The Eraser showed up?

Two days ago,
one of our chiefs lost his son...

- due to a terror attack.
- Who?

Deputy Chief Chun Ki Soo.

And?

He went after a firefighter at
Shimbae yesterday, but he failed.

He failed?

Was Dong Baek involved?

Yes. How did you know that?

Where is he?

We're trying to find out.

- And the firefighter?
- Pardon?

Where's the firefighter who
was attacked by the Eraser?

He's hospitalized at
Shimbae General Hospital.

By any chance, does the firefighter
know any of the doctors there?

How did you know that, sir?

Hey.

Don't forget. I didn't give you
permission to ask any questions.

I'm sorry, sir.

His wife works there as a doctor.

- Young Soo.
- Yes, sir?

If you fail to catch the Eraser,

your career will end as a superintendent.

- I'm sorry, sir.
- But I'm not like you.

It might hurt my pride a little bit.

But your position is what's on the line.

I'll keep that in mind, sir.

The prosecution is starting
to show interest in the Eraser.

They'll probably try to do a
joint investigation with the police.

Even if you catch the Eraser,
they'll take all the credit.

And if you fail,
they'll blame us for being incompetent.

Catch the Eraser before
they try to get involved.

You have a maximum of three days.
You need to catch him before then.

I'm not saying this for myself.

It's for your sake.

Okay, sir.

- Yes, sir.
- Cancel my morning schedule.

Call Kim Do Soo from the
Intelligence Department.

- The chief, sir?
- No, not the chief!

I'm talking about Inspector Kim Do Soo!

(Shimbae General Hospital)

Why isn't he waking up?

The machine here can't tell us that.

We're just monitoring him just in case.

Why don't you take him
to your research facility?

His vitals are stable,
so he'll be transferred soon.

Please keep it confidential.
The prosecution is after him.

Are you worried about him?

I've known Baek for seven years.

At first, I thought he was a con artist.

But I found out he wasn't lying,
and he suddenly felt like a savior.

I literally saw a halo.

But now,
he feels like a little brother to me.

I'm really worried about him.

I guess he's grown on me.

I just want him to be healthy.

Is he not healthy?

He's not in a good condition.
He faints a lot more often now.

You should try to stop him.

He needs to stop scanning
people's memories. It's dangerous.

What do you mean?

I can't be sure because there's
no one to compare this with.

But he's definitely dying.

- Why didn't you tell him?
- I did. I told him numerous times.

But he won't stop.

It's as if he thinks
he's destined to do this.

Scanning more memories will
be like committing suicide for him.

(Memorist)

(Memorist: Ep 12, The Child of Darkness)

(8 years ago)

Here are your 80 cents.

Did you see him smile when I held his hand?

- He looked disgusted.
- Hey.

My heart aches for him.

I can't believe a kind guy like
him is living at an orphanage.

I feel so bad for him.

- Hello.
- Hi.

I wrote this all night. I hope you read it.

- I wrote you a letter too.
- Here.

They're so old.

Why are they hitting on him?

I heard he has no friends.

- Really?
- Yes.

That's why he's always alone and so quiet.

- So he's a loner?
- Hey.

What kind of a loner is that good-looking?

Are you happy?

I'm not happy.

Why? Let me see.

I'm going to give it to the
younger kids at the orphanage.

Why? They're for you.

No reason.

What a joke.

You're the one who told me to work
part-time at the convenience store.

I wanted you to practice every
time you touched people's hands.

I never meant you should bring
along your fan club with you.

I never brought them there.

Okay, whatever. So how did it feel?

I really didn't care.

That's not what I meant. I
was talking about your practice.

Oh, the practice.

Now, I pretty much have control over it.

Before, it was too much to
handle even if it was a slight touch.

But now, I can control what I see.

You must like how those girls
constantly try to hold your hand.

But...

I'm going to quit now.

Why?

Honing your skill through training will...

I hate...

having their memories surge through me.

You said you can control it now.

But there are a few
things I still can't block out.

Their pain and sorrows.

The most heartbreaking
memories come crashing first.

I'm done with them all.

Thanks.

For what?

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have thought
of training myself like this.

Why haven't you ever
asked me for help though?

With what?

Your training. Why have you never asked me?

Right, the training.

