Jin Jae Gyu escaped through
the secret passageway.
Jin Jae Gyu used paste bait
to lure us in.
By leaving hints next to the bodies.
It wasn't Oh Seok Do either.
- Jerk.
- He was touched by you too.
Don't you know who I am?
I'm Cho Sung Dong, the man
who leads the press of this country!
Freeze!
Don't even make a move,
or I'll bury a bullet in your head.
Snap out of it.
Snap out of it!
Wait.
Where are we?
Det. Oh.
I can't remember
no matter how hard I try.
I feel like
I saw someone.
The security cameras are down.
The lines were cut even before
we broke in.
Senior Superintendent Han, we've
stationed men at the secret passage.
How many?
We have six for now,
but we're trying to get more.
Arrest him before he enters
the passage.
We need to check
for the victim's bloodstains.
Confiscate his clothes and shoes.
"Victim"?
Cho Sung Dong was attacked.
Should we call an ambulance?
No, just the forensics team.
I can't see anything important.
As if it's been cut out
with a razor blade.
How strange.
He can control people's memories
at will.
We should've realized it
with Park Gi Dan's case.
I can't believe it
although it's happening to me.
He was killed with a fountain pen.
He was punished with a pen for
the crimes he committed with a pen.
This will be the end
for the criminal.
(Episode 8: Red Herring)
Did you track
the motorcycle's line of movement?
Not yet.
The metropolitan police
situation room is on it too.
What about the secret passage?
We've sent everyone possible
and they're on standby.
Warn all of them that
Jin Jae Gyu has a superpower
that can erase memories.
Pardon? Can he erase memories?
Tell them to avoid
physical contact if possible.
- Yes, ma'am.
- This is a message to everyone.
The target has the ability
to erase memories.
I repeat.
The target has a superpower,
so be cautious not to contact him.
- He can erase memories.
- Was it really a superpower?
Sir.
He's coming.
He's on his way.
I found him.
Where?
This is 5km away
from Jin Jae Gyu's house.
But this was 50 minutes ago.
"50 minutes ago"?
What direction was he going?
Towards his house.
- What?
- Then this is before our stakeout.
Sir, I see a person here.
- There's someone in his garden.
- Who?
The times don't match.
He disappeared after erasing
Old Man's memories 80 minutes ago.
Then when we left
the secret passage
He had returned
after killing Cho Sung Dong.
We missed him by a hair.
We should've stayed there.
Don't let him find out
we know about the secret passage.
That'll be our final card
to set a trap.
Hey.
Is there already a second victim?
How did you give orders
to your accomplice?
- Accomplice?
- Did you think giving him orders
while you were indoors
would clear your name?
Accomplice?
It could be the opposite.
He may look like
he's the mastermind,
but he's nothing more than a puppet
who follows orders.
He may just be a pathetic puppet
that's used as bait.
You're upset
as always.
I understand
that Det. Dong is upset.
People he's touched
are dying left and right.
But not you.
- Cut that nonsense.
- There's no reason to be upset.
Your father broke
his co-workers' trust.
What?
He betrayed them.
He represented 2,000 laborers
who were fired, but in court,
he gave a false testimony
that went against the labor union.
- Shut it.
- Thousands of fathers
were on the streets, jobless.
However, he received a hefty sum.
On top of that,
he was given a new job.
- Shut that mouth.
- Countless families broke apart.
They crumbled
due to illnesses and depression.
When the 17th unemployed worker
committed suicide,
karma did its job.
He was stabbed 17 times.
How did you know that?
The number of times he was stabbed
was never revealed.
Have you ever wondered
why your father betrayed everyone?
Answer my question.
It was because of you.
He had to support
his genius daughter.
Good books, good schools,
promises he made to his late wife
It's obvious.
Fathers become corrupt
for their children.
You can't possibly know
his thoughts
- if you weren't his murderer
- I met him.
I met his revengeful spirit.
- What?
- You sure know how to blabber.
The Executioner was the happiest
when he murdered your father.
What a sick psycho.
Mr. Jin Jae Gyu,
you're under arrest
without warrant
for plotting Cho Sung Dong's death.
You have the right to remain silent.
What's the easy way?
A memory scan?
Scan me.
- Do you mean it?
- Of course.
Why the sudden change of mind?
Because the victims
have been chosen.
Even the third one.
Two have died already.
There's only one left.
