THE FIRST RESPONDERS
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS,
ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS, GROUPS,
AND BACKGROUNDS DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS
Hey, just eat, okay?
The document.
(grunts)
She hasn't been cremated yet, has she?
(groans)
Selling one of her kidneys would give me
half of the money I had lent her!
-(gasps)
-What are you doing?
Sit down!
(whimpers)
CONDOLENCE BOX
(tense music)
LOAN SHARK: I'm here to retrieve my money.
She's got money
to travel to the afterlife,
but none to pay off her debt?
You scumbags!
(crying)
LOAN SHARK: Let's see.
Whoever gave this money has no manners.
(snickers)
They just gave 10,000 won.
Park Jihwan paid 150,000 won?
He must have slept with her.
You bastards!
You deserve to die!
(sobbing)
Granny.
Your daughter, who borrowed money
and didn't pay me back, is the bastard.
I'm not a bastard, you know.
Ta-da.
This is her will.
LOAN SHARK: What do you think?
OLD WOMAN:
The principal was 30 million won?
She said she only borrowed five million.
(scoffs)
You don't know anything, do you?
She wasn't able to pay the interest
for a very long time,
so the principal amount increased.
LOAN SHARK: Goodness.
(snickers)
(sobbing)
Oh, dear.
Poor you.
-MAN 1: Your murderous interest rates!
-MAN 2: Get your ID cards ready!
-MAN 3: Daemoo Group, disband!
-ALL: Disband!
-CHIYOUNG: Your Honor.
-Disband!
My client has never charged
over the legal interest rate.
Plus, the money-lending process
was completely legal
MAN 4: Stop with your crap!
-MAN 5: Don't you dare lie!
-You call yourselves humans?
(people clamoring)
My daughter died,
because of your inhumane interest rate!
You all deserve to die!
Are you not afraid of the heavens?
(people clamoring)
(old lady wails)
That old lady is here again.
They're always desperate
when borrowing money,
and only act out when it's time to pay.
(sighs)
PROSECUTOR
PROSECUTOR: A loan increase
is when they add
the overdue interest to the principal,
thus increasing the overall amount.
This is what
heinous loan sharks typically do.
Many have fallen victim to this scheme.
My daughter said they took her seal.
Then these documents
could have been fabricated.
Right.
PROSECUTOR: Oh, dear.
But, ma'am,
as long as there's a seal
on these documents,
there's no way to prove
that they were forged.
LOAN AMOUNT: 30 MILLION WON
INTEREST RATE: 24% PA
LOAN AMOUNT: 5 MILLION WON
INTEREST RATE: 6% PA
There is a way.
If this was fabricated,
there must be a trace.
I know the best place in this country
that analyzes document authentication.
But the trial is just around the corner.
Please buy me some time.
I'll get it done somehow.
We'll try to stall for time
as much as possible.
(sobbing)
Please help my daughter rest in peace.
I'll do my utmost best.
By the way, how's the Jindo Dog doing?
(funky music)
What are you looking at?
Do you have a death wish?
Are you pissed?
(sighs)
I look too kind.
Should I make a cut here?
(upbeat music)
(music halts)
Do I look like a thug?
You already look like a thug.
Really?
(sighs)
I should move out to avoid that eyesore.
(upbeat music continues)
LOAN APPLICATION FORM
LOAN INCREASE
CODE BLACK: EMERGENCY CODE ISSUED
WHEN THE LIVES OF OTHERS ARE THREATENED,
SUCH AS BOMB THREATS AND TERRORISM
(grunts)
Blow on it.
You're out if you're drunk.
I like that you're meticulous.
(blows air)
(beeps)
-(blows air)
-(beeps)
-(blows air)
-(beeps)
-(blows air)
-(beeps)
-(blows air)
-(multiple beeping)
-You're out.
-I'm not drunk.
I only had three shots of soju.
Get lost.
Darn it.
(Hogae clears throat)
Now that we're qualified,
tell us what we need to do.
The company name changed.
From a year to five years.
Five years or more?
What does he mean by five years?
The punishment for the offense changed
from one year for theft to five years.
Murder.
(ominous music)
But this isn't what we agreed on.
I'll increase your pay
from 3 million to 30 million.
-Really?
-Leave if you're too scared.
Darn it. I'm out.
You never said we'd be committing murder.
DOHYUNG: Hey.
What?
(tense music)
Keep it on the down-low.
All right.
Nice.
You're serious about this.
I'm Gwak.
I think I'm the youngest here.
You can call me Choi.
And you?
Just buy the burner phones. I'm out.
(sighs)
DOHYUNG: Forget it.
Hey.
I want 35 million.
What?
I can't get caught since I'm on probation
for two previous offenses already.
Are you bragging?
Just shut up. I should get paid more
since I'm experienced.
What'll you do?
Do you want to be reckless
with these two rookies?
Deal.
(clears throat)
Just call me Burner.
So whose life is worth so much?
None of your business.
-Props What about weapons?
-Again, none of your business.
You're not telling us anything?
I need to prepare myself.
DOHYUNG: Your phone.
Turn it off and put it in here.
(ominous music)
You're not allowed to attend
to personal matters till your job is done.
You should follow company rules
if you want to get paid, right?
STORE EXPANSION
OPENING EVEN
(action music)
A grocery store?
Do we need to buy something?
Here's the list.
3 BUTANE GAS, 3 GAS HOSES, 20 RAMYEON,
3 CONTAINER DRUMS, 10 2-L WATER
You hired us to do your groceries?
Don't complain and just do as I say.
HOGAE: Darn it.
-CHOI: Shouldn't you wear your hat?
-My hair will get messed up.
WOMAN 1: What do they want?
SEOL: They're craving ramyeon again.
WOMAN 1: Then we should get them some.
(hip-hop music playing)
-Are you coming?
-Yeah. Go first.
WOMAN 2: Oh, no. Someone's collapsed!
MAN 6: What do we do?
WOMAN 3: Oh, dear.
Please make way! I'm a paramedic!
-MAN 7: Someone's here.
-WOMAN 4: She's here.
-WOMAN 5: Oh, no.
-WOMAN 6: Gosh.
-Goodness.
-MAN 8: Shouldn't we call an ambulance?
Please give us some room.
WOMAN 7: Goodness.
