Jirisan (2021) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
1
[Jirisan]
[The show is an adapted fiction based on
stories of National Park Rangers.]
[All characters, events, regions,]
[organizations depicted in the show
are fictitious.]
[I still don't get what happened then.]
So why did you go up there that day?
What on earth happened
between you and Hyun-jo?
[We only tried to protect the mountain.]
Because that was our job.
I heard you're a legend.
Is there anything I can do to help?
We could search together.
[At the 4km point,]
[there's an old oak tree
behind Mang-bawi Rock.]
[There should be a rotten root base
at the bottom.]
[Can you make this mark there?]
Yi-gang. When did you return?
I came to ask you something.
Do you know anything about this case?
Isn't this that Yang Geun-tak guy
who was found recently?
What about the yellow ribbon?
Why are you asking
about yellow the ribbon?
I found a spot for you
at the headquarters in Wonju.
But I
Go to the headquarters.
[When I got injured here before,]
[there were yellow ribbons.]
[If they belonged to the illegal hikers,]
[wouldn't they lead to the top?]
[But not those ribbons.]
[They were tied to the other way,]
[not the top.]
[As if]
they wanted you to get lost.
[Name of the Missing: Yang Geun-tak]
[Action Taken]
Haedong Ranger Station.
Okay. I'll find it and let you know.
-Hello, sir.
-How are you doing?
-Have a great day.
-Thank you.
You all right?
[Jo Dae-jin]
Lee Da-won!
What are you doing there?
Hurry up!
Coming!
Hey, wait for me!
Hurry up!
I've installed the automated sensor camera
like you asked me to.
Did I mess anything up?
No, you did a great job.
Was there anything else
while you were up there?
Like, did you see someone suspicious?
No, I don't think so.
[Do you know what that bell is for?]
[Apparently, there are
28 different worlds]
[on top of the one we're living in.]
[So when that bell rings,]
[the ghost world opens up too.]
And the ghosts that live on the mountain
all come out.
I heard that too.
A teenage girl
[hanged herself behind
Jangteomok Shelter.]
[She slept in Bed 15 before she died,]
and ever since, those who sleep there
wake up with a red mark around their neck.
Goodness, you fools. That's enough.
There's a male ghost
on Mount Jirisan these days.
[I heard from the herb collector
who's been coming here for years.]
[He's covered in blood,]
[and everyone who's seen him all died.]
[You mean there's
a grim reaper on Mount Jirisan?]
Yi-gang.
[Year 2018]
Take my hand.
I can't
Step on my foot.
What? No. I can't do that.
It's okay. Just think of it as a step
and come down.
I'm sorry.
Don't confuse Jirisan to be for beginners
thinking it's not as rocky.
Plus, you're sure to get tired
when you carry something like that.
I'm so sorry.
I'm fine!
I thought I'd pray for my son
who's going to college next year.
Cheonwangbong Peak is supposed to
have such great energy.
Jirisan is only a mountain.
There's no energy or anything.
If you want to pray,
go to a church or a temple.
At least you won't get tired going up.
[Baemsagol Trail]
[Baemsagol Trail]
Ma'am.
Don't forget this watermelon
that's been to Mount Jirisan.
Go give it to your son.
Thank you so much for carrying it.
It's nothing.
If your son gets into a college,
please come back together.
Of course!
Make sure you're wearing
proper hiking gear then.
Will do.
Get home safe!
Is your foot okay?
Should I go get a patch?
It's fine.
[Bidam 1. Baektogol, 3km.
Prayer point on the restricted trail.]
[Report of illegal shamanism.]
[Haedong 1, on a special patrol
at 4km from Yangseokbong Peak.]
[We'll make it]
[in an hour and a half.]
[Haedong 2, entrance to the trail
from Haedong Ranger Station.]
We're leaving now.
[Bidam 2. Entrance to Dowon Valley.]
[We're leaving now too.]
What are you doing there?
Are you already tired
from carrying that watermelon?
No!
I'm coming!
I got this.
What's all that?
Shamanistic possession.
This can't be good.
It's an invocatory gut.
They won't back down easily.
You guys are here.
What brings you here?
He's all into this stuff.
I'm not into it.
I'm curious about shamanism
that's been going on for generations.
What a spectacular sight.
Let's take care of this
before it gets dark.
Oh, right.
Do you know that
Sorry?
There's something you must do
before kicking the shamans out.
What's that?
How can you not know?
This is very important.
You must call out
"King's orders" before doing it.
Otherwise, you'll be unlucky
for three years.
What on earth?
Hey, it's up to you.
But you know what happened
to those who didn't say it?
They failed their driving test five times,
had their leg broken,
or got hemorrhoids. It was crazy.
It's up to you.
You must be kidding.
Don't tell me you actually believe that.
King's orders!
One, two!
King's orders!
King's orders.
I'm Park Il-hae,
Chief of Mount Jiri National
What on earth are you saying?
Hey, cut it off!
Sir! Hold on.
-Excuse me.
-Goodness.
Attention.
-You've violated Article 29 Clause 1
-King's orders.
regarding restriction of business.
