Who could ever handle him?
He sucks the memories out of you just by touching you.
Detective, my daughter went missing.
I felt it while reading her memories.
The love she has for her daughter.
I don't think she just disappeared.
Proof it's a serial murder?
They both have dents in their skulls.
It appears they were bound and struck with a weapon...
having a 4-inch diameter multiple times.
In other words, he's a total psycho.
Mobilize the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
They found the third victim this morning.
- She was still breathing. - She's still alive.
- Did you see something? - First, a red pig.
And the other was a hammer. One that you can hold with one hand.
The Claw Hammer Killer might not be involved in this case.
Are you sure? About the red pig, I mean.
I wish I was wrong too. But this disgusting gut feeling...
If you don't pass the doctrine test, you'll die.
The older girl before you died because she failed.
It's different. It's a different model.
Scan for that second cell phone.
We located the cell phone.
They're high school kids.
They found the cell phone on the street.
We can ask them to find Bo Yun.
You went there to look for Bo Yun, didn't you?
(Previously)
No, no.
That's where we lost them. At the three-way junction.
From this moment on, all available officers will help search Onha-ri.
The regional investigation unit sent all available officers...
to search this area.
They lost them at the junction.
The regional investigation unit is starting with the villas in Onha-ri.
Old man, you go ahead.
I need to stop by somewhere.
Where light quickly fades away.
(Previously)
How did you get up there?
I'll go outside and call the police.
Take me with you! Please!
Please take me with you!
Only one overlaps.
About 1.5km away.
That's where we lost them. At the three-way junction.
Please save my daughter. Please.
Please save my daughter.
(Dong Baek)
Come on. Hurry up.
I'm doing my best.
- Why would you kick the tire? - Then should I kick you?
Should I kick you instead?
Well, no.
I found the red pig.
- No, wait. - Get him.
- Beat him down. - Get him!
- Move. - Hold on.
This isn't the time...
Tase him.
Get him in the van. Load him up!
And here I thought a telepath would put up more of a fight.
(This is private property.)
(Trespassing and farming are strictly prohibited.)
From the road to the gate,
the cameras will catch whoever walks up here.
Anyone who comes and goes will be caught on camera.
The gates are like a tall fence.
Why is no one around?
A farm of this size should be occupied by workers during the day.
Could it be a front?
Could this farm be here...
to cover up another operation?
I have to be smart.
Now, show yourself.
Don't move.
You there!
Care to talk?
(Memorist: Ep 3, Baptized in Blood)
(32 minutes ago)
He reported you.
- What? - Silence.
He's the one who reported you to Internal Affairs.
What are you talking about?
- Hey. - He reported the bribe you took.
It wasn't me!
The hostess bar owner bribed you to stop the investigation.
You sell out your colleague for just 30,000 dollars?
- Shut him up. - It wasn't me!
I also saw something from him too.
Is betraying colleagues...
a trend in your office?
Shut him up!
- You're dead. - It really wasn't me.
Did you know that he's been poking at multiple women?
- Shut him up! - Still, have some decency.
How could you go after...
the girlfriend of your youngest teammate?
You idiot, keep your eyes on the road!
Didn't your girlfriend recently get a designer bag?
This guy gave it to her as a gift.
- You jerk! - Is this true?
Eyes on the road!
- Tase him! - Yes, sir.
What? Not him!
You there!
Don't you dare kill him.
I need to capture him and read as many memories as possible.
Are you okay?
Why that...
Blessed eternal life.
- Blessed eternal life. - Get on your knees.
Blessed eternal life.
Why that...
Why is it so complicated?
What is this place?
There's the jerk. Get him!
You. Get over here. Get over here.
Stay still. Stay still!
You jerk.
(My lovely daughter, I left money on the table for dinner. Love, Mom.)
(If you don't walk today, you must run tomorrow.)

(Bucket List: Travel abroad with Mom, take a trip alone)
- Thanks. - No problem.
(Mortuary)
Let me see my daughter.
Ma'am.
- We're waiting for an autopsy... - Imagine...
how long she waited for me.
I can't make her wait any longer.
Ma'am.
You shouldn't see her now...
I need to tell her I'm here and calm her down.
My poor baby.
She must have been so scared.
I'll be honest.
Ye Rim looks really bad right now.
You should remember how he looked before...
I need to see my baby's final moment!
Move. Get out of my way.
My daughter. I need to see my daughter, so get out of my way!
Please calm down.
My baby!
Ma'am.
- Ma'am. - Hey.
- Ma'am - Pick her up.
- Ma'am! - Put her on my back.
