The characters, places, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious
Child actors were filmed in safe situations
Are you okay?
Sir, can you hear me?
Fire caused by flammable liquids
or gasses such as gasoline, petroleum, or oil
Fire hydrant
- Hook up the hose to the fire hydrant. - Yes, sir.
They had to park the car here.
We need another hose!
There's no time for that.
- Just pass it through. - Here's the hose.
Got it.
Sorry, coming through!
Sorry!
The arsonist had a janitor uniform for the shopping center.
He started that one too. It's a serial arson.
Chief! There's been a collapse!
I've lost radio contact with Officer Song!
What? Seol didn't make it out?
What? Song Seol?
Step on it.
This is an emergency.
A firefighter and a civilian are buried underneath a collapsed building.
Send backup.
I repeat.
A firefighter and a civilian are buried underneath a collapsed building.
Please dispatch the RIT.
I repeat, please dispatch the RIT.
This is Song Seol of Taewon Emergency Rescue.
I'm buried under a collapsed building.
The air pressure is 1700 psi.
In need of air bags and air supply apparatus.
Are you okay?
I'm a paramedic.
Are you okay?
I'm a paramedic.
Are you all right?
My leg… My leg really hurts.
What happened to my leg?
Please hang on for a bit.
I'll try to push this off.
- Guys! - Why did you come so late?
We need to hurry.
- Want to see pictures of the band? - Yes.
What's this?
There was a huge fire at the Muyeong underground shopping center.
They have awesome spicy fish cakes.
- We can't have it anymore? - It's so good.
- This is so annoying. - What do we do now?
I barely got a lousy delivery call.
I'll bring spicy fish cakes.
Don't skip your lessons and come home early.
Okay
Nari, aren't you coming? We have to go to Inkigayo to see the band.
- Hurry up! - Let's just ditch her.
- Okay. Wait up. - Hurry up, will you?
I'm the chief of RIT, Park Hoyeon.
As of now, I will be in charge of the firefighter rescue mission.
How are things currently?
The big fire is out.
The Muyeong squad is putting out the rest of the fire
and the Taewon squad is focusing on rescue.
The police will help with the rescue, besides those controlling the crowd.
Until the fire is fully under control, only firefighters can go in.
Why should that matter when it comes to saving people?
We need to send in as many men as possible.
Where will you search?
Do you know where the two are?
Draw up a grid around the collapse site,
and set up a sound sensor.
Yes, sir!
If we turn off the radios and crank up the sound sensor,
we can detect the faintest sounds made by survivors.
Where there is sound, there are people.
Don't miss a single area
and set them up all along the approximate location.
- I'll take the center! - Okay!
Seoha, set up a sound sensor on the left.
Yes, sir.
The rest of you, set them up here.
He's bleeding too much.
I need to stop the bleeding first.
This will be enough to disinfect it.
Can I cauterize it with something?
Cauterize: Stopping the bleeding and disinfecting by burning the wound
What are you doing?
I'm stopping the bleeding.
Why would you do that with a chopstick?
No.
There's no other way.
Then should I leave you to keep bleeding?
No! Don't do it!
You shouldn't do that with stuff that's just lying around!
If I don't do anything now, you could actually die.
- There's no time! - Seriously!
What's your name, sir?
Choi Doojun.
Okay, Mr. Choi Doojun.
This might hurt, and I know you're afraid.
But the rescue team will be here soon. Just hang in there until then.
Okay?
But still, this is…
Will you trust me, sir?
Unread: Okay
Hurry up.
Fire at Muyeong Underground Shopping Center
"Dad"?
What's this? I thought your dad was dead.
Uh…
Are you seeing an older guy for money?
Give it a rest. You should think about your health.
Why is it today of all days?
This is so annoying.
Stop the car.
- Switch seats with me. - What?
Ah.
Sensor one is in position.
We're setting things up by the stairway entrance.
Sensor two is in position. How about the others?
Sensor three is in position.
We're almost done.
Please hurry.
Thank you.
Report back on the sound sensors.
We've set up two sets in six places. They're ready to go.
Turning them on now.
Cut the radios and stop any movements.
Turn up the reception all the way.
Shoot it.
Here we go.
One more time.
