The First Responders Season 2

The characters, places, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious

[anchor] A caravan exploded at a camping site

on the outskirts of Taewon-gu,

causing chaos as residents of nearby apartment complexes

were evacuated.

-As of right now… -Hong.

I need you at the scene.

[siren wailing]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[breathing heavily]

You're okay now, so try to calm down and take deep breaths.

[Dongwoo] We have a burn patient. The skin is severely damaged.

Can you receive an emergency patient?

Okay.

Please get to Taewon Hospital as quickly as possible!

[Pil whimpering]

[whimpering stops]

[Kisoo] Chief.

[sighs]

[Soon] There's…

a body.

[♪ uneasy music playing]

OVERKILL: Murder marked by excessive violence and brutality

[♪ somber music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

[Hogae] I can never turn a blind eye to crime

for my own livelihood.

I've never done that before.

I can't promise that I won't get hurt either.

But… [inhales deeply]

…no matter how badly I get hurt, come to me.

I mean…

Come save me as a paramedic.

[chuckles]

[sobs]

[grunts]

[♪ pensive music playing]

[sobs, breathing shakily]

[Samsoon] Mr. Baek.

It seems to be Detective Jin's phone and public official ID.

Also, this is a bullet that was shot,

and I think it was fired from a .38-caliber police gun.

-[Mr. Baek] Did you find the gun? -[Samsoon] No, there was no gun.

[Mr. Baek] Send it to the NFS's firearms room

and have them check rifling marks to see which gun it was fired from.

[Samsoon] Yes, sir.

[Hong] Both bodies are carbonized,

so DNA must be collected from inside the femurs to identify them.

We'll send the bodies to the NFS Genetics Division first.

[sighs deeply] Okay.

All right.

[♪ ominous music playing]

[sighs]

[breathes deeply]

NFS National Forensic Service

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

We have a match for the first body.

It's not Detective Jin Hogae.

Analysis Report

It's Detective Moon Youngsoo.

[♪ tense music playing]

[sighs]

Result: The DNA is a match to Moon Youngsoo's.

[Mr. Baek] Call the NOI and have them informed Detective Moon's family

about his scheduled autopsy.

Excuse me.

[pats] Let's wait a bit longer.

Okay.

[breathes deeply]

We should head back.

You stay behind until the police wrap things up.

[sighs]

[♪ foreboding music playing]

[Dex mutters]

[Dex groans]

[♪ ominous music playing]

[gunshot]

[groans, exhales heavily]

[sighs]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

[Yoonjae] The explosives were placed in the weakest area

in the lower part of the vehicle.

[Kang Doha] This caravan was designed to blow up.

They wanted to burn it to the ground. Complete destruction of evidence.

We have a match.

Who is it?

The DNA from the femur of the second carbonized body matched that of Ma Taehwa.

[sighs] Wait, Ma Taehwa?

Yes, we analyzed DNA from both femurs.

It's Ma Taehwa.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Mr. Baek sighs] Really?

Okay, I got it.

The bullet from inside the caravan

was confirmed to have been fired from Detective Jin's pistol.

Who did he shoot?

[sighs]

Where the hell is Detective Jin?

[panting]

[Dex grunts]

[♪ eerie music playing]

[Dex sighs]

[groans, exhales heavily]

[snickering]

[shouts] Hey!

[Taehwa] Is this the best you can do?

[scoffs]

Why is everything so complicated?

You spend money as you please.

I'm all messed up.

Look at me.

I almost died!

[laughing]

[Taehwa] Jindo Dog.

Looks like the mutt hunt is over.

[laughing continues]

Off to hell you go, Jindo Dog. Wait, no.

I hope you safely cross the Rainbow Bridge.

[Taehwa groans]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

You no longer interest me.

Taewon Fire Station

[sighs]

I heard the news.

You still haven't heard from Detective Jin?

-No. -Don't worry too much.

You must have had a rough night.

Last night felt like a year.

[♪ somber music playing]

All I could think about… [inhales deeply]

…was that it couldn't be Detective Jin.

But does that mean other people can die?