The 30-year-old suspect Han Man Pyeong,
who committed suicide,
appears to have abducted women and locked them up under his farm...
and murdered them.
The underground tunnel is presumed to have been built...
during the Japanese occupation.
The suspect Han appears to have used the tunnel...
- as a hideout... - Yes.
for over 15 years after his parents died.
- I understand. - There's also a possibility...
that there might be other victims.
We've confirmed that there are at least four murder victims.
The only teenage girl who was rescued...
got sent to a hospital and is receiving treatment.
Fortunately, she wasn't severely injured.
And therefore, she will be able to live.
Meanwhile, the police and NFS...
mobilized a large-scale forensics team...
to check if the assailant...
committed any other crimes other than what we know.
According to the police, checking for an accomplice is...
just part of the investigation process...
and that they haven't found any evidence in particular.
However, due to the severity of this case,
lots of people are paying attention to the result.
Hello, sir.
Why are you all here?
- We're waiting... - Why exactly are you waiting?
Well...
A detailed identification should be our first priority...
- to find an accomplice... - What about the survivor?
Yes, the survivor. The teenage girl is in shock.
According to her, she never saw an accomplice.
I waited for you...
to ask you for a favor.
- A favor? - The accomplice...
Actually, that person might even be the main culprit.
The main culprit?
Are you sticking to your primary profiling data?
That the culprit is most likely in the upper class?
Han Man Pyeong isn't the type to make a display of murder.
I'm sure the main culprit is someone else.
Let me give you some advice. That was just your prejudgment.
- Be modest and accept the results. - That's why I'm modestly...
asking you for a favor.
Please do a detailed investigation to see if there was an accomplice.
I won't ask you for anything else.
I can't help you with that.
You'll have to do it yourself.
But I was removed from my position.
Superintendent Han will be the vice director...
of the special investigations department.
Make her into a star.
Emphasize the fact that she found the culprit first.
That she found him before Dong Baek.
You will also be in charge of the briefings.
That's part of your job as the star who caught the culprit.
Let's go.
Let's go in.
Sir, aren't we going to interrogate him?
Tomorrow morning, he'll be sent...
to Seoul Western District Prosecutors’ Office.
But we worked so hard to catch him.
You should either be clever enough...
to know what's going on or at least learn...
how to keep your mouth shut.
I'm glad the culprit got caught.
You got really lucky.
People will start talking.
A serial killer killed himself.
No one will be interested in a sex scandal.
I'll deal with it, sir.
I'll make sure nothing happens to harm your reputation.
It won't end quietly.
Pardon?
- But the culprit got caught. - Four girls were murdered.
Normally, the public will be furious at the culprit.
But this time, it's different.
The culprit no longer exists, so there's no one to be angry at.
The press will do everything they can...
to find someone to blame.
Don't forget...
what you need to do to avoid being the scapegoat.
I'll talk to the press, sir.
Do you see the cover?
- Please check that, too. - 12 hours until we get the results.
During that time, we need to check if there was an accomplice or not.
Check every single person that he's ever contacted...
so that we can identify that person as soon as we get the results.
(National Forensic Service)
(Identification results)
Superintendent Han, here are the results.
We checked for evidence to see if there was an accomplice.
But we couldn't find anything.
We couldn't find anyone else's DNA other than Han Man Pyeong,
the culprit who committed suicide.
I heard Detective Dong Baek was also at the crime scene.
Why was he there?
He was also chasing the culprit.
Were you two working together?
No.
Then who got there first?
I don't think that's important.
- It's not something... - It was Superintendent Han.
She got there first and apprehended the culprit.
Then can you also explain how Detective Dong Baek got arrested?
That's irrelevant to this case. You can ask the prosecution.
She's good.
You're known to be an extremely gifted profiler.
How did you find the conclusive evidence?
There you go.
I'd like to make it clear that I didn't solve the case on my own.
But more importantly,
I'd like to express my condolences...
to the four victims and their families.
Hurry up and ask her what's important.
The farm was only about 1km away from where Yoon Ye Rim disappeared.
Why didn't you start out by searching the farm?
Strike.
- We carried out a thorough search. - "A thorough search"?
She was right in front of you,
but you wasted time searching elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the culprit was impulsive with Yoon Ye Rim.
Therefore, it was very hard to figure out his whereabouts.
Wouldn't you call that a failure?
(Investigation Results Regarding the Claw Hammer Serial Killer)
Don't acknowledge that.
Again,
I'd like to express my heartfelt condolences...
- to the victims and their families. - My goodness.
That weakling.
I'd like to emphasize the fact that she tried her best...
to catch the culprit and succeeded in saving the survivor.
I heard Detective Dong Baek gave you a tip-off.