WOMAN 9: What's going on?
Are you okay?
You suddenly collapsed.
-What
-WOMAN 10: Gosh.
SEOL: Should I call an ambulance?
Just let me be.
Do you know why you had a seizure?
Are you here alone?
I said let me be.
Where's Burner?
-Don't call for me, you lunatic.
-Burner!
(people gasp)
WOMAN 11: Oh, no.
SEOL: Is there his friend nearby?
Where's his guardian?
I think it's that man over there.
I think it's him.
Excuse me!
-WOMAN 12: It's him.
-They're wearing the same uniform.
(suspenseful music)
Move!
HOGAE:
What are you looking at, woman? Move!
-Never seen a person with epilepsy before?
-Wait
Shut up!
Is he insane?
I heard you can't reach the junkie.
Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?
I'm sorry, sir.
He had never turned off his phone before.
Find him at all costs.
As soon as possible, got it?
Yes, sir.
(tense music)
Burner.
How did you know I had epilepsy?
I could just tell.
Even that paramedic didn't know.
Hey, did you take your medication?
You're out if you get caught.
(suspenseful music)
HANKUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
DOHYUNG:
I have the first-floor security key.
There's a stairway
at the end of the building. No elevators.
There's a total of 16 people
in that building as we speak.
Our target is in the research lab
on the fourth floor.
You may begin.
ANNA: All fabricated documents
leave a trace.
DATE: AUGUST 17, 2019
If I analyze the mixture ratios
of the pulp from the paper,
I can determine the production year.
(tense music)
(grunts)
(panting)
(Hogae sighs)
What are you looking at?
(zips jacket)
CHOI: Hey, Kim.
What is this heavy thing?
Put your hat back on.
Darn it. It was just too hot.
I'm drenched in sweat right now.
Put it on this instant.
A drop of liquid on that, and it's over.
Do you understand?
CHOI: Why are you overreacting
over nothing?
(groans)
Is that a yes?
Stack it up on the floor.
All right.
What should a pro like me do?
(plastic rustling)
Cook it.
Here's the ramyeon.
Ah!
Jindo Dog must really be out of his mind.
-You just realized that?
-What happened?
-"What are you looking at, woman?"
-(groans)
-That's what he said to me.
-You startled me.
-Seriously?
-Yes.
-Was he wearing lousy clothes?
-Yes.
Pil, do you know what's going on?
A mere human like me can't possibly fathom
the thoughts of the great Jindo Dog.
-DONGWOO: Officer Song.
-Yes?
Was this shampoo for you?
It was in the groceries.
No. I never picked that up.
Let me see that.
FOR DRY SCALP
SOS SHAMPOO
"SOS"?
(alarm blares)
-There's a call.
-DISPATCHER: Dispatch for medical
-and rescue teams.
-PIL: Be careful.
-Okay?
-Dispatch for medical and rescue.
A malfunctioned elevator
with people inside.
I'll have to eat all of this.
(alarm blaring)
(tense music)
Can we have some of this?
(engine revving)
CHOI: They must have really ordered food
after smelling the ramyeon. Amazing.
They always order food around this time.
What? Then why did you make us
cook all this ramyeon?
To get rid of a variable.
Is that for Room 403?
What took you so long?
I came as quickly as possible.
-Was it prepaid?
-Yes, it was.
-I see. Thank you.
-No problem.
Excuse me! Hold on.
What is it?
Wait.
Could you deliver this
to the cold room in Room 302?
Sure, okay. Goodbye.
DELIVERY MAN: Great. Thank you.
(chuckling)
Why did he seem so familiar?
I must have mistaken him for someone else.
TYPES OF FINGERPRINTS
HOGAE: Delivery.
WOMAN: Coming.
Here you go.
-Okay.
-Our food is here.
I can't wait.
WOMAN: Thank you.
Is the hoodie our target?
Be quiet.
(suspenseful music)
Dojin.
Yes?
I think Detective Jin put this
in our cart. It's a bit odd.
Jindo Dog?
Move! Never seen a person
with epilepsy before?
-Get up.
-Wait
Shut up! Move.
FOR DRY SCALP
SOS SHAMPOO
"SOS."
You're right. It's a bit odd.
Come to think of it, he did say
something strange this afternoon.
What was it?
PIL: What are you doing?
Hey, where's Anna?
PIL: She's working outside today.
She's assessing some authentication.
Darn it.
Do you have an extra GPS tracker?
PIL: Aren't you off duty today?
That's not for private use.
So? Did you give him a tracker?
I did. Let's go.
(suspenseful music)
DOHYUNG: You two.
Cover the entire fourth-floor hallway
with this soil.
And, Burner,
you and I will lock all the doors
of the labs on the fourth floor.
We need to seal off
this entire building in 15 minutes.
(suspenseful music)
No one should escape or enter.
What is he doing at a place like this?
He wanted me to track him,
but he left his car here. Darn it.
Where's his phone?
He turned it off in this area.
-(trilling)
-PIL: Ah
This place smells fishy.
There are no CCTV cameras around.
It reeks around here.
Tell me about it.
He's not the type
who'd normally ask for help.
PIL: Never.
It's odd that he cursed at me, too.
He always had a filthy mouth.
Right. I remember something.
Hold on.
"A spree with full items."
What are you doing?
HOGAE: It's for a sting operation.
I provide an outreach arrest service
for criminals.
Here.
A SPREE WITH FULL ITEMS
-Here it is. Myeongpil.
-PIL: Yes?
Can you help me read the posts?
PIL: I'd have to ask
the portal for assistance.
I'll call them tomorrow morning
No, not tomorrow.
That'll be too late.
(sucks teeth)
I'll have to take an unofficial approach.
(scoffs)
By asking your sister?
(ominous music)
DOHYUNG: All the laboratories are locked.
Once they're done, we'll seal off
the fourth-floor stairway and leave.
Then what about the others inside?
That's not my business.
Nor is it yours.
Why is it so complicated?
Let's just go and stab our target.
Just shut up
and let's finish what we started.
A SPREE WITH FULL ITEMS
ANNA: "Looking for a tough worker"?
It's a site where ex-convicts gather
to commit crimes.
Ex-convicts?
(sighs)
What in the world is he up to?
