Chimera (키마이라)

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.

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...

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?

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.

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-defence.

Okay, let go.

It's self-defence. - 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-defence.

You're going to New Zealand?

With just this much cash? - Hey.
