(Chimera)

(All characters, locations, religions,)

(and incidents of this drama are fictional.)

(Episode 8)

Why are you telling me this?

You're driving me insane.

Why did you show up now after years of disappearance?

This was a big decision on my part too.

I'm sure you have a reason for making that decision.

You could've easily put everything behind and moved on.

Because I believe my father is innocent.

Families of criminals all say the same thing.

They said their sons, their husbands would never do such a thing.

I'm certain.

I heard it from him.

When?

Dad, does it hurt a lot?

No, I'm okay.

Dad...

Son.

Don't cry.

I am...

I am innocent.

And those who are innocent get released.

That's the law.

Dad, come home quickly.

Mom is sick.

Okay.

I'll be home soon.

So stop crying.

Look after Mom until I get home.

Okay?

Tae Young, you're a brave man.

Aren't you?

Your younger sibling will be born soon,

so you're about to become a big brother.

Will you be a whiny brother?

No.

Then you have to take courage. Don't you think?

Please don't cry.

It's time to go now.

- No, Dad. - Come on.

Let's go before scary guys come in.

Tae Young, there's no need to listen to every word people say.

Do you understand?

- No! - One second.

Choose what's right.

In the process, you may end up getting left alone.

Even if that happens,

you must never lose your dignity.

Do you understand?

- Dad! - Tae Young.

- Tae Young. - Dad!

Dad! No!

Dad!

Mr. Han Ju Seok.

I remember him as a good man.

I believed he would tell me the truth.

I found him too late.

Detective Cha.

I am convinced my dad didn't kill himself.

He told me that he would come home.

And he killed himself two days later?

Leaving his family?

The truth will be hard to find.

There are no records left.

There was no autopsy,

and he was cremated.

Everyone who was involved is dead...

(Hahm Yong Bok, Han Ju Seok, Bae Seung Kwan)

(Arresting officers: Hahm Yong Bok, Han Ju Seok, Bae Seung Kwan)

Hey, Gun Young.

(Joongsan Police Station)

On Friday evening at around 21 hours,

at Hwai-ro 113, Joongsan-gu,

the construction site of Seoryun Group's new building,

there was an explosion, cause of which is yet unknown.

Joongsan Fire Department responded to the call,

and they said just one office was hit.

It completely burned down.

Any casualties?

Two men died on site.

One was gravely wounded.

Why did they...

hand over this case to us?

Are all the fires in Seoul ours?

I'm dead busy already.

At around 21 hours, around the time of the explosion,

UBS Newsroom got a weird phone call.

(Seoryun Group Construction Site Explosion)

The caller...

identified himself as Chimera.

Chimera called them?

Wasn't it a prank?

There are many weirdos these days.

He told them to check out the aerial view of the site.

This is...

what the fire department sent us.

Didn't you hear me?

Chimera.

I'm Chimera.

I'm Chimera!

Isn't it a prank call?

The call came in...

at around the time of the explosion at Seoryun's site.

That means he called almost as soon as it happened.

That means this call is real.

Did he say anything else?

He said this, then hung up.

You should've dragged it on and made him talk.

You lack the skill.

If this is real, shouldn't we call the police?

Let's listen again and see if we get something.

Didn't you hear me?

Chimera.

I'm Chimera.

Chimera?

Is it the same lighter?

Check properly.

See if it's the same one from 35 years ago.

What about Lee Joong Yeop?

Are you sure he was on duty?

Find out what he's up to.

Okay. Let's talk again soon.

Bye.

Wear this.

Why?

So I look like I was called out of bed?

People are dead.

It won't look good if you're too well-dressed.

Grief is a great marketing tool.

The shirt...

Wear this one.

Here you go.

You're making me do all sorts of things.

Who are the victims?

The site manager and two subcontractors.

The manager and one subcontractor died.

The other guy is in critical condition.

Offer compensation and funeral services...

as if they were staff at your headquarters.

And tell the family of the injured our best doctors will treat him.

Do you even have a spare bed?

There are lots of empty VIP suites.

You should meet the families of the dead...

and visit the wounded man.

You're good at being dramatic.

As soon as we broke ground, this happened.

I lose hundreds of thousands of dollars a day...

on wasted labor and rented machinery.

And we have to push back the scheduled move...

because the building won't be ready.

It's such a headache.

Try to be positive.

Isn't it fortunate it was an attack and not an accident?

