Memorist (2020) s01e11 Episode Script

1
(Memorist)
(All characters, organizations,
places, and events are fictional.)
It's the smell.
The smell of death.
This place reeks of it
even at this very moment.
Do it now. Shoot! Hurry up and shoot!
Do you want to die?
Shoot!
Shoot him now! Don't care
about me! Just hurry up and shoot!
Seal all the entrances and take the stairs.
You have no idea
how much I missed you.
You got shot, so take off
your mask and say hello.
Where are your manners?
Let's see what you've got.
I'll aim properly this time.
I'm impressed. You win.
If you admit that you lost,
get down on your knees.
Why weren't you able to do anything
when your mom died
right in front of your eyes?
Who are you?
Do you even remember how your mom died?
"Mom. Mom."
Mom.
Mom.
You son of a gun.
I remember it very clearly.
You cried like a little baby
in front of your dying mother.
Do me a favor.
Don't bother putting on those handcuffs.
And make a run for it.
I urge you to.
(SWAT)
Do not forget
my last words.
Don't use your energy
to talk and stay awake.
You must find it.
Don't forget
the meadow
(SWAT)
The meadow
The meadow?
He fell from the roof.
Send units to the back door!
The target is at the back
door on the first floor.
He's in a SWAT officer's uniform.
To the first floor.
The suspect is dressed as one of
us. All officers, take off your mask.
We lost them. The
target and Detective Dong.
I'll take responsibility.
Responsibility?
Just know this.
No one will be able to
take responsibility for this.
Even our dismissal from the force
won't be enough to avoid the back blast.
(Memorist: Ep 11, A Deep Wound)
(TVC takes the righteous
path to bring you fair telecasts.)
A suspect in police custody died.
The serial killer, the Eraser.
Those two phrases must be aired.
Contact all your sources
from the police department
and draw help from our other departments.
This must be the headline news.
Which should we go after first?
The Metropolitan
Investigation Unit, of course.
Make sure to add Dong Baek's name though.
Paint a picture of how this
is all because of people
like Dong Baek.
Sorry I'm late. Sorry.
You!
- Yes?
- Who said you could come in?
Me?
Did she do as the director asked?
You're banned from the newsroom.
But
Everyone said that Detective
Dong is done for anyway
- since he'll be found guilty
- So what?
Who do you think you are
to make these decisions?
I apologize, sir.
Until you find hard evidence
to bring Dong Baek down,
you are not to step foot in here again.
Now get lost!
(Captain Koo Kyung Tan)
(Captain Koo Kyung Tan)
(Officer Oh Se Hoon)
(Officer Oh Se Hoon)
(Word Puzzles)
He's learning at a fast pace
and his habits are still there.
Why won't he talk though?
He's probably experiencing
an identity crisis.
He'll need time to adjust to this.
I'm sorry that I have to say this,
but he's an interesting subject
from a researcher's perspective.
And that's why I won't
stop trying to help him.
Thank you.
(Word Puzzles)
(The Executioner Dies in Police Custody)
He was murdered while in police custody,
but the police weren't
able to identify the suspect
or find even a clue as to who he can be.
Jin Jae Gyu, the deceased,
was the prime suspect of the
Executioner serial murders
that occurred 20 years ago.
He hurt himself during the
trial validating his warrant
and was murdered while
being treated in the hospital.
There are only speculations of him
murdering six victims including
cult leader Park Ki Dan
and former TBC president Jo Sung Dong.
No hard evidence has
linked him to those cases.
Meanwhile, the so-called Eraser
was once suspected as Mr. Jin's accomplice,
but the murder of Mr. Jin
has kicked the case up in
the air according to sources
close to the police force.
An anonymous source
informed us that Detective Dong
was present at the scene too.
A high-ranking official
within the police force
The police weren't able
to prevent the murder
of a suspect who was in their custody.
During this morning's press briefing,
the police released an absurd statement
about the Eraser who killed Jin Jae Gyu
also being someone
with supernatural powers.
But just two hours later, they
changed their stance and
- recanted their earlier statement.
