HEROES NEXT DOOR

THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION. ALL CHARACTERS, PROFESSIONS, PLACES,

COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS, ETHNIC GROUPS AND EVENTS ARE NOT REAL.

ALL CHILD AND ANIMAL SCENES WERE FILMED SAFELY UNDER EXPERT SUPERVISION.

Watcher-One. The site is clear.

The kids are heading to the ground floor.

Check the outside.

Sierra-Kilo. The outside is clear.

The kids have arrived on the ground floor.

The man with the backpack is on the move.

Sierra-Kilo!

An explosion on the ground floor! A warning for a second explosion.

Retreat to B-4. Over!

What's wrong, honey? Do you have a headache?

What? Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine.

Dad, look!

Stand beside Mom. I'll take a photo of you two.

Let's take a photo.

All right.

- One, two, three. - One, two, three.

Look, Do-yeon!

WE'RE FAMILY, AREN'T WE?

MAGNIFYING MEDIA

Producer Kim?

Producer Kim.

The phone is turned off. Please leave a voice message.

You will be charged extra after...

The phone is turned off.

This afternoon,

the culprit behind the online bomb threat in Kiyun-si was arrested.

The bombs were found to be fake.

The suspect stated he had planned the crime

after seeing online news questioning recent explosions in Kiyun-si.

Who are they?

What do you mean?

Who are these bastards playing with bombs in our neighborhood?

How should I know?

Isn't that what you meet up to talk about every day?

Give me a sec.

PARK JEONG-HWAN

Hello?

What? Producer Kim is missing?

MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT ARRESTED FOR FAKE BOMB THREATS IN KIYUN-SI

KWAK BYEONG-NAM

Hey, little bro.

Emergency!

- The fake bomb? - No, that's not it!

What is it, then?

Let me call you back.

Choi Kang?

- Who are you? - Let's meet.

I'm asking who you are.

The Chief of JDD Headquarters.

The Vice Minister of National Defense. Lee Geun-cheol.

What's going on? Where's Producer Kim?

No idea. We can't get in touch with him.

He wasn't answering when I called about the hate comments on his video.

So I came to check and...

And the place was a mess.

Yes, someone took the security cameras and the hard drives, too.

I didn't expect you here, Ms. Jung.

What? I can't be here?

Of course you can.

MIN-SEO WAS AT THE FAKE BOMB SITE

Hurry and help us clean up.

Soldiers?

Huh?

This is a combat boot footprint.

Of military officers, too.

Here, I'll take a photo for evidence.

You installed those things to find Hui-ja before, right?

Yeah, I did.

I was just thinking about those, too! You really know your stuff.

Install what?

Security cameras.

There are security cameras?

Hui-ja went out alone and almost got stuck at a construction site.

Chun-bae was so desperate, so I installed a few around the town.

- Why are you only telling us now? - When was I supposed to tell you?

- Where are they? - Here and there.

There are some near here, right? Let's check those first.

Yeah, let me bring them.

Follow me.

There we go.

All this to keep the laundry service lady safe?

You're a good guy.

We're neighbors. We're practically family.

I'd be your older brother, then.

You have a real talent for being annoying.

I'll take that.

So what's with Ms. Jung?

How did she know they were soldiers from just footprints?

She's one scary woman.

She used to be a drill instructor for the 707th Unit.

What?

During today's fake bomb disaster, she went in herself to defuse the bomb.

She defused a bomb by herself?

Min-seo was there.

Man...

What's with all the special forces in this neighborhood?

Wasn't Yong-hui also in the 707th Unit?

He was a military store clerk in the 707th

and later got assigned to some hacking-related unit.

Let's hurry before she goes off again.

What are they, subduing a terrorist?

Those crazy bastards.

How could they arrest a journalist in this day and age just for speaking out?

It means he hit the spot.

I'm checking online,

and there isn't any news about Magnifying Media.

The government could be controlling it,

or they could really be moving in secret.

- What? - Huh?

Oh, that's just how it always is in movies, you know?