The last one will die
before the end of the month
because you have touched them.
Sign it.
"I, Jin Jae Gyu, agree to be scanned
by Detective Dong Baek."
"I am aware that my memory
can be used as evidence."
(Jin Jae Gyu)
- Go.
- Hyun Soo.
Why is he here?
The bus driver said
no one was home.
Then you should've called.
It's the kindergarten's fault.
I never told them
he could watch Hyun Soo.
You should get back.
I can't take care of your greenhouse
from now on.
Let's go.
My reputation has been tainted
thanks to you.
Did you even have one to begin with?
The Lord's words
It's a curse.
Anyone you touch will die.
Det. Dong!
Det. Dong!
Wake up! Det. Dong!
Hello?
No, not yet.
Yes.
Okay.
Call me Manager Kim.
Why is the NIS here?
I didn't know you could read minds
without touching them.
NIS agents are intelligent fools.
You only mentioned your title.
Only swindlers and NIS agents
do that,
but you guys don't know that.
I'm sorry for the late introduction.
I've been in charge
of monitoring you for some time now.
I didn't ask for that.
This is your third time.
You've fainted for the third time.
One of those times
was when you were beaten.
But the other two happened
while you were reading memories.
So what? Will you offer me
a checkup or something?
Yes. It's already done.
They couldn't find anything,
but I'm sure this is a warning.
We believe your condition
will worsen if you continue.
Mind your own business.
I'll take care of myself.
You're a national asset.
Not at all. You guys just want
to use me as a weapon.
You won't be able
to keep your job anyway.
You'll be found guilty.
If you're done rambling,
you may leave.
I'm not asking you to quit your job.
We'll help you keep it.
Don't you know the government
can't get involved
in court affairs these days?
You're right.
But we can change
the public sentiment.
After all, that's our specialty.
Even if you're found guilty,
you'll still keep your job.
What's the condition?
Nothing much. You just need
to help us every now and then.
You could also help our research.
Or
you could help our country
when we're in need of dire help.
I'll just pay for what I've done.
I'm not cheap like that.
Don't you feel the happiest
when you catch criminals?
I hope we'll never meet again.
I'm sure NIS agents
have committed sins as well.
Don't make me humiliate you
by exposing your memory.
You don't need to get all worked up.
Baek, you're up.
I'll see you around. Get well soon.
- Who was that?
- A mole.
- A mole?
- Why did an NIS agent visit you?
- Where are my clothes?
- You need to rest.
You finally woke up after four days.
Four days?
What happened to Jin Jae Gyu?
We arrested him without warrant
and interrogated him for 48 hours.
But the warrant was denied,
and he was set free once again.
What?
Guess who his lawyer is?
It's Lim Joong Yeon, that scumbag.
Unlike how he appears,
he must be really wealthy.
He probably spent
millions of dollars.
I think the RIU is setting a trap.
They're going to catch him
red-handed
when he comes out
of the secret tunnel.
Did the forensics team not search
the tunnel?
Of course, they did.
But they couldn't find
Cho Sung Dong's DNA.
Do you think he'll be stupid enough
to come out of there once again?
They thought that far
and searched the place
while Jin Jae Gyu was detained.
They think
it may come into use later.
The Special Investigation
is doing everything they can.
We have less than a week
until the end of the month.
- And Senior Superintendent Han?
- I don't know.
I haven't seen her
ever since she was removed.
I'm having a hard time these days
since I can't see her.
- You could be her dad.
- Exactly.
I'm concerned about her like
a father would for his daughter.
Why did you have
to interpret it like that?
You need to rest.
Prof. Ahn and the medical team
are panicking.
They're trying to figure out
why you keep fainting.
That scumbag has superpowers.
He could control what I could see
when I scanned him.
What?
What? Does that mean
he's more powerful than you?
You may actually die.
(Green Moving
Will Make Your Life Easier)
Watch your distance.
Don't let him touch you.
I knew it.
I'm destined to do field work.
Wait a minute!
- Wait a minute!
- Sir, stop!
Only 1 parrot is chasing him.
I repeat. There's only 1 parrot.
Backup.
Help the parrot!
Roger that. Turn the car around.
He's heading north
from the bus stop.
Keep this channel available.
Backup is on the way, so relax.
He's in the elevator.
I'm checking which floor.
Eighth floor.
I'm going up right now.
Eighth floor, got it.