We have sound from A-3, the southeast sensor.
Rescue team, start a secondary search by sensor A-3.
We can't control the fire.
It'll take some time.
- Turn up the water pressure to 210 psi! - Then we'll run out of water soon.
We have to put this out and go over to the other side!
- Turn it up! - Yes, sir.
Are you sure it's done?
Why does it keep hurting?
What? Is something wrong?
The broken fibula keeps touching the blood vessel.
I think I'll have to perform traction.
Track… What?
To get the broken bone inside…
It's just a thing. Hang on.
I have to widen the incision for traction.
To do that…
- Jihoon! - Sir?
- Get the gas detector. - Yes, sir!
- I brought the gas detector. - All right.
We're by sensor three where we heard the sound.
We'll enter after checking for gas leaks.
The gas detector is reacting!
It's an LPG gas leak warning!
Oh, come on.
This is the site commander.
We have confirmed an LPG leak.
Determine the perimeter and close in on the danger zone.
What about the LPG?
Since LPG is heavier than air,
it sinks to the bottom when leaked.
There's a chance that it may have built up
where Officer Song and the civilian are buried.
And during the rescue,
there may be some sparks from breaking down concrete.
Are you saying it might explode?
Mr. Choi, you need to stay awake.
How old are you, sir?
I'm 45.
Tell me about your family.
A daughter… I have a daughter.
What's your daughter's name?
Nari. Her name is Choi Nari.
Nari. And how old is she?
She's 18.
If you want to see her again, you need to stay strong.
It might be better if I died.
Then she would qualify for welfare
and could go to college on special admission for low-income kids.
What?
She was born to a lousy dad
and couldn't even do what she wanted to do.
I couldn't do anything for her.
What should I do now, Nari?
Is he stealing the food he's delivering?
- What a nuisance. - Ouch, that's hot.
Should we report him?
Should we?
Hey, delivery guy!
What are you going to do about the soup that spilled in the elevator?
I'm sorry.
You should be ashamed.
I'm sorry.
My goodness.
I'm sorry. Daddy will go now.
What do you mean, you'll go now?
You need to hang in there for Nari's sake.
No.
An embarrassing dad like me is better off dead anyway.
Get it together.
Aren't you going to go back to Nari?
I'll disinfect it first.
- This will hurt. - No, no! Don't do it.
This is just the beginning.
Bear with me.
No, don't do it!
Are you crazy?
Don't you want to go out when the rescue team comes?
If we move you and your leg gets twisted, you'll have a massive bleed.
Do you want to die on the way to the hospital after being rescued?
No.
Help me. Please help me.
Think of Nari.
Please hang in there a bit more.
I'll do my absolute best.
I was so happy to come here
getting this delivery after going around in circles all day.
But what is this mess?
Why is my life in such a mess?
Mr. Choi, you can't fall asleep.
Mr. Choi. Wake up.
You can't fall asleep. Okay?
I'm sleepy. Don't bother me.
Whatever. Don't touch me.
I'm sleepy.
You can't fall asleep, Mr. Choi.
Wake up.
It's 1100 psi.
It's too low for two people to breathe at once.
At this rate, the air won't last us five minutes.
Dad
Why won't you pick up?
Seriously, you never do me any good all my life.
Wait!
- Officer, please take me with you. - Hey.
- Sir, please. - There's been a fire.
- No one can enter... - No!
My dad went in there for a delivery!
Come with me.
Let's go!
When is the nitrogen truck getting here?
It'll take 27 minutes to get through traffic.
Everyone, listen up.
Hold all rescue efforts and return to command.
I repeat. Hold all rescue efforts.
Hold what? What about Officer Song?
She hasn't come out yet, so why are we stopping the operation?
Until the nitrogen truck arrives...
Can't we look for another way in?
The firefighter inside...
Will you take responsibility if we lose more men by continuing?
Until the nitrogen truck arrives and lowers the LPG saturation,
evacuate the scene.
There's someone trapped inside!
What utter nonsense. I'm going in.
Jin Hogae!
You think you're a firefighter?
Don't get worked up.
Chief! What if we go in through the vents?
We're in front of the vents now.
Does it look okay?
Well…
Vents are not sturdy enough for the rescue team to go through.