You wretch!
And Article 28 Clause 1
regarding restricted areas.
Oh, my.
You also used fire.
How much is all this fine?
Hello, hello. It's King's orders.
-Mister.
-Go away!
-Be careful.
-Wrap this up.
-Il-hae.
-Let go of me.
You're all in trouble.
Goodness, how old are you?
Aren't you cold?
Here, put on your shoes.
Gosh, what beautiful shoes!
Where's your mommy?
You should do your homework
instead of coming here.
All right?
Don't fall! You'll break your skull.
And that hurts a lot.
-What do you think you're doing?
-Be careful.
What's going on?
It's King's orders.
-Who are they?
-It's King's orders.
-My goodness.
-Hello.
The stretches didn't help. Gosh.
Let's wrap it up quickly and go down.
Sir!
-Well done.
-You wretch!
-You've made a violation.
-What?
-There will be a 100K won fine.
-You wretch!
That's per person.
You know what happens
if you don't pay it right away.
There's a late charge.
You'd better pay it in time.
Are you all right?
You're destined to roam the mountains
even when you're dead.
What?
What was that?
What's that?
I've never seen this kind of
talisman before.
I should take it and do some research.
People like these must come here often.
You know the expression in Korean,
"go to a valley,"
which means "to die?"
"Gone to a valley."
It originated from here, since no one
walks out of Baektogol Valley alive.
[This place has
especially strong yin energy,]
[even for Mount Jirisan.]
[The Donghak Peasant Revolution.
The Japanese invasion.]
The Korean War, and the Partisan Battle.
Many people died here
for a period of time.
Human bones are still being
dug up to this day.
There are many places in Baektogol
with a cross or stone pagoda.
[They're for those who died
without a grave.]
If ghosts exist,
this is the place for them.
That's why these shamans
come here to get energy.
[This place had such a history.]
[If ghosts exist,]
[if there's something,]
[this is the place
that suit them the most.]
Thank you!
Great work.
-Thanks.
-We're here.
-Take care.
-See you.
-Good night.
-All right.
This way.
Drive safe.
Oh, gosh.
Where to?
Gamnamu Restaurant would be ideal.
No. If Grandma gets in,
it'll be all night.
Then the residence?
Sure. Let's go.
What are they saying?
What do you think?
We have to drink to chase the ghosts away.
I see. What about Sol then?
That's exactly why he's not drinking.
What?
You mean he was the top in his year?
That's right.
Mount Jirisan is so wide and rough,
so everyone avoids coming here.
But they were shocked that
the top volunteered to come.
Wow. He's the opposite of Yi-gang.
She was the lowest.
Hey! I didn't care about the test.
Whatever.
Actually, that's true.
She hated mountains,
but her granny dragged her here.
What about the promotion test then?
You got a nosebleed studying,
yet you got the lowest score
in the history of national park rangers.
She's always the lowest.
Look at you. Hey! You failed the test too.
Settle down.
I'm embarrassed to be
the only promoted one here.
Seriously.
I'm so embarrassed.
Hey.
[Sweet potato Makgeolli]
She drank sweet potato makgeolli.
Thanks for the drinks. See you all.
Hey, you drank
I'll walk her home.
You know she drank sweet potato
Will he be okay?
He should go through it too.
Wait up!
[Gamnamu Restaurant]
You want to get some fresh air?
Yi-gang.
By the way,
how did you become a ranger
if you hated mountains so much?
I'll
I'll tell you
how I became a ranger.
Listen carefully.
I was six
when I first climbed this mountain.
Yi-gang?
My parents lived near Mount Jirisan.
I reached Cheonwangbong Peak
for the first time at seven.
When I was eight,
I brought a Coke and drank it there.
That's when I
started climbing the mountain.
When I was nine,
I started to walk along the ridges.
Yi-gang?
It's okay.
I'm fine.
Are you listening?
Yes.
That's when I started
flying around the mountains.
You know?
Instead of walking.
You've never seen stars up there, right?
I've got more.
When I was ten
I brought some of your favorites
to share with you, Mom.
How far did she get?
Until thirteen.
Still a long way to go.
No first love story yet?
-First love?
-Yes.
That's enough.
I'll do it.
[It'll continue to be sunny
throughout the week.]
[The temperature will be
4℃ higher than yesterday.]
[But there will be a chilly wind
in the morning and evening.]
["Red Dragon Division,
Ruck March Request"]
[The temperature gap will be wide,
so please bring a sweater.]
["Habokri Chimadae, Heohang Pass,
Mongdol Road, Baektogol"]
[The highest temperature will be]
[Baektogol]
[Baektogol]
Kang Hyun-jo.
Kang Hyun-jo!
What's wrong?
[The waves will be relatively calm.]
[Next week,
we're expecting rain nationwide.]
Haedong Ranger Station.
Oh, hello.
What's going on?
Sure, we'll check.
Okay.
What is it?
Granny Geum-rye
is up on the mountain again.
And she's not back yet.
She's not picking up her phone, either.
Are they sure she went up the mountain?
