THE PLACES, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS

AND CASES DEPICTED ARE FICTIONAL.

I didn't place them like that.

That, that, that!

Someone's going to die there.

Dowon Valley, Sumgol Rock.

A distress call has been made from Sumgol Rock in Dowon Valley.

I-gang, you just made a false report.

-You sure about this? -We found the missing person!

Hold him, hold him. Turn him to the side!

This is the man! The ghost that I was talking about!

You think there's a ghost there?

If someone had a strong enough desire,

they might remain on that mountain as a ghost.

What if we get caught again?

Are we going to starve our kids?

-Potato bombs? -They're basically mines.

You're the ones who killed my husband!

A man just died because of a park ranger's mistake.

I saw a hand. There were five scratches on it.

You think people will believe that?

No matter what it takes.

You don't think this is an accident either?

No, I don't.

There were five scratches on it.

I saw the culprit with my own two eyes.

I'm sure of it.

TOWN HALL MEETING

As you are all well aware,

there have been unfortunate accidents occurring on Jirisan recently.

As you can see here,

this is the potato bomb that caused the casualty.

If you see anything similar to this on the mountain,

do not touch it.

Please report it to the national park immediately.

And next,

the laughing gym mushroom, panther cap, and East Asian death cap

are all poisonous mushrooms growing on Jirisan.

Accidents happen when people mistake them for edible mushrooms.

-So please take a look-- -I don't want to hear it anymore.

You don't even have a good plan.

And you're just telling us to be careful.

Well, for authorized scenic trails, we can remove dangerous objects.

But for unauthorized trails--

So this is what you're trying to say.

"Don't go to the mountain. Don't hunt snakes."

You're telling us to stay put

when you can't even protect us.

I've heard enough.

Get up, everyone.

Let's go!

Come on. Get up!

Let's go.

Let's leave.

We should hear them out and see what they have to say.

Don't leave just like that.

Let's hear them out. Please stay and listen.

They're ordering us around when they can't even protect us?

SOB

Hello?

I found a house missing a potato bomb.

It was Yang-seon's house.

I also have something to tell you.

Let's meet up. Where are you?

Okay. I'll head over there right now.

I-gang.

Hey.

Se-uk.

How have you been? Good?

How about you?

What happened to your hand?

It's nothing.

I got attacked by a raccoon on the mountain.

Well,

I'll see you later.

You saw someone with claw marks on his hands?

Who is it? Do you know him?

It's Se-uk.

Lee Se-uk.

We used to live in the same neighborhood.

We lost touch as we got older.

He was reticent

and introverted.

He was born and raised on the mountain.

So he knows more about the mountain than anyone.

After his dad passed away when he was young,

he stayed with his relative, Yang-seon.

Now he lives alone and raises bees at the base of the mountain.

He must be the one.

If he's a relative, I'm sure he knew about the bomb in the house.

And it would've been easy for him to sneak it out.

Those are only your assumptions.

There are no cameras on the mountain.

The police won't believe that Se-uk took the bomb up the mountain.

What about Yang-seon?

You said Yang-seon knew that the bomb disappeared.

Yang-seon and Se-uk are cousins, so they used to be quite close.

She might know something.

I've been trying to reach her,

but her phone is off.

JIRISAN NATIONAL PARK HAEDONG RANGER STATION

Damn it.

Why do they keep disappearing one by one?

First Yang-seon, and then I-gang.

Yang-seon didn't seem well.

Is being sick the trend these days?

The new guy is like that too.

They must be out of their minds.

Wow, look at you guys coming in as soon as there is no work.

-Nice timing. -Where's Yang-seon?

I thought she came here.

Well, Yang-seon--

Hey, you, I thought you were sick. You seem fine.

Haven't you guys seen Yang-seon?

Why are you looking for her here?

We just came back to the station after working hard.

Where's Yang-seon?

She left in the patrol car earlier.

What are you doing?

There's a forest fire reporting device in each patrol car.

We can track the device to see where Yang-seon is.

SAEMAGOL

She's at Saemagol.

Yang-seon went to Saemagol?

By herself?

-What's wrong? -Hey!

Take me with you!

-Where do you think you're going? -Darn.

Gu-yeong, where are you going? That little--

Did Yang-seon really go up there?

-It's sunset soon. -Oh, no.

Yang-seon isn't like us.

You know she passed out during her mountaineer training.

She has a heart condition and low blood pressure.

Why would she go up to the unauthorized area?

Will you be quiet?

Let's go find her before something happens.

Darn it.

By the way, is it a good idea to hike up here

when we don't even know where she went?

This trail may be unauthorized, but there's still a route people use.

It's a game trail used by animals.

