(Episode 15. The Murderer Inside Me)

Tell me who did it.

Who is it?

The culprit is...

Let me out...

and I'll tell you at the hospital.

Tell me before I kill you!

How am I to trust you and tell you?

I'm not as foolish as the serial killer...

or prison guard...

whom you managed to manipulate.

Darn it!

Blame this...

on your failure to keep our promise.

I can actually kill you.

That would be great too.

For you to become a murderer.

That's what I want.

Prepare the documents needed to grant me a stay of execution.

Once I use those to get to the hospital,

I'll tell you who the culprit is.

Do you think I'll believe what you say?

Don't believe what I say.

Believe the evidence.

The evidence?

There's a crucial piece of evidence.

If you want to see it,

get me out of here.

I can't let him get to me.

I'll look into it first.

But how?

Yes.

(Pyeongjin Police Station)

The year 1994 was 28 years ago.

We destroyed the files already.

It must be somewhere in this neighborhood.

Yes.

It's here.

It hasn't changed at all.

How does it still look the same?

"The gorilla read a comic book..."

"right in front of the teacher's desk."

I guess the gorilla likes to read comic books.

"Then he suddenly raised his hand."

Oh, why?

"The gorilla said..."

Excuse me.

May I ask you something?

Do you live here?

No.

Are you here to do some repairs?

Yes.

Then...

may I get the homeowner's contact information?

Oh, I used to live here when I was a child.

I just have some questions.

I don't have their contact info.

Someone asked me to take care of this.

Where should I begin?

(Hanmaeum Butcher and Restaurant)

Oh, my.

My, this is good. That too. That's delicious too.

My gosh. Everything is so delicious.

Okay, this will do. Yes.

(Dr. Shin Ha Ru)

Goodness.

Hey.

This unemployed man is busy trying to come up with business ideas.

What? A favor?

Goodness. You really have no shame.

Thanks to you, I'm jobless right now.

How dare you ask me for a favor?

No. No way!

No, I won't listen.

I can't hear you.

What?

A murder case?

So this "Dr. Shin" and his wife described in this article...

are your parents?

And you have no memory of that day?

I vaguely remember some things.

I think my mom shouted at me to run away,

but I'm not sure.

Can't you ask your aunt for the details?

No.

I feel like she's hiding something from me,

so I should look into it myself.

Is there a way to find the detective who was in charge of the case?

If it happened in 1994, it was before I became a cop,

so I don't know them personally.

Oh, that's right.

There's someone who might know them.

Sir, here.

Thank you, my lifesaver.

Sir.

Yes.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

The thing is...

Detective Geum handed in his resignation because...

You know why he did it?

He told you?

Yes, it's because...

While working on Yi Na's case, I got very frustrated,

so the phone records...

Sir!

Detective Geum, you're here.

Oh, look who's here.

Detective Geum, you said...

you'd let a spider spin a web on your throat and starve to death.

I have a favor to ask.

You said you were quitting. What favor?

I want to take care of this before I quit.

You were with Seongbuk Police in the past, right?

That's right.

I had such thick hair back then. Those were my prime years.

Everyone called me "Leonardo DiCaprio of Seongbuk Police."

Listen, by any chance...

Did you work on this case?

"Doctor Couple Murder?"

That's right. I remember this case.

Were you in charge of the case?

No, I wasn't. I just said I remembered it.

A different team worked on this case.

Goodness.

Then do you still keep in touch with anyone on that team?

Hold on. Which team was it?

Was it Captain Park, who was always chewing on dried pollack?

Was it Captain Noh, who liked briquette pork bulgogi?

I can't really remember.

Focus...

and think, okay?

Yes, focus.

I don't remember.

My goodness.

But you remember dried pollack and briquette pork bulgogi.

Hey, wait until you get to my age.

You pee, turn around, and pee again because you forgot.

We don't have time to crack jokes.

Should we try hypnotherapy?

Oh.

Right.

That reminds me.

Really?

