[ organizations depicted in the show are fictitious. ]

[ They were tied to the other side, not the top. ]

As if they wanted you to get lost.

What about the yellow ribbon?

Why are you asking about yellow the ribbon?

Was there anything else? Like, did you see someone suspicious?

No, I don't think so.

Who gave you the yogurt drink?

[ The hiker looking at the pink rucksack handed him a yogurt. ]

Since then, he felt dizzy and nauseous

and even hallucinated.

The shape has changed.

I didn't know you were here.

Sorry, I scared you. Sorry for screaming.

Did you just get here?

Did you see anyone on the way?

No.

But there's something I must tell you.

Have you checked the automated camera?

Well...

I checked it all, but...

This! What on earth is this?

How can a twig move by itself?

Also, when I was up there,

another branch snapped by itself.

- And it suddenly turned dark, - Dowon Valley.

and it was so windy.

- I was so scared. - Dowon Valley, Sumgol Rock.

I'm sorry?

Someone is going to die there.

We need to go there.

Haedong Ranger Station control room.

There's been an SOS report from Sumgol Rock in Dowon Valley.

I repeat.

There's been an SOS report from Sumgol Rock in Dowon Valley.

Seseok One.

Bidam One, 1km point from Dowon Valley.

Patrolling the trail at Sumgol Rock 2km point.

- We'll mobilize. - We will too.

It must be an urgent situation.

The call ended after he said he was lost.

This is a false report.

Is this okay?

How does it look? Did you get there?

Take his belt off!

Tilt him more.

The mouth!

Sir.

Yi-gang.

How is he?

It would have been dangerous if we came any later.

So that's a relief.

He's gotten a lot better after they washed out his stomach.

What happened to him? Did you ask?

There was something wrong with the yogurt he drank.

Yogurt drink?

Yes. Someone left a yogurt by the stream.

He was thirsty, so he didn't think much of it.

And that's when he started to feel sick.

Excuse me!

Where did you get that?

Did you get that from a hiker or pick it up from somewhere?

Why?

Are we not allowed to bring this to the mountain?

It's not alcohol.

We can't even drink yogurt here?

Sorry about that. Take care.

What's wrong with you?

Did the police even investigate Geum-rye's incident?

I told you, it's concluded as an accident.

I met Private Ahn again.

He said the hiker was closing the rucksack zipper.

He could have put poison mushrooms in the bag.

To make us think she died from mushroom poisoning.

But since Private Ahn caught the scene, he tried to kill him too.

His looks?

Do you remember?

Of course.

He was

about 175cm tall.

Just a regular-looking dude.

In his early thirties, max.

He was wearing a black T-shirt with white stains

and a pair of beige hiking pants.

We only need to find him.

He's got to be our culprit.

It's all your guess.

You think the police will buy that?

Her family is suffering enough as it is.

We can't burden them more with something uncertain.

Hello.

Don't get up.

It's all right.

Oh, I can't thank you enough.

Not at all. This is our job.

Still...

I came to ask a couple of things. Please answer comfortably.

That yogurt...

Where and how did you find it?

Did you see anyone else there?

If there was, I wouldn't be in this state right now.

There was no one to help me.

My phone stopped working,

and I kept barfing.

I thought I'd die.

I guess the story was true.

About the ghost, you know.

The ghost?

There's a male ghost on the mountain these days.

And the rumor is you die in a few after seeing him.

I didn't believe it at first.

But I saw that ghost with my own eyes.

Yes, coming!

He was covered in blood.

A ranger?

That logo on your uniform.

It was on his jumper.

It was white and this long

with that logo on the back.

You mean a snow suit?

I don't know what that is.

You mean this jumper?

It's him.

What do you mean?

It's him!

The ghost I was talking about.

I'm sure of it.

Who is he?

Is he really a ranger?

Why's he covered in blood?

Just because you don't get them doesn't mean they're lies.

To save people.

I saw it.

Where the lost hikers are...

Hello?

Yi-gang! It's been so long.

How have you been?

Are you keeping up with rehab training?

Well...

Hyun-jo...

He's fine.

regain his consciousness?

No, nothing really happened.

But he's hanging in there.

Okay, thank you.

Yi-gang?

I heard you came back. I guess it's true.

I was worried about you.

I'm glad you look healthy.

Do you need a ride to the ranger station?

No, it's all right.

Okay, then.

You know...

You said before

that anything is possible on the mountain.

Yes.

Could there really be a ghost on the mountain?

You think all the folktales set on mountains are false?

You know they call Mount Jirisan the mountain of patience.

There are more people who climb with a story or two

than for the sake of leisure.

Those people have sorrow and regret.

And ghosts are all about sorrow and regret.

If anyone had a strong desire,

they could remain there as a ghost.

Sure.

Then I'll see you around.
