[The show is an adapted fiction based on stories of National Park Rangers.]

[All characters, events, regions,]

[organizations depicted in the show are fictitious.]

It was you? Have you been killing people all this time?

Why are you here?

[I've waited for nearly an hour,]

[but he's neither showing up nor answering my call.]

He said you were to meet him there.

[All the victims were from Black Bridge Village.]

[You mean the people on this list are dying one by one?]

Please keep this a secret from Woong-soon.

Woong-soon? Why?

He was also from Black Bridge Village.

[Someone who knows the villagers better than anyone else.]

Are you a stalker?

[He's the prime suspect.]

I heard it's Jangsaeng bellflower root season.

[Come back tomorrow.]

[Before 5:30 p.m. tomorrow,]

[please install a video camera at Seokyi Cliff in Dowon Valley.]

[Someone might die there tomorrow.]

[I saw it again.]

Corporal Kim's the criminal.

[Warning: Bear Frequenting Area]

[Episode 15]

Stop!

Wait.

Gosh...

Don't touch your eyes!

Wait.

-Are you okay? -Why did you do that?

I'm sorry, I thought you were a bear...

And that's bear spray?

[Warning: Bear Frequenting Area]

Didn't you...

Didn't you know...

this is a restricted area?

I'm so, so sorry.

I know I shouldn't be here, but I really had to.

-Do you need my ID? -Yes.

Yes, please.

-Take this. -Okay.

-My gosh. -Be careful!

Have a seat while you write my ticket. You work so hard...

-Should we? -Hey!

I can't see. You try.

-Are you sure this is your ID? -Sorry?

-Is that you in that photo? -Gosh, give that to me.

-Where do you live? -What?

Where...

I'm Kang Seung-ah from Seocho-gu.

[Kang Seung-ah]

Be careful.

[Restricted]

What are you doing?

Oh, hello.

Why aren't you saying hello?

-Sorry to cause you trouble. -Yes, well...

We entered the restricted area, didn't we?

You do know the rules.

Here, have some.

No, we're fine.

Rangers work so hard. You should take care of your health.

No, it's all right.

Take it.

It's good for you.

Well, thank you.

-Hey, you're here. -Yes.

What's this? Did you all get that, too?

Some family gave it to us while we were patrolling the trail.

-You got one, too? -Yes.

Do we look that weak? Why did they do that?

You kind of do.

Let me have one.

Take it regularly.

-Here, try it. -Give me one.

Is it good?

Mom!

You're here.

Our son, Hyun-jo,

worked at a great place.

We should let him go.

Let's...

let him go now.

The day after tomorrow...

They've decided to remove his life support.

[I'm sorry I couldn't give you good news.]

Excuse me...

Is there a ranger named Seo Yi-gang?

You must be her.

Pleasure to meet you.

I'm Hyun-jo's sister, Kang Seung-ah.

[Jirisan National Park Baemsagol Ranger Station]

I went to Black Bridge Valley today.

Oh, I knew it was a restricted area,

but I really had to go.

I paid the fine, too.

I saw Baektogol

and the wildflower habitat below Bidam Cliff.

Too bad I only saw them in photos,

but they were as nice as I heard.

Did Hyun-jo talk about those places?

Yes.

And about Sangsuri Rock, too.

He said that's where he first saved someone.

What else did he say?

He talked often of you.

That's why...

I've been hoping to see you.

Thank you so much for everything.

[National Park Hiking Information App]

What happened?

You said 5:30 at Seokyi Cliff.

But the victim died at Guseung Cliff at 2.

The name of the victim that the police confirmed was Jang Hak-su.

He was a resident of Black Bridge Valley.

Was he also killed by the murderer?

Answer me.

Tell us, Yi-gang.

If you really trust us...

This man.

Why do you keep asking about this ghost?

What?

You really saw him on the mountain?

How many times do I have to tell you?

He was in a white suit, covered in blood.

You got your answer. Don't come again.

Black Bridge Village.

What happened there in 1991?

What do you mean?

