(All characters, locations, religions,)

(and incidents of this drama are fictional.)

Are you announcing your next crime?

Mr. Lee.

Are you the culprit?

If you aren't, do you know who the culprit is?

No.

The question isn't who. It's why.

That needs to come first.

Nothing on this earth happens for no reason.

What makes people are memories.

What's happening now is the result of the past.

The past?

What past?

Whose past?

Who...

are you?

Let's call it a day.

I'm with the Legal Team of Seoryun Medical Center.

(Episode 5)

Doctor Lee.

I only brought important things among what they seized.

You'll receive the rest of your belongings...

and your vehicle within tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your hard work.

Oh, we rescheduled your shifts.

You should get a good rest today.

Please share my gratitude with Director Lee.

I think you should meet her...

and thank her yourself.

Please excuse me.

(Uproot communists, keep spies away)

Darn it.

(Testimony Reports)

Man. Good grief.

Why won't it freaking rain? The heat is killing me.

Is it five minutes to six?

What's wrong with your neck?

Stand upright.

Straighten your shoulders. Draw in your tummy!

You're a man. Don't be so weak.

"The proper mindset comes from proper posture."

That's from my ancestor,

a ninth-generation Hyungju Bae Clan,

a man who served as King Seonjo's first vice-premier.

Take that to your heart, kid.

Hey, if you say it like that, how is he supposed to understand?

Darn it. Hey, Ju Seok.

Hey, Ju Seok!

- Yes, sir. - Pass me the newspaper.

Hey.

Who are you looking for?

My dad.

Really?

Who's your dad?

You know, that commie.

Here.

It's okay. Take it.

Darn it. I got it all over.

Gosh, you're so scary.

That guy put up a fight with bloody foam from his mouth.

That's why we call him a commie.

A persistent one,

isn't he?

Whatever.

Look.

Look at how that kid is chomping that down.

What's with you? No, you can't do that.

I can't let you pay later.

It's not like we're strangers. Don't be so harsh.

No is no.

It's not like I won't pay it back. I will!

This is why couples are the same.

Your husband is a murderer, and you're a thief!

Who says so?

Who says my husband is the murderer?

What do you mean, who? Everyone knows!

It's all over the news already.

- Give it back! - Oh my.

Mommy. What's wrong, Mommy?

Mommy, get up.

Mommy, what's wrong?

- Mommy. - My gosh.

- Mommy, get up. - Darn it. Not in front of my store.

- What a waste. - Mommy, get up.

There's no way I can save that.

What an unlucky day. It's those unsightly ones.

Exactly. Why do they live in our neighbourhood of all places?

It's too scary to go out at night.

(Murderer! Die! Communist. Murder. Commie!)

("Pop Songs", "World Pop Songs")

- What happened? - She died?

- I think she did. - Oh no.

Is she dead?

Man, I should've kicked them out a long time ago.

This is awful.

We'll take her to the hospital, identify her,

and report her death.

Does she have a guardian? Or a relative?

No idea. How would I know?

Her husband died, and she only had a kid.

(Murderer! Die! Communist. Murder. Commie!)

Mommy...

Mommy!

- Move. - Mommy!

- Move. Goodness. - Mommy!

No!

Take her back home.

Mommy!

Mommy, don't go! Mommy!

No! Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy...

(Electronics Repair)

Hello? It's me.

No, it's all right.

Actually,

I met somebody I've been wanting to.

Excuse me, we'll take one more bottle.

- One more bottle. - All right, settle down.

This is it for today.

All of you. You'll get caught by Captain Ko.

Whatever. I don't care if I get caught.

What?

He lets everyone go whenever we bring someone.

And if we don't end up catching the culprit, we'll get blamed.

Seriously.

I didn't come to Violent Crimes to do this.

You understand, don't you?

Drink up. All the way.

What are these rich people's connections anyway?

I'm ashamed.

I'm greatly ashamed.

Agent Hathaway. How do things work in the US?

These things don't happen there, right?

Well.

I'm sure it doesn't.

They run on a great system.

I'm jealous. You live in such a good country.

All right, now. It's time to go.

Agent Hathaway, when did you move to the US?

When I was very young. I was too young to remember.

In that case,

do you not know who your biological parents are?

Ha Na.

No.

Right.

You must be here to look for your parents.

Now, that's enough.

Let's go.

Do you want me to look into it?

I know this senior who's an expert in finding people.

No.

