Libera Me Page #2

Synopsis: Two decades before the story begins, a young girl saves her younger brother from drowning at the hands of their abusive father. The boy watches as his sister and father are consumed by flames triggering within him a psychotic fascination with fire. He brings his new interest in flames to light by burning down the children's ward at the hospital where he was housed. By the time the story begins, the boy has grown into a man and has perfected his arsonist's tendencies. The fire department finds their hands full battling, not only blazes (and Seoul's traffic problems) but a lunatic bent on eliminating those who would stop his fires.

Insurance only covers the basics.

Burns infect easily.

With infection, the patient can die.

The patient has to pay for that.

Ha! You're killing me!

You guys are out to drive us crazy!

Sh*t! Listen. A fire!

It's bad enough he got hurt

putting out a fire! Now pay up?

Wait, so the police and military

get it for free but we have to pay?

Nonsense!

Man, I could just blow a fuse!

Anyway, I've informed the family.

Please make a decision soon.

What? Excuse me. Wait.

Oh, hey.

When did you get here?

Gasoline?

Yeah. The path of the fire

was unnatural.

Even though the window was open, the

fire moved against the flow of air.

It looks like someone kept feeding the

fire, while constantly watching us.

Constantly? From in here?

Um...

I've already told the

police everything.

Sorry to keep bothering you.

It's just that a gas explosion

from your home started the fire.

- Did you use a gas heater, by any

chance? - No, nothing like that.

My husband comes home for lunch every

day. He had lunch on that day, too.

My mom and husband were home.

And I was at the supermarket.

It was about the time my child

came home so I went to

the kindergarten to pick her up.

But the school bus had already left.

So I thought my child was at home.

The gas must have leaked.

It was such an old building...

- By any chance...

- Please...

Please, don't come anymore.

I need to go to the hospital.

My daughter must be hungry.

I hope your husband gets well soon.

Let's go.

Sang-woo. It's so hard.

New member, Jung Jong-Gu.

On Dec. 15, 2000, appointed to

85th Station, reporting for duty!

It's an honor.

What's an honor?

First in early extinguishment.

First in rescue.

The 85th Station is a legend, isn't it?

Legend, whatever. Damn.

Hey, take your bag off.

Take your bag off quick.

Lower yourself.

- Yo, new recruit!

- Yes?

You think a legend just happens, huh?

Hold tight!

Ah! Help me! Ow. It hurts. Help me.

I went through that, too.

I was only in my underwear.

Be thankful, okay?

- Hey, do it right.

- Pull out a chair.

Help yourself. It's delicious.

Hey, you eat now, too.

Yes. Thank you!

Here's to a good meal!

Wow, this is really good.

He was the Chief's brother.

He and Sang-woo were partners.

They were a fantastic team.

Like you said, they were

a legend, a legend.

And it's not a spoken promise

but always leave a place for In-soo.

I'm sorry. I will never

sit there again.

That's not what I mean, buddy.

Uh, it's itchy again.

Damn, so much for

getting married. Follow me.

Yes.

Hmm, go in.

You go first, sir.

Go in, I said. Hurry up!

Have a good time.

What happened?

- Harder, chief.

- Think back when you were young.

- You were really hard on me. You

were, bro. - Don't make me laugh.

- Should we raise it?

- Raise it, come on.

Generate sound effects.

The Young-jun Pharmacy case, at least.

There are some records,

since you investigated, right?

Hey, where's Chief Kang's report?

I asked the chief to hold off.

We're still investigating.

What are you doing?

Our duty's to investigate off

of your report. Our duty!

But why are you here

asking for our reports? Huh?

These are pictures of your boyfriend.

Can you handle it?

- What about the depositions?

- There are none. Zero.

Detective Seol.

Listen carefully. I understand

how you feel but this fire

was just a gas explosion.

A gas explosion. An accidental fire.

You confuse things up like that time

and I won't take it. Got it?

