seoul Western District
Prosecutors' Office)
(is in charge of Det. Dong's assault case.)
(Seoul Northern District
Prosecutors' Office)
(doesn't seem to have requested
an official transfer.)
We can't just interfere
without a proper reason.
We're dealing with the prosecution.
Seoul Western District
Prosecutors' Office
is still in charge of
Detective Dong's case.
But he was arrested by the Northern
District Prosecutors' Office.
They probably just wanted
to receive the spotlight
They weren't even from the
criminal investigation branch.
Their best guy
barged in and took him away
even when he wasn't in charge.
That's because he's a
telepathic investigator
Prosecutor Oh is always obsessed
with receiving attention.
But he's always careful not to
cross a certain group of people.
His superiors.
Seoul's regional investigation unit
that's in charge of investigating
the recent serial murders
switched the case to an open
criminal investigation
and revealed the information
they have regarding the criminal.
The weapon used by the criminal
is estimated to be a tool that
looks similar to a hammer.
And up until now,
there have been two victims
Yes, sir. We're on our way back.
Yes.
Mom. I'm scared.
- A pig?
- Yes, a red pig.
It can also be pink or similar.
- May I take a look around?
- Yes, of course.
Thank you.
Dong Baek started investigating as
soon as you told him what happened.
He's investigating in secret
because he's being disciplined.
- Really?
- Of course.
And in that process,
he saw a red pig in someone's memory.
We want to check if we
can find a similar clue.
But whose memory did he scan?
It It was a testifier.
Don't worry.
We all know who Dong Baek is.
He's the world's one and only
telepathic investigator
who has solved tons of unsolved cases.
He's a superhero. There's no need to worry.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Thank you.
- He'll find Ye Rim in no time.
- Of course.
- Yes, of course. He's Dong Baek.
What's your problem?
I starved all day.
I think I'm low on sugar.
- Is the cafeteria closed?
- You psycho.
Order a large-sized beef bone soup for me.
I'm starving.
Please be quiet.
- Where are you going?
- Do I need to tell you everything?
Well, no.
Hey!
Oh, gosh!
Hey! Wait!
Are you going up?
Have you lost your mind?
- The 10th floor?
- No.
Then get out.
- Hey!
- Stop!
Who
Sir, wait.
Security, you need to come right now.
- Please hurry.
- Where's the piece of trash?
Sir! My gosh, sir.
Sir.
It's him! Stop him!
- Go!
- Come here.
Get him!
I told you to grab him!
He's one of a kind.
We should leave, sir.
Hurry up and catch him!
Hurry! Get him!
- Where do you think you're going?
- Pardon?
Clear things up.
Yes, sir.
Gosh, you little
Let me go! Let go, you punk!
Gosh.
Where do you think you're going?
My gosh.
- Get out.
- Pardon?
Stop him.
Oh, right. Okay, sir.
And you?
Me too?
Go! Hurry!
Where did he go?
There he is! Get him!
- Catch him!
- Move it!
- Get over here!
- Stop him!
Hey!
Hurry up and catch him!
Go get him!
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
(Personnel File)
What's this?
Confidential information from the NIS.
Why is the intelligence
service looking into Chief Im?
What's important is the
outcome, not the motive.
Without the motive,
the outcome can't be trusted.
That's Deputy Chief
Lee's method of survival.
He collects information
by commanding the intelligence service?
Let's just discuss the outcome for now.
(Im Joong Yeon, Chief of Northern
District Prosecutors' Office)
Chief Im
is who she was selling herself out to.
That night, Kim Seo Kyung
didn't show up to meet him.
It's because she was kidnapped.
After being stood up,
Im Joong Yeon called over his secretary
who he was having an affair with.
Then I accused the wrong man.
You at least eliminated a suspect.
No, I only wasted my time.
(Never ask anything.)
(Resist only to be bound.)
(Cry and you will suffer.)
Here's your coffee, ma'am.
Thank you.
Get some shut-eye, guys.
You should take a break too.
I'm all right.
We can't eve be sure at the moment.
All we have is the word of
the telepathic investigator.
There are other victims out there.
You keep looking at the same
files over and over again.
We'll get some rest then.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
- Please read this.
- Sorry, I'm busy.
Please.
Please read this, sir.