Gosh.

We get to be the victim. That's a rare opportunity.

Why Chimera out of all the monsters?

The bomber must share your hobby.

Watch what you say.

This must really be getting to you.

You never get angry.

Let it go.

Sorry, but I can't tell you that.

We'll send a press release as soon as we have something.

- You don't have to evacuate. - Mister!

- Don't curse me out. - Trust me.

How old are you?

I'm a detective. This is a police station.

- I'm old enough. - The Lord's will?

That's why I'm here!

- There's no war! - But...

- Yes. - Just wait.

- There is no rush. - Yes, sir.

This is the police station.

Call them and find out a way to resolve it.

This is Joongsan Police...

Yes.

I'm sorry about that. We're doing our best...

Don't speak so lightly.

No one here is slacking off.

If we quit, who will catch the culprit?

Will you?

Fine, then!

Record this and post it wherever you want!

Call me once more...

- Calm down and... - and I will trace this number.

I dare you to call again.

This explosion was caused by gasoline.

About five or six 20L water bottles worth.

If he used that much, he was determined to blow the whole place.

Yes.

How did it catch fire, then?

That's the weird part.

There's no ignition device.

According to the survivor's statement,

the manager made a cup of coffee,

smelled the water, and commented on it.

Then it just blew up.

There was nothing else and it just blew up?

Yes.

We found something odd at the site.

(KCSI, Police)

What is this?

Adhesive tape and cellophane paper.

With traces of sulfuric acid.

It looks like some kind of chemical ignition device.

I heard the atmosphere over there was pretty frigid.

It would be weird if it were great.

It must be really bad if the chief got involved.

What?

The chief...

of Joongsan Police?

Yes, Chief Bae Seung Kwan.

He came by when we were analyzing the parcel bomb.

He looked dreadfully stressed out.

The fuel used was gasoline, but there was no ignition source.

They think that was the ignition device.

What could it be?

I don't know what this is,

but it looks like the culprit delayed the explosion.

It was delayed?

Say he has a huge bottle of gasoline.

What if he sets fire to it?

He gets blown up too.

He'll have delayed the ignition.

To give him time to get away.

I bet he calculated the time down to the last second.

What about the lighter?

I heard they found another Chimera lighter.

It was found a little way down from the scene...

on top of the bird's-eye view map of the building plans.

It was easy to find.

It was easy to find?

That's odd.

Up until now, the culprit put the lighter near the victim.

That way the victim felt fear as they looked at it.

But this time, it wasn't near the victim.

It was focused on a third person...

and on that person's perspective.

The weather is nice today.

Do you want to go out and do a chemical experiment with me?

What kind of experiment?

Synthesizing vitamin D.

Here you go.

It's hot. Be careful.

Thank you.

I went to Hanmyung University last Tuesday.

I saw you leaving after your lecture,

but I ignored you. I saw you with someone.

Were you planning on not telling me?

I made a promise to keep it a secret.

Don't be mistaken. We didn't talk about anything special.

I care more about...

what you think about me.

Was I not trustworthy enough...

as a person and a detective to tell me about that?

According to your standards,

is a person like me...

unqualified to be considered a colleague?

Even still, I made a promise.

I see.

It's not because I don't trust you.

I never trust anyone.

I didn't come to Korea because I wanted to.

I hated the idea of coming here,

but I was forced to come here because I made a mistake.

I went with my gut and trusted someone and made a huge mistake.

I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Other people get a second chance when they make a mistake,

but that doesn't apply to people like me.

He asked me to help him.

He said he had something to do in Korea.

He also asked me not to lose him.

He didn't talk about anything specific. That's all.

To be honest,

I met with Lee Joong Yeop yesterday as well.

He told me that he was Lee Sang Woo's son.

What?

Lee Joong Yeop is Lee Tae Young.

He said that himself?

So?

So?

I don't know.

That man told me that he was Lee Tae Young,

but I wondered why he would tell me that when it wouldn't benefit him.

What's weird is that...

I should be happy and think, "This is our guy."

"I finally got him."

But I feel bad for him.

Why do I keep feeling pity for him?

When I think about the late Captain Han,

having these kinds of thoughts are too...

I don't know.

- I... - Don't worry about him.

You quit. Right?

Of course.

You already have two outs.

Don't get caught again. I ought to...

I'm not going to drink.

If I do, I'll take out the steering wheel.

