[The show is an adapted fiction based on stories of National Park Rangers.]
[All characters, events, regions,]
[organizations depicted in the show are fictitious.]
[Smoke has been detected on a forest watch camera.]
[Report if any ranger can go check in person.]
Bidam One, at 1.5km point. We'll come, too.
Do your best with the fire lines.
We must prevent the fires from spreading to the southeast pine tree habitat.
You said you saw the wildfire prevention banner, right?
[-Are the letters always red?] -Why?
[Is that the closures banner from last year?]
[I must find out where it is...]
Where did you put them?
[If we know where that is, we can find out where the fire started.]
Hey! Anyone out there?
Why aren't they picking up?
Pine tree habitat under Dalgwi Forest!
Fire detected!
It's the pine tree habitat.
it could spread to the town.
I repeat!
Pine tree habitat under Dalgwi Forest! Fire detected!
Se-wook...
Lee Se-wook.
[Episode 8]
[Main station, control room.]
[Wildfire at the pine tree habitat under Dalgwi Forest.]
[It's being carried by strong wind, moving at 80m per minute.]
It's heading to Jingye-ri, southeast of the pine tree habitat.
[Rangers from all stations, mobilize except few essential rangers,]
[and draw fire lines under the pine tree habitat.]
[We must stop the fire from spreading to the town.]
Get yourself together!
-Sir. -Commander.
How does it look?
The fire's only 1km away now.
Please evacuate the residents just in case.
I'll talk to the mayor right away.
Okay. And...
We'll take care of things up there.
Please take preventive measures so the fire doesn't spread to the town.
-All right. -Thank you.
Grab your gear. We're going up!
-Yes, sir! -Let's go!
[Korea National Park Service]
[Ranger]
We will create the primary fire lines here!
Dig as deep as you can.
There should be no leaves, twigs, or dry grass around!
-You got that? -Yes, sir!
To your places!
Let's move!
What are we going to do?
Watch out!
[-A fire is heading towards the town...] -This way!
Come this way!
You must evacuate!
-This way! [-I repeat...]
This way!
[Please evacuate the place immediately...]
Thank you.
Around 9:30 this morning,
a wildfire has broken out on Mount Jirisan,
[adjacent to Jingye-ri, Daebaek-myeon of Jeonbuk Province.]
[It is expected to spread to nearby areas due to the dry weather and wind.]
[Residents in nearby areas please pay special attention.]
Are you all right?
Come here!
Hold this.
These are fire resistant, so they should protect you from the heat.
Keep them on.
There's a hole.
A hole?
We're almost there.
We'll head straight there.
I'm heading down first. Hurry up and follow me!
Yes.
Please go where there's no fire.
You shouldn't stay near the mountain, either.
-Wrap things up here for me. -Okay, I'll be right down.
-Watch your steps. -Be careful.
Be careful.
Watch where you're going.
This way!
Come on!
Be careful.
Go ahead! Ask people in the town for help!
Hurry up!
Run!
Look out!
[Forest Fire]
[Forest]
[No Littering]
Fire!
Help! Fire!
[518 Haedong Village. Fire report. I repeat.]
[-518 Haedong Village. Fire report.] -Fire report!
Leave minimum crew behind and everyone else mobilize!
Team B, withdraw! Fire report!
Back out the truck! Fire report!
Oh, gosh...
Where have you been?
Where are my children?
Weren't you with them?
Oh, my goodness.
Have you seen my children?
Oh, no! My children!
My children are in there!
-It's dangerous. Step aside! -My children!
-No! -It's dangerous.
Stop her!
Oh, no.
Ma'am, get back!
My children!
Step back!
Behind you!
-Have you found them? -No.
-Check the embers. -Yes, sir.
Are you okay?
We have a survivor.
The mountain... The children went towards the mountain.
Look out!
[Wind Speed, ESE]
-Proceed five meters! -Proceed five meters!
The wind direction has changed.
2km to Jingye-ri.
It'll be about 20 minutes to the fire line area.
What?
Hey! Stop the car!
The head fire direction has changed.
[Main Station speaking. The wind changed from southeast to southwest.]
[The head fire is heading southwest towards the pine tree habitat.]
[It's approaching Haedong Village.]
-Turn the car around. -Got it.
[Ranger]
[Current location: Jeongryeongchi]
[Ranger]
-Coming through. -Please.
