(Chimera)

(All characters, locations, religions,)

(and incidents of this drama are fictional.)

Hello?

Why won't you pick up your phone?

I sent you a message last night...

and said Lee Joong Yeop was fine.

Where is he...

right now?

At my place.

Be careful. You might have a tail on you, okay?

Hello?

Ms. Kim? Hello?

I need to take bus number 19, but I'm late.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to the school.

School?

Hanmyung University.

(Eights Villa)

Cha Eun Soo.

That is her new name.

Chimera will disappear forever.

Along with the name Ryu Sung Hee.

Joong Yeop.

What's wrong?

I... I'm...

I... Chi...

(Episode 14)

Are you feeling better?

Are you in your right mind?

Where were you trying to go? Your face is all over the news.

Did something happen?

(September 1)

(September 1)

What is this?

This one...

One second.

Something suddenly came up at home yesterday.

I'm sorry.

Was it your mother?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

What about his mother?

She has dementia.

Jae Hwan, let's communicate before you suddenly take off.

We have things that come up at home too.

You aren't asking.

If we caught him or not at the terminal yesterday.

Don't you want to know?

Does Detective Cha know about this?

If he had known, he wouldn't have brought me here.

We looked everywhere for her, and she had always been so close.

Ms. Ryu Sung Hee has dementia, right?

It's in progress.

She's in the process of losing all of her current memories.

Later on, she might only be left with memories as Ryu Sung Hee.

That means Chimera from 35 years ago will return.

So why did she kill her fellow researchers?

She was a whistle-blower,

so I'm sure she was under a threat.

I heard that Ryu Sung Hee's house at that time was set on fire,

and her kid died then.

What if her colleagues set the house on fire to kill her...

on purpose?

What if her kid died in that process?

Let's not jump to conclusions.

What should we tell Detective Cha?

Nothing for now.

I need to think about it.

How can we not say anything?

With this at home, he'll find out soon enough.

I will keep these.

Ms. Kim.

You won't report it, will you?

It will come out one day.

Detective Cha must know before the world does.

I need some time.

I don't get it.

Why are you worried about him?

Are you in that kind of position?

Why did you come to Korea?

Didn't you come here to reveal the truth of your father's death?

Proof that your father was innocent...

is staring you in the face,

and you want time?

The person you're that worried about...

is the son of the person who really killed your father.

Aren't you angry?

Don't you feel wronged...

about the time and pain you suffered through?

The reason you came back after 35 years.

Don't forget it.

I waited 35 years.

I can wait a few more days.

Detective Cha...

is the only person who trusted and helped me.

Give me some time.

I will think about what to do with these documents.

You worry about yourself now.

You can't stay here any longer.

I'll find a safe house.

I'll pick you up when it's ready.

Stay here and don't go outside.

How is your father?

He must be stressed out because of me.

For all sorts of things, I'd like to apologize...

to your family.

From now on, call me if you need help.

Not anyone else.

You can't release those yet.

I heard something weird yesterday.

What?

A friend based in Hwaju told me.

- Hwaju Police Station? - Yes.

The investigators who took Lee Joong Yeop...

said Lee took their guns from them.

But the search team found their guns...

on the first day of the search.

Lee Joong Yeop had taken out the bullets and left the guns.

No one said the guns were found.

Exactly.

No one put that in the report?

I don't get it,

but the people who found the guns collected them and documented it.

They just vanished.

Wasn't it just a clerical error?

It's a gun of all things.

Who would leave that out?

It rarely happens unless it was deliberate.

There's no way an outsider could get to the evidence.

Someone from the inside took it?

I think the prosecutor is a bit fishy.

He's from the countryside and has no connections here.

Why do you think he was transferred to Seoul?

It wasn't even transfer season.

I'm pretty sure there's someone high up...

who is involved in all of this.

What do you mean it's staged?

Listen carefully.

Someone staged the escape.

To kill Lee Joong Yeop.

Who would do that?

