[The show is an adapted fiction based on
stories of National Park Rangers.]
[All characters, events, regions,]
[organizations depicted in the show
are fictitious.]
Lee Da-won!
-Lee Da-won.
-Da-won!
Lee Da-won's cell phone signal
was last detected
[from the repeater in Seongnae Stream,
Jeonmukgol.]
She's new but still a ranger.
She must have left a sign.
There's a dead tree southeast of
Hurricane lily habitat in Jeonmukgol.
We must check under that tree.
That signal only you and Hyun-jo know?
What's this?
It's near the pebbly road at Haebawi Rock.
[How did it go? Did you find anything?]
We found a pink cell phone.
It's covered in blood.
But what about Dae-jin?
So this was recorded on Da-won's phone?
Then, let's go down together.
No. I'll go by myself.
Haedong Two!
Found the missing at the rocky ridge!
How's Da-won? Is she all right?
The missing has no vital signs.
Presumed dead.
We have a couple of things to ask...
The deceased was holding this.
Did you do that to Da-won?
Why did you do it?
And Hyun-jo, too?
You also harmed Hyun-jo?
Why did you do that? Why?
Tell Yi-gang at Haedong Ranger Station
that I didn't leave the mark this time.
He said he didn't leave the mark
this time?
When you and Hyun-jo had that accident...
Why did you go to Black Bridge Valley?
[What happened between you and Hyun-jo?]
[What were you doing with Da-won?]
[Why do you suspect the commander?]
Why did you return to the mountain?
I don't have any answers.
You shouldn't have come back.
When do you think I can quit this job?
You can't just quit any time you want to.
[It involves saving people's lives.]
[Saving people's lives is our job.]
But I'm seeing
more dead people than live ones.
[Do you remember him?]
[He came back to the mountain.]
[The mountain spirit will be infuriated
once again.]
[Mountain spirit's
not the only one up there.]
[Grandma told me a long time ago,]
[that the evil spirit comes
before the mountain spirit.]
Black Bridge Village.
Have you forgotten
all that's happened there?
Especially not
the Black Bridge Valley area.
[Don't ever go north.]
Black Bridge Valley.
[Year 1991]
Over there is
Black Bridge Village.
Oh, I see.
This place is perfect for cable cars.
We'd appreciate some help
from national park with getting consent
from the villagers.
It'll be good for the mountain
and the residents.
We're supposed to stay neutral.
We only lead the way.
Yes, okay...
How have you been?
We brought a guest with us.
This is the mayor of Black Bridge Village.
Hello.
I'm Yang Geun-tak, the president of
Mount Jirisan Development Committee.
Kim Jae-gyeong.
Pleasure to meet you.
-Leave!
-Jae-gyeong, stop!
-Get out of here!
-Please stop!
We have no intention of moving out.
Get out of here.
Mr. Kim.
I told you we'll give you
as much relocation compensation
as possible.
Seriously.
Do you think this is about money?
This place is our home
and where we stem from.
I never want to see you again.
End of conversation.
You'll...
regret this.
Then what happened?
-We can't even take a shower.
-Excuse me, coming through.
What happened?
In here.
Who could have done such a thing?
It's him! The cable car man.
He messed with the well
to kick us out of here!
That's right.
It must've been him.
Has anyone seen him putting that in there?
Don't think we've seen him doing it.
We can't report him to the police
when we're not even sure.
Are you saying we just have to see?
He won't end here.
He'll do something else to us.
Don't worry too much.
We'll do more patrols,
and think of ways
to enhance village security.
We'll protect you with all our might!
Don't worry.
[National Park Service
Jo Dae-jin]
[People started dying.]
[Three people died
from such a small village.]
[Was this a coincidence?]
[Did you guys hear that?]
And this is Black Bridge Village?
Yes, sir.
It's supposed to be in Deokseoryeong,
but it doesn't show on the map.
Shouldn't we go look?
Have there been any missing reports?
No.
Then don't worry about it.
I know we've been short of staff lately.
But let's try to finish
the mountain spirit ritual
without an issue.
But, sir.
That's enough.
He could've staged this for more views.
It could be real.
I bet his cell phone was working
well enough to post the video.
If he were in real danger,
he would've called for help.
He dropped his phone and the video ended.
Maybe it was broken,
and he couldn't have called.
You spent two hours
carrying that jerk down.
This will be exactly like that.
There's a 98 percent chance it's nothing.
You don't seem that confident,
taking that 2 percent off.
[On patrol to Black Bridge Valley,
Deokseoryeong, with Hyun-jo.]
[You guys take care of
the promotion booth for the ritual.]
[On patrol to Black Bridge Valley,
Deokseoryeong, with Hyun-jo.]
I don't care.
[On patrol to Black Bridge Valley,
Deokseoryeong, with Hyun-jo.]
[You guys take care of
the promotion booth for the ritual.]
Gosh.
Some slack off all day long
and some make a big deal
out of everything.
There's something wrong with this battery.
I told Gu-yeong to check the devices.
I'll do it when we get back.