I'm not looking to find them.

I guess doing that might come off as rude...

to her foster parents who brought her up.

Right?

I see.

That means you love...

your foster parents a lot.

Gosh, how touching.

I love them.

A lot.

You didn't need to walk me.

I live nearby.

- Nearby? - Yes, over there.

It's right across the river and beyond a few hills.

Hey, those two were too drunk.

Please do understand. Koreans do that.

They suddenly barge in with personal questions.

They don't even think it's rude.

You don't have to try to comfort me.

Sorry?

It doesn't make me unhappy to live my life...

not knowing my biological parents.

That's not what I meant.

I also grew up without knowing my father.

He passed away before I was born.

My mom and dad were both in a car accident.

Only my mom lived, and so did I, inside her womb.

So I don't know what my dad looked like.

My mom doesn't remember a thing prior to that accident.

It must've been a huge shock...

that my father passed away.

At times, the human brain...

will decide to forget memories on its own.

When a certain memory becomes too difficult to recollect,

the brain cells which remember those memories...

do not die, but they simply stop functioning,

as if they fall asleep.

I see.

I don't know why I shared that.

It's pretty late. You should go inside.

Thank you for walking me back,

but you don't need to do this in the future.

I owe you a lot after what happened today.

You had to bring up unnecessary things to help me.

I became ambitious.

I wanted to look into that man.

Why?

I couldn't read him.

Detective Cha, do you think he's the culprit?

Don't you think so?

What's the advantage of using poison to murder?

The culprit doesn't have to be present.

If he was the culprit, why didn't he make an alibi?

Everything is odd about that man.

It was as if he has never seen...

the crime scene or the body.

This is just my take.

What if that man is...

not a culprit,

but someone who's after the culprit,

like we are?

- You're home. - Yes.

- I'm home. - Did you eat?

I ate. Look at the time.

- Go take a shower. - Okay.

Gosh. Goodness.

Why? Are your legs in pain?

No, it's all right.

- All right. - Goodness, it's fine.

- Good grief. Stay still. - What?

Go easy on me.

I'm trying to help.

Not there. Right there.

A little lower.

Gosh, that feels good.

- Mom. - Yes?

- Don't you get curious? - What?

About what?

Your history.

What you did and how you lived before the accident.

It's not good to completely forget half of your life.

What if I do remember?

Will it do me any good?

You might have a relative of some sort.

So what if I find them?

You never know. You might have a rich relative.

Do you wish...

you had relatives?

No, it's not that.

We have no problem making a living without them.

Why?

Does your girlfriend not like how you only have a mother?

No, I don't have a girlfriend.

It'd be a little awkward.

You're all alone,

and it's not like I'm always home.

If anything happens...

Goodness, this isn't news.

I was always alone.

You had Captain Han before.

I should go take a shower.

Oh, okay.

Park Doo Young, aka Fiery Chipmunk of Sangju-dong.

He was in charge of explosives in construction sites.

In 2012, he caused an explosion accident...

and burnt down 20 houses in the vicinity.

Then in 2016, he was arrested by Detective Han Ju Seok...

for habitual arson.

He was jailed, then recently released.

He claimed his innocence...

and continuously sent Detective Han threatening emails.

At this point in time, he's the most likely culprit.

Captain Ko.

Team 1, go on a stakeout around his hometown.

Team 2, track down the IP address from his emails.

- Finding him is our first task. - Captain Ko!

Detective Cho, send requests to those concerned for cooperation.

Yes, sir.

Dismissed.

Let's go.

- Let's go. - Let's get to work.

Are you giving up on Lee Joong Yeop like this?

You can at least put a tail on him!

You want to investigate illegally?

We have to do something!

He was cleared of suspicion. We have to drop it now.

Officially, our case on Lee Joong Yeop is closed.

What if something happens?

What if someone else dies?

You're right.

Someone else must die.

One more death.

That is our only opportunity.

We just don't know when, how, and who he'll kill.

That's our problem.

It would be great if we could only find that out.

Very well.

The Intelligence Bureau confiscated a car.

From now on, whatever you do,

officially, it has nothing to do with our team.

Okay?

There's no backup.

You're on your own.

Oh? Detective Cha.

Why are you making a face?

Is something not working out?

I rushed over because you'd arrested a suspect,

but you let him go so quickly.

If you brought him in, you must've had something on him.

But we let him go because we cleared him.

Did you eat something?

