[The show is an adapted fiction based on stories of National Park Rangers.]
[All characters, events, regions,]
[organizations depicted in the show are fictitious.]
[The Black Bridge Valley area. Don't ever go north.]
[Black Bridge Village.]
Have you forgotten all that's happened there?
This place is perfect for cable cars.
We have no intention of moving out. Get out of here.
You'll regret this.
It's him! The cable car man.
He messed with the well to kick us out from here!
[Most villagers have left.]
I'm not leaving!
[It's all because of him.]
[If he hadn't ruined the well...]
The deceased was holding this.
Did you really do this?
Did you do that to everyone else?
Tell Yi-gang at Haedong Ranger Station
that I didn't leave the mark this time.
He said he didn't leave the mark this time?
[If it wasn't Hyun-jo,]
[Who and why would they leave a mark?]
[Episode 11]
[Yi-gang!]
[Can you hear me?]
[Yi-gang!]
[Can you hear me?]
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
What have you been doing here?
[No Entry]
Why did you try to go up there in such a state?
I heard the commander got arrested.
I also heard that a cell phone and gloves were found.
How were they found?
-Thanks. -No worries.
You know...
[Haedong Ranger Station, Entrance]
Anyone can take the gloves if they want to.
Don't people wash the gloves at the ranger station with other uniforms?
If one is a national park ranger, taking some gloves would be easy.
I'm just saying.
See you, then.
[Damsung Police Station]
The investigation is still ongoing,
but he's denying all charges.
[Meeting Room]
Detectives are looking into relevant facts.
But I think he'll be released soon.
[Meeting Room]
I came to ask you something.
On the day that Da-won died...
Why did you go to Jeonmukgol?
Do you still
suspect me for this?
I only...
want to know what happened on that day.
I don't know
what happened to her either.
If I'd brought her down with me on that day,
she would probably still be alive.
That's all I can think of.
I saw blood-stained yellow ribbons.
Why were they in your desk drawer?
The ribbons that mislead hikers...
The poisoned yogurts...
You knew about them.
Is that why you're back?
How did you know that?
Time's almost up.
Go see Il-hae.
I told him everything I know.
Hello?
[Sekyung Central Hospital]
[Intensive Care Unit]
He's been able to breathe by himself
even though he was unconscious,
but since the seizure, he's unable to do that.
If this state continues,
he might be declared brain dead.
His family knows about the situation.
I think they'll make a decision soon.
Before that...
If the time comes to let Hyun-jo go...
Please let me know in advance. Please.
We will.
[You must be unable to leave the mountain]
[because of your desire to catch the murderer.]
[So what if...]
[What if I catch the murderer...]
[Will you be able to wake up?]
[This mountain listens to people's prayers,]
[Perhaps it'll hear my prayer]
[of wanting to save you.]
[Another death on Mount Jirisan has been reported.]
[The police have found signs of homicide on this case,]
[and they're investigating the main suspect.]
We need to talk.
Whatever it's about, let's talk later.
We must talk now.
It's important.
Didn't you run off to the headquarters complaining about your leg?
Did you come with Yi-gang?
You suspect the commander, too?
No.
Not the commander.
You asked why I came back.
Someone's been killing people on the mountains, disguised as accidents.
I came to find out who that is.
What are you talking about?
The commander was thinking the same thing as Yi-gang.
That someone's been killing people on the mountain.
[Mount Jirisan National Park Missing Person Search Report]
[Name of victim: Yang Geun-tak]
He got lost in Yiseokjae,
but his body was found somewhere else, near Gaeam Falls.
That's right.
The commander found it fishy
and looked around the area where the victim was found.
[Then he found strange ribbons near the valley above Gaeam Falls.]
[Ribbons?]
What ribbons?
Like the ones illegal hikers use?
Yes.
Not just there.
[Name of victim: Choi Gi-yeong]
This missing case was from this February, in Oerae Valley.
This person was also found near Bongjaeam Rock,
far away from where he got lost.
The commander patrolled the area just in case,
[and found another set of ribbons.]
[Above Gaeam Falls and Bongjaeam Rock are so dangerous]
that illegal hikers rarely go there.
But why were the ribbons there?
Someone led them there to get lost.
