I'm sorry.

I came too late.

Sorry.

I thought I was really going to die.

I, well…

I wanted to go someplace nice
to give you this.

It's something I really want to give you.

Dojin…

Can't you…

just try it on?

Wow, it's pretty.

How did you know my ring size?

Uh…

Well, I have my ways.

If I could be, if I could see

Would you tell me to be so much more?

Ask me to stay

Ask me to be

Won't you tell me to be so much more?

-Tell me to stay
-Na, na, na...

It fits perfectly.

I'll take this one.

It's a really pretty ring.

Lately,

I've been…

very afraid of going into fires.

Do you know why?

Because you might not make it out?

Every firefighter goes in
knowing they might not make it out.

It's not that.

If I don't make it out…

I won't be able to see you.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Dojin.

-We have an emergency patient!
-Let's take him inside.

We'll check
for identification first.

Okay.

Wait a minute.

This is strange.

His pants are firefighting gear.

Majung Station,
report your status now.

Majung Station, report your status!

Majung Station,
Kim Taehwan reporting in!

Majung Station,
Park Sungdong reporting in!

His light reflex is normal.

Please check if there are
any other wounds on his head.

-Please start an IV.
-Yes, doctor.

Sir? Sir, can you hear me?

What about Dojin? What happened?

Please calm down.
You can't move during treatment.

Dojin.

Dojin went in alone.

Dojin didn't make it out!

-Please calm down. Calm down.
-I have to go.

Dojin!

I said Dojin didn't make it out.

Dojin!

I'm sorry.

I promised to make it home in one piece.

You're acting strange, Dojin.

You keep saying strange things.

Don't cry too much.

Dojin?

Okay?

Detective Jin, I called forensics.
The NFS…

-Stay away, Anna.
-What?

Stay away.

It's not him, is it?

Wait, don't look over there. Look at me.

The firefighter said
firefighters don't get burned.

Where is he?

I'm not sure. Where did he go?

It can't be him.

He even gave me his gear to wear.

Did he burn…

…because he took off

his gear for me?

No, it's not because of that.

Patient record
Song Seol

It's Ms. Song.
Her vitals are unstable!

It can't be him.

He heard that a child was still inside

and went in alone.

It can't be him.

Fortunately, her condition has stabilized.

And her blood oxygen level has increased
after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

However…

she hasn't regained consciousness.

Oh, my Seol.

What's going to happen
to my Seol?

Disease code for an unobserved death

The safest Taewon,
respected and beloved Taewon Police

Anything from the shopping center's
CCTV footage?

There were a lot of people,
so we couldn't track anyone by CCTV.

There has to be something
from the Jungmil Trade warehouse.

The warehouse is so remote
that there are no CCTVs in that area.

The warehouse had CCTVs,

but due to the fire…

It burned in the high heat.

Where's the whiteboard?

Both fires were reported
at exactly 1:30 p.m.

They were simultaneous fires, not serial.

Isn't it just a coincidence that the fire
at the shopping center broke out?

I heard it was caused
by an overheated frying pan.

Many people go there for lunch
since there are many restaurants.

That's why most of the firefighters
were dispatched there

and why the warehouse lacked manpower.

That means he deliberately put up
a smokescreen to draw attention away.

I'm sorry, but how?

How does one set a fire
in two locations at the same time?

Is that even possible?

And they were reported at the same time.

Could it be that he isn't working alone?

But most people who commit
serial violent crimes

are the lone wolf type.

Lone wolves don't stick together,

because they'll eventually fall apart.

Arson is different.

The process itself is complicated
and time-consuming.

Overseas,

there were quite a few cases of couples
committing these crimes together.

So this is starting
to get really complicated.

We need to go back
to the beginning of the case

and start with profiling the victims.

From serial arson to simultaneous fires,

this bastard only targeted firefighters.

They even left a signature mark?

I think they were targeting.

What do you mean?

Someone who would see the signature

the moment the fire burns and goes out.

Why are you already back at work?
I told you to rest.

There's something you need to see.

There was oxygen left in the tank.

His mask was off when he was found.

Exactly.

Why did he take off the respirator
that still had oxygen inside?

Was someone other than Dojin…

at the scene?

Oh.

What's going on?

You couldn't have been discharged yet,
so why are you here in that state?