Why didn't you guys work together?
Detective Dong Baek was under suspension.
- But... - You should've worked with him...
regardless of whether or not he was suspended.
Please take turns in asking questions.
You failed to investigate properly. How will you take responsibility?
Do you plan to give a public apology?
What is the National Police Agency's plan...
to prevent this from happening again?
Please take turns, everyone.
- How will you take responsibility? - Do you also think you failed?
What's your future plan?
Do you not acknowledge your failure?
Are you aware of what the victims' families want?
That is all for today's briefing.
We will inform you of additional information...
through another press release.
- Please do not write... - Bravo.
any speculative articles.
- Sir. - Sir.
Please maintain order.
Everyone.
(Investigation Results Regarding the Claw Hammer Serial Killer)
Tell the chief of the Intelligence bureau to come in.
Superintendent Han.
HQ just disassembled our team.
They want it done in 72 hours.
(The police are responsible for the multiple victims.)
(Superintendent Han Sun Mi)
Yes, ma'am.
Did you talk to the survivor?
They won't let me in.
The doctor won't let me enter,
but the guardian is also causing a fuss.
The guardian?
It's because of the hospital bill.
You need to hurry up.
I'll give it a try.
There's not much time before our team disappears.
You need to talk to her today.
- Okay, I got it. - You hospitalized her.
Come on.
You're the one who hospitalized her. You can't deny that.
Aren't I right? Hey, let me go.
There are other patients here, so please keep it down.
I don't care. Are you people looking down on me...
because my life turned into a mess due to my crazy daughter?
Is that what you're doing?
No, that's not it. Please calm down.
We're not looking down on you.
Forget it. I know what you're trying to do.
Let me go!
I know you're very upset with me.
Not only did I keep quiet about our achievements,
but I also acknowledged my mistake.
Just 30 minutes...
Actually, if I got there...
just 10 minutes earlier, we could've saved 1 more person.
Therefore, I feel responsible...
for Yoon Ye Rim and the other victims.
However, I'm not going to be hard on myself.
The person who needs to apologize is the murderer, not the police.
The victims deserve...
to see the murderer in handcuffs instead of people's tears.
Therefore, I'm going to spend the remaining 72 hours...
on doing my best to find the actual culprit.
But all the evidence keep telling us that it was Han Man Pyeong.
There's a 51 percent chance that there was an accomplice.
Han Man Pyeong isn't the type to show off his murder.
What kind of person is the real culprit?
"Charisma"?
A charismatic high-class member of society.
Someone with a high social status?
Han Man Pyeong who had low self-esteem...
longed for success.
So if anyone was able to use him,
it would've been someone successful.
Han Man Pyeong is an accomplice who in this case...
was the devil's puppet.
That's the conclusion I came to from my gathered experience...
and knowledge.
Who are we targeting then?
The mastermind...
would be the riverside vacation home complex.
It's 1.5km away from the farm.
By walking through the woods,
the culprit could've reached there in 15 minutes unnoticed.
The mastermind is in one of these vacation homes.
I'm seeing a high probability.
Excuse me.
- We'll go about it in two ways. - When was the owner here?
- I'm not sure. - First,
find homeowners that came there on Tuesdays.
Let's go.
Next, no matter how secluded the woods were,
there would've been a witness.
Question those who reside near the path.
What is it, ma'am?
- Yes? - I found some land...
in Han Man Pyeong's mother's name.
It's halfway up the mountain like you predicted.
- In the woods? - Yes.
I'll send you the location on a map.
I think I found it.
(KCSI)
Forensics!
Could this be Han Man Pyeong's hideout?
Han Man Pyeong doesn't smoke.
Then...
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Ms. Kang Ji Eun?
(TVC Newsroom, Kang Ji Eun)
Are you sure?
We're still checking, but it seems to be legit.
Why was it sent to her though?
Whoever it was knew she was Dong Baek's fan.
Could it be a trap or a hoax?
If we're wrong about this,
we'll be dragging our bosses through the mud too.
We'll check and double-check.
Sir, two of our competitors also received the same tip...
and are scrambling.
What?
Excuse me, Chief Im.
Could you check your phone?
What is it?
- There he is. - Here he comes!
- Get ready. - Here we go.
Do you admit to these charges?
- Is it true? - Did you abuse power?
Do you admit to these charges?
(Secretary of the Prosecutor General)
So Chief Im of Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office...
has been paying money for sexual favors?
That's right. According to the tip we received,
Chief Im...
has been exchanging sexual favors for money.
What's worse is that his regular partner...
was one of the victims in the Han Man Pyeong case.
So this isn't just some scandalous rumor.