Well,

you see...

I'll see you around then.

It doesn't work with you.

I can't seem to read you...

the way I want to.

Why not?

I don't know.

Why don't you know?

My mind...

gets clouded...

Detective?

You shouldn't get up.

Please calm down.

The patient is awake.

Detective Dong!

You shouldn't be up and
about. People are watching.

The Eraser has a big scar on his right arm.

We know. Now go back to your room.

He left something for Mr. Noh. Where is he?

He ran away.

He disappeared without a
trace in the middle of the night.

What did the Eraser leave?

He placed something...

up the nose.

The nose?

All the cameras went black
except for the elevators'.

They're managed by an outside company.

Basement level two?

It's the parking lot and we're
looking into all the dash cams.

Why was he abducted though?

What could Noh Kwan Kyu have seen?

No, this isn't about eliminating a witness.

The murder itself was his goal.

Killing Mr. Noh...

was a joy to him.

Are these all the vehicles
that left the parking lot?

Yes, it was after midnight so...

What about that gurney?

Sorry?

Was the gurney left in the parking lot?

No.

What about the vans and trucks?

We checked them all.

The corridors?

Nothing was found.

Could it be...

What is it?

- He's still in the building.
- What?

If he took Mr. Noh on the gurney,

he would've needed a van or an ambulance.

Only sedans left the parking lot though.

If it's not the parking lot, then...

What else is in the basement?

This and that, I guess.

- He'll be asphyxiated.
- Asphyxiated?

He once failed,
so he'll most likely try again.

- How?
- Find an airtight space.

You three, go that way.

Got it.

Let's check there.

(Nutrition Support Team, Cafeteria)

- The cafeteria.
- The cafeteria?

The fridge.

Yes, exactly.

We're the police.

Could we check your fridge?

Where's your freezer?

It's on the floor below.

Let's go.

I'll go and help.

Darn it.

The door was stuck,
so we called for an engineer.

Darn.

Where on earth did Se Hoon go?

Yes? What?

The freezer room.

(Morgue Authorized Personnel Only)

(Authorized Personnel Only Restricted Area)

What are you doing?

I'm a police officer. I'm
looking for a missing patient.

This is only for dead people.

Let me check this.

They're empty.

- All of them?
- Yes.

Then why is it on?

Sorry?

This one.

Why is this...

Great work.

What about me?

The worst is behind us. His vitals
are stable, so let's wait and see.

Thank you, doctor.

See? Captain Noh is tough.

This was in his nose as you said.

Okay, then.

"The innocent shall be crucified..."

"in place of the sinner."

Punishment transference.

Punishment transference?

Killing an innocent
person to get revenge...

on a sinner.

A sinner...

You've heard of the Eraser, haven't you?

The serial killer for
whom a fan club formed...

within days of being in the news.

But why...

The Eraser is after Mr. Noh Kwan Kyu.

Excuse me? My husband? Why?

You know Chun Ki Soo, don't you?

- Who?
- The police deputy chief.

His son was murdered two days ago...

by the Eraser.

This murderer who
strictly sought justification...

changed his concept.

He burned an ordinary young man to death,

then he lynched a
respected firefighter twice.

Why do you think that is?

How would I know?

"The innocent shall be
crucified in place of the sinner."

It looks like a message to you. Am I wrong?

If you don't tell us,
your husband will continue to be in danger.

It'll be easy to find out.

Shall I read your secret?

20 years ago,
I was working the night shift one day.

They said a person had died,

so I went to the morgue
to examine the body.

It was a young man who jumped to his death.

His face was severely damaged.

That was when that
police deputy chief came.

Why?

He said he wanted to know what I found.

What did you find?

The cause of death appeared to be the fall,

but it was suspicious.

What was?

He has a second-degree burn
on his arm only a few hours old.

Maybe it's a friction burn
from sliding down the cliff.

Do you think a doctor can't tell
between a burn and a scrape?

So?

I think we need an autopsy.

It's a suicide. We even found
a handwritten suicide note.

Why do we need an autopsy?

I just met with the prosecutor on the case,

and he nagged and nagged
to cut down on autopsies.

What are you doing?

Dr. Song Sook Hyun Your son is very sick,
isn't he?

What?

He needs a bone marrow donor, I believe.