- I knew it.
Did they change their statement once again?
- How many times does this make?
- The police
- are once again scrambling.
- They'll catch no one at this rate.
This fact has the public outraged
and many are saying
that lives are being lost
due to their incompetency.
Hundred of thousands of citizens
- I knew it.
- Tell me about it!
Are you here to serve a
search and seizure warrant?
- Is it because of Jin Jae Gyu?
- Who is the suspect?
- Is it the entire unit?
- Which office are you from?
- Northern Prosecutors' Office?
- The Special Investigations Unit?
- Who is the suspect?
- Let me through.
- Make way!
- Please say a few words.
- Sir!
- Any words?
(Metropolitan Investigation Unit)
Everyone, stop what you're doing.
As of this moment, your
hands will not touch your desk.
Stay put. Hey, you!
Don't touch anything.
Don't touch anything. Don't you dare.
What is the meaning of this?
Isn't it obvious? This
is a search and seizure.
Not even a single piece of
paper can leave this room.
Move away from your desks immediately.
- Watch your manners.
- Bite me.
- What? No, don't stop me.
- Hey
A prosecutor has no
right to treat us this way.
And who said you can talk
back to a managing prosecutor?
Abuse of power in this day and age?
(Search and Seizure Warrant)
I didn't know you were here.
Your team must be taught manners.
Do what you came here to do and leave.
You brought this on your team.
You let Jin Jae Gyu die in your custody.
- Then arrest me.
- That doesn't sound so bad.
What did I tell you about being careful?
What is the meaning of this?
Deputy Chief Lee.
We finally meet.
What brings you here, Mr. Woo Seok Do?
I'm honored
that you recognize a lowly
managing prosecutor
whom your underlings disrespect.
How could I not know the
next Public Prosecutor General?
You were promoted to the
Central Prosecutors' Office.
You survived Im Joong
Yeon's scandal unscathed.
I forgot a warrant.
- Mr. Kim.
- Yes, sir.
Go to the courthouse
and get another warrant.
Include the deputy
chief's office in the search.
What do you think you're doing?
- Should we talk in my office?
- Why? Scared?
Why you little
I understand you are passionate,
but you should show dignity.
We prosecutors don't care about dignity
in front of suspects like them.
He isn't worth your time, sir.
- What?
- Want to make a bet?
That you leave empty-handed
Is that a joke?
I heard you were present last time
when they came to arrest
Detective Dong Baek.
- Move.
- Hold on.
This isn't the time
What about it?
You must know what the problem is.
I do not.
I won't make an issue
of it if you leave quietly.
I can't do that.
Send them the documents they need later.
- Yes, sir.
- You're quite the comedian.
You'll take responsibility
for assaulting a suspect, is that it?
(Assaulting a suspect is
punishable by up to 5 years in prison.)
And you have proof?
Shall we make a bet
whether I'm bluffing without evidence,
or whether I have a high-resolution video?
There's no way you do,
but do you think they'd
care even if you did?
True. The prosecutors
solely have the authority
to indict a suspect.
However, if that heinous
video were aired on the news,
even if you evade indictment,
you'll lose your job for sure.
Prosecutors
who get involved in scandals
end up going into the private sector.
Are you challenging me?
Want to make a bet?
Whether you'll leave quietly,
or whether we'll duke
it out, no-holds barred?
Pull out.
Excuse me?
- Remove the boxes.
- Yes, sir.
You're just as I've heard.
I'll be seeing you again soon.
I'm sorry, sir.
Report to the Prosecutors' Office.
Resign before then.
I will, but please give me
one week to investigate first.
- No, just three days
- Han Sun Mi.
- Yes, sir.
- Do you know
the top cause of the death
of soldiers during a war?
Stupid leaders.
Just like you.
The Metropolitan Investigation
Unit was humiliated because of you.
No. The entire police department.
And yet, you still can't let go?
You're a lawyer even if
you quit, but not the others.
It's my duty to make sure
they can feed their families.
If you keep resisting
and holding on regardless,
Young Soo will be fired
too. Is that what you want?