Yes!

How did it go?

Did you get his contact info?

Oh.

You're their son.

I had no idea that the kid was now a celebrity.

Back then,

your uncle said he was taking you to the US.

- Yes. - That was what happened, right?

That reminds me. I met your aunt recently.

Why didn't she tell me that you were very famous now?

Are you here for the same reason as your aunt?

Yes.

That professor who killed his own patients.

What was his name?

That professor who taught your father. You must suspect him too.

That's right. Professor Hwang Dong Woo.

Yes, that's right.

But you see,

I don't think it was him.

Did he have a credible alibi?

Back then and even now,

there is only one person that I suspect.

(Shin Jae Sung)

Who would do this?

(Research on Regulatory DNA Function of the Brain-Nervous System)

(Shin Jae Sung, Korea National University)

This can't be.

(Dr. Shin Ji Hyung)

The person you have reached is...

Back then and even now,

there is only one person that I suspect.

The person who called it in.

Your father's colleague at the lab.

He had an alibi...

and didn't have a motive,

so he was ruled out as a suspect.

However, he was the one I found most suspicious.

You see, hypnosis didn't work on him at all.

It means he was psychologically resistant to it.

Hey, Ha Ru.

I just met that detective.

The detective who was in charge...

of my parents' case.

I see. I'm at your place now.

Come home.

We'll talk when you get here.

All right.

Why did you lie to me?

To...

protect you.

You developed aphasia and memory loss because of it.

That's how traumatic the event was for you.

Your doctors warned me...

that the condition could lead to a mental disorder...

and suggested that we replace...

your traumatic memories with something else.

A car accident.

Once we did that,

you started talking again as if a miracle had happened.

You were doing better,

so why would I bother making you relive painful memories?

That's why.

Okay.

We'll hold that off for now.

You met the detective on the case to ask about Dr. Hwang.

Why?

He was your father's advisory professor,

and the murderer had been approaching you.

I think I guessed wrong though.

This was delivered to you.

The regulatory DNA of the brain-nervous system.

(Shin Jae Sung)

Isn't this Director Park's doctoral dissertation?

Why is Dad's name on it though?

Did Director Park...

It seems as though...

he stole your father's...

dissertation.

He hasn't been taking my calls.

I called the university, but they said he was on leave.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Then...

Did Director Park murder my parents?

I'm not sure.

Whoever sent you this in your father's name...

would know.

It had to be Hwang Dong Woo.

He could've had a copy...

since he was your father's advisory professor.

Hwang said he had evidence...

that pointed to the killer.

What?

This leaves me with no choice.

I have to accept...

Hwang's deal.

The tests will be conducted at Korea National University Hospital.

Thank you.

I'll inform you of the killer...

once we arrive at the hospital.

I can't have you eating or burning...

another consent form.

What's wrong? Did that startle you?

When it comes to you, I know everything.

I'll only ask this.

Director Park Chi Gook.

Is he the killer?

Well, I'll see you at the hospital.

(Jangwon Penitentiary)

I hope things are going as planned.

(Jangwon Penitentiary)

(Ministry of Justice)

(Korea National University Hospital)

As if I'm going to let you go free.

Inmate 3901 is entering the hospital room.

Goodness. You were already here.

Of course you're curious.

- Who hurt your parents... - Cut the nonsense.

I'd like a word with him alone.

Sure.

I know this is an urgent matter for you,

but let me at least take a seat.

The evidence...

It's right here.

(13 Haeanseo-ro, Sangdo-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon)

(Ganghwa-gun)

(Auntie)

Hey.

So? Did he hand over the evidence?

No, he told me where it was.

I'm off to retrieve it.

No way.

Where are you? Let me come with you.

Forget it. I'll call you when I get there.

But something doesn't seem right.

It could be a trap.

Then I'll gladly get caught it in.

I'm on the road, so I'll hang up.

Where are you? At least tell me where...