Jang Hak-su's dead.

People from that village keep dying.

Please tell us what happened.

I don't know what you're asking.

Nothing happened in that village.

Don't ever come here again.

Are you sure Hyun-jo's on that mountain?

The man we saw earlier isn't the only one who saw him.

The man who died today also saw him. So did Da-won.

And myself.

-No way. -This really is impossible.

[Integrated Disaster and Safety Operation]

Da-won filmed this before she died.

Hyun-jo's still up there.

Even after the horrible accident,

he's remained alone up there.

To tell me...

To tell us something.

Asking us to save people.

[Year 2019]

[Year 2019]

Oh, right. Hyun-jo's been a bit weird these days.

Why?

He shows up injured after every day off.

Maybe he went hiking.

No. He's been spacing out, too. It's strange.

Does he need money? Is he going herb collecting?

Enough nonsense. Tell me about the workshop schedule.

We can just copy last year's.

Last year was your idea.

-The exact same thing? -Yes.

Always the same...

[Mount Jirisan Accident Maneuver Map]

[Deokseoryeong, Black Bridge Valley]

[How have you been?]

[Yi-gang]

[Isn't tomorrow your day off? Let's meet up.]

[Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.]

[Snow clouds are forming in the west sea.]

[There will be a lot of snow in the southwestern regions.]

[Currently, there's a heavy snow watch in Gwangju and 16 nearby cities.]

[There will be over 10cm of snowfall in the Mount Jirisan area.]

[Crazy Guy]

Yes, it's me.

[I don't think I can make it today. I'll call you later.]

Are you on the mountain? Where are you going?

[I'll tell you when it's all done.]

[Bidam Shelter]

[-Bidam Shelter.] -It's me.

Did Hyun-jo tell you where he's going today?

[He grabbed his mountain gear and suddenly left.]

Did he say where he's going?

[No.]

[But he was searching for information on Black Bridge Valley.]

[Warning: Heavy Snowfall All Trails Closed]

[Warning: Heavy Snowfall All Trails Closed]

[Kang Hyun jo]

Hyun-jo, where are you?

Yi-gang!

Hang in there.

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.

On top of the cornice...

Someone left a pole on purpose.

Hyun-jo, you know...

Hang in there.

I’ll be right back.

Haedong station.

We are at Black Bridge Valley.

[Is that you, Hyun-jo?]

Yi-gang's injured!

[I can't hear you well. Where are you at?]

Black Bridge Valley!

Hurry! It's urgent!

[Hyun-jo stayed on the mountain even as he was dying.]

And pursued the murderer.

It's our turn now.

These are the case reports on the Black Bridge Valley victims.

The first one was from the fall of 2017.

Sergeant Kim Hyeon-su died in Baektogol.

[He was Hyun-jo's colleague]

and also the son of Kim Nam-sik who died in the 1995 flood.

[Kim Nam-sik]

Seo Geum-ja.

[Lee Jong-gu.]

[Kim Jin-deok.]

[Granny Geum-rye and Choi Il-man.]

[Incident Report]

After Hyun-jo and I got into an accident, more villagers died.

Choi Gi-yeong died in Oerae Valley this February.

Choi Gi-yeong was the son of Choi Sang-gyeong,

who lived in Black Bridge Valley Village.

And then, Jang Min-hui who got into an accident in Mujin Valley.

As you know, he was Granny Geum-rye's son.

Then it's Yang Geun-tak.

[Wildlife Ecology Evaluators for Mount Jirisan Cable Car]

The one who pushed for the cable car project in 1991.

And today...

Jang Hak-su was murdered, too.

[Jang Hak-su]

All these people died on the mountain...

So many died, and yet...

We didn't even notice.

We only need to catch the murderer.

Wait.

Kim Seong-guk...

is Woong-soon's father.

What about Se-wook's father?

Didn't you say he lived in the village, too?

Se-wook's father passed away when he was young.

[Kim Seong-guk]

He died before the migration project as far as I know.

Only these three are left.

