The First Responders 2 (Sobangseo Yeob Kyungchalseo Geurigo Gookgwasoo / 소방서 옆 경찰서 그리고 국과수)

The characters, places, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious

A caravan exploded at a camping site

on the outskirts of Taewon-gu,

causing chaos as residents of nearby apartment complexes

were evacuated.

- As of right now… -Hong.

I need you at the scene.

You're okay now, so try to calm down and take deep breaths.

We have a burn patient. The skin is severely damaged.

Can you receive an emergency patient?

Okay.

Please get to Taewon Hospital as quickly as possible!

Chief.

There's…

a body.

Murder marked by excessive violence and brutality

I can never turn a blind eye to crime

for my own livelihood.

I've never done that before.

I can't promise that I won't get hurt either.

But…

…no matter how badly I get hurt, come to me.

I mean…

Come save me as a paramedic.

Mr. Baek.

It seems to be Detective Jin's phone and public official ID.

Also, this is a bullet that was shot,

and I think it was fired from a .38-caliber police gun.

- Did you find the gun? - No, there was no gun.

Send it to the NFS's firearms room

and have them check rifling marks to see which gun it was fired from.

Yes, sir.

Both bodies are carbonized,

so DNA must be collected from inside the femurs to identify them.

We'll send the bodies to the NFS Genetics Division first.

Okay.

All right.

NFS National Forensic Service

We have a match for the first body.

It's not Detective Jin Hogae.

Analysis Report

It's Detective Moon Youngsoo.

Result: The DNA is a match to Moon Youngsoo's.

Call the NOI and have them informed Detective Moon's family

about his scheduled autopsy.

Excuse me.

Let's wait a bit longer.

Okay.

We should head back.

You stay behind until the police wrap things up.

The explosives were placed in the weakest area

in the lower part of the vehicle.

This caravan was designed to blow up.

They wanted to burn it to the ground. Complete destruction of evidence.

We have a match.

Who is it?

The DNA from the femur of the second carbonized body matched that of Ma Taehwa.

Wait, Ma Taehwa?

Yes, we analyzed DNA from both femurs.

It's Ma Taehwa.

Hello?

Really?

Okay, I got it.

The bullet from inside the caravan

was confirmed to have been fired from Detective Jin's pistol.

Who did he shoot?

Where the hell is Detective Jin?

Hey!

Is this the best you can do?

Why is everything so complicated?

You spend money as you please.

I'm all messed up.

Look at me.

I almost died!

Jindo Dog.

Looks like the mutt hunt is over.

Off to hell you go, Jindo Dog. Wait, no.

I hope you safely cross the Rainbow Bridge.

You no longer interest me.

Public official ID Jin Hogae

Taewon Fire Station

I heard the news.

You still haven't heard from Detective Jin?

-No. -Don't worry too much.

You must have had a rough night.

Last night felt like a year.

All I could think about…

…was that it couldn't be Detective Jin.

But does that mean other people can die?

That wouldn't be right either.

You were relieved to know that it wasn't him.

That's why you feel guilty.

The very last thing you hear

when tragic news is delivered is the name.

It was like that back then too.

When five firefighters died in the shantytown fire ten years ago,

everyone hoped

they weren't their husband or their son.

People would curse you for being selfish if they knew,

but in the face of devastating despair…

it happens.

Don't feel guilty, Seol.

Okay, I won't.

- Chief. - Yes?

-I'm done collecting the video footage. -Oh, really?

Finish up and take a break.

What footage are you looking at?

Oh.

I wanted to find the cause of the shantytown fire,

although it may be hard to find out the truth.

Taewon's serial arsonist may have been caught,

but not the culprit of the shantytown fire.

If I let this get swept under the rug,

I won't be able to face Dojin.

-I'll help you. -You will?

I'll head inside soon.

This is a collection of all the news footage

that was recorded at the scene during the shantytown fire.

There's so much.

Cameras from all the news stations in Seoul were there.

It took 12 hours to address the situation.

So what should we do now?

If the shantytown fire was arson,

the arsonist wouldn't have left the scene.

Since the goal was to scare away the residents who lived there,

they wouldn't have left until they accomplished their goal.

Then they would have been caught on the cameras.

That's just my guess right now.

It'll take a while to go through every single one of these.

There's no guarantee that the arsonist was caught on camera.

It won't be considered official work,

and we'll have to head out for any dispatches.

Then we can just come back and watch them.

We have to catch the arsonist, don't we?

Is anyone against it?

No!

Great. Okay.

Let's catch the arsonist.

- Let's catch the arsonist. - Let's do it.

I'll check this out.

My goodness.

It's the middle of the day!

What are you doing in there?

How long do you plan on staying in there?

What's this?

Excuse me. Wake up.

I'm going in.

If you're awake, hurry up and get out.

I have to clean.

My gosh, you shouldn't drink so much.

This bastard.

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

What did you do?

The headache is the aftereffect of the sedative and anesthetic.

You'll feel better soon.

What did you do to me, you bastard?

The bones behind our ears carry sound without it

having to go through the eardrums.

You've heard of bone-conduction earphones, right?

It's just relaying electricity with sound information.

I put in a mic too.

Jeez, you should let me finish what I'm saying.

I put an electrolytic condenser in the earphone's battery.

That just means I can induce an electrical discharge.

I set it to the most dangerous frequency for the human body at 60 c/s.

More than 100 volts and you'll die.

Electric currents flow better in the blood vessel-rich mucous membrane.

In your case, the currents flow through your body,

so it'll be a clean death

without any entry or exit marks.

Entry and exit mark: Traces of current entering and leaving the body

So you'll die immediately without any evidence left behind

if you don't do as I say.

Who are you?

How did you get into the NFS?

Han Sejin, a forensic science professor at Aewol University.

From his birth registration and college entrance to graduation,

he's a perfect individual in the system.

A great creation, right?

You killed Moon Youngsoo, didn't you?

I'm morally responsible,

but he had bad timing.

You and Seok Moongu killed Yang Chiyoung, right?

I needed an anesthesiologist.

And also to take care of Ma Taehwa.

They've been anesthetized. Who should we start with?

The one who's going to die.

- What about Ma Taehwa? - Don't worry.

I keep my promises.

Why did you kill Seok Moongu?

His job was done.

You said my work wasn't meticulous.

I did that on purpose.

Anyway, I need you to do something for me.

If you don't…

…I have many others who can.

Hey, you bastard.

I'm going to catch you.

Hello, this is Song Seol.