Something about this is wrong.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

(Seobu Police Station)

Hello, please connect me...

to the Neuroscientific Investigation Team.

The person you called is unavailable. Please try again.

He's not taking our calls either.

What do we do?

Hwang Dong Woo could be playing him.

Ha Ru is being irrational, which isn't like him at all.

Detective Geum, can you help?

Sure. We'll start by tracking his current location.

I'll call you once I know where he is.

Sure. Please don't worry too much.

Bye.

We should locate Dr. Brain.

Okay. I'll say it's a possible suicide.

This is definitely the place.

Where is it?

Why did you contact Ha Ru?

Oh, dear.

Do you know you're overly tense right now?

What?

Are you afraid...

I'll tell Ha Ru that you killed them?

Professor.

I know you have that audio system in your cell.

Is this a threat?

This old man is waiting to die, locked up behind bars.

You're threatening me that you'll take my only joy away?

How petty.

Please don't make me...

become any pettier.

Why did you contact Ha Ru?

Oh, dear.

Do you know you're overly tense right now?

What?

Are you afraid...

I'll tell Ha Ru that you killed them?

Professor.

I know you have that audio system in your cell.

Is this a threat?

This old man is waiting to die, locked up behind bars.

You're threatening me that you'll take my only joy away?

How petty.

Please don't make me...

become any pettier.

The murder weapon wasn't found at the scene.

Based on the wounds,

they thought it was a knife used by mountaineers.

I'm looking for a way to salvage your career.

Serve the community for now.

I'll call you back when the consensus turns favorable.

Don't do anything silly.

No.

You already know everything.

No!

Ha Ru.

It wasn't me.

Dr. Hwang set this up!

Why'd you do it?

Just so...

you could steal his paper?

Yes.

I stole his paper.

But your father's murderer...

It's Dr. Hwang. Dr. Hwang killed him!

The evidence will say...

who killed him.

This was all fake!

Save your nonsense...

for prison.

You're done for.

I'll tell the world...

your ugly secret.

I told you!

Why won't you...

believe me?

I said no!

I have no choice now.

I'm sorry, Ha Ru.

I'll kill you!

It wasn't me.

No!

Ha Ru.

You tried to kill me.

You must be the killer.

(Dissecting Violence: The Psychopathic Brain)

(The shocking secret of the brain hidden behind violence!)

You must know.

You have the same such brain.

You can't overcome your fury.

You're destined to become a murderer.

No!

No, Dr. Brain.

Don't do this.

Please, be yourself.

Think rationally.

It really wasn't me.

Please!

Try to remember.

It's there, in your memory.

You saw it all!

Why did you try to kill me?

I knew Dr. Hwang was the killer,

and I turned a blind eye.

You were afraid...

that would come out?

Dr. Hwang blackmailed me.

He said he'd forged evidence.

I only came here to try to get rid of the fake proof.

Why else would I be here?

If you kill me,

you'll play right into his hands.

Yes.

If you do this, you'll become a murderer.

For you to become a murderer.

That's what I want.

Please!

Put that down so we can talk. Dr. Brain!

It's not that I believe you.

I'll find out for myself.

Wait.

Wait up, Dr. Brain.

Well done.

That was commendable.

I held back because I wasn't sure.

So the killer's one or the other.

It's him or Dr. Hwang.

Where are you going?

I must meet...

the murderer inside me.

(Seobu Police Station)

He'll use hypnosis to remember his parents' killer?

That's the quickest option.

If he was traumatized enough to suffer from dissociative amnesia,

psychologically speaking, he'll be very defensive.

It won't be easy to get him to succumb.

(Interrogation Room 1)

(Interrogation Room 2)

Dr. Shin.

You injected yourself?

Yes.

The medication will help hypnotize me.

- Dr. Brain. - Dr. Brain.

They don't use this drug much.

It could be dangerous.

I'm putting my life on the line as this is so important to me.

I've only read about this.

I've never done it in person.

The medication will induce hypnosis.

All you must do...

is help to withdraw the right memories.

