THE PLACES, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS

AND CASES DEPICTED ARE FICTIONAL.

Yang-seon!

Yang-seon!

Last summer it sure was a painful season.

Yang-seon. Yang-seon!

I hope you can train me more in the future.

I'll teach you how to shoot a rope gun.

I feel like a real ranger now.

Yang-seon went out as a hero.

She was the most heroic ranger.

Nothing would've happened to her if she hadn't gotten on that bus.

If she hadn't gotten on that bus--

Let's get a job. You little--

I sent you there to save lives. Not to get yourself hurt.

All I had was my grandmother!

Because of me.

They died because of me.

It wasn't an accident.

That man killed those people.

Geomeundarigol Village.

That's what the name of the village sounded like.

About Geomeundarigol Village, why the sudden interest?

What exactly happened to that village?

Several villagers lost their lives.

Some took their own lives.

People died? Why?

Everyone who's died so far lived in Geomeundarigol Village.

What happened back then?

Geomeundarigol Village.

Geomeundarigol.

That's where Hyeon-jo was right before the accident.

Take me there.

You think I-gang will be okay?

I-gang. I-gang is on the mountain.

-Hurry up. -You think I-gang will be okay?

Let's save this person and get back fast.

What? I thought it was here. Why is no one here?

Haedong One,

we're at Kkachigogae, but no one is here.

Look around carefully. You're at the right place.

There's not a single soul around here.

-Someone made a false distress call. -What?

Someone filed a false report so I-gang would be alone.

You're here.

Can you see me?

What happened to you?

Did it hurt?

Does it

still hurt?

He was wearing a ranger uniform.

It was a winter uniform, for sure.

His clothes and his hands were all bloody.

He looked really lonely.

He heard your voice on the radio.

Da-won.

I think he really wanted to speak to you.

I think he'd been waiting for you

a long time.

I-gang.

What have you been doing up here?

Unable to leave, and remaining here alone like a fool.

What have you been doing?

Last summer.

What's happened to you since then?

It was you?

Were you the one who murdered everyone?

-What do you mean, "murder"? -Why are you here?

-What-- -I asked you why!

To meet someone.

Who?

To murder that person?

What on earth are you talking about?

I already know everything, so answer me.

I don't know why you're being like this,

but I'm not here to murder someone.

I came because someone called me here.

Someone

called you here?

If you don't believe me, look.

KIM UNG-SUN 3:00 P.M. AT GEOMEUNDARIGOL

3:00 P.M. AT GEOMEUNDARIGOL

"Kim Ung-sun."

This was your phone?

Yes. It's my phone.

What's going on?

Officer Kim asked you to meet him here?

Yes.

Why this place?

I don't know.

He's the one who called me here.

I can't reach him even though he's supposed to be here,

so I was looking around.

He's still not here,

so he must've forgotten our appointment,

or something probably came up.

JOYFUL SENIOR HEALTH CARE

I think he probably wanted to talk about Geomeundarigol,

since he called me here.

I sometimes ran into him in this area.

He must've been homesick.

This place is Officer Kim's hometown too?

That's right.

His hometown…

is Geomeundarigol.

-Stop it! -I said get out.

We have no intention of leaving,

so go.

I told you I'd provide as much resettlement compensation as possible.

I never want to see you again. Leave. Let's go.

I'm warning you.

You will definitely regret this.

As the mayor, I'm strongly against the cable car project.

What do you all think?

What about you, Nam-sik?

Well, if that's what you think,

I'm sure you're right.

What about you, Se-uk's dad?

I'm with you.

By the way, how much would the resettlement compensation be?

That's not the issue.

We're trying to protect our home and our mountain.

-What about you, Ung-sun's dad? -I'll follow your lead.

Everyone else?

I'm with you too.

-We're back. -We're home!

Hey!

How was school?

It seems like Ung-sun is the captain as the oldest.

NEAR SAEMAGOL SEONNYEO CAVE

DISCOVERED TRACES OF PARTISANS

This is a photo from when we were young. This is me.

This is Yang-seon.

And this is Kim Hyun-su,

the boy who lived next door.

I hope your hometown will give you some energy.

This is Ung-sun.

He was the eldest.

