THE FIRST RESPONDERS

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS, GROUPS,

AND BACKGROUNDS DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

(tense music)

(suspenseful music)

-Stop the car. -What?

Why? What is it? Detective Jin.

PIL: Why...

Detective Jin. What is it?

What is it? Did you find something?

No, I'll drive.

Wait, Detective Jin.

What are you doing?

Detective!

What are you doing? No!

(Pil yelps)

Oh...

Are you okay?

Why are you doing this?

(suspenseful music)

(panting)

HONG: There's something you should know.

About Hyunseo's toes.

The toes were found

in Detective Jin's house seven years ago.

Detective Jin has a lot of hard feelings against the abductor.

I want you to stop Jindo Dog before he loses control.

I understand.

(glass shattering)

Come in.

(suspenseful music)

PIL: Detective!

There's something behind it.

What the heck?

Detective. Are you going down there?

What the…

(panting)

What's wrong?

(foreboding music)

(screaming)

(breathing heavily)

(suspenseful music)

We were going to get a dog, weren't we?

What should we get?

Yorkshire Terrier?

French Bulldog? Poodle?

Hmm...

A female dog would be better.

You only need one male in the house.

CODE 1: CODE ISSUED FOR IMMINENT DANGER TO LIFE OR THE OCCURRENCE OF IT

It's been confirmed that Mr. Kwak Kyungjun resides here.

BACKGROUND CHECK FORM NAME: KWAK KYUNGJUN

(camera shutter clicks)

I can't believe Kyungjun is the abductor.

-(quivering) -(monitor beeping rapidly)

She's having a shock. Give her a sedative.

SEOL: That's why she had a seizure like that.

Because he's a nurse,

he could damage her vocal cords with a surgical blade.

(Hyunseo groaning)

(flesh squishing)

(dramatic music)

(flesh squishing)

(camera shutter clicks)

HOGAE: She was locked up in a place like this for seven years.

(dramatic music)

(sighs)

(breathing heavily)

(thumping)

(dramatic music)

(thumping)

YOUNGSOO: Break this part down!

PIL: Hey, watch out. What's going on?

COP 1: I see some stairs over here.

Hey, Jin Hogae. We'll take it from here.

Don't spout nonsense and help out. It's Code Zero.

This is an order!

-Stop with that stupid order. -Hey!

CHULJOONG: It was me.

I ordered it.

It would be inappropriate for a detective

who has become a suspect to continue to carry out his duties.

It is all over the internet already.

I don't have to tell you what the reaction was like.

I heard you stole a kid's belonging to get his DNA off of it.

Judge Song Jaejun, who is that kid's father,

personally filed a complaint against you.

Lieutenant Jin Hogae,

you're being booked under Article 125 of the Criminal Code,

assault by abusing power and theft.

Take him to the Prosecutors' Office.

Wait a minute. That video was edited with malicious intent.

They left out when he ran wild with a broken bottle.

Mr. Baek, please say something.

Hogae has been dismissed from his position as of today.

MR. BAEK: Why would you mess with a judge's family?

Judge Song Jaejun took on the matter himself.

Don't act recklessly here for no reason.

I can't leave right now. This is Code Zero.

Is there any investigator who'd consider a criminal's business?

Come with us.

I can't go! There's no time for--

As long as you're dismissed, you cannot do this investigation!

Any citizen of this country has the right to arrest a criminal caught in the act.

It doesn't matter if I'm a detective or not.

I'll just do my job.

When will you stop acting out?

(whispering) Just until the presidential election,

quietly stay out of sight.

(breathing heavily)

I do not agree to go with them voluntarily.

If you want to use force, arrest me without a warrant.

HOGAE: Hey.

You can only arrest someone without a warrant

when they might destroy the evidence or attempt to flee the scene.

It looks like you already have the evidence,

and since he is a detective, he poses no risk of fleeing.

So you cannot arrest him without a warrant.

The golden hour after abduction is one hour.