I'm ready.

Let's begin.

Okay.

Let's go.

All right.

You feel very comfortable right now.

Focus on your breathing.

Is it because of the medication?

He's falling into a hypnotic state very quickly.

It's probably because he's so determined to do this.

Now, you are...

entering your brain. In 1, 2, 3.

You will now enter the engram room, where your memories are stored.

I see the files.

Good.

The moment...

you take out the file...

labeled as "October 12, 1994"...

(October 12, 1994)

The memories that had been locked away will be released.

What are you doing?

I'm asleep.

Where are your parents?

They're in the living room.

What are you talking about?

- Are you... - He's on the phone.

feigning ignorance right now?

- My father. - Evidence?

How many times do I have to tell you? I saw it.

He's talking to someone on the phone.

Someone is at the door.

My father is...

talking to someone.

Focus on that person's voice.

Have you heard the voice before?

I'm not sure.

I don't know.

Let's keep going.

What else do you hear?

Shouting.

My father...

He's fighting with someone.

I hear a scream.

Mom.

No!

Ha Ru, run away. Hurry!

Hey, kid.

You should join them.

Hey, kid!

Come here, kiddo.

Hey, open up!

That man...

He's banging...

on the car window.

He's banging on the car window.

Freeze that moment as a still image.

Then zoom in on his face.

In 1, 2, 3.

Do you see his face?

I can't look at him.

We should stop.

He looks pale.

He hasn't seen the killer's face yet.

Let's keep going for a few more moments.

You're safe. Don't worry.

He can't hurt you.

Don't be afraid. All right.

When I count to three,

you'll be able to clearly see his face.

One, two...

What does he look like?

What is he wearing?

My eyes...

I can't open my eyes.

You'll open your eyes when you hear me tap on the desk.

One, two, three.

Now, do you see his face?

Did he pass out?

We should stop here. Wake him up.

This is dangerous, especially because of the medication.

All right. I'll count to 3 now. On the count of 3,

you will wake up and get out of the hypnotic state.

One. You feel strength returning to your body...

as well as your mental clarity.

Two. You feel good and comfortable...

as you're waking up gradually.

Three. Open your eyes...

and wake up.

On the count of three, you will get out of your memories.

One, two, three.

All right. I'll count to three again.

You'll wake up on the count of three.

One, two, three.

Why is he crying?

Is it because of the medication?

Should we call paramedics?

I don't think...

he wants to get out of his hypnotic state.

Dr. Shin.

Dr. Shin?

Is it because of the side effects of the medication?

Or is he just frozen because he's too scared?

I'm not sure.

He doesn't want to wake up.

Ha Ru, you should go.

No.

I want to stay here with you.

Go and tell them.

Tell them who killed us.

Take slow breaths.

Dr. Shin, you're safe.

Keep breathing.

Are you all right?

Dr. Brain.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Did you see the killer's face?

Yes.

The killer...

Hey, kid.

Hey, kid!

Hey, kid.

Hey, kid.

It was Hwang Dong Woo.

Dr. Shin.

I came...

to plead with you.

Must you blow this out of proportion?

Professor,

you killed a patient.

Am I supposed...

to turn a blind eye?

One last time,

I ask you with sincerity.

Let it slide.

I can't.

This isn't something you can request.

Then,

I guess I'll have to take action.

Please.

Please.

Please...

I'm glad...

I let him live that day.

Thanks to that,

I'm now getting to have my fun.

(Interrogation Room 2)

Wait.

He played us all.

I get it, so calm down for a second.

We should come up with a plan.

You had a hard time in there and should rest.

You're in no condition to drive.

Detective Geum will do that.

(Interrogation Room 2)

I'll go with him.

You were up all night, so please get some rest.

I have a bad feeling about this.

I feel like something's going to happen.

Hwang Dong Woo is currently at the hospital.

(Korea National University Hospital)

Even amid all that, you planted a tracker on him?

You're unbelievable, Dr. Brain.