No, it's not. From what we have gathered,
Chief Im deliberately impeded the murder investigation...
so that his own crimes wouldn't be revealed.
Many suspect that the arrest of Detective Dong...
was ordered as part of the cover-up.
So in summary,
Chief Im deliberately impeded a police investigation...
just so that he could cover up his own crimes...
which led to a victim being murdered.
That's right. If this turns out to be true,
members of the court say that Chief Im...
will be facing charges of abuse of authority...
and other felonies.
What is the prosecution saying?
You sick psychopath!
- Resign! - Resign!
You sick psychopath!
- Leave the office. - Leave the office.
Through their spokesperson, the prosecutors' office...
delivered a basic statement saying that they are aware...
of the severity of this matter and that they will have...
a special team investigate thoroughly.
How dare you mess with the pros.
What about Detective Dong's arrest then?
- His warrant was validated today. - That's right.
The warrant was issued to bring him in as a repeat assault offender...
and is being validated.
Many were assuming that he'd be arrested,
but due to the recent scandal in the prosecutors' office,
the validation could go either way...
and can't be predicted.
Arrest the evil, corrupt prosecutor!
- Arrest him. - Arrest him.
- There he is. - Here he comes.
Could you say a few words?
- How was it? - What happened?
Please say a few words.
What is your opinion on these charges?
- Make way. - A few words, please!
Just a second, Detective Dong.
Detective Dong!
- Just a few words. - Please say something.
- Move out of the way. - Detective Dong!
Let's be glad that you weren't put in a holding cell.
I agree. Anyway, eat this.
You bought tofu? No one went to prison, you know.
He almost did.
Should I take you home?
- I have someplace to be. - Where?
We did a full search but found nothing out of the ordinary.
I have the forensics report.
Someone else's DNA was found on the cigarette.
- Do we know whose? - Yes.
His DNA was in our database.
An ex-con by the name of Kwak Hee Joo.
He lives on the riverside of Onsang-ri.
- In a vacation home? - No,
a remote house in the woods.
A remote house?
(3 Onsang-ri 12 Street)
Get in position.
When will we be able to talk to Bo Yun then?
She still isn't stable psychologically.
I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
Where are you off to?
Are you running away?
You're the telepath.
What's it to you anyway?
I'm here for a favor.
- Your memories... - I already told the cops.
There wasn't a second man.
Of course. I believe you.
Then get lost.
Your telepathic powers give me the creeps.
It's not your fault.
I just want you to know that.
Know that it's not your fault.
Even if you didn't make the right choices,
it still isn't entirely your fault.
So don't beat yourself up over it.
Then whose fault is it?
I lived as trash after being raised by trash.
So whose fault is that?
I don't know.
Why must good people suffer?
Why must the innocent die horrible deaths?
What I do know...
is that you're too young to be accountable for your actions.
That accountability...
is reserved for grown-ups.
(Identity Report: Kwak Hee Joo)
I guess you saw Han Man Pyeong often in his cabin.
Once in a while.
- "Once in a while?" - It's been a while.
I borrowed it since he didn't use it.
What did you two do?
We had tea, talked...
And?
- We discussed our faith. - You little twerp.
Does a man of faith smoke?
That's what Man Pyeong always said.
He was obsessed with his religion just like everything else.
He got into some strange cult.
You were kicked out many times from nearby churches and temples...
for saying strange things.
Are you a fraud?
Who determines that?
The religious?
Enlightenment is private.
It's a private agreement between me and the universe.
You are a headache.
Was this that too?
You sexually assaulted them very privately.
You served six months in prison.
There are two counts of sexual assault alone.
I was framed.
They were lies.
He had a very strong conviction.
He was determined to save the world. I'm very curious.
Forget the world.
I wonder if you can save yourself.
If I had been a little faster.
I heard...
that you tried hard.
I'm sorry.
I was going to pick her up,
but I dozed off.
I called her when I woke up,
but she already got off the bus.
I should've gone out at least then.
But my excuse was...
that I was tired and had to leave early in the morning,
and I stayed in bed.
It's all my fault...
that happened to my daughter.
She was born to a loser mom...
and suffered all her life...
and died so pathetically...
That's not true.
I really hope there is an afterlife.
Because even if...
I can't make it into paradise,
my kind daughter will definitely be there.
We need to get going.
The regional investigation unit caught the real culprit.
The real culprit?
You suspected there was someone else too.
They got the warrant.
Spill it already.
We got the search warrant, so we'll find everything.
Your call records, where you've been,
that you hired Han Man Pyeong, everything.
Did you seize the server too?
What server?
- The internet channel. - What channel?
Didn't you investigate?
