Jirisan (2021) s01e09 Episode Script

[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.]
[Main station, control room.]
[Wildfire at the pine tree habitat
under Dalgwi Forest.]
[We must stop the fire from
spreading to the town.]
We will create
the primary fire lines here!
My children are in there!
-It's dangerous. Step aside!
-My children!
Go ahead!
Ask people in the town for help!
Please rescue my children.
Wait.
Are you sure that's the location?
We'll go up.
I'm ten minutes away from the Gap Cave
in Saemteo. I'll go check first!
[Let's hurry. We don't have much time.]
Let's go!
[We found Lee Se-wook's body.]
[These are the incidents
you've been seeing.]
[Murders disguised as accidents.]
[That was the case with the poison
in yogurt drinks and potato bombs.]
[Someone trapped us in there
and set fire on purpose.]
[You mean Se-wook killed
all these people?]
[Se-wook wasn't alone.]
[I think Se-wook]
had an accomplice.
So, one of them
could be the criminal, right?
You scared me.
What are you doing here?
[Lee Da-won]
[Messages]
[Lee Da-won]
[Da-won, are you still on the mountain?]
[Call me when you see this.]
Da-won?
Is that you?
[Restricted]
[Ranger]
What are you doing here?
-Are you coming from the mountain?
-Yes.
-Have you seen Da-won?
-Lee Da-won?
Did she go up? It's her day off.
She went up because I asked her a favor,
but she's not picking up her phone.
You know the signal's weak
on restricted trails.
No, something's strange.
She's never taken this long.
Da-won! Lee Da-won!
Da-won!
Da-won!
-Check that side!
-Okay!
Da-won!
Da-won!
Lee Da-won!
[Haedong One.]
To all rangers.
Lee Da-won's cell phone signal
was last detected
from the repeater in Seongnae Stream,
Jeonmukgol.
It's been 18 hours
since the signal got cut off.
No call records since then, and no sight
of her at the residence either.
She'll most likely be
around Dure Forest in Jeonmukgol.
Search that area carefully.
She's new but still a ranger.
She must have left a sign.
[16, Friday, Day-off: Jo Dae-jin
17, Saturday, Day-off: Jo Dae-jin]
[Integrated Disaster and Safety Operation]
Nothing from the commander yet?
No. His phone's been off.
How did it go?
We checked her credit card statements,
but no transaction since yesterday.
We've also checked the security cameras
around the restricted trails,
but no sight of her anywhere.
I think she's still up on the mountain
like Yi-gang said.
[Jangteomok One.]
[We searched up to Ganseok Rock northwest
of Dure Forest, but we couldn't find her.]
[Haedong Two.]
We searched to the hurricane lily habitat.
She's not here, either.
[Ganseok Rock, Dure Forest, Jeonmukgol]
Hurricane lily habitat.
There's a dead tree southeast of
Hurricane lily habitat in Jeonmukgol.
We must check under that tree.
Are you going on about that again?
That signal only you and Hyun-jo know?
Yes.
Is that the favor you asked Da-won?
Did she go missing trying to find that?
That's such nonsense.
You saw it happen.
We could find missing hikers that hundreds
of people couldn't find for months
because of this signal.
Da-won went missing because of me.
Please.
Check the dead tree southeast
of the hurricane lily habitat.
I beg you.
Why did they tell us to come here?
Hang on.
Look at this.
What's this?
Is this some prank?
I have no idea what we're doing.
[Hurricane Lily Habitat]
[Haebawi Rock]
3km point from Hurricane Lily Habitat.
It's near the pebbly road at Haebawi Rock
Move to the pebbly road.
Da-won!
Lee Da-won!
Da-won!
Lee Da-won!
[Haedong Two, arriving at Haebawi Rock,
pebbly road.]
Da-won!
What's that?
What?
How did it go? Did you find anything?
[What color is Da-won's phone?]
[We found a pink cell phone.]
It says "LDW" on the back of the phone.
It's covered in blood.
[Is this hers?]
Yes, that's Da-won's.
