Memorist (2020) s01e07 Episode Script

1
(Memorist)
(All characters, organizations,
places, and events are fictional.)
The mask. The silicon mask.
Prosthetic makeup.
He purposely made sure
there were witnesses.
Wait.
Why Jo Sung Dong?
These scoops
He wasn't alone.
The cameraman who got there second.
He's currently living at a place
that's only 20 minutes away by
foot from Yeom Hwa Ran's place.
What are the police
doing here at this hour?
"The police"?
How do you know
who we are?
You came here with the
telepathic investigator.
What brings a celebrity
like you to my place?
You don't seem startled at all.
It's like you were expecting us.
Was I supposed to be startled?
Petty criminals get scared
the moment they see me.
But some can be very bold
depending on how cruel of
a crime they've committed.
I knew you'd come.
How?
Stop.
I'm currently taking care of my garden.
It's to make up for not being around.
How did you know we'd come?
Because I had a dream
a long time ago after meeting
you, Detective Dong.
I knew you were a man of many talents,
but premonitions didn't
seem like one of them.
It seems like you know a lot about me.
Because I also had a premonition
about coming across a
former photographer
who kills while wearing a mask.
A killer?
Jin Jae Gyu.
There are an easy way and a hard way
both of which will well
wrap up our encounter.
- What's the easy way?
- A memory scan.
- Why?
- Don't you know?
You said you knew we'd meet.
I'm afraid my gift doesn't extend that far.
Your gift?
We're investigating a serial murder,
and a lot of the evidence points to you
as the killer.
Like what?
The serial killer came
out of a 20-year hiatus
right around the time
you came back to Korea.
What a coincidence.
A memory scan will clear
you of all charges.
I decline.
Sure.
I bet you're guilty.
It just doesn't seem right.
So you'll choose the hard way.
If I must.
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
As of this moment, we will begin
the search and seizure of your residence.
Enter.
As the law states,
you have the right to stay
and observe our actions.
Search the place.
(Memorist)
(Ep 7: Memory Eraser)
Why is it so dark in here?
I thought the place has
been vacant for 20 years.
You may enter now.
- There's nothing here.
- Right.
Not even a TV.
Did you think you were serving justice
by killing people?
Is this part of an official interrogation?
Just consider it as a personal question.
A personal question?
Then that surprises me.
It seems like you rely
on Detective Dong a lot.
That's odd since you don't
seem like the type
to believe in the supernatural powers.
The killer seems to know me well.
I guess I can say that about you too.
I only looked into your soul, that's all.
- Into my soul?
- That's right.
I apologize if I made you uncomfortable.
I wonder how long you'll
be able to joke around.
We're looking,
but we haven't found anything solid.
People like him would never
discard murder weapons.
He probably saved them like souvenirs.
Here. Let me.
Let it be. It's just the drain.
Gosh.
I'd love to have a hot
bowl of soup right now.
- You had five sandwiches.
- They were tiny!
What if he already got rid of the evidence?
- You think Ms. Han is wrong?
- We haven't found anything.
The clever lady is
barking up the wrong tree?
Sir.
Ms. Han, good job today.
The warrant expires at sundown.
Even people as old as me are pitching in,
but there he is eating his sandwiches.
Leave him be.
It's better than him causing trouble.
He just doesn't know how
to be considerate, does he?
Hold on. It seems like he's
about to cause trouble.
That's a big chimney for
a house without a furnace.
It's for a fireplace.
Am I the only one who finds this weird?
There is no fireplace on the first floor.
Then the second floor.
A fireplace should be on the first floor
since hot air travels upward.
It hasn't even been used either.
The killings will continue.
What?
Three more will die.
One
by one.
Brutally.
What the
What is all of this?
Ma'am. They found a secret room.
What
That jerk offered up the victims
as an offering.
Several people.
Arrest him.
Yes, ma'am.
You are under arrest for serial murder.
You have the right to remain silent.