I'm sorry, but we're closed today.
- Sorry?
- We're closed.
I'm sorry.
I lost him.
He's not at the gym
on the eighth floor.
Are you not getting in?
Parrot. Parrot.
What's wrong with this?
She's in the elevator.
Parrot, answer me. Parrot!
Are you going to the parking lot?
Sorry?
Yes.
By the way, which way
are you headed?
It's still under construction,
so there aren't any cars.
Okay. The third-floor basement.
Yes, sir.
- Take a look.
- How much are the potatoes?
- This is 10 dollars per bag.
- Can I take half?
- Take it all. It won't rot.
- Please give me a discount.
You should take it all.
Don't worry, it won't rot.
- Just a little discount.
- It's too hard for me.
- I'll buy more next time.
- Gosh.
It's Mr. Jin.
I'm giving you a good price.
I'll take half, then.
Parrot.
Where are you? Parrot?
Darn it!
Hey. Wake up, wake up.
Where am I?
Please send an ambulance
to the third-floor basement.
Don't you remember?
You were tailing him.
No, I went to bed after work.
- What?
- What about your gun?
Where's your gun?
Your gun.
- I won't sell like this again.
- Thank you.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
Come and take a look.
Welcome.
Hyun Soo?
Hyun Soo!
Hyun Soo! Hyun Soo!
Confirm the location of the target.
Sorry, sir.
We're searching everywhere.
- It's the target.
- What?
Have you seen my son?
My son said he saw you
at the market.
- I'll call the police.
- He paid the price.
He just paid the price
in place of his ancestor.
- What do you mean?
- It was passed down to him.
The price your mother
should have paid.
- What do you mean?
- Can't you tell
who I am?
What do you mean?
When you were young,
I raised you.
Where's the boy?
You touched that kid
with your dirty hands, didn't you?
He's now qualified.
- What?
- To become the third scapegoat.
If something happens to him,
I'll kill you.
He was cursed because of you,
so why would I
He's still here.
It'll be tonight.
You better hurry.
The third murder
is going to happen tonight.
Come here. Come out here, you jerk!
- Calm down.
- Let me go. Let me go.
- I said, let me go!
- Baek.
Come to your senses!
What do I do?
He's a devil.
How long did you live with him?
Until I was nine.
You were young.
How are you so sure it was him?
Before my grandma passed away,
I said this like a habit.
Mom never committed suicide.
He's the one who killed her,
and that the psychopath
will kill us all.
What does the family register say?
Her mother's name was Sim Hyo Sook.
She died in 1992.
She ran away with another man
while living with Jin Jae Gyu.
- The two of them committed suicide.
- They found her handwritten will.
I'm sure he killed her.
How are you so sure? It's just
what your grandmother said.
Because she witnessed it.
It was just before Mom ran away.
I'm sure it was around then.
She went into town for work
every day.
He was my stepfather
and he was always home.
I received a puppy for my birthday.
The day he was brought back
after going to the vet
Dad?
My mom ran away from home
right after that.
More than having my mom gone,
being alone with him scared me more.
Because of what you saw
in the forest?
No, I was always scared of him.
He was so cold to me.
He became even colder
after Mom disappeared.
He was away for a couple of days,
then I heard him return one night.
He had found Mom.
He brought the necklace back to me.
But I only realized much later
what happened then.
Cheer up.
I ran off to my grandma's house
right then.
Jae Gyu, I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Please don't kill me.
Mom's skeleton was found hanging
along with her boyfriend's.
Please don't kill me.
But I know
she was killed
in his hands.
Your memories are so clear.
How come you couldn't recognize him?
Even the house is the same.
I was only nine years old.
How can I remember everything?
It's natural to forget.
What's strange is that some details
are very clear.
How did you come
to this neighborhood?
Because this is
where my husband lives.
What a strange coincidence.
Hey, what time did you say
your husband boarded his plane?
At 12pm. We were on our way back
after seeing him off.
We'll be able to call him
in the evening.
This is no time
to look for my husband.
You have to arrest Jin Jae Gyu
and find my son.
Let's arrest him again.
Arrest who?
You failed to interrogate him twice.
What will you do with him?
Catch him at the murder scene
when he leaves
through the secret passage.
A child's life is at stake.
They only executed garbage.
He's trying to take his revenge
on the kid's mother.
Det. Dong.