That wouldn't be right either.

You were relieved to know that it wasn't him.

That's why you feel guilty.

[sighs]

The very last thing you hear

when tragic news is delivered is the name.

It was like that back then too.

When five firefighters died in the shantytown fire ten years ago,

everyone hoped

they weren't their husband or their son.

[chuckles]

People would curse you for being selfish if they knew,

but in the face of devastating despair…

it happens.

Don't feel guilty, Seol.

Okay, I won't.

-[Kisoo] Chief. -[Soon] Yes?

-I'm done collecting the video footage. -Oh, really?

Finish up and take a break.

What footage are you looking at?

[Soon] Oh.

I wanted to find the cause of the shantytown fire,

although it may be hard to find out the truth.

Taewon's serial arsonist may have been caught,

but not the culprit of the shantytown fire.

[sucks teeth] If I let this get swept under the rug,

I won't be able to face Dojin.

-I'll help you. -You will?

I'll head inside soon.

This is a collection of all the news footage

that was recorded at the scene during the shantytown fire.

There's so much.

Cameras from all the news stations in Seoul were there.

It took 12 hours to address the situation.

So what should we do now?

If the shantytown fire was arson,

the arsonist wouldn't have left the scene.

Since the goal was to scare away the residents who lived there,

they wouldn't have left until they accomplished their goal.

Then they would have been caught on the cameras.

[♪ exciting music playing]

That's just my guess right now.

[Soon] It'll take a while to go through every single one of these.

There's no guarantee that the arsonist was caught on camera.

It won't be considered official work,

and we'll have to head out for any dispatches.

[Kisoo] Then we can just come back and watch them.

We have to catch the arsonist, don't we?

Is anyone against it?

[firefighters] No!

Great. Okay.

[Seol] Let's catch the arsonist.

-[Dongwoo] Let's catch the arsonist. -Let's do it.

[Seoha] I'll check this out.

[♪ unsettling music playing]

[knocking on door]

[groans]

[cleaner] My goodness.

-It's the middle of the day! -[groans]

What are you doing in there?

[groaning]

How long do you plan on staying in there?

[Hogae] What's this?

[cleaner] Excuse me. Wake up.

I'm going in.

[breathing heavily]

If you're awake, hurry up and get out.

[cleaner] I have to clean.

My gosh, you shouldn't drink so much.

This bastard.

[♪ tense music playing]

[groaning]

-[Dex in English] Good morning. -[tense sting]

[in Korean] Did you sleep well?

What did you do?

The headache is the aftereffect of the sedative and anesthetic.

[Dex] You'll feel better soon.

What did you do to me, you bastard?

The bones behind our ears carry sound without it

having to go through the eardrums.

[Dex] You've heard of bone-conduction earphones, right?

It's just relaying electricity with sound information.

I put in a mic too.

[♪ tense music continues playing]

-[electricity crackling] -[groans]

Jeez, you should let me finish what I'm saying.

I put an electrolytic condenser in the earphone's battery.

That just means I can induce an electrical discharge.

I set it to the most dangerous frequency for the human body at 60 c/s.

More than 100 volts and you'll die.

Electric currents flow better in the blood vessel-rich mucous membrane.

[breathes heavily]

[Dex] In your case, the currents flow through your body,

so it'll be a clean death

without any entry or exit marks.

Entry and exit mark: Traces of current entering and leaving the body

So you'll die immediately without any evidence left behind

if you don't do as I say.

Who are you?

How did you get into the NFS?

Han Sejin, a forensic science professor at Aewol University.

From his birth registration and college entrance to graduation,

he's a perfect individual in the system.

[Dex] A great creation, right?

You killed Moon Youngsoo, didn't you?

I'm morally responsible,

but he had bad timing.

You and Seok Moongu killed Yang Chiyoung, right?

I needed an anesthesiologist.

And also to take care of Ma Taehwa.

[♪ tense music playing]

[Moongu] They've been anesthetized. Who should we start with?

[Dex] The one who's going to die.

-[Moongu] What about Ma Taehwa? -[Dex] Don't worry.