You may defend yourself,
so get yourself a lawyer and
keep fighting if you want.
You sick psycho. Get up.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
I heard he's speaking.
- Yes, after a full day.
- What did he say?
He wants to speak with Detective Dong Baek.
Tell me whose skeletal
remains were in the altar.
- I'll deal with him.
- No.
He says he'll tell me everything!
We'll have the forensics report soon.
We should send him in.
It'll be a headache if he loses
his temper and attacks him.
I won't lose my temper!
You already did.
Then we'll make sure he can't attack him.
That should do.
What is it with the handcuffs?
My fist shoots out instinctively
when I see garbage.
Good thing you became a cop.
You'd be in jail otherwise.
Don't worry about others.
But I am worried about you.
Did you have that sickening
smile on your face
when you killed people too?
Don't get worked up.
Were the murders 20 years ago
also an offering to your deity?
Is that what you're talking about?
The Executioner?
The Executioner?
Don't ask. Don't let him take the lead.
How do you know about the Executioner?
Don't you live with that strange feeling,
knowing the truth is laid out
everywhere, but only you know it.
At times, it's pride,
but sometimes, it's loneliness.
That endlessly strange and lonely feeling.
Can you scan memories too?
No, I'm not.
I don't have telepathy like you.
You're a shaman?
I can peek into the truth a little.
I was able to hear the deity
through long prayer and penance.
You're really a shaman?
Labels aren't important.
Soothsayers, prophets,
things like that don't matter.
What the deity says is what matters.
What a bunch of nonsense.
Nonsense.
I thought you of all people
would understand.
You say you hear divine revelations,
but you didn't know you'd be mocked?
I thought you wanted to know about
the woman who was hit by a claw
hammer and died 20 years ago?
Weren't all the victims from back then men?
All of them were men.
You want to know, right?
That pretty woman
who was dying.
She was your mom, right?
Mom?
It was you.
You killed her.
It was your fault.
She died because of you.
Don't give me that nonsense.
You drew danger upon yourself.
Don't lose your cool.
- Why did you kill her?
- His wrath
You're the murderer.
- The murders will continue.
- Get him out.
Was she really my mother?
More will be murdered.
Was she my mother? Tell me!
Three more will die
before the month is over.
Tell me, you scumbag!
The people cursed because of
you will die brutal deaths!
Stop changing the subject! Let go. Let go.
Tell me. Tell me, you jerk!
- Get him out.
- No!
We have the lab results.
The skeletons were from animals.
There was no human DNA.
We'll have to detain him and investigate.
Will we get a detention warrant?
He merely went to the crime
scenes as a photographer.
We'll have to try.
He mentioned the woman's death himself.
What's this about your mom?
We need to include everything
so we can get the warrant.
Tell him about your childhood memory.
What do you want to put down?
I think I saw a woman die 20 years
ago, and that psycho
pretending to be a shaman knew that?
We'll assume we can't detain
him and investigate accordingly.
We must have all available
officers watch him closely.
Watching him is fine,
but we need to find evidence.
He will kill again just as he prophesied.
- Do you believe him?
- Yes, I do.
And he'll proudly kill three more people.
You don't know when he'll act.
We can't just watch him forever.
He said before the month ends,
three will die.
We have 10 days left in the month.
He'll act before then.
He seemed confident.
He has a trick up his sleeve.
He's not the only one who is confident.
I have no intention of losing either.
(Criminal Department)
Thank you. It's kind of you
to see me out like this.
I wanted to get rid of the stench.
We'll soon meet again.
By the way,
the stench is actually
coming from something else.
What?
You're both surrounded
by vindictive spirits.
Do you never stop talking nonsense?
Two women
had to kill each other.
Because if they didn't,
they would've gotten killed
by the murderer.
If you're so confident,
leave behind some evidence.
The vindictive spirts are warning you.
Someone's going to get murdered
tonight.
I hope you stop it.
If you can, that is.
You will be responsible
for that death.