It's not that there wasn't an arsonist,

but you couldn't catch one, right?

What?

Give me the depositions.

This is Chul-goo's equipment.

This is Chul-goo's.

Hyun-tae, I hear your suits trashed?

Yes.

Use this for now.

This is In-soo's.

And this is for you.

I've never regretted becoming a fire

fighter. He probably felt the same way.

Whoever saved 'Chu Chu' last week,

telephone for you in the lobby.

- Say it loudly, okay?

- Yeah, it's a puppy so we'll take it.

- Chu Chu.

- How can we find your mom?

- Okay. I'll put him on.

- Oh, it's Chu Chu's owner.

Is this Sung-jung?

Is Chu Chu fine?

Where's your mom?

You want me to find your mom?

Oh, I have to go. Sorry.

Geumjung 2 Dong Fire Station.

Jo Sang-woo speaking. Yes?

- I can't hear you very well.

- Let's go, bro.

Sang-woo, hurry up. Hurry.

Go.

- 27-2. This is 85-1. - This is 27-2.

Looking into present situation.

Damn, I thought today was quiet.

Why gas? That's the f***ing worst.

- This is 85-1.

- 85-4 already on scene. Not a big one.

It being a gas station, look carefully

into a possible second explosion.

And good news for you. Kim Chul-goo

has regained consciousness.

- Thank you.

- Sure. Be well in the cold.

What was that phone call about?

I don't know. A wrong number, I think.

Something like 'don't interfere'.

- What?

- Sounded like a prank call.

- Ha, ha. Chul-goo's back!

- Man, Chul-goo made it. He made it.

Welcome chief. We closed the corner

because of the gas.

Yo, bro. I don't think

we need to unload.

- Sang-woo.

- Yes.

It's our district so be fully prepared

for a second explosion.

- Hyun-tae.

- Yes?

- Go and confirm if the valve

is locked first. - Sure.

Sang-woo, Ax, examine the gas tank

area and make sure of the origin point.

And just in case, go fully equipped.

Let's hurry up and go. It's cold.

Let's finish it quick,

and go to the hospital.

Excuse me. One second.

Do I have to pay again?

Why did you bring two fire trucks?

We don't take money.

Where's the origin of fire?

Over there. There.

- Move back.

- Clear the way, please.

It's dangerous.

- Is this the origin point?

- No. I'm just taking a picture.

I should report the owner. There are

illegal gas tanks in the back.

The temperature of the tanks is rising.

Park Han-moo!

What's up?

Re- examine the tank area.

Something's not right.

What? What's wrong with the tanks?

- Where does that pipe lead to?

- I've never seen that pipe before.

It's strange.

Get out!

Move!

God dammit.

Let's go!

Run!

Water!

Water!

Water! Water!

Who the hell are you?

Jae-hyuk! Jae-hyuk!

Take pictures. Take everything.

Pictures of everything.

Move.

Bang.

Move!

Go! Hurry up!

- Get me out of here!

- Grab it.

Uh, damn.

Let's go. Go, go!

- Sang-woo! Ax! Jun-sung!

- Snap out of it!

Jun-sung! Jun-sung!

Gotta save them, save them!

Sang-woo!

Hey, Chul-goo! Get up now, buddy.

Even the baby in your wife's belly

would laugh at you.

- Jun-sung.

- What?

The gas station owner,

is he dead?

Didn't you see the body bag?

Once you're inside, you're nothing.

Still, for a fire that size,

not too bad. Not bad.

Detective Park, that's not the way

to do it. What is this?

Detective Park.

Okay.

Please search this number for me.

It's for Detective Seol.

- Really?

- Yes.

Remember the Phoenix Fire

Insurance case, last month?

I'll give you some info.

Oh, it's okay. It's okay. It's fine.

Young-jun...

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Oh, it's warm here.

You must have been cold.

Shall I turn up the heat?