Ranger Station control room.
Da-won's phone was found
near Haebawi in Jeonmukgol.
She must be around there.
Search this area carefully, okay?
Move!
Not yet?
[Byway Entry Forbidden]
Thank you.
Let's get back.
Lee Da-won!
Da-won!
Da-won!
-Look carefully.
-Okay!
Over there.
Lee Da-won!
[Finished searching the pebbly road
in Jeonmukgol.]
[No sign of the missing.]
[Now searching Yeochi Forest.]
[Finished searching Gogae Rock.
No sign of the missing.]
Let's expand the search area
to the rocky ridge and the pebbly rocks.
Not the rocky ridge.
That path is a dangerous detour,
so I told her not to go that way.
When you're stranded,
you panic and do irrational things.
You know better.
-Have you found her yet?
-Not yet.
But What about Dae-jin?
So this was recorded on Da-won's phone?
It was saved on her recording app.
[You scared me.]
[What are you doing here?]
[What about you?]
[Oh, and]
-Isn't it your day off?
-Oh
I was doing some training.
To get myself familiar with routes.
Then, let's go down together.
I'll show you the shortcut.
No. I'll go by myself.
It's quite dangerous.
And it's easy to get lost here, too.
I'm really fine.
I'm really okay.
-I should get going.
-Okay.
Be careful.
So Da-won met the commander?
I'll call him.
Why did Da-won record this conversation?
What?
She sounded terrified.
What are you talking about?
Do you mean to say
The commander did something to Da-won?
[Jo Dae-jin: Base Patrol, Baektogol]
From yesterday's log, the commander's
supposed to go on base work.
But Jeonmukgol isn't his base.
That's enough.
What's going on here?
Did something happen?
Lee Da-won?
[Haedong Two!
Found the missing at the rocky ridge!]
How's Da-won? Is she all right?
What's going on?
Well
Da-won
Lee Da-won.
The missing
[has no vital signs.]
[Presumed dead.]
[I repeat.]
[The missing found at the
rocky ridge in Jeonmukgol.]
[No vital signs.]
[Presumed dead. Over.]
[Lee Da-won]
[Ambulance]
[Ambulance]
[Lee Da-won]
[Emergency Services,
Ambulance]
She's presumed to have fallen
from the rocky ridge.
Please spare some time.
We have a couple of things to ask
Okay.
If it's because of the recording,
do it later.
Now's not the time.
It's not just that.
The deceased
was holding this.
[Jo Dae-jin]
It won't take long. Please come with us.
Did you really do this?
Did you do that to Da-won?
Why did you do it?
Did you do that to everyone else?
And Hyun-jo, too?
You also harmed Hyun-jo?
Why did you do that? Why?
You're the one who sent
Da-won up to the mountain!
So stop.
Don't treat the commander like that.
Let's go.
Let me go. Please.
That day
When you and Hyun-jo had that accident
Why did you go to Black Bridge Valley?
The area is hard enough to
climb without the snow.
So why did you two go there?
What happened between you and Hyun-jo?
What were you doing with Da-won?
Why do you suspect the commander?
Why did you return to the mountain?
I
I don't have any answers.
But I'm sure of one thing.
Ever since you came back,
everything's a mess.
You shouldn't have come back.
[Lee Da-won]
[Organize automated cameras
document report till next week!]
[Get mom's birthday present]
[You don't know me yet, right?]
[I do. Lee Da-won.]
You knew! You're like my role model.
Can you make this mark there?
All right!
Our job is to come back
safely from a dangerous place.
So don't get hurt and come back safe.
Okay!
I'll be right back! Wait for me.
I
I have something to tell you.
Can you come back later?
I'm a bit
He said it wasn't him this time.
What do you mean?
Can you really see me?
Do you hear my voice?
Yes, I've been seeing you.
Not just me.
Everyone who's seen you has died.
Please let me go.
I'll never come back.
Do me a favor.
Tell Yi-gang at Haedong Ranger Station
that I didn't leave the mark this time.