Her rucksack and equipment are gone too.
But she never gets lost in the mountain.
Who is this Granny Geum-rye?
She lost her mother in Baektogol
when she was young.
So she goes up several times a year
to commemorate her mother.
She's notorious among
rangers for illegal hiking.
Baektogol
It's right here.
Are these real bullet holes?
Yes. There was a civilian massacre here
long ago.
So we call it the Bullet Tree.
Jung Gu-yeong.
Any news on Granny Geum-rye?
[No, not yet.]
[Her family's looking everywhere.]
[-Did you arrive?]
-Yes.
We know she came for sure,
but something's amiss.
She always took
every last thing she brought.
But today, she left everything.
We'll search this area.
Check the security camera.
[There's no camera on restricted trails.]
There's one on the road by the entrance.
Ask the police for cooperation.
What are you doing?
There's signal here.
If she's near, we'll hear her phone.
It might be on vibrate mode.
Let's split and search some more.
You take the side road.
Wait.
Baektogol, stone pagoda ground.
Can we search there?
Why?
Are you seeing things again?
What did you see?
You never believed
in the Seven Wonders of the World, right?
Just because you don't get them
doesn't mean they're lies.
The pyramids, Moai,
the Bermuda Triangle
These things all exist.
What on earth are you saying?
Never mind.
If you don't trust me, I'll go alone.
Hey!
What?
Wrong way.
Follow me.
I found nothing.
You?
I saw it for sure. It was right here.
I shouldn't have trusted you.
I'm serious. It was here.
Whatever.
Are you the national park staff?
Yes, we're from Haedong Ranger Station.
We were informed about your march.
Captain Kang?
Is that you?
It's been a while.
Is Granny back yet?
[Not yet.]
[She didn't go
to a friend's house either.]
Have you checked the security camera?
[I've checked all
near the entrance to Baektogol.]
[But she's not on them.]
[I think she's still on the mountain.]
I heard that you were discharged,
but I didn't expect to see you here.
Was it because of what happened?
It was here, right?
Where Sergeant Kim was found.
How's the march going?
No accident?
It's just training.
It'll be over tomorrow.
Are you on patrol this late at night?
We're just checking something.
Have you met an old lady during the march?
No, I haven't seen any civilian.
What's wrong?
An old lady went missing.
Any small thing you noticed?
She seems to have crossed your way.
Sir.
What is it?
When I fell behind earlier
Oh, this is Private Ahn.
He lost his water bottle
at Baektogol ridge three hours ago,
and he went AWOL and fell behind.
So?
What happened then?
You saw a civilian?
Yes, sir. He said he came for hiking.
He was looking at a rucksack,
and he said he was wondering whose it was.
What color was the rucksack?
It was pink.
Was this it?
Yes. That's the one.
Where was this?
It was the 50-minute point from Baeksil.
Right here.
If we take the shortcut,
we could get there in an hour.
Let's go.
Get back safely.
Over there.
Is it hers?
Common Rustgill.
It's extremely poisonous, so why
What happens if you eat them?
You get dizzy, nauseous,
stomachache, and hallucinations.
You might die if you consume a lot.
We must find her now.
[Mun-ok's Granddaughter Yi-gang]
No answer?
Wait.
[Mun-ok's Granddaughter Yi-gang]
No vital signs!
Yi-gang.
Please radio them.
Yi-gang.
Yi-gang?
Yi-gang!
Sit down.
No I'm all right.
Please sit.
Can you do that?
Breathe deep. Slowly.
One more time.
This is Hyun-jo speaking.
[What happened?]
[Did you find Granny Geum-rye?]
[She still hasn't called home.]
We found her.
[You did? How is she?]
No vital signs.
She's presumed dead.
[Her location?]
Baektogol, Hyeongje Rock, 30m northwest.
It's 30m northwest
of Hyeongje Rock in Baektogol.
[I'll let Bidam Shelter know.]
[It'll be a couple of hours.]
This is the second time.
That I'm seeing a dead person
on Mount Jirisan.
Back there
at the stone pagoda ground,
I've had to let a sergeant die before.
I valued him more than anyone else.
But he died alone and lonely
on the mountain because of me.
If we keep this pace,
we'll set a new record.
Carry on, soldiers! Speed up a little.
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
That's the spirit.
Kim Hyeon-su, you all right?
Yes, sir!
This is your hometown, right?
That's right, sir!
Must be nice.
I hope your hometown energizes you.
Thank you, sir!
Let's go!
What do you mean?
Sergeant Kim is missing?
He disappeared while I wasn't looking.
How long has it been?
About thirty minutes.
[Sergeant Kim!]
Sergeant Kim!
-Sergeant Kim.
-Sergeant Kim.
-Sergeant Kim!
-Sergeant Kim!
Sergeant Kim!
Kim Hyeon-su!
Kim Hyeon-su!
Kim Hyeon-su!
Hyeon-su!
Hyeon-su
Hyeon-su
[And that's when I started]
to see people dying on this mountain.
[At first, I thought
I was imagining things.]