I don't know why Yang-seon came here.

But if she did, she probably took this route.

What are you doing? Hurry and come up here!

Yang-seon!

Yang-seon!

Yang-seon!

Yang-seon!

Where are you?

-What's this? -This is Yang-seon's.

You're certain?

A hiker gave it to Yang-seon to thank her.

It was June 9th of last year.

It was drizzling that day. It's definitely Yang-seon's.

Anyhow, we now know she passed through here.

This means she went toward Geombawi For--

Goodness.

Yang-seon!

Yang-seon!

There she is. Yang-seon!

Yang-seon, are you okay?

Yang-seon, are you all right?

Hey. Wait a second.

Don't move.

Yang-seon, it's dangerous.

-What are you doing? -We have to retrieve it.

Let's just call the others.

Call who? This is our job.

-Then I'll do it. -Hush, you two. You're distracting me.

Don't put it in your bag.

Okay.

How did you find this?

Yang-seon.

That bomb is the one that went missing from your house, right?

How did you know?

What are you talking about?

Did you come up here to find that bomb?

How did you know it was planted here?

Se-uk told me.

Se-uk told you?

He said he saw my grandpa at Geombawi Forest

on the day of the explosion.

Your grandpa?

I'm so sorry. I couldn't bring myself to tell you.

I wanted to believe my grandpa.

Who's there?

Grandpa!

I thought you went hiking.

I had to find something.

Do you want me to help you?

No need. You must be busy.

You should go.

I'm heading out then.

Okay.

Until then, I had no idea those were bombs,

or the fact that Grandpa had them.

I learned it was a bomb later.

It's a homemade bomb that was used by poachers

to capture Asian black bears back in the '60s and '70s.

Even then, I wasn't certain.

I was in denial, thinking it wasn't his.

I thought it might have been on the mountain already, but--

You're stressed out, aren't you?

About that potato bomb or whatever it is.

I need to go to the station. Sorry.

What are you doing in there?

-Where did you put the bombs? -What?

The bombs you were carrying in your hands!

Well, they disappeared.

-What? -I put them back on the shelf.

But they were gone when I checked today.

You're sure they went missing?

Why would I lie?

-Where did you go that day? -What?

You always went to Saemagol to hunt snakes!

Are you accusing me of killing that man with the bomb?

By the way,

this may cause misunderstandings,

so don't you dare tell anyone.

Do you understand?

I wanted to believe what my grandpa said.

I couldn't tell anyone, but I was anxious.

Three bombs went missing.

I wanted to check if there were any bombs left on the mountain.

That's why I came here.

I didn't know it would be here.

Is that trap really your grandpa's?

Tell the police what you know.

I understand how you feel, but it's the right thing to do.

I understand.

-Can you stand up? -Yes.

Grab on to my bag. It'll help you walk.

Be careful.

Her grandfather isn't the culprit.

He didn't have claw marks on his hand.

Lee Se-uk is the one who did it.

The cops will find out who the real culprit is.

I saw the culprit with my own eyes.

He had claw marks on his hand. I'm sure of it.

You think people will believe that?

Get in. I'll take you to the precinct.

I'll go too.

Let me go with you.

Return the patrol car and go home.

Who is it?

It's you, isn't it?

What do you mean?

The potato bomb.

You planted it at the Saemagol graveyard.

Who are you?

This is nonsense.

I've never been to Saemagol, and I've never heard of that bomb.

Get lost.

He was wearing a black T-shirt with white spots.

The poisoned yogurt.

Was that you too?

Who are you?

Leave.

Leave! It wasn't me!

I'm telling you, it wasn't me.

Then just come with us and answer some questions for us.

Why would I, when I'm not--

You.

It's a mere formality. It's nothing.

We must do this when there's a report.

Just come with us this once.

-Okay? -Darn it.

Is it him?

It is.

I'm sure it's him.

RESTRICTED SPECIAL REGULATIONS ON SAEMAGOL

After we left that day,

he planted the bombs in the graveyard.

What brings you here?

Can I please check the security footage from the front of this building?

There are no cameras on the mountain,

but there are some on the way to the mountain.

I must prove he went up the mountain that day.

If I see him going into the mountain on the footage,

I can prove that he's guilty.

Thank you.

Not even herb poachers come here.

Animals thrive here because there are no humans.

"Animals thrive here."

We've been distracted by the recent incidents.

But now it's time for us to do our jobs.

Take care of the postponed paperwork.

Check the fire extinguishing equipment before winter comes.

And pay attention to the flammables near the park and the scenic trails.

Yes, sir.

Yang-seon and Hyeon-jo called in sick today.