How's Ko Gwang Soo?

He's doing his best, but he's doing everything on his own.

He won't even eat with us,

and I have no idea...

what he's thinking.

I put him there to solve the case quickly,

but he's just stalling.

What about Lee Joong Yeop? Did you look into him?

Yes. Lee Joong Yeop isn't seeing anyone...

nor does he have money troubles.

But he's looking for someone.

He's looking for someone? Who?

Former police officers.

I believe he's looking for people who worked at...

the Macheon Police Department.

What should I do?

- About what? - Lee Joong Yeop.

Keep looking into it.

Focus on who he's been meeting.

But why are you interested in Lee Joong Yeop?

Are you planning on arresting the guy you already let go once?

Hey, Im Pil Sung.

You're at an age where you're curious about everything. Right?

It's not that.

Do your best.

Don't forget even the most minor details and be thorough. Okay?

Yes, sir.

Make sure Ko Gwang Soo doesn't catch you.

What is it, and why did you call me...

- to come so early... - Come in.

Who are you to tell a detective to come and go?

Are you okay with some breakfast tea?

Break... Tea?

Instead of that, do you have anything I can chew on?

You call me to come so early in the morning,

but you're a terrible host.

I don't really eat at home.

You know what's in this house. Every nook and cranny of it.

Let me see. Did you get anything new?

Your home...

I feel like it got even bigger.

Goodness.

I'm giving that painting back.

Why?

I can't seem to like it as much as I did before.

How much was it?

A couple of million dollars.

I heard the Chimera lighter was also found after this explosion.

Is that true?

What if it is?

Did you call me out here on a busy day to ask me that?

If you were curious, you could've watched the news.

I'm just as desperate to find out who the real culprit is.

Detective Cha.

I'll give you what I have.

So give me what you have too.

Why should I?

To me, you're still suspect number one.

I know that you can't trust me.

I'm just the son of the man you believe to be Chimera.

The real culprit must be caught for me to be dismissed as a suspect.

Catching the real culprit is also your goal, Detective Cha.

And?

My goal is...

finding the real culprit of the case from 35 years ago...

and proving my father's innocence.

The Chimera from 1984 and the Chimera from 2019.

These two are connected.

If we chase after them from each end,

we will end up meeting in the middle.

What do you want?

Let me help you.

That's how you can help me.

You can't have access to the staff's personnel records.

It's for an investigation.

Do you have a warrant?

At the very least, I'll need an official request for cooperation.

Are schools always this uptight?

Victims of the Chimera Case were on research teams here.

The school won't welcome an investigation like this.

Someone must know something among this big crowd.

There is somebody who might know something.

Why did you suddenly want to eat?

This place must be expensive.

I just wanted to show support for my junior.

What do you like?

Anything is fine.

Whatever gets ready the fastest.

You're here.

Hey, Young Jun.

Man, you're looking great.

I got a little tanned from playing golf.

We should play sometime.

He's a senior from school.

She's the ace of our newsroom.

Hello, my name is Kim Hyo Kyung.

I'm Han Jong Woon.

(Seoryun Group, Han Jong Woon, Chief of Planning and Cooperation)

- Take a seat. - Sure.

Seoryun Group's Planning and Cooperation?

You must be quite busy these days.

We aren't used to this situation.

We've always faced troubles and turmoils,

but expandability is the problem.

This case might become extended...

into a problem within the group.

A problem within the group?

There's somebody who's creating unnecessary controversies.

That's why the role of the media is important.

Ms. Kim.

I hear your next item is something rather interesting.

I heard it was about serial murders that broke out 35 years ago.

I'll look forward to seeing it on TV.

You might find some of its content unpleasant.

Hyo Kyung.

What's there for us to feel unpleasant about?

This is nothing...

but an old, petty murder case.

Isn't that so?

What should we eat?

How about what you had last time?

Sure, I liked that.

Thanks.

What do you think? A nice guy, right?

He's unbelievably smart.

Of course. That's why he received a scholarship from Seoryun.

Yes.

You must be very busy, Chief.

You have to make news and keep people like me quiet.

What do you mean, keep you quiet?

What Mr. Han said sounded like he wanted me to leave out...

everything in regards to TH-5.

We just want to keep things smooth.

It never hurts to be careful.

Thanks to you, I had a good meal.

- Please excuse me. - Why?

Where are you going?

I haven't had anything this fancy for a while.

