That means Lee Joong Yeop
took expl*sives out.

If anyone finds out,
things will get out of hand.

What's he trying to do?

He was probably
trying to protect himself.

Protect himself?

From whom?

[Lee Sung Hoon]

Don't worry.

A search party will be here soon.

[Episode 13]

- Look at the time.
- This is taking too long.

Give them a call.

[Seoul Central District
Prosecutor's Office]

[Prosecution Service]

What? Why are they leaving?

- Is something going on?
- Look it up.

- What's going on?
- Lee Joong Yeop made an escape.

- Darn it.
- We're leaving.

Let's go.

- Why?
- Lee Joong Yeop ran away.

He made an escape.

I hear he has a b*mb on him.
What's going on?

That's impossible.

We had an EOD team search him
through and through,

everything from
his belongings, outfit, and shoes.

Where did he get the b*mb, then?

We'll have to conduct
a further field investigation to...

Hey.

Maybe someone on
the inside is helping him.

Make sure you keep
your teammates under control.

All subordinates are bound to
slack off when you look away.

Seung Kwan.

You already know this incident
has nothing to do with my teammates.

What?

The prosecution took the case
by following the appropriate steps.

If he fled during the escort,
wouldn't it be their fault?

They nitpick to take the initiative,
then they blame us for their fault!

Will you just let them...

get away with a cheap move like this?

Who do they think they are
to take our case from us?

If Lee Joong Yeop
stayed under our watch,

this wouldn't have happened.

Please put off the disbandment
of the Special Investigation Unit.

The Chimera Case hasn't come to an end.

Stop talking nonsense and
get ready to return to the headquarters.

Seung Kwan.

We've done all the dirty work,
but they'll take the credit.

Will you just sit and let it happen?

Please postpone the dissolution.

[Police, Special Operation Unit]

[Special Operation Unit]

He suddenly jumped at you in the car?

Yes.

While he was cuffed?

I think he had freed himself.

It all happened in a flash.

I didn't see any handcuffs in the car.

I doubt he left it in the car.
He probably threw it out somewhere.

Then he stole your firearm and ran off?

Yes.

There's a bus stop down the hill.
Why did he get off at a mountain?

I'm sure he didn't want to be chased.

Did you two run after him right away?

Yes.

You're very brave.

With bare hands, you chased
after an armed, heinous criminal.

Why didn't you request
backup right away?

He took our phones.

Then we almost caught up
to him in the mountain, but...

But he waited in ambush
and attacked you?

He had a b*mb.

A lithium b*mb.

Didn't you pat him down in jail?

I thought he stole your g*ns.

Why did he go out of
his way to use a b*mb...

instead of the g*ns?

He can't be traced anymore.

What do you mean?

The dogs can't seem to find his smell.

He must've erased his body odor.

Sorry?

He's an expert, a former soldier
from the special forces.

A suspect has made an escape
on his way to the prosecution.

Lee, a suspect under investigation
for three murders,

has made an escape from his escort
to the prosecution around 10am.

He's known to have fled
to a mountain near Hwaju.

I don't even want to imagine this.

He's currently in
possession of expl*sives.

But doesn't this case look like
an accident they caused on purpose?

The prosecution claims the car
that escorted the suspect...

g*n Young, at least try to
make sense when you speak.

Why would they do that?

Who knows?

Lee Joong Yeop might know a huge secret.

You know, to keep his mouth shut.

I mean, the car that
escorted him had no dashcam,

and there were
no security cameras in the area.

It looked like they found this place
to let this accident break out.

Don't you think so, Captain Ko?

It's just speculation.
Do you have any hard evidence?

And there's nothing we can do anyway.

It's not in our jurisdiction,
and it's no longer our case.

Darn it, this is just unfair.

The dissolution of our unit
will be postponed.

I already had a talk with Chief Bae.

The prosecution is
in charge of the case,

but it's not like they'll
do any fieldwork.

In order to find an escapee,
they'll need the police force.

But do you think the prosecution
will give us any information?

Where's the situation room?

Yes, it's Hwaju Police Station.

I'll be able to find a connection
if I make a call or two.

Let's get our hands on the intel
at Hwaju Police Station.

Let's follow the case quietly.

Darn it, why are they back?

[Joongsan Police Station]

Detective Cha.

What's going on? He fled?

Come here.

Well, things don't seem to add up.

The crime scene looks odd,

and the prosecution investigators'
testimonies don't make any sense.

Are they really investigators
with the prosecution?

Did you check?