[Lee Jae-geun. Heo Jin-ok. Hwang Gil-yong]

Plus, Sol...

and Woong-soon.

[Karaoke, Fried Chicken]

[Karaoke, Fried Chicken]

[We must find out what happened]

[in Black Bridge Valley in 1991.]

[Police]

Hello?

National park ranger! I visited once before.

Anyone there?

Nobody?

Excuse me!

Anyone there?

Oh, hey.

-Where's Woong-soon? -It's his day off.

How is he these days?

Anything strange?

What?

Why do you ask that?

Well...

He's been acting differently lately.

It must be because of his mother.

She's been in the hospital for a year now.

Apparently, her condition's gotten worse recently.

[Kim Woong-soon]

[Woong-soon]

[Danger of Falling]

[Do Not Enter]

[Medicine Room]

How have you been?

I hope you're well.

I'm sure that's what Yang-sun would've wanted.

I'm sorry.

I should have visited more often.

But why do you ask about Black Bridge Valley?

I would like to know what happened

during the cable car project in 1991.

My husband and I were running a restaurant elsewhere,

so I don't know the exact story.

My father-in-law probably knows...

But he's in great shock after what happened to Yang-sun.

He can barely recognize his family now.

I'll see you later, then.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry for her.

Heo Jin-ok...

passed away?

Yes. She died of cancer last year.

What a tragic life.

She didn't have anyone left in the family, so I arranged her funeral.

Have you heard anything about Black Bridge Valley?

No. I've never heard of such a place.

-It was a village on Mount Jirisan. -Mount Jirisan...

Oh, the monk there came to the funeral, though.

The monk?

[Main Temple]

You mean she came here every year to hang that lantern?

That's right.

Why did she do that? What's her relationship to him?

She never told me.

She only said to herself

that she regrets it a lot,

That's the only thing she said.

[Kim Jae-gyeong]

[Main Temple]

[Mount Jirisan National Park Gyeongnam Office]

[Mount Jirisan National Park Gyeongnam Office]

Hey, Sol!

Sir.

[Forest Fire Intervention Vehicle]

Long time no see.

I thought you transferred to the headquarters?

Oh, that...

Can I talk to you for a second?

Sure.

-Black Bridge Village? -Yes.

Do you have any idea what happened in that village in 1991?

Not really.

I don't remember it well since I was too young.

Not even a small thing?

I'm sorry.

All right.

But why do you ask?

It's nothing.

Call me if you remember anything.

Sure.

-Goodbye. -Take care.

[Kim Woong-soon, Black Bridge Valley at 3]

[Black Bridge Valley at 3]

[I couldn't meet Hwang Gil-yong.]

[I also talked to Sol, but he doesn't remember anything.]

[I talked to Gu-yeong,]

[but he said he couldn't talk to Yang-sun's grandfather]

[because he's too ill to speak.]

[Gu-yeong went to meet some retired rangers who worked at the time.]

[Perhaps they remember something.]

I'll look further into the cable car business.

Okay.

[Mount Jirisan Development Committee]

-Hi, sir. -Hello.

Hi, I'm a park ranger like you were.

-I came to ask you some questions. -Sure.

I know it's a long time ago, but in 1991...

Do you know anything about the villagers of Black Bridge Valley?

-Black Bridge Village? -Yes.

Well...

I do remember some of them

from back then.

Is that so?

About Black Bridge Valley...

Any small thing would help.

Do you remember anything at all?

If we find out what happened there,

we can clear your charges.

Hyun-jo also asked me about the village.

I already told him everything I know.

We don't have time.

They're letting Hyun-jo go tomorrow.

I know even if we catch the murderer,

it won't bring Hyun-jo back to life.

But still...

I want to capture the criminal that Hyun-jo really wanted to catch.

The missing case report

for Sol's mother who was also the wife of the mayor

is in my residence.

It was the first case I took, so I've been holding on to it.

So as not to forget.

It might be of help,

so take a look.

Thank you.

Yi-gang.

You said the murderer uses the mountain to kill people.

That's right.