You never know…
Everyone out.
We can get them out!
- Please let us go in! - Please, Chief!
- We can't leave like this. - How can we leave them?
Do you all want to die?
Excuse me. Is the civilian inside a delivery man?
We saw a motorcycle helmet earlier.
Was there a cat sticker on it?
Yes.
What do I do?
Please save my dad.
It's okay. It'll be fine.
Hey.
Excuse me.
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
Hey, wake up.
We need to get out together. Come on!
Over here! Help us!
We're still down here! Help!
Help!
Over here!
Help us!
We're still down here!
Help!
Help us!
Help!
Help us.
Somebody…
Help…
Name: Unknown 189 Gender: Female
Of course. I'll join you guys soon.
Dojin…
will come soon.
He said he would come.
We put out the big flames. Please take care of the rest.
We need to go over to the other site.
- Good work. - Keep up the good work!
Forward!
- Did you wrap everything up? - Yes, I did. But take a look at this.
Firefighter and civilian trapped under collapsed Muyeong Shopping Center
But this is where our team is at.
Yes.
- Call and find out what's going on. - Okay.
What do you think you're doing?
Stay here if you're scared. I'm going in.
This is an order. Stop.
- Get out of my way. - Detective Jin, it's dangerous.
Oxygen tanks.
If we can expel the gas with high pressure,
that will push out the LPG.
If we blast several tanks at once,
we can lower the LPG saturation.
I will take responsibility for this.
All hands, go in with oxygen tanks!
Restart the rescue!
Let's go!
- Did you get extra? - Yes, I did!
Why are you wearing that? Are you serious?
Why would you go in there?
Hey! Jin Hogae!
Shoot when you're ready! In one, two, three!
Shooting!
Checking the gas level.
Please, please…
Go down just a bit more. Just a bit.
It's going down! A bit more!
I'm out of air! Switch!
I'm out too! Switch!
I'm out too.
Is it going down?
We got it!
The LPG levels are safe now.
We can go in now!
Everyone, head in!
Don't let your guard down just because the LPG levels are down.
Bring the hydraulic support!
Coming.
- Start pumping! - Pumping!
That's good. The supports are in place now.
All right.
Cutting is complete!
- Inju. - Okay!
It's open!
The radio, Dongwoo!
We have an opening. Going in.
Seoha, do we have the medical kit?
We do.
Jihoon! Hand me the power cutter!
Here you go!
The path is blocked, Jihoon.
We have a cement wall ahead!
We'll bring in the endoscope camera.
Yes, ma'am!
I'll leave it here to you.
- Doha. - Yes.
Give them the camera.
- Right here. - Okay.
The camera is going in.
Understood.
Inju, here's the camera.
Okay.
Inju, are you going in?
Yes, I'm approaching the cement wall.
I don't see anything. We didn't get the wrong side, did we?
Look closely until you see something! Don't give up!
What was that?
Go back to where you were.
- Looks like it's a ladle. - No, not that. The long thing next to it.
It's a person. It's a person!
Jihoon, they must've found them!
- Enlarge it. - Yes, ma'am.
It's a person.
Mark the location! Let's find a way in toward them!
Yes, ma'am!
- Get a stretcher ready. - Yes, ma'am.
Dojin, no one is answering.
- Then let's get ready to go. - Okay.
Hey, Myeongpil.
How are things over there? My guys won't pick up.
Seol… Seol is buried underneath the rubble.
What? What do you mean?
Wait. I'll be right there.
- Hey, Kisoo! - Yes?
- Please wait, sir! - Sir!
We can't find our friend. He's gone.
We were playing hide-and-seek and Woohyuk came to hide here.
But we can't find him.
He ran so fast that we couldn't see him.
- Please, find Woohyuk. Please. - Please, find him.
Dojin, we should go for now.
- Please find Woohyuk. - We need to go to the shopping center.
- Please find Woohyuk. - Please.
Woohyuk is our best friend.
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you… ♪
- What's your friend's name? - Woohyuk.
- Are you sure he went that way? - Yes, we're sure.
Don't cry. I'll go get your friend.
Wait here.
Watch the kids.
Dojin!
It's okay. Come here.
I'm going in.