Whatever, just take this.
What's this?
Ghosts are supposed to come
from the north today.
I was warned not to go near
Black Bridge Valley today.
I guess you don't actually hate me
if you care about me like this.
Are you trying to walk over me?
I'm a ranger.
I must be good at walking in general.
Let's go.
Hey!
Wrong way.
There's not a single soul here.
Should we go back?
-The wrestling will start soon.
-You wish.
Keep searching.
You never know when accidents happen.
Hey, what's that?
Stop the car.
[Police]
Sir?
Are you okay?
Call for assistance.
Sir!
Go away.
Get off me.
Calm down.
We're police.
Ghost... Ghost lights.
I saw ghost lights.
I saw ghost lights.
Ghost lights!
Ghost...
Up there.
Ghost lights.
Oh, okay, sir.
Granny...
What's this?
You took another day off?
-So did you.
-I only do it once in a while.
You're off every day.
You're making stuff up.
Oh, hey.
-Mr. Park.
-Hello.
-Did you eat?
-Not yet.
One second.
I'll bring something right out.
Take your time.
What are you doing?
Don't.
What are you guys up to?
Are you taking another day off?
-Yes, I am!
-What's wrong with that?
-Don't you get days off?
-I take every day off.
He takes days off all the time.
I rarely take days off.
Why are you all coming for me?
Take as much as you want.
Gosh.
Anyway,
Have you guys seen that video?
You know the guy who posted
the Black Bridge Valley video?
We found him by the road
and took him to the hospital earlier,
but he was totally out of his mind.
Didn't Yi-gang and Hyun-jo
go there earlier?
Yes. Black Bridge Village
in Deokseoryeong.
What?
Yi-gang went where?
Black Bridge Village?
Yes.
What?
Black Bridge Village is up north.
She can't go north today.
It's the day ghosts come from there.
Wow.
Now, this is something.
When did the village get demolished?
I heard 1991.
-Is this your first time here, too?
-I never had a chance to come.
There's nothing to see here,
plus it's dangerous,
so people rarely come here.
Hello?
Anyone there?
We're from national park.
Anyone?
See?
I said there's a 98 percent chance
it's nothing.
If he got stranded,
it must be around here.
Check the bushes, see if they're beat.
Let's check that side.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
Hello?
Anyone there?
We're from the national park.
Nobody?
What's wrong?
What is this?
We're back to where we started.
I think we're lost.
Turn your GPS on.
[Speed, Distance to Destination,
Coordinates, Battery]
It's not working.
What's that?
Yi-gang.
Did you see that?
What can that be?
The smell...
[Gu-yeong]
Hello?
Yi-gang and Hyun-jo? They're not back yet.
Yes.
All right. I'll try to radio them.
What was that?
Yi-gang and Hyun-jo went
to Black Bridge Valley,
but they're not back yet.
These punks!
I told them not to go.
But, sir.
The one who posted the video from
Black Bridge Valley
was found by the roadway.
But I heard he's been saying
something strange
that he saw a ghost light.
[Haedong Ranger Station, Control Room.]
No, we need to go.
[Seo Yi-gang, where are you?]
Maybe their radio broke.
Or maybe they're on their way down.
This way.
Call me if they don't return by six.
And keep trying to reach them.
They'll be all right.
It's Yi-gang.
Black Bridge Valley is different.
You've heard a saying,
"mountains hallucinate people," right?
Black Bridge Valley is that kind of place.
So, when can we start using the well?
Not for a while.
We can't drink contaminated water.
I'm sick of traveling like this
to get water.
You'll get through this.
-See you later.
-Okay, see you.
-Be careful. It's slippery.
-Okay.
My goodness.
Someone has gone missing?
Since when?
Since yesterday when she went up
to get water from the stream.
There was a bucket and bloodstains
near the stream,
so I thoroughly looked around,
but she's nowhere to be seen.
It's all because of him.
If he hadn't ruined the well,
my wife wouldn't have gone to get water.
We'll find her.
I promise.
So give us some time.
Ms. Kim!
-Ms. Kim!
-Kim Seong-suk!
Ms. Kim!
Kim Seong-suk!
Ms. Kim!
[Even park rangers get lost
near Black Bridge Village.]
[Sometimes seemingly safe paths
lead to cliffs,]
[and sometimes trails disappear.]
[The mountain is hallucinating us.]
[We must stay alert.]
Check around those trees, too.
Ms. Kim!
Ms. Kim!
Her pulse is weak!
Was she found here?
Under that tree.
[Condolences]
[It's all because of me.]
I heard she could have survived
if we were a little quicker.
I passed by that tree several times.
Had I found her a little earlier...
Let's go in.
We should see her off.
[Year 2019]
So what are those?
People say they see ghost lights
on dark and foggy nights
like this on the mountain.
Is that really a ghost light?
Of course not.
Don't you remember this smell?
What's this smell?
Dog odor combined with ammonia.
A bear.
A bear? That?
I heard wild animals' eyes
look like that when reflected in the light.
That's impossible.