The answer is on the mountain.

You know the mountain better than anyone else.

You'll surely be able to find the answer.

[Missing Case Report Deokseoryeong]

[Location: Black Bridge Valley, Deokseoryeong]

[Victim: Kim Seong-suk]

[Incident Summary]

[1st Search: Bisung Stream, Deokseoryeong 2nd Search: Black Bridge Valley]

Hey.

I went to the Jirisan Development Committee.

There were document files from the 1991 cable car project,

and something stood out.

Didn't you say the residents were against the cable car project at first?

And that's why Yang Geun-tak put the dead animal in the well,

to kick the residents out?

But...

[Cable Car Construction Agreement Form]

That wasn't true.

[Cable Car Construction Agreement Form]

[I, Hwang Gil-yong agree to the construction of cable cars...]

[Name: Kim Nam-sik]

[Name: Kim Nam-sik]

[Name: Jang Hak-su]

[Name: Lee Jae-geun]

It's not just a couple of them.

The entire village agreed to it.

[Name: Kim Jae-gyeong]

Every single one.

[Signee: Kim Jae-gyeong Representative: Yang Geun-tak]

[You mean she came here every year to hang that lantern?]

They were very close to launching,

but the government didn't permit it, and that's why it went down the drain.

The villagers suddenly changed their minds.

It's not like the compensation went up.

[Lee Geum-rye]

[Choi Sang-kyung]

[Kim Jin-deok]

[Choi Il-man]

[What do you know, kid?]

My family's been collecting herbs and hunting animals on that mountain

since my grandfather's grandfather.

They never had any reason to remain here...

What?

The wildlife protection law was reinforced in the eighties.

And the national park's enforcement became strict, along with it.

Snake hunters and poachers must have been heavily impacted.

Not only that.

The national park legislation was also reinforced around that time,

so people couldn't easily collect products from the mountain.

It must have been hard for the herb collectors.

They probably wanted to leave.

But...

But not beekeeping.

[Name: Kim Jae-gyeong Occupation: Beekeeper]

Right.

The government took various measures

to preserve native species of bees at the time.

They gave financial support

and planted trees like chestnut trees that produced nectar.

Some wanted to leave,

but some wanted to stay.

But that can't be a reason for murder.

You're right.

There's got to be something else.

I found out why Lee Se-wook's father died.

One of the retired rangers remembers.

He died while the cable car project was in progress.

How did he die?

In a car accident. It was a hit-and-run.

Did the fugitive get caught?

It happened at a path only the villagers took,

so they suspected the villagers, but they never caught the guy.

There has to be a record if it was a hit-and-run.

And how will you do that? We're not police.

He's right, Yi-gang.

We can't investigate any further.

Let's tell the police everything we've found.

Tell them what?

Even if they believe us, which is unlikely,

it'll take a very long time.

So what are you going to do?

[Keeping citizens safe, Damsung Police]

You're back again?

You know, it seems like there's a car accident outside.

What?

Where did she see an accident?

Wait...

[No Smoking Building]

What?

What are you doing?

Unlock the door, right now.

What are you doing? Open up!

Open the door!

What on earth are you doing?

Unlock the door right now!

Hey! What are you doing?

I said open up!

What do you think you're doing?

Hey!

Seriously.

[Black Bridge Village at 3]

Can I come in?

Here.

Thanks.

What brings you here in this hour?

Are you...

also here because of Black Bridge Village?

Yes.

Like I told Il-hae earlier,

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

They probably didn't mean to go that far at first.

Coincidence met coincidence,

and it rolled into a snowball.

What are you talking about?

If one household disagreed,

the cable car business couldn't be executed.

Because it had to be unanimous.

That's why they made a choice that they shouldn't have.

[Heo Jin-ok]

-Seriously... -Going through.

What happened?

In here.

It's him! The cable car man.

He messed with the well

to kick us out of here!

What do we do now?

Even after what happened to the well, Jae-gyeong hasn't changed his mind.

Should we tell him honestly and convince him?

[Lee Jong-gu]

He'll never cave.