They weren't fake.

Did they do something to Lee Joong Yeop?

No, those investigators are the ones
who took a big blow from him.

What were you doing?

What?

Why did you stand around
and let them take the suspect?

How can you trust people like them?

Wait. The prosecution has the case,
so they wanted to take him...

You should've held out.

Are you a pushover?
What's your plan now?

What will you do
if something happens to him?

What's wrong?

Yes, I wonder.

Have you heard the news?

They called him an armed fugitive.

- Yes.
- Are you sure he took a g*n?

It seems to be true for now.

He knows the g*n will mark him
as a more dangerous suspect.

Why do you think he took it?

That's also what I'm worried about.

In the worst case,
he might be shot to death.

This whole thing feels off to me.

His handcuffs were
thrown away in an odd place.

They said they got into a brawl
in the car and got in an accident.

So the driver or the person
riding up front should've been hurt.

But they were totally fine.

It's also odd how the investigators
chased him up the mountain.

But they made the report much later.

Do you really think he made an escape?

What could he get from fleeing?

Would he do something irrational
without a goal or a purpose?

The moment he came in here,
a b*mb went off.

It was fake, but...

Anyway, we don't know
what Lee Joong Yeop is after...

or why he brought
a lithium b*mb in the Bible.

But we have to find him.

We better not make a hasty move.

We still don't know
who's working with whom.

You should stay wary of the
investigation unit for a while.

Let's give him time.

If it really is an unfair situation
and he feels cornered,

I'm sure he'll reach out to us.

A signal fire is used
to share one's location.

So he started the fire on purpose?

He must've used it as bait.

He lures the search team uphill,

but he climbs down instead.

So where is he headed?

You haven't found him?

Is this your idea of a report?

If you can't find him,
at least set the mountain on fire.

I'll give you 24 hours.
Make sure it's resolved by then.

Good grief.

I don't think he's there.

He probably left ages ago.

Darn it, those idiots.

They outnumbered him by many.
Why can't they deal with him?

I told them not to
let their guards down.

They let him take their g*ns
and phones away.

Good grief.

Actually, that might be good news.

If he took the phone,

it means he'll turn it on at least once.

Just wait.

Seung Kwan, what's wrong with you?

That guy...

isn't human.

He's a ghost.

What?

Hey, stop drinking so much.

This is not the time.

Whether I die from drinking
too much or a bombing attack,

isn't it all the same?

That jerk, Chimera,

k*lled Ju Seok and Yong Bok.

Why do you think he
let me live until now?

He's determined to
stress me out to death.

Stop talking nonsense.

Look at how he sent me a letter.

"Memento Mori."

"You're next."

That's enough.

You're such a coward.

A coward? You're calling me a coward?

Goodness.

Guys.

Have you ever seen
a body burnt to death?

Have you?

Have you ever smelled it?

Have you?

Guys.

You can't afford to
sit around and relax, okay?

Once I die,

who do you think will be next?

You. You two.

Enough of this drunken frenzy!

Do you think...

he wouldn't know the prosecutor
who was in charge of that case?

You little jerk! Enough!

Hey, Hyun Tae, bring me a bamboo sword.

Has it been too long
since you learned a lesson?

Hey, Min Ki, calm down.

Hwa Jung may wake up.

Min Ki.

Min Ki!

Did you...

really believe that he
was the real culprit?

Was Lee Sang Woo...

the real Chimera?

What if he wasn't?

What happens if he wasn't?

You idiot. What kind of crazy
nonsense are you spewing?

Don't you remember?

At his house,

we couldn't find...

any gasoline or a lighter.

Could we?

Look at the evidence...

that my detectives find these days.

They are incredible.

Crimes like that...

can only be committed by geniuses.

Not by a nobody like Lee Sang Woo!

He...

He knows.

Okay?

I'm certain of it.

He really knows...

that I did it.

What? What did you do?

I didn't know he would die.

I just wanted to teach him a lesson.

It's all my fault.

What?

- What?
- It's all my fault!

It is all my fault.

Did you k*ll him?

Did you k*ll Lee Sang Woo?

Tell me!

I did it. It was me.

I did it.

I'm the one who did it.

[Hwaju Express Bus]

[Hwaju Express Bus]

[Hwaju Express Bus]

[Hwaju Express Bus]

Do you really think he went
to Gangwon Province?

Why is his phone suddenly turned on
when it's been turned off until now?

And why would he go to Gangwon Province?

He doesn't know anyone there.

It might be his plan to
lure us to the wrong place.