If even a prosecutor is involved,

I think it's someone from Seoryun Group.

Seoryun?

Does the captain know?

We shouldn't keep this to ourselves.

Don't say anything just yet.

Pretend you don't know anything.

Why? We should tell the captain at least.

Jae Hwan.

Did you talk to Lee Joong Yeop?

You didn't hide him, did you?

You are out of your mind.

You could get arrested too.

Don't you know the prosecutors are all over this case?

I know that.

Is there a way to find out who was in touch?

I'm pretty sure someone's behind it.

You know that...

the prosecutors took our evidence and witnesses.

Think of something, will you?

The phone. That should still be at police headquarters.

What phone?

The investigator's phone.

The one Lee Joong Yeop took.

The one found on the bus to Gangwon Province?

Yes. It was sent to the Cyber Bureau...

for digital forensics.

Okay, that's good.

Do you have friends there?

- I do. - Contact them in secret.

- Okay? - Yes.

Leave a little later.

I'll check and get back to you.

Bye.

- I'm going out for a bit. - Okay.

It's a number from their call history.

They called it frequently recently.

It was also the last call they made.

Are you going to call?

Oh, gosh.

(Ho Dong)

Darn it.

Hello, there.

Thanks for your hard work.

They're on their way out.

Okay.

He's late.

What's that? Is there a fire?

Go and check.

Hello, again.

Look who's here.

We meet again here.

- Gosh. - Why you...

What do you want?

Relax or you'll get hurt.

This is self-defense.

Okay, let go.

- It's self-defense. - Yes, okay.

Don't move.

How dare you assault and injure...

a prosecutor's investigator?

I got hit a lot in my 20-year career as a sportsman.

Your injury will heal in a few weeks.

It was self-defense.

(Ticket Itinerary)

You're going to New Zealand?

- With just this much cash? - Hey.

You're from Joongsan Police Station, aren't you?

You're abusing your authority here.

Watch your manners.

How much did you take?

What were you paid with?

A property overseas?

Money to study abroad?

I'll find out once I start looking.

Cooperation with overseas agencies is really easy these days.

Okay. Inspectors.

You'll be called back to Korea anyway.

Why exhaust yourselves by leaving in the first place?

Just confess right now. Who was behind...

the escape incident?

What are you talking about?

We were just leaving for a vacation.

A vacation?

Your flight is one way.

Are you going to row yourself back to the country?

We're...

people who enforce the law.

Get out...

while I'm being nice.

My goodness.

Is this because I'm being nice?

I was being polite, but this is...

- Knock, knock? - Hey. What took you so long?

I couldn't find any fried chicken places in the area.

You should've gotten something else then.

- Hey, open the box. - Why didn't you just order in?

- Hello. - Goodness.

What are you doing?

Let's eat first I'm sure you're hungry.

Here we go.

I'm sorry for being so rough with you guys.

Here.

Here you go. I'm sorry.

I was too rough on you.

Let's make a toast. For justice! Cheers!

Look over here. One, two, three!

Okay. One more photo.

- One, two, three! - What are you doing?

Goodness.

- Let me see. - Here.

You came out nicely.

Why, you little...

It's a nice photo of you...

colluding with a detective from the investigation unit.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Who should I send it to?

Mr. Moon? Prosecutor Choi Jong Ho?

No, never mind. I should just send it to Chairman Seo Hyun Tae.

Oh, did I tell you?

Chairman Seo and I are really close.

We drink together.

Do you think Chairman Seo would believe in you over one photo?

Hey, shut your mouth!

You crazy idiot.

I was right.

Chairman Seo.

Did he order you to do this?

Thank you. I'll enjoy this.

What's gotten into you?

I haven't heard from you for ages.

- Are you getting married? - No, not at all.

Have you been well?

I've been fine.

Tell me. What is it?

I want to give you a hot item.

What? Why would a major broadcasting news outlet...

want to give a tip to an internet news outlet?

It was blocked from the majors.

Is it dirty or dangerous?

It's on the dangerous side.