I'm starving.

I quit eating.

Where are you doing? Can I tag along?

Well... I'm going to the sauna.

We're launching an investigative program called "Search".

I want to kick it off by mentioning some unsolved cases.

Unsolved cases?

Is that entertaining?

It still hurts.

We want to shed new light on forgotten cases.

Who knows? We might find a new lead.

I really do hope your program does well.

Chimera.

That's our first topic.

The Chimera Case from 35 years ago.

Do you know anything about the victims?

The victims?

They all worked at the same place.

Victims...

Oh Jong Geun, Im Sang Wook, Park In Sang.

(Chimera's Identity is Revealed!)

It doesn't say what they did.

The first step in investigating serial murders...

is to connect the victims.

Why does nothing mention what the victims did?

Isn't that odd?

That's not the only odd thing.

This is an article from 1984.

The local news section.

That's the only section you checked, isn't it?

But I found something in a random place.

The economic section.

(Economy Newspaper)

"Hanmyung University's Professor Park and his team."

"From left, Im Sang Wook..."

"and Oh Jong Geun, researchers." University researchers?

It was a joint research project between them and a company.

All three victims were on the same team.

What project was this?

They made TH-5,

a disinfectant developed in 1984 that was also patented.

It's a huge issue these days, and it caused a lot of deaths.

TH-5?

These two men here...

and this man are the victims.

This is Director Seo Hyun Tae who was in charge at the time.

Seo Hyun Tae?

That name sounds familiar.

Don't you know Seo Hyun Tae, Seoryun Group's chairman?

Seoryun... That huge company?

After Taesam Chemicals developed the product,

they merged with Seoryun.

And Seo Hyun Tae married Seoryun's heiress Lee Hwa Jung.

I see.

You know someone set fire to himself outside Seoryun's offices, right?

Yes. He killed himself demanding compensation...

about Evergreen.

Guess what the main component of Evergreen is.

TH-5?

Shall I tell you an interesting fact to help you cool down?

Do you know who Lee Hwa Jung's older brother is?

Who is it?

The prosecutor who led the investigation...

of the 1984 Chimera Case.

Assemblyman Lee Min Ki.

It's best done at once.

For its sake too.

Gosh. You do this yourself?

What an odd hobby to have.

I couldn't be bothered to do this.

Rather than help deliver 100 pieces of charcoal briquette,

uploading a few photos of you cooking...

is much more effective with the voters.

I should've learned to cook too.

It would never work for you. You're useless with your hands.

So, by the way.

How is your wife feeling?

How do you think?

I heard you kept the doctor locked up all day.

My boys kept giving me the evil eye.

Good for you.

When you see her later, beg and apologize.

Okay.

Let's eat, shall we?

- Thank you for cooking. - Sure.

Have a drink.

A drink?

Ms. Lee, will you please let it go?

I'm well and truly sorry.

Can I pour you a drink?

Thank you.

Let's drink.

My boys went and brought him in at the crack of dawn.

I gave them a piece of my mind, so please don't be so angry.

I heard you gave him a hard time and let him go right before dusk.

They never do as they're told.

They all think they're smart.

They'll be the death of me.

What a mess.

What kind of case is it anyway?

Well, you see...

someone from our department died.

He was murdered.

Murdered? Who?

The officer who was about to retire?

Oh, dear. What happened?

How did he die?

He died in some sort of chemical explosion.

The killer used a strange technique,

and something odd was left at the scene.

What was that?

A lighter.

A lighter?

Yes. The marking on it was the same as 35 years ago.

From the Chimera Case.

Oh, dear. What have you done?

Are you drunk already?

No, I'm not drunk. I didn't drink that much.

I already have a lot on my mind. Try not to go too far.

Do you three still think you're young men?

The Chimera lighter?

Give me the details.

Well...

Min Ki, do you remember the case that you were in charge of...

in 1984?

As soon as you got transferred to the Public Security Department?

The Macheon Serial Arson Murder Case.

The culprit's name was...

Lee Sang Woo. Right?

That case and the method used in a string of recent cases...

is the same.

There were two explosions where people died,

and they found a lighter with Chimera on it at the scene.

Who died?

One of them was a reporter...

who covered the Chimera Case,

and the other one was Han Ju Seok,

a detective that was on that case.

It's a bit too much to brush off...

as mere coincidence.

Are you sure it's not retaliation or a copycat?

How would they know the MO from 35 years ago?