No, sir.
If you understood,
act accordingly.
You're home late.
Did you read my door code too?
What else did you peek at from my memories?
What do you take me for?
The four keys have
your prints all over them.
You're such a careless profiler.
Stop scowling, will you?
I came because I was worried
that the Eraser would be after you.
Once I die, everyone will
know who the Eraser is.
You know you don't need to worry, so leave.
I have nowhere to go.
Woo Seok Do put out an APB on
me, so they're at my home and at hotels.
He killed my mother.
I remember it very clearly.
You cried like a little baby
in front of your dying mother.
I don't care who dies. I'm
going to see an end to this.
How will you see an end to it?
He has been killing only infamous
villains like the Executioner.
- But?
- There was one exception.
Shimbae.
The decisive clue is in
the Shimbae incident.
The reason the Eraser
had to kill seven people.
Once I find that reason,
we'll be able to uncover
the Eraser's real identity,
and why he had to kill them
even if it meant revealing his power.
I need your help.
I've been kicked out
thanks to somebody losing the perp.
You're the one who lost him.
I risked my life and chased him.
It's my fault for trusting you.
Such an attitude. Anyway.
What I need isn't your title,
but your brain.
Didn't you say your brain
was the best in the world?
Of course, I'm as smart as Sherlock Holmes.
But you have your strengths too.
For example?
Knowledge of criminal
law which I do not have.
And logical reasoning
using an exceptional brain.
Do you admit I'm top-notch?
I'm saying you have
strengths and weaknesses.
Jin Jae Gyu made a dying statement.
What?
The Eraser is hiding
in Dong Baek's past.
What past?
The past?
Is that all?
All the leads led to dead ends.
Along with my childhood
memories that I lost.
Anyway, what we need
to dig into isn't my past,
but the Shimbae incident.
Do you really think that's the
past where the Eraser is hiding?
If he meant your mom's death,
it would be meaningless
since we all know about it.
- But
- But?
From what I saw
Don't care about me!
Just hurry up and shoot!
He wouldn't leave behind a
meaningless dying message.
It looks like you're empathizing
with Jin Jae Gyu's death.
The pain you had to go through
is part of my karma.
He might be
referring to a memory
that was never erased.
So you're saying the Eraser might exist
in my memory?
Does that even make sense?
You either didn't notice
because it was so common.
- Or
- Or what?
Or it was too shocking
that you failed to notice the surroundings.
That's where the Eraser is hiding.
I failed to notice
because it was too shocking?
(8 years ago)
A shocking moment
that made me forget about everything else.
The rooftop I went to when I was 19.
Can you do it somewhere else?
I heard taking off your
shoes is a message
asking people to notice your death.
Is that what it is?
No, that's not it.
Can you do it somewhere
else? This is my spot.
Ms. Han, Dong Baek has put
you through a lot, hasn't he?
You punk. Look how
exhausted she is because of you.
He really has a way of tiring people out.
- You haven't eaten yet, have you?
- Were you being tailed?
- No, of course not.
- We're professionals.
Can you explain this situation?
You didn't ask her for permission?
I was just about to ask,
but you suddenly showed up.
Ms. Han, we have new information.
Yes, we have important information.
I'm so starving.
So I forgot to tell you.
Excuse me.
It's an emergency situation.
We checked the people
who died at Shimbae City.
Not everyone lived at Shimbae City,
and they were all going
to different universities.
So it's weird that they all
died on the same day and time.
And?
But they all had something in common.
- What's that?
- Private tutoring.
It turns out they received
private tutoring in a small group
ever since they were in kindergarten.
Our team already knew that.
- That's amazing.
- I see.
The family of the deceased
are all pretty rich and powerful.
But none of them were
willing to answer our questions.
- Why not?
- How would I know?
So what is it that you found out?
Baek, isn't it weird?
They were only 20 years
old, and 7 of them died.
But not a single family
complained about their deaths.
And?
But there was one guy that caught
my eye among the seven kids.
(Personal Details of the Deceased)
- "So Philip"?
- Yes.