I heard moon bears hate people.
Also, they aren't aggressive,
as long as we don't attack them first.
I've never seen anything like this before.
Even if they aren't aggressive,
bears are the wildest of wild beasts.
They're over 2 meters tall
and weigh over 100kg.
I don't know why they're so provoked,
but I'm sure it's more dangerous
than a ghost light.
-Pass me your walkie.
-Yes.
The battery's dead.
No signal.
We're trapped.
Mayor!
Cable cars or whatever...
I'm not leaving.
We're not here because of the cable cars.
Most of the villagers have left.
The park decided
to demolish the village, too.
-Why don't you move to--
-I'm not leaving!
How have you been?
Did you eat?
Dad keeps saying he sees things.
What do you mean?
He says he sees ghost lights.
There's no such thing.
-He saw wrong.
-No! There is.
I saw it, too.
Let's call it a day.
Yes, sir.
This way.
Why are you trying to meet him?
Are you charging him a fine?
-How's his condition?
-They say he's calmed down a lot.
That's the one.
Hello?
[So, on my way from Deokseoryeong
to Black Bridge Valley,]
[-there was some woman.]
-Excuse me?
Anyway, I called.
What did you say?
What?
Someone was at Deokseoryeong?
No, well... It was her fault.
Why did she go up there
when she clearly couldn't make it?
Don't tell me you left
a lost person there.
Could you let the rangers know
that I'm here?
Gosh, lady.
You want me to take myself in
for illegal hiking?
I'll make a report on my way down,
once I'm done with my business.
Where was it?
Well, I... I was busy, too.
Where was it?
When will they leave?
How would I know?
I'm sorry.
But...
I didn't expect such a place
in the mountains.
It must have been a secret hideout
for "Partisans."
What? There's a pole.
It must belong to illegal hikers.
There's more stuff, like crampons.
-Oh my gosh!
-Gosh.
-Yi-gang...
-What's up with you?
There's someone here.
Her breathing is too weak.
She has serious hypothermia.
We must hurry up
and get her to a hospital.
Will you be okay?
Do I have a choice?
There's been a missing report.
Please gather at the restricted trail
entrance in Deokseoryeong.
I called each shelter
and the rangers on their day off.
Any news from Yi-gang and Hyun-jo?
No.
But...
Those two aren't the only ones up there.
Yi-gang, We're back again.
You all right?
What's that?
Gosh.
-What happened? We couldn't reach you.
-Hey.
Who's that?
-And what's that?
-Carry her.
Quick!
-There.
-Hurry up!
What is that?
Hurry up!
In here.
Watch your step.
On two.
What happened?
-She's in a bad state.
-I know.
That's why we were trying so hard
to get down, but can't find the way out.
Same here.
We kept going around in one direction
since the foggy area.
We could only come
because of your flashlights.
-What's that thing?
-Bears.
-What?
-What?
No way. Hold on.
Then are we trapped?
Hang on. There must be a way.
A way? What way?
You got lost in here, too.
-Calm yourself down.
-Don't tell me to calm down.
Why did you come up here
in the first place and get us into this?
Did I tell you to come?
-Go back down then.
-Hey.
-Stop it, both of you.
-Stop what?
The promotion test is
only a few days away,
and I'm wasting my precious time here.
You took a day off just for that?
When everyone else is busy?
Just for that?
This is very important for me.
I'm meeting Yang-sun's mother soon.
I should at least have a team leader title
because I've got nothing else!
Hey.
Now's not the time for that.
Team leader is only a title.
Shut up. You're already a team leader.
Hey! Do you think
it's all fun and games for me?
I haven't gotten a single day of rest
since I got promoted.
And now...
I can't use my legs.
I might not be able to walk
if I keep climbing the mountain.
Her condition has gotten worse.
I don't think she can last long.
[Park Il-hae. Can you hear me?]
[-Did you get to Black Bridge Valley?]
-Yes, sir.
We met Yi-gang and Hyun-jo.
[We got a call about a missing person]
[between Deokseoryeong
and Black Bridge Valley.]
You mean the woman in a red jacket?
You found her?
How is she?
Not good. We must take her
to the hospital immediately.
Our situation's not that great.
We can't find our way out.
It's hard to secure a clear view
because of the fog,
and the GPS is no use.
Plus, moon bears aren't leaving our side
for some reason.
[Yi-gang and Hyun-jo tried to carry
the victim down, but they failed.]
Let me talk to Yi-gang.
This is Yi-gang speaking.
[Take the lead and find the way.]
[You're the fastest,
and you know the mountain best.]
I'm not confident.
I keep getting lost.
[I almost got lost there too once.]
[And a missing person ended up dying
because of me.]
[I pondered and found out why.]
It was because I was tracing
the animal path, not the human one.
I'll take her. You just hurt your knees.
I'll do it. My knees are newer than yours.
The man-made path leads to the village,
but the one made by animals
is the opposite.
If you feel like you're going around
in a circle, go the opposite way.
[Abandon everything
except your headlamps and walkies.]