I like stories that are dirty.

Want me to get you one million views?

An interview with a fugitive.

It'll be an exclusive.

Are you talking about the fugitive who was a doctor?

The Chimera suspect?

He's not the real culprit.

It's not a simple escape incident either.

Hey. Don't make it complicated. Just get to the point.

There's something huge behind it.

How huge?

Seoryun.

Seoryun?

- It has been four days... - Yes, I know where that is.

since the suspect escaped with a gun.

- But the police are struggling... - Thank you for your help, Ms. Kim.

in their investigation to find him.

I'll see you there.

It appears the fugitive already left the area,

- Okay. - according to experts.

The citizens are getting more nervous,

and the police will not easily avoid taking responsibility.

Hey.

Why are you following me?

You've been following me from back there.

Why are you following me?

Why are you following me around in the middle of the day?

How can women walk around outside like this?

Hey, mister.

Should I call the cops?

Want me to do that?

- Hey! - Get him!

Go after him!

Hello, Ms. Kim.

What?

Where are you?

Hey! Stop right there!

- Get him! - Stop!

- Get him! - Stop him!

Yes. All right.

I'm near JM Building. Where are you?

- Hey, you! - Stop right there!

- Over there! - Hey!

Stop!

- Hey! - Hey!

Hey.

Where is he?

I can't find him.

He disappeared after he got chased around here.

Have you gone insane?

Why did you make him leave the house?

You can yell at me after we save him.

Those men seemed like experts.

- Darn it, where are is he? - Over there!

Hey, come here.

Come.

I think he's up there.

Wait, go to the security office and ask them for help.

I'll stall for time. Hurry.

Oh, gosh.

Get him.

Darn you.

Who are you people?

Who are you?

I'm a detective. Take a step back.

Move out.

Darn it.

Drop everything in your hands.

Article 258 of the Criminal Code, Special Bodily Injury on Another.

If you keep that in your hands, you'll each get ten years in prison.

Just go on your way, Detective.

You'll only get in trouble.

You won't listen, will you?

Okay.

Article 136 of the Criminal Code, add Obstruction of Official Duties.

There are a number of police squads coming upstairs right now.

It'll be the end of all of you, okay?

I'll count to ten.

Drop your weapons and kneel down before I'm done.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Get him.

Darn it, you jerk!

I heard the alarm go off over here.

Where was it?

Maybe it was a different building.

There's a huge parking tower right next to this building.

No, it went off in the parking lot of this building.

- Wait. - What?

What's that?

Where's the microphone for the parking lot?

Sorry?

The speakers!

There are the squads.

Darn it.

Move out!

- Move out. - Move out.

Who are you? Who are you with?

Are you all right?

I told you to stay home. Why did you come out?

Are you badly injured?

Wait.

What?

What's wrong?

Don't come near me!

Mr. Lee.

Cha Jae Hwan.

(Emergency Medical Center)

A monster in Greek mythology.

Cerberus, the dog with three heads.

(Emergency Medical Center)

Cerberus never sleeps...

and guards the door to the afterlife.

Its family was all ugly and violent monsters.

Its father, its mother,

and its three siblings too.

They did evil and killed humans in cruel ways.

Cerberus was the only one never to commit murder.

Why not?

It was born a monster,

so humans must have feared and hated it.

Why was it born a monster only not to live like one?

Why is he still alive?

You said you were confident.

You call this confidence?

What if he saw your face?

You're sorry?

Will an apology cut it?

Be responsible!

Darn it.

What is it?

Why did you call me out here?

It's not something to discuss at home.

What is it about?

Lee Joong Yeop was shot.

Did you know that?

What happened?

It wasn't me.

Was it Hyun Tae, then?

It was, wasn't it?

Why is he going so far?

Even if TH-5 is a problem,

he should deal with it at the company level.

- He had someone shot? - Hey.

Not so loud.

Someone might hear.

He's not in his right mind.

He's panicked.

What is it...

that Hyun Tae is really afraid of?