I keep my promises.

[Hogae] Why did you kill Seok Moongu?

[Dex] His job was done.

You said my work wasn't meticulous.

[laughs]

I did that on purpose.

Anyway, I need you to do something for me.

[clicks tongue]

If you don't… [sighs]

…I have many others who can.

Hey, you bastard.

I'm going to catch you.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hello, this is Song Seol.

Hello, this is Han Sejin from the NFS.

[Dex] I'd like to consult you

about a paramedic's on-site treatment

for one of my autopsy cases,

so I took the liberty of contacting you.

[Seol] Right, well, I'm in the middle of something.

If you let me know of a suitable time and location for you,

I'll bring the documents to you.

I get it, so stop.

Oh, I just got a visitor.

I'll contact you later.

What do I have to do first?

-[Hogae breathes heavily] -Let's get moving.

-[♪ suspenseful music playing] -[grunts]

[Dex whistling]

[camera shutter clicking]

[Hong] You can see traces of puncture wounds

on ribs 3, 5, 8, and 12.

He was stabbed so hard that the marks were etched into the bone.

There were probably a lot of puncture wounds

that didn't reach the bones.

So…

how many in total?

[Hong] There are currently a total of 12 distinguishable wounds.

It shows the intent to kill him

with strong will and brutality.

This is a typical case of overkill.

Overkill: Murder marked by excessive violence and brutality

[sighs deeply]

By the way,

there's no damage caused by…

a gunshot wound, right?

I didn't see any direct evidence of a bullet hitting the bone,

but I can't make that conclusion because the bullet may have passed through

without hitting any bones.

[Hong] What's worth noting

is that the puncture wounds are concentrated in the upper body.

And many of them were made while facing the victim.

Isn't that characteristic of an acquaintance with a grudge?

Yes, it's damage typically seen in cases like that.

He went alone on purpose to convince Sunyeol to turn himself in.

How could he do that…

to Detective Moon?

Im Sunyeol, that bastard.

[Kang Doha] Im Sunyeol was merely a body bomb deliverer.

Detective Moon

was looking for the body bomb maker who attacked the NFS.

He's indeed more fit to run errands

than to plan bombings.

Someone else was the brains behind this.

The bomb placed in the Next Officetel elevator,

the body bomb that came to the NFS,

and the caravan bomb yesterday

were all planned by one man.

[sucks teeth] So each bomb was used by different people,

but the plan came from the same person?

And this man would be Ma Taehwa's brain and mastermind.

Im Sunyeol was used to manipulate

Bang Pilgu's arson-suicide case.

And I'm sure he needed more people to help kill Yang Chiyoung and Ma Taehwa.

But Mr. Baek,

there's a pattern in the bombs he makes.

[Kang Doha] The elevator bomb with a level.

The body bomb with the sutured wires.

He plants devices so the bombs would explode without fail

even without him being at the scene.

But this one is different.

How is it different?

He blew it up from a very close distance.

[Kang Doha] Look there.

It's the communication device

that was used to detonate the caravan bomb.

What kind of product is it, you ask?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

It's this.

Isn't this a toy walkie-talkie?

The maximum effective communication range is less than 110 yards.

He made a sophisticated bomb but used a toy walkie-talkie?

A lot of errors can occur with this kind of product,

so he would have set it off from a much closer distance.

So he was right there during the explosion?

Ma Taehwa's mastermind never does anything without a reason.

There must have been a reason why he was close by.

For example…

to pick someone up.

That means another person was there.

And that's why Hogae used his gun.

There were no gunshot wounds found during the autopsy.

So Detective Jin…

[Mr. Baek] Hogae could be framed for murder.

Detective Jin's cell phone

hasn't been used since around 11 p.m., the time of the explosion.

I think it is Detective Jin's phone.

[Mr. Baek] When was it turned off?

I don't think he turned it off himself.

I think it stopped working after the explosion.

None of the CCTVs in the parking lot are working.

This guy always messes with the CCTVs first.

I expected nothing less.

Make a list of all the vehicles that passed by the road

near the camping site.