Then where would he really be going?

Cha Jae Hwan.

Tell us what you think.

- About what?
- You're close to Lee Joong Yeop.

Yes. You're being quiet today.

I'm not close to him.

He's just my mom's doctor.

When threatened,

what do criminals do?

They go back to their safest place
and hide there.

By safest place,

do you mean their home ground?

[Chimera 1984, serial m*rder case.
Chimera 2019]

[Suspect Lee Sang Woo, worked at
Taesam Chemicals, committed suicide]

Hey.

I need to talk to you.

Why are you being
like this all of a sudden?

You have a lot of friends
in the prosecution.

Didn't you hear anything
about the escape?

I'm not sure.

If you give me anything,

I'll help you get the LA
correspondent position.

We have inspection points
set up on all roads to Seoul.

What about train stations
or bus terminals?

If departing from Hwaju,
he would arrive at Gangnam Terminal.

It's a better place to hide
since it's more crowded.

Detective Cho and Detective Lim,
you take Dongseoul Terminal.

The rest of you go to Gangnam.

He might've already arrived.
Be sure to get security footage.

- Yes.
- Okay.

Jae Hwan.

Tell me quickly. I have to go.

The prosecution investigators
who took Lee Joong Yeop.

Do you know where they are now?

They're in a VIP room in
Seoryun Medical Center.

They let the suspect escape
while taking him in.

They said they would be
questioned by the prosecution.

But now they're throwing a party
in their hospital rooms.

And it's Seoryun Medical Center at that.

You get the picture, right?

Who do you think is behind all this?

Chief Bae couldn't have done this alone.

The escape was set up by someone...

who can control
the prosecution and the police.

You're talking about
Seoryun Group, right?

Why would Seoryun do this
to Lee Joong Yeop?

They can just deport him.

The Chimera case from 35 years ago
isn't a simple serial m*rder case.

TH-5 is involved.

Research manipulation and
a questionable patent application.

That's just our guess.
There's no way to prove it.

No.

It's not just Lee Sang Woo.

I believe they also k*lled Ryu Sung Hee

And now,

they're trying to k*ll
Lee Joong Yeop too.

If you leave him alone like this,
he'll be in danger.

Why are you suddenly
so worried about him?

You seem to have a bit
too much interest in Chimera.

You also have a bit
too much information.

But your sources are a secret.

There's something I don't know, right?

Do you personally hold
a grudge against Seoryun?

I do.

What's your story?

I am...

the daughter of a m*rder*r.

What?

Lee Sang Woo,
the man who died 35 years ago.

I'm his daughter.

What did you say?

You're right.

Lee Joong Yeop,
the man who's being chased right now,

is my older brother.

Goodness.

That's impossible.

Mr. Lee Sang Woo only had one child.

He had one son named Lee Tae Young.

Who are you trying to fool?

When Lee Sang Woo died,

his wife was almost due.

She was in shock after
her husband's death...

and had to endure people criticizing her
for being the m*rder*r's family.

How could she hold out in
her awful financial situation?

She died from a pulmonary embolism.

People took her body to the hospital,

but the kid inside her womb was alive.

The doctor cut the dead woman open...

and took the baby out.

Some call it a miracle,

and some call it grotesque.

Which side...

do you think I am on?

My current father
took me and raised me...

after my rough and troublesome birth.

Oh, I never told you
about my father, right?

Kim Hyung Gook.

A close friend of the
deceased Lee Sang Woo,

his attorney from back then.

The attorney?

The attorney of the Chimera Case
from 35 years ago?

[A gift from Richard Kimble]

[Hangeurim Theater]

Richard Kimble?

Richard Kimble?

[Agent Hathaway]

Hello? Yes, Agent Hathaway.

A ticket to a play?

Who sent it to you?

Richard Kimble.

Who?

Haven't you seen "The Fugitive"?
The one starring Harrison Ford.

He plays a character named
Richard Kimble in the film.

A doctor who gets framed
and goes on the run.

What time? And where is it at?

[Joongsan Police Station]

Detective Cha, I'm coming with you.

Ms. Kim, please wait here.

There will come a time
when I'll need your help.

We don't know where our enemy is.
If we all move together,

we'll all get exposed.

Don't worry, okay?
I'll bring him back safely.

What if you don't?

What if you fail...

and something bad happens to him?

Your brother isn't the only one...

who put his life on
the line to fight them.

Believe that...

things are different from the way
they were 35 years ago.

If...

