119 EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Soo Jung, what's going on?

Geon Wook. Ae Ri...

won't breathe.

She won't breathe.

What are you talking about?

Where is she? Where is she right now?

Are you the caller?

How did you find her?

She wanted to visit her mom with me.

The door was opened,

so I just let myself in, then...

Are you her family?

No, we're her friends.

And her mother is in the hospital right now.

She'll live once she sees a doctor, right?

She already died.

What are you talking about?

Why would Ae Ri die?

Why would she die?

Please calm down, and come with us to the station.

REPORT ON THE CAUSE OF THE TAEJUNG TOWN COLLAPSE

THE SUMMARY OF THE COLLAPSE

"According to the analysis, area number 12-49..."

"must be reinforced to withstand the earth and water pressure..."

"of the gneissic structure of the area."

"The structure of the 15-story buildings was changed,"

"but the period of construction on the foundation was executed..."

"according to the original plan, causing the building to collapse..."

"within 5 minutes from the 1st signs of collapse."

Come in.

Have you read the report I turned in?

You seemed very busy yesterday, so I just handed in the report.

Okay. Is it urgent?

No, sir.

If you're busy, I can debrief you on...

Mr. Seo.

What do you think will happen if the structure wasn't reinforced...

while constructing a building in a gneissic area...

to help the building withstand earth and water pressure?

It'll most likely collapse.

And if...

the construction was processed despite knowing this fact,

what could the reasons be?

Because of the added cost...

and the extension of the construction period.

Why do you ask?

It's nothing. I'll read your report right away. You may go.

Yes, sir.

EPISODE 12

MANAGER SEO DO KYUN

Mr. Kim, where are you?

Are you all right?

Hello? Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim, are you listening?

No matter what happens, please do not give up.

You must bring Ms. Kang...

- and Da Bin back. - Stop crossing over the line.

If anyone does this, I will.

I'll pay you back for what I owe you in time.

Do not contact me from now on.

TURN THE DEVICE OFF

- Dad! - Da Bin!

I'm sorry I'm late. There was a bit of traffic.

It's all right.

Please excuse me, then.

Da Bin, have fun with Dad.

Okay, Ms. Jung. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Bye. - Bye, Ms. Jung.

Dad.

Dad.

Hey, Da Bin.

Can you come to my room for just a moment?

I'm sorry. I'm a little busy right now.

I'll be there once I'm done with this one. Okay?

Okay.

I can't cry.

I shouldn't cry.

What?

I don't think I heard that right. Could you please tell me again?

Is Ms. Han Ae Ri your daughter?

She was found dead at home today.

I think you got something wrong.

I have a heart condition,

so I'm hospitalized to get examined.

Ae Ri will be here later today.

It's about time she came.

We're very sorry we must relay this news to you.

Your daughter has passed away.

Lead the way.

Let me check this for you.

It can't be my daughter.

Why is your hand so cold?

Ae Ri, come with me.

Let's go home together.

Okay? Let's go home.

Ae Ri.

Let's go home.

- Mom. - Ms. Kwak!

- I'll get someone. - Get an ambulance!

Someone get an ambulance!

- Please calm down. We'll call them. - Mom...

Could you please help me lift her?

- Ms. Kwak, stay with us. - Ms. Kwak.

Help her up. Be careful. Slowly.

Ma'am, wake up. Ma'am, can you hear me?

Mom...

Mom!

Mom...

Not you too...

Soo Jung.

Wake up.

Ae Ri won't die.

She won't.

HAN AE RI, INCOMING CALL

HAN AE RI

Hello? Mr. Kim.

Ms. Han.

I finally found out whom my mom was hiding from.

It's Chairman Yu of Yujung Constructions.

He has been looking for her all along.

Ms. Han, listen carefully.

In a month,

you're going to die.

But I will make sure to save you.

I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen.

Are you listening?

Then...

is Chairman Yu the one who wants me dead?

The police are looking into it as we speak.

You said my mom held the key, right?

Because of something that she knows,

I'll die.

I believe it's related...

to the collapse of Taejung Town 19 years ago.

I'm currently looking into that case as well.

If we try a bit more...

I'm doing the best I can.

I'm really doing everything that I can.

When will I be free?

Let's say we stop this. Then what about the next disaster?

We don't know what'll happen after that.

Ms. Han, please don't lose hope.

You and I have overcome great hardship up until now.

I'm certain we can change the future this time around as well.

I believe in this fate...

that has brought us together.

You weren't asleep?

- Sleep, Mom. - Okay.

Don't sleep in your room.

Sleep here.

Okay.

- Mom. - Yes?

Should we go on a date tomorrow?

Sure.

Let's do everything you want to do.

What do you want to do?

I'm not sure.

Should we call Soo Jung and Geon Wook too?

Would you like that?

Yes.

They went through so much because of me.

Mom, are you ready?

My gosh.

Did I overdo it?

We haven't gone on a date in a while, so I got dolled up.

Let me change.

No, go like this.

You're so beautiful.

Mom, we're here...

Gosh.

You look gorgeous.

Come on, you guys. Don't tease me.

Let's hurry if we want to avoid rush hour.

Mom, you look way too pretty.

Geon Wook. Soo Jung.

Thank you for taking good care of Ae Ri.

I'm more thankful. I owe her so much.

When I was in high school,

my grandma got in a hit-and-run accident.

Ae Ri found her and took her to the hospital.

She paid for the hospital bills since I had no money.

You paid me back, though.

There's more.
