The drone's video shows a scientist being killed in his lab, but the killer is not visible in the video. The case gets more complicated when they find out that the drone belongs to a company that works on confidential military projects.

As the team starts investigating the case, they realize that the footage is not the actual crime scene but rather a filtered footage from the victim's memory. They learn that the scientist was working on a chip that could store human memory, and the killer stole the chip. The team thus has to find the chip before it is too late.

The detectives visit the company to gather more information and to find out the people working with the victim. They find out that the scientist's assistant, Vincent, had left the company a few days before the incident, and he was the last person to work with the chip. Suspecting him as the main culprit, the team decides to investigate Vincent's house.

At Vincent's house, the team finds out that he has been experimenting with the chip on himself. They also find a hidden room containing a human-sized machine that can extract memory from a human brain. Vincent has used this machine to extract the victim's memory from the chip, and that's how he saw the crime.

The detectives understand that Vincent is still hiding something. He finally admits that the victim stole his invention and presented it as his own in front of the company. He also reveals that he was working on a modified version of the chip that could not only extract memory but also alter it. Vincent has used the modified chip to alter the victim's memory by adding his own image as the killer, to take revenge for stealing his invention.

The episode ends with the detectives successfully catching Vincent and finding the modified chip, which is now safe. They also uncover the truth behind the murder and the motives of the culprit.