Jindo Dog left a comment on that site.
Can you check?
Dojin, my hands are full right now.
Come on. This is urgent.
It took you only ten minutes
to do this in high school.
(sighs)
Fine, I'll look into it.
And it was five minutes, not ten.
(keyboard clacking)
CHOI: We're done.
Can I go to the toilet first? It's urgent.
I told you to always stay with the group.
Then should I just do it here?
Go.
(thrilling music)
Can we have some of this?
DOHYUNG: A drop of liquid on that,
and it's over. Do you understand?
(suspenseful music)
(music halts)
What is this?
(explosion)
(tense music)
That lunatic.
GWAK: What was that?
Burner.
-HOGAE: Yes?
-Are you coming?
HOGAE: I am.
(toilet flushes)
Let's go.
HOGAE: Why are you in such a rush?
We're sealing off the fourth floor.
Hold on.
Jeez.
You're a bastard, you know?
I can't take this anymore.
I thought our target was just one woman.
This explosion
will blow up the entire building.
-So?
-What do you mean, "so?"
There are 16 of them.
I deserve to get paid for all 16 lives.
He's right. The pay needs to be changed.
CHOI: Hold on.
Can't we just kill one person as planned?
(tense music)
If only one person dies,
they'll carry out an investigation.
But if the entire building blows up,
they'll call for disaster control.
The more victims, the better.
Some blow up an entire plane
to kill off just one target.
I don't care whether you blow up a plane.
Just pay me more, or I'm out.
(sighs)
An experienced one sure is different.
(suspenseful music)
There's no wound.
You're not experienced, are you?
Those aren't the teeth of an ex-convict.
What are you doing?
(whimpering)
These are.
(Choi groans)
What do teeth have to do with ex-convicts?
(groans)
(suspenseful music)
ANNA: I found the one
who uploaded the post.
The IP address looks familiar.
DOJIN: What do you mean?
ANNA: The IP address
is from this building.
Where are you?
I'm at Hankuk National University
for document authentication.
(ominous music)
MR. BAEK:
Anna is doing document authentication
for incriminating a bunch of thugs,
and it can only be done
at Hankuk National University.
That's why she rushed over there.
Those thugs are especially dangerous.
They're part of a huge organization
that lends tens of billions of won
to people and leeches off of them.
They don't hesitate to murder
if things don't go their way.
Darn it.
(siren wailing)
There's no need to go far
if the fire will catch on quickly.
Do you know
what's so great about this building?
It has high water pressure.
(tense music intensifies)
Listen carefully.
This is the most crucial part.
Once we go downstairs and ignite a fire,
the flame will reach this floor
through the stairway.
DOJIN: This feels ominous.
Get out of there, Anna.
(chains clinking)
(Anna panting)
Can you try opening that door?
(doorknob clanking)
I can't open this one, either.
What's going on?
(yells)
(suspenseful music)
(grunting)
(squeaking)
(grunts)
-WOMAN 1: Is no one there?
-MAN: Help us!
-WOMAN 1: We're trapped in here!
-WOMAN 2: Help!
What's going on?
-WOMAN 2: It's locked?
-WOMAN 1: Yes.
-WOMAN 2: What do you mean, locked?
-WOMAN 1: Why?
-Help!
-We're trapped!
-Darn it.
-(squeaking)
(grunts, exhales sharply)
(suspenseful music)
CHOI: Okay.
(panting)
(yells)
(grunts)
(grunts)
(yells)
(banging on door)
If we lose the trial
200 billion won is out the window.
-How's it going?
-DOHYUNG: We're ready to set the fire.
There will be 17 casualties,
including an unwelcome cop.
You can wire the rest of the money
after watching this disaster on the news.
(exhales deeply)
All right.
Here you go, sir.
(sighs)
Attorney Yang, you don't need
to worry about tomorrow's trial.
Preparing documents isn't my forte.
So I did it my way.
(both snicker)
You're making me feel bad
for charging you.
He's pretty good at what he does,
so let's see how this pans out.
DISPATCHER:
Dispatch for medical and rescue teams.
There are people trapped.
Dispatch for medical and rescue teams.
There are people trapped.
-Why
-(thumping)
-The others are trapped too.
-(thumping continues)
The internet is down, too.
I think the Wi-Fi is disconnected.
NEW NETWORK: REPORT EXPLOSIVES.
CALL 119. NOT CONNECTED
HOGAE: Report explosives. Call 119.
"Explosives"?
ANNA: Who is this?
HOGAE: This is Detective Jin Hogae
with Taewon police.
The mud in the hallway explodes
when it meets water.
Sodium metal?
(gasps)
ANNA: This is Bong Anna.
That's sodium metal.
(exhales heavily)
DOHYUNG: Once we go downstairs
and ignite a fire,
the flame will reach this floor
through the stairway.
HOGAE: Anna, they drenched a trailer rope
with kerosene and uncoiled it
until the first floor.
Once they light it, the sprinklers
will turn on, and everything will explode.
ANNA: If the trailer rope is long enough
to reach the fourth floor,
that means it's three meters per floor
and 29m from front to back.
The burning velocity may differ depending
on the amount of moisture on the rope.
Let's say the indoor air velocity is
approximately 0.15 m per second.
If we were to calculate
the amount of time it took for the flame
to reach the fourth floor
and set off the sprinklers,
it's less than five minutes
from the ignition to the explosion.
If all the sprinklers in the hallway
are set off one by one
-(explosion)
-the damage will be immense.
We're running out of time.
(suspenseful music)
Anna, get rid of the sodium metal first.
Is no one outside?
The stairway to the other floors
is all blocked.
And we're all trapped in our labs here.
ANNA: Detective Jin is trapped
in the computer room.
I see. What about the windows?
Can you get out through them?
-ANNA: Dojin.
-WOMAN: Help!
This is the biochemistry laboratory,
so the windows are locked.
(siren wailing)
I'll be there soon. Hang in there.