There's something he needs to tell you.

Dojin said

he saw a star-shaped flame
in the warehouse.

Kisoo.

There's a star-shaped flame here, too.

I'll go after checking this.

It's highly likely that this case
isn't merely an accident.

If there's suspicion of murder…

My brother wouldn't want
any questions to go unanswered.

Emergency rescue
Bong Dojin

Shall we…

go out for a bit?

What are the people
left behind supposed to do

if you leave like that?

Do we really have to go this far?

From this point on, the corpse
is just evidence to catch a murderer.

Don't make it personal.

That's not as easy as it sounds.

We'll verify the identity first.

He is the deceased Bong Dojin, correct?

Case number KICS 15383-82.

-I really can't do this.
-Then wait outside.

What kind of situation is this?

-How could--
-Hey.

Stop it.

Do you think it doesn't affect me?

At least one person needs
to hold it together.

Wait at the office.

Autopsy schedule
Deceased: Bong Dojin

That's why…

I told you to come to the NFS.

The answers aren't always
at the scene of the crime.

The NFS needs someone
as talented as you, Officer Bong.

I'm making a serious offer right now.

Deceased: Bong Dojin

Here, I'm returning this.

You can keep it.

Carry it around.

A carabiner that saved your life
is a talisman.

Then you use it. You need it more.

I think you would be stabbed to death
sooner than I would be burned to death.

What do you think?

Why isn't Ms. Yun coming?

She said
she would be here soon, but…

Can someone other than Ms. Yun
perform this autopsy?

I'll check.

Sorry I was a bit late.

Ms. Yun, you don't have
to perform this autopsy yourself.

No, I'll do it.

The current time is 8:15 a.m.

Let's begin the autopsy.

Scalpel, please.

His clothes melted at the high heat
and stuck onto his entire body.

Let's tidy things up
before we get started.

Forceps, please.

The skin on his hands and feet is peeling.

There are cracks
and ruptures all over his body.

His clothes acted as a wick for the fire,
which accelerated the carbonization.

He was wearing a ring
on the pinky finger of his right hand.

The ring was removed after he died,

so no carbonization occurred under it.

He was breathing for some time
after removing the respirator.

His eyes are gone as well.

His eyes are what?

He took off his mask before he died

and had his eyes open until the very end.

Why did he take his mask off?

Scalpel, please.
Starting the incision.

Why did he take it off?

We'll examine the stomach contents.

What is this?

What did you find?

We'll need to run
a chemical analysis on this.

Let's cut from the esophagus
down to the stomach.

White crystals of an unknown element

are distributed from the stomach
to the esophagus.

Your internal organs stop moving
when you die.

The fact that these stopped
at the esophagus

means they entered his body
right before he died.

Please request an analysis
of the foreign substances in the body.

Ms. Yun,
we can do the sutures. Please go rest.

No, I'll do it.

You two may leave now.

All right.

You too, Detective Jin.

Okay.

I'm NFS medical examiner, Yun Hong.

Ah.

I'm Bong Dojin.

I'm sorry…

for putting a knife

to your body.

Bong Dojin, a firefighter
at Taewon Fire Station.

He completed his mission
and returned for good.

Deceased
Bong Dojin

Attention!

Silent tribute.

At ease.

Oh, how pitiful.

-So pitiful.
-My God, why…

How could this happen?

Oh, my…

Ms. Song, can you hear me?

I wonder that

Her light reflex is normal.

-And her blood oxygen level?
-Normal.

-It's normal?
-Yes.

So far away

Don't mind

Me sacrifice

What I have

For you

I'll cross the way

The last for you

It is fine

Don't try to be alone

The grave of Bong Dojin

Don't cry for me

If you can smile

That is all I need

Always

All right, let's eat.

-Seoha, come sit down.
-Okay.

Kisoo, would you like a lot?

What? Sure.

-Make sure to give the others enough.
-Okay.

Here, I'll give you some broth first.

Wow, who made this?

I did, of course.

Bong Dojin

Chief.

May I clean this up alone?

Sure. I'll leave you to it.

Start climbing.

Are you okay?

Don't trust the rope
when you climb a wall.

What else am I supposed to trust
besides this rope?

Your arms and legs.

There's no point in having a rope

if you don't stand on your own.