I'll turn myself in...

after that.

Let him go.

Kongmyeong Pil!

(suspenseful music)

Let me come with you.

No, don't get involved.

Let's go where Kyungjun knows best.

YOUNGSOO: Mr. Baek!

Mr. Baek.

Here.

These are the medications Kwak Kyungjun was prescribed

at the hospital for the last seven years.

There are sleeping pills, tranquilizers, and even narcotic analgesics.

He seems to have used all of these on the victim.

(cell phone buzzing)

Yes.

Did you get the results from tracking Kwak Kyungjun's car?

We don't see any cars in WASS under his name.

Then track down all the cars

that passed near his residence in the past week.

If you find any rental cars, check the driver immediately.

SEOL: You haven't told anyone at the hospital yet, have you?

JAEHEE: No.

I can't believe Kyungjun did something like that.

(clicks tongue)

He was off duty today, but he suddenly wanted to come in.

He usually works quietly

and doesn't interact with anybody at all.

SOOJIN: He hardly ever talked about himself.

KWAK KYUNGJUN

(tense music)

Detective, take a look at this.

HOGAE: The last page is missing.

He tore it off before he left.

But if he tore it off, isn't it useless?

Can you get me a pencil?

(tires screeching)

(suspenseful music)

I made up my mind.

I think we should go with an English Poodle.

Hmm, it'd look fancy.

(chuckling)

Huh? I see something.

MUIL HIGHTECH

Muil Hightech.

MR. BAEK: Hogae is out of control. We don't know what he'll do.

You need to go there and help him, Myeongpil.

You've been dismissed. Do you think you can get the address?

PIL: This is Kyungjun's résumé...

No, it's Kwak Kyungjun's résumé when he applied for the job.

He worked as an assistant at Muil Hightech when he was 19.

-The address? -I'll get it on the way.

Did you get that, Anna?

You can't come, Officer Song. It's dangerous.

What if Hyunseo suddenly goes into shock?

Can you treat her?

I'm the one you need the most if you do find her.

All right. Let's all move. Hurry.

Move it. Let's hurry up!

(sirens wailing)

(breathing heavily)

KYUNGJUN: Open up.

You don't want to?

(groaning)

There you go.

We're almost done, good.

-(pills rattling) -(Hyunseo grunting)

(siren wailing)

PIL: Over there.

Seol, wait here.

Check the trunk.

(both panting)

♪ Sleep well, my baby ♪

♪ In the front yard and the back hill ♪

Mr. Baek, we found Kwak Kyungjun's car in front of Muil Hightech.

Detective, our backup is coming...

PIL: We'll head in, so please come as soon as you can.

(sirens wailing)

Anna, get me some info on the factory, Muil Hightech.

Officer Song, wait here.

Our backup hasn't arrived. What will you do?

We'll go inside and contact you, so wait here.

-I'll go in with you-- -No.

I told you to stay here. Move aside.

(clangs)

(suspenseful music)

HOGAE: Hyunseo!

Hyunseo!

(metal creaking)

PIL: Over there.

Hyunseo.

(metal creaking)

KYUNGJUN: You're here.

Don't move.

(Hyunseo coughing)

(retches)

What a waste. Did you throw up all of it?

(pants)

(breathes heavily)

You're late again.

Seven years at that.

What the heck are you doing, you bastard?

(chains clanking)

Mr. Jin... (sobs)

KYUNGJUN: I cherished you so much!

(chuckles)

Why don't you get how I feel about you, Hyunseo?

(metal creaks)

No! Don't!

Don't.

(breathing nervously)

It pains me too.

It's agonizing.

Mr. Kwak Kyungjun, why on earth are you doing this?

This isn't like you.

Stay out of it.

This is about the history between the three of us.

Hyunseo, you must eat something.

I told you that I'm okay.

Hyunseo.

KYUNGJUN: You probably don't know

how long I have been watching Hyunseo.

I have been watching

each and every moment of hers.