[Samsoon] Yes, sir.

From this point forward, Detective Jin's disappearance

will be considered an abduction,

so issue a Code Zero.

Also… don't bring up the gun.

Put out an APB for Im Sunyeol's arrest.

He's an accomplice too.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

We have to find Jin Hogae first, no matter what.

-Yes, sir. -Let's go.

[detective 1] Detective Jin is missing?

-Let's go. -Yes, sir.

[detective 2] Detective Jin has been reported missing.

-A Code Zero has been issued. -[sirens wailing]

-It's an outfit and a prop you'll need. -[♪ suspenseful music playing]

And next…

-[footsteps approaching] -The person walking by now.

You'll need an ID card.

Okay! Okay!

There was a DUI checkpoint set up last night.

-Pardon? -The officers at DUI checkpoints

have to wear a body cam.

No matter how many times he messes with the CCTVs around the area,

he can't mess with the body cam of a walking police officer.

-[breathalyzer beeps] -[officer] Thank you for your cooperation.

[♪ exciting music playing]

-Please breathe into the breathalyzer. -[breathalyzer beeps]

I found you, you punk.

-[Samsoon] Send it to Mr. Baek. -Yes, ma'am.

We found the vehicle driven by Im Sunyeol at a DUI checkpoint near Mapyeong IC.

Yes, that's Im Sunyeol.

Use WASS for real-time tracking immediately.

[Samsoon] Im Sunyeol entered the parking lot of Mapyeong Park

with a hearse.

Please hurry!

[detective 1] We've arrived at Mapyeong Park!

[detective 2] Let's move this way!

-[detective 3] Be thorough. -[detective 4] Yes, sir.

[cleaner] Oh, this guy with the fierce eyes?

He was passed out in the bathroom this morning.

[Kangmin] Mr. Baek! Please look at this. Something's off.

There's something wrong with him.

[♪ exciting music playing]

There's definitely…

something going on with him.

Should we look at footage from nearby CCTVs?

We have to do something.

Actually…

this bastard always messes with the CCTVs first.

[♪ exciting music continues playing]

[detective] Please wait one moment.

Mr. Baek!

I'm sorry. We're from the police. Please wait one moment.

[Mr. Baek] Are you here to fix the CCTV?

-Yes, why? -Where is it?

-This way. -Let's go.

[Kangmin] Let's enter.

-I think someone's there. -[Mr. Baek] Open it up.

[Mr. Baek] Can you identify yourself?

I'm Prosecutor Jang Sungjae from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

[Sungjae] I won't let him off easy when I catch him.

[sighs]

This is driving me crazy.

-Head over there first. -Yes, sir.

[Dex] The DNA database of criminals in Korea,

which has been collecting data for 10 years since 2010,

contains the DNA of nearly 300,000 violent criminals.

Insert the microchip in the server's computer slot.

What happens if I insert it?

It'll start copying the data while deleting the original.

You crazy bastard.

I'm giving freedom back to the 300,000 violent criminals in Korea.

[in English] Freedom.

[Dex scoffs]

[Dex in Korean] I didn't say this was going to be easy.

There's DNA belonging to the people you've captured

and all the culprits of unsolved crimes

over the past few decades in that database.

Including yours, I presume.

[Hogae] Is this your "perfect crime"?

I don't leave traces behind.

This was specially designed for you, Jin Hogae.

[Dex] Detective Jin, who believes

that arresting criminals is the only type of justice,

destroys his beliefs with his own hands.

[scoffs] That's what I want to see.

The utter defection of Detective Jin Hogae.

No, surrender.

I'm doing what Jin Chuljoong failed to accomplish.

Soon, you'll know

how meaningless your childish beliefs were.

Insert it.

[♪ tense music playing]

I can't do it.

[cell phone buzzing]

[Dex] You went to great lengths to get it. Pick up.

[♪ tense music playing]

[Dex] He got a lot of burns trying to save you.

I gave him a sedative

to relieve his pain.

The criminal DNA database is more important than his life, right?