Focus and climb to the top.

I won't catch you if you fall again.

To my beloved family

I didn't know
Taewon had a place like this.

Isn't the night view amazing?

This is a secret place only I knew about.

It's my welcome present for the newbie.

Thank you.

Oh, right. Did you write up a will?

Sorry? A will?

Has it been a month
since you came to Taewon Fire Station?

Yes, that's right.

If it's been a month, write a will

and keep it somewhere
deep inside your locker.

Why?

So your colleagues can find it

in case you don't make it back.

Do I have to anticipate
that kind of situation, too?

You'll understand
after being a firefighter for a year.

To Seol

Dear Seol…

Dear Seol,

If there ever comes a day
when I don't make it out of a fire

and you end up reading this,

I'd just be relieved by the fact that
you weren't caught in the fire with me.

We've identified what was
in Officer Bong's stomach and esophagus.

Normal hydrocarbons, minerals, oils,
organic fatty acids, resin,

and paraffin.

All of which make up a candle.

How did a candle get into his body?

If it was forced through his mouth,
traces of the perpetrator would remain.

The perpetrator's DNA
could have remained on the skin.

However, the skin's epidermis
was completely carbonized by the fire,

so it's impossible to detect.

We can't determine
how it entered the body by autopsy alone.

Why and how did a candle

end up inside his body

just before death?

We'll be able to solve the case
once we figure that out.

Did you find something?

See you later, Ms. Yun.

I lost track of him
while tailing him the night

before the simultaneous fires. But…

Why did you have to lose track of him
the night before?

That's why I tracked him
using cell towers the next morning

and got our two youngest members
to follow him.

So we got something. Take a look.

This was taken exactly 30 minutes
before the warehouse fire broke out.

There's a good chance he's the arsonist.

It will be difficult to extend
your stay of execution any longer.

I'm sorry, Father.

I…

deserve to die.

I'll live a life without sin

from now on.

Father.

As your son,

Ma Taehwa,

I ask that you watch over me.

Can we please get a move on now?

Hold on, let me talk to him.

Oh, my dear Father…

Father, Father…

Father, my dear Father…

Father!

-Let's go.
-Please wait.

Father, you're watching me, right?

You hear me, don't you?

Under the sky

My wife and children are gone,

All the pain of giving birth

Emergency transport
Ministry of Justice

My stomach!

What happened? What's wrong?

Could we stop to use the restroom, please?

Stop by a restroom first.

The second stall at Yoonsung Rest Area.

I left a present…

from overseas.

It causes your kidneys
to shut down within 30 minutes.

Are you done yet?

We have received news
that Ma Taehwa,

a murderer who was returning to prison
after his stay of execution expired,

suffered acute kidney failure

and was rushed to a nearby hospital.

How's his condition?

-Not good.
-Not good?

Take him inside, quickly!

They say culprits always return
to the scene of the crime.

I'm just joking.

I thought that by coming here,

I would be able to solve the problem
that Officer Bong Dojin left behind,

but it's proving to be difficult.

According to the statement
made by Majung Station's chief,

there was a second explosion
while they were putting out the fire.

The estimated time of explosion
was about an hour after the fire started.

All arsonists leave the scene
after starting the fire.

That's human instinct.

In that case,
how was the second explosion set off?

If it was an hour
into putting out the fire,

we would be inside extinguishing embers
after having suppressed the big flames.

Also, the first ignition point was
at the easternmost part of the building,

but the second explosion
occurred in the west,

on the opposite side.

That means these two ignition points
were intentionally set up.

The missing link
between the two ignition points.

Missing Link: Unavailable information
required to solve a problem

Wouldn't that be…

this candle?

A distinctive combustive property
of candles

is you can control the combustion time
according to the material and size.

That's why the term "sleeper fire" is used

since a fire or explosion is induced
at a certain period of time

after lighting the fire.

A candle lasted an hour

between the two explosions?

The problem is,

how do we prove this?

What would Dojin have done
in this situation?

You two are already here.

I could use a little help.

I believe we're all thinking
the same thing.

Gasoline

Let's say we're reconstructing the fire.

So shall we reconstruct the fire now?

Taewon Fire Station

Detective Jin said
he was sending over a warrant.

A warrant?

Did you already find
the arsonist's address?