DISPATCHER: There are explosive substances
on the fourth floor
of Hankuk National University's
lab building.
There are about 20 civilians inside.
The windows and stairway are sealed off.
What do we do?
-Darn it.
-(siren wails in distance)
Not bad.
This laboratory
is Biosafety Level Three Plus, right?
-Correct.
-Here you go.
I'm sure there's an airlock system
in case of a biochemical leak.
There's one near the stairway.
What's your plan?
(suspenseful music)
ANNA: The flame will come
through the stairway,
so we just need to block the oxygen.
There are no sprinklers in the stairway,
and the flame will die with no oxygen.
But everyone in the air conditioning room
has gone home.
I'll hack the system.
(siren wailing)
(suspenseful music)
DOHYUNG: You guys get lost.
I'll wrap up here.
(siren wailing)
-Let's spread out.
-I'll check the entrance.
RESEARCH & LAB BUILDING
Darn it.
(music halts)
PIL: The trailer rope?
(foreboding music)
ANNA: All industrial control systems
have their security loopholes.
I need to extract the files
from the Building Management System
that controls individual systems,
neutralize them
from automatically responding,
and identify the administrative password
for the specific files.
Then I can access the airlock system.
I'm in the Control Panel.
SOON: Taewon's firefighters
are entering the campus right now.
HANKUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
ANNA: The password combination.
This is the last step.
(trilling)
(clanks)
Airlock system activated.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
I closed the airlock.
Come on. Excuse me.
(thrilling music)
(all sigh in relief)
It's done.
WOMAN: It's over.
We're safe.
(sirens wailing)
There's a ventilator on the fourth floor.
Use the ladder truck.
There are explosives
up on the fourth floor.
Split into groups and open each floor.
The rest of you will retrieve the rope
and evacuate the civilians.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am. Run!
Judging by the traces of the ignition,
the suspects may still be around.
Search the premises.
They can't have gone far.
-Yes, sir. Let's go!
-Go!
By the way,
why is Jindo Dog trapped there?
It's a long story.
(clanking)
(action music)
SEOL: Lift it toward the ventilator
of the server room on the fourth floor.
FIREMAN 1: Let's go.
-FIREMAN 2: Okay.
-FIREMAN 3: Hold it here!
(metal clanking)
Hi.
(groaning)
We're going down now. Watch out.
Detective Jin has been rescued.
SEOL: Got it. We're going to move in now,
so pull out the ladder truck.
Let me see your hands.
(groans)
Saline.
Hold this down so it won't get infected.
-FIREMAN 4: Let's hurry!
-FIREMAN 5: Let's go!
A little hiccup.
(suspenseful music)
(clangs)
(chains clinking)
-Follow me.
-Yes, sir.
Team One has entered the building.
Please deactivate the airlock system.
(clanks)
Jihoon, go to the third floor.
Yes, sir.
I've entered the first floor.
JIHOON: I'll enter the third floor.
It's open!
The third floor is open!
Please follow the firefighters.
Six rescued from the first floor.
This way.
Three rescued from the third floor.
Are you all okay? This way.
(suspenseful music)
The power cutter.
This will be at full throttle,
so step back!
KISOO: Yes, sir!
-Kisoo!
-KISOO: Yes, sir!
-Bring me the spreader!
-KISOO: Yes, sir!
We need another spreader.
-Go.
-FIREMAN 6: Yes, ma'am.
-This way.
-Are you okay?
(sighs)
DOHYUNG: What are you looking at?
He had something around his neck.
What was it?
It was a remote control with a button
in the center. The name was
Mos Maste Masco
Masteca?
Yes, that.
They manufacture sprinklers.
They recently contacted us
about a remote control they invented.
A remote control. Sprinklers.
I need to go to the HQ.
Push!
Where's the spreader?
SEOL: It means if the sprinklers
are activated remotely,
it can explode anytime.
MR. BAEK: This means the firefighters
in operation are in danger as well.
Detective Jin, are you sure
about what you saw?
I'm positive.
(panting)
We've rescued a total of nine civilians
from the first to third floors.
There are seven left
in two labs on the fourth floor.
The fourth floor
is the hardest to break into,
so it's taking some time.
-Grab it, Kisoo.
-Okay.
One, two, three.
-DOJIN: One, two, three.
-(thuds)
Dojin, how's it going on the fourth floor?
(panting)
We just broke one lock.
(dramatic music)
KOREA
ON-SCENE COMMANDER
(roof clanking)
(roof cracks)
(fireman screams)
-(distant thud)
-(exhales heavily)
Attention, all firefighters.
Cease the operation
and pull out this instant.
What? She wants us to pull out?
What does she mean?
Chief, what do you mean?
The door is still locked.
Don't ask why,
and just hurry out of there!
What's going on?
(panting)
KISOO: Pull out!
Pull out.
Pull out right now!
What about you?
Let me finish this.
Go down first!
-What are you doing?
-Two is better than one.
One, two, three!
One, two, three!
TAEWON POLICE STATION
ON-SITE COMMAND POS
-SEOL: Chief.
-Please withdraw your command.
There are still civilians trapped inside.
Our firefighters are at risk.
We must pull out from the hot zone.
HOT ZONE: A DISASTER AREA
WITH DIRECT DANGER
Jindo Dog, do you have any other
MR. BAEK: Where in the world did he go?
He just borrowed my phone.
MR. BAEK: What?
Bong Dojin, where are you right now?
I told you to pull out.
We're almost done!
We'll pull out with the civilians!
SOON: Dojin!
You punk.
It was a remote control with a button
in the center. The name was
Mos Maste Masco
-Masteca?
-Yes, that.
They manufacture sprinklers.
A remote control. Sprinklers.
(suspenseful music)
SEOL: Where can you cut off
the water system?
The air conditioning room.
Get down. We're in danger.
ANNA: There's something I must do.
(keyboard clacking)
-(whirring)