[Last night, a 70-year-old woman fell off
from a cliff on Mount Jirisan and died.]
[Allegedly, the accident happened
as a rotten rope on a cliff broke.]
[National Park Service has been
accused for the accident.]
[But they were always followed]
[by the news that something bad
happened on Mount Jirisan.]
I was afraid of coming back here.
But I thought it was
the right thing to do.
Sol told me
that there's something
about this Baektogol.
I'm not sure if it's
a ghost or a guardian spirit.
But I think it gave me a gift.
To save people.
I believed in them.
Sorry?
The Seven Wonders of the World,
when I was little.
[Lieutenant Choi]
What's going on?
[Captain Kang, please help.]
[Private Ahn is missing.]
What do you mean?
What is it?
Captain Kang!
What happened?
Tell him.
Private Ahn was on night watch,
but he wasn't feeling well.
He said he'd go throw up,
so I thought he'd be
back and asleep, but
-Did you report this?
-No.
Even if I did, it would
take them hours to get here.
Hang on.
He threw up?
Go away.
We found traces of vomit
at the entrance to the forest there.
Assuming he went that way,
we went in to search.
But we almost got lost too,
so we had to retreat.
Dalgwi Forest is a climax forest.
It's filled with trees that look the same.
[People get direction illusion in there
even during daytime.]
[Our missing man probably did too.]
[Keep checking your GPS device
during the search.]
[If you're circling in one direction,
direction illusion has begun.]
Do you think we can find him?
You're different from me.
We'll go back together with him.
Let's make that happen.
Private Ahn!
Jae-seon.
-Ahn Jae-seon!
-Private Ahn!
Jae-seon!
Ahn Jae-seon!
-Private Ahn!
-Private Ahn!
-Ahn Jae-seon!
-Private Ahn!
Private Ahn!
Jae-seon!
Ahn Jae-seon!
Jae-seon!
[Speed: 2.7km per hour, Distance: 1.81km]
Wake up.
How's his state?
Not good.
Private Ahn!
Call a helicopter! He's in a bad state.
Medic!
How can you leave me like this?
That poor, poor thing.
Oh, my goodness.
That poor thing.
My goodness.
[Funeral Home]
Are you all right?
We're going home.
Take good care of her.
Everything will be fine.
You tried your best.
Granny Geum-rye
has confused the edible mushrooms
with poisonous ones before.
They look similar.
By the way
Was Yi-gang okay?
When her parents died
in the Dowon Valley flood,
Yi-gang found their bodies
with her own hands on the mountain.
How?
Things were slow
because they were short of staff.
She got frustrated and went up herself.
Maybe she thought
they'd be alive at the time.
In any case, she fainted at the sight
and had to be carried down.
Those memories don't easily fade.
So it's still hard for her
to look at a corpse.
If it's that hard,
why does she keep doing this?
You'll see when you get to
her twenty-four.
[Gamnamu Restaurant]
We're closed.
We're closed.
But I'm your colleague.
Doesn't matter.
Wow, this is so good!
This will be the last time I'm doing this.
You should drink if you want.
It's not sweet potato flavor.
We don't carry those here.
Now tell me.
You must have come for a reason.
I went to see Private Ahn.
He's gotten a lot better.
Thank you, sir.
It was food poisoning?
Yes. I ate something bad.
I heard from Lieutenant Choi
that you drank water from the valley.
Yes. I found my water bottle,
and it was empty.
The spring water looked cold.
Who gave you the yogurt drink?
You were fine when we first met.
You would've felt sick right away
if you drank bad water.
Tell me the truth, and I won't tell
Lieutenant Choi.
Yogurt drink?
When he fell behind,
the hiker looking at the pink rucksack
handed him a yogurt.
He took it and drank
before he went to sleep.
Since then, he felt dizzy and nauseous
and was even hallucinated.
What do you mean?
You can't get poisoning
from drinking yogurt.
Someone was being chased
at the stone pagoda ground.
The person fainted and fell.
There was also
an empty yogurt bottle next to him.
But that person
wasn't Private Ahn.
Because he was found in Dalgwi Forest.
Someone else must have
drunk it and passed out.
I appreciate your help this time.
If we hadn't gone to the stone
pagoda place you mentioned,
we wouldn't have been
able to save Private Ahn.
But I'm still not sure what you see.
[Kim Hyeon-su!]
Hyeon-su!
The height changed.
It was the past.
Hyeon-su
[It was the day Hyeon-su died.]
[What I saw was the past, of a year ago.]
[Someone murdered my colleague.]
[And that person is]
[still on this mountain.]
[Killing people]
[on this mountain]
[to this day.]
[Jirisan]
[I saw a hand.]
[There were five scratch scars.]
[We only need to find him.]
[He's got to be our culprit.]
[You have to look elsewhere,
not the mountain.]
[Haedong One, 3km from
Saemagol. An explosion noise!]
[Check for an SOS!]
It means a civilian died
because of a park ranger's mistake.
[Someone else was on that mountain.]
I will find that person,
no matter what it takes.
[There's something I need to tell.]
[A ranger?]