Jindo Dog…

you're pretty tough. [chuckles]

His parents in Jeju Island

are going to be so upset when they hear the news.

They sent him inland to become a police officer,

but their last farewell

will have to be in the waiting room for bereaved families at the NFS.

It's a drug used in Switzerland for euthanasia.

It'll be over in five minutes.

[♪ music swells]

Don't do it, you bastard!

[♪ music fades]

[Seol] Professor Han?

Oh, you're here. [soft chuckle]

[Dex] Did I call you here at a bad time?

No, I was planning to stop by anyway.

[Seol sighs]

What happened to the autopsy case

involving the paramedic that you mentioned earlier?

Oh, that?

[Dex] I'll discuss that with you once I receive and review

the hospital medical records.

It's a complicated case that involves treatment

from both the first responders and the hospital.

I see.

By the way…

have you heard the news about Detective Jin?

-[breathing angrily] -[Dex] I heard that he's missing.

[♪ uneasy music playing]

He should be fine.

He's probably out there chasing after the culprit.

[exhales shakily]

[Seol] And he's definitely going to show up

-with the culprit in hand… -[breathing heavily]

…like he always has.

[sighs]

[♪ tense music playing]

His breathing seems unstable, and his pulse is slow.

I'll get a doctor.

[Dex] Okay.

[Seol] I need a doctor!

[Dex] What should I do first?

Administer a drug or get a consultation?

I'll do it, so leave them out of this.

Okay.

-[staff] Yes, sir! -[sighs]

We should work together.

There's definitely something going on.

-This isn't the time to worry about me. -[Mr. Baek] What?

Get out of the way!

Move, you punk!

We need to worry…

You'll end up in the morgue if you keep doing this.

-[cell phone buzzing] -Answer the phone.

[Dex] As you can see, I left the hospital.

Detective Kong and Officer Song are safe,

so you don't have to go to the hospital.

Let's complete the delivery.

-Where are you now? -[Hogae] Hey.

You messed with the wrong crazy dog.

but I can't guarantee that we can since it's a huge amount of data.

[frustrated sigh]

If we lose that data,

it'll cause tremendous chaos in Korea's judicial and criminal systems.

How dare an incumbent officer do this?

That's why we looked into Detective Jin's recent whereabouts.

There's something Taewon Police hasn't notified us about yet.

What is it?

Last night, the NFS urgently conducted a firearm examination.

[Hongjun] According to the results,

Detective Jin used a gun and went into hiding.

You know the caravan explosion case that killed two people, right?

-[♪ tense music playing] -[Sungjae sighs]

The timing is suspicious.

So he was causing trouble left and right.

[Sungjae] Put him on the wanted list immediately

and call Special Forces to set up an arrest team.

Listen carefully.

We're going after a murderer, not a detective.

Stay alert and get moving.

-[staff 1] Yes, sir. -[staff 2] Yes, sir.

[Mr. Baek] Is Myeongpil okay?

Did anything happen?

Something terrible would've happened if it weren't for Professor Han.

-Something terrible? -He was administered

the wrong dose of sedatives and overdosed.

He had mild breathing difficulties, but Professor Han caught it,

and they were able to help him in time.

-[Mr. Baek sighs] -[door opens]

[Kangmin] Mr. Baek, I went to the security room,

but the CCTV wasn't broken, and there were no server errors today.

Is that so?

Did you check the hallway in front of Maengpil's room?

Yes.

No one else came into the room besides the medical staff, Professor Han,

and Officer Song.

All right. [sighs]

Have two of our officers stand guard.

-[Kangmin] Yes, sir. -Excuse me, Mr. Baek.

Have you spoken to Detective Jin?

Well…

We've located him,

so don't worry too much.

Then why didn't you come with him?

-He wasn't able to. -[cell phone buzzing]

Hold on.

[buzzing continues]

Did you get something?

Detective Jin is on the wanted list.

-[♪ tense music playing] -All right, I'll be there soon.

The situation right now…

What are you guys doing?

-We don't have time to stand around. -[detective] Y-yes, sir.

[door opens]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

What in the world is going on?