(Have You Seen This Girl?)
(Yoon Ye Rim, Female, 25 years old)
(Korean National Police Agency)
I brought you a blanket.
I'll get some fresh air.
What was that?
Those are incident points
connected to the victims.
No, before that.
They're just the secondary points.
(Secondary Incident Points)
Onha-ri 6 Street.
The location of her cell phone.
Freeze! Hands up!
(Secondary Incident Points,
Primary Incident Points)
Just one.
Only one overlaps.
About 1.5km away.
Isn't that where we arrested
the high school kids?
(Where Kim Seo Kyung's
cell phone was found)
Where Yoon Ye Rim went missing?
She's the fifth victim.
But you said her case
didn't fit the pattern since
she was kidnapped on Sunday.
Locate the phones we confiscated
and wake everyone up.
Yes, ma'am.
(Secondary Incident Points and
Primary Incident Points Analysis)
They say the entire area was searched.
Well, if that's the case
We'll focus on the pigs.
I'll take the west side,
you two take the east.
Scan pig farms and feed factories.
- Onha-ri is huge. The farms
- Are you sure?
About the red pig, I mean.
What I saw was a recent memory.
It happened after she was kidnapped.
The pig could be from anywhere though
We're running out of time anyway.
The Claw Hammer Killer might
not be involved in this case.
You're only guessing at this point.
I wish I was wrong too.
But this disgusting gut feeling
Would a murder
really happen today?
The Claw Hammer Killer kills on Tuesdays
The Claw Hammer Killer?
The one that's been
talked about on the news?
What? Of course not, ma'am.
That case happened somewhere
very far from here.
My Ye Rim
No, this has nothing to do
with your daughter's case.
Please, sit
I'll bring her back to
you soon safe and sound.
Please.
Please bring her back to me.
Ma'am, we need to be out on the field now.
Let's go.
Hold on.
Here you go. I made some gimbap
although I only had cold rice.
It's all right, ma'am. We appreciate it.
Let's head out.
Thank you, ma'am.
Please bring her back.
Silly, right?
Agreed.
- What are you doing?
- Bo Yun isn't home.
What is he doing?
Are you insane? Don't!
What's that?
- Run!
- Hurry!
Darn it.
(Pork Specialists)
What would you like?
Have you ever seen this before?
Or a vendor named Red Pig
Or a pig farm. Anything.
I've never seen that before.
I don't know it.
What pork isn't red?
Have you seen his image before
or a vendor named Red Pig?
I never saw this before.
It takes eight minutes
to reach the station.
These eight minutes is your last chance.
You said you found this
burner phone in Seoul, right?
So why did you go all the way to Onha-ri?
Can't people from Seoul go to Gyeonggi?
7 minutes and 45 seconds.
The moment we reach the station,
I'll hold you accountable
for everything you did.
- What if we talk before then?
- Shut your trap.
I'll forgive you.
As long as you didn't kill anyone.
We didn't kill anyone.
- No
- I said to shut it!
- 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
- We can ask them to find
- Bo Yun.
- We don't need them!
Bo Yun?
None of your business.
You went there to look for Bo
Yun, didn't you?
(2 weeks ago)
She went to an unmanned hotel
with compensated dating clients.
But that day, for some reason,
they took a bunch of
side streets for a while.
Where are we going?
Pull over.
I said to pull over.
Pull over! I said to pull over!
No, no.
Where did they go?
I don't know. They disappeared.
That's where we lost them.
At the three-way junction.
You should've called the police right away.
For what?
She did that all the time.
We thought she went into
hiding with the money.
You punks. I know you're immature, but
This is chief of staff.
This goes to all the officers.
From this moment on, all available
officers will help search Onha-ri.
The suspect's car is an old
SUV, model unknown.
Search anywhere a car can be hidden.
- Hello.
- My gosh.
Search the houses.
If they refuse, they will be a suspect.
Head out now.
- Hey.
- Metro sent
all available officers to search this area.
- Really?
- Finally.
Remember the high schoolers who
were caught at the intersection?
They lure compensated dating clients
and take off with their money.
They were chasing a car that
kidnapped one of their own.
- What?
- They lost them at the junction.
Metro is starting with
the villas in Onha-ri.
They profiled the killer
as being upper class.
You should get moving too.