[Make yourselves as light as possible.]
[Hyun-jo, you take the front
since you can steadily carry her.]
[Gu-yeong, assist him,
and Il-hae, the rear.]
[You failed when you were in pairs,
but now it's four of you.]
Trust one another.
[Don't worry about anything, just run.]
[Your fellow rangers
will watch your back.]
Let's go. Run!
What's the matter? What happened?
Please get rid of the trees, too.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
Had I saved her,
could I have saved this village?
Do you
want to quit this job?
Quitting won't end it.
You'll keep seeing dead people
on the mountain,
and only feel guiltier with time.
You can't escape the mountain
even if you want to.
With that sympathy in your mind,
try to save people with all your heart.
That's our job.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
What happened to the missing person?
They'll save her.
They're different from me.
You come here every year.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Jeong Gu-yeong.
He's my coworker that I've talked about.
Isn't he cute?
I appreciate everything you do
for my daughter.
By the way, how tall...
Why would you ask something like that?
Around 170cm...
Maybe 171...
This is a gift to
the Best Ranger of the Month,
Mr. Jeong Gu-yeong
from the chief of
Mount Jirisan National Park.
He will also be paying
for your food today.
Please enjoy.
-The Best Ranger of the Month?
-Yes.
You must be really good
at what you're doing.
Of course, he's an excellent ranger.
Oh, yes.
They're so beautiful.
They're beautiful like you.
The chief must have sent them for you.
Do you like flowers?
Of course.
They're beautiful.
So pretty.
See? What did I tell you?
I knew he'd come empty-handed.
Things are looking good.
What's the time? We have to patrol
the mountain spirit ritual.
What?
You still have that thing?
Throw it away.
That's up to me. It's mine now.
Let's go. The ritual must have begun.
Oh, he keeps on getting cute with me.
-Hey.
-I'm glad you're here.
Have you looked for moon bears
near Black Bridge Valley?
I have.
We have Number 35
and her two cubs born this winter.
Are you sure they chased you?
They're such sweet babies.
You think I made that up? Say something.
It's true.
Maybe you provoked them first.
Are you nuts?
Well, anyhow.
I guess you should thank the bears.
You got to save someone thanks to them.
You said you found her
while being chased by the bears.
Without a missing report,
it would have been impossible to find
her hidden in the rocks otherwise.
No way. We saved her, not the bears.
-It was the bears.
-You have no idea.
-What?
-We nearly died.
-Is that so?
-You're driving me insane.
[Jirisan National Park,
Ranger]
That doesn't make any sense.
Come on, thanks to the bears?
They guided you there.
To find the person.
What? You're insane.
Well, that's a surprise.
Why don't you answer your phone?
I was going to call back after work.
You said you'll come up this week.
Let's go to a bigger hospital.
I told you.
That won't make a difference.
Then do you want to continue on like this?
Are you planning to die on the mountain?
That's not a bad idea.
What about the position
at the headquarters in Wonju?
Honey, why don't you go rest
up at the residence?
Let's have dinner when I finish.
[Major rock-falling accident
at the rocky ridge of Jeonmukgol]
I'm sorry,
but wait for me at the residence.
I'll call you.
I'm really sorry,
but I must return to the mountain.
I'm really sorry.
What's going on?
The real mountain guardians
are going up...
to take care of the mountain.
[Ranger Station, Control Room.]
A major rock-falling accident occurred
at the rocky ridge of Jeonmukgol.
Most of the illegal hikers are injured.
[Rangers from all stations and shelters,
mobilize to Jeonmukgol.]
What are these?
Gosh.
Wow.
Look.
Why did they throw all these away
in this deep forest?
That's what I'm saying.
Get some help and take care of these.
Yes, sir.
[Warning: Bear Frequenting Area]
What are you doing here?
Oh, well...
I'm looking for something.
Did you lose something?
The rangers already took
all the lost articles near here.
What brings you here?
Here?
This was my hideout when I was little.
We called it
the Black Bridge Valley Shelter.
-Then...
-That's right.
This is my hometown.
This is your hometown?
Yes.
You've seen the video, right?
Yes...
What he said is all wrong.
This village didn't disappear
because of cable cars or demolition.
Villagers left
because of the ghost lights.
What do you mean?
Whenever something bad happened
to the village,
the ghost lights always came first.
I heard wild beasts' eyes glow like that
reflected in the light when it's dark.
I saw them with my own eyes this time.
The ones I saw were moon bears' eyes.
Back then,
there were no bears on the mountain.
Whatever you're looking for,
I hope you find it.
Thanks.
[Jirisan]
[You know what though?]
Today's our one-year anniversary.
[If I get the murderer,
maybe you'll wake up.]
[We should let people know
what happened in here.]
You knew this.
[Since when have you known about this?]
[We weren't the only ones
on the mountain that day.]
Jeong Gu-yeong?
[Why did you go to the mountain that day?]
It's too risky for you.
[There is a way.]
Why are they together?
[How can we? We don't know who it was.]
[Hyun-jo knew about the murderer.]