There are things that I don't know about and neither does Min Ki.

How did one of Seoryun's doctors get involved in the case?

He was wandering around the crime scene...

and got caught on the CCTV cameras.

There are no charges, and it's a bit obscure.

What kind of person is he? Did you meet him?

He looks fine, and he's smart.

He's a British-Korean...

He's Korean?

Yes. He was adopted.

Adopted?

What's his name?

Lee Joong Yeop.

Do you know the name?

I don't think so. I've never heard the name before.

He's the guy Hwa Jung paid a lot of money to bring in.

How could he be the culprit?

I'm sure that's the case.

But something does seem off.

Why are you getting scared?

What are you anxious about?

Chimera died...

35 years ago.

You're making good progress.

The medication must be working well because my doctor is handsome.

About the person you wanted me to look into.

Do you have any other information aside from his name,

Hahm Yong Bok?

He's probably in his 60s by now.

He worked at the Macheon Police Department 35 years ago.

A detective?

He won't be easy to find. Right?

If he was a former detective,

I will be able to find out about him if I ask around.

I hope I'm not troubling you.

Not at all.

It's a chance for me to repay my debt.

You know that I have a bit of responsibility...

for why you got arrested.

I don't resent you.

My goodness.

I have no idea if you're being sincere or not.

But who is he?

Is he your family?

Or enemy?

I just have something to ask him.

Dr. Lee.

Can someone who's going to die...

give you a piece of advice?

You're not going to die.

If you take your meds and manage it...

Don't look back into the past.

Nothing good will come from it.

You're healthy, handsome,

and you have a good job.

Why would you put yourself through that?

Think about it.

Has anyone benefited from looking back into the past?

Dr. Lee.

Even if you look for your enemies,

you should never look for family.

The moment you find them, they'll become your enemy.

Let's say you're in an interrogation room with a suspect.

What should you say first?

Number one. What was the happiest moment of your life?

Number two. What was the worst moment of your life?

What if you had to choose between those two questions?

The answer is number two.

If you ask about happy, fun moments,

nobody would answer.

But if you ask about the worst moment,

you'll have the surprising experience where the person...

begins to talk.

I have a question.

There are times when an innocent person makes a false confession.

Why does that happen?

Is it because of the coercive atmosphere?

Or is it physical threats like torture?

Why is that?

Oh, an innocent person makes a false confession?

Anyone can do that.

It's not an abnormal mentality or because of coercion.

People make false confessions without any coercion?

If you are questioned when your physical freedom is taken away,

and you're faced with a complicated situation...

where your family could be in danger...

In addition, you don't know how long it will last.

Then this will be an incredibly stressful situation.

So they simply want to...

escape from this situation.

They want to give that person the answer that they want.

That's what they think.

That's all?

Are they dumb?

They could get punished for their confession.

They think,

"No way. Everything will be revealed..."

"when it goes to court."

They don't realize how critical of a mistake that is.

Inside an interrogation room, situations arise...

that go beyond the imagination of normal people.

They lose sight of the reality of the punishments they will receive.

Even if it's the most severe punishment of death.

Eugene.

Can we talk for a second?

There's no reason for us to talk privately.

Don't interact with a suspect...

until the final verdict has come out...

since it could cloud your judgement.

That's a rule among profilers.

Yes, exactly.

Then let's not interact. Let's do something else.

- Something else? - Do you like chess?

Then let's not interact. Let's do something else.

- Something else? - Do you like chess?

White. I'm first.

Aren't you scared?

About what?

About being alone with me.

What if I'm really a serial murderer?

It'll be an honour.

If I write a book, it'll become a bestseller.

How old were you when you left Korea?

I was seven.

Then you must remember what happened when you were young.

For example, your parents.

They are dead.

I found my mother's body.

What about your father?

Where was he when your mother died?

He was killed.

What happened?

Something that was out of my control.

I was powerless and had to suffer.

Why did you really come to Korea?

You have no family left.

I don't believe it's for money.

Can you promise me something?

That you'll keep this conversation a secret?

I promise.

I returned because there's something I must do.

What is that?

Can you help me?

How?

Don't lose me.

That will do.

Is this suicide?

Or a trap?

Why did you come to Korea?

I got into trouble and got sent here.

My boss suggested I come here.

What a great excuse.

Why do you think it's an excuse?

Do you really not want to trace your roots?

I'm defined by the present.

Why should I care about the past?