- What?
- You're right.
I'll be the one sending you to jail.
Tonight?
How interesting.
He's crazier than expected.
He's going to do something tonight.
He just wants to play a game.
He's trying to prove
that he's superior than us.
(Green Moving)
Don't even lose him for a second
so we can stop him from
meeting an accomplice.
Got it, ma'am.
Gosh, whatever.
I don't care if we lose him.
What? There's going to be a murder tonight.
Look at the previous murders.
They were brutally murdered.
He's the Executioner.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone
really gets murdered tonight.
It's fine as long as we're safe.
But
What is he doing in the dark?
Do we have infrared cameras?
No. It's not showing on the
thermal image camera either.
There are dozens of cops there.
He can't murder anyone.
The sun's up.
Check all the new cases.
There are a few accidental deaths
Ms. Han.
Someone got murdered.
- "Murdered"?
- Who is it?
The victim is someone you know.
I came at dawn to pack my stuff
because I didn't want to run into him.
But when I got here
Someone's going to get murdered
tonight.
Rape and blackmail.
A scumbag with a hammer tattoo.
Were you guys on bad terms?
Sir, can you please protect me?
I bet I'm the next target.
What is he doing?
- He heard a sound.
- "A sound"?
Do you think Jin Jae
Gyu is really a shaman?
It can't be him.
He was being watched by dozens of cops.
Shut it.
Maybe it was someone else.
This guy had a lot of enemies.
It's the Executioner.
He is punishing evil by
becoming evil himself.
He punished him by doing exactly
what he did to the victims.
Where do you think this ink came from?
How interesting.
He even recorded a video
of beating the guy to death.
My gosh.
Who's there?
Who are you?
Wait.
No, wait.
Wait. Please don't kill me.
What did I do wrong?
Can you rewind to the part where
he throws him on the ground?
I only see his feet.
Let's watch when he closes the window.
Okay.
Slowly.
Stop. Make it brighter.
As bright as possible.
- His face is black.
- What is that?
Is that a ghost?
A mask.
"A mask"?
We stayed up for nothing.
He's leaving the house.
I think he's going for a walk.
Field seven. We're on him.
He stopped walking at the
three-way intersection.
Do you think it was a copycat crime?
That's impossible. Only a few people in
the investigation unit are the ones
who know about the Executioner.
Then could it be an accomplice?
No, it can't be an accomplice.
He never met anyone.
- What about his call logs?
- Nothing.
He didn't email or call anyone.
We checked all the cell
phones in the neighborhood.
And we found nothing in particular.
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
My gosh.
Who wants to take a photo with Hodori?
- Me!
- Me!
- Who is the kid?
- I don't know.
It's a boy, but they all look the same.
They all look different.
Will you hurry up? I might lose my pension.
- Me!
- Me!
Here we go guys!
- It's my turn.
- Me too.
- What now?
- They're too thick.
- Unbelievable.
- Me!
- Can I go first?
- No, me first.
- Me!
- No. It's my turn.
Me next.
A kid from the neighborhood?
The kid's mom used to manage
Jin Jae Gyu's greenhouse.
That is how he used the kid's phone.
Did you conduct an illegal scan?
Don't get stuffy with me.
That isn't the issue at the moment.
We can't use tainted evidence.
I'm not part of the team anyway.
Get a warrant based on the
contact with the mother.
Head to Jin Jae Gyu's house
with the kid in two hours.
Otherwise, we will have
to wait for another week.
The warrant will take at least half a day.
I don't care how, but get it in two hours.
6424, please pull over.
Pull over.
It seems like you have a flat tire.
But I just had it inflated yesterday.
The engine oil is the issue.
I had that swapped out too.
Good job on that.
It's crucial to keep it that way.
My wife drives too,
but she never even washes her car.
(You have a new message.)
The warrant has been issued.
Begin the process.
Hello, ma'am.
It's me, the one and only telepath.
Would you like to take a photo with me?