Do you understand?
He said
he didn't leave the mark this time?
That's what the ghost said.
I thought I'd die if I don't
relay the message.
My job's done now.
Wait!
[It's me.]
[You found the mark
under the dead tree, right?]
Yes.
There should have been a sensor
camera in front of it. Did you bring it?
[What? There wasn't such a thing.]
Are you sure?
Da-won would have installed it.
What about the rucksack?
Have you checked her rucksack?
There should've been a notepad.
[Well, Yi-gang]
[I took all of her belongings
to the police.]
[Then, bye.]
-A ranger's notepad?
-Yes.
With Da-won's name on it.
She always carried it with her
to the mountains.
[I took all her belongings
to the main department,]
[but there was no notepad.]
Not in her rucksack or pockets.
[Lee Da-won,
Haedong Ranger Station]
[Mujin-dong, Saemagol]
[Pine Tree Habitat, Mujin-dong]
[Saemagol: Geombawi Forest.
A dead oak tree struck by lightning.]
[Mujin-dong: Pine Tree Habitat.
Under the northwest Beak Rock]
[If it wasn't Hyun-jo]
[Who left the mark and why?]
[Lee Da-won]
Be careful, everyone.
[I need to see Hyun-jo.]
[The one that I trusted the most]
[My colleague who cherished
the mountain with all his heart.]
[I must see him.]
[Hyun-jo]
[Are you there?]
[Answer me if you're up there.]
[Tell me what you saw and what you know.]
[Year 2019]
I feel better now, thanks to you.
I won't need an ambulance. Thanks.
I thought you were too sick to walk?
Yes, but I'm all better now.
Or maybe you faked it this whole time.
What?
What do you take me for?
That's what I want to ask you.
Do you think we're a cab?
You went up there by yourself.
You should be able to come down, too.
Do you know
where your paycheck comes from?
It's all tax money from citizens like me.
So don't even get started.
I'll let you off today since I'm busy.
-Seriously!
-Calm down.
It's a good thing
that he's not actually sick.
How can you say that?
Well
Let's just say
I had a tough training session.
Let me see.
-Goodness
-That hurts.
So I told you not to carry him.
You brought this onto yourself.
That hurts!
It's fine
[Seo Yi-gang. Where are you?]
[There's been an SOS report
1km from Oerae Valley.]
We've already mobilized twice today.
Isn't there any other team?
[All other teams are on their way.
Plus, we have quite a number of day-offs.]
[The victim sprained his leg badly.]
All right. We'll mobilize.
- What are you doing?
- What? About mobilizing?
Or about helping you up?
If that's not it,
this?
You touched my leg so we're equal now.
Let's go!
I shouldn't be so nice to him.
Hey! Give me my rucksack!
Gu-yeong.
When it's uphill,
it's better to walk
on the balls of your feet.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Should we have a water break?
You're sweating a lot.
Your shoelaces need to be tighter, too.
I think we did enough for today.
Should we call it a day?
You said you'd help me train.
This is too easy.
Didn't you say you know
a cool place up there?
Let's go there.
-Just up to there.
-Okay.
Which way?
-Gu-yeong!
-Straight this way.
-Here?
-Yes.
-How much water did you drink?
-Not much, but
-I want to pee.
-You want to pee?
-Oh, I'm worn out.
-We're almost there.
-You good?
-Yes.
Not many people know about this place.
It's slippery here.
Isn't this great?
The view's breathtaking.
If you come up here in the evening,
the sun's right over there.
And the moon from that side,
hung on the horizon.
It's beautiful.
Wow
It's my first time
coming all the way up to the ridge.
I feel
I feel like a real ranger now.
Why do you say that?
It's always bothered me.
I can't climb the mountain,
I only cause inconvenience.
No.
We can mobilize safely
all thanks to your great work
in the office.
Take me to your training more often.
I want to see many other places.
Of course. Let's visit all of them.
Okay.
And I'll teach you
about the rope thrower later.
You can try rope climbing, too.
I don't think I can.