I can't seem to digest what I had.

A copycat crime?

Until this day, Chimera has kept himself concealed.

But this time, it's different.

He called the media himself,

saying that he's the Chimera.

Maybe it was about time he exposed his identity.

We need to pay more attention...

that the culprit of the attack at Seoryun has a clear intention.

Seoryun's site for the new building was very symbolic for them.

So why did the attacker turn that into the target?

Because that place means something very significant to the culprit?

You're right. It's too simple.

Also, he called the media and exposed himself.

Until this day, Chimera...

has never asserted him this directly.

What about the lighter?

We always found...

the Chimera lighter as his signature in explosions before this.

Isn't that already assertive enough?

A signature is a sign that one leaves.

It's more like a logo for a brand.

And such logos are usually put in unseen places.

You can't see it on the surface,

but for those who are interested and consumers,

it quietly shows its presence.

But this time,

it looks more like a statement printed across a T-shirt.

This attack puts him on a display.

It's completely different...

from the reclusive and philosophic Chimera.

Then why is this guy insisting that he's Chimera?

Chimera is famous, so he wants to be like him.

What an attention seeker.

That's why...

this person may be more dangerous.

Sorry?

The more people get hurt, the more people will be interested.

First, let's investigate those who hold a grudge against Seoryun.

Good grief. What took you so long?

My gosh, I just skipped my entire afternoon to be here.

I'll leave.

Goodness, come here.

I'm just grateful.

So who's this?

He's my doctor.

And I've been receiving advice regarding TH-5.

You're a doctor?

- I am. - Which department?

Which hospital?

Now, okay. We don't have much time.

Let's go. Come on.

Come.

Of course, the school will keep it quiet.

Seoryun entrusts us with projects in their entirety a few times a year.

The dorm you saw on your way here was...

also built by Seoryun.

Our school played the main role in developing TH-5.

But after its harmfulness came out and people began to die,

things became very serious around here too.

There it is.

That's me. That's Professor Park. And they're all our staff.

And three of them have died, right?

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

I feel bad for saying this about a dead man,

but Professor Park was full of problems.

What kind of problems?

He wasn't talented, but he was obsessed with money.

All he ever wanted to do was humor the higher-ups.

These two were with Professor Park.

It wasn't a normal team.

Poor Sung Hee was wasted.

This woman here?

She did all the work.

She was a real genius.

This lady Ryu Sung Hee...

and Baek Eun Cheol, they're still alive, right?

Do you know where they live?

No.

Sung Hee lived close to the university at the time.

There was a rumor that she died when her house burned down.

She died in a fire?

Are you saying there could be...

four Chimera victims?

It was just talk. I don't know for sure.

Some say they saw her in another area with a new husband.

By new husband, you mean...

She was a widow with a child.

Then what about Baek Eun Cheol?

Yes, him.

He went abroad to study right before the incident.

I heard he settled there.

Did Professor Park's team...

do anything to cause someone to have a grudge against them?

Well,

I can't say for sure.

Everyone who was involved is now dead.

Oh, there is one more person. Seo Hyun Tae.

Seo Hyun Tae?

As in Seoryun Group's chairman?

He's the eldest son of Taesam Chemicals' chairman.

His title at the time was director.

Taesam was nothing at the time.

But after they developed TH-5...

as the result of the joint research,

they got noticed.

That's how Taesam merged with Seoryun,

and then he married Seoryun's heiress.

Did Chairman Seo have close ties...

with the research team at the time?

They weren't just close. He stayed up all night with them.

He was incredibly passionate.

I guess that's how he became the chairman of a huge company.

Seo Hyun Tae?

The Chimera victims from 35 years ago,

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

They were researchers working on developing TH-5.

All three of them?

What is TH-5?

You ignorant fool. Watch the news.

The toxic component in Evergreen.

Oh, the thing a guy set himself on fire over?

Yes, that.

I guess there were problems even in the developing stages.

So, 35 years ago,

Taesam Chemicals and Hanmyung University...

developed TH-5.

The man in charge at the time...

was Seo Hyun Tae.

So what?

You think that's enough to say he's the next target?

I'm saying there's a possibility.

Aren't you jumping to conclusions?

If he were a target,

why is he still alive?

He'd have died 35 years ago like the other victims.

Are you trying to make things bad for us again?

Don't get carried away when you don't have proof.

Jae Hwan could be right.