[The path in the opposite direction from the peak.]
[The criminal led them to the rough mountain path]
[where hikers can easily get lost.]
But...
it's not just the ribbons.
Please give this to Seo Yi-gang.
You don't have to do this. We're only doing our job.
But thank you.
Goodness. She saved my life.
Hwang told me that someone left a yogurt drink in Jeonmukgol, too.
Excuse me?
I mean, he didn't go to collect herbs or anything...
A yogurt?
Remember? I also drank one and almost died before.
The commander went to Jeonmukgol that day to look for this.
He came to see me with it,
asking for an ingredient check at the headquarters.
So what happened? Did you get the result?
It's too old and spoiled to identify the ingredients.
Hang on.
Then it's only the commander's guess.
Right?
It could've been a coincidence.
The ribbons could have blown away.
The yogurt could have gone bad.
Hyun-jo knew about this.
What do you mean?
Hyun-jo knew who the murderer was.
And who would that be?
You asked
why we went up the snowy mountain.
[Year 2019]
[Kang Hyun-jo]
Hyun-jo, where are you right now?
Kang Hyun-jo!
[CCTV In Operation]
[Even on that day,]
[Hyun-jo was chasing the criminal alone.]
Are you all right?
Yi-gang...
Maybe it's the heavy snow,
but there's no radio signal.
I'll go check if my phone signal works anywhere.
Please wait here for a moment.
On top of the cornice...
Someone left a pole on purpose.
Hyun-jo, you know...
Hang in there.
I’ll be right back.
[He went out to report,]
and never came back.
Right, I heard that he called the station that morning.
Haedong Ranger Station.
[Black Bridge...]
[Yi-gang's hurt.]
Hello? Hyun-jo?
I can't hear you. Where are you?
[Black Bridge Valley!]
[Quick!]
Seo Yi-gang!
Hyun-jo.
Kang Hyun-jo!
Seo Yi-gang.
-Kang Hyun-jo! -Yi-gang!
-Is that Hyun-jo? -Hyun-jo!
Hyun-jo!
Hyun-jo.
He has no pulse!
No pulse, sir.
That wasn't just an accident.
We weren't the only ones up on the mountain that day.
Seo Yi-gang!
You mean someone tried to kill you two?
Who's that? Did you tell the police?
You're saying,
there was someone else at the site besides you and Hyun-jo?
Yes. Someone left a pole on a snow cornice.
-That person led us to get into this. -I'm not asking about that.
Did that person threaten you in any way?
No...
But he had blood on his clothes.
I'm sure Hyun-jo got hurt because of him, too.
Did you witness Mr. Kang Hyun-jo get hurt?
No one believed me.
But, someone was surely there.
Though I couldn't see the face...
We must find the person.
That way, we can clear the commander's name.
How can we? We don't know who it was.
There is a way.
What's that?
Black Bridge Valley.
Hyun-jo went there before the accident.
There must be evidence there.
What evidence?
I'm not sure yet.
But we'll find out when we get there.
Please take me there.
I can't do this alone.
Please. Help me.
[No Entry]
-One, two, three! -Let's go.
I said we can go by ourselves.
How will you get there without assistance?
[4 hours ago]
[Honam Express]
[No Smoking Building]
Jeong Gu-yeong?
No way. Why would he?
It has to be one of the park rangers.
The murderer was wearing our uniform.
Gu-yeong was on the mountain when Da-won got lost.
He could've easily got the commander's gloves.
So? What are we going to do?
Take Gu-yeong in?
No. The police won't believe us.
We must take him ourselves.
Once he finds out I have crucial evidence.
he'll try to kill me.
-Let's get the proof then. -No.
No way.
You could get into danger.
Be careful.
There.
-Are you okay? -Yes.
By the way...
Why did you go to the mountain that day?
The day Da-won went missing.
Why did you go there?
Da-won?
Is that you?
[No Entry]
I had things to do.
Let's get going.
[One thing I couldn't tell you guys about...]
[Hyun-jo.]
[If I end up dying,]
[maybe I can meet Hyun-jo.]
[If I see him,]
[maybe I could tell him what I couldn't hear,]
[what I couldn't say.]
Let's take a break here.
[Warning: Bear Frequenting Area]
Here.