I poured liquid nitrogen

PROSECUTOR
WITNESS
DEFENDAN
Your Honor, I request that you allow me
to summon this crucial witness
who will shed some light on the truth.
Request granted.
Those are 298 loan increase forms
regarding the overdue interest
written by Daemoo Group.
When someone who borrowed
ten million won fails to pay on time,
the overdue interest
is added to the principal for a reloan.
In a matter of months, the overall amount
changes from 10 million to 100 million.
Objection, Your Honor.
A loan increase is not illegal.
And you can't raise an issue
over these legal documents.
But I found something odd last night.
Continue.
Please take a look
at the loan increase form.
It was written on August 17, 2019.
I analyzed the production year
of the paper
by carrying out spectroscopy.
And shockingly, it turned out
that the paper was produced in 2021.
(upbeat music)
(crowd murmuring)
(chuckles)
(sighs)
(sighs)
"Sung Yubi."
What should the date be?
The interest should be overdue
for about two years
for this to be worth it.
August 17, 2019.
ANNA: You must not have known
that the A4 paper ingredients
differ every year.
TAEWON POLICE STATION
You're not going to claim
that you took the paper from 2021,
two years into the past, are you?

PIL: It's my treat
since I was hurt the least.
What's the best recovery dish?
Some hot braised cheese chicken.
(laughter)
This is tasty.
Are you really related?
You don't look alike.
I wasn't going to tell you about us.
Hey, I wasn't going to, either.
Shouldn't you thank me
for saving your sister?
You're the one who sent that SOS.
ANNA: You saved me?
I'm the one who activated the airlock
and put out the trailer.
Don't forget who bought this food.
Are you serious?
This part is hot while this part is cold.
You didn't even know
where the water meter was.
(scoffs)
Just say we cooperated on a mission,
and drop it.
I should get going.
SEOL: Where to?
I'm on night duty today.
You should take the night off.
You may not have any fractures,
but you'll still feel sore.
My absence will only burden
the others. I should go.
-I'm leaving.
-I'll come with you.
-SEOL: We're going.
-Okay.
-PIL: Bye.
-ANNA: Bye.
Shouldn't you go, too?

But I just couldn't do it.
DOJIN: You know how my first rescue went.

MAN: No!
No!
-No
-DOJIN: That's when I promised
to be the first one in
and the last one out.
Right.
Dojin, I feel the same way.
That's why I ordered everyone to pull out.
You're not the only one who feels guilty
for making it out alive.
Thank you for coming back safe and sound.
I'm not worried about you,
but do take care of Kisoo.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry.
I hope you No, I hope that we can work
as firefighters for a long time.
Bong Dojin. Bulldozer.
Okay?
Yes, ma'am.
(chuckles)
MAN: Hey, where are the firefighters?
Where's the one
who committed a hit-and-run?
Come on out!
You destroyed my car,
and the repair costs 980,000 won.
So I'm about to report you
for a hit-and-run incident.
A hit-and-run? What do you mean?
Well, see for yourself.
I got it all on my dashcam.
What? Kisoo.
Right. That smoke report.
DOJIN: Kisoo, I think it's that house.
-It's spreading quite fast, right?
-KISOO: I think so.
This won't do. I'll just go.
This is obviously a hit-and-run.
SOON: According to Article 25
of the Fire Services Act,
firefighters are allowed
to remove any vehicle
that hinders their way
to an urgent situation.
I don't think you fully understand.
That wasn't the case.
There was no urgent situation.
What are you doing?
My vehicle wasn't hindering anything!
What does he mean?
We got a report about some smoke.
KISOO: But when we arrived,
it was just a cockroach repellent.
I don't care about your laws.
Just compensate for the damages done.
Sir, one minute.
What is it? Are you afraid now? Are you?
-Are you?
-What are you doing?
-Hey.
-Kisoo.
I'm Chief Dokgo Soon of Taewon Fire House.
Let me apologize on his behalf.
I'm sorry, sir.
DOJIN: Hold on.
You parked illegally.
What are you on about?
MAN: Do you see any lines on the street?
Don't bluff because I'm not buying it.
Here. Do you see the yellow line?
What is that?
It means it's firewater.
You know, the fire hydrant.
I guess you don't know.
According to Article 32-6
of the Road Traffic Act,
you can't park any closer
than five meters from the hydrant.
-And if you do?
-Then according to Article 25, Clause 3,
we can get rid of it.
(scoffs)
MAN: This is exactly why
-you civil servants are impossible.
-It's okay.
Darn it.
(somber music)
(sighs)
Jeez. I knew you'd be here.
-Please give us an extra glass.
-WAITRESS: Sure.
How are you here?
What do you mean? I walked.
Here. Take this.
What is this?
I know it was illegal parking on his part.
But he could sue you,
and you may have to compensate him.
Use that money in that case.
Thank you.
Don't thank me.
(sighs)
Dojin.
Don't you think it's unfair?
When I meet people like him
I do. Of course, it's unfair.
I get upset and want to quit.
But, Kisoo, think carefully.
If it's not for me, who would do my job?
And if it's not for you,
who would do your job?
Don't you agree?
I do.