I'll be right back, so watch the kids there.
Be careful, Dojin. The structure will be weak.
Woohyuk!
Can you check their condition?
Not yet.
We'll let you know upon confirmation.
The stretcher is going in!
I will bring Seol back.
Take care of things here.
I'm at the collapsed site.
Inju, how is the situation?
It's blocked by debris!
Can you get through?
I'll have to. I'll get through no matter what!
Okay. Let's do this.
Woohyuk!
Where are you?
Woohyuk!
I'm with the fire department!
Woohyuk?
Woohyuk!
Answer me if you can hear me!
Let's go out together!
Woohyuk!
Found it.
Then he should be around here somewhere.
Woohyuk!
Kids, did you see your friend go in that way?
No, we didn't. But since we were playing hide-and-seek…
Then you never actually saw him going in.
Chief! We have a way through!
Wait. I'll go in first.
Yes, ma'am!
- Doha, follow me in. - Yes, ma'am.
Woohyuk!
Woohyuk.
Woohyuk?
Woohyuk!
A beating like a drum…
This might collapse.
Woohyuk!
Get out of there if you're done searching!
- Just a bit longer. - Dojin!
Woohyuk.
Are you Woohyuk?
It is you.
Put your shoe on, Woohyuk.
Let's get out of here.
I can't. I'm too scared.
I'm afraid of fire.
It'll be fine if you come with me.
Come on.
We found two people in need of rescue!
Doha, bring the stretcher in.
And Inju, get ready to carry them out.
Bringing in the stretcher!
This is the rescue team. Can you hear me?
Are you okay?
She's not breathing.
Doha, transfer him first.
Yes, ma'am.
Seol.
Seol!
Take slow breaths, sir.
Bringing out the first person on the stretcher!
- Hold the rope. - Yes, sir!
Pull the stretcher!
One, two!
Chief, the path might collapse.
Pull!
What are you doing? Pull!
Come on. Pull!
Pull!
One, two!
- Seoha, the blanket. Bring the blanket. - Yes!
Pull slowly.
One, two!
Pull harder!
It caught something.
Something is caught! Hurry!
The stretcher is caught on debris!
I can't push from my end!
- Detective Jin! - No!
Detective!
Pull back a little.
Got it.
One, two.
Push.
- Pull. - Okay.
Slowly. Pull slowly.
One, two!
- Pull! - One, two!
One, two!
We got her! Pull carefully.
Here they come!
- Let's go, Nari. - Dad.
Dad.
Dad!
Dad.
Dad!
What's with you? You're so annoying!
I couldn't buy…
the spicy fish cakes.
I'm never eating that again. Don't even bring that up.
Nari, you should get going.
There are a lot of people here.
That doesn't matter right now.
Don't ever take lousy deliveries from underground shopping centers, okay?
Okay.
You should come with us.
Let's go! Shut the door!
Officer Song is out too.
Detective Jin!
- Detective, are you okay? - I'm okay. Drive.
Okay.
Let's go!
Woohyuk, are you very scared?
Look at me. See?
Can you see me?
I'm a firefighter.
I'll keep you safe.
Do you think you can go out with me?
Good.
Let's put your shoe on.
Let's go.
Woohyuk, stick close to me.
Are you scared?
Wait here for a second.
That won't do.
Woohyuk.
Let's do this.
This thing that I'm wearing…
This is an armor.
You know what an armor is, right?
If you wear this, it doesn't feel hot at all.
If you wear this, it won't get hot.
Do you trust me?
All right.
Let's go.
Be careful.
Woohyuk, close your eyes and count to 100 starting now.
Ready, go.
Woohyuk, are you okay?
Are you hurt anywhere?
Wait right here for a second.
Kisoo, come to the west windows on the first floor.
Got it.
Kids, stay here and don't move. Okay?
Too high.
Here is too high as well.
All right, I could send him down through here.
All right.
Let's go, Woohyuk.
Woohyuk, can you run?
- Yes. - Then when I lower you,
you have to run as far as you can. Okay?
What about you?
I'm a firefighter. Firefighters don't get burned.
Let's go.
Raise your arms.
When you get down there, there will be another firefighter.
He'll catch you, so don't worry.
Okay?
Are you okay?
