Episode 1

Seyang High's Pride and Joy Jung Yi-hyun

Busted knee

Disgrace

Get moving.

Give me that.

Jung Yi-hyun!

I played Little League too, so I know how you feel.

So come down. Let's talk here.

Just talk from there.

- What is he saying? - I don't know.

Then give him a megaphone too. Darn it.

- Hey. I'll come up, so wait a minute. - Independent study

Let's talk up there.

Where's the staircase?

Why won't he come down?

- Seyang High School - Focus.

Focus, and you won't hear a bomb explode next to you.

Why aren't we leaving? Class is over,

and we can't concentrate anyway.

- Independent study - Do you think Yi-hyun would like it

- Independent study - if all of you pour out right now?

He's psychologically frail as is.

What if he jumps off impulsively when he sees you?

I'm sure you'll be able to concentrate very well at home then.

You'll let us go if he comes down, right?

Yes, I'll let you go immediately.

The police are talking to him now,

so don't aggravate me. Just take a nap.

You must be tired. You've been in school longer than other kids.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Hey. I said not to aggravate me...

Fine. As long as you're quiet.

Everyone focus.

Focus on your books. A bomb is about to fall.

Gosh.

Hey! I'll get you fully rehabilitated. I give you my word.

If not, I'll make sure you can become a cop.

So trust me and let's go down.

I don't want to be a cop.

Okay!

I'm a friend. They said to go up and help talk to him.

Let's talk here. I won't go there, so don't worry.

Calm down.

Sae-bom?

Hey, you!

Hey!

Hey, kid! What... Hey!

Who are you? Are you his girlfriend?

No.

Hey, we can't go home because of you.

Mister, I'll talk to him, so wait right there.

What's wrong with the kids at this school?

Seyang High School

Is it too hard not playing baseball?

That's not it.

I came up for some air,

and suddenly cops and ambulances showed up.

Who called them?

I'm watching to see how far they go.

I have nothing to do anyway.

There's nothing to do other than baseball?

Of course, not. It was all I did my whole life.

I was pretty good too.

But look what happened to me. How could I be okay?

I've done nothing my whole life, and I was fine.

It's better if you did nothing.

I've been in a hospital for a while, so I know.

It'll all become memories once they pass.

I can't play baseball ever again.

My life is over.

I don't know what to do...

What about you? What are you going to do?

Last week, it was a nurse.

Now, I'm thinking civil servant.

I need a steady income so that I can move out,

but I keep changing my mind.

See? You're down too

about falling behind two years.

No, I'm not.

I'm saying our future is boundless.

It's okay, so just do it.

If you fail, so be it.

Gosh.

Like me.

What?

What happened?

Get him.

Hey, kid.

Hey.

Don't get me wrong.

It was intentional.

I pushed him onto the cushion.

Let's talk at the station.

- Wait. - Hey.

Yi-hyun.

Tell him you don't want me to be punished.

He wants to arrest me.

Hey, Sae-bom.

Want to go out?

12 years later

Special Operation Unit

SOU.

Get over here and treat him!

Where is he hurt?

Bullet wound to the chest.

He can't breathe.

He has a collapsed lung.

The bullet pierced the lung, releasing the air inside...

Don't diagnose him, treat him!

Trainee Lee Jong-tae

Should I really do it?

Don't think. Just do as you learned.

Sir.

Sir.

You'll break my ribs.

Sir.

That's my clavicle, you punk.

Trainee Lee Jong-tae.

You just killed a team member.

- TMP point deduction. - Tactical Medical Practitioner training

TMP score

Your acting was good.

- Was it? - Yes.

Put your gloves on.

That way, he won't slip.

What are you doing?

- Will you really deduct points? - Yes.

He was slow to make decisions and fearful.

If you're the standard,

everyone in this world would fail.

Trainee Yoon Sae-bom

- SWAT! - SWAT!

Here.

He has a bullet wound and can't breathe.

What must you do?

Trainee Yoon Sae-bom

So...

Wait!

Yoon Sae-bom!

What are you doing?

They started using this because of you.

Because you stabbed him in the chest.

And he ended up being transferred to a patrol station.

I heard from him recently. He said the patrol station was a perfect fit.

Really?

He even sent me a gift card.

What about me?

Why didn't he send me one?

He must have had his reasons.

I'm starving.

Let's go eat.

Motel

Front desk.

I hear it too.

The second floor?

Okay, I'll tell them.

What are they doing in the middle of the day?

Sir.

If you break anything, you'll have to pay for it.

Do you want to get beat up?

The days are getting slightly warm,

but the fact that we can breathe without wearing masks

makes it a happy day.

Although the world has changed since before the COVID-19 pandemic,

we've learned to appreciate average days.

I hope

you all have a happy afternoon

during which you can see each other's faces and smiles

and look up at the blue sky and take deep breaths.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

I'll be back tomorrow...

(We never know when there will be another epidemic.)

Jung Yi-hyun

Here.

Do you still want to play baseball with your bum knee?

They pay me if you play as a ringer.

- What's the case? - A murder.

You didn't even know that?

I came because I was told to.

I even gave up my day off and a baseball game.

- You should be grateful. - Ever so grateful.

- Here. - Babe.

The next room reported it.

- When we came out... - Excuse me.

- Who's the victim? - The clerk.

Let's go.

- And then... - What is going on here?

What did he do to his neck?

I don't know.

It looks like it was a blunt knife.

Maybe to make it hurt?

Who's the suspect?

The one staying in this room.

People complained like crazy because he was so loud.

Who covered him up?