How would I know?

It keeps bothering me.

Chimera.

What?

The Chimera mark that's always left at the scene.

Hyun Tae has Chimera tattooed on his shoulder.

I was going to brush it off as a coincidence.

Hey.

How many do you think know about his tattoo?

What about his old fling?

What was her name?

It was tacky.

Who?

Ryu Sung Hee?

You knew about that?

My dad had her looked up, not me.

She was a fling he had shortly before we married.

Don't mind her.

She died.

When?

About 35 years ago.

Wait, 35 years ago?

In 1984?

Where were you at?

Well...

I got a tip and checked it out.

It was nothing.

Report to me before you go somewhere!

You all do as you please.

Pull yourselves together.

What's wrong with you lot?

I apologize.

Hey.

You had a drink, didn't you?

I did not.

I'm not an alcoholic that drinks all the time.

Have you heard?

Lee Joong Yeop got shot.

What, really?

But they can't find the shooter.

Hey.

Say you shot him and get a special promotion.

He wouldn't get promoted for that.

He'd be lucky not to get in trouble for discharging his weapon.

Does that mean the case is closed?

Not at all. He's not dead.

Oh...

He's still alive?

This is Jang Ha Na at Joongsan's Special Investigation Unit.

What?

Sir.

Songrim Patrol Division called.

The escape was staged...

by Seo Hyun Tae.

If he wants Joong Yeop dead,

it's not safe here either.

You're in just as much danger yourself.

It has been three days since Chimera sent the glitter bomb and warning.

It's time he made a move.

Then his target would be Chief Bae.

I can't watch him 24 hours a day.

Where is Ms. Kim?

She took it hard, so I sent her home.

(Detective Lee Gun Young)

It's Detective Lee.

Hello.

Agent Hathaway, I called...

because someone's claiming to be Chimera.

I think you should come over and take a look.

I'll bring Detective Cha.

No, wait. Don't tell Jae Hwan.

Come on your own.

Tell me if you need or want anything.

I'd like cold water.

She went to a patrol division...

and said she was Chimera.

She's Detective Cha's mother.

Yes.

I looked up her medical records,

and she was diagnosed with dementia.

But to dismiss her as a patient with dementia,

her confession was too detailed.

As well as the evidence.

What evidence?

She had something strange with her.

Oxidized steel and aluminum powder.

Thermite.

How dangerous is this?

When oxidized steel and aluminum meet,

the reaction causes heat that's over 3,000°C.

It's called thermite. Even if you only use a paper cup's worth...

a metal plate can melt.

Then the fact that she has these two components with her...

must mean they have a purpose. Right?

Hello, ma'am.

Do you remember me?

I met you at your home yesterday.

Let me introduce myself again.

I'm Eugene Hathaway, an FBI profiler.

If you're a profiler,

is that different from a detective?

Well, if I were to put it simply,

I analyze the behavior of criminals.

Can you tell me everything?

Would you like some more water?

Can you...

help me?

Are you sure we don't need to give Jae Hwan a call?

It's probably nothing. She's a patient after all.

I'm sure she's not really Chimera.

Even if she has dementia, why would she turn herself in?

As Chimera, no less.

Since Jae Hwan is obsessed with Chimera right now,

she might just be saying things she overheard.

Everything she said was too logical to say that she made it up...

or she overheard it.

That's why the patrol division tossed the case to us.

Let's keep an eye on her.

How can I help you?

You can take your time and tell me when you've calmed down.

I don't have the time.

What?

Because every day, a part of me disappears.

What do you mean by that?

My memories...

are disappearing.

Right. You have dementia.

If you want, I can call a doctor for you.

No. It has to be a police officer.

Do you feel threatened often,

anxious, or hear auditory hallucinations?

A murder will occur.

We need to stop it!

Are you saying that someone will be murdered?

Yes.

Who?

Seo Hyun Tae.

Seo Hyun Tae?

Seo Hyun Tae, the chairman of Seoryun Group.