It's him.
What do you mean?
It's him!

[The show is an adapted fiction based on

[All characters, events, regions,]
[organizations depicted in the show
are fictitious.]
[I still don't get what happened then.]
So why did you go up there that day?
What on earth happened
between you and Hyun-jo?
[We only tried to protect the mountain.]
Because that was our job.
I heard you're a legend.
Is there anything I can do to help?
We could search together.
[At the 4km point,]
[there's an old oak tree
behind Mang-bawi Rock.]
[There should be a rotten root base
at the bottom.]
[Can you make this mark there?]
Yi-gang. When did you return?
I came to ask you something.
Do you know anything about this case?
Isn't this that Yang Geun-tak guy
who was found recently?
What about the yellow ribbon?
Why are you asking
about yellow the ribbon?
I found a spot for you
at the headquarters in Wonju.
But I
Go to the headquarters.
[When I got injured here before,]
[there were yellow ribbons.]
[If they belonged to the illegal hikers,]
[wouldn't they lead to the top?]
[But not those ribbons.]
[They were tied to the other way,]
[not the top.]
[As if]
they wanted you to get lost.
[Name of the Missing: Yang Geun-tak]
[Action Taken]
Haedong Ranger Station.
Okay. I'll find it and let you know.
-Hello, sir.
-How are you doing?
-Have a great day.
-Thank you.
You all right?
[Jo Dae-jin]
Lee Da-won!
What are you doing there?
Hurry up!
Coming!
Hey, wait for me!
Hurry up!
I've installed the automated sensor camera
like you asked me to.
Did I mess anything up?
No, you did a great job.
Was there anything else
while you were up there?
Like, did you see someone suspicious?
No, I don't think so.
[Do you know what that bell is for?]
[Apparently, there are
28 different worlds]
[on top of the one we're living in.]
[So when that bell rings,]
[the ghost world opens up too.]
And the ghosts that live on the mountain
all come out.
I heard that too.
A teenage girl
[hanged herself behind
Jangteomok Shelter.]
[She slept in Bed 15 before she died,]
and ever since, those who sleep there
wake up with a red mark around their neck.
Goodness, you fools. That's enough.
There's a male ghost
on Mount Jirisan these days.
[I heard from the herb collector
who's been coming here for years.]
[He's covered in blood,]
[and everyone who's seen him all died.]
[You mean there's
a grim reaper on Mount Jirisan?]
Yi-gang.
[Year 2018]
Take my hand.
I can't
Step on my foot.
What? No. I can't do that.
It's okay. Just think of it as a step
and come down.
I'm sorry.
Don't confuse Jirisan to be for beginners
thinking it's not as rocky.
Plus, you're sure to get tired
when you carry something like that.
I'm so sorry.
I'm fine!
I thought I'd pray for my son
who's going to college next year.
Cheonwangbong Peak is supposed to
have such great energy.
Jirisan is only a mountain.
There's no energy or anything.
If you want to pray,
go to a church or a temple.
At least you won't get tired going up.
[Baemsagol Trail]
[Baemsagol Trail]
Ma'am.
Don't forget this watermelon
that's been to Mount Jirisan.
Go give it to your son.
Thank you so much for carrying it.
It's nothing.
If your son gets into a college,
please come back together.
Of course!
Make sure you're wearing
proper hiking gear then.
Will do.
Get home safe!
Is your foot okay?
Should I go get a patch?
It's fine.
[Bidam 1. Baektogol, 3km.
Prayer point on the restricted trail.]
[Report of illegal shamanism.]
[Haedong 1, on a special patrol
at 4km from Yangseokbong Peak.]
[We'll make it]
[in an hour and a half.]
[Haedong 2, entrance to the trail
from Haedong Ranger Station.]
We're leaving now.
[Bidam 2. Entrance to Dowon Valley.]
[We're leaving now too.]
What are you doing there?
Are you already tired
from carrying that watermelon?
No!
I'm coming!
I got this.
What's all that?
Shamanistic possession.
This can't be good.
It's an invocatory gut.
They won't back down easily.
You guys are here.
What brings you here?
He's all into this stuff.
I'm not into it.
I'm curious about shamanism
that's been going on for generations.
What a spectacular sight.
Let's take care of this
before it gets dark.
Oh, right.
Do you know that
Sorry?
There's something you must do
before kicking the shamans out.
What's that?
How can you not know?
This is very important.
You must call out
"King's orders" before doing it.
Otherwise, you'll be unlucky
for three years.
What on earth?
Hey, it's up to you.
But you know what happened
to those who didn't say it?
They failed their driving test five times,
had their leg broken,
or got hemorrhoids. It was crazy.
It's up to you.
You must be kidding.
Don't tell me you actually believe that.
King's orders!
One, two!
King's orders!
King's orders.
I'm Park Il-hae,
Chief of Mount Jiri National
What on earth are you saying?
Hey, cut it off!
Sir! Hold on.
-Excuse me.
-Goodness.
Attention.
-You've violated Article 29 Clause 1
-King's orders.
regarding restriction of business.
You wretch!