You'll follow me out, right?
Of course I will.
Let's go.
Kisoo!
Get ready to catch Woohyuk!
Just keep looking at me.
Don't look down.
One, two.
Plant your foot first. Slowly.
Your other foot. Good.
I'll be holding on. Don't worry.
Slowly. Dojin, go slowly.
There. Slowly.
There.
Good job. Are you okay?
Is he okay?
I got him. You should get out quickly.
- Here. - Woohyuk, run!
I got him!
You're not hurt, are you?
Woohyuk!
- Where were you? - We were looking for you!
Dojin, I have the kids. Get out now.
Dojin! What are you waiting for?
Dojin!
Kisoo.
There's a star-shaped flame here too.
What?
I'll go after checking this.
Kids.
You should move away from the building now.
Get out of the way. Please, please.
Out of the way!
Please, seriously…
Defibrillator.
Charge to 100 joules.
Clear.
Shock.
- Why won't she wake up? - Charge to 200.
Clear.
Shock.
If a person has an average life,
their heart beats around two billion times.
Of those two billion times,
roughly about 1,000 times would be my contribution.
She was exposed to carbon monoxide under a collapsed building.
Used the defibrillator three times as she didn't have any pulse.
We injected an ampoule of epi…
Detective, the site of the other fire was a warehouse for Jungmil Trade.
It's the company that imported the pipe cutters used by the arsonist.
Dojin is overseeing the scene right now.
Let's go.
Why didn't you find me in the refrigerator inside?
- Hey. - How could we ever find you in there?
You're alive thanks to me.
Good work, everyone. Let's wrap up.
The fire is starting back up!
I think we need to go back in.
Let's go!
You take the right. You go to the left.
Yes, sir!
Dojin isn't picking up.
Call the person who went with him.
Dojin.
You should take care of yourself.
Don't jump into fires like that.
Seol.
I'll come to you soon.
Everyone, stop!
The building might collapse.
- Everyone, fall out! - Fall out!
The building might collapse! Fall out!
This is the last time…
I'm getting involved.
Are you guys okay?
- Yes, I'm okay. - I'm okay, sir.
- I'm okay. - I'm okay.
Are you okay?
Chief, I think someone is in there.
- Get ready! - Yes, sir!
Before the shock of the recent serial arson fires
- has died down… - Goodness.
…there have been additional fires…
The police and firefighters
are investigating with the possibility
- that it was done by the same arsonist. - What?
They are looking through nearby CCTVs and interviewing people
to find clues…
In the Muyeong Underground Shopping Center fire today,
a paramedic went in to rescue a civilian
but was trapped under the collapsed building as well.
The paramedic has been taken to a hospital and is receiving treatment,
but is in critical condition as of yet.
The Fire Department believes a restaurant in the shopping mall…
Seol.
Seol, you have to wake up.
You should go home.
Seol.
Are you okay?
How are you feeling?
Dojin.
Do you know how long I waited for you?
I'm sorry.
I came too late.
Sorry.
I thought I was really going to die.
It's good that you didn't.
I'm so glad you didn't.
And…
I have a favor to ask you. Will you do it for me?
What is it?
Do you remember when I told you that I had something to say?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
The guy in the ambulance looked like a firefighter. Is he okay?
He was hurt, but he'll be okay.
What happened?
There was a secondary explosion while putting out the fire.
The building partially collapsed.
It's completely burnt.
Was he trying to get rid of evidence?
Chief!
- Over here. - What is it?
What is it?
What's going on?
- Get a stretcher. - Yes, sir.
It's not fireproof gear.
What are you saying? Then was there a worker inside?
I thought you searched for people.
It's another dead body.
Call the NFS. This is a crime scene now.
- We'll check for identification first. - Okay.

The First Responders Season 2
This bastard only targeted firefighters.
There are those who can see the signature…
I wanted to go someplace nice to give you this.
It's pretty.
It's Ms. Song. Her vitals are unstable!
I'm sorry.
You should get that bastard.
Dochoon Villa, Mijoong Apartments, the hotdog truck…
This person's phone signal was present at all these locations.
Father!
Detective, look at this. It's Unit 304 at Dochoon Villa.
This bastard is the serial arsonist.