I remembered where I saw that name.
- Where?
- Don't you remember?
You asked me and Captain Koo
to find information on the cold case.
- The SMPA archives?
- Yes.
I saw his name on one
of the official documents.
(Suffocated to death, So Philip and 6 more)
It's an unusual name.
"So Philip".
(Special Investigations
Unit for Cold Cases)
But it doesn't make sense.
No one did an internal investigation
regarding the Shimbae City case.
Then why did they ask for the
internal investigation results?
That means someone erased
all the remaining traces
of the investigation.
You need to be really brave
to have the guts to erase police records.
I wonder what it was that
the person was trying to hide.
"Chun Ki Soo"?
You're Kim So Mi?
The girl from six years ago?
What an interesting connection.
The team leader back then was
a guy I know named Chun Ki Soo.
Old Man, you told me you know him, right?
I called him earlier, but he
told me he took the day off.
So I agreed to meet him tomorrow morning.
Do you think he got rid of
the investigation records?
We'll find out.
Maybe he was onto something.
Let's see how much of this he knows.
Good job.
Gosh, you're embarrassing me.
What about me?
What do you say? How
about a joint investigation?
You guys can stay just for tonight.
Without her, we can't call
ourselves the Avengers.
Oh, no.
Stop. No.
Help me.
Why do you keep following me around?
I didn't follow you around.
You're so lame.
Don't Don't do it.
What?
Don't try to hurt yourself.
Hurt myself?
What a joke.
I'm not like you who tries to kill himself.
Stop following me and go home.
I know you also tried to jump a few times.
What?
You tried to die.
Did you ever see me try?
I scanned your memory.
You don't look like it,
but you're really a jerk.
Go hit on the girls who
go to the same school.
I know you were abused.
What?
You were saved right before
you died and got adopted.
And you're still suppressed by that memory.
Who told you that?
Baek.
Baek. Baek.
Wake up.
- What's wrong?
- Mr. Chun got into an accident.
What accident?
I don't know. We'll have to see.
Are you going somewhere?
- I'll go with you.
- So is this a joint investigation?
Okay. Let's go, Avengers.
(Chun K Soo)
Sir.
What happened?
I can't remember anything
because of my concussion.
What?
No matter how hard I try,
I can't remember his face.
He's fast asleep. Training
must've drained his energy.
Sure, I'll be there shortly.
Our son is in the car, so
of course I'm driving safely.
What do you take me for?
Do you remember the fried chicken he likes?
You could order that.
Sure. See you soon.
Her and her nagging.
Joon Young,
are you all right?
Joon Young, stay with me.
No, don't. Stay with me.
Joon Young!
Stay with me.
Son, stay with me!
Joon Young, stay with me.
Joon Young!
Joon Young, no.
Joon Young!
Help us. My son's in the backseat!
Joon Young!
Please help my son.
Joon Young!
Joon Young No, get my son first.
No, my son. Joon Young!
No
What are you doing?
Someone's still in the car.
Someone's in the back seat.
My son's inside. Get him out!
Joon Young!
Joon Young, no.
Joon Young!
I can't remember
his face though.
Scan my memory so that you can catch him.
Do you have a headache?
No, it's nothing. I'm fine.
Joon Young, no.
Joon Young!
The Eraser!
The Eraser?
The murder who kills scumbags?
Why
Why would he kill my son then?
He was a sweet boy.
He couldn't even kill an insect.
I'll rip him to pieces.
I'll kill him myself.
Hand it over.
That thing in your pocket.
His pocket?
What is this?
- His jacket button.
- What are you doing?
He ripped it off and swallowed it.
Just find me any lead
and I'll kill him myself.
I see a shape.
A shape?
It looks like a flame.
I think I know what it is.
What is this?
It must be a torch at
the center of the petals.
I see it now.
Talk to me.
Did you cross-check?
Okay, good job.
The logo belongs to the fire department.
The fire department?
The torch at the center of a
rose of Sharon borne by a bird.
It's the core of the
fire department's logo.
How on earth do you know all this?
It's all thanks to the crime data center.