You punk.

OLD WOMAN:
The principal was 30 million won?
She said she only borrowed five million.
(scoffs)
You don't know anything, do you?
She wasn't able to pay the interest
for a very long time,
so the principal amount increased.

PROSECUTOR
PROSECUTOR: A loan increase
is when they add
the overdue interest to the principal,
thus increasing the overall amount.
This is what
heinous loan sharks typically do.
Many have fallen victim to this scheme.
My daughter said they took her seal.
Then these documents
could have been fabricated.
Right.
PROSECUTOR: Oh, dear.
But, ma'am,
as long as there's a seal
on these documents,
there's no way to prove
that they were forged.
LOAN AMOUNT: 30 MILLION WON
INTEREST RATE: 24% PA
LOAN AMOUNT: 5 MILLION WON
INTEREST RATE: 6% PA
There is a way.
If this was fabricated,
there must be a trace.
I know the best place in this country
that analyzes document authentication.
But the trial is just around the corner.
Please buy me some time.
I'll get it done somehow.
We'll try to stall for time
as much as possible.

Please help my daughter rest in peace.
I'll do my utmost best.

She's assessing some authentication.

There are no CCTV cameras around.
It reeks around here.

ANNA: "Looking for a tough worker"?
It's a site where ex-convicts gather
to commit crimes.
Ex-convicts?
(sighs)
What in the world is he up to?
Jindo Dog left a comment on that site.
Can you check?
Dojin, my hands are full right now.
Come on. This is urgent.
It took you only ten minutes
to do this in high school.
(sighs)
Fine, I'll look into it.
And it was five minutes, not ten.
(keyboard clacking)
CHOI: We're done.
Can I go to the toilet first? It's urgent.
I told you to always stay with the group.
Then should I just do it here?
Go.
(thrilling music)
Can we have some of this?
DOHYUNG: A drop of liquid on that,
and it's over. Do you understand?
(suspenseful music)
(music halts)
What is this?
(explosion)
(tense music)
That lunatic.
GWAK: What was that?
Burner.
-HOGAE: Yes?
-Are you coming?
HOGAE: I am.
(toilet flushes)
Let's go.
HOGAE: Why are you in such a rush?
We're sealing off the fourth floor.
Hold on.
Jeez.
You're a bastard, you know?
I can't take this anymore.
I thought our target was just one woman.
This explosion
will blow up the entire building.
-So?
-What do you mean, "so?"
There are 16 of them.
I deserve to get paid for all 16 lives.
He's right. The pay needs to be changed.
CHOI: Hold on.
Can't we just kill one person as planned?
(tense music)
If only one person dies,
they'll carry out an investigation.
But if the entire building blows up,
they'll call for disaster control.
The more victims, the better.
Some blow up an entire plane
to kill off just one target.
I don't care whether you blow up a plane.
Just pay me more, or I'm out.
(sighs)
An experienced one sure is different.
(suspenseful music)
There's no wound.
You're not experienced, are you?
Those aren't the teeth of an ex-convict.
What are you doing?
(whimpering)
These are.
(Choi groans)
What do teeth have to do with ex-convicts?
(groans)
(suspenseful music)
ANNA: I found the one
who uploaded the post.
The IP address looks familiar.
DOJIN: What do you mean?
ANNA: The IP address
is from this building.
Where are you?
I'm at Hankuk National University
for document authentication.
(ominous music)
MR. BAEK:
Anna is doing document authentication
for incriminating a bunch of thugs,
and it can only be done
at Hankuk National University.
That's why she rushed over there.
Those thugs are especially dangerous.
They're part of a huge organization
that lends tens of billions of won
to people and leeches off of them.
They don't hesitate to murder
if things don't go their way.
Darn it.
(siren wailing)
There's no need to go far
if the fire will catch on quickly.
Do you know
what's so great about this building?
It has high water pressure.
(tense music intensifies)
Listen carefully.
This is the most crucial part.
Once we go downstairs and ignite a fire,
the flame will reach this floor
through the stairway.
DOJIN: This feels ominous.
Get out of there, Anna.
(chains clinking)
(Anna panting)
Can you try opening that door?
(doorknob clanking)
I can't open this one, either.
What's going on?
(yells)
(suspenseful music)
(grunting)
(squeaking)
(grunts)
-WOMAN 1: Is no one there?
-MAN: Help us!
-WOMAN 1: We're trapped in here!
-WOMAN 2: Help!
What's going on?
-WOMAN 2: It's locked?
-WOMAN 1: Yes.
-WOMAN 2: What do you mean, locked?
-WOMAN 1: Why?
-Help!
-We're trapped!
-Darn it.
-(squeaking)
(grunts, exhales sharply)
(suspenseful music)
CHOI: Okay.
(panting)
(yells)
(grunts)
(grunts)
(yells)
(banging on door)
If we lose the trial
200 billion won is out the window.
-How's it going?
-DOHYUNG: We're ready to set the fire.
There will be 17 casualties,
including an unwelcome cop.
You can wire the rest of the money
after watching this disaster on the news.
(exhales deeply)
All right.
Here you go, sir.
(sighs)
Attorney Yang, you don't need
to worry about tomorrow's trial.
Preparing documents isn't my forte.
So I did it my way.
(both snicker)
You're making me feel bad
for charging you.
He's pretty good at what he does,
so let's see how this pans out.
DISPATCHER:
Dispatch for medical and rescue teams.
There are people trapped.
Dispatch for medical and rescue teams.
There are people trapped.
-Why
-(thumping)
-The others are trapped too.
-(thumping continues)
The internet is down, too.
I think the Wi-Fi is disconnected.
NEW NETWORK: REPORT EXPLOSIVES.
CALL 119. NOT CONNECTED
HOGAE: Report explosives. Call 119.
"Explosives"?
ANNA: Who is this?
HOGAE: This is Detective Jin Hogae
with Taewon police.
The mud in the hallway explodes
when it meets water.