What if they arrest us, too?

We were the ones who brought this to Producer Kim's attention!

He interviewed me too. Don't worry.

Yeah, don't worry. He interviewed all of us.

Should we just upload this video?

No, not yet.

Let's check all the other videos and find out where he was taken to.

I know where all the other cameras are,

so I'll check them all tonight.

If I find anything, I'll share it in the group chat.

Then I'll ask this lawyer I know

- what we should do with this clip. - Okay.

- I'll make some calls, too. - Okay.

And you?

- What are you going to do? - Me?

Hey, I installed all these cameras. I've already done my part.

I'll look around the neighborhood.

If I see anyone suspicious, I'll handle...

I mean... I'll scream.

Yeah, he's got the voice of thunder.

I'll take care of this guy.

Hey, let's go patrol around.

- Shall we get going, then? - Come on.

Where am I?

Hold up. Hey!

Hello!

Hello!

Hey, this is illegal confinement!

Hey! Get me a lawyer right now!

Hey! Hello?

Somebody tell me what's going on!

Where am I?

Who parked their car like this?

They're ruining my morning.

Honey, I'll need to go back and forth a few times.

Should I do it?

That'll take forever.

You can go and open the store.

Min-seo, hop in.

Just give me money. I'll take a cab.

Just get in.

- See you. - Bye.

Have a good day, Min-seo.

- Bye, Dad. - Bye!

My Nam-yeon is totally pissed.

All of you are screwed today.

Mom,

the fake bomb guy was an eighth-grader at Kiyun Middle School.

The police arrested him at his house.

No way!

And you?

Are you okay?

About what?

Never mind.

I'm glad you take after me.

Get off your phone and get out.

I'll be late today because of my birthday party.

Thank you for the birthday money.

Call me at 9 p.m. I'll pick you up.

- Okay, see you. - Bye.

Mom, you were so cool yesterday.

- One, two, three. - One, two, three.

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

Thanks!

Gosh.

That was an eventful day.

Oh? Mr. Cellphone!

How's your injury?

Just get in the back.

- You're still sulking. - What?

Oh, my. You drive so well.

VICE MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE LEE GEUN-CHEOL

That's some good photoshop.

Did you spot anything peculiar during the ATM explosion?

Why are you asking me?

There were soldiers to clean up every explosion site.

Does it have something to do with JDD?

We're looking into it, and I don't think so.

Then why did you call me instead of continuing the search?

Surely you have the power to mess with anyone over anything.

It's not that simple, which is why I've called you.

If the Vice Minister of National Defense is having trouble,

is this related to the Minister or something?

My, my. This guy.

Lee Yong-hui.

A manager...

A manager at a special martial arts gym?

Kwak Byeong-nam. Runs a stationery shop.

The HID Unit?

Jung Nam-yeon, Mammoseu Mart.

She's the one who made a scene about defusing the bomb herself.

She was the youngest drill instructor of the 707th Unit?

CERTIFIED COUNTER-TERRORISM EOD INSTRUCTOR

A Hanguk University student?

A mortar?

What kind of a neighborhood is this?

This guy was exempt from conscription.

Nothing special.

So, why did you call me?

The bombs that went off in Kiyun-si

were used in the Korean military a few years back.

We don't know how they ended up in Kiyun-si yet.

So that's why the soldiers were in such a hurry to clean up the site.

But what was a foreigner doing with it?

It was definitely a foreigner who had the bomb at the ATM.

That's what's odd, which is why we're investigating it.

If you could just help us--

Oh, no, I'm just a civilian now.

This isn't a mission. I'm asking you a favor.

Let me ask you one, too.

Please stop calling me.

Something's going on, and Kiyun-si is at the center of it.

That's something even my six-year-old daughter knows.

Talk about stating the obvious.

We'd really appreciate your help, Mr. Choi.

Where am I?

Hey!

Taxi...

TO VEOTIGO INSURANCE: 58,000 WON

It costs 58,000 won?

That man sure knows how to hold a grudge!