What is this?

What's wrong?

Let's see.

We've identified a key suspect
in the serial arson.

Who is it?

Two weeks before
the serial arson took place,

as if conducting a preliminary survey,
this person's phone signal was present

at Dochoon Villa, Mijoong Apartments,
and the hotdog truck.

Crucially, this person was seen
at the Jungmil Trade warehouse

exactly half an hour before the fire

by a detective
from National Office of Investigation.

I heard you got to the site late
on the day of the fires.

Am I right?

-Yes, but…
-What are you trying to say?

Are you trying to say
our chief committed arson?

Her phone signal was present
because she was there to put out the fire.

Then how was she there
before they happened?

Only the culprit knew
about the location at that time.

Beeswax

Starting candle-making
with different components.

Granulated wax, 133.3°F.

Beeswax, 130.3°F.

Beeswax has
the lowest melting point.

Crystal palm wax, 141.3°F.

Low-melting paraffin, 134.1°F.

Mid-melting paraffin, 146.8°F.

Lastly, high-melting paraffin, 157.8°F.

High-melting paraffin has
the highest melting point

among these candles.

We'll make candles of various thicknesses
using different containers.

Ms. Yun,

here are the analysis results of
the fire accelerant detected in the body.

The GC/MS test detected kerosene
and gasoline in the blood.

The accelerant must have been a mixture
of kerosene and gasoline then.

If we experiment
with this accelerant,

it could cause a big fire.

We'll need to set fires
in order to reconstruct it properly.

I'll get some people to put out the fires.

Pouring the accelerant,
a 5:5 mixture of kerosene and gasoline.

Preparing the candles.

Soy wax

I'll place the soy wax candles
into their respective containers.

Shall we begin?

I'll light them up in order.

Raising surrounding temp
to recreate the situation

after the first fire.

The soy wax candles have failed
to complete combustion.

The beeswax candle
in the 20 L water bottle

has failed to complete combustion.

If the candle melts
by radiant heat first,

it won't last an hour.

Or if the container
with the accelerant melts first,

it won't last, either.

The candle must have a melting point
that can withstand the radiant heat,

and the container with the accelerant
must also be able to withstand fire.

But the investigation of the warehouse
yielded no signs of accelerant containers.

That's why it's difficult.

The container has to hold out
until the candle burns completely

but must completely burn away

and not remain as evidence
after the explosion.

This is the last one.

Only the high-melting paraffin candle
in a gas can is left.

The high-melting paraffin candle
paired with the gas can

align with the criteria.

There would be no trace of it left
had it been full of accelerant.

How long did it take?

One hour.

Gas cans that carry military-grade oil

are made of plastic for easy transport,

but they are made of special materials

that are fire-resistant
to prevent ignition by oil vapors.

It's perfect
for setting a delayed fire.

I think I know now.

Dojin would have known
as soon as he saw it.

He would have known
that candles and flammable materials

were used to control the ignition time.

What is all this?

Military-grade

The fire is starting back up!

What should we do, sir?

-Let's go put it out!
-Yes, sir!

I think we need
to go back in.

-Let's go!
-Yes, sir!

You take the right.
You go to the left.

They'll all die
if that thing explodes.

I have to put it out.

I don't have much time.

I have to grab the evidence

before it all disappears.

I have to protect the evidence.

You could have
just come out, Dojin.

Dojin.

No, don't take off your mask.

Don't take it off.

I have to protect the evidence.

If Dojin hadn't extinguished
the candles,

it would have exploded on time.

Then there would have been
many more casualties.

Dojin ate the candle…

you found in his esophagus.

He left evidence to let us know
that the time of the fire was fabricated.

He kept it in the safest place he could,

inside his own body.

It wasn't homicide or an accident.

It was one firefighter's sacrifice
to save everyone.

That's the truth behind his death.

Hello?

Chief Dokgo Soon?

I lost my phone recently.

A few days later, the crew found it
outside the fire station.

I never thought it would have
something to do with the serial arsonist.

And why were you at the warehouse
exactly 30 minutes before the fire?

I went to pick up an item
that someone had left there.

What kind of item?

It belonged to my late mother-in-law.

Is that right?

But of all places…

My mother-in-law used to live in the area.

She was a native of Taewon.