I think Jindo Dog was being blackmailed with Maengpil's life.

But if the CCTV wasn't broken,

that means the culprit didn't come here.

Could it be that Detective Jin was tricked?

Now that it's come this far, we have to find Detective Jin first.

-[Kangmin sighs] -Find out where Hogae is now.

Yes, sir.

[Mr. Baek sighs]

[sighs]

Wanted details

[sighs]

[mouse clicking]

From: Jin Hogae To: Kang Doha

[keyboard keys clacking]

[♪ ominous music playing]

Nothing is left after an explosion.

A fully preserved…

Email Jin Hogae

[Hogae] I have a favor to ask of you.

I need you to prepare something as quickly as possible.

[soldier] Salute!

[♪ thrilling music playing]

It's not that high-powered, but it'll make enough noise.

But, as you know, radio jamming has its limits.

-I know. -Are you sure I don't have to go with you?

It's not your place as a soldier to intervene. This is enough.

Please take care of yourself, sir.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Kang Doha shushes]

[rattling]

[zipper unzips]

-[switch clicks] -[device whirring]

[♪ ominous music playing]

[watch beeps]

[Kang Doha] It's done.

It fires jamming waves to neutralize the incoming radio signals.

So he can't hear us, right?

It's not permanent. He'll find another frequency.

-[Seol] How much time do we have? -[Kang Doha] A maximum of four minutes.

-Okay. -Got it.

[Seol] Lean on this.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Hogae grunts]

He installed an electrolytic condenser.

[Kang Doha] Okay.

I'll give you an anesthetic, but it's still going to hurt.

[Seol] I don't have a staple remover,

so I'll have to rip them out.

We're low on time anyway.

It's a dangerous area.

Stay as still as possible.

[Seol] You might go into cardiac arrest if I touch the vagus nerve.

[exhales heavily]

[♪ suspenseful music continues playing]

[exhales softly]

[Hogae groans softly]

[groans softly, exhales heavily]

[groans softly, exhales heavily]

I'll remove the bone-conduction device first.

Leave it…

or else we'll get caught. [breathing heavily]

Is this the condenser?

Yes, open it up a bit more.

[♪ tense music playing]

[Hogae groaning]

[groaning softly]

There's no booby trap. You can take it out.

I'll remove it now.

We have a minute and thirty seconds left.

[Hogae coughing]

-[Seol] It's the vagal reflex. -[breathing heavily]

It can irritate the diaphragm which causes you to cough.

[sighs]

I'm okay, so do it quickly.

[Hogae exhales heavily]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Hogae groaning]

[Hogae breathing heavily]

It's done.

[exhales heavily]

[whispers] Hold on.

[♪ music fades]

[Dex] Where are you,

and what are you doing? [sighs]

Don't be late.

I won't wait long.

[♪ tense music playing]

[Seol breathing anxiously]

[door closes]

Detective Jin is on the wanted list.

Why are the police after him?

He's wanted?

Then we have to work with Detective Jin to time everything correctly.

[Hogae] I'll go first. Come to Mapyeong Station after 10 minutes.

Let's trust Detective Jin's judgment.

Okay.

[♪ tense, eerie music playing]

[electricity crackling]

-[tires screeching] -[Hogae groans]

-[Dex] Answer the phone. -[panting]

[Dex] Detective Kong and Officer Song are safe,

so you don't have to go to the hospital.

Let's complete the delivery.

What are you doing?

[Chuljoong shouts] Jin Hogae!

[shushes]

You made a very big mistake bringing Assemblyman Ma's corpse to me,

-Jin Chuljoong. -[angry grunt]

[shouting] Hogae! Jin Hogae! Jin Hogae!

Hogae! Hogae! Hogae!

[♪ dramatic, suspenseful music playing]

[exhales heavily]

[Chuljoong] It's an emetic.

If you don't want everyone here to die…

drink it.

[exhales heavily]

[♪ music swells, fades]

Mr. Baek, I'm at Mapyeong Station. Detective Jin is at Mapyeong Station.

How do you know that?

It'll take too long to explain. Please get here quickly.