Are you all right though?

You couldn't snap out of the hypnosis earlier.

Was it a side effect of the drug?

No.

I didn't want to come out of the hypnosis.

Why not?

Because my parents were there.

Come on. Was that necessary?

I think I'm going to cry.

The one who should cry is me...

since I saw my parents for the first time in 28 years.

Seriously?

It's making me sad.

I'll teach that punk a lesson.

I'll be the one to do that, so...

Hold on.

Why is he on the move?

This is more than just a few steps.

I should confirm his location.

Call the hospital for me.

(Hwang)

Check if Hwang Dong Woo is in the hospital room.

He hasn't moved, sir.

I've been outside the door all night.

His tracker suggests he's on the move.

Check again.

Yes, sir.

It's not like the old man could jump out the window.

What the...

He's not here. He escaped.

He must've escaped through the window.

Security breach. Inmate 3901 has escaped.

Contact the police and ask for their cooperation.

- Got it. - Sure.

(25N 1567)

(25N 1567)

Security footage suggests...

that he left the building in a car. We're tracking him.

Got it. We're on our way.

We should go after him too.

Sure.

(Ministry of Justice)

(Police)

(Ministry of Justice)

(Police)

(Ministry of Justice)

A black sedan is passing by Danggu Park.

Plate number 25N 1567.

It's headed for Sacha-dong.

We're almost on his tail.

He's slowing down though.

What?

(Coating Car Wash)

(Coating Car Wash)

What the... Why is he washing his car?

(25N 1567)

That's weird.

It says he's still inside.

(Gas station)

(Coating Car Wash)

(25N 1567)

(Coating Car Wash)

We'd like your cooperation, sir.

(Exit)

(Coating Car Wash)

(25N 1567)

Shoot.

(Police)

(Start engine at signal)

Get out!

Get out before I smash the window!

What's the matter?

Is this your jacket?

Well, the truth is...

(Korea National University Hospital)

I stole it.

Don't lie! You're in on it, aren't you?

What are you talking about?

No, Dr. Brain.

He's a thief. Take it from here.

You're under arrest for theft.

You can ask for a lawyer...

and remain silent.

He's definitely with Dr. Hwang.

Okay, fine.

Let's find out.

Darn it.

It's theft all right.

We caught him leaving, wearing the said jacket.

Hwang Dong Woo walked off...

without even trying to avoid the cameras.

He sent us on a wild goose chase...

so he could walk leisurely out.

He didn't meet with the thief.

He met this man here.

He has another accomplice?

This man drove off.

The police said they'd track him down.

I saw him somewhere.

May I ask you something?

Are you here to do some repairs?

Yes. Someone asked me to take care of this.

I remember.

I know where Hwang Dong Woo went.

Dr. Brain. Where are you going?

- Thanks a lot. - Sure.

That man really left this home?

I'm positive.

- Hwang Dong Woo! - Stop right there!

Darn it.

Let's see. Should we...

smash something?

A detective can't even open a door?

You bet I can.

This will do,

but having no warrant makes it breaking and entering.

If you're scared, hand that over and leave.

I am scared, but I don't want to leave.

It's just the same.

How could that be?

I believe they sold it in a hurry before moving to the US.

Did Hwang Dong Woo buy the house, then?

His own murder scene?

He must've rejoiced as he relived that moment.

He's a real psychopath.

My gosh.

What's wrong?

It's gas. Get out.

Oh, no...

What's this?

What have you done?

Okay.

Starting now,

we'll play a game.

A sympathy game.

A game to turn Dr. Shin...

into a murderer.

(Brain Works)

Sympathize? With Dr. Brain?

Something must've happened.

Let's trace them.

What if I can't sympathize with him?

Then you'll all become murderers.

Yi Na!

If you want me dead, go ahead and kill me!

An arched window?

I'm sorry...

that I have this brain.

Yi Na!

Dr. Brain is not like you.

Good idea.

You killed him.

No.