[The show is an adapted fiction based on

[All characters, events, regions,]
[organizations depicted in the show
are fictitious.]
Lee Da-won!
-Lee Da-won.
-Da-won!
Lee Da-won's cell phone signal
was last detected
[from the repeater in Seongnae Stream,
Jeonmukgol.]
She's new but still a ranger.
She must have left a sign.
There's a dead tree southeast of
Hurricane lily habitat in Jeonmukgol.
We must check under that tree.
That signal only you and Hyun-jo know?
What's this?
It's near the pebbly road at Haebawi Rock.
[How did it go? Did you find anything?]
We found a pink cell phone.
It's covered in blood.
But what about Dae-jin?
So this was recorded on Da-won's phone?
Then, let's go down together.
No. I'll go by myself.
Haedong Two!
Found the missing at the rocky ridge!
How's Da-won? Is she all right?
The missing has no vital signs.
Presumed dead.
We have a couple of things to ask...
The deceased was holding this.
Did you do that to Da-won?
Why did you do it?
And Hyun-jo, too?
You also harmed Hyun-jo?
Why did you do that? Why?
Tell Yi-gang at Haedong Ranger Station
that I didn't leave the mark this time.
He said he didn't leave the mark
this time?
When you and Hyun-jo had that accident...
Why did you go to Black Bridge Valley?
[What happened between you and Hyun-jo?]
[What were you doing with Da-won?]
[Why do you suspect the commander?]
Why did you return to the mountain?
I don't have any answers.
You shouldn't have come back.
When do you think I can quit this job?
You can't just quit any time you want to.
[It involves saving people's lives.]
[Saving people's lives is our job.]
But I'm seeing
more dead people than live ones.
[Do you remember him?]
[He came back to the mountain.]
[The mountain spirit will be infuriated
once again.]
[Mountain spirit's
not the only one up there.]
[Grandma told me a long time ago,]
[that the evil spirit comes
before the mountain spirit.]
Black Bridge Village.
Have you forgotten
all that's happened there?
Especially not
the Black Bridge Valley area.
[Don't ever go north.]
Black Bridge Valley.
[Year 1991]
Over there is
Black Bridge Village.
Oh, I see.
This place is perfect for cable cars.
We'd appreciate some help
from national park with getting consent
from the villagers.
It'll be good for the mountain
and the residents.
We're supposed to stay neutral.
We only lead the way.
Yes, okay...
How have you been?
We brought a guest with us.
This is the mayor of Black Bridge Village.
Hello.
I'm Yang Geun-tak, the president of
Mount Jirisan Development Committee.
Kim Jae-gyeong.
Pleasure to meet you.
-Leave!
-Jae-gyeong, stop!
-Get out of here!
-Please stop!
We have no intention of moving out.
Get out of here.
Mr. Kim.
I told you we'll give you
as much relocation compensation
as possible.
Seriously.
Do you think this is about money?
This place is our home
and where we stem from.
I never want to see you again.
End of conversation.
You'll...
regret this.
Then what happened?
-We can't even take a shower.
-Excuse me, coming through.
What happened?
In here.
Who could have done such a thing?
It's him! The cable car man.
He messed with the well
to kick us out of here!
That's right.
It must've been him.
Has anyone seen him putting that in there?
Don't think we've seen him doing it.
We can't report him to the police
when we're not even sure.
Are you saying we just have to see?
He won't end here.
He'll do something else to us.
Don't worry too much.
We'll do more patrols,
and think of ways
to enhance village security.
We'll protect you with all our might!
Don't worry.
[National Park Service
Jo Dae-jin]
[People started dying.]
[Three people died
from such a small village.]
[Was this a coincidence?]
[Did you guys hear that?]
And this is Black Bridge Village?
Yes, sir.
It's supposed to be in Deokseoryeong,
but it doesn't show on the map.
Shouldn't we go look?
Have there been any missing reports?
No.
Then don't worry about it.
I know we've been short of staff lately.
But let's try to finish
the mountain spirit ritual
without an issue.
But, sir.
That's enough.
He could've staged this for more views.
It could be real.
I bet his cell phone was working
well enough to post the video.
If he were in real danger,
he would've called for help.
He dropped his phone and the video ended.
Maybe it was broken,
and he couldn't have called.
You spent two hours
carrying that jerk down.
This will be exactly like that.
There's a 98 percent chance it's nothing.
You don't seem that confident,
taking that 2 percent off.
[On patrol to Black Bridge Valley,
Deokseoryeong, with Hyun-jo.]
[You guys take care of
the promotion booth for the ritual.]
[On patrol to Black Bridge Valley,
Deokseoryeong, with Hyun-jo.]
I don't care.
[On patrol to Black Bridge Valley,
Deokseoryeong, with Hyun-jo.]
[You guys take care of
the promotion booth for the ritual.]
Gosh.
Some slack off all day long
and some make a big deal
out of everything.
There's something wrong with this battery.
I told Gu-yeong to check the devices.
I'll do it when we get back.
Whatever, just take this.
What's this?