Sodium metal?
(gasps)
ANNA: This is Bong Anna.
That's sodium metal.
(exhales heavily)
DOHYUNG: Once we go downstairs
and ignite a fire,
the flame will reach this floor
through the stairway.
HOGAE: Anna, they drenched a trailer rope
with kerosene and uncoiled it
until the first floor.
Once they light it, the sprinklers
will turn on, and everything will explode.
ANNA: If the trailer rope is long enough
to reach the fourth floor,
that means it's three meters per floor
and 29m from front to back.
The burning velocity may differ depending
on the amount of moisture on the rope.
Let's say the indoor air velocity is
approximately 0.15 m per second.
If we were to calculate
the amount of time it took for the flame
to reach the fourth floor
and set off the sprinklers,
it's less than five minutes
from the ignition to the explosion.
If all the sprinklers in the hallway
are set off one by one
-(explosion)
-the damage will be immense.
We're running out of time.
(suspenseful music)
Anna, get rid of the sodium metal first.
Is no one outside?
The stairway to the other floors
is all blocked.
And we're all trapped in our labs here.
ANNA: Detective Jin is trapped
in the computer room.
I see. What about the windows?
Can you get out through them?
-ANNA: Dojin.
-WOMAN: Help!
This is the biochemistry laboratory,
so the windows are locked.
(siren wailing)
I'll be there soon. Hang in there.
DISPATCHER: There are explosive substances
on the fourth floor
of Hankuk National University's
lab building.
There are about 20 civilians inside.
The windows and stairway are sealed off.
What do we do?
-Darn it.
-(siren wails in distance)
Not bad.
This laboratory
is Biosafety Level Three Plus, right?
-Correct.
-Here you go.
I'm sure there's an airlock system
in case of a biochemical leak.
There's one near the stairway.
What's your plan?
(suspenseful music)
ANNA: The flame will come
through the stairway,
so we just need to block the oxygen.
There are no sprinklers in the stairway,
and the flame will die with no oxygen.
But everyone in the air conditioning room
has gone home.
I'll hack the system.
(siren wailing)
(suspenseful music)
DOHYUNG: You guys get lost.
I'll wrap up here.
(siren wailing)
-Let's spread out.
-I'll check the entrance.
RESEARCH & LAB BUILDING
Darn it.
(music halts)
PIL: The trailer rope?
(foreboding music)
ANNA: All industrial control systems
have their security loopholes.
I need to extract the files
from the Building Management System
that controls individual systems,
neutralize them
from automatically responding,
and identify the administrative password
for the specific files.
Then I can access the airlock system.
I'm in the Control Panel.
SOON: Taewon's firefighters
are entering the campus right now.
HANKUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
ANNA: The password combination.
This is the last step.
(trilling)
(clanks)
Airlock system activated.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
I closed the airlock.
Come on. Excuse me.
(thrilling music)
(all sigh in relief)
It's done.
WOMAN: It's over.
We're safe.
(sirens wailing)
There's a ventilator on the fourth floor.
Use the ladder truck.
There are explosives
up on the fourth floor.
Split into groups and open each floor.
The rest of you will retrieve the rope
and evacuate the civilians.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am. Run!
Judging by the traces of the ignition,
the suspects may still be around.
Search the premises.
They can't have gone far.
-Yes, sir. Let's go!
-Go!
By the way,
why is Jindo Dog trapped there?
It's a long story.
(clanking)
(action music)
SEOL: Lift it toward the ventilator
of the server room on the fourth floor.
FIREMAN 1: Let's go.
-FIREMAN 2: Okay.
-FIREMAN 3: Hold it here!
(metal clanking)
Hi.
(groaning)
We're going down now. Watch out.
Detective Jin has been rescued.
SEOL: Got it. We're going to move in now,
so pull out the ladder truck.
Let me see your hands.
(groans)
Saline.
Hold this down so it won't get infected.
-FIREMAN 4: Let's hurry!
-FIREMAN 5: Let's go!
A little hiccup.
(suspenseful music)
(clangs)
(chains clinking)
-Follow me.
-Yes, sir.
Team One has entered the building.
Please deactivate the airlock system.
(clanks)
Jihoon, go to the third floor.
Yes, sir.
I've entered the first floor.
JIHOON: I'll enter the third floor.
It's open!
The third floor is open!
Please follow the firefighters.
Six rescued from the first floor.
This way.
Three rescued from the third floor.
Are you all okay? This way.
(suspenseful music)
The power cutter.
This will be at full throttle,
so step back!
KISOO: Yes, sir!
-Kisoo!
-KISOO: Yes, sir!
-Bring me the spreader!
-KISOO: Yes, sir!
We need another spreader.
-Go.
-FIREMAN 6: Yes, ma'am.
-This way.
-Are you okay?
(sighs)
DOHYUNG: What are you looking at?
He had something around his neck.
What was it?
It was a remote control with a button
in the center. The name was
Mos Maste Masco
Masteca?
Yes, that.
They manufacture sprinklers.
They recently contacted us
about a remote control they invented.
A remote control. Sprinklers.
I need to go to the HQ.
Push!
Where's the spreader?
SEOL: It means if the sprinklers
are activated remotely,
it can explode anytime.
MR. BAEK: This means the firefighters
in operation are in danger as well.
Detective Jin, are you sure
about what you saw?
I'm positive.
(panting)
We've rescued a total of nine civilians
from the first to third floors.
There are seven left
in two labs on the fourth floor.
The fourth floor
is the hardest to break into,
so it's taking some time.
-Grab it, Kisoo.
-Okay.
One, two, three.
-DOJIN: One, two, three.
-(thuds)
Dojin, how's it going on the fourth floor?
(panting)
We just broke one lock.