Even Agent Hathaway said...

Seoryun Group was a target.

Hey, did you join his fan club too?

I'll meet him at least.

Oh. Come on in.

Hello. I'm Cha Jae Hwan...

with Joongsan's Special Investigation Unit.

- I'm Lee Gun Young. - Take a seat.

I'm under-dressed, aren't I?

I have a charity match to support children with cancer.

So, do you like baseball?

I don't like it, but I'm good at it.

- What? - I'm good at every sport.

I should invite the people from your station, then.

It'll be a huge help to the sick kids.

You shouldn't attend too many public events.

Your secretary must have relayed our warning.

The explosion at the site of your new building.

Your company could be the target.

And as the chairman, your safety can't be guaranteed.

So I must ask you.

Recently or in the past, were you threatened...

or did you do something to upset others?

- What is your name again? - It's Cha Jae Hwan.

Detective Cha.

Many people out there hate me.

I can't do anything if I mind them all.

It doesn't hurt to be cautious.

Shouldn't you guarantee the public's safety?

What are you lot doing, telling me to be careful?

I'm sure you know,

but we did have some problems recently.

You mean the protester who set himself on fire?

Did anything bother you about that incident,

or did you notice anything strange?

Well...

There wasn't much.

Was there not?

Give us a call if you think of something.

Even if it's trivial.

Do you like Frederick Forsyth?

"No Comebacks".

This is no longer available in Korea.

Did I not lock the door?

It was open.

I'm Kim Hyo Kyung from UBS.

I'm Eugene Hathaway.

You're a hard person to meet.

You're quite popular.

Pardon?

You're famous for solving the chemical mysteries...

behind the Chimera Case.

That wasn't all me.

Take a seat anyway.

I don't need tea or coffee.

I'll get to the point so we can both save time.

Chimera. You know the case well.

Pardon?

You've been following the whole thing,

so you must know about Chimera more than anyone.

I'm not sure.

The recent case got us...

a slot to air a special broadcast.

It'll be titled "Chimera, The Unfinished Story".

Why?

Is it a bad title?

Or are you usually this stoic?

Could there be anything I can do to help?

The investigation's still ongoing,

so there's a lot of information I can't share.

I want to help you with the investigation.

What's happening now...

are just like the three incidents from 35 years ago.

I think...

the recent cases are tied to the past ones.

What do you think?

You sound very confident.

I'm sorry,

but I know almost nothing about the 35-year-old case.

The same goes for me too.

A long time has passed.

Not many records survived.

That's why I suggest we ask the public for tips.

There must be...

someone out there, somewhere, who knows something.

What do you say?

The identity of the 1984 Chimera.

Don't you want to work together to find out?

A radio show?

It's called "Kim Se Jeong's World Magnifier".

It's a popular current events program.

They asked me to introduce them to a guest.

I don't feel comfortable doing broadcasts.

It's a radio show. It's not overwhelming.

Let's try working together.

I'll send you a copy of the script. Take a look at it and call me.

Oh, Detective Cha!

Oh, my. What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

I could ask you the same thing.

I'm here to meet with Eugene.

Are you guys close?

- No. - No.

Did you get home safely last night?

Yes, well...

Of course.

Weren't you leaving? Aren't you busy?

I am busy,

but what are you planning to do after sending me away?

What would we do? Goodness.

If it's a secret conversation, please share it with me later.

Did you forget about our cooperation?

You promised me that morning.

Right,

so "that morning" doesn't mean what you think it means.

You must be close to that reporter seeing as to how you're cooperating.

I can't say we're really close. We're just...

Throw it.

Is this the ignition device?

It's just a bottle bomb.

You're right. It's a Molotov cocktail.

You put a flammable liquid into a glass bottle.

Then you cover the opening with a cloth, light it, and throw it.

Why do they call the bottle bomb a cocktail?

During World War 2, they used these to incapacitate the Soviet tanks...

that were invading Finland.

The Soviet foreign minister at the time, Molotov,

called the bombs they threw at Finland "bread".

They say that the people were angry and called this a cocktail...

in response to it.

Isn't this approach too classic?

The culprit used a Molotov cocktail as his ignition device?

It's the same fundamentals, but it's a bit different.

They call it the modified Molotov cocktail.

How does it differ from the regular Molotov cocktails?

It gives the culprit plenty of time...

to escape the crime scene.

So it's like a time bomb.