Man!

The next news is about Kiyun-si's specialized IT zone plan.

James Sullivan's representative announced a change coming...

- Sir, please turn up the volume. - Sure.

...including that for Kiyun-si.

Sullivan's Joinus Company has even purchased the land

to build its Asian hub,

yet it's announced a change in its investment plans...

Too bad for anyone who recently bought property in Kiyun-si for this.

That'd be me.

...causing a rise in anxiety.

In fact, no transactions were made on properties in Kiyun-si today,

reflecting people's quick reaction to Sullivan's announcement.

In response to this, Kiyun-si announced...

Only under two conditions.

First,

you know that Producer Kim In-seop of Magnifying Media

was arrested by soldiers yesterday, right?

The license plate number was H60 6789.

Don't tell me you didn't know about this.

They arrested a civilian journalist without the Vice Minister's knowledge?

I'll look into it as soon as possible.

What's the second condition?

To wipe out every record regarding my past.

If you can promise those two things,

I'll consider it.

I checked wherever I could, too.

Yeah.

You have no idea, either?

They arrested a civilian, and nobody knows where he went.

He's not on the news, either. Gosh.

Anyway, okay, then.

Thanks, bye.

I really don't want to ask her for a favor.

Ms. Na,

you got a call from the head of the Women's Association in Changri-dong.

Who? The Women's Association?

Oh, Nam-yeon?

Why would she call me?

She said she had a favor to ask you.

Is that so?

Guess she needs something.

What's that?

The bomb analysis you asked for from the Kiyun-si explosions.

MINISTRY OF NATIONAL DEFENSE

Oh, man.

NA EUN-JAE

Hello. To what do I owe the pleasure?

I wondered why you were rushing to blame them on butane gas,

but you've been really doing your job, huh?

What's this absolute nonsense?

"HMX found."

"A unique trait of C-4s produced in Korea."

"A unique recipe,

only used at Korea's domestic munitions factories."

Want me to read you the whole thing?

"Same boat," my foot. Why did you go behind my back?

I guess someone's been sneaking away military supplies, huh?

Ms. Na.

I got this

under control, all right?

Just wait a bit.

I don't care what you do to get some extra money,

but I won't let it slide if this ruins the specialized zone plan.

I'm telling you, that's not going to happen!

Minister Kim.

Come on, Seok-jun.

One wrong move, and you're done.

Good luck, okay?

Damn it.

Why, that little...

NA EUN-JAE

Oh, my!

My goodness. Did you come alone, Hui-ja?

It's just a short walk. Why would I need someone with me?

Here.

What's this?

Seaweed soup?

It's full of mussels, my favorite.

What's the special occasion?

It's Min-seo's birthday today.

Did you forget your own daughter's birthday?

You remember Min-seo's birthday?

You were crying your eyes out

about your parents not being near enough to help then.

So I was the one who made you seaweed soup.

Why wouldn't I remember that?

Oh, my, Hui-ja, you remember everything now.

Is that for your husband?

No, for Myeong-o.

I see. Myeong-o's mom?

She came by yesterday

and wouldn't stop talking about how he got a perfect score.

It's impressive how well she's raising him by herself.

Just wait and see. He'll make it to Hanguk University.

Right.

I can take that to Myeong-o's mom for you.

I'm seeing her later, anyway.

- Will you do that for me? - Yeah.

And...

Are you heading back?

Let me tag along for some fresh air.

You have to watch the store. You can't leave.

- It's a quick walk. Let's go. - What?

Hui-ja!

Why'd you leave without telling me?

I was looking for you everywhere!

Why would you look for me?

Because I missed you.

Shall we?

Okay.

See you. Bye, Hui-ja.

Hey, let's tell each other where we're going

before going anywhere.

Hey, I'm here.

I brought some side dishes for you.

Hui-ja even made seaweed soup for you.

Let's see.

Gosh.

I can tell who's dropped by

just by looking at these containers.

If you don't have an appetite,

you should at least have some plain rice.

You're kidding me.