Leave the kid to the station
in charge, and focus on the passage.
He already warned us he would kill!
That's his trick.
He'll make us turn to the kid
then attack us where we're weak.
The Executioner kills only those
who deserve to die.
It sounds like you know
the Executioner very well.
Who let him in?
Kick him out.
Please leave.
He'll strike Oh Seok Do first,
but keep watching the others.
Every single name on the list
who Det. Dong touched.
Yes, sir.
He might be able to erase memories,
but he can't erase videos.
Record everything in real-time
while on the watch.
Are you crazy?
There's a limit to how much
you can ignore your position.
He's number two of the Seoul
Metropolitan Police Agency.
I'm only trying to get my pension
after working here until retirement.
Does that bother you that much?
Just shoot me, then.
If I die on the job,
at least they'll pay for
my youngest's tuition.
Your youngest is smart,
so I bet a scholarship is in store.
Right?
(Han Sun Mi)
What did you do? You didn't
come to the hospital to see me.
Are we close enough to visit
each other at the hospital?
No, I guess you're right.
I was investigating.
You sound laid back.
I didn't talk back
to Deputy Chief Lee like you
and end up revealing our plan.
You got kicked out,
but you have a loyal spy, don't you?
- What did you gain from this?
- Half.
- "Half"?
- What did you see in his memories?
- The secret passage.
- What else?
That's all. Everything else was
an illusion he was tricking me with.
Just the secret passage?
He could control what I saw.
His superpower is much stronger
than yours.
Must you
poke where it hurts?
He can erase memories
and control them too.
What is the half you gained?
I analyzed the message
left on Cho Sung Dong's body.
Was there a clue
for the next murder?
No. There was no bait at all.
Are you sure you didn't fail
to find it?
Until now,
he only left intuitive clues
so we could find the next victim
right away.
But, there wasn't anything
on Cho's corpse.
What's the point when he
already mentioned the little kid?
What if it's a trick?
As Deputy Chief Lee said,
what if it's a red herring
to steal our attention?
- Red what?
- Red herring.
Red herring.
In the past,
criminals used red herring
to get rid of their tails
since it smells so nasty.
It's bait to make naive hounds
like you turn the wrong way.
How beautiful.
Don't you find it strange?
Two people who lost their parents
to him are chasing him together.
It's a strange coincidence.
- Like you said, it's a coincidence.
- Of course, it is.
But only up to when we chose
to join the police.
However, it's not a coincidence
we were lured into the same case.
That's obvious.
He left clues on purpose
to lure us in.
But when we showed up,
he acted like he knew nothing.
I hope you can stop it.
- At the same time,
- The third murder
he would explicitly act
like a psychopath.
In the end,
he revealed his superpower.
- Just get to the point.
- What do you think is his purpose?
What's his big picture
for luring the two of us in?
Revenge. What else?
- "Revenge"?
- What else could it be?
The Executioner's murders
were all based on revenge.
He punished those who deserved it
in place of the world.
That's why he exists.
It wasn't enough
that our parents died.
This huge game can't be explained
otherwise.
He's trying to make the kids pay
for the grudge from 20 years ago.
The three of our parents
were involved.
- "Three"?
- This includes Shim Sang Hwa.
Because her mother ran away
with another man?
It can't be a simple case
of blind love.
I'm sure there's a secret.
It could be the opposite.
He might be looking for an excuse
to avenge in order to murder.
The Executioner has an excuse
to murder
under the pretext that it's just.
Is that what you gained?
Is there no proper explanation
for this enormous revenge?
What if the third target
isn't the boy?
Who is it, then?
What if
it's me?
The rabbit hole is quiet.
Nothing significant to report.
I repeat. The rabbit hole is quiet.
Roger.
- How about the GPS?
- It's working normally.
All detectives on site,
act first and report later
according to the wolf's movements.
How many GPS trackers
did we install?
We have two each on the suspect's
car and the motorcycle.
- Is that enough?
- He could notice it with more.
I thought they were as big
as a fingernail.
He's a hard match for us.
He connected us together
all this time.
Then his target must be us.
I was in physical contact
with you too.
You don't have to look so worried.
I'm not worried.
I'm just telling you it's possible.
What I gained is something else.
So what was it?
The accomplice.
"The accomplice"?
It's going to be a long night.
Thank you for your hard work.
- Keep up the good work.
- Yes, sir.