What's your deal?

I'm your savior.

Someone who will save your son's life.

You forged the cause of death...

to evade an autopsy.

He said he'd help me save my son's life.

He said he'd find us a bone marrow donor.

Why did you believe a total stranger?

That young man was
dead for less than two hours.

He found out the examining
doctor's weakness within that time.

I knew instinctively...

that he had...

someone insanely powerful behind him.

(Cause of death: Internal
hemorrhage caused by falling off a cliff)

(Examining Doctor)

(Examining Doctor: Dr. Song Sook Hyun)

(Examining Doctor: Dr. Song Sook Hyun)

What was the deceased's name?

(Name: Moon Yong Dae)

Moon Yong Dae.

Are you sure?

I never once forgot that name...

for the past 20 years.

Why?

I already got punished.

My child received the bone marrow donation,

but he eventually died.

And ever since then, I've been
repenting and praying all my life.

Code blue. Code blue. There's
a code blue situation in the ICU.

Who are you?

How could you leave the ICU?

I just left to check something.

Then who's in a code blue situation?

It's another patient.

What are you doing?

Didn't I make myself clear?

I told you to get ready to be a lawyer.

How are you here?

- What?
- It's quite unusual...

to see you come all the
way here without a uniform...

and an entourage.

Name and rank.

Inspector Min Sung Han, sir.

Listen to me,
Sung Han. From this moment on,

whoever lets Han Sun Mi near a crime site,

Understood?

Yes, sir.

Get her out of here.

Let's go.

- Is he gone?
- He was here a minute ago.

Find him before it's too late.

Your big sister is looking
all over the place for you.

- Who?
- You stay here.

Why? Should I memory
scan Noh Kwan Kyu's wife?

She doesn't know much.

Then why?

He needs to stop scanning
people's memories. It's dangerous.

Take care of your condition first.

My gosh,
you're only two years older than me.

Stop acting like a big sister.

If you faint again,
you'll only get in the way.

And I'm four years older than you.

You look young for your age.

Moon Yong Dae committed
suicide on February 2000,

the year he turned 20.

His mother also committed
suicide on the same year.

His dad is the only family
member that's still alive.

His name is Moon Chul Joo.

And he still lives in Sanghyun-dong,
Shimbae City.

Okay, thanks.

No problem.

By the way...

Hello?

Two months after Moon Yong Dae got killed,

seven guys died in an abandoned warehouse.

They were killed by the Eraser.

And you think the seven
guys killed Moon Yong Dae?

What is this based on?

Chun Ki Soo is the connection.

He got involved in both cases
and completely covered them up.

Let's say the Eraser took revenge
on behalf of Moon Yong Dae.

Then who could be the
suspect? Moon Yong Dae's dad?

- What's up?
- Chun Ki Soo is missing.

What?

He even got changed before he left.

I think he went into hiding.

- Hurry up and find him.
- That's easy for you to say.

How am I supposed to find him
when he suddenly just disappeared?

You have a knack for finding people.

He's our key to what happened at Shimbae,
so hurry!

None of this would've happened
if you had scanned his memory...

Hello?

He just hung up.

Does he think he's the
commissioner general?

He expects me to do everything he says.

- Well, you do.
- What?

But isn't Baek really weird these days?

He's become so weak. He faints so often.

You're worried for nothing.

He's the weirdest guy I
know on this entire planet.

And that son of a gun
won't ever die before me.

You're so harsh.

(Moon Chul Joo)

I think this house has
been empty for a long time.

Everything is untouched.

It's as if this person
was waiting for someone.

Whoever it is might've
been waiting for the owner.

They look similar.

Hello?

Who...

- Han Sun Mi?
- The Eraser?

Dong Baek. The future murders are on you.

It's for what happened to Cho Won.

What?

Cho Won.

"Cho Won"?

That's exactly what Jin
Jae Gyu said as he died.

You must find her.

Cho Won.

He told me to find Cho Won.

You must find her no matter what.

He told me to find her no matter what.

(7 years ago)

The device is turned off.

You will be directed to voicemail.

Why is your phone turned off?

Call me once you read this text.

(Successfully sent)

- Sir, I'll be off now.
- Okay, great job.

Hello, I'm Ko Hyun Ah.