Please rescue my children.
We can't go up the mountain with the equipment that we have now.
We're looking for a way, so please wait a little longer.
There's no time. We must find the children.
We're looking for a way, so please wait.
They must be at the Gap Cave in Saemteo.
That's where I’d find them late at night.
They'll be there for sure.
Please...
Are you sure that's the location?
We'll go up.
The fire probably hasn't reached Saemteo yet.
Thank you.
The wildfire direction has changed. Will you be okay?
It might be narrow, but through the forest track, it's doable.
It's not wide enough for a fire truck,
but our vehicle can fit through.
So...
We'll go.
Please take care of the town area.
Okay. Thank you.
-Get fire engine ready! -Yes, sir!
-Gu-yeong! -Run!
What is this? Are you hurt?
Let me come with you.
With that leg? No way.
-I'm all right. -No means no.
-Where's Yi-gang? -Yi-gang?
Didn't she come down with you?
She left first to meet you.
Last radio came from the pine tree habitat.
Didn't you meet her here?
No... She didn't come.
Then what?
Is she still up there?
She went without any fire equipment.
-Shoot! -Gu-yeong!
[Any extra hose?]
[Who's on allotter 3? Raise the pressure on hose 2!]
Hurry up.
Heads up!
-Everyone here? -Yes!
Jangteomok, Seseok, Mujin, and Main Station teams.
Stay here and draw fire lines.
Haedong and Bidam teams go on site and search for the missing people.
Our destination is the Gap Cave in Saemteo.
-Move! -Let's go!
Grab the hose!
[Watch out!]
Tree falling in the 4 o’clock direction!
Grab the hose!
Yes, sir!
Watch behind you.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
[Main Station, control room.]
[The wind is gaining more speed. Are the fire lines completed?]
One-third of the fire lines drawn. How's the situation there?
200 meters to the Gap Cave in Saemteo.
[Was there...]
[anyone missing?]
Seo Yi-gang!
Is that you?
[Seo Yi-gang speaking! I’m descending by southwest slope of the pine tree habitat.]
I'm ten minutes away from the Gap Cave in Saemteo.
I’ll go check first!
Yi-gang...
Three children in total. We’ll come up soon!
Let's hurry. We don’t have much time.
-Let's go! -Yes, sir!
Moving forward!
Grab the hose!
Come on out. Let's go down together.
It's dangerous here with all the leaves.
Yi-gang!
Seo Yi-gang!
Yi-gang!
Gosh!
Seo Yi-gang!
Yi-gang!
Seo Yi-gang!
-Is she there? -Answer me, Yi-gang!
-Where are you? -Isn't she in there?
No. Yi-gang, answer me!
-Get back! -Watch out!
Put that out!
Gosh.
-You okay? -Yes.
-Gu-yeong. -Yes, sir.
Sir...
Sir.
This is too dangerous.
We must go back. It's too risky.
Sir!
We can't.
That's all we can do.
Haedong-Bidam team. Failed to find any survivors.
[Returning to the fire line.]
[Over.]
No way...
Sir, the fire equipment cabinet!
It was closed before, but now it's open.
Kids, come out!
Hurry up!
Hurry!
It must be Yi-gang.
It's not so far to the equipment cabinet.
I'll go alone, you guys head down first.
-Sir! -Sir.
What are you waiting for?
Proceed!
Yi-gang!
Seo Yi-gang!
-Seo Yi-gang! -Yi-gang!
-Yi-gang!
Be careful and sit.
Is anyone hurt?
Good work, guys.
Here they come!
-What a relief! -Goodness.
Gosh!
That's a relief.
They're okay.
-Step back. -He's fine.
Dong-su, Dong-il!
Thank you!
Yi-gang!
Are you all right?
Here.
Take her, please.
Are you all right?
Se-wook...
What did you say?
Se-wook was in the pine tree habitat.
We must get to the hospital.
Please step aside.
Get up.
Great work, sir.
[Sekyung Central Hospital]
Want some water?
You inhaled a lot of smoke, but luckily your lungs are okay.
You have light burns here and there, but they're not severe.
We'll have to keep a close watch for a while,
but you can drink and eat.
You want water?
Do you want juice instead?
Someone came to visit
while you were asleep.
Stop right there!
The shot is to help you.
