Memorist (Memoriseuteu / 메모리스트)

(Jun Hyo Sung)

I'm on my way there.

What if the pervert hits on me?

Don't you know how rich he is? Your entire life will change.

I'll probably die before my life changes.

Life is like a jungle.

You either die or win something big.

Then why don't you live in the oratory?

"Pray for eternal life..."

What's wrong?

What's the matter? - This is so annoying.

Hey. - Don't ask.

This place is filled with weirdos.

I told you to come early.

I was busy studying.

You're under academic probation. Hurry up.

I really don't want to go.

He's a perverted murderer.

How dare you say that? Do you want to see me die?

The entire country knows that except for you and Dad.

That's just the evil spirits trying to slander him.

Hurry up. Take off your jacket.

Adversity is a blessing in disguise.

Eternal life. - Eternal life.

I'm sure...

you all asked this at least once.

"Why do you test me like this?"

Eternal life. - Eternal life.

The creator of all beings shares our pain.

But why does he give us so many troubles?

And why does he allow me, his loyal vassal...

that has incarnated,

to go through such severe adversity?

Eternal life. - Eternal life.

But it's all because he loves us.

Eternal life. - Eternal life.

You need to know this.

All the prophets we know...

were each given a hardship that they could endure.

Even normal humans were given such painful hardships.

So imagine what kind of hardship he must have in store...

for someone who has incarnated from the skies...

Oh, gosh! - My goodness!

My gosh!

Oh, my goodness!

What happened? - My goodness!

My goodness gracious!

My gosh, I can't believe this.

He was surrounded by 20 people, but no one knows what happened?

No, no one remembers.

Just the part where he was murdered.

The school was also surrounded by bodyguards.

You psychopathic killer.

I'm the devil that will drag you to the underworld.

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

Doesn't it feel like a declaration of war?

A war against supernatural crimes.

Whoever did this wanted to attract attention.

It's like he put on a magic show.

This is interesting.

Someone else also has superpowers like me?

If that person really got rid of people's memories,

doesn't that mean that person is stronger than you?

So as of this moment, you're the usual suspect.

Are you kidding me?

I don't have the ability to erase people's memories.

But you're the only person who knows that.

Fine.

I'm already cornered as it is. Bring me a warrant.

I'd rather be investigated by someone I know anyway.

Dong Baek was home all night.

There were tons of reporters... - Prove it.

I want you to check if he really stayed home.

Okay, I'll check.

No.

You're here. Have a seat.

Erasing people's memories?

Is that even possible?

Given the circumstances... - As of now...

Nothing is for sure yet.

So you don't think it was a supernatural crime?

We're going to check if it was a supernatural crime,

or if we're being tricked. - Forget that.

Which one do you think it is?

I'm more convinced that it was a supernatural crime.

Why? - If that's not it,

things become too complicated.

Just like Occam's Razor,

I'm going to start out by checking what's simple.

There's a second person with supernatural powers?

It might not be the second.

What do you mean?

Are you saying... - I'll report to you...

based on the results.

How long can we hold the embargo?

The reporters are waiting, so a week at most.

You can reactivate the Special Investigation Team,

but I want an answer in three days.

I want to know if it was someone with supernatural powers...

or just a psycho.

I need to know that at least to make a public announcement.

Okay, sir.

You all need to stay alert.

Park Ki Dan was the center of attention,

and he got executed publicly.

If you fail to solve this case,

people will question the entire police force.

We'll keep that in mind, sir. - Go and catch the culprit.

Senior Superintendent Han, you can stay.

What do you mean there might not be two people with supernatural powers?

I'm very suspicious of Detective Dong Baek.

Why is that?

The possibility of a new person with supernatural powers...

makes things a lot more complicated.

It's more far-fetched than Dong Baek erasing memories.

It's why my investigation will start with him.

Occam's Razor?

Why have you never asked...

about the reason I've been skeptical of Dong Baek?

It's not my place to ask. - Weird, isn't it?

I have great anxieties over one telepathic inspector.

Is it because I have something to hide?

No, I'm worried about the police force.

Because Dong Baek's success...

equals to the tragedy of our offices.

People are joking about how one telepath is more competent...

than 120,000 police officers.

Him thriving will lead to budget cuts.

Our nation's leaders won't approve of us.

All I do is catch perpetrators.

I'm not telling you to make charges up.

Just be meticulous in all aspects.

There is no need to protect Dong Baek.

Do you understand?

I won't protect anyone who's guilty.

This has never seen the light of day before.

Will I find my answer in here?

No.

We know as much as the world knows about Dong Baek.

I'm handing you this file...

because this is your job now.

It's up to you to fill in the blanks.

Where do you live?

You don't seem familiar.

Are you sick, kid?

Kid? Kid!

A kid just collapsed. Hurry!

Metro isn't saying much.

They already took photos.

Of course they're not interested.

Only I know this face and composition.

So where exactly did you see this?

I'll tell you when it's time.

And when will that be?

Always so cryptic.

It was dropped off two days ago.

I doubt you deal with paintings like this here.

It's why I was going to send it back immediately,

but there wasn't a contact number.

Nothing?

There was no waybill either.

Any small detail at this point would help.

It wasn't anything weird,

but Mr. Park seemed highly satisfied with it.

He must've been satisfied with it,

considering how he looked at it for hours.

Shouldn't this be an insult to him?

Exactly. How weird.

Hold on.

What is it?

Wait a second. This seems off.

What does?

That wasn't it.

When I unwrapped it,

I saw a blade.

A long blade.

What on earth?

There was another layer.

Another layer?

The killer peeled it off.

He was found at a way station at the age of seven.

He wouldn't speak let alone say his name,

so he bounced from facilities for the disabled...

before landing in an orphanage.

He was named after Dongbaek Station where he was found.

Nothing worth noticing happened while growing up.

He revealed his abilities at the age of 20,

was offered countless jobs, but he chose to become a cop.

Why? - There's an interview.

The justice system is the best way to catch the bad guys, right?

What a nutjob.

He turned down millions of dollars for 2,000 dollars a month.

That includes research funding from global companies.

What could it be?

Why did he choose the most illogical career path?

No one remembers him from his childhood days...

even though he's now an international celebrity.

I have the alibi video.