And Article 28 Clause 1
regarding restricted areas.
Oh, my.
You also used fire.
How much is all this fine?
Hello, hello. It's King's orders.
-Mister.
-Go away!
-Be careful.
-Wrap this up.
-Il-hae.
-Let go of me.
You're all in trouble.
Goodness, how old are you?
Aren't you cold?
Here, put on your shoes.
Gosh, what beautiful shoes!
Where's your mommy?
You should do your homework
instead of coming here.
All right?
Don't fall! You'll break your skull.
And that hurts a lot.
-What do you think you're doing?
-Be careful.
What's going on?
It's King's orders.
-Who are they?
-It's King's orders.
-My goodness.
-Hello.
The stretches didn't help. Gosh.
Let's wrap it up quickly and go down.
Sir!
-Well done.
-You wretch!
-You've made a violation.
-What?
-There will be a 100K won fine.
-You wretch!
That's per person.
You know what happens
if you don't pay it right away.
There's a late charge.
You'd better pay it in time.
Are you all right?
You're destined to roam the mountains
even when you're dead.
What?
What was that?
What's that?
I've never seen this kind of
talisman before.
I should take it and do some research.
People like these must come here often.
You know the expression in Korean,
"go to a valley,"
which means "to die?"
"Gone to a valley."
It originated from here, since no one
walks out of Baektogol Valley alive.
[This place has
especially strong yin energy,]
[even for Mount Jirisan.]
[The Donghak Peasant Revolution.
The Japanese invasion.]
The Korean War, and the Partisan Battle.
Many people died here
for a period of time.
Human bones are still being
dug up to this day.
There are many places in Baektogol
with a cross or stone pagoda.
[They're for those who died
without a grave.]
If ghosts exist,
this is the place for them.
That's why these shamans
come here to get energy.
[This place had such a history.]
[If ghosts exist,]
[if there's something,]
[this is the place
that suit them the most.]
Thank you!
Great work.
-Thanks.
-We're here.
-Take care.
-See you.
-Good night.
-All right.
This way.
Drive safe.
Oh, gosh.
Where to?
Gamnamu Restaurant would be ideal.
No. If Grandma gets in,
it'll be all night.
Then the residence?
Sure. Let's go.
What are they saying?
What do you think?
We have to drink to chase the ghosts away.
I see. What about Sol then?
That's exactly why he's not drinking.
What?
You mean he was the top in his year?
That's right.
Mount Jirisan is so wide and rough,
so everyone avoids coming here.
But they were shocked that
the top volunteered to come.
Wow. He's the opposite of Yi-gang.
She was the lowest.
Hey! I didn't care about the test.
Whatever.
Actually, that's true.
She hated mountains,
but her granny dragged her here.
What about the promotion test then?
You got a nosebleed studying,
yet you got the lowest score
in the history of national park rangers.
She's always the lowest.
Look at you. Hey! You failed the test too.
Settle down.
I'm embarrassed to be
the only promoted one here.
Seriously.
I'm so embarrassed.
Hey.
[Sweet potato Makgeolli]
She drank sweet potato makgeolli.
Thanks for the drinks. See you all.
Hey, you drank
I'll walk her home.
You know she drank sweet potato
Will he be okay?
He should go through it too.
Wait up!
[Gamnamu Restaurant]
You want to get some fresh air?
Yi-gang.
By the way,
how did you become a ranger
if you hated mountains so much?
I'll
I'll tell you
how I became a ranger.
Listen carefully.
I was six
when I first climbed this mountain.
Yi-gang?
My parents lived near Mount Jirisan.
I reached Cheonwangbong Peak
for the first time at seven.
When I was eight,
I brought a Coke and drank it there.
That's when I
started climbing the mountain.
When I was nine,
I started to walk along the ridges.
Yi-gang?
It's okay.
I'm fine.
Are you listening?
Yes.
That's when I started
flying around the mountains.
You know?
Instead of walking.
You've never seen stars up there, right?
I've got more.
When I was ten
I brought some of your favorites
to share with you, Mom.
How far did she get?
Until thirteen.
Still a long way to go.
No first love story yet?
-First love?
-Yes.
That's enough.
I'll do it.
[It'll continue to be sunny
throughout the week.]
[The temperature will be
4℃ higher than yesterday.]
[But there will be a chilly wind
in the morning and evening.]
["Red Dragon Division,
Ruck March Request"]
[The temperature gap will be wide,
so please bring a sweater.]
["Habokri Chimadae, Heohang Pass,
Mongdol Road, Baektogol"]
[The highest temperature will be]
[Baektogol]
[Baektogol]
Kang Hyun-jo.
Kang Hyun-jo!
What's wrong?
[The waves will be relatively calm.]
[Next week,
we're expecting rain nationwide.]
Haedong Ranger Station.
Oh, hello.
What's going on?
Sure, we'll check.
Okay.
What is it?
Granny Geum-rye
is up on the mountain again.
And she's not back yet.
She's not picking up her phone, either.
Are they sure she went up the mountain?
Her rucksack and equipment are gone too.