Why is it me?

There are many other great detectives.

I needed a friend.

I thought you would need a friend too.

Mr. Lee.

You left Korea 35 years ago, in 1984, didn't you?

What happened to you then?

You're going too far ahead.

Ignore the facts and look at the person.

Checkmate.

(Neurosurgeon Lee Joong Yeop)

(New message: Madam Hwang)

(Call me when you get this. I located Hahm Yong Bok.)

(Rak Noraebang)

- Where are we going? - Where do you want to go?

I dressed up. Let's go to the seaside.

Do you want to see the sea?

Oh? I guess he wants to sing.

They don't open until much later.

Oh.

Mister. Is this your car?

You can't park here.

Park it somewhere else.

I'm looking for someone.

Who?

Hahm Yong Bok.

He used to be a policeman in Macheon.

Oh, this guy here...

Gosh, I am so forgetful.

I forgot I have plans this evening.

You should go home.

What about our drive?

Do as I say and go home, you wench.

Okay.

Who are you looking for?

Hahm Yong Bok.

He worked at the Macheon Police Department in the 1980s.

I think I've heard the name before.

But maybe I haven't.

I was told he'd be here.

So many people come and go.

Why?

Why are you looking for him?

I want to ask him something.

The Chimera Case from 35 years ago.

I want to know about the late Lee Sang Woo.

Gosh... I have no idea what you're talking about.

Perhaps you should ask the sales manager when he comes in.

I'll do that. Thank you.

(Adoption Files)

Here it is. The 1984 folder.

Around this time, 20,000 kids a year were adopted abroad.

In 1980, there was a private adoption agency.

We lost a lot of records when that agency closed.

Even if adoptees...

want to find their family, we have no records of them.

We find that so sad and regretful.

Right.

(Record of Child)

(Consent to Adoption and Emigration)

Oh, here it is. Lee Joong Yeop.

Here.

(Record of Child)

(Lee Joong Yeop)

Is Lee Joong Yeop his real given name?

If that's the name the orphanage gave us,

then it should be his real name.

In cases when they are babies, we do name them.

But at seven, they're old enough to know their names.

(Family Relations)

(Deceased)

It says that both his parents are deceased.

Yes, because legally, children with parents...

couldn't be adopted abroad.

Is this everything?

Do you have his parents' names...

or the neighbourhood that he lived in?

If it's not written here,

there's no way for us to know.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

(Delicious Ribs)

- Did you enjoy the food? - Yes, sir.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

No problem.

- See you. - Goodbye, sir.

- Goodbye, sir. - Goodbye, sir.

- Goodbye, sir. - Goodbye.

(Charcoal grilled ribs)

Who are you?

Answering my question is the only way you're going to walk out alive.

Who are you?

My gosh. Do you see the look in this punk's eyes?

My gosh. How scary.

I asked who you were.

Are you saying you can't answer?

Then...

Look. Do you still have nothing to say?

Hey.

This is the police. Freeze!

Okay. Everyone look here.

I'll only say this once, so pay attention.

You are all under arrest for assault, arson,

and attempted murder.

If you guys cooperate,

you will have a chance to get a reduced sentence,

so keep that in mind. Okay?

Police?

The police are supposed to show up once everything is over.

Why did you get here so early?

Goodness. Hey. Stay still.

Hey. Don't move, you punks.

I'm a police officer.

The early bird just gets beaten early.

What are you doing? Get the bird.

Don't come at me.

You'll end up dead. I'm serious.

You'll end up dead.

Darn it. You punks.

Hey. Gosh. I must've lost my mind.

Hey!

Hey!

Time.

Gosh. Hey.

- My rib... - What?

You have no regard for governmental authority.

Darn it.

Get him!

Get over here!

Darn it!

Hey!

Darn it. Come here.

Get up.

Hey, you punk.

Do you think you're a hotshot because you're a cop?

I ought to...

What is that?

That punk.

Hey!

What is this?

- Fire! - You're on fire!

Fire!

Chimera.

(Chimera)

August 8, 1984, the day Lee Sang Woo died.

What happened that day?

Did you kill him?

The 35-year-old Chimera Case...

is at the root of what's happening now.

You didn't get scared and talk, did you?

I said I would take the fall for what happened that day.

Will you help me find someone?

- Who? - The survivors.

What kind of detective are you?

If Lee Sang Woo was not Chimera,

then who is the real Chimera?