[Hogae groans]

[Hogae groans]

[exhales heavily]

-Hand it over. -Do you know what this is?

[Chuljoong] It doesn't matter.

It's the criminal DNA database.

-[♪ pensive music playing] -You know why I became a cop, right?

Quit the meaningless talk.

He's listening to everything.

I've come this far to catch that bastard.

Everyone that I went to great lengths to catch is in here.

You went against my wishes and became a cop,

yet you couldn't even catch me.

What makes you think you can catch him?

You…

already failed.

You're the one who failed!

This bastard is trying to bring us to our knees

in light of your failure!

[Hogae] Prosecutor Jin Chuljoong and Detective Jin Hogae.

He wants to bring down the justice we fought to protect!

-[Hogae breathing heavily] -[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Don't betray your last conviction, Father.

You said we should work together to catch him.

I'm going to catch this bastard,

and I'm going to put you away too.

[Hogae breathing heavily]

I'm going to make you pay…

for your crimes.

[Hogae breathing heavily]

Father, please.

Please. [breathing heavily]

You should keep your distance.

That's what Detective Jin would want.

And when he needs us,

we'll assist him.

Okay.

I'll be waiting.

[♪ pensive music playing]

[Hogae breathing heavily]

[♪ dramatic, suspenseful music playing]

I'm going to Dex right now.

The roof that Yang Chiyoung died on.

Our first collaboration.

No, I suppose it's our last.

[Kang Doha] There's an altimeter on the headphones.

It'll explode at a high altitude! [panting]

[♪ tense music playing]

[Sungjae] The wanted man was seen passing

through the ticket gate at Mapyeong Station.

We'll split up into an arrest, entry, and containment teams

and start the arrest operation.

-Let's move! -[staff] Yes, sir.

[siren wailing]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Seol] Detective Jin!

Detective Jin, let's go together!

Detective Jin!

[pants]

[Sungjae] Check the bathroom.

Kangmin, follow me.

-[Kangmin] Yes, sir. -The rest of you go to the other side.

[detectives] Yes, sir.

[♪ suspenseful music continues playing]

Father!

[Hogae] Father!

[Chuljoong shouts] Dex!

[device beeping]

[♪ ominous music playing]

[beeping continues]

[beeping faster]

[♪ pensive music playing]

[beeping faster]

[Seol] Just stay alive.

I'll run to you wherever you are.

[beeping rapidly]

[long beep]

[distant explosion]

[panting]

-[♪ somber music playing] -[gasps]

[breathes shakily]

[panting]

-[resident crying on video] -[anchor] I'm at the scene of the fire

in the Woosung-dong shantytown.

Currently, the fire has been extinguished

and the bodies of deceased firefighters are being recovered.

The family of the five Taewon Fire Station firefighters,

with whom contact was lost while the fire was being extinguished…

-[mouse clicks] -[Soon] Cho Iljun.

[car horn honking]

[Seol] I'm sorry. We're currently in emergency response.

Please wait a moment.

[shouts] Hey!

I'm in an emergency too!

[♪ intriguing music playing]

[speaker] It has already been 30 days

-since our five comrades perished. -[Iljun] Hey! Get rid of them!

The faster this is forgotten, the faster we can break ground!

We'll be chosen once this is taken care of, right?

Well, of course.

-[gangster 1] Let's go! -[gangster 2] Tear it down!

-[speaker] No, please! -[gangster 3] Tear everything down!

There was no proof that it was arson. Why do you keep badgering me?

[Sangman] But there is a possibility it was arson!

They went up and started a fire on purpose

to redevelop the area.

It was to drive out the current residents.

[mouse clicks]

She's our only living proof.

[inhales sharply, sighs]

[anchor on TV] Breaking news.

An unknown explosion occurred on the roof

of a closed mall in Pyeongwon-gu.

At the scene, Jin, a police officer from Taewon Police Station…

-Are they talking about Detective Jin? -[Doha] No way.

His disappearance after the bomb incident led authorities to pursue him

as a prime suspect in the case.