Does such a thing exist in Korea?
One is being established.
We're in luck to get that kind of help.
I'm the one who's been establishing it.
This is why we can't help
but admire you, Ms. Han.
This is what you call the
beauty of being clever.
Which alphabets are on it?
S and B.
There are a total of eight
units in the fire department
with the initials S and B
including district stations.
There's no need to narrow it down though.
- It's that place.
- That plce?
Where he first appeared.
That's where he's been hiding.
- What?
- What?
Let's see what's in store for us there.
What about Chun Ki Soo's other memories?
Was it really him who covered
up the incident 20 years ago?
Why did the Eraser torch his son though?
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
Did you only manage to
see last night's events then?
Is something wrong with
your head these days?
Should I contact the medical team?
Mind your own business.
But what if you pass out again?
Let him exhaust himself
if that's what he wants.
Just know that everyone
can die at any time.
Shouldn't we ask Mr. Chun
about the case files again?
Have you become a psychopath?
How can we question a man
who just lost his only son?
But this case is more urgent.
We're off to find answers
right now, aren't we?
I'm sure we'll find a lead of some sort.
I can't believe you called me a psychopath.
(Shimbae Fire Station)
Let's go.
(Shimbae Fire Station)
We have a special guest, so
hurry up with the big welcome.
- Yes, sir.
- I'm afraid we're in a hurry.
Things are urgent, so
let us ask a few questions.
Could you take a look at this, please?
It's a button.
What kind of a button is it?
It's key evidence in a pressing case
and the logo on it belongs
to Shimbae Fire Station.
- A case?
- A murder case.
- Sorry?
- This isn't one of ours.
It came off a sleeve, so maybe
your full-dress uniform or
Over there.
There aren't any buttons here.
- The ceremonial uniform.
- The ceremonial uniform?
It's on the uniform given to those
who served the department for 20 years.
Yes, you're right.
Could we get a list of everyone
who received the uniform?
Everyone gets a set after 20 years.
Let us check your list of employees.
Sure.
Sir, how long have you worked
here at Shimbae Fire Station?
About 30 years.
Do you remember the abandoned
warehouse from 20 years ago
where victims suffocated in?
The one that took the
lives of college students?
- So you know.
- Of course. It was a big one.
Why didn't it make the headlines though?
I believe the bereaved families
stopped it from being reported.
It would've made the news even more
considering how the victims
came from wealthy families.
There was this rumor.
A rumor?
Rumor had it that the kids did drugs.
Drugs?
Narcotics.
Is Detective Dong really here?
- Yes.
- What for?
Remember the ceremonial uniform
given to long-term firefighters?
The suit was found at a scene of a murder.
What? Our uniform?
Didn't you receive it too?
I lost it. I took it in for dry-cleaning,
but it got lost there.
The deceased youngsters
got high, lost their minds,
and beat each other to death?
But the cause of death
was reported as carbon monoxide poisoning.
They did die after breathing
in the smoke from the campfire,
but many say that was
only because they were high.
They got high and killed
each other, but it was buried.
Here you go.
Including myself, 9 people were
with the department for 20 years.
(Yoon Soon Nam, M, Park Chang Won, M)
There are six if you eliminate women.
May we meet with them?
Only three of them are
here. The others are off today.
What is it?
Dong Baek's location was
posted on social media.
He's at Shimbae Fire Department.
We'll be there in five minutes.
Don't you dare lose him.
We'll get him no matter what.
Step on it.
(Lee Shin Woong)
(Kim Do Soo - Intelligence Dept)
- Hello?
- Inspector Kim Do Soo
of Intelligence reporting in as ordered.
Detective Dong Baek is
currently at Shimbae Fire Station.
Shimbae Fire Station?
Yes, sir. The prosecutor
is coming to arrest him.
- Keep marking him.
- Yes, sir.
Clear my schedule for the rest of the day.
Yes, sir.
Poisonous gas leak at a
factory in Shimpan-dong.
Rescue One. Rescue One head out.
Sorry.
You'll have to wait.