We're shorthanded, so I asked Il-hae from Bidam Shelter to come.

So make sure you work with him.

-Yes, sir. -Good luck.

Gosh.

I get why Yang-seon called in sick.

But why did the newbie call in sick?

You saw him yesterday. He was healthy.

What's wrong with Haedong Ranger Station these days?

-Incidents, sick leaves-- -Let's get to work.

-I just got here. I need to drink-- -Let's work, Il-hae.

Let's get to work, Il-hae.

-How about-- Did you say "Il-hae"? -Yes. Work. Il-hae.

How dare you call my name like that?

Hey. Come back here.

I can't believe this. Hey!

Behind there.

Take this.

What's the meaning of this?

Do you think you can come and go whenever you want to?

Is it okay if we watch this before I get scolded?

Like you said, Saemagol must be full of animals.

Thirty trail cameras are there.

SPECIES RESTORATION TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE-17

You're still on the case?

Three bombs went missing.

There's one left.

We must find the bomb before someone gets hurt.

We just need to watch the day of the explosion.

Please.

You need to manage the equipment--

Hey. What is this?

I thought you were sick.

Does he look sick to you?

Ditching work then?

What are these?

They're the Saemagol trail cameras and the memory cards.

Why did you bring this?

-This is the last time. -Okay.

You guys help too. Find the illegal hiker from October 15th.

What are you talking about? We have paperwork to catch up on.

It's piled up.

I'll do it.

Why would you look for the illegal hiker?

We can't even get their ID.

It involves Yang-seon.

Really?

What are you guys doing?

I'll treat you to ten plates of pajeon if you help.

Do you think I'll-- Maybe plus a wish?

You got it.

Okay.

The illegal hiker.

-Move! -You can't do this.

Get out of my way!

-Don't be like this. -Let me ask him a question.

I have to ask him why he did such a thing to his long-time neighbor.

-We're not sure if it was him. -Just move!

-My son. -This is a family problem.

Just move!

Why did you kill him? Why did you do it?

Stop asking the same question!

I don't know anything about the incident!

A report came in, so I have no choice but to ask.

Why did you hide that the bombs went missing?

Because I was afraid this would happen.

I knew everyone would suspect me.

But it is suspicious.

Why was the bomb in your house discovered in the trap that you installed?

Are you insane?

Why would I put that dangerous thing inside my trap?

Maybe someone put it there to kill me.

You should've reported it as soon as they went missing.

Look at what's happened.

So just write when they went missing on this paper.

Your call cannot be completed as dialed.

Why aren't you picking up?

Call me back.

Someone is onto us.

He was driving a patrol car.

It's one of the rangers.

I'm sure I'll find this hiker faster than you.

I won't lose to you.

You found the hiker?

This is their feet.

Where's the upper body?

The location?

Near Maebawi.

Maebawi.

-It's not on the way to the graveyard. -Graveyard?

Isn't that where the explosion happened?

What are you up to? What are you looking for?

How about Geombawi Forest?

The place where Yang-seon found the bomb.

Are Maebawi and the forest near each other?

After we find it, we'll tell you what we're looking for.

We need to know what to find for us to search faster.

What on earth?

What's up? Found something?

Look.

What? It wasn't the grandfather.

Well?

Let's call the police.

Officer Park! Come with me!

My poor son.

Seriously.

You can't judge a book by its cover.

That gentle and quiet guy?

If it weren't for us, the grandfather would've been framed for this.

That's why he put the bomb in the grandpa's trap.

Actually, that might've had another purpose.

-What? -He might've placed it there to kill him.

That's ridiculous. Why would he do that?

Maybe he wasn't targeting the grandfather…

but someone else.

Why do you think Se-uk told Yang-seon her grandpa went to Geombawi Forest?

Se-uk told me.

He said he saw my grandpa at Geombawi Forest

on the day of the explosion.

He lured Yang-seon there on purpose.

Thank you for dropping by.

Of course. I had to come.

I bet you've been too worried about your grandfather to eat.

I know you have no appetite, but eat up.

Everything will be okay.

So?

Drink this and cheer up.

Lee Se-uk!

Hey, look around.

It's me.

No. He isn't home.

Okay.

Se-uk.

My grandpa.

On that--

On that day at Geombawi Forest,

did you really see him there?

No.

What?

You said…

you saw him there.

I lied…

to kill you.

She's still not picking up?

Something must've happened.

Stop being so negative.

Her pulse is weak.

A person fainted. She's unconscious.

This is 109 Haedongsan-ro.

Damn it.

Yes. It's 109 Haedongsan-ro.

Yang-seon. Yang-seon!

Damn it.

He's going up to Nari Valley. Come quickly!