What do you think you're doing?
We're with a suspect.

Chief Dokgo Soon…

is not the arsonist.

-She may be an accomplice.
-There's no accomplice.

The simultaneous arsons were done
by one person.

The answer to
the simultaneous fires was in the candle

found inside Officer Bong Dojin.

What do you mean
the answer was in the candle?

The combustion time of a candle
can control the timing of a fire.

The safest Taewon,
respected and beloved Taewon Police

The culprit delayed the fire with candles,

setting up simultaneous fires.

He set up a mechanism
in the warehouse's southeast corner

for the first ignition

and a delayed ignition device
in the far west for the second explosion.

And while the candles were burning,

he leisurely went to the shopping center

and started another fire.

This was how he was able to start
simultaneous fires without an accomplice.

So depending on how long
the candle can burn,

it's possible to set a fire
five or six hours beforehand.

Chief Dokgo, who was in the warehouse
30 minutes before the fire,

has an alibi as well.

Candle found in the body

Let's catch this bastard.

Otherwise,

I don't think I can face Dojin later on.

The NFS is currently
running an analysis on the candle.

Each manufacturer makes candles
with different core materials,

thermal energy storage,
and combustion characteristics.

We'll be able to find the manufacturer
if we carefully separate the components.

Understood.

I'll analyze the wick
and paraffin separately.

Dojin, help me!

Dojin!

The grave of Bong Dojin

Ministry of National Defense

I think the recent serial arson
and detonator theft cases are related.

That's enough.

Commander.

It was ruled as simple theft,
so what nonsense is this?

Also, what do the recent arson cases
have to do with this?

Didn't I tell you to keep an eye
on this bastard?

Hey, get it together.

If you ignore my opinion yet again,

I won't let it slide.

What are you going to do then?

How dare you threaten me.

Move, you bastard.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

I'll let you know if anything happens.

Military-grade

It's a special candle
used in religious ceremonies.

It's a type of high-melting paraffin wax
with the highest melting point,

so not many places manufacture it.

We've found the manufacturer.

It's Hyangchun Candle Factory
in Yongcheon-ri, Paju.

-All right, let's go.
-Okay.

Do you like Seol that much?

What are you saying?

You've been busted, punk.

Was it that obvious?

Hey, she said my heart
was as small as her fist.

Can't I like someone
who revived my dead heart?

I'm going to confess my feelings to Seol.

Let's just play fair.

I'm not trying to one-up you,
so don't misunderstand.

Hello, Ms. Anna.

I brought some of Dojin's belongings
from the station.

I was wondering if I could get the code
to his front door to drop them off.

Sure. I'll send it over text.

Doha.

Doha, I'm sorry.

We specialize in large candles,

so we use high-melting paraffin
as the main ingredient.

-Up this way, please.
-Okay.

Here's a customer
who ordered extra-large candles.

It took a long time to make them

since he wanted a specific size.

What was the specified size?

There were two types.
One that could burn for five hours

and one that would burn one hour longer,
so six hours.

-It's him. Exactly one hour apart.
-Do you have his contact information?

I have his shipping address.
I have to look for it though.

We're in a hurry,
so please find it quickly.

Yes, of course.

It's ten years ago today.

I swear I've seen him before.

Maybe not?

Get the arrest team ready
for when we get the address.

I found it.

Here's the address.

Detective, look at this.

-Something's weird about the address.
-What?

The address is 38 Muyeong-dong.
It's Unit 304 at Dochoon Villa.

Isn't Dochoon Villa
the first serial arson location?

Yes, it was very hectic
with everyone being evacuated.

-Hurry!
-Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Hold on a second.

Anna, could you ID someone real quick?

I found it.

I sent you a photo just now.

-Show me the photo.
-Okay.

-What happened?
-We've picked up

the detonator's GPS signal.

We have information
on the suspected arsonist.

His name is Yang Sangman.
Male, 57 years old. Currently unemployed.

The serial arsonist's next target
has been identified.

We require immediate assistance.

No, don't!

The gas can and the device on the door

-are connected to each other.
-We're from the EOD.

This is an IED.
The bubble inside the cylinder moves

and activates the fuse wire,

which triggers it to explode instantly.

Get everyone out!

There's 1 minute and 30 seconds left.

Yang Sangman!