Old man, you go ahead.
You should check all the villas.
- I need to stop by somewhere.
- Hey!
Darn it.
Darn it.
- Darn it.
- Look.
What are you doing?
I said everyone get out there!
Ma'am. We were ordered from above to wait.
- Who? Chief?
- No. Higher up.
Why did you stop the search of Onha-ri?
You're here.
My gosh. You look terrible.
Sir!
How dare you raise your voice?
Superintendent Han.
Shall we chat inside?
We must search the area now.
Don't you know who owns
the villas in that town?
Does it matter?
How will you get inside?
Will you beg the judge for warrants?
Will you search all 80 villas
including the chief justice's?
People's lives are at stake.
What proof do you have?
Because the telepathic detective said so?
You couldn't keep that
little thing from him.
It's based on my deduction.
So? Will you make them trespass illegally?
You want to put them all out of a job?
Focus on the car's make and model.
If I'm wrong, I'll resign.
Do you think your job will cut it?
- Please permit it.
- What if I don't?
I'll take responsibility.
You will?
Fine, then.
From this moment forth,
Senior Superintendent Han Sun Mi
is dismissed as chief of staff.
- Sir.
- Sir.
Please reconsider.
Sun Mi.
The weight of an order
correlates to your rank.
Flip flopping on your
order and taking it back
is garbage that only lowly
peons who are powerless do.
Got that?
Do you appreciate the weight
of the orders that I give?
I'll call a disciplinary
hearing and punish her severely.
But
Get back to work.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing? Find that SUV!
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
That's ridiculous.
How could Det. Dong be a suspect
for the Claw Hammer Killer?
He ran away last night.
That's been confirmed.
But how is that related to
being the Claw Hammer Killer?
I heard it from a source
who works among prosecutors,
- Out of the way!
- So just find out where Baek is.
Hello? Hey, Kang
Kang Ji Eun!
- Her vitals are unstable.
- Keep going.
It's charged to 200 joules.
The number of murder victims
has increased to three in total.
Kim, a college student
who just passed away,
disappeared two weeks ago
The Hammer Serial Killer murder
case is starting to get out of hand.
They failed to find the victim
According to the police,
there are at least two more victims
who got kidnapped.
Do you have any additional information?
The police are refusing to
share any information
regarding the additional victims.
However, according to an exclusive source,
1 of the 2 victims who got kidnapped
turned out to be Yoon,
a woman in her 20s
who was reported missing
two days ago in Onha-ri.
She disappeared near her
house on her way home.
The police received a report
from a family member
but didn't take any action
because they merely thought
she just ran away from home.
Therefore,
it seems like the police failed
to take action during the golden hour.
(Yoon Ye Rim, Female, 25 years old)
The prosecutor general is going
to make an urgent announcement.
Let's go ahead and hear it.
Wait.
Did you do well on the test?
I don't know.
What about you?
I didn't know a lot of the questions.
We'll be fine.
If you fail the test, you die after sunset.
I'm sure
I'm sure it'll be either one of us.
Where light quickly fades away.
They lost them at the junction.
Metro is starting with
the villas in Onha-ri.
(Onsang-ri, Onha-ri)
(Test, 90)
(Test, 75)
I I got 75 on the test.
I didn't pass 90,
so I need to study a bit more.
I need to get over 90 in order to die.
I can memorize everything!
I'll study harder!
Why is SWAT unavailable?
We got separate orders from headquarters.
We can't help you this time.
Hurry up and get in!
Let's talk later.
Please don't do this!
Do you think he didn't know
that humans would betray him?
This is where you can find
the logical contradiction.
The skies are either incompetent
or indifferent.
Since the beginning of history,
almost all religions
made a crucial mistake
of interpreting prophecies too literally.
And as a result,
it turned into a foolish belief
and eventually led their

How did you get up there?
Be quiet. I'll go outside
and call the police.
- I want to go with you.
- Please be quiet.
Take me with you! Please!

Hurry up! Let me go with you!
Take me with you! Please!
Please take me with you!
Please help my girl.
Please save my little girl.

Isn't that the definition of a failure?
How dare you get cute
with a true professional?
The regional investigation
unit caught the perp.
Something's not right.
I knew we'd cross paths someday.
How about we talk?