That.

You go down first with the bomb.

I'll follow him.

There's no need. The cops will come.

SEONGJIN HOSPITAL

Okay. Call me if there's any news. Bye.

Did they find him?

Not yet, but we'll find him soon.

Even if he does escape, he can't get far because he's wanted now.

That bastard.

Is this how he repays my kindness?

After I took him in when he was orphaned?

They say you should never bite the hand that feeds you.

Who's Lee Yang-seon's guardian?

How is she?

Thankfully, she made it in time.

The treatment went well.

She may develop complications, so let's keep her here for a few days.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Please go to the administrative office to check her in.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You know, I'm the guardian.

Oh. I see.

Where's the administrative office?

I'll take you there. This way.

Thank you. We got him, thanks to you.

Not me. It was all him.

You taught him well.

I'll call you when we find him.

By the way,

did you search his house as well?

Of course we did.

Did you find some yogurt containing poisonous mushrooms then?

What do you mean?

He killed my colleague on Jirisan a year ago.

Geum-rye was killed by him too.

A soldier on a ruck march almost died recently.

Ask him when you arrest him.

It'll be revealed.

I don't understand a thing you're saying.

What's he saying?

We need to talk.

Who does he think he is?

Here.

Let's eat first.

I thought you wanted to talk.

You're going to say the same thing, right?

No one will believe me,

so keep my mouth shut, right?

But, I did see him with my own eyes.

I can't turn a blind eye to something that I've seen.

I'm not here to talk about that.

I'm here to apologize.

I doubted you.

I didn't believe you.

But the claw marks and the poisoned yogurt--

You were right about everything.

You saved Yang-seon's life and it's you who found out about Se-uk.

If you hadn't, more lives would've been lost.

You stopped that from happening.

If I had believed you from the start,

do you think we could've saved the people who died?

You were saving lives even before this.

More diligently than anyone else.

I apologize for doubting you.

Then, treat me to ten plates of pajeon.

And a few bottles of sweet potato makgeolli.

That'd be nice.

Do you think Se-uk is still in the mountains?

Why did he do something so awful?

If we arrest him,

then we'll know why.

DO NOT ENTER

Thank you.

That's refreshing.

You're that girl. The lottery girl.

I heard you owe a hefty fine.

You may end up paying more for the fine.

That's why I have to find it.

I can't be in the red.

By the way,

are you sure you're not looking for the ticket too?

I'm not, so don't worry.

Then, what are you looking for?

Tell me.

Who knows? Maybe I'll help you find it.

No.

I must find it myself.

It looks like winter is here.

It won't be easy to hike up here.

Why? Is something wrong?

No.

Does it snow that much in the winter?

Yes, and when it snows a lot, you can only see the flags.

Mountains are indeed a scary place.

JIRISAN NATIONAL PARK HAEDONG RANGER STATION

What is all this, I-gang?

You must be exhausted from patrolling, so eat your fill and regain your stamina.

No way! Thank you so much.

Can I try it? Thank you for the food.

Oh, my goodness. This is so delicious.

When did you make all this?

That was so tasty.

My stomach is about to explode.

A few years back,

someone was killed on the mountain by a potato bomb.

Did you hear about that?

During my orientation, I heard about the potato bomb.

But someone died because of that?

Someone put it there to kill people.

Seriously? Who?

Lee Se-uk.

He raised bees around Jirisan.

I mean, why did he do that though?

I don't know.

When his crime was revealed, he was found dead on the mountain.

But it didn't end there.

The real culprit was still out there hiding behind him.

What do you mean by that?

People died even after Se-uk's death.

You're joking, right?

You're lying. You just made this story up, didn't you?

Who was the real culprit? Why did they do it?

I don't know.

I got into an accident trying to find that out.

Is that why you went to the snow-covered mountain?

I came back to find out the truth.

The one that's sending me a signal from that mountain.

If I meet that person,

I'll know who the real culprit is.

Please.

You're the only one I can trust.

Can you help me?

What can I do to help?

Haedong Ranger Station has been in charge of 11 areas.

I've marked the locations we agreed to send the signals from.

Install the trail cameras there.

Okay. I got it.

I'll be right back. Wait for me here.

If…

I can meet you again…

there's something I want to say.

It's a white Christmas.

Snow is dangerous in the mountains.

It means you can die.

Do you still think I'm responsible for your parents' death?

Someone is coming to pick up lost property.

Since then, her Christmases have been cursed.

Bad things always happen to her on that day.

A criminal is on the mountain.

Radio me if anything happens. I'll come right away.

I-gang, are you okay?

You're going after a wanted criminal.

You said I-gang knows that person.