It's a chemical time bomb.

You guys found cellophane at the scene of the crime. Right?

Yes, we did.

That's the key point of delayed ignition.

I'll show you.

There's potassium chlorate and sugar in here.

First, pour sulfuric acid into an empty bottle.

Then put in a flammable liquid like gasoline or ethanol.

This is ethanol.

- Doesn't it look like water? - Yes.

Then the fire starter.

Here.

Out of all the water bottles,

only one of them was a Molotov cocktail.

The others contained gasoline.

When the bottle with the Molotov cocktail explodes,

the others will explode after.

I'm sure he marked it.

The red tape on the cellophane.

Can you time it?

If he wants to cause an explosion he needs to light it up,

but that could put him in danger.

That's why he chose the delayed ignition method.

This is when you delay the moment of the explosion.

If you flip the bottle upside-down, the sulfuric acid at the bottom...

comes towards the lid and touches the cellophane.

Then it will begin melting the cellophane.

The moment the potassium chlorate and sugar touch the sulfuric acid...

The time it takes for the sulfuric acid to melt the cellophane...

is 30 to 40 seconds.

That's when the culprit escapes the scene of the crime.

A large-scale explosion.

It seems like Chimera has changed.

Right?

It's different from the cases before this.

Agent Hathaway, could we look at this as a totally different case?

While that is a possibility,

I can't say for sure.

I see.

Who is it?

My mom.

She's not the type to call me at this hour.

Yes, Madam Cha.

Hello, ma'am.

My mom?

- You're right. - What's going on?

- Excuse me. - What is going on?

- Excuse me. - Ma'am.

Mom.

Mom. Are you okay?

- Did you get hurt? - You're here.

Why did you come?

What happened?

It's nothing big.

I put something on the stove and forgot about it.

Goodness.

Where's the steel wool?

- Just leave it. - Don't get up.

What were you making?

What? Ox bone soup.

Why did you decide to make it all of a sudden?

It's been a while since I made it.

I wanted to make a pot and give Senior Inspector Han some.

What?

Don't tell him I burned the pot while making it.

He's going to get worried.

But...

why didn't you come with him today?

Yes, this is Bae Seung Kwan.

Yes.

No.

He doesn't have any family to contact.

As for the funeral...

If you tell me the cost, I'll take care of it.

Okay.

(Chief Bae Seung Kwan)

Poor thing.

I'm sorry, Yong Bok.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, Yong Bok.

I'm sorry, Yong Bok.

Do you remember?

It was 35 years in 1984.

It was early summer right before the LA Olympics.

(Kim Se Jeong's World Magnifier)

An incident struck fear into the hearts of the people of Macheon.

Three explosions and three victims.

Not only was the culprit never found,

but even the MO of the crime was never found out...

in this mysterious case.

We called this the Chimera Case.

Recently, cases which resembled...

the methods of this one broke out, drawing the attention of many.

Hello, you're listening to "Kim Se Jeong's World Magnifier".

I'm the host, Kim Se Jeong.

Today, we'll trace the mysterious serial explosion,

the secret behind the so-called Chimera Case.

I'm here today...

with Eugene Hathaway,

a profiler from the FBI...

who has been chasing after the Chimera Case for a long time...

and Reporter Kim Hyo Kyung of UBS Newsroom.

I'm here with two guests in the studio.

Please say hello to the listeners.

Hello, I'm Eugene Hathaway.

Hello, I'm Kim Hyo Kyung.

(Kim Se Jeong's radio, "World Magnifier")

("Kim Se Jeong's World Magnifier")

Let me ask you a direct question.

Ms. Kim, why do we call this the Chimera Case?

Lighters with Chimera's figure...

were always found on the scene of the fire.

So it's the culprit's sign, like a brand.

In a way, yes.

But what do you mean...

a case similar to this one has surfaced in 2019?

Three murder cases which broke out over the last month show...

the same method of crime as the Chimera Case from 35 years ago.

When you say they're the same, it doesn't mean they're similar,

but they're exactly the same. Is that correct, Agent Hathaway?

I believe they're exactly the same for the first two cases.

But parcel bomb incident...

that broke out in Gyeongpo a few days ago...

seems to have taken a step further.

At this point in time, I can't help but mention...

the explosion at Seoryun Group Construction Site...

from three days ago.

Starting with this case,

the culprit came out and said he was Chimera.

What do you think about this case?