Why not? You're a ranger.
-Right, I'm a ranger.
-Of course.
I brought some snacks.
Do you want them now?
Sure!
My mom's coming for this
Mountain Spirit Ritual.
She said she wants to meet up with you.
Is that okay?
Of course it's okay.
-Let me get some water.
-Okay.
Here, drink some water.
[Gisan Clinic]

Haedong Ranger Station]
[May Monthly Schedule]
[Mountain Spirit Ritual]
[Promotion Exam]
[May, Week 4 Night Duty and Day Off]
[Jo Dae-jin, Night Duty, Day Off]
Yes. Oh, right
The banner for the promotion booth
isn't here yet.
Okay. Call me when it's ready.
Stuffed moon bears,
pin buttons, face paint
I brought them all.
Haedong Ranger Station.
Promotion booklet?
What's wrong?
All right. I'll talk to the commander.
Okay.
Have our ancestors
really been doing this ritual
for thousands of years?
It'll get crazy busy
for the next few days.
Lots of people will come to watch the band
and folk wrestling and many more
We're trying so hard,
but the mountain spirit is merciless.
We could use fewer accidents.
Mountain spirit's
not the only one up there.
Grandma told me a long time ago,
that the evil spirit comes
before the mountain spirit.
Back then I thought it was all nonsense,
but seeing you, I think it could be true.
Crappy weather.
I hate school.
What you see here
are terraced rice fields,
which are made by cutting mountain slopes,
and can still be found in various areas
of Mount Jirisan.
Ouch.
What was that for?
If this hurts, imagine how much
a broken stem would hurt.
Your name.
I'm taking your points away.
This is so annoying. You're just a guide.
What a rude punk.
-Give me your name.
-What is this?
What?
You used to be the chief,
but now you're being treated
with disrespect.
Do you still want this job?
That's a prejudice.
All jobs are respectable.
I heard you've been appointed
as the chairman
of the Preservation Committee.
I can't just sit back and watch.
Things are a total disaster.
The new Chief Park is nice
but way too nice.
What is it?
What's troubling you now
and made you come here?
When do you think
I can quit this job?
Is it because your daughter came back?
You're trying to reconnect
with your daughter again?
This job, you can't take it
just because you want it
or quit any time you want to.
It involves saving people's lives.
Yes.
Saving people's lives is our job.
But I'm seeing
more dead people than live ones.
Stop whining.
Go patrol some more
if you have time to complain.
If that's what you're here for,
I'm leaving.
Do you remember him?
[Yang Geun-tak, President of Mount Jirisan
Cable Car Promotion Committee]
That's right.
He came back to the mountain.
The mountain spirit will be infuriated
once again.
[Petition for Cable Car Installation
between Jingye-ri and Deokseoryeong]
[Petition for Cable Car Installation
between Jingye-ri and Deokseoryeong]
[Pros of having cable cars]
Please vote.
Will this be okay?
Of course, it's Mount Jirisan.
[Petition for Jirisan
Cable Car Installation]
If we put the cable car straight this way,
we'll minimize the damage on the mountain.
Hi, please give it a look.
Hi, here's one for you.
Cable cars on Mount Jirisan?
Please have some tea before you go up.
-Cable cars?
-Yes.
If we only have the cable cars installed,
we can reach the top of Mount Jirisan
in ten minutes.
No more unnecessary accidents from hiking.
But the mountain
will be brutally destroyed.
Here. Please come inside.
Are you determined to ruin this mountain?
Why do you keep doing this?
Ruin it? Mount Jirisan is where I grew up.
This is all for the mountain.
When the construction begins,
the whole ecology will be destroyed.
Is that for the mountain?
Installing cable cars and blocking
the trails is better for the environment.
And not just for the mountain.
Nearby residents will benefit from it.
Black Bridge Village.
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten
all that's happened there?
I'll never let that happen again.
I will make it stop.
[Petition for Jirisan
Cable Car Installation]
It's for real this time.
Cable cars are coming in.
That's even worse.