Good.
Hi, kid. How about a photo?
Thanks.
Gosh.
Baek, why don't you hold the boy?
- Should I?
- Yes.
All right, here we go.
Can you smile more?
Maybe I should come closer.
Or maybe not.
(Download, Touch OK Button)
(Secure Messenger, Downloading)
We're good. Here we go then.
1, 2, 3.
Go to Mr. Jin.
Mr. Jin!
Hi, there.
Did you have fun on the phone I gave you?
Go and play then.
(H.S.M.O.R)
(H.S.M.O.R messenger)
It's an encrypted messenger
created by Russians.
It doesn't leave a trace.
That's how they've been communicating.
You can see who he's
been in contact with
by checking the app.
- What?
- Hold on.
Wait. No way.
(Will you remove this app?)
He deleted the app and
then rebooted the phone.
He must be onto us.
Darn it.
Is he really a shaman?
I have the call log.
The ones in red are by Jin Jae Gyu.
(Call Log)
They're the same number.
Who does it belong to?
It's a corporate number.
A broadcasting station.
A broadcasting station?
Customer inbound.
Can't tell if it's a regular.
How is it that you're here, Mr. Jo?
Would you like some tea?
Is there a problem?
Of course. Two accomplices
of a murder case are here.
Accomplices?
What are you here for?
You have no dignity, do you?
Anyway, I received a tip.
About a murder?
No, but something just as surprising.
I heard that the cheeky
young girl who came to me
was you.
You have a right to know
considering what you went through.
It'll make a perfect documentary.
The daughter of a murder victim
joins the police seeking revenge.
How dramatic.
- This is my duty.
- Then I applaud you.
So you'll knowingly receive
intel from a murderer?
Saying false truths about
me in front of others?
Does that count as defamation or contempt?
I wonder if you know
that Mr. Jin obtained an astonishing gift.
He just mentioned a secret of
mine that I haven't told others
which was surprising.
I was begging him to do
a special show with me.
Look at you being chummy with a killer.
Defamation it is then.
Are you truly a killer?
You see, I believe the Executioner
to be a gutsy person.
He burns animals that
the law couldn't punish.
It's like
having one of those incinerators
that people hate in my neighborhood.
If Mr. Jin is the Executioner,
I have to say it won't be so bad.
I can easily land an exclusive interview.
Who else but the Executioner
has seriously questioned
this nation's justice system?
You value ratings over people's lives?
People's lives?
Now that you mention it,
it seems like you're still in denial.
You won't admit that
your father deserved it.
- Shut it.
- Blood may be thicker than water,
but his life isn't worth taking revenge
- You scumbag.
- Is this how it'll be?
She's fulfilling her duty as a
cop and revenge is my specialty.
Understand?
You dare lay hands of an editor-in-chief?
Sue me then. It'll go on record how you
built your career by selling murder.
- You piece of
- Don't touch him.
Don't lay hands on other people.
- Want me to break your neck too?
- Don't you get it?
What do the three that
will die have in common?
You would've
made contact with them.
What are you talking about?
Three will die?
They will die
mercilessly.
As the moon gets fuller,
those who you have made
contact with will brutally die.
One is already dead,
and two will soon follow.
Will he really kill those you have touched?
Probably.
- What if it's a trick?
- It's obviously a trick.
He can't know whom I
physically contacted
unless he's a real shaman.
Then a random person No.
That's not his style.
Naturally, he has to kill someone
I came in contact with to win.
- Then
- Let's see
just how much he knows.
We'll return your phones once
the investigation is over.
Are you saying my kid's
phone was used for a crime?
What crime?
We can't share the details
of an ongoing investigation.
We need to know who it is.
You're saying that the
suspect is near our child.
We are watching the
suspect around the clock
We can't give you the
phone if you don't tell us.
Jin Jae Gyu.
Mr. Jin?
For what
Don't go anywhere near him.
How did you end up taking
care of his greenhouse?