HYUNSEO: Make thick-fried eggs with these with pepper and salt.

If you try them with your eyes closed,

they'll taste like beef. My grandma said so.

(ominous music)

LIGHTFEEL SANITARY PADS

KYUNGJUN: I wanted to congratulate Hyunseo for becoming an adult.

What? Do I sound like a pervert?

At least my feelings for her were genuine.

Who'd leave something like this on someone else's doorstep?

HOGAE: Maybe they threw it away.

Go. Your grandmother must be waiting for you.

Hurry.

KYUNGJUN: But you treated my present like garbage.

(Kyungjun scoffs)

-You're the one who's garbage. -(cell phone buzzes)

KYUNGJUN: You didn't care about Hyunseo.

(sighs)

KYUNGJUN: Not only did you not care for her, you always ignored her.

Hyunseo ended up this way all because of you.

I gave you a present as your punishment.

Present?

(Kyungjun laughs)

No, I gave you a chance.

A chance to find Hyunseo.

Her toe was even found in the yard of his house.

So why wouldn't you arrest him? Why?

-Bring her back! -Please calm down ma'am!

KYUNGJUN: But people started to treat you like a murderer.

Bring my Hyunseo back to life!

-Bring her back! -KYUNGJUN: You shouldn't have given up.

She was right in front of your house.

I even buried her toes in your garden.

That's how I know what kind of guy you are.

You only think of yourself, you piece of garbage.

How could you leave without even saying goodbye to Hyunseo

when she was right next to you?

How dare you show up here after doing that to her?

What are you doing right now?

Well, you didn't even flinch

when a child was dying. You're nothing but a selfish jerk.

(lullaby music playing)

(car approaching)

KYUNGJUN: We were doing just fine...

until you showed up here again.

(clanking)

(objects clanking)

(muffled thumping)

(Hyunseo sobbing)

(weak sobbing)

(objects clanking)

KYUNGJUN: Do you get it now?

Why are you being like this for a jerk like that, Hyunseo?

(objects clatter)

Oh.

Since you were bad, you should be punished.

Am I right or wrong?

Isn't that so?

(sobbing)

Hyunseo. What's going on? What happened?

Hang on.

Hyunseo.

No.

Hyunseo.

Hyunseo!

Damn it.

KYUNGJUN: If you hadn't returned, we would've been happy.

My poor Hyunseomade that mistake, because she fell for someone like you,

but I tried to save her.

SOOJIN: Excuse me!

Is there her guardian here?

Please come and help me out.

Did you say you worked at Taewon Police Station before?

Oh, yes.

KYUNGJUN: But I had to bump into you today.

Well, then, I'll see you around.

KYUNGJUN: But you didn't even remember me.

I realized that I meant nothing to the two of you.

That's why I decided to punish both of you.

Jin Hogae.

Let's settle this properly.

We'll see it to the end.

Stop hurting Hyunseo.

(scoffs)

Or what? Tell me.

(Kyungjun laughs)

You just wasted your time when she went missing.

-Is this it? -Yes.

I'll check and give it back to you.

Please call me at this number. Thank you.

-Okay. Hang in there. -Thank you.

MISSING CHILD

(tense music)

Do it on me instead. Wouldn't you be good with that?

Let's send her home.

Really?

Then go ahead.

(breathing heavily)

(handcuffs clinking)

Detective.

Let Hyunseo come over here first.

Put your gun down and leave with her.

But Detective…

I told you to leave, you punk.

(tense music)

You go first.

Release her.

(Hogae breathing heavily)

Hyunseo. I'm sorry I came so late.

I'm sorry, Hyunseo.

(chain clanking)

Go, Hyunseo.

Go. Be careful.

(ominous music)

Damn it. This is too boring.

(inaudible shout)

-(clicks) -(metal creaking)

Detective!

(sirens wailing)

PIL: Detective!

Jeez!

Take care of her.

Be careful.

Hyunseo, are you okay?

