This is more serious than the

situation with the nuclear reactor.

If the tank explodes, everything

is over.

=If you want to quickly resolve

this, we need a current status.=

I understand.

I can check it quickly.

The bottom of the water tank

has a crack 10 cm wide and 3

meters long.

Cooling water is being lost

through that crack.

The crack must be patched in

order to be watertight.

The issue is that the cooling

water in the tank is knee deep.

But people can't tolerate a high

concentration of radiation for

more than a few minutes.

Then how are you going to do it?

We need people to come in who

can work desperately hard.

We need people to come in who

can work to the end.

The more, the better.

Please, get going!

What's holding us up?

How can they abandon their

car like that?

If they abandon their cars,

the road will be completely

blocked and we can't move!

No, it will come down here.

Then that car doesn't matter?

If this keeps up, we'll be in

radiation. Do you want to die?

Just look. The wind is blowing

this way.

=The radiation 100 km from

the Hanbyul power plant is now

several times over normal.=

=Radiation has spread

throughout the Daegu area.=

Everyone get off the bus!

Let's go. If we stay here,

we'll all suffer harm!

Everyone get off. Cover your

body tightly. Let's go.

Min Jae, let's go.

Move over. We can go alone.

Hurry.

Get off quickly. If you're tired,

you'll have to endure it.

Min Jae, hold your mom's hand.

Mom, where are we going?

Hurry. Hurry. Go this way.

Walk along that side.

Don't get separated. Everyone

stay together!

Hurry.

Catch up with them.

Hurry! Go quickly!

Everybody stay together.

Oppa.

=Where are all of you?=

What are you doing?

Why do you always call?

Where are all of you?

We didn't get very far.

Right now, everyone is walking.

You can't walk far. Why did

you get off the bus?

What should we do? There's

too much traffic to move.

Everyone is abandoning their

cars and running away.

I understand.

Just get away.

Even if you're tired, don't rest

and keep going.

Get as far away as possible.

Oppa, you're okay, aren't you?

You'll catch up to us, right?

You just hurry and go.

Don't worry about me and leave.

I'll call you later.

Urgent breaking news.

In order to repair a crack in the

water tank for Hanbyul No. 1

nuclear reactor,

putting together a repair team

has become a problem.

The mission was discussed with

the Air Force earlier.

Forcing a serviceman to perform

a certain-death mission is an

infringement of human rights.

President Gang Seok Ho issued

this order.

A team of experts is now

looking for other ways.

President Gang Seok Ho will

soon make a national address.

Kong Su hyeong!

The President is about to make

an urgent address.

What is he going to say now?

What is he saying?

Citizens,

I have been an incompetent

president.

I feel very sorry and ashamed

to stand in front of all of you.

The reason I am standing here,

is because I need to ask

something very difficult.

Hanbyul reactor No. 1 has now

reached an irreversible point.

The situation that has developed,

truthfully, the government is

not able to take any steps.

Also, it cannot be mandatory for

experts or the military to solve

the problem,

because no one wants to enter

a land of certain death.

This would be like committing

suicide.

I am also unable to issue

that kind of order,

because that would be like murder.

That is why I am making this

request of our citizens.

We now need people to enter

into that place of death.

We now need people to enter

into that place of death.

For their families, for their

neighbors.

Volunteers to carry out repair

work for the sake of this country's future.

In place of an incompetent

government,

for this country and this nation.

We are waiting for those who

can save their families and

neighbors.

- I ask this of you.

- What is this bullshit?

A bunch of garbage!

Where will they find people

without any brains?

They obviously know it means

death.

This accident was because of

them,

but the people have to fix it.

Those sons of b*tches.

A**holes.

Get out of the way.

Kong Su hyeong.

Should we go in there?

What are you saying?

Aren't we the only ones who can?

Wasn't I a technician working

there?

Shut up and listen to me.

Going in means you'll die, kid.

Since you and I have already

been exposed to radiation,

will we live that much longer

anyway?

You'd better shut your mouth

before I tear off your lips!

Excuse me.

We... aren't going to live

very long,

isn't that right?

See.

Everyone...

let's go in there!

Do you have a mental problem?

Why would we go in there?

You must be crazy!

That's exactly right.

This kid isn't feeling well.

Come on.

If nobody goes in, then

everyone is going to die!

Then who else will go in?

We're the best ones for it!

There's no one else but us!

You idiot.

Actually, we had imagined this.

We warned them that it was

very dangerous,

but they ignored us.

Now, something has happened.

From the beginning, they acted

as if nothing had happened and

tried to deceive everyone.

Now people are dead.

Does it make any sense that

the people have to clean it up?

I agree with you.

Why should we have to die for

this bullshit country?

You're crazy. You've lost

your mind.

Come here, come here.

But, but...

our families are enough of

a reason.

They're trying to get far away

to escape the radiation,

but the roads are jammed.

The cars aren't even moving.

They're all now walking on

their feet.

If we... If we don't stand up,

our families will also die.

Even if it's unfair and it's sad,

there's no other way.

We have to go.

No one but us will go inside.

Okay guys,

let's go inside.

If none of you will go,

I will go in alone.

Fine. Let's go.

Let's go inside.

Whether it's fast or slow,

we're all going to die anyway.

If you can still walk, you need

to get up.

Let's go!

I'm going, too!

Let's go.

I'll go.

Let's go.

Let's go! Let's do it!

What did you say?

We have some volunteers.

The volunteers... who are they?

What did you say?

What did you say just now?

We're going inside.

=Are you crazy?=

Why do you have to go in?

You'll die if you go in!

=Yeon Ju.=

I was already exposed to

radiation in the power station.

I won't live very long anyway.

Didn't you say you would come?

Didn't you say you'd catch up

to us?

I wanted to come,

but now it's like this.

Then what am I supposed to do?

What about your mother?

Sister-in-law?

And also Min Jae?

That's why I'm going in there.

To save you...

Mom, sister-in-law, Min Jae,

to save your lives.

What good will it be for me to

live without you?

I can't.

I won't let you.

Don't go in there!

Don't be like this.

=You absolutely can't!=

If you go in there, I'll break up

with you.

=Yeon Ju.=

Yeon Ju.

Did Jae Hyeok call you?

Yes.

What did he say? What was it?

He said he's behind us.

That child, he even ignores his