What about him? Does he live here?

This is Se-uk. The one who died.

Who is it?

Lee Se-uk is from Geomeundarigol Village as well?

What happened in that village?

Before that, I want to hear your story.

What did you mean when you said I was murdering people?

Someone is murdering people by disguising them as accidents.

Lee Se-uk, who is now dead,

was an accomplice.

There's no way.

The culprit tried to kill someone today too.

I think…

he was after you.

But how did you know that?

Did the mountains tell you that too?

I found out from investigating

after Se-uk's death.

Everyone who died

was from Geomeundarigol Village.

I'm sure the killer is somehow connected to the village.

Now tell me your story.

Geomeundarigol Village.

What exactly happened there?

I don't exactly remember as I was too young.

I just remember there being one funeral after another.

First, it was my mother's.

Then Se-uk's father's.

And the last one was my father's.

How did they pass away?

I heard my mom and Se-uk's dad died due to an accident.

My dad

committed suicide.

Why would your father do that?

I told you.

I don't really remember because I was too young.

And who would've told the actual reason to such a young kid?

What about the will-o'-the-wisps?

You told me

the reason why the village disappeared

wasn't the ousting or the cable cars.

You said it was because of will-o'-the-wisps.

Before something bad happened,

I always saw them.

Will-o'-the-wisps.

What do you mean by that?

I have no clue what they were.

My father said he saw them too,

but he couldn't find out what they were.

Then what about Lee Se-uk?

What kind of person was he?

Ung-sun knows a lot about Se-uk.

After Geomeundarigol Village was demolished,

I left Jirisan.

I went to my relative's house in Seoul since my parents had passed away.

I heard Hyun-su and Yang-seon left Jirisan as well.

The only ones who stayed

were Se-uk and Ung-sun.

They were very close since they were young.

Se-uk probably depended on Ung-sun.

What brings you here?

It's the flood incident log you requested.

I see. Thank you.

The one who knows the most about the villagers.

That person probably knew

when and why the victims went to the mountain.

-By the way… -Yes?

…I went to Geomeundarigol yesterday to patrol

and met Kim Sol.

He said he was supposed to meet you.

Yes. You're right.

But something urgent came up, so I couldn't make it.

Anything else I can help you with?

No.

Goodbye.

Do you hike these days?

No. I'm too busy with work.

Okay, then.

KIM NAM-SIK, JANG HAK-SU, KIM SEONG-GUK

She was making a fuss about losing her necklace, and she found it.

Then she went down saying she was busy.

She left just like that?

After filing a theft report?

Yes. She said to call if you guys need her.

Okay. Thank you. Let's go.

Give me a moment to catch my breath.

How are you so good at hiking when you're not even a ranger?

He's a better hiker than we are.

Is something wrong? Why do you look so pale?

No. Nothing is wrong.

-I'm leaving. -Sure.

Someone who is close with the rangers

and is knowledgeable about the mountain.

Hello.

Are these the illegal herbs?

Yes.

Where's Officer Kim?

He's on patrol.

They collected so many.

Where do they keep collecting these herbs?

By the way, how is the investigation going on the bus accident

that happened during the flood last summer?

The bus accident?

I heard the accident was being investigated.

The case was closed as a simple accident.

Officer Kim took care of the documents.

Can I see the work log for the recent flood disaster?

If we can tell where they were,

I think we might find witnesses.

The Geomeundarigol villager

who was closest to Lee Se-uk.

That person is most likely the culprit.

But why…

GEOMEUNDARIGOL VILLAGE RESIDENT DISPLACEMENT REPORT

…is he murdering people from his hometown?

LEE GEUM-RYE, HEO JIN-OK, HWANG GIL-YONG

HEO JIN-OK MINSEUNG-RI 221, UNIT 201

Hello?

I'm from the national park.

Hello?

Who is it?

-Hello. -Hello.

I'm here to meet the person who lives here.

The name is Heo Jin-ok.

Here.

We promised to meet in the mountains a while back, but I can't reach her.

She did say that she was going to go to the mountains before.

But her illness got worse, so she had to be hospitalized.

Hospitalized?

HEO JIN-OK PANCREATIC CANCER

A few months ago, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

She doesn't have much time,

so she started getting ready for her end.