Did it scare you?
Even your sister got it.
-I don't want to get a shot! -I know.
Mommy will give you a piggyback ride.
There.
She came by
with the box of juice.
She sends her thanks.
Are the others okay, too?
-You! -My gosh!
What on earth are you doing?
What's wrong with you? I’m a patient!
I sent you up there to save people, and you come back hurt?
-Stop it, go away! -Calm down, please.
Stop right there!
How could you worry your old grandma like this?
Come here right now!
Hey!
Did she leave?
I don't think she'll give up soon.
She fell asleep on your bed.
Now I know who you take after.
Why, you...
Drink up.
Thanks.
We found...
Lee Se-wook's body.
All his articles were burned by the fire,
and it was impossible to do a DNA test,
but the teeth matched his dental records.
Considering that his skeleton was fractured here and there,
the police concluded that he fell from the cliff and died.
Then... It's all over now.
[Kim Hyeon-su. September 15, 2017.]
[Died at the stone pagoda ground in Baektogol]
These are the incidents you've been seeing.
Why did you write them down?
Why did I see only these cases?
[Choi Il-man. October 15, 2018. Died when potato bomb went off]
What do you mean?
There have been 25 deaths that occurred on Mount Jirisan
after Hyeon-su died.
But why did I only see these?
I looked into the 20 cases
that I didn't foresee.
Except for Geum-rye,
they were all simple accidents.
For instance, cardiac arrest in hikers who already had a heart disease.
Then what about the ones you saw?
Murders disguised as accidents.
That was the case with the poison in yogurt drinks and the potato bombs.
The other cases are most likely the same too.
[Kim Hyeon-su, Seo Geum-ja, Lee Jong-gu, Kim Jin-deok, Choi Il-man]
[Seo Geum-ja. November 16, 2017]
Here, an old rope on a restricted trail broke, carrying the lady with it.
I also saw the rope breaking.
Someone must have cut it on purpose in advance.
Same with the other cases.
He was climbing a snowy mountain.
And he fell off and died.
[There were footprints of two people.]
Someone must have pushed the other from behind.
[Kim Jin-deok. March 23, 2018]
There was a hiking pole next to the cliff.
Someone must have tricked the man with it and pushed him from behind.
You mean Se-wook killed all these people?
I think Se-wook...
had an accomplice.
That fire from the storage.
Someone trapped us in there and set fire on purpose.
Did you tell the police?
I did, but there was no evidence.
They checked the storage building, but the door wasn't locked.
And there was no sign of arson.
But I'm certain.
Someone was targeting me.
Who? And why?
I went to see Se-wook before he died.
I asked him about the yogurt and potato bombs,
which caught him off guard.
He thought I knew something.
But...
Someone searched my room.
My desk at the ranger station, too.
The file folders were in the wrong order.
I don't know who,
but someone's targeting me.
Since I'm not dead this time,
that person will try to kill me once more.
Let's go and tell the police everything. I’ll help you.
Like you said before,
No one will believe us.
But you're in danger. We must do everything we can.
But I'm relieved.
That it's me, not someone else.
-What? -The murderer doesn't know
the secret we're hiding.
The next time the murderer comes for me,
the mountain...
will show me something again.
It'll show me what will happen.
We can catch the murderer then.
Even if we fail, we'll find evidence
and report to the police.
You can get hurt.
Who are we?
The needle and the thread of Mount Jirisan.
We'll get the person for sure.
Okay.
Just promise me one thing.
From now on, wherever you go and whatever you do, move with me.
If you get in trouble by yourself,
I won't forgive you.
I'll always stick close to you except when I’m sleeping or using the toilet.
I'm not joking.
Neither am I.
We got lucky this time, too.
A big wildfire did break out,
but there were no casualties.
You saved them.
Those kids.
[Yi-gang]
Yes.
Where are you? You haven't been around.
I'm in the bathroom.
All right. Come out quick.
Hurry up. It's about to start.
Yes, coming.
It's starting.
[Residents Meeting with Mount Jirisan National Park]
We're here.
Hello.
Come on. The food will get cold.
Come on.
Hello.
Let's go inside.
Welcome. Please come in.
-Hello. -Welcome.
Everyone's here.
New kicks?
[If you ever come to Mount Jirisan,]
[come see the sunrise of the Cheonwangbong Peak.]