What? She wants us to pull out?
What does she mean?
Chief, what do you mean?
The door is still locked.
Don't ask why,
and just hurry out of there!
What's going on?
(panting)
KISOO: Pull out!
Pull out.
Pull out right now!
What about you?
Let me finish this.
Go down first!
-What are you doing?
-Two is better than one.
One, two, three!
One, two, three!

MR. BAEK: Where in the world did he go?
He just borrowed my phone.
MR. BAEK: What?

I told you to pull out.
We're almost done!
We'll pull out with the civilians!
SOON: Dojin!
You punk.
It was a remote control with a button

I poured liquid nitrogen

PROSECUTOR
WITNESS
DEFENDAN
Your Honor, I request that you allow me
to summon this crucial witness
who will shed some light on the truth.
Request granted.
Those are 298 loan increase forms
regarding the overdue interest
written by Daemoo Group.
When someone who borrowed
ten million won fails to pay on time,
the overdue interest
is added to the principal for a reloan.
In a matter of months, the overall amount
changes from 10 million to 100 million.
Objection, Your Honor.
A loan increase is not illegal.
And you can't raise an issue
over these legal documents.
But I found something odd last night.
Continue.
Please take a look
at the loan increase form.
It was written on August 17, 2019.
I analyzed the production year
of the paper
by carrying out spectroscopy.
And shockingly, it turned out
that the paper was produced in 2021.
(upbeat music)
(crowd murmuring)
(chuckles)
(sighs)
(sighs)
"Sung Yubi."
What should the date be?
The interest should be overdue
for about two years
for this to be worth it.
August 17, 2019.
ANNA: You must not have known
that the A4 paper ingredients
differ every year.
TAEWON POLICE STATION
You're not going to claim
that you took the paper from 2021,
two years into the past, are you?

What's the best recovery dish?
Some hot braised cheese chicken.

This is tasty.
Are you really related?
You don't look alike.
I wasn't going to tell you about us.
Hey, I wasn't going to, either.
Shouldn't you thank me
for saving your sister?
You're the one who sent that SOS.
ANNA: You saved me?
I'm the one who activated the airlock
and put out the trailer.
Don't forget who bought this food.
Are you serious?
This part is hot while this part is cold.
You didn't even know
where the water meter was.
(scoffs)
Just say we cooperated on a mission,
and drop it.
I should get going.
SEOL: Where to?
I'm on night duty today.
You should take the night off.
You may not have any fractures,
but you'll still feel sore.
My absence will only burden
the others. I should go.
-I'm leaving.
-I'll come with you.
-SEOL: We're going.
-Okay.

Shouldn't you go, too?

MAN: No!
No!
-No
-DOJIN: That's when I promised
to be the first one in
and the last one out.
Right.
Dojin, I feel the same way.
That's why I ordered everyone to pull out.
You're not the only one who feels guilty
for making it out alive.
Thank you for coming back safe and sound.
I'm not worried about you,
but do take care of Kisoo.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry.
I hope you No, I hope that we can work
as firefighters for a long time.
Bong Dojin. Bulldozer.
Okay?
Yes, ma'am.

MAN: Hey, where are the firefighters?
Where's the one
who committed a hit-and-run?
Come on out!
You destroyed my car,
and the repair costs 980,000 won.
So I'm about to report you
for a hit-and-run incident.
A hit-and-run? What do you mean?
Well, see for yourself.
I got it all on my dashcam.
What? Kisoo.
Right. That smoke report.
DOJIN: Kisoo, I think it's that house.
-It's spreading quite fast, right?
-KISOO: I think so.
This won't do. I'll just go.
This is obviously a hit-and-run.
SOON: According to Article 25
of the Fire Services Act,
firefighters are allowed
to remove any vehicle
that hinders their way
to an urgent situation.
I don't think you fully understand.
That wasn't the case.
There was no urgent situation.
What are you doing?
My vehicle wasn't hindering anything!
What does he mean?
We got a report about some smoke.
KISOO: But when we arrived,
it was just a cockroach repellent.
I don't care about your laws.
Just compensate for the damages done.
Sir, one minute.
What is it? Are you afraid now? Are you?
-Are you?
-What are you doing?
-Hey.
-Kisoo.
I'm Chief Dokgo Soon of Taewon Fire House.
Let me apologize on his behalf.
I'm sorry, sir.
DOJIN: Hold on.
You parked illegally.
What are you on about?
MAN: Do you see any lines on the street?
Don't bluff because I'm not buying it.
Here. Do you see the yellow line?
What is that?
It means it's firewater.
You know, the fire hydrant.
I guess you don't know.
According to Article 32-6
of the Road Traffic Act,
you can't park any closer
than five meters from the hydrant.
-And if you do?
-Then according to Article 25, Clause 3,
we can get rid of it.
(scoffs)
MAN: This is exactly why
-you civil servants are impossible.
-It's okay.
Darn it.

Jeez. I knew you'd be here.
-Please give us an extra glass.
-WAITRESS: Sure.
How are you here?
What do you mean? I walked.
Here. Take this.
What is this?
I know it was illegal parking on his part.
But he could sue you,
and you may have to compensate him.
Use that money in that case.
Thank you.
Don't thank me.
(sighs)
Dojin.
Don't you think it's unfair?
When I meet people like him
I do. Of course, it's unfair.
I get upset and want to quit.
But, Kisoo, think carefully.
If it's not for me, who would do my job?
And if it's not for you,
who would do your job?
Don't you agree?
I do.