She was widowed at a young age, so she has no family.

It's heartbreaking.

Geomeundarigol Village?

Yes.

I heard Grandma Geum-rye was from there.

When they were tearing down the village,

do you know what happened?

I don't know.

I was in another city attending school.

Then did your mom tell you anything about the village?

I told you I don't know.

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit busy now.

So please go.

Sir.

I'm sorry, but could you give me the addresses of any residents from there?

I don't have them.

It's been 30 years.

They all scattered to different places.

How am I supposed to keep track of them?

Officer Kim didn't reply back?

No.

But…

I still can't believe it.

Your story about people getting murdered in the mountains.

And Ung-sun would never do such a thing.

I know it's hard to believe.

But you must be careful.

He might ask you to meet with him at Geomeundarigol again.

When that happens, be sure to tell me.

All right.

Please tell me if anything happens.

Sure.

After Yang-seon died,

he cleaned everything out and moved to the city.

Okay. Thank you.

INCIDENT REPORT, KIM JIN-DEOK

MISSING PERSONS SEARCH RESULT REPORT

I managed to save Sol, but this isn't the end.

Someone will get killed again.

I must stop him before then.

-Are you okay? -Are you okay, sir?

It's your fault.

Nothing would've happened to her

if she hadn't gotten on that bus.

If it hadn't been for you--

Please just go.

Please leave!

Gang Hyeon-jo!

Hey.

Well done.

-Have you been well? -Yes.

Is he treating you well?

Gosh. I'm so exhausted.

Gosh. This is refreshing.

I heard the kids who went to a retreat near Cheonwangbong are hiking.

Did they descend okay?

Some of them did.

And I think some are near Cheonwangbong.

I saw you searching for something on our last patrol.

Did you lose something?

Well, a dog tag.

What?

Why are you looking for it?

Wait. I've seen a dog tag before.

-That's right. I have too. -Where?

Where you saw the Asian black bear before.

Geomeundarigol?

Are you talking about the cave in the shelter?

Yes, when we went to put up the bear warning sign,

I looked around inside.

What's this?

What the hell?

Wait. Why did they come all the way here and throw all this away?

But there are other things too.

Snake traps, hiking staves, ropes and crampons. It was a mess there.

People don't really go there, right?

Who threw all those away?

Could it be?

Could it be?

-There's a hiking staff. -Illegal hikers probably left it here.

There's a ton of stuff.

A dog tag, rope, crampons, hiking staves,

hiking boots and snake traps.

Hyeon-jo. Hyeon-jo!

You okay?

Who cleaned up the things in the shelter?

Hey, do you remember who?

I think Mujin Ranger Station cleaned it up.

Geomeundarigol Shelter?

Yes. I heard that you guys cleaned up the lost items there.

Us? That's not true.

Everything had already been cleaned up when we went.

HQ sent help, remember? Maybe they did it.

Someone came from HQ?

Which teams came for the cleanup?

It was us, Bidam Shelter, HQ, Seseok Ranger Station, the ecology center.

They came too.

Yes.

The lost items that were in Geomeundarigol Shelter.

Okay. Thank you.

JIRISAN NATIONAL PARK ON-SITE WORK LOG

MUJIN RANGER STATION, SESEOK SHELTER

They all say they didn't clean up the lost items in the shelter.

Did you lose something?

Rangers took lost items from here.

Why did they come all the way here and throw all this away?

Hey, have the kids clean this up.

Yes, sir.

It must be the culprit. The culprit took them.

I'm sure the killer didn't throw them away.

He didn't take it down from the mountain, either.

There's no place like the mountains when you want to hide something.

The lost items in Geomeundarigol Shelter

all belonged to victims?

That's right. The rangers didn't clean them up.

The culprit took them.

I must find where the items are hidden.

Would there be a suitable place nearby?

I'm not sure.

When I find the lost items, I'll finally have evidence.

JIRISAN MAP FOR COUNTERING ACCIDENTS

GEOMEUNDARIGOL

How are you?

You're off duty tomorrow, right?

Let's meet.

Snow clouds are forming over the West Sea.

There will be heavy snow in the southwestern region.