Ghosts are supposed to come
from the north today.
I was warned not to go near
Black Bridge Valley today.
I guess you don't actually hate me
if you care about me like this.
Are you trying to walk over me?
I'm a ranger.
I must be good at walking in general.
Let's go.
Hey!
Wrong way.
There's not a single soul here.
Should we go back?
-The wrestling will start soon.
-You wish.
Keep searching.
You never know when accidents happen.
Hey, what's that?
Stop the car.
[Police]
Sir?
Are you okay?
Call for assistance.
Sir!
Go away.
Get off me.
Calm down.
We're police.
Ghost... Ghost lights.
I saw ghost lights.
I saw ghost lights.
Ghost lights!
Ghost...
Up there.
Ghost lights.
Oh, okay, sir.
Granny...
What's this?
You took another day off?
-So did you.
-I only do it once in a while.
You're off every day.
You're making stuff up.
Oh, hey.
-Mr. Park.
-Hello.
-Did you eat?
-Not yet.
One second.
I'll bring something right out.
Take your time.
What are you doing?
Don't.
What are you guys up to?
Are you taking another day off?
-Yes, I am!
-What's wrong with that?
-Don't you get days off?
-I take every day off.
He takes days off all the time.
I rarely take days off.
Why are you all coming for me?
Take as much as you want.
Gosh.
Anyway,
Have you guys seen that video?
You know the guy who posted
the Black Bridge Valley video?
We found him by the road
and took him to the hospital earlier,
but he was totally out of his mind.
Didn't Yi-gang and Hyun-jo
go there earlier?
Yes. Black Bridge Village
in Deokseoryeong.
What?
Yi-gang went where?
Black Bridge Village?
Yes.
What?
Black Bridge Village is up north.
She can't go north today.
It's the day ghosts come from there.
Wow.
Now, this is something.
When did the village get demolished?
I heard 1991.
-Is this your first time here, too?
-I never had a chance to come.
There's nothing to see here,
plus it's dangerous,
so people rarely come here.
Hello?
Anyone there?
We're from national park.
Anyone?
See?
I said there's a 98 percent chance
it's nothing.
If he got stranded,
it must be around here.
Check the bushes, see if they're beat.
Let's check that side.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
Hello?
Anyone there?
We're from the national park.
Nobody?
What's wrong?
What is this?
We're back to where we started.
I think we're lost.
Turn your GPS on.
[Speed, Distance to Destination,
Coordinates, Battery]
It's not working.
What's that?
Yi-gang.
Did you see that?
What can that be?
The smell...
[Gu-yeong]
Hello?
Yi-gang and Hyun-jo? They're not back yet.
Yes.
All right. I'll try to radio them.
What was that?
Yi-gang and Hyun-jo went
to Black Bridge Valley,
but they're not back yet.
These punks!
I told them not to go.
But, sir.
The one who posted the video from
Black Bridge Valley
was found by the roadway.
But I heard he's been saying
something strange
that he saw a ghost light.
[Haedong Ranger Station, Control Room.]
No, we need to go.
[Seo Yi-gang, where are you?]
Maybe their radio broke.
Or maybe they're on their way down.
This way.
Call me if they don't return by six.
And keep trying to reach them.
They'll be all right.
It's Yi-gang.
Black Bridge Valley is different.
You've heard a saying,
"mountains hallucinate people," right?
Black Bridge Valley is that kind of place.
So, when can we start using the well?
Not for a while.
We can't drink contaminated water.
I'm sick of traveling like this
to get water.
You'll get through this.
-See you later.
-Okay, see you.
-Be careful. It's slippery.
-Okay.
My goodness.
Someone has gone missing?
Since when?
Since yesterday when she went up
to get water from the stream.
There was a bucket and bloodstains
near the stream,
so I thoroughly looked around,
but she's nowhere to be seen.
It's all because of him.
If he hadn't ruined the well,
my wife wouldn't have gone to get water.
We'll find her.
I promise.
So give us some time.
Ms. Kim!
-Ms. Kim!
-Kim Seong-suk!
Ms. Kim!
Kim Seong-suk!
Ms. Kim!
[Even park rangers get lost
near Black Bridge Village.]
[Sometimes seemingly safe paths
lead to cliffs,]
[and sometimes trails disappear.]
[The mountain is hallucinating us.]
[We must stay alert.]
Check around those trees, too.
Ms. Kim!
Ms. Kim!
Her pulse is weak!
Was she found here?
Under that tree.
[Condolences]
[It's all because of me.]
I heard she could have survived
if we were a little quicker.
I passed by that tree several times.
Had I found her a little earlier...
Let's go in.
We should see her off.
[Year 2019]
So what are those?
People say they see ghost lights
on dark and foggy nights
like this on the mountain.
Is that really a ghost light?
Of course not.
Don't you remember this smell?
What's this smell?
Dog odor combined with ammonia.
A bear.
A bear? That?
I heard wild animals' eyes
look like that when reflected in the light.
That's impossible.
I heard moon bears hate people.