The receiver cannot be
reached. You will be directed...

Hello, I'm Ko Hyun Ah.

(Missing person)

(Missing person, Name: Sul Cho Won)

(Missing person, Name: Sul Cho Won)

He told you to find Cho Won?

Can you guess what that means?

(Situation Room)

- What's up?
- Ms. Han, it's me.

- Hey.
- This is upsetting.

I noticed you called Bong Kook but not us.

You guys can't get involved.
The deputy chief gave orders.

We don't care about that.
Bong Kook is a hacker.

Seul Bi and I are better than
him at gathering information.

Ms. Han, we found some more information.

Moon Chul Joo, Moon Yong Dae's father,

has been reported
missing for over 10 years.

- He's missing?
- Yes.

He became an alcoholic
after his son died...

and suddenly left his home.

Who reported him missing?

A relative.

His name is Moon Yong Gang,
a distant nephew.

He even paid for the utility
bills of that empty house.

Does he have any brothers or sisters?

No, he's an only child.

He was adopted.

"Adopted"?

He's Moon Chul Joo's second son.

He probably asked his relative
to register him as his son.

Moon Yong Gang has
become our usual suspect now.

Find him as fast as possible.

I already sent you his
personal information.

I'm also good at gathering information.

Moon Yong Gang, 37,
former NCO of the Special Forces.

He served in SWAT for six years.

He left the force last year and
became a private bodyguard.

Would he have had the time
to be active as the Eraser?

His client has been
overseas for half a year.

He would've had the time.

Bang Joon Seok. That's the famous...

Let's head to his residence first.

You have arrived at your destination.

What's going on?

Don't make any calls.

The prosecution is wiretapping your phone.

Woo Seok Do's team is on its way.

How do you know that?

One of our reporters is there.

This might cost you your career, you know.

I'll deal with that later on.

What's going on?

Bang Joon Seok's wife has been abducted.

She was taken yesterday,
but it was only reported just now.

There's an embargo on it.

- Assemblyman Bang's wife?
- Ms. Eun Soo Kyung.

She's known as Mother Theresa.

She mainly works charities,
so I doubt she has enemies.

Probably.

Most people agree that she's a saint.

"The innocent shall be crucified."

"In place of the sinner."

Let's see who's the sinner then.

What are you doing? The
prosecution will be here any second.

Detective!

Let's go.

Ms. Han!

We have to follow
Deputy Chief Lee's orders.

- Please let me through.
- Then I'll lose my job.

I didn't know you were a coward.

Cover your face, darn it,
or I'll have to arrest you.

- Mr. Byun.
- Head inside.

- But Deputy Chief Lee...
- You too.

She's the secretary who was
here when Ms. Eun was taken.

Where's Mr. Moon Yong Gang?

Mr. Moon?

He went to the airport to
pick up the assemblyman.

- I'd like a briefing.
- Yes, sir.

She was taken yesterday
afternoon at the parking lot...

after her regular checkup with her ob-gyn.

We were able to retrieve
the footage from a dash cam...

of a parked delivery truck.

Only the sedan was found near the hospital.

What do you remember about the suspect?

A scar.

He had a scar on his wrist.

His right arm, right?

- Yes.
- Anything else?

Have you seen someone with a similar scar?

Could you excuse us for a moment?

Sure.

Tell me about the victim's family.

- Bang Joon Seok's?
- No, her parents and relatives.

- I see.
- Ms. Han.

Her father was Eun Young Pyo,

the Supreme Court
Justice who died last year.

Meanwhile,
her mother is a school principal.

"The former head of
Shimbae District Office."

(Educational background)

"Principal of Shimbae High."

One of them must be a sinner.

Or them both.

Let's now hear your scenario.

The Eraser is done pretending
to be the Executioner.

He's now seeking his own revenge...

by killing the family
members of his enemies.

- Family members?
- Yes, just like he suffered.

The pain of losing a family member.

Then Chun Ki Soo and
the wife of the firefighter...

They both covered up a murder.

Instead of the killer,
he's going after those who covered it up?

He's moving his way up.

That way,
the killer will slowly be terrorized.

Fear is how the Eraser seeks revenge.

He'll take longer to
close in on a target...

the more heinous his crime is.

Then Ms. Eun being abducted...