Thank you.
How long have you and Hyun-jo known about this?
Have you two been investigating the whole time?
That's why you two were always together.
Did Hyun-jo tell you anything
before the accident on the snowy mountain?
No.
After that incident last summer,
I haven't been able to see him.
Last summer...
A lot of bad things happened.
[Year 2019]
Gosh.
Why do we lose every single game?
You shouldn't throw the "yut" sticks so hard.
You only throw "do" every time.
Hey! We could've easily won if you avoided "geol" there.
Exactly.
You should use your brain more often.
You said you saw black hiking gloves.
Yes.
As you're aware, there are plenty of black hiking gloves on Mount Jirisan.
And I don't mean just rangers.
If you include hikers and residents, you can't even count them.
[No drinking allowed in the national park]
We can't catch the murderer just with the gloves.
It has to do with the mountain.
All the victims had something to do with the mountain.
Poachers, herb collectors...
Hyeon-su, who died during the march,
also said that this is his hometown.
Again.
There are plenty of people who have lived near Mount Jirisan for generations.
It could just be a coincidence.
But why?
Why is the murderer
killing people on this mountain?
One thing I'm sure of.
It's a totally crazy person.
You know what though?
What?
Today's our one-year anniversary.
What?
Are we dating? Why would you keep track of that?
I didn't say that.
I just meant it's been a year since the day we saved Seung-hun.
So what?
Do you want to celebrate with a cake or something?
Seriously.
My goodness.
Hey, go run the errands by yourself.
Huh? But we lost together.
I'm busy!
Gosh, seriously...
[Bidam Shelter]
Look who it is!
Loser Hyun-jo!
-Hurry over here. -Hurry up!
[Sand]
This is lukewarm.
[Jirisan National Park, Ranger]
It's four hours to get here.
That's 240 minutes.
Back in my day, we carried an icebox with drinks on our heads.
-Filled with ice. -I'm leaving.
Hey!
That's my drumstick!
Hey! That's not yours.
This one's spicy.
How dare he take the crispy one?
Really?
[Weather Conditions]
Ready to go?
So...
Loser Seo Yi-gang.
We'll head out first.
See you tomorrow.
[2019 Summer Disaster Prevention Workshop]
Hello? Hello?
What happened?
I saw a collapsed man on my way down the mountain.
I shook him, but he didn't wake up and didn't seem to be breathing either.
I was too scared, and my battery ran out.
-So I just ran... -Where did you see him?
Well, so... Where was it?
[Haedong One. An injured man reported at 2.5km on the trail, near Sonbawi Rock.]
Kang Hyun-jo speaking. I'm 2km away from Sonbawi Rock.
I'll mobilize.
[I'll leave now, too.]
[It seemed like he was unable to breathe. Hurry up.]
Are you all right?
Have you called the police?
I'll keep watch until the police arrive. You go down first.
It's fine. I'm a ranger, too.
Remember...
I told you about my colleague who died on the mountain?
Back then,
his military dog tags...
were never found.
That kept bothering me,
so I came here to look for it.
[This mountain frightened me]
[since Hyeon-su had died.]
[But I wanted to find his belongings]
[and return it to his family.]
[I walked with my head down,]
[because I didn't want to see anything else.]
[I only thought about finding the dog tags.]
[That was the only thing on my mind.]
[But on that day,]
[the mountain looked beautiful.]
[The mountain I saw that day wasn't an object of fear.]
I don't know why he came here today.
But...
I hope he got comforted by the mountain like I did.
[These flowers represent happiness.]
[2019 Summer Disaster Workshop]
Mr. Needle.
Are you looking for Ms. Thread?
I think you're the needle and the thread.
-Should we sit here? -Yes.
You haven't had breakfast, right? Here, try this. It's good.
-Thank you. -The coffee's hot.
I also haven't had breakfast yet.
It's almost lunchtime. You should wait.
Is it good?
Let me know if you want more.
Yi-gang took a day off today.
I'm sure she doesn't want to be here.
Is everyone here?
-Hello, sir. -Sit, sit.
[2019 Summer Disasters Prevention Workshop]
I'll go ahead since everyone's here.
The most representative summer disaster is a torrential downpour.
There's a saying, "clouds hang on the mountain ridge."