[Choi Il-man]

He also got a large amount of beekeeping financial aid last month.

[Hwang Gil-yong, Kim Jin-deok]

Should we just give up?

Then how will you pay your bills?

We're not allowed to catch or collect anything on the mountain.

If we're going to start something down the mountain, we need the compensation.

I'll try to convince Sol's mom.

The rest of you, please get Woong-soon's, Gi-yeong's,

Yang-sun's, and Hyeon-su's parents,

Hak-su and Geum-rye to sign the agreement form.

Okay.

We need to talk.

What is it?

Nothing complicated. Convince your husband.

-What? -About the cable car business.

Let's take the money and leave here.

What are you talking about?

This is our hometown. How can we leave?

You say that because you're already getting support from the government.

Do you think this is about money?

My husband's trying to protect the mountain.

I get that, but we have to survive somehow.

Whatever.

If you want to continue this discussion,

you can talk directly to my husband.

Come on!

-This is for the greater good. -Let's talk for a sec.

Wait.

Let's talk!

We just want to talk!

Why aren't you listening to us?

I don't want to hear anymore.

-Step aside. -Where are you going?

-Move! -Let's talk!

-Leave me alone! -Just for a second.

I said, let's talk!

Why won't you listen to me?

What the...

Sol's mom. Are you all right?

She's dead...

What are we going to do?

Should we call the police?

Are you out of your mind?

No one else was here.

No one will know if we shut up.

-Understood? -Darn it.

Don't ever...

Don't ever tell anyone.

Where are you going?

I saw your mother's missing case report,

and there was something I couldn't understand.

Your mother was found on the way down the mountain,

not on the way home.

[Some thought]

[she was lost as she hurt her head,]

[and some believed she was trying to go to the hospital.]

But she could've headed somewhere else.

The police station, for instance.

What are you trying to say?

That's not all.

[Deokseoryeong Hit-and-Run Case]

The victim was Lee Pil-seok.

Se-wook's father.

He had been your father's beekeeping partner at the time.

The suspect was Woong-soon's father, Kim Seong-guk.

He got the bumper replaced on his truck that day.

[Condolences]

Who is it?

Do you want to get caught?

I... I'm sorry...

[Kim Seong-guk Woong-soon's father]

I feel bad for Se-wook's dad,

but he's already dead.

We must live on.

If not for that thing, the police won't be able to take you.

We'll finish this up.

Why don't you...

fill this out for me?

[Cable Car Construction Agreement Form]

[The police searched for the old bumper but couldn't find it.]

There was no security camera or eyewitness,

so the investigation just ended there.

This is the agreement form Woong-soon's father signed.

I don't know if it's a coincidence,

but he signed it on the day of the accident.

Why are you telling me all this?

It wasn't the victim's phone.

It was the murderer's.

You said you don't remember because you were too young.

That's not true.

You remember everything,

the selfishness of people who gave up coexisting with the mountain.

Because of that selfishness, the village community fell apart,

and your mother and Se-wook's father died.

That's why...

you and Se-wook started taking revenge together.

What are you doing here?

[Killing the villagers one by one.]

[Killing Da-won who was innocent.]

[Someone noticed our plan.]

[I'll find out who he is. Don't worry.]

[Just finish what you need to do.]

Whatever you're looking for,

I hope you find it.

[Kang Hyun-jo]

Black Bridge Valley!

Hurry up!

[And attempting to kill Hyun-jo to cover up your crimes.]

[The murderer who's been killing people on the mountain]

disguised as accidents...

is you.

[Jirisan]

Do you want me to kill you?

[You were right.]

[He's near Deokseoryeong.]

[This is our last chance. We must find the evidence.]

[I have to go one last time.]

[He led us there on purpose.]

[You came.]

[This is the last clue that Hyun-jo left.]

[If the mountain's on your side,]

[try and stop me.]

[It can't end like this.]

Everyone who's seen me died.

[It's to wipe you out, all of you.]

[I'll kill you up on the mountain like the others.]