But she never gets lost in the mountain.
Who is this Granny Geum-rye?
She lost her mother in Baektogol
when she was young.
So she goes up several times a year
to commemorate her mother.
She's notorious among
rangers for illegal hiking.
Baektogol
It's right here.
Are these real bullet holes?
Yes. There was a civilian massacre here
long ago.
So we call it the Bullet Tree.
Jung Gu-yeong.
Any news on Granny Geum-rye?
[No, not yet.]
[Her family's looking everywhere.]
[-Did you arrive?]
-Yes.
We know she came for sure,
but something's amiss.
She always took
every last thing she brought.
But today, she left everything.
We'll search this area.
Check the security camera.
[There's no camera on restricted trails.]
There's one on the road by the entrance.
Ask the police for cooperation.
What are you doing?
There's signal here.
If she's near, we'll hear her phone.
It might be on vibrate mode.
Let's split and search some more.
You take the side road.
Wait.
Baektogol, stone pagoda ground.
Can we search there?
Why?
Are you seeing things again?
What did you see?
You never believed
in the Seven Wonders of the World, right?
Just because you don't get them
doesn't mean they're lies.
The pyramids, Moai,
the Bermuda Triangle
These things all exist.
What on earth are you saying?
Never mind.
If you don't trust me, I'll go alone.
Hey!
What?
Wrong way.
Follow me.
I found nothing.
You?
I saw it for sure. It was right here.
I shouldn't have trusted you.
I'm serious. It was here.
Whatever.
Are you the national park staff?
Yes, we're from Haedong Ranger Station.
We were informed about your march.
Captain Kang?
Is that you?
It's been a while.
Is Granny back yet?
[Not yet.]
[She didn't go
to a friend's house either.]
Have you checked the security camera?
[I've checked all
near the entrance to Baektogol.]
[But she's not on them.]
[I think she's still on the mountain.]
I heard that you were discharged,
but I didn't expect to see you here.
Was it because of what happened?
It was here, right?
Where Sergeant Kim was found.
How's the march going?
No accident?
It's just training.
It'll be over tomorrow.
Are you on patrol this late at night?
We're just checking something.
Have you met an old lady during the march?
No, I haven't seen any civilian.
What's wrong?
An old lady went missing.
Any small thing you noticed?
She seems to have crossed your way.
Sir.
What is it?
When I fell behind earlier
Oh, this is Private Ahn.
He lost his water bottle
at Baektogol ridge three hours ago,
and he went AWOL and fell behind.
So?
What happened then?
You saw a civilian?
Yes, sir. He said he came for hiking.
He was looking at a rucksack,
and he said he was wondering whose it was.
What color was the rucksack?
It was pink.
Was this it?
Yes. That's the one.
Where was this?
It was the 50-minute point from Baeksil.
Right here.
If we take the shortcut,
we could get there in an hour.
Let's go.
Get back safely.
Over there.
Is it hers?
Common Rustgill.
It's extremely poisonous, so why
What happens if you eat them?
You get dizzy, nauseous,
stomachache, and hallucinations.
You might die if you consume a lot.
We must find her now.
[Mun-ok's Granddaughter Yi-gang]
No answer?
Wait.
[Mun-ok's Granddaughter Yi-gang]
No vital signs!
Yi-gang.
Please radio them.
Yi-gang.
Yi-gang?
Yi-gang!
Sit down.
No I'm all right.
Please sit.
Can you do that?
Breathe deep. Slowly.
One more time.
This is Hyun-jo speaking.
[What happened?]
[Did you find Granny Geum-rye?]
[She still hasn't called home.]
We found her.
[You did? How is she?]
No vital signs.
She's presumed dead.
[Her location?]
Baektogol, Hyeongje Rock, 30m northwest.
It's 30m northwest
of Hyeongje Rock in Baektogol.
[I'll let Bidam Shelter know.]
[It'll be a couple of hours.]
This is the second time.
That I'm seeing a dead person
on Mount Jirisan.
Back there
at the stone pagoda ground,
I've had to let a sergeant die before.
I valued him more than anyone else.
But he died alone and lonely
on the mountain because of me.
If we keep this pace,
we'll set a new record.
Carry on, soldiers! Speed up a little.
-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!
That's the spirit.
Kim Hyeon-su, you all right?
Yes, sir!
This is your hometown, right?
That's right, sir!
Must be nice.
I hope your hometown energizes you.
Thank you, sir!
Let's go!
What do you mean?
Sergeant Kim is missing?
He disappeared while I wasn't looking.
How long has it been?
About thirty minutes.
[Sergeant Kim!]
Sergeant Kim!
-Sergeant Kim.
-Sergeant Kim.
-Sergeant Kim!
-Sergeant Kim!
Sergeant Kim!
Kim Hyeon-su!
Kim Hyeon-su!
Kim Hyeon-su!
Hyeon-su!
Hyeon-su
Hyeon-su
[And that's when I started]
to see people dying on this mountain.
[At first, I thought
I was imagining things.]
[Last night, a 70-year-old woman fell off
from a cliff on Mount Jirisan and died.]