Hurry and eat.

I'm not leaving until you eat it all.

What?

Is it too salty?

Too hot?

You can't.

You have to eat, even if it's just a little bit.

Okay? Here.

What's this?

MAEUM LIFE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

The bus company brought it,

asking me to sign it.

I felt like

once I sign that, I'll never get to know...

why...

my Myeong-o died.

Don't sign it.

Don't do it.

I can't let go of Myeong-o like this, either.

Don't sign it.

Let's not do it, okay?

MS. LEE, PLEASE DON'T SKIP YOUR MEALS FROM JEONG-HWAN

Come in.

MINISTRY OF NATIONAL DEFENSE

On the day Kim In-seop was kidnapped,

the 707th Unit was out on a counter-terrorism mission.

Who was in charge of the mission?

The battalion commander,

but he was directly ordered by Minister Kim.

And where did they take Kim In-seop to?

The thing is, the unit returned to the base,

but nobody was with them.

He's using the military like a private service.

And about the vehicle, H60 6789, that you asked me to look into.

It belongs to Colonel Jang Jun-hui's unit from the Logistic Support Group.

Look into the route that the 707th Unit took to return.

They must've snuck Kim In-seop into Jang's vehicle on the way back.

Yes, sir.

Sit here.

This video.

Where did you get it?

Get me my lawyer.

Let me ask you one more time.

The vehicle in the accident disappeared,

but we found its dashcam footage on your computer.

How did you know that the vehicle disappeared?

Did you guys take it?

You uploaded an article,

claiming that a bomb caused the Kiyun Intersection accident, right?

Who's behind it?

A terrorist group?

North Korea?

A politician?

What a huge stretch.

So this is how you framed people into being spies, huh?

I'm a journalist,

and all I did was do my job.

I wasn't hired by anyone.

I was just covering the news!

How passionate.

We have plenty of time, so let's take it slow.

- Nobody's here? - No.

I think we'll find Producer Kim soon.

How?

I'll be getting information from JDD.

- JDD? - Oh, gosh.

Why are you here?

- He asked me to fix his computer. - Yeah.

Anyway, they're looking for him, and they'll call me soon.

Then I'll go and get him.

- Let's go together. - I'll go with you, too.

Calm down. I'll go alone.

Why? Are we embarrassing?

No, it's dangerous. I'll go alone this time.

Come on...

Why is nobody talking now that I'm here?

We've been quiet the whole time.

- Right? - Yeah.

Sorry for being late.

- What took you so long? - Why are you so late?

- You have to be on time! - That's right!

You kept the grown-ups waiting. You can't do that.

- That's right. - For goodness' sake.

Sorry.

It's fine.

I checked the footage all night,

and nothing peculiar was caught on the cameras.

Hey, go.

Yes.

I've spoken to a lawyer,

and he says it's best not to mess with the military.

Even Officer Park patrols other towns,

saying our town is safe.

There haven't been any reports.

I also made some calls, but didn't find anything useful.

They would have been smart.

Then shouldn't we find a way to outsmart them?

Yes, we should.

- Don't worry too much. - That's right.

We have Kang here...

who works for an insurance company.

Everyone has proper health insurance, right?

We have nothing to worry about, then.

HARDWARE DREAM TREE STATIONERY

Why is everyone so reckless?

How can you suggest uploading the video

after seeing Producer Kim get kidnapped?

What if something happens to you guys, too?

What do you think, huh?

Are you going to stay still if I get kidnapped?

Yes.

I'd go save you, you jerk.

You? Saving me?

That'd never happen.

Goodnight, then.

Hey.

Are you sulking?

You are. My goodness.

Make sure to drop by before work tomorrow.

With this, you'll become Thor himself.

Honey! Hurry up.

Honey, where's Do-yeon's backpack?

Is this the backpack you're speaking of, ma'am?

Yes, it is.

Do-yeon, get up. Let's go.

Come here.

After the Supreme Court's final verdict on Charlotte Sullivan's death,

James Sullivan has announced...