It has shockingly been revealed

that Jin was on the run after impersonating a prosecutor

from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office and stealing a database

-under extreme security measures. -That's Detective Jin.

-Why is Detective Jin… -[exhales sharply]

Wait, what's going on?

Where's Seol? Has anyone been in contact with her?

-[anchor] Jin, a detective from… -[Kisoo] Try calling her.

…impersonated Mr. Jang

and infiltrated the SPO.

After attacking Park, a prosecutor who recognized him…

[♪ somber music playing]

[camera shutter clicking]

Please wait a moment. [panting]

Name: Jin Hogae Accident details: Exsanguination

[Seol crying]

[Seol crying] No…

No…

[sobbing, breathing heavily] No…

[Chuljoong] This is Jin Chuljoong.

Please look into

a Korean adoptee named Dex from Miami.

Please.

[Anna] Julia Kates. 10 years old at the time of her death.

"Died from industrial detergent poisoning."

"No specific details were released."

"After the death of their daughter,

the Kates couple abandoned their adopted son, Dex Kates,

and moved to Canada."

They abandoned their adopted son?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Anna] He was erased from photo materials as per his request.

[cart wheels rattling]

[♪ uneasy music playing]

Name: Jin Hogae Accident details: Exsanguination

[Seol breathing shakily]

[exhales heavily]

[ominous sting]

[Hong] The current time is 8:35 a.m.

Request by Taewon Police Station. Suspected homicide.

Victim's name…

Jin Hogae.

I will start the autopsy.

[♪ somber music playing]

[Hogae breathes heavily]

[groans softly, exhales heavily]

[sobs]

Sorry, but I don't have an anesthetic.

[Hogae groans]

-[Seol] Don't be a crybaby. -[Hogae groans]

[Hong] We will proceed with the head of Forensic Engineering, Kang Doha,

who will collect any debris from the explosion that we may discover.

[sobbing, sniffling]

You should let Detective Jin go now.

[sobbing continues]

I think you should stop watching.

Detective Jin wouldn't want this to be your last memory of him.

[Seol breathing heavily]

[Seol sniffling]

[Hong] Shoot.

[door opens]

[door closes]

A 1.5-inch horizontal stab wound.

Stab wound: An injury made by a sharp object

[Kang Doha] The damage appears to be caused by debris from the explosion.

[Hong] Excessive bleeding caused by debris severing the carotid artery

is likely to be the direct cause of death.

That's why the body shows signs of exsanguination.

[♪ unsettling music playing]

[camera shutter clicks]

An unidentified body implant.

[camera shutter clicks]

It was surgically transplanted

directly into the cartilage of the ear.

Let's make an incision. Scalpel, please.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[breathes shakily]

[breathing shakily]

[grunts]

Detective Jin.

[groaning]

[♪ somber music playing]

[groaning in pain]

[in weak voice] Detective Jin.

[breathing heavily] Detective Jin!

[♪ somber music continues playing]

[Pil breathing heavily]

[Pil grunts, breathes heavily]

[in normal voice] Mr. Baek.

The news is wrong, right?

[Pil] It's not true, right? [breathing heavily]

They've got it all wrong, right?

-Detective Kong. -[Pil] Yes?

[cart wheels rattling]

[Pil splutters] I'll check for myself.

One moment, let me confirm the identity.

[soft gasp]

[breathing heavily]

[voice breaking] Detective Jin, why are you like this?

Detective Jin.

[Pil crying]

Detective Jin! No, it can't be!

[Pil shouts] Detective Jin!

[Pil sobbing] Detective Jin!

Detective Jin!

The First Responders Season 2

[Seol] I saw the explosion on the roof

and thought, "It's okay, it's Detective Jin."

[Seol breathes deeply]

I thought he'd come back.

Do you now realize who I am?

Did you also kill…

Detective Jin?

It's Song Seol. She said she came to visit me at the hospital that day.

That means she met the culprit.

Let's go to Detective Jin's funeral hall first.

[Pil] Please contact the station and start the search!

[Samsoon] Okay.

Do you want to quietly come with me?