Who will be harming him?

Chimera.

Detective Jung. Record this.

Yes, sir.

Did you just say Chimera?

The culprit...

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

in a fire.

That Chimera.

Then are you telling me that you know who Chimera is?

Who is it?

Ryu Sung Hee.

Ryu Sung Hee?

The same Ryu Sung Hee who was on the research team with the victims?

Ma'am.

She's already dead.

No.

She's not dead.

She lived in hiding...

for 35 years.

So Ryu Sung Hee is alive?

Then you must know where she is.

She's right here.

Right now.

In this room.

Did you just tell me...

that you were Ryu Sung Hee?

On August 31, 1984,

Ryu Sung Hee committed suicide.

However,

she miraculously survived.

She lost her memory,

and she lived in hiding for 35 years...

inside of me.

Now, she will start waking up.

Once I, Cha Eun Soo, lose my memories,

Ryu Sung Hee...

will take my place...

and come back.

So Ryu Sung Hee will come back and commit murder?

Why do you think that?

Because 35 years ago,

she failed.

She wants to finish the last step...

of her revenge.

Chief Bae. This is Cha Jae Hwan.

The surgery was a success,

and Lee Joong Yeop just regained consciousness.

But Lee Joong Yeop requested to meet with you personally...

to tell you something.

I think you should come here.

The receiver cannot be reached.

(I'm sorry. I can't talk on the phone right now.)

(Chief Bae Seung Kwan)

Hey, it's me.

Don't wait for me today and go home.

I'll just drive myself home.

Okay. Good job today.

(Wonil Hospital, Surgery Center)

Jae Hwan.

Chief Bae, what brings you here?

Where's Lee Joong Yeop? I heard he woke up.

Sorry?

(Chief Bae, this is Chae Jae Hwan. The surgery was a success,)

(and Lee Joong Yeop just regained consciousness.)

I never sent you this text message.

This isn't even my number.

I'll look into it and find out who sent you this.

You should go back home and get some rest.

Your home and office are under strict security...

ever since that fake bomb incident.

You'll be safe.

Goodness, these weird people.

(Wonil Hospital, Surgery Center)

Chief Bae.

Do you have anything else to say to me?

Like what?

You have information.

Jae Hwan.

Do you also think I'm a joke?

Sorry?

Do I seem like a joke to you too?

Of course.

I'm sure.

Jae Hwan.

Who's the bravest person in this world?

A guy who can fight against dozens of armed thugs?

No.

Someone who can say to the victim,

"I'm sorry. I was wrong."

It's someone who can say that.

Why is that so hard?

You should live a good life.

Don't get too proud trying to have a little more than others.

I mean this, kid.

Do you understand?

The doors are closing.

What is this mess in the middle of the night?

(Ms. Cha)

(Text message)

(Mom.)

Mom. I can't go home today.

Don't wait for me.

Don't just grab anything to eat. Make sure you eat dinner.

Check the stove before you go to sleep...

(Check the stove before you go to sleep...)

(Chief Bae, this is Chae Jae Hwan. The surgery was a success...)

(But Lee Joong Yeop requested to meet with you personally...)

It has been three days since Chimera sent the glitter bomb and warning.

I'm sure it's about time he made a move.

(Area 4)

(Basement 3)

Chief Bae.

Get out of the car!

Cerberus, the three siblings in Greek mythology were...

born as monsters.

They had ferocious tempers, so they brutally murdered people.

One of the three siblings of Cerberus was a woman.

She had a lion's head,

a goat's body, and a snake's tail,

an evil monster that killed people with its fiery breath.

Her name is...

Chimera.

(Chimera)

No one else got closer to him.

Look in a mirror and see how your eyes look.

There's something I must protect.

What were you trying to say back then?

Right before you were shot.

But what if everything is the truth that we must accept?

What if we must live with this?

After Seung Kwan, it's my turn.

Who's Kim Hyo Kyung? Who is she?

The only one whom you love.

Shall I kill him?