Also, they aren't aggressive,
as long as we don't attack them first.
I've never seen anything like this before.
Even if they aren't aggressive,
bears are the wildest of wild beasts.
They're over 2 meters tall
and weigh over 100kg.
I don't know why they're so provoked,
but I'm sure it's more dangerous
than a ghost light.
-Pass me your walkie.
-Yes.
The battery's dead.
No signal.
We're trapped.
Mayor!
Cable cars or whatever...
I'm not leaving.
We're not here because of the cable cars.
Most of the villagers have left.
The park decided
to demolish the village, too.
-Why don't you move to--
-I'm not leaving!
How have you been?
Did you eat?
Dad keeps saying he sees things.
What do you mean?
He says he sees ghost lights.
There's no such thing.
-He saw wrong.
-No! There is.
I saw it, too.
Let's call it a day.
Yes, sir.
This way.
Why are you trying to meet him?
Are you charging him a fine?
-How's his condition?
-They say he's calmed down a lot.
That's the one.
Hello?
[So, on my way from Deokseoryeong
to Black Bridge Valley,]
[-there was some woman.]
-Excuse me?
Anyway, I called.
What did you say?
What?
Someone was at Deokseoryeong?
No, well... It was her fault.
Why did she go up there
when she clearly couldn't make it?
Don't tell me you left
a lost person there.
Could you let the rangers know
that I'm here?
Gosh, lady.
You want me to take myself in
for illegal hiking?
I'll make a report on my way down,
once I'm done with my business.
Where was it?
Well, I... I was busy, too.
Where was it?
When will they leave?
How would I know?
I'm sorry.
But...
I didn't expect such a place
in the mountains.
It must have been a secret hideout
for "Partisans."
What? There's a pole.
It must belong to illegal hikers.
There's more stuff, like crampons.
-Oh my gosh!
-Gosh.
-Yi-gang...
-What's up with you?
There's someone here.
Her breathing is too weak.
She has serious hypothermia.
We must hurry up
and get her to a hospital.
Will you be okay?
Do I have a choice?
There's been a missing report.
Please gather at the restricted trail
entrance in Deokseoryeong.
I called each shelter
and the rangers on their day off.
Any news from Yi-gang and Hyun-jo?
No.
But...
Those two aren't the only ones up there.
Yi-gang, We're back again.
You all right?
What's that?
Gosh.
-What happened? We couldn't reach you.
-Hey.
Who's that?
-And what's that?
-Carry her.
Quick!
-There.
-Hurry up!
What is that?
Hurry up!
In here.
Watch your step.
On two.
What happened?
-She's in a bad state.
-I know.
That's why we were trying so hard
to get down, but can't find the way out.
Same here.
We kept going around in one direction
since the foggy area.
We could only come
because of your flashlights.
-What's that thing?
-Bears.
-What?
-What?
No way. Hold on.
Then are we trapped?
Hang on. There must be a way.
A way? What way?
You got lost in here, too.
-Calm yourself down.
-Don't tell me to calm down.
Why did you come up here
in the first place and get us into this?
Did I tell you to come?
-Go back down then.
-Hey.
-Stop it, both of you.
-Stop what?
The promotion test is
only a few days away,
and I'm wasting my precious time here.
You took a day off just for that?
When everyone else is busy?
Just for that?
This is very important for me.
I'm meeting Yang-sun's mother soon.
I should at least have a team leader title
because I've got nothing else!
Hey.
Now's not the time for that.
Team leader is only a title.
Shut up. You're already a team leader.
Hey! Do you think
it's all fun and games for me?
I haven't gotten a single day of rest
since I got promoted.
And now...
I can't use my legs.
I might not be able to walk
if I keep climbing the mountain.
Her condition has gotten worse.
I don't think she can last long.
[Park Il-hae. Can you hear me?]
[-Did you get to Black Bridge Valley?]
-Yes, sir.
We met Yi-gang and Hyun-jo.
[We got a call about a missing person]
[between Deokseoryeong
and Black Bridge Valley.]
You mean the woman in a red jacket?
You found her?
How is she?
Not good. We must take her
to the hospital immediately.
Our situation's not that great.
We can't find our way out.
It's hard to secure a clear view
because of the fog,
and the GPS is no use.
Plus, moon bears aren't leaving our side
for some reason.
[Yi-gang and Hyun-jo tried to carry
the victim down, but they failed.]
Let me talk to Yi-gang.
This is Yi-gang speaking.
[Take the lead and find the way.]
[You're the fastest,
and you know the mountain best.]
I'm not confident.
I keep getting lost.
[I almost got lost there too once.]
[And a missing person ended up dying
because of me.]
[I pondered and found out why.]
It was because I was tracing
the animal path, not the human one.
I'll take her. You just hurt your knees.
I'll do it. My knees are newer than yours.
The man-made path leads to the village,
but the one made by animals
is the opposite.
If you feel like you're going around
in a circle, go the opposite way.
[Abandon everything
except your headlamps and walkies.]
[Make yourselves as light as possible.]