Chimera ever gets caught,

I'm starting to hope
that he gets caught...

by you, Detective Cha.

[Scenery of an Autumn Day,
October 4, 2019, 1:37pm]

Wait, why won't she come?

Mom, he's a weird kid.

He has creditors chasing after him.

Hey, everyone has a story
to tell in this day and age.

And he gets along fine
with your older brother.

You don't say a word to him.

Anyway, I'll k*ll that quack
if I ever catch him.

Forget it. A doctor is still a person.

Just be grateful that
his diagnosis was false.

So why did you get indigestion?

It's because you're always
eating nothing but ramyeon.

If you made a nice meal
for me before you left,

I wouldn't have had that.

Hey, the fridge in there
is full of food.

Mom, I'll be right back!

Sure, go and run around the block.

That brat.

Are you okay?

I'll be okay.

Why didn't you leave...

when they said they'd deport you?

If you had left then,
things wouldn't have gone this far.

Maybe I should have.

But I was convinced...

that the fact they're
pushing it this far...

means that I'm very close to the truth.

Does the truth matter?

Why is the past so important to you?

Is it more important
than your life and future?

Just leave this country.

Many people just forget
about their past and move on.

I've tried that.

I tried to escape...

to the hospital and the b*ttlefield.

But it didn't work.

It's too late to stop anyway.

I can't stop it until it's over.

How about you, Eugene?

Have you made many mistakes?

You said you came here
because of a mistake.

Help me make up for it.

So I don't have to see another
innocent person die before my eyes.

Can we talk?

Let him help you.
You can't do this alone.

I'm here alone.

Let's talk.

What's your plan?
What will you do on your own?

Please trust me.

If you keep doing this,
you'll end up hurting yourself.

Everyone I met has died.

And now they're trying to k*ll me.

From now on, this is my problem.

- It's not just your problem!
- Detective Cha.

You used me, didn't you?

In the holding cell that day,

you even brought up my mom...

and made me feel bad.
Was that all part of your plan?

Did you do that to make me
get you that Bible?

Go ahead.

Go ahead and sh**t me.

You don't trust me anyway.

sh**t me!

Don't test me.

Have you eaten yet?

Mom.

Come in.

Let's get inside.

You can leave your shoes there.

The room is a little messy,

but this is how Koreans live.

Let's see.

[Judo Competition Winner]

Come here.

They should fit you all right.

Put them on. And this.

Don't be sorry.

Come out when you're done.

Oh. Please have a seat.

We've met before, haven't we?

We have?

Do you know me?

I think I helped you find the way
at Hanmyung University.

Am I right?

I'm not sure. I haven't been there.

You must've seen someone
who looked like me.

I think it was you.

Why would I go to a university?

There's not much food,
but please help yourself.

Thank you. It tastes amazing.

By the way, how could you have
a water leak when it didn't rain?

Well...

The ceiling...

- The bathroom upstairs...
- What?

Anyway, it's all flooded.

- I see.
- His house, I mean.

That's awful.

He's going to stay here for a few days.

A few days?

Please make yourself comfortable.
Don't worry about us.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.

By the way,
you make such a lovely couple.

No. Not at all.

- What?
- Not at all.

- They're not a couple, Mom.
- They're not?

That would be rude to her.

Why?

Because Eugene doesn't
like this type of guy. Right?

What?

I don't know.

Mom. She has very high standards.

So you work with my son.
Does that mean...

you're a cop too?

Well...

Say no.

I'm not a cop.
I'm working here temporarily.

I see.

As long as you're not a cop, it's fine.

I mean, I'm glad you're not
working in the tough industry.

- Mom.
- Yes?

Let's eat.

- Eat up.
- Okay.

- Please help yourself.
- Thank you.

You can go home now.

Let me walk you a bit farther.

Right. What about the g*n earlier?

Oh. I took out the b*ll*ts.

I didn't want any accidents.

Do you think he'll be all right?

I managed to keep him at home,

but he's so unpredictable.

Agent Hathaway.

About Lee Joong Yeop...

Ms. Kim is his little sister?

That's why she was so interested
in the Chimera case.

Do you think we should tell
Lee Joong Yeop about this?

He'll definitely want
to see her right away.

I think we should keep it
a secret until it's safe.

I guess he finally found his family.

How could you treat
your guest like this?

You lost at rock-paper-scissors.
Just accept it like a man.

Let's play another game.
I can't sleep on...

No. I don't want to.

They hired a k*ller,
bribed the prosecution,

and even took control of the press.