When rain clouds can't pass over huge mountains over a thousand meters high,
local torrential rainfall can occur,
which is unpredictable by weather forecast and is therefore dangerous.
[Such local torrential rainfall is dangerous]
[because it's pouring on the top of the mountain but clear below,]
so it's hard to estimate the danger.
The rougher the geographical features,
the more water it'll collect, increasing ever so fast.
[At its fastest, it'll be 3 meters per second in speed]
[and engulf downstream.]
[That is strong enough to uproot trees and wipe buildings away.]
Like the expression, "water comes standing,"
it might be too late by the time you detect danger.
A good example would be the Dowon Valley flood in 1995.
[Over 200mm of torrential downpour occurred then,]
[sweeping everything in the valley]
in less than an hour.
We were helpless in the past,
but not anymore.
Thanks to the response systems
such as AWS and automatic rain gauge,
casualties are decreasing.
But we still need to be vigilant.
Take special caution on preventing flood-related accidents
by fortifying patrols during the disaster prevention period
for illegal camping and cooking
in the national park and on campsites
near valleys vulnerable to flooding.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
[Jirisan National Park Haedong Ranger Station]
Put that in the cabinet.
You know it's the village ancestral rites today, right?
Come to the town hall and help.
So...
Yi-gang's parents...
How did they pass away?
[Jirisan National Park, Ranger]
The shelter they were in
got swept away by a flood.
I understand why Yi-gang doesn't want to come to the ritual.
What?
There are records from before the building got swept away.
Records?
Yes.
There's a notebook with people's conversations from that day.
They put it in a safe just in case, and it got found later.
Everyone there
left a will to their family,
but only Yi-gang's parents didn't leave a single word.
That must have been hard on her.
[Closing early today. Sorry for any inconvenience.]
Hey! Where are you going again?
I told you, not today.
We're in charge of the food this year.
You want me to cook everything alone?
You're not alone. You have plenty of helpers around.
What are you saying? Hey!
If it's that hard, don't do it.
Stop right there! You brat.
When will you stop being like this?
Won't you prepare a ritual table for me when I die?
Stop saying that.
What are you saying?
Hey!
Oh, that brat. What will I do with her?
Gosh, what a pain in the neck!
[Wildlife Ecology Evaluators for Mount Jirisan Cable Car]
-You must be from the national park. -Yes, we are.
Thank you for coming out.
[Yang Geun-tak, President of Mount Jirisan Cable Car Promotion Committee]
-There's 11 of you in total, right? -Yes.
[Wildlife Ecology Evaluators for Mount Jirisan Cable Car]
We'll be climbing 7km to Deokseoryeong as you requested.
Today, we'll spend the night at Bidam Shelter,
and climb the rest tomorrow.
Very good.
What about the environmental organization who are coming with us?
Here.
Hello, sir.
-There's five of you, right? -Yes.
Do you have all your stuff?
Then, let's roll.
How have you been, sir?
[Wildlife Ecology Evaluators for Mount Jirisan Cable Car]
Yes?
Where else? I'm on the mountain.
Because of the lottery ticket, of course.
Okay. I'll call you back.
[Yi-gang]
[Your call cannot be completed...]
[Village Hall]
Why are you so late?
Is Yi-gang here?
Do you even listen to me?
I told you she's not coming.
Hey!
Why are slacking off?
What? I've been working so hard till now.
Enough of that. Go put these on the table.
-You should help, too. -Yes.
You...
I did all this.

What brings you here?
Didn't you go to the ritual?
You know...
I'm kind of tired of them now.
Seriously?
Then why are you here? Because of that?
To get some energy?
Gwigam Rock.
It's surely a powerful rock.
Are you here because of that?
Or...
Is there another reason?
That's strange.
Doesn't the air feel heavy?
Please cross carefully.
-Okay. -Okay.
[Haedong Town Hall]

Get out of the valley!
Quick! Get out of there!
[More localized rain can occur. We must rescue everyone before then.]
[I'll go.]
[You must keep watch here.]
[Black Bridge Village is gone because of you.]
[You might not get the benefit if it was suicide.]
[I think the murderer has something to do with the incident.]
Did something happen back then?
They just made an unfortunate choice.