[Hyun-jo, you take the front
since you can steadily carry her.]
[Gu-yeong, assist him,
and Il-hae, the rear.]
[You failed when you were in pairs,
but now it's four of you.]
Trust one another.
[Don't worry about anything, just run.]
[Your fellow rangers
will watch your back.]
Let's go. Run!
What's the matter? What happened?
Please get rid of the trees, too.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
Had I saved her,
could I have saved this village?
Do you
want to quit this job?
Quitting won't end it.
You'll keep seeing dead people
on the mountain,
and only feel guiltier with time.
You can't escape the mountain
even if you want to.
With that sympathy in your mind,
try to save people with all your heart.
That's our job.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
What happened to the missing person?
They'll save her.
They're different from me.
You come here every year.
[Kim Jae-gyeong]
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm Jeong Gu-yeong.
He's my coworker that I've talked about.
Isn't he cute?
I appreciate everything you do
for my daughter.
By the way, how tall...
Why would you ask something like that?
Around 170cm...
Maybe 171...
This is a gift to
the Best Ranger of the Month,
Mr. Jeong Gu-yeong
from the chief of
Mount Jirisan National Park.
He will also be paying
for your food today.
Please enjoy.
-The Best Ranger of the Month?
-Yes.
You must be really good
at what you're doing.
Of course, he's an excellent ranger.
Oh, yes.
They're so beautiful.
They're beautiful like you.
The chief must have sent them for you.
Do you like flowers?
Of course.
They're beautiful.
So pretty.
See? What did I tell you?
I knew he'd come empty-handed.
Things are looking good.
What's the time? We have to patrol
the mountain spirit ritual.
What?
You still have that thing?
Throw it away.
That's up to me. It's mine now.
Let's go. The ritual must have begun.
Oh, he keeps on getting cute with me.
-Hey.
-I'm glad you're here.
Have you looked for moon bears
near Black Bridge Valley?
I have.
We have Number 35
and her two cubs born this winter.
Are you sure they chased you?
They're such sweet babies.
You think I made that up? Say something.
It's true.
Maybe you provoked them first.
Are you nuts?
Well, anyhow.
I guess you should thank the bears.
You got to save someone thanks to them.
You said you found her
while being chased by the bears.
Without a missing report,
it would have been impossible to find
her hidden in the rocks otherwise.
No way. We saved her, not the bears.
-It was the bears.
-You have no idea.
-What?
-We nearly died.
-Is that so?
-You're driving me insane.
[Jirisan National Park,
Ranger]
That doesn't make any sense.
Come on, thanks to the bears?
They guided you there.
To find the person.
What? You're insane.
Well, that's a surprise.
Why don't you answer your phone?
I was going to call back after work.
You said you'll come up this week.
Let's go to a bigger hospital.
I told you.
That won't make a difference.
Then do you want to continue on like this?
Are you planning to die on the mountain?
That's not a bad idea.
What about the position
at the headquarters in Wonju?
Honey, why don't you go rest
up at the residence?
Let's have dinner when I finish.
[Major rock-falling accident
at the rocky ridge of Jeonmukgol]
I'm sorry,
but wait for me at the residence.
I'll call you.
I'm really sorry,
but I must return to the mountain.
I'm really sorry.
What's going on?
The real mountain guardians
are going up...
to take care of the mountain.
[Ranger Station, Control Room.]
A major rock-falling accident occurred
at the rocky ridge of Jeonmukgol.
Most of the illegal hikers are injured.
[Rangers from all stations and shelters,
mobilize to Jeonmukgol.]
What are these?
Gosh.
Wow.
Look.
Why did they throw all these away
in this deep forest?
That's what I'm saying.
Get some help and take care of these.
Yes, sir.
[Warning: Bear Frequenting Area]
What are you doing here?
Oh, well...
I'm looking for something.
Did you lose something?
The rangers already took
all the lost articles near here.
What brings you here?
Here?
This was my hideout when I was little.
We called it
the Black Bridge Valley Shelter.
-Then...
-That's right.
This is my hometown.
This is your hometown?
Yes.
You've seen the video, right?
Yes...
What he said is all wrong.
This village didn't disappear
because of cable cars or demolition.
Villagers left
because of the ghost lights.
What do you mean?
Whenever something bad happened
to the village,
the ghost lights always came first.
I heard wild beasts' eyes glow like that
reflected in the light when it's dark.
I saw them with my own eyes this time.
The ones I saw were moon bears' eyes.
Back then,
there were no bears on the mountain.
Whatever you're looking for,
I hope you find it.
Thanks.
[Jirisan]
[You know what though?]
Today's our one-year anniversary.
[If I get the murderer,
maybe you'll wake up.]
[We should let people know
what happened in here.]
You knew this.
[Since when have you known about this?]
[We weren't the only ones
on the mountain that day.]
Jeong Gu-yeong?
[Why did you go to the mountain that day?]
It's too risky for you.
[There is a way.]
Why are they together?
[How can we? We don't know who it was.]
[Hyun-jo knew about the murderer.]