-Myeongpil, get the defibrillator. Hurry. -Got it.

(hisses)

DISPATCHER: Arrest Team, enter the building.

Window Entry Team, stand by.

(suspenseful music)

-Can you handle it on your own? -Yes.

I'll go and get backup.

(hissing)

ANNA: Muil Hightech manufactures industrial protective films.

They recently purchased...

MUIL HIGHTECH PURCHASE HISTORY: NITROMETHANE

...nitromethane used to coat copperplate.

NITROMETHANE: COLORLESS, OILY CHEMICAL FLUID

Nitromethane?

It's combustible.

It has a low flash point. Even static can make it explode.

I'll ask for backup due to a possible chemical explosion.

Okay.

Stop! Everyone, stop!

DOJIN: Ma'am, there's a risk of an explosion.

-Get the vapor suppression foam. -Yes, ma'am.

Sir!

-Where's Kwak Kyungjun? -He fled the scene.

Spread out and find him!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

DANGER EXPLOSION HAZARD

It may explode!

Don't move!

Do not enter!

-Do not enter! -Do not enter!

Song Seol!

Seol!

Seol, stop!

Stop!

DONGWOO: This is the paramedic.

We have an emergency patient. Can you take her?

How's she doing?

Not good.

DONGWOO: We'll head over there right now.

Let's go now. Moojin General Hospital can take her.

HONG: Detective Jin has a lot of hard feelings against the abductor.

I want you to stop Jindo Dog before he loses control.

Dongwoo, you drive.

-I'll be right behind. -DONGWOO: Okay.

(dog whimpering)

(ominous music)

(grunts)

(grunts)

I should have killed you!

Listen.

You're alive, thanks to me.

SOOJIN: Suction.

JAEHEE: Squeeze the blood bag harder.

KYUNGJUN: Yes, sir.

Try and kill me, you scum.

(groans)

(clattering)

(snickering)

(coughs)

(groans)

(yells)

(snickering)

(laughing)

(coughs, spits)

(Kyungjun laughing)

(thrilling music)

DOJIN: Stop!

Hey, Jin Hogae.

Jin Hogae, you have to stop.

Get off me.

I told you to stop!

You're a police officer, not a killer!

(tense music)

COP 2: Get him. Handcuff him!

COP 3: Damn.

While you went mad about killing him,

you know what happened to Seol and the victim?

Don't you ever do anything dangerous with Seol again.

DOCTOR: We injected collagen into her damaged laryngeal nerve.

It isn't perfect, but it'll help out

with relieving the paralysis of her vocal cords.

HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: Then...

will Hyunseo be able to talk and be okay?

Yes.

Thank you. (sobs)

HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: Thank you.

Thank you.

(sniffles)

Detective Jin!

(sobs)

I've been suspecting you this whole time.

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

-You should go see Hyunseo. -Yes.

Hyunseo.

My goodness. My baby.

My darling.

You haven't changed one bit.

You are my darling girl.

Yes, you are.

My darling.

How hard must it have been for you?

Who are you?

It's your grandma.

Don't you recognize me?

HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: What is going on with her?

Excuse me.

Due to her mental trauma and PTSD,

she may be experiencing temporary memory loss.

(gasps)

Officer Jin Hogae?

Yes, Hyunseo. Do you recognize me?

Why didn't you answer my call back then?

(somber music)

KYUNGJUN: If he answers your call,

I'll forget about this and let you go.

OFFICER JIN HOGAE

-(sobbing) -(line ringing)

KID

(line ringing)

-(cell phone buzzing) -(sighs)

-I need you to do it again. Here. -MAN: Jeez.

(line beeps)

KYUNGJUN: You see?

That jerk doesn't care about you at all.

(sobbing)

This is all your fault.

Where's my dad?

Hyunseo.

What are you talking about? Your dad passed away ages ago.

No, he didn't.

Who do you think you are to keep speaking nonsense to me?

From now on,

there are only the two of us.

You and me, your dad.

