- Move! -

- Get out of my way! - What's going on?

-Yeah? -You see,

we have to go through all of Cho Iljun's potential hideouts.

-I need his recent call history. -No, that's fine.

-Who did he contact the most? -Where did you say?

-Quiet down. -So I need--

- Catch him! - What's going on?

Get back here, you punk! Get him!

-Batter Moon? - Hogae! Catch them!

Move!

Come on. Hey, you punk!

Get them!

Get off me!

-Go. - I'll be right with you!

They're both wearing hoods!

Move!

Stop right there!

Get out of the way!

- Stop following me! - Excuse me!

I'm sorry!

-Move! -You punk!

Hey!

Hey, you!

Be careful!

You're going to get hurt!

Get out of the way!

I said get out of the way!

Move!

You…

I can do it. Hey, come on.

Jeez, that's high.

Look at you go!

You're going to get hurt!

Oh, come on.

Stop following me!

You're going to get hurt, you punk!

- -

Hey, you!

Careful! You're going to get hurt!

I said be careful!

Why does it have to be you, Jindo Dog?

-Stay still. -Come on!

Quiet down, you bastard.

You junkie. Look at your eyes.

You still haven't fixed your bad habits.

As expected of the Jindo Dog.

Hey, Wiener. How far did you think you could run?

I told you to be careful.

We couldn't even eat because of you.

So as you're running around skipping meals,

have you caught the serial arsonist yet?

Have you caught him?

Uncuff this punk. Cuff him with yours, Batter Moon.

- All right. -No, I meant…

-I hope you catch the serial arsonist. - Stay still.

I'm rooting for you.

Sure, let's catch that serial arsonist.

THE FIRST RESPONDERS SEASON 2

Emergency code issued in the event of a disaster

or when there are mass casualties

Seven households struck by arson… Possibility of serial arson

Bongo-dong serial arson case report

Suspect: Ha Youngdoo

"Bongo-dong Fire Squirrel" Korea's first serial arsonist

Ha Youngdoo.

When will the serial arson end? Five dead…

Korea's worst serial arsonist who started a total of 49 fires.

The three-year-long arson spree resulted in 19 casualties.

In his last house arson,

he went in with the firefighters claiming to want to save lives.

He was eventually hospitalized

with third-degree burns on his entire body,

-effectively evading police investigation. -

Long time no see, Detective Jin Hogae.

The person who gave me my nickname.

"Bongo-dong Fire Squirrel."

Long time no see. You've gotten prettier.

You haven't changed, Jindo Dog.

I heard Taewon is quite noisy with a serial arson.

It must be pretty bad

for you to come looking for me.

I'm sure you didn't come empty-handed.

Here. You can't light them, though.

They haven't changed.

No, they haven't.

There are people

born with a destructive nature in this world.

Some become murderers while others become arsonists.

So some set fires, while others stab people?

That's right.

I'm familiar with those who stab people,

but I'm at a loss when it comes to fires since there isn't a lot of data.

That's why I've come to see you.

It's horrific just thinking about stabbing a living person.

I'll never understand how anyone could do something so inhumane.

You're one to talk. You killed 19 people with fire.

Taewon-gu serial arson case

For fire…

The fact that it's impossible to direct is its biggest advantage and weakness.

Guilt or responsibility?

There's no need to feel any of that.

I didn't choose those 19 people.

The fire did.

It was God's will,

so to speak.

Victim number 13.

Kim Youngji, a 22-year-old female.

Bright red livor mortis found across the back and hips,

as evidence of carbon monoxide poisoning.

That color…

really was…

pretty.

It's the same color as your tongue.

Got it, the same color.

Just keep talking.

He must have lost something.

The fire must have taken

something very important to him.

He must have felt tremendous fear and loss,

but eventually come to revere and worship fire.

Its incredibly destructive force

that can't be controlled by humans.

Fire gets rid of everything, leaving nothing behind.

It's the same for a person's mind.

All emotions are exhausted

and only things like joy, pleasure,

and exhilaration

for the fire remain.

Then…

do you think he's like that, too?

Dochoon Villa parking lot fire, Hotdog truck fire…

- - It will explode! Run!

He spilled toluene around a villa, food truck, septic tank.

And a family home.

He only started small fires with no victims.

No, that's not right.

There was the animal.

- -

He's not showing what he's really capable of.

He seems to be a much more sophisticated person.

Do you know what changes

when you set fire several times?

What changes?

Attention.

People start to pay attention.

So the culprit will never stop.

Why would he stop when he just got started?

But you guys are still clueless to his messages.

So now what?

It starts now.

Bigger fires, bigger arson attacks.

The damage will only get worse.

The culprit

should have a burn scar.

It's possible he's had it for a long time.

You wouldn't know how to use fire…

unless you've experienced it yourself.

Then you get used to it, become more cautious, and perfect it.

Old burn scars

are the fate of arsonists.

What about the signature mark?

What's the point of leaving one if everything gets burned like you said?

There are those who can see the signature despite the fire.

The culprit has had as much experience putting out fires

as he's had in starting one.

Look how punctual he was in starting the fires.

That means he also calculated the time it would take to put it out.

Someone who would see the signature

the moment the fire burns and goes out.

Firefighters.

Why?

What's his reason?

Why does he have a grudge against firefighters?

If the people who will put out the fire are the targets,

then who…

will put out that fire?

Prepare the funeral hall.

The more diverse the coffins, the better.

Fire…

doesn't discriminate against anyone.

You will lose in the end.