Why you... You're not making sense.
I did a personal broadcast...
for 40 days.
What...
He lacks charisma.
Thank you for your service.
What is it?
Didn't you come to say something?
You were...
wrong.
It was my fault.
It was all my fault.
What do you mean?
It was my fault...
that girl died like that.
Please!
Don't kill me.
No!
You asked about my religion.
This is what I always say in response.
My one and only religion...
It's true. He broadcast nonstop for 40 days.
There are only a couple of viewers.
He even broadcast himself sleeping.
What was the longest he went off camera?
Check Tuesday.
- How did it go? - What about the suspect?
They're checking his alibi.
Hey. What are you doing here?
Hey. Hey. Hey. Stop.
He barged in without permission.
He went to the bathroom after he ate,
but it was always less than 15 minutes.
15 minutes?
That's enough time to go the farm and back.
So he could've killed them too.
- That's true. - No.
The murders are very important ceremonies to the killer.
He wouldn't have rushed it in a couple of minutes.
Are you saying he isn't...
Kwak Hee Joo never had it to begin with.
If you...
The charisma to control Han Man Pyeong.
All the viewers in this room...
will...
be recorded in history as witnesses to my hardship...
a long time from now.
What happens now?
What else? We go home.
Hi, Peanut. Daddy will be home soon.
Hi, Peanut.
Isn't Uncle Baek coming too?
Uncle Baek is going to his home.
I bragged to my friends...
that he's sleeping over here.
I like Uncle Baek a lot too,
but I can't spend more than 52 hours a week with him.
Why not?
If I do, all my hair falls out.
His telepathic powers are way too strong.
- Yes. Okay. - Hurry home.
What about the girl's memories?
What a shame. We didn't even get to chat.
You should go.
No need to apologize. It's the truth.
- What? - You interrogated the wrong person,
but you don't need to apologize.
No, what did you say after that?
What? The truth?
It was the will of the universe.
- "The truth". - The death of those girls...
was part of it all.
It may seem brutal,
but it was the will of the divine being.
I wasn't even finished.
A telepathic detective?
I knew I'd meet you one day.
That kind of gift isn't given to just anyone...
- Who do they think they are? - Excuse me.
Where are the kids who were riding scooters earlier?
What? I never saw them.
What are you doing?
- Something feels weird. - What?
His actual voice is different from the voice I heard on his channel.
Maybe it's because of the microphone and speaker.
He probably spoke with a tone.
The voice was also different in the survivor's memory.
What are you talking about?
The truth will...
They were given doctrine lectures through a small screen in the room.
And there was a moment when the lecturer's voice suddenly changed.
Fear is what comes out of you when an evil spirit...
tries to take over your soul.
- Please don't do this! - Therefore, the truth will...
The same lecture was given to them when each girl was murdered.
But it was different from the voice on the DVD.
- What? - He was actually in the room.
I am the only one...
- who can save you. - The guy on the DVD...
was there in person.
"The truth".
(Search case files)
"The truth".
Wait.
Did anyone see the word "Truth"?
- Pardon? - I think I saw it somewhere.
- But I can't find it. - Then it's not in the database.
Maybe you saw it somewhere else.
(Search case files)
- "The truth". - The team got dismantled...
30 minutes ago.
We'll get going now.
This is it.

That's Kim Seo Kyung when she was little.
(Truth...)
"Truth"?
Bong Kook, I want you to analyze this photo.
What?
- But what about this? - Okay.
It wasn't this photo.
I'm sure I saw the word "Truth."
What if this is what the victims had in common?
I found it.
(Truth...)
- Kim Seo Kyung's bank account? - No.
Lee Bo Yun got the scholarship when she was 10.
Bong Kook, investigate the foundation.
- Seul Bi, let's check the photos. - Okay.
(Truth...)
- "Truth". - The first victim is on the list.
The second victim also received the same scholarship.
All four victims received the scholarship when they were 10.
Truth and Sky Foundation. They own a villa.
It's by the river in Onsang-ri.
Who lives there?
The chairman of the foundation.
You all know him.
- Park Ki Dan. - "Park Ki Dan"?
(Onsang-ri villa complex)
The famous cult leader?
(Truth and Sky Chapel)

You scanned his memory without any permission, right?
A memory scan without a warrant is a felony that's equivalent...
to illegal wiretapping.
You deserve to be in the fiery pit!
- Get lost! - Get lost!

And Park Ki Dan is the richest man in this country.
I'm seriously going to kill you.
Courage only comes to you when you're one with the divine being.
We need to find evidence that lies in his subconsciousness.
You just wait. You'll soon end up in the fiery pit.