-Where's my dad? -HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: What's wrong with her?

-Where's my dad? -Doctor?

-Please get my dad. -Hyunseo.

-Hyunseo, what's wrong? -Get my dad.

Hyunseo!

-What is going on with her? -Where's my dad?

-Where is he? -HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: Hyunseo!

My dad...

(Hyunseo whimpering)

HYUNSEO'S GRANDMA: My goodness.

(Hyunseo screaming)

MR. BAEK: Jin Hogae, what are you doing?

What has gotten into you?

Hey!

What did you do to Hyunseo? Tell me the truth, you bastard.

I did what you couldn't.

I became her dad.

That's all brainwashing and delusion.

(snickers)

Really? Let's say it's a delusion.

But what if it's a delusion that she never wakes up from?

Do you think she'll be able to differentiate a delusion from reality?

Why did I take her to Taewon General Hospital myself?

Do you still not know why I didn't kill her a long time ago

and waited for you?

What is it that you want?

Your real face.

You know, you have as much rage as I do.

You simply acted like a righteous cop

by beating criminals to a pulp.

But if you take off that mask, you're just like me.

If something went wrong, a man's life would mean nothing to you.

It's still not too late.

Let's go to hell together. What do you say?

Go on.

(suspenseful music)

(breathing heavily)

Detective Jin!

PIL: Detective Jin, please!

(grunting)

Damn it.

(breathing heavily)

Even hell is too good for you.

Are you okay?

Take him.

You can't do it?

You coward!

Say hello to my daughter! Okay?

(tense music)

What are you doing all by yourself?

-Ma'am. -WOMAN: Yes.

Ma'am. Hello.

-One bowl of noodles, please. -WOMAN: Okay.

Thank you.

(coughing)

I wasn't going to drink soju. I brought it to drink water...

(Pil coughs)

Jeez.

You must be exhausted from having to keep an eye on Detective Jin.

I heard his chief prosecutor father cut him off.

But I guess he's showing paternal affection to you

instead of Detective Jin.

Could you tell?

Why would the chief prosecutor show up for our case?

I'm sure someone tipped him off for the sake of humanity.

You know, I did that, because I care for that Jindo Dog--

Stop caring for him.

Just do what you did before. Treat him roughly.

This isn't like you.

I will.

Anyway, I hope our mutt won't get into any more trouble.

He looked menacing today.

(dramatic music)

DOJIN: I told you to stop!

You're a police officer, not a killer!

While you went mad about killing him,

you know what happened to Seol and the victim?

Don't you ever do anything dangerous with Seol again.

KIM HYUNSEO

LETTER OF RESIGNATION JIN HOGAE

CHULJOONG: We can expect some good news at the party election.

Is there about a week left now?

From the start, Cha Younghwan

was no match for me.

(laughs)

The presidential election will follow after the party election,

so you'll be very busy from now on.

I'll have to play the game of Go by myself for a while.

(laughs)

Don't be too disappointed.

In time, you'll get to play in a higher position.

No matter how much I think about it, no one is more suited

to be the Minister of Justice than you.

(ominous music)

ESTABLISHING LAW AND ORDER

Why don't you have a bite?

HOGAE: It's impossible for you

to have schemed Bang Pilgu's case alone.

Who was the mastermind?

Those destined to meet should meet.

It'll be fun that way.

TAEHWA: Laptop.

(sighs)

COMPOSE EMAIL SUBJECT: DEAR.DEX

Who is it? What do you plan to do?

He almost succeeded

in turning suicide into arson.

He has...

hard feelings against Jindo Dog as well.

We should put

the two similar guys together.

Let's see who ends up winning.

(suspenseful music)

SEOUL EAST DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

CHULJOONG: You're late.

You told me to hate the crime, but not the person, right?

I do hate the crime, but I want to beat up the person to death.

And?

Are you satisfied now that you've swung your fist at the world?

(scoffs)

I don't think I'm worthy of being a detective.

Just indict me and send me to prison if you want.