Get to work.
Put that up on the screen.
Hey. Darn it!
It kept bugging me.
Why would such a meticulous guy
leave traces of the water pump?
Maybe it was intentional.
Was the secret passage made
in order to hide his accomplice?
Read my memory.
He showed you the secret passage
when you scanned him
for the same reason.
So who is the accomplice?
That empty building used to belong
to a foreign corporation.
It was
a multinational paper company.
We hacked all the Chinese
government sites and found a lead.
A police officer was responsible
for hacking?
It wasn't for the investigation.
It was to save the kid.
So?
The person in charge of funding
that paper company
returned four years ago.
Shim Sang Hwa's husband?
Yoon Hee Tae.
Her husband used her to
He's not the real dad.
Since he married Shim Sang Hwa,
who was a single mom.
He didn't get on that plane.
He's probably near Jin Jae Gyu,
receiving orders from him.
Yoon Hee Tae committed murder too?
He's not just an ordinary guy.
We even found connections
with him to criminal organizations.
Jin Jae Gyu is really targeting
that kid?
Due to blind love from 20 years ago?
It's not something to overlook.
He'll make up any kind of excuse
for his sadistic pleasure.
So where are we headed right now?
Their hideout.
Jin Jae Gyu and Yoon Hee Tae's
real hideout.
Don't worry.
We dispatched the SWAT team
to look for him.
What is that sound?
That's my husband's ring tone.
Did he leave his phone behind?
No, I'm sure he took it.
Hold on.
(Unidentified Number)
It's my husband's phone.
(Unidentified Number)
- Listen to me carefully.
- What is going on?
- Honey, Hyun Soo is gone
- Just listen.
- Are you with Hyun Soo?
- Come out through the back door.
- What?
- Run away now!
Mr. Yoon. We're the police.
Stay here.
Where did the kid disappear?
Yoon Hee Tae owns dozens of
properties under borrowed names,
and they're all located
in secluded areas.
Since he disappeared here,
there's a high possibility.
- What about a warrant?
- What warrant?
Do it your style.
- And take all the blame?
- You'll receive an extenuation.
Since you know what you're doing.
You're even crazier than me.
He climbed over a wall.
The secret passage was a trick.
He broke into their home.
Ms. Shim has been kidnapped.
Darn it. Seriously.
Sir. My phone
- What phone?
- My phone is in the car.
We have a signal on the phone.
It's moving fast towards Incheon.
He's running away.
Block all the airports and ports.
The kid isn't here.
Judging by his character,
there's probably another secret
Let's go.
Open it.
I didn't know you'd make it here.
Thanks to a high-tech world.
Turn around and get on your knees.
Don't touch him
when you handcuff him.
It'll take five minutes
for backup to arrive.
Getting rid of you two
and getting on a boat
will take me only three minutes.
1 minute 50 seconds.
That's plenty of time.
You'll rot in jail
for the rest of your life.
Jin Jae Gyu
Jin Jae Gyu came to my house
and I ran away.
I went to the place
my husband told me to go to.
My son was inside the car.
He said we had to leave
this place immediately.
He told me
that's how we would be safe.
Ms. Shim. Where is your husband?
We promised to meet
at the passenger terminal.
1 minute 30 seconds.
He has a knife!
Hold on.
I'll call an ambulance.
You jerk!
Were you planning on
killing a kid too?
You failed.
The kid and his mom are both safe.
What?
We found them before
they left the country.
What did you say?
What?
Are you disappointed?
No
Wait Wait.
Something's not right.
Something doesn't add up. Wait.
Wait
No.
(Come back)
No No.
Remember
you're the only one who can protect
Sang Hwa and Hyun Soo.
Never forget that.
Sang Hwa Let Sang Hwa go.
Let Sang Hwa go.
He
wasn't trying to kill them.
He was trying to protect them.
Shim Sang Hwa's family.
From the real murderer.
From From the Eraser.
Eraser?
No!
No! No!
No!
A group assault from 20 years ago.
Don't trust all of
Jin Jae Gyu's memories.
I'm sure that incident occurred.
The real culprit is someone else?
You don't trust my memory, do you?
I'm certain he was near Jin Jae Gyu.
- Are you sure?
- A black face
and red eyes.
He died due to choking.
The moment Jin Jae Gyu's memory
began to get erased.
The moment the murderer
first appeared.
The survivor.