If you truly wish to come to Jirisan,
you shall have a humble heart like a grain of sand on a sandy beach
in the shadow of the verdant mountain cast over the Seomjingang River.
If you wish to see the cliffs and dead trees of Yeonhwabong Peak,
only those who often think of suicide shall come,
to take time to reflect on themselves.
Nevertheless, if you wish to come to Jirisan,
please come anytime without any preparation.
Unlike you, who are capricious every day,
Jirisan keeps changing, but it's always the same as the first
so if your life is tolerable, never come here.
We need to change the air.
Yes, absolutely.
♫ That's how life is ♫
♫ Everyone comes empty-handed ♫
♫ And leave a life story like a novel ♫
♫ In this world ♫
[2019 Residents Meeting]
[Year 2020]
[2020 2nd-Half Conference]
The barrier-free trail to be open next week is accessible by wheelchairs,
so people with limited mobility such as the elderly and the disabled
can use the park more easily and conveniently.
Is the safety secured?
Yes.
The average incline is one-eighteenth,
and the average width of the trail is 1.5 meters, so it's pretty safe.
Put up the notices and have everything ready before opening.
If there's any little thing that needs improvement,
file a report right away.
Yes, sir.
[2020 2nd-Half Conference]
Yi-gang.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Let me know if we can help you with anything.
Sure.
So...
You mean one of them
could be the criminal?
I know it's tough, climbing up the mountain on your days off,
but please keep it a secret for now.
Of course!
I might be careless, but I can keep a secret really well.
Sorry I keep dragging you into danger.
No, don't say such a thing.
I’m a ranger, too.
And isn't what we do as rangers
always dangerous?
Isn't our job always dangerous?
Yi-gang?
Our job
is to come back safely from a dangerous place.
So don't get hurt and come back safe.
Okay, got it!
2km point.
Right here.
Yangseokbong Peak.
2km point from the hurricane lily habitat in Dure Forest.
There are things you need to watch out for in the mountain.
The murderer killed people in different ways.
Like cutting the old rope attached to a rock
or placing a poisoned yogurt.
If anything looks suspicious, take caution.
Okay. I will.
Haedong Ranger Station.
[Yi-gang? It's me. Are you busy?]
-What is it? [-I think you should come.]
-Is this it? -Yes.
We caught them while on patrol and brought them here,
but there are way too many kinds that we don't know what's what.
This really is a lot.
I know, right?
Apparently, they can only go up on “spiritless” days,
so they took as much as they could.
What are “spiritless days”?
The days with 9 and 0 on the lunar calendar.
That's when the spirits or ghosts that disturb people’s work
don't come out.
Wait, sir.
I'm sorry I kept collecting what I wasn't supposed to.
But I've been doing this all my life.
I can't just stop because I'm scared of a ghost.
Do you mean
that ghost you saw?
All herb collectors know about that ghost.
We all went up on a spiritless day since we're all scared of the ghost.
Whoever saw that ghost has died.
So the story you told me before,
it's really true?
I'm serious.
Mr. Jang who died in Mujin Valley three months ago
also told me before he died
that he saw a man in a bloody uniform.
It's not just him.
Gi-yeong, who died in Oerae Valley,
came for the first time in a while. He also said he saw that man.
And Mr. Hwang, who nearly died in Jeonmukgol because the rope broke,
saw him, too.
I saw a guy with a ranger's uniform.
His hands and clothes were covered in blood.
You were in an accident in Jeonmukgol?
It was the road I took every day, but the rope broke and I nearly died.
If it weren't for the hiker passing by, I would have died.
I heard you saw a man in a uniform before the accident.
Was it him?
Who is this?
Do you know him?
Did you see this man?
It wasn't a man.
It was a ghost. The grim reaper.
Anyone who has seen that ghost
has died.
[Lee Da-won]
You scared me.
What are you doing here?
[Jirisan]
[He came back to the mountain.]
[And suddenly people started dying.]
[She's still on the mountain like Yi-gang said.]
Lee Da-won!
[Still no answer from the commander?]
[Please check this.]
[We found a pink cell phone.]
It's covered in blood.
Did she go missing trying to find that?
Why did Da-won record that conversation?
When you're stranded,
[you panic and do illogical things.]
[He said it wasn't him this time.]
[You shouldn't have come back.]