You won, Father.

All right.

Oh, my goodness, Mr. Baek.

We obtained the original copy of the brawl at the bar,

and I confirmed on CCTV that he didn't steal

Song Minjun's earphones, but he just picked them up on the floor.

It's only a matter of time before Detective Jin's name is cleared.

Why are you in a mood?

(chuckles)

Where's Detective Jin?

It's all useless now.

What do you mean?

What do you think it means?

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

It means Jindo Dog became a mutt.

Yes.

When you fight criminals on the front line,

you become obsessed and addicted.

But...

even with that strong sense of duty and justice,

nothing ever changes.

I've seen...

many investigators get caught up in that and get ruined.

You're right. The world won't change just because we caught Ma Taehwa.

And Hyunseo's life won't go back to normal

just because I caught her abductor.

So, are you returning to your place now?

No.

I'll be leaving completely, Father.

(door opens, closes)

(somber music)

Hi, Dojin.

(monitor beeping)

(elevator dings)

Were you waiting for me?

What about Jindo Dog?

Is he okay?

Oh, yes.

I think he got hurt while arresting that guy, but--

What about you?

Are you okay?

(chuckles)

Of course, I'm okay.

Song Seol, reporting my survival.

(soft music)

In my life as a firefighter,

I have seen too many cases of people leaving their homes in the morning...

like any other day, only to never return that night.

I know.

All of the officers that come to work must survive and return home.

If by any chance...

If something ever happens to you,

I won't be able to return home.

You know that, don't you?

Dojin.

Do you...

Do you know how much I...

(cell phone buzzing)

Yes, Kisoo.

Yes, I'll come down now.

Well, I forgot that I had to inspect the fire hydrants today.

I'll get going.

(sighs)

(monitor beeping)

(uplifting music)

What's this?

-A paper crane? -Yes.

I'll give you a paper crane each time you catch a criminal.

Work hard until you get a thousand of them.

-Are you leaving? -Yes.

(uplifting music)

TAEWON POLICE STATION TAEWON FIRE HOUSE

Dojin!

Aren't you hungry? I'm going to make some ramyeon.

(sighs)

I was actually getting a little hungry.

(chuckles)

Let's eat together.

I'll make the ramyeon.

You can't get the amount of water right.

Come on.

SEOL: What?

You'll leave in an ambulance trying to chop green onions.

I can handle a scalpel well, though.

Can you throw out the food waste?

Okay.

(light music)

SEOL: Mm. It composted well.

Perfect.

DOJIN: Okay. Call everybody.

Here.

Jeez.

SEOL: What's wrong?

Do you want some more? Is it too hot?

No, I don't have an appetite.

Is something wrong?

You would never pass up ramyeon.

The mutt I raised disappeared out of the blue.

PIL: Do you know how it feels to not see him?

I've never had a pet dog.

(scoffs)

So why do I feel so empty?

What is it? Is Jindo Dog on leave?

Right.

That would have been sensible.

"I was in psychological and physical shock due to Hyunseo's case,

so I'll take a short break and return."

I thought he would say that.

He resigned.

PIL: He said he'll quit being a cop.

Jindo dogs are Korea's natural treasure after all.

Everything he does...

goes against my expectation.

It's breaking my heart.

(mumbling) I'm going.

(somber music)

(lock beeps)

FEMALE VOICE: The phone has been turned off.

You will be directed to voicemail...

JIN HOGAE WHERE DID YOU GO?

SEOL: Where did you go?

I thought we were specially related.

I THOUGHT WE WERE SPECIALLY RELATED

(somber music)

(sighs)

(gate creaks open)

SEOL: Is this the only place you thought of going?

HOGAE: What?

On your first day at Taewon, you did something firefighters hate most.

You started another fire?

Yeah.

I have a fire extinguisher.

Why are you burning all of them?

I don't need them anymore.

There's something I want to show you...

before you leave Taewon.

It's a place I go to when I'm struggling emotionally.