("Kim Se Jeong's World Magnifier")

Things haven't developed enough...

for me to make an official statement.

Then what's your personal take?

Personally speaking,

this case was most likely done by a copycat criminal.

A copycat criminal?

What's the reason?

Until now, the target had been a particular individual.

This time, the target was unclear.

This can also mean the goal of the culprit is unclear.

So the culprit had an unclear goal.

I have a different take on this.

Please, Ms. Kim.

I also agree with Agent Hathaway...

that this was a copycat crime.

But in my opinion, the culprit had a clear goal.

Ms. Kim, in your opinion,

what do you think the culprit was after?

The culprit made a call...

to the TV station right after he committed the crime.

He disclosed himself as Chimera.

That was the moment when his intention showed.

What was he after?

Attention.

Attention?

Simply put, he just wants some attention...

and become famous.

I see. Attention.

That's an interesting take.

Could you explain that in a little more detail?

(It's dangerous! That can provoke the culprit!)

(It's dangerous! That can provoke the culprit!)

The culprit is probably a loner.

I doubt he has any friends.

A social misfit, I might say.

A loner, an isolated person.

He probably uses most of his time...

looking up bombs, accidents, and incidents...

on the Internet.

Naturally, he would either be unemployed...

or have trouble finding a permanent job.

There's a high possibility that a guy like him...

has ever had a normal relationship with a woman.

I see, a guy who has never had a relationship?

That's an interesting analysis.

It's an assumption based on no grounds.

What you just said...

wasn't based on any objective facts.

It was purely imagined.

Then Agent Hathaway,

according to your objective facts,

what do you think the culprit is like?

The culprit is...

a man who prepared for a long time and waited for perfect timing.

He probably has a 9-to-5 job.

There's a high possibility that he never did anything...

to stand out, threaten, or make him look like a loser.

And what's your ground?

Because a terrorist attack is a crime of conviction.

Someone with a strong conviction can be patient beyond imagination.

Even their own lives seem petty to them.

That's the difference between someone who has convictions...

and someone who only pretends as if they do.

- A call? - Yes.

Can we get him connected?

Make him stay on the line.

A man who claims that he's Chimera just called.

We have no time, so I'll get him on the line now.

We received a call...

as you two had a discussion.

A man who claims to be Chimera...

wishes to speak to you.

Hey, I'm sorry. You must be the busiest now.

Yes, I think Mom came down with flu.

I'm taking her to the hospital today.

Okay. Call me if anything happens. Bye.

Mom, I made porridge. Wake up.

("Kim Se Jeong's World Magnifier")

Hello?

Hello? Please speak.

("Kim Se Jeong's World Magnifier")

You're on the line. Please speak.

Hello?

Hello?

Is my voice on air?

Yes, you're on air right now.

Are you really Chimera?

Yes, that's me.

Are you the one who caused the explosion...

at the Seoryun Group Construction Site in Joongsan-gu?

Hello? We'd like to believe you,

so could you share a few details for us to verify you?

Did you see the lighter?

I put it up where you can easily find it,

on the blueprint of the construction site.

I had five 20L water bottles filled with gasoline.

At first, I took six bottles.

But they were too heavy, so I couldn't carry them all.

(That's correct.)

Hello?

You called us because you wanted to tell us something, right?

Exactly.

You people only ask about this case. Why are you all so slow?

Do you think this will be the end?

Do you mean that you have the next crime planned?

Precisely.

What's your plan?

Seo Hyun Tae.

Sorry? Who?

The chairman of Seoryun Group.

Seo Hyun Tae.

Mom.

Mom, are you unable to get up?

You need to eat something...

to have enough energy to go see a doctor.

Are you very sick?

Hey.

It's you.

Director Seo.

What?

(Chimera)

It's completely different from Chimera.

There's something you didn't tell me about my father's death.

I'm willing to take the risk.

Are you not?

What are you really?

I'm a monster.

Let's find the black list from Seoryun's legal team.

If you mess up, we all die.

Sir, look into him for me.

Agent Hathaway's place. I think she's with him.

You're not Chimera. You're a fake.

What do you know?

Shall I tell the truth?

It's completely different from Chimera.

There's something you didn't tell me about my father's death.

- What are you really? - I'm a monster.

Agent Hathaway's place. I think she's with him.

You're not Chimera. You're a fake.

What do you know?

Shall I tell the truth?