It's the ice cream man.

What ice cream?

That man gave me ice cream.

The legal process for Charlotte Sullivan's death is over,

- but as for the investment, - Goodness, Do-yeon.

Sullivan is reluctant to go ahead without rebuilding the trust.

Experts see this announcement as a sign

that Sullivan is pulling out of the special IT zone development plan.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Good morning. - Your hair looks great.

- Do-yeon. - Yeah?

Are you sure it was the man on TV who gave you the ice cream?

- Yes. - Have a great day.

It wasn't someone who just looked like him?

No, it was him. He looked exactly the same.

Hi.

Okay, then.

Did he only give you the ice cream,

or did he give some to other kids, too?

I don't know. He said it was from you.

Is that so?

It's Ms. Olivia!

Dad, you're awesome at English!

This is nothing.

I'm heading to work. See you later.

Bye!

WATER CELERY HERBAL PRODUCT HURRY UP TO GET IT!

WATER CELERY HERBAL MEDICINE

REGISTER DISCOUNT COUPON

DISCOUNT COUPON CODE

Make sure to drop by.

- Hey, good morning. - Hey.

I got Producer Kim's location.

I'll go get him right now.

Are you sure you'll be fine alone?

Take this with you.

It's a miniature camera with GPS.

You called me over for this?

Just wait.

Get in.

You're here early.

Yes, I've got a lot of work to do.

Anything I should know about?

No.

Just something personal.

I see.

See you around.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

What are those little rats whispering about?

MINISTRY OF NATIONAL DEFENSE

Hey.

Something smells fishy around here.

Clean up the site.

Damn it, this sucks.

Man...

This is total bullshit.

Damn it.

That crazy bastard!

INSURANCE BASTARD

Damn it! You've got to be kidding me!

Just let me eat, okay?

How are you, sir?

I'm always busy working hard, you know?

How are you feeling?

You know, all thanks to you,

I'm still in pain.

Don't tell me you resent me or want to curse me.

Curse you? I hate cursing.

That's why I don't even go to the beach in the summer.

Can't let the heat make me curse.

I don't even go to saunas because I don't want to curse, you know?

Good, as you should.

Anyway, Sang-ho,

I've got a task that's very hard for me but very easy for you.

Could you help me?

Feel free to say no. I'll visit you in person, then.

Oh, not at all.

Of course I'll help you.

Thanks, Sang-ho.

Ta-da.

What's this? A gun?

Come on. It's a taser gun.

I modified it,

so it's much more powerful than store-bought ones.

It's stronger than what the police use, so be careful.

If you get hit by this, you're finished.

One more thing.

This is the real deal.

You can shoot three times after loading it just once,

like a gun.

Sick, right?

You want me to guard myself with this?

No, it's for the bad guys.

Don't kill them.

Just incapacitate them with this.

You're not in JDD anymore.

You have to think about your family, too.

Don't cause too much trouble.

Seriously...

Where is he going?

Hold on. Where is this?

- He's not on the highway. - No.

What are you looking at?

Just my phone, why?

Yeah, I know.

What are you looking at?

Just a bunch of things. Some reels, you know?

Why are you here?

Me?

I called him here.

I needed him to reinstall the cameras from yesterday.

Yeah, I'm here to pick them up.

You know what I think?

You two

and Mr. Choi are up to something.

Are you on your way?

I'll be back after I drive Min-seo home.

Wait right here.

Yes, ma'am.

Man, what do we do now? She's so scary.

Why are you so scared?

Just go and reinstall the cameras.

A perfect alibi.

Get going, will you?

She told us to wait here!

Oh, right.

All right. Look at this.

Right here.

Hey, honey.

Can you take a cab and pick up Min-seo?

I have something to do.

Okay.

MAGNIFYING MEDIA

Ms. Jung!

Are you okay?

Yeah, go after him.

Yes?

We failed

to clean up the site.

You piece of trash, you had one job!

Hey.

Get rid of Kim In-seop.

Get rid of him. Get...

Kill him, you moron.