She's paying for her parents' sin.

Is Moon Yong Gang the Eraser then?

There's a 50-50 chance.

Check if your guns are
loaded first. He's a fast one.

And here's another speedster.

What a nice little scene.

Look at you all gathered
around a suspect with a warrant...

out for his arrest.

This is why you cops
should be supervised by us.

- Don't you agree, Mr. Byun?
- Please wait out here.

You can take Detective Dong in a moment.

What is this, a school comedy club?

You'll regret making a mess of things here.

- Don't just stand there.
- They've arrived.

I'm Byun Young Soo, chief of Seoul Metro.

Any news on my wife?

We're doing our best.

What's going on here?

I'm Prosecutor Woo Seok Do of
the Central Prosecutors' Office.

Is this a joint investigation?

No, sir. We're here to
arrest a potential criminal...

who broke into your home.

- "A potential criminal"?
- I think he's referring to me.

Detective Dong?

- What brings you by?
- Oh, right.

I'm after the abductor.

We'll deal with him right away, sir.

He's been suspended from duty anyway.

Are you trying to mock me?

Sorry? I don't quite follow.

I'm asking if you'll let my wife die...

since I'm not in office now.

Of course not.

You should force him to be
on this case if you have to,

but you're thinking about removing him?

That's not the case, sir.

Leave.

Move out immediately.

Starting with you.

There he comes.

Weren't you able to arrest Detective Dong?

Is it true that you have...

a personal vendetta against Detective Dong?

- Make way.
- Is it a joint investigation?

Did the kidnapper call?

Was she taken for a political reason?

- Sir!
- Any words?

Will the case be taken
by Detective Dong then?

Please find my wife.

Can I see your arm?

My arm?

May I ask why?

Because the suspect has
a big scar on his right arm.

Just show him already.

Wait.

The left arm too.

Roll up your sleeve.

It looked like a knife scar.

How did you get that?

I got hurt while working
with explosives in the army.

Then may I read your memory...

from when Ms. Eun was abducted?

I refuse.

What do you think you're doing?

What should I do?

- Nothing.
- Find another way.

Can you think of a better
way in this situation?

If we arrest him and interrogate...

What are you doing? Put down the knife.

Don't move.

These are live bullets. Put it down.

You'll end up dead.

Mr. Moon.

Were you nothing but a lowlife?

You piece of trash.

Please don't kill me.

The garage.

- Get a roadblock up.
- We need a roadblock.

Roadblock. Now!

- Get him!
- Hey!

Hey!

Stop!

No! My bike!

Get in!

He couldn't have gone far.

I can't catch a motorcycle
in the heart of a city.

So what? You'll give up?

I know where he's headed. The GPS log.

Make a left up ahead.

He left the hospital right after
Eun Soo Kyung was abducted.

(Shimbae City)

Please let me go.

I won't tell the police anything.

I didn't see your face.

(The innocent shall be
crucified in place of the sinner)

Darn it.

Search the premises.

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir.

(Restricted Number)

It wasn't me. I'm not the killer.

Moon Yong Gang?

I was just hunting him.

The Eraser.

Liar.

I've been hunting him my whole life.

I almost have him.

Who is he?

A scar on his forearm.

I saw a scar on his right arm.

Who is that?

It's all there.

The red button.

"Red button"?

Wait. It may be a bomb.

Stay back.

- Excuse me! Excuse me!
- What is it?

You can't do that!

You can't do that!

What do you think you're doing?

Security!

You were there 20 years ago in Shimbae!

- What?
- You're the Eraser.

- What?
- You can't scan him.

Stop it!

It was you.

You liar.

You were the one who killed
seven people in Shimbae...

20 years ago.

No. No.

No! No, that can't be!

You're the Eraser who killed...

all those people.

(Memorist)

He may be young, but that kid is evil.

Don't look down on that kid...

if you don't want to die in agony.

Dong Baek holds a grudge against Shimbae...

for what happened 20 years ago.

Dong Baek has become our usual suspect.

Did you kill Park Ki Dan?

I wanted to strangle him to death.

I wanted him to feel the
pain of all those victims.

The Eraser has a bigger plan.

You think there's someone else who
purposely gathered all those cases?

He's here to kill his next target.