Why do you think
Seoryun is doing all that?

They must be really scared by something.

That person seemed nice though.

- Who?
- Chairman Seo Hyun Tae.

We had a drink together once.

- You had a drink?
- Yes.

- Alone?
- Yes.

Be careful.
He was probably trying to find out...

what you were up to.

Come on, I'm not an idiot.

We didn't talk about anything special.

He just asked some
questions about my mom.

He was even worried about her.

Don't let him fool you.

Those people are not
the kind of people...

who would open up over some drinks.

You know, you can be so dumb...

You're so naive sometimes.

It'll only hurt you down the line.

You're right. I'm the biggest
pushover in this country.

I'm even letting
a fugitive crash at my place.

If anyone finds out,
it's my neck on the line.

If that happens, just say you caught me.

You'll get a big promotion,
thanks to me.

I guess I should do that.

Hey. I have a question.

What is it?

Do you have siblings?

What? That's so random.

You know all about my family.
Let's be fair.

I have one sibling.

A sister?

No, a little brother.

I see.

He's a man with a big heart.
He's a social worker.

He's a pacifist,
so he hated me when I enlisted.

Why did you enlist?

I'm not sure.

Maybe I wanted to impress my dad.

Wasn't going to medical school
impressive enough?

In Korea, it's a huge deal.

I don't know why he was so hard on me.

Hey.

How do you think you would feel...

if you found out a dead family member
was actually alive?

What?

It's a hypothetical question.

What if you learn that a dead
family member had never died?

Detective Cha.

What if a dead family
member had never died?

We're not talking about me.

It's weird, right?
The question is weird.

Don't ask questions like that.

Let's sleep. Hit the lights.

You're one cranky man.

Don't go anywhere and just stay home.

I'm off to clear your name.

Are you okay?

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

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to the school.

School?

Hanmyung University.

Hanmyung University?

I have to drop Da Som off too.
I'm running late.

Da Som?

Be careful.

[The cold snowball
readily absorbs my pain.]

[June 15]

June 15.

It was her. It was definitely
Ryu Sung Hee, that woman.

It wasn't a dream.

I saw her.

Why was she there?

At the scene of such
a terribly evil crime.

[June 23]

June 23.

Should I believe what the th*gs said?

That a woman bought the oxygen tanks?

The witnesses said so too.

That it was a woman
who walked about that night.

[June 30, 1984]

[July 21]

July 21.

Lee Sang Woo.

Is he really Chimera?

He says he committed no crime.

I'm not making a mistake, am I?

July 25.

Lee Sang Woo's son keeps visiting.

He's just seven,

and he keeps begging
to let him see his dad.

I feel so sorry for him,
I can't stand it.

July 29.

I keep wondering.

Did we arrest the wrong person?

It's all over the news and
the superiors are pressuring us.

Seung Kwan seems so worried,
he can barely sleep at night.

August 8.

[August 8]

Eventually... Seung Kwan went too far.

- What's wrong with him?
- Yong Bok will take the fall,

but what about the crime of m*rder?

August 20.

I was right.

She didn't die.

My legs almost gave way beneath me,

but I followed her.

Her space.

I entered without permission.

I shouldn't have.

I shouldn't have seen...

the evidence of a crime.

Who will take the fall for this?

In the body of a frail woman,

how can there be
a fire-breathing monster?

Is she really the one who k*lled
three people in that terrible way?

All the evidence points to her,
but I can't accept it.

Why?

Why did she k*ll...

the Hanmyung University
researchers in this way?

September 1.

Who could condemn her?

She is not where evil began.

Cha Eun Soo. That is her new name.

Chimera will disappear forever.

Along with the name Ryu Sung Hee.

Lee Sang Woo is blameless.

He is innocent.

We k*lled an innocent man.

Bury the secret forever.

Do not regret it.

I must protect...

Sung Hee and the baby inside her.

Joong Yeop.

What's wrong?

I... I'm...

I...

[Chimera]

Someone staged the escape.

To k*ll Lee Joong Yeop.

I waited 35 years.
I can wait a few more days.

It has been three days since Chimera
sent the glitter b*mb and warming.

That's it. He put you up to it.

Why is he still alive?

You call this confidence?

What should I do?

Who must I trust?

Cha Jae Hwan.

What is it that Hyun Tae
is really afraid of?

Chief Bae. Get out!

Someone staged the escape.

To k*ll Lee Joong Yeop.

I waited 35 years.
I can wait a few more days.

It has been three days since Chimera