A heavy snow warning has been issued

in 16 cities, including Gwangju and Jeollado.

And especially in…

…over 10 centimeters of snow will fall in the Jirisan area.

NATIONAL PARK - 200 METERS TO HAEDONG RANGER STATION

CHOI IL-MAN, LEE JONG-GU, KIM JIN-DEOK,

LEE GEUM-RYE, HEO JIN-OK, HWANG GIL-YONG

The people on this list are being killed one by one?

That's right.

Everyone on this incident log

is from Geomeundarigol Village.

What in the world happened in that village?

We can ask the people who lived here.

We can ask Ung-sun to give us these people's addresses.

There's something more urgent.

Tomorrow before 5:30 p.m.,

please install a video camera at Seogi Cliff in Dowon Valley.

Why?

JIRISAN NATIONAL PARK

Officer Kim is the killer.

Ung-sun? There is no way.

I saw it again.

It's above Seogi Cliff in Dowon Valley.

Tell me.

Why do you want us to install a video camera there?

Someone might die there tomorrow.

What?

How do you know that?

Is this one of those things?

The signal only you and Hyeon-jo know?

It's not because I don't trust you guys.

I can't tell you guys

because anyone would find it hard to believe.

Thank you for trusting me and following my lead.

So think of this as my last favor…

and help me out just once more.

Fine.

-We just need to install the camera? -Yes.

Install it and stay there.

You must stop the murder from happening.

Anything else you want us to do?

Please keep this a secret from Ung-sun.

Why?

He's from Geomeundarigol Village as well.

But that alone doesn't prove he's the culprit.

I also know he's not that kind of person.

The mountain isn't the only thing the culprit knew well.

He also knew the victims very well.

No one knows more about the villagers than Ung-sun.

Are you a stalker?

DAILY LOG

-What do you mean? -Are you stalking the villagers?

We're responsible for this area. We should check on them.

I'm going on patrol. Make sure you stay alert.

Good evening.

What brings you here?

Still collecting herbs?

No, not at all.

I told you I don't collect herbs.

Well…

I was wondering if I could get one.

I heard the Jangsaeng bellflower root are in season.

If I collect it in secret and get caught, I'll be in big trouble.

Okay, then.

Come back tomorrow.

Just in case.

I'll ask the other herbalists.

All right,

and please keep this a secret.

Of course.

Today, no matter what happens--

We'll catch the culprit.

JIRISAN NATIONAL PARK HAEDONG RANGER STATION

-Go inside. -Radio me right away if something happens.

We'll be back.

RESTRICTED

PARK IL-HAE

The time and the location have changed.

But why?

Gu-yeong. How far in are you?

We're near Mangbawi in Dowon Valley.

I think it'll take two more hours to get to Seogi Cliff.

Got it. Radio me when you get there.

I saw it again.

It's above Seogi Cliff in Dowon Valley.

Someone was watching us.

What are you doing here?

That came from Guseung Cliff.

Damn it!

Are you all right, sir?

I-gang.

Below Guseung Cliff in Dowon Valley,

we found a victim, presumed dead.

He's not showing vital signs.

I saw it again.

It's above Seogi Cliff in Dowon Valley.

It was the culprit.

The culprit overheard us

and changed the location and the time.

Please, don't kill me.

-Can you see me? -Yes, I can.

I saw you before too.

It's not just me.

Everyone who saw you died.

Please let me live.

What he said was true.

You're here.

Can you see me?

I-gang.

LEE DA-WON

I-gang. Can you hear me?

Leave this place.

Forget everything that happened on this mountain…

and leave this place.

Forget everything,

move on,

and live happily.

Please.

Please do not come back.

Hyeon-jo.

Hyeon-jo!

Gang Hyeon-jo!

I-gang.

Gang Hyeon-jo!

Hyeon-jo is on that mountain.

You really saw him on the mountain?

It comes down to those three people,

Sol, and Ung-sun.

What is this about?

People who lived in that village are being murdered.

The answer is on the mountain.

I'm sorry.

I found out why Se-uk's dad died.

This is all we can do.

I must read the records.

It's time we let Hyeon-jo be at rest.

Some wanted to stay, and some wanted to leave.

May I come in?