They should choose Haedong Village.
We're bigger and better known
than Jingye-ri.
-Yes.
-You're right.
Let's go talk to the president tomorrow.
Yes. President Yang knows us.
-Yes!
-Let's do that.
Have they already forgotten
the mess from before?
Wish they'd stop being so greedy.
The ritual has begun.
Hello!
Please help!
I've been feeling sick.
Is your phone working?
Mine has no signal.
Why would mine work if yours doesn't?
I'm sorry, but can you please help me?
I'd appreciate it if you could take me
to the ridge up there.
Do you think I have nothing better to do?
I'm busy.
Then,
could you let the rangers know
that I'm here?
Gosh, lady.
You want me to take myself in
for illegal hiking?
I'll get kicked out of here
if I tell the rangers.
I'll make a report on my way down,
once I'm done with my business.
Don't be so harsh on another hiker.
Why are you even here if you can't climb?
I just don't understand.
How on earth
Jeong Gu-yeong!
What's this?
I thought you took a day off to
mow your ancestor's grave.
What are you doing here?
Is this your ancestor's grave?
Well Something came up.
What thing makes you take a day off
every other day?
Someone has to do your job for you.
Cut it out.
You always do this when it's the busiest.
Yi-gang, I think that's enough.
You, too?
Weren't you going to your parent's house
in Gangwondo?
Am I not allowed to get some rest?
Maybe you should take a break, too.
What in the
Hey! Is our job a joke to you?
Why don't you just quit?
I'm sure he has a reason.
Gosh.
[Gamnamu Restaurant]
Goodness.
Why do you never answer your phone?
-Come sit down.
-What's all this?
Haven't you heard?
The mountain spirit flag fell.
What?
It's quite a bad omen.
Something bad will happen on the mountain.
The evil will show up.
That nonsense again?
And remember.
Don't ever go north.
Why?
Tomorrow and the day after are
the 17th and 18th on the lunar calendar.
The evil spirit loves 7 and 8.
It'll come to the north.
You know what I mean?
A ghost!
So don't ever go north
to Deokseoryeong,
Especially not
the Black Bridge Valley area.
You got that?
Oh, whatever.
[Have you seen this?
It's about Mount Jirisan.]
[Seung-ah]
Hello folks, Tae-ju here,
and I'm back again,
exploring the haunted places in Korea.
All right.
Over there
is the famous Cheonwangbong Peak.
So?
Can you guess where I am?
Today's place I'm going to show you all
is Mount Jirisan.
On Mount Jirisan,
There are restricted trails
where people aren't allowed to enter.
In the deep, rough mountain pass
of Deokseoryeong,
a ghost village that suddenly disappeared
30 years ago is hidden.
I'm on my way to the village.
Now
I'll show you all.
[These totem poles
used to protect the village.]
[See?]
They look like they've been deserted
for a long time.
This village is called
Black Bridge Village.
It was maintained until 1991,
well after Mount Jirisan
became a national park.
Apparently, there were about
15 families living there at the time.
But
Why did the people
of this village all disappear?
I'll dive right
into that unanswered question.
Wow.
All right.
Where could all the villagers have gone?
There are many rumors.
That they've been forced to move out by
National Park Service to restore nature,
or that they all moved to the foot
of the mountain for a better living.
But one thing stood out.
Right before the village disappeared,
Suddenly
People started dying.
[Three people died
from such a small village.]
Was this a coincidence?
Did you guys hear that?
What was that?
Something moved.
What the?
[Jirisan]
[There must be something
at Black Bridge Valley.]
Didn't Yi-gang and Hyun-jo
go there earlier?
She can't go there today.
[We're back to where we started.]
[You'll regret this.]
[Haedong Ranger Station, Control Room.
Seo Yi-gang, where are you?]
They'll be all right. It's Yi-gang.
[Black Bridge Valley is different.]
-What's that?
-Run!
[You can't escape the mountain
even if you want to.]
[He'll do something else to us.]
[I'm not confident.]
[We can't find our way out.]