A few months ago,
not long after he moved
here, he came to me.
He wanted to buy equipment.
I run a small export business.
Which equipment?
He said he was fixing up the house.
What was it? Yes. Water pump.
Water pump?
He said his basement had flooded.
I told him
it would be cheaper to rent,
but he insisted on buying it.
I don't usually do retail.
But I made an exception
since he was a neighbor.
Then he brought over a cell
phone a few days later.
He said he got it as a gift,
but he liked the one he had,
and gave it to our son as a gift.
That's when he saw that
I ran a flower shop,
and asked me to look after his greenhouse.
Why aren't you getting in?
That's everyone I touched.
Find out which of them he'll go after.
If by chance he really is a
shaman, that is.
Why am I not on this list?
I'll stay here.
I have more work to do.
- Hello?
- Turn on the news right now.
It's true.
(Colleague Police Officer)
Her father was murdered
because of a grudge.
She has been digging into
that cold case for years.
He was a terrible human being.
That's probably why he was killed.
It's very serious.
It means she was using her
authority for personal reasons.
It's not only against the law
for a victim to investigate
her personal case, it is improper.
The serious abuse of authority
by a victim's child
in improperly taking revenge.
We will look into it further tomorrow.
With TVC News, this is Park Sa Myung.
The report itself is trash too,
but the situation stinks as well.
The daughter of the Executioner's
victim is gnashing her teeth
after 20 years.
Gosh. But we're just sitting
here shuffling papers.
You and your stupid mouth.
Your mouth is the problem.
Gosh.
How's the cell phone
restoration coming along?
Forensics says it'll be
hard to finish today.
- Pressure them.
- We are, but
Field Nine. Two chicks entering
the wild dog's vicinity.
The yellow chicks changed their feathers.
He wants us to find a water pump.
He always orders around this old
man without any explanations.
Do you really not understand
why Baek picks on you
more than anyone else?
Don't say it's because I'm
such a magnanimous person.
No, it's because
you're a chump. You breed abusive people.
Are you taking after Baek?
You grumble, but you always take it.
That's why he won't stop.
I have a profound reason for it.
What profound reason?
To last until you retire? The pension?
Way deep down within this captain of yours,
I have a very profound
reason that I can't explain.
- You're just a chump.
- You punk.
- At least pretend you are working.
- Okay.
What should we do?
Let them be.
Field Nine. Don't follow the chicks.
Just watch them.
(Reassignment Notice)
Ma'am. You've been reassigned.
(Dismissal, New Assignment: TBD)
"To be determined"?
Operations Center. Sergeant Lee speaking.
Yes, sir. Understood.
Ma'am.
Headquarters wants you.
The first target is Han Sun Mi.
The final target is Dong Baek.
I want every reporter from
every department on this
full time.
Yes, sir. What are we trying
to uncover about them?
- It does not matter.
- Yes, sir.
Repeated assault is not enough.
We need something stronger and dirtier.
Find everything you can!
Should we dig into Dong
Baek's private life too?
"Should we?" Why you
Bring me everything!
You have your hidden card, right?
- A hidden card?
- Yes, I laid the groundwork.
- For what?
- They despise all reporters,
but I put in much effort
to install a pipeline.
It's solid.
The rookie?
You'd better do a good job.
Use a recorder, a hidden camera, anything.
Bring me dirt on Dong Baek at all costs.
Your future depends on this.
Why did you do it?
Do you know much about dogs?
The ones who bark first aren't confident
enough to bite.
The ones who are confident
attack quietly without barking.
I never knew you were an expert on dogs.
The media are dogs.
They can't even look you in the
eye if they see you in person,
but they bark as if they're brave
before the camera and with the pen.
Why? Because they know
that the more they bark,
TV, radio, and newspapers
will become a barrier and protect them.
So? Is that why you reacted
as soon as they barked?
What should you do to silence dogs?
You should crush their jaws.
That's why you're inferior.