[Allegedly, the accident happened
as a rotten rope on a cliff broke.]
[National Park Service has been
accused for the accident.]
[But they were always followed]
[by the news that something bad
happened on Mount Jirisan.]
I was afraid of coming back here.
But I thought it was
the right thing to do.
Sol told me
that there's something
about this Baektogol.
I'm not sure if it's
a ghost or a guardian spirit.
But I think it gave me a gift.
To save people.
I believed in them.
Sorry?
The Seven Wonders of the World,
when I was little.
[Lieutenant Choi]
What's going on?
[Captain Kang, please help.]
[Private Ahn is missing.]
What do you mean?
What is it?
Captain Kang!
What happened?
Tell him.
Private Ahn was on night watch,
but he wasn't feeling well.
He said he'd go throw up,
so I thought he'd be
back and asleep, but
-Did you report this?
-No.
Even if I did, it would
take them hours to get here.
Hang on.
He threw up?
Go away.
We found traces of vomit
at the entrance to the forest there.
Assuming he went that way,
we went in to search.
But we almost got lost too,
so we had to retreat.
Dalgwi Forest is a climax forest.
It's filled with trees that look the same.
[People get direction illusion in there
even during daytime.]
[Our missing man probably did too.]
[Keep checking your GPS device
during the search.]
[If you're circling in one direction,
direction illusion has begun.]
Do you think we can find him?
You're different from me.
We'll go back together with him.
Let's make that happen.
Private Ahn!
Jae-seon.
-Ahn Jae-seon!
-Private Ahn!
Jae-seon!
Ahn Jae-seon!
-Private Ahn!
-Private Ahn!
-Ahn Jae-seon!
-Private Ahn!
Private Ahn!
Jae-seon!
Ahn Jae-seon!
Jae-seon!
[Speed: 2.7km per hour, Distance: 1.81km]
Wake up.
How's his state?
Not good.
Private Ahn!
Call a helicopter! He's in a bad state.
Medic!
How can you leave me like this?
That poor, poor thing.
Oh, my goodness.
That poor thing.
My goodness.
[Funeral Home]
Are you all right?
We're going home.
Take good care of her.
Everything will be fine.
You tried your best.
Granny Geum-rye
has confused the edible mushrooms
with poisonous ones before.
They look similar.
By the way
Was Yi-gang okay?
When her parents died
in the Dowon Valley flood,
Yi-gang found their bodies
with her own hands on the mountain.
How?
Things were slow
because they were short of staff.
She got frustrated and went up herself.
Maybe she thought
they'd be alive at the time.
In any case, she fainted at the sight
and had to be carried down.
Those memories don't easily fade.
So it's still hard for her
to look at a corpse.
If it's that hard,
why does she keep doing this?
You'll see when you get to
her twenty-four.
[Gamnamu Restaurant]
We're closed.
We're closed.
But I'm your colleague.
Doesn't matter.
Wow, this is so good!
This will be the last time I'm doing this.
You should drink if you want.
It's not sweet potato flavor.
We don't carry those here.
Now tell me.
You must have come for a reason.
I went to see Private Ahn.
He's gotten a lot better.
Thank you, sir.
It was food poisoning?
Yes. I ate something bad.
I heard from Lieutenant Choi
that you drank water from the valley.
Yes. I found my water bottle,
and it was empty.
The spring water looked cold.
Who gave you the yogurt drink?
You were fine when we first met.
You would've felt sick right away
if you drank bad water.
Tell me the truth, and I won't tell
Lieutenant Choi.
Yogurt drink?
When he fell behind,
the hiker looking at the pink rucksack
handed him a yogurt.
He took it and drank
before he went to sleep.
Since then, he felt dizzy and nauseous
and was even hallucinated.
What do you mean?
You can't get poisoning
from drinking yogurt.
Someone was being chased
at the stone pagoda ground.
The person fainted and fell.
There was also
an empty yogurt bottle next to him.
But that person
wasn't Private Ahn.
Because he was found in Dalgwi Forest.
Someone else must have
drunk it and passed out.
I appreciate your help this time.
If we hadn't gone to the stone
pagoda place you mentioned,
we wouldn't have been
able to save Private Ahn.
But I'm still not sure what you see.
[Kim Hyeon-su!]
Hyeon-su!
The height changed.
It was the past.
Hyeon-su
[It was the day Hyeon-su died.]
[What I saw was the past, of a year ago.]
[Someone murdered my colleague.]
[And that person is]
[still on this mountain.]
[Killing people]
[on this mountain]
[to this day.]
[Jirisan]
[I saw a hand.]
[There were five scratch scars.]
[We only need to find him.]
[He's got to be our culprit.]
[You have to look elsewhere,
not the mountain.]
[Haedong One, 3km from
Saemagol. An explosion noise!]
[Check for an SOS!]
It means a civilian died
because of a park ranger's mistake.
[Someone else was on that mountain.]
I will find that person,
no matter what it takes.
[There's something I need to tell.]
[A ranger?]
It's him.
What do you mean?
It's him!