Do you not remember
anything else from that incident?
Not really. It was so long ago.
That's right.
Never mind. It's nothing.
Please tell us. Anything.
I heard that a police
officer was already there
before
our fire fighters arrived.
And?
He didn't do anything,
and just fled by himself.
Why?
He probably didn't want to get involved.
Was it a police car from a precinct?
I don't think so.
- Who saw that officer?
- What?
Well So I'm not sure.
Why?
Only the fire department was notified.
The police weren't notified at all.
So it was only natural for
the firefighters to arrive first.
Once the fire department is called,
the police are called automatically.
But it wasn't a patrol car.
You're right.
The police could not have been
faster than the fire department.
If he got there first
Was that cop
the Eraser?
If the Eraser is a cop,
everything falls into place.
Was he able to erase all the
records because he's a cop?
You're right.
The Eraser?
Hold on.
What about the button?
What?
We're here because of the
button from a firefighter's suit
that the Eraser was wearing.
If the Eraser isn't a firefighter,
but the cop who was seen
at the abandoned warehouse.
Then who's the firefighter
whose suit he was wearing?
That Eraser jerk
stole a firefighter's suit and
wore it intentionally. Why?
I don't understand
what you're talking about.
Who was the person
who saw that police officer?
- Please forget I said anything
- This is very important.
He was from a rescue team.
Noh Kwan Kyu, the rescue team captain?
Captain Noh?
I just asked him, and
I lost it.
I dropped it off at the
cleaners, and they lost it.
He said he lost the suit.
Where is he now?
He probably went to the scene.
He's in danger.
The suit the Eraser wore
was bait.
The next murder victim.
Order Captain Noh to return immediately.
- What do you mean?
- I don't know,
but the detectives say you're in
danger and to return immediately.
What stupid nonsense is that?
If they need to talk to
me, tell them to come here.
Okay. You will be forgiven
if you fail to rescue victims,
but you will not be forgiven
if you get hurt. Got it?
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
His life is in danger!
He never leaves the scene first.
We'll go to him.
Chun Ki Soo led the investigation
of the Shimbae warehouse case
in which the Eraser killed
7 people 20 years ago.
That's right.
When he burned Chun Ki Soo's son to death,
the Eraser stole and wore what
was probably Noh Kwan Kyu's suit.
- Then that was
- He was announcing his next murder.
That he'll kill the owner of the suit?
Eliminating a witness.
Captain Noh Kwan Kyu saw
an unidentified police officer
during the abandoned warehouse incident.
The real Eraser, who
had arrived before he did.
So he's trying to get rid of
him because he's a witness.
We need to find him and read his memory
Freeze!
Baek, go ahead. Let's
use our bodies to stop them.
We'll sacrifice our bodies.
See you soon.
Hey, you! Stop right there!
Stop, you jerk!
Stop the search. Let's pull out.
Victim needing rescue on
the second floor, north side.
The second floor, north side.
A victim requested a rescue.
This is the captain.
I'm on the second floor.
- I'll go myself.
- Copy that.
Help me.
Help me.
Are you okay?
Captain.
Captain!
Darn it. I'm going back in.
Give me a new oxygen tank!
There he is!
Captain.
- Remove his belt.
- Captain.
Captain.
Giving him mouth-to-mouth now.
Captain! Sir!
Baek.
Baek, are you okay?
You lunatic! Why did you go in there?
He's He's there.
- What?
- He's He's still nearby.
Hurry. Hurry!
What are you trying to do?
His memory from 20 years ago.
- Hurry!
- Let's go!
Let's get going!
No, wait!
Be careful.
No, wait. Wait.
- Wait.
- Watch out.
Wait. No.
Detective Dong?
We're the police. This is an emergency.
His vitals are back to normal.
Detective Dong, you're not well.

He loved justifying his murders,
but that's not how he kills anymore.
- The innocent will be crucified.
- On behalf of the sinner.
His purpose was to murder people.
Chun Ki Soo is the connection.
Who are you?
Your savior. The person
who can save your son.
- Chun Ki Soo disappeared.