If you kick one dog,
all the dogs in the area will bark.
Why?
Because that's the survival
instinct of those cowards.
You disappear
so they quiet down immediately.
It sounds like defeat and humiliation,
only glamorized.
What humiliation?
Isn't it humiliating to fire me
just because of a trashy report
when a serial killer is within our grasp?
Who fired you?
You are still in charge
of the special team.
Keep investigating.
- But
- You'll await assignment
at most for a week.
If you don't catch the killer by then,
I'll say I need you and reinstate you.
Even if you do catch the killer
before then, you announce it.
You'll continue to grow as the
icon of the police department
without a scratch.
I don't need the glory.
The next few hours are critical.
Keep investigating in secret.
I told Young Soo
that your orders will be sent
out as the head of Metro.
However, don't go to the station
for a week. Run it remotely.
Do you not like it?
Thank you.
You may go.
(Mr. Jo Sung Dong)
Are you close to Mr. Jo
Sung Dong by any chance?
What?
I met him once at an event. Why?
I wondered if you knew
each other for a while,
for example, for about 20 years?
Never mind.
(Mr. Jo Sung Dong)
(Call Logs)
I found out
Jin Jae Gyu's trick.
I heard it's been abandoned for years.
It was owned by a foreign corporation.
But yesterday,
the owner got switched to someone else.
To who?
It's a high school kid,
and it turns out he's Jo Sung Dong's son.
He's studying overseas,
and his mom went with him.
So Jo Sung Dong probably bought it for him.
Old man, I want you to
go meet Jo Sung Dong.
- Why?
- Ask him
why he accepted this building.
Accepted it from whom?
Jin Jae Gyu.
"Jin Jae Gyu"?
Act like you don't know that part.
Just ask him why he bought the building.
That guy is the head
of a broadcasting station.
Do you think he'll meet me?
He'll meet you if you
tell him that I sent you.
By the way, when are you going
to tell me your big picture?
He always hangs up once he's done talking.
Call Mr. Jo's secretary.
You're a fool who lets
him treat you this way.
I should just beat that punk.
How did you find this place?
The water pump.
Oh, right. The water pump.
I couldn't find a water pump in his house.
Let's request a search warrant
How did you find this place
with just a water pump?
"Operation Anthropoid".
"Operation Anthropoid"?
A movie about assassinating a
senior Nazi administrator
during World War 2.
The soldiers succeed in
assassinating their target,
but they get locked up
in a church basement.
But they continue to have hope
even though they get surrounded.
Why? Because they think
there's a secret passage
in the church basement.
"A secret passage"?
In the end, they failed to
find the secret passage.
And when the enemies started
pouring water into the basement,
they all committed suicide.
But what does that movie have
anything to do with this?
It was the only movie that he owned.
How could you tell just by looking at that?
The geology books helped me guess.
I can't believe he got inspired
and created an escape route.
He needed a water pump because
it kept filling with water.
That's why I searched for
the exit with a water pipe.
He tricked us by pretending
to warn us about the murders.
- He used to create an alibi
- Wait.
It's a greenhouse.
Let's set up a trap
- and wait for him to
- It's too late for that.
A motorcycle?
Jin Jae Gyu escaped
through a secret passage.
Track his motorcycle right now.
A real-time location tracing is impossible.
We restored the cell phone,
and it looks like he searched some names.
Choi Poong Won and Prosecutor Woo Seok Do.
Darn it.
They're both people who deserve to die.
- Please move out of the way.
- Out of the way.
- Conditional medical release again?
- Can you tell us what happened?
- Out of the way.
- Please move.
- Can you please tell us?
- Please get out of the way.
He did so many bad things but
continued to live a fancy life,
after requesting for a
conditional medical release.
Now is not the time to
Gosh, you jerk.
And he got in the way of the
investigation and killed Ye Rim.
But he got promoted to a chief prosecutor.
Prosecutor Woo is at the golf range.
He looks fine for now.
You touched them both,