Yes, for real, you idiot!

You better not leave any traces, all right?

Don't mess this up.

Wow, I didn't think it'd actually work!

Drag him out.

Wait. Where are we going?

Where are you taking me?

Hey, where are you taking me?

Where are you taking me?

Just tell me where we're going.

Why won't you tell me?

Fine.

I get it!

Hey, do you know how wrong this is?

Where is this?

Where the hell is this?

Quiet.

No! Please, no!

Producer Kim, it's me.

Mr. Choi...

Mr. Choi...

I got him out.

I'll send you the coordinates. Head there.

That's the safest place for now.

Understood.

Okay.

No one's following us.

Won't they find us once they run the license plate?

It's okay. This isn't my car.

Are you hurt anywhere?

No.

Where were we, by the way?

Seemed like an abandoned military intelligence facility.

I see.

Who are you, really?

- Me? - Yes.

Didn't I tell you?

I work for Veotigo Insurance.

Not in sales.

I'm in the SIU Team. I investigate insurance fraud attempts.

No, that's not what I'm asking.

Who are you, really?

A friendly neighbor?

What?

Welcome back, sir!

Sorry, I took too long.

It's fine.

It wasn't long at all.

You know, your face...

is pretty cute.

Thanks for today.

Oh, sorry.

Hop in.

- Okay. - The key is inside, right?

Yes, it's inside, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

Why isn't the GPS tracker returning here?

Why is it going to Seoul?

Do you think something went wrong?

What happened?

Stop it, will you?

Why do you keep scaring us?

What now?

You said something about a GPS tracker.

I did?

- Did I? - No!

- What's going on? - Nothing.

CHOI KANG

Answer it.

- I will. - Answer it.

I was going to, okay?

Hey, why are you calling so late?

Why else?

The mission was a success. I'm on my way back.

Oh, you're heading home from work?

I thought you just had bad knees. Is your hearing bad too?

Yeah, I should kneel and pray.

We should all pray for Producer Kim's safe return.

I'll send you the address. Meet me there.

Okay, got it.

Drive home safe.

What is he saying?

See?

He's heading home from work.

I heard everything.

Stop lying!

Who are you, the Bionic Woman? Gosh.

We could hear everything.

SAFE GAS STATION

Nobody knows about this place,

which should earn you some time.

There are two storage units.

Enter the unit on the right, and push the barrels to the side.

You'll see a door.

What's all this?

Good work.

It may be inconvenient,

but stay here for the time being.

You'll be safe here.

- How far are we going? - Can you be quiet?

Come on.

- Walk faster, all right? - Are you sure this is the right place?

You sure this place is safe?

Oh, gosh, Producer Kim!

Well, I was going to come alone, but...

- But what? - What?

What's your problem?

Are we just strangers to you?

No, we're much closer than that.

Right, Byeong-nam?

Of course. We're...

We're close neighbors, like family.

You heard that, right?

They're my close neighbors, like family.

Yes.

HEROES NEXT DOOR

It's here.

Turn left.

This way.

Let me see that.

No, I'm right.

- Where are we going? - Just follow me.

This way.

I knew it. You're all busted.

I knew it when you left me alone to watch the store.

You're all busted!

They definitely came this way.

That's odd.

Where did they go?

Nam-yeon!

Honey?

Byeong-nam?

You guys are so funny. This is hilarious!

That's enough now.

You can stop hiding and come out.

I won't get mad.

Yeah, this is hilarious.

I can't go to sleep like this.

Come on. Come out and talk.

Where are you?

Man, this sucks.

Who snuck away the bombs?

I guess some big names are involved.

I hear you've been nosing around here and there.

How can we find that tiny button in such a big area?

Shall we begin?

Are we going in immediately once we find the location?

- I have plans tomorrow evening. - Cancel it.

You've been acting weird since moving here.

So what's the plan?

- They seem connected to Kim In-seop. - Bring it on!

Get your guys to look into them.

Byeong-nam and Nam-yeon won't answer!

You're dead.
