Memorist (Memoriseuteu / 메모리스트)

(Jun Hyo Sung)

I, Park Ki Dan, the divine being that has incarnated,

gather the sacred logic of the universe in my hand...

and grant this believer...

All four victims received the scholarship when they were 10.

The chairman of the foundation. You all know him.

Eternal life.

Park Ki Dan.

The famous cult leader? - Eternal life.

What is this?

You...

It's the telepathic detective!

It's Detective Dong Baek.

Look, it's Detective Dong Baek. - You're right.

Let go of me.

Don't you dare be reckless.

Move out.

Right now.

Listen to me.

I'll kill you.

This is an order.

How dare you behave this way.

This is not how you treat the sacred leader.

I apologize. - As if that makes it all right.

You laid hands on his sacred body.

I am Superintendent Han Sun Mi.

He will be arrested and held accountable.

You must've read...

my memories.

He is currently unfit to perform his duties.

He's not himself... - That's right. I read it all,

you psychopathic killer.

Detective Dong! - What did you just say?

Are you insane?

Let me call the Commissioner General.

I knew it.

Psychopathic skills...

are the work of the devil.

The devil?

Don't say another word.

Have you never doubted it?

Have you never thought...

that you're the devil's messenger?

That's how the devil is.

It gives false power to those...

that they deem as targets to swallow.

You're right. I'm the devil that'll drag you to the underworld.

Don't just stand there. Have security take him away!

It's still not too late.

Repent...

and you shall experience redemption.

You want me to punch your face in front of everyone?

Aren't you brave enough?

Bravery?

Security!

Just you wait.

You will soon feel what it's like to burn.

You idiot.

Do you not realize how stupid your actions were?

I don't. - He's this country's...

most influential cult leader.

So? Was that the reason for your politeness?

I wanted to throw him off his guard.

I didn't want him to know he was a prime suspect.

You expect that after marching in there?

What I wanted was to rattle his cage.

He'll only make a mistake...

if he doesn't know where we clearly stand.

But you showed him our cards.

Someone as hotheaded as you shouldn't be a cop!

Hotheaded?

Is that what you said?

I could go in there and beat the crap out of him,

but...

I'm holding back because...

His villa. Search that place first.

You barge in there without letting us know?

You caused trouble again, right? What did you do?

Goodness, Ms. Han. What brings you by?

Is there anything you'd like to order us?

We don't have much time. - Shut it.

He's not always like that,

but this ability of his makes him reckless...

from time to time.

You get adjusted to it.

Guys!

We'll see you around then.

You nutjob.

Stop yelling at someone old enough to be your dad.

Do we have the warrant?

The prosecutor won't sign off on it.

Why not?

He doesn't believe that any of this is true.

Could someone have pressured him?

No, it just seems like he's a scared little cat.

And the prosecutor? - His meeting should end soon.

Do you have the villa surrounded? - We're good here.

Only a minivan entered earlier today.

A minivan? - For the housekeepers.

They're all old ladies.

I'll have the warrant faxed to you, so get ready to move.

A fax? What if they insist...

They're only housekeepers, so power through!

What's your reason?

Didn't I already tell you?

I said there's not enough evidence.

There's more than enough. - Do your job better.

I told you I need more evidence,

so go out and get some.

Are you kidding me?

If I had such evidence,

I'd be asking for an arrest warrant.

Let's be honest here.

Do you know how many high-ranking officers...

receive monetary gifts from Park Ki Dan during the holidays?

Hundreds including the Chief Justice!

Then get them on charges of receiving bribes.

So you're telling me you're afraid of such cult followers?

A cult? Superintendent Han,

it being a cult isn't important to us.

It only is among the religious.

Then what is important? - Power.

And power comes from money.

In that sense, Park Ki Dan is at the top of the food chain.

What does that matter when we're after a killer?

If you don't know, then I have nothing more to say.

This is why even women must serve in the military.

Aren't you going to issue my warrant?

I said no and that's final.

What?

Superintendent Han, you need to come here.

What's going on?

They're here with a search and seizure warrant.

What?

What now?

Dong Baek's arrest being dismissed was humiliating.

Well, it's not like the charges...

weren't severe enough,

but the Northern Prosecutors' District Office...

We could revise and file for another arrest.

And you call yourselves prosecutors?

I know you've been calling me Evil Witch.

But if you knew how I'm being knocked around these days...

If only you knew...

What do you want? - I have a favor to ask.

You want a pass?

How childish.

No, I'll admit to all the charges.

So you want to bargain a sentence?

I'll take what you give me.

Why? - On one condition though.

Is that so?

Are you insane?

You want to go after Park Ki Dan without hard evidence?

I read memories of him committing murder.

So what? Without consent, your scans...

aren't admissible in court.

There's enough circumstantial evidence,

and the Metropolitan Investigation Unit already issued a warrant...

without my memory scans.

Then go ask Seoul Central for a warrant.

The prosecutor in charge was on his knees.

I gather the sacred logic of the universe in my hand...

and grant this believer... - He received the scholarship.

The Metropolitan Investigation Unit will have no luck at Seoul Central.

Okay,

let's say I crossed jurisdictions and issued this warrant.

Why would this office sign off on it?

Judge Song Seung Pil of the Western Prosecutors' Office.

He only goes after the lunatics...

which makes him a lunatic himself just like me.

Everyone knows that.

We only need to search his study.

His murder journal will be there.

Once Park Ki Dan is behind bars, I'll accept the charges against me.

What reason do I have for dipping my feet into your swamp?

I thought all prosecutors loved being in the spotlight.

It's risky, of course.

Getting on his bad side might ruin your career path.

However... - I'm listening.

You'll be a nationwide star...

the moment you catch him for murder.

High risk, high return.

We will execute the search warrant.

Who's the caretaker?

There isn't one.

As per the rules of criminal procedure,

we will search the premises to search for evidence...

related to Park Ki Dan's... - Is he stupid?

suspicion of murder... - They're all detectives.

including the public area surrounding it.

The search warrant...

extends to residents and caretakers of the house...

They're detectives. - What? Detect...

Detective Choi.

Let's go.

This way.

This is the prosecution. Open up.

Open up now! I'm a prosecutor!

Who's inside?