No, thanks.

Weren't we specially related?

NAME: UNKNOWN 2947

SEOL: She was abandoned in the baby box.

That means this baby doesn't have a mom to hold her.

She has heart surgery tomorrow, so she needs to stay strong tonight.

Gosh.

So you should do kangaroo care for her.

Kangaroo? What is that?

It's when a mother has skin-to-skin contact

as she holds the baby.

She lets the baby hear her heartbeat and feel her warmth.

Have a seat here first.

Shouldn't the mom do that?

Right?

-Sit where? -On that chair.

You want me to hold her now? No, wait.

She's so small...

HOGAE: She's so small.

She's small, but she has the strongest will to survive.

(calm music)

(chuckles)

Do you know why I went into the factory with you that day?

What?

It was because no matter what was about to happen,

I trusted you.

(chuckles)

(monitor beeping rapidly)

What's going on? Take her.

-Hang on. -What?

-Wait. -But...

Her heart is beating.

-Take this off. -What? My clothes?

-Over here! -Be quiet.

What do you want me to do? You should take the baby first--

A prolonged hypoxia can cause brain damage.

-Hold her like this. -Here, baby. Like this?

-Hold still. -But...

-I'll get the doctor. -You can't leave.

There, there.

It's okay.

(breathing nervously)

HEESOOK: It was only a temporary symptom. She'll be fine.

(sighs) I'm so relieved, Mom.

The kangaroo care must've worked.

Yes, I see. Kangaroo.

Isn't the human-to-human contact so fascinating?

I think that's love.

-Please come back. -Okay.

Visitors aren't allowed at night,

so the nurses take turns to do kangaroo care.

But we are always short of staff.

Here. Gosh, I don't know.

(sighs)

(exhales deeply)

SIZE 6

DOJIN: Where's Officer Song?

She was here just now.

-I'll go look for her. -No, it's okay.

I'll look for her.

What are you doing here?

It was tough today, wasn't it?

(sobs) The cat won't breathe.

It's gone.

Let's go back.

No.

(sobbing)

(chuckles)

It worked.

ROSC worked.

ROSC: RETURN OF SPONTANEOUS CIRCULATION

(chuckles)

I've never met...

(chuckles)

(sniffles)

(chuckles)

I've never met a paramedic like you.

(chuckles)

Size 6.

Okay.

You said anyone getting involved with you would bring them down.

That isn't true.

You can save a life with just your heartbeat.

I know you meant it

when you tried to die instead of Hyunseo.

It isn't your fault that Hyunseo ended up like that.

It is my fault.

You can make one mistake. Anybody can--

Detectives aren't allowed that one mistake.

The one time they ignore something or the one time they take a step back,

someone can get hurt or even die. That's what being a detective is.

That's why I am not worthy of being one anymore.

Detectives are human, too.

When you're too tired or sad,

you can show your real face every now and then.

(scoffs)

My real face is a mutt.

Don't try to be nice to me.

Just treat me roughly as you normally do.

Let me tell you one more thing.

SEOL: It's still not too late.

Try to find someone...

like that.

I think I found that someone.

THE FIRST RESPONDERS

(closing theme music)

-(explosion) -(yelps)

DOJIN: What was that?

-Did you see it? -See what?

DOJIN: I have a bad feeling.

There's something suspicious inside.

SEOL: Are you that reckless?

DOJIN: There was a fire every three hours.

Isn't that strange?

What if something happens to you?

Where did Detective Jin go?

(grunts)

CHULJOONG: This complicates things.

Hey! Do you know who I am?

PIL: The police and the fire crew see the fire differently.

You be the judge.

The cat didn't do this.

Then who unraveled the roll?

-The arsonist. -The arsonist.

I think they were targeting.

Someone like you, Bulldozer.

HOGAE: Jeez, I wanted to leave quietly.

I guess I have to catch this bastard first.

What are you going to do if he starts a fire again before you catch him?

You don't trust me?
