Everyone must treat this as

if it were their own family,

and put in their best effort.

Also, there is construction

nearby for a second Hado tunnel.

That will be suspended for now.

There's another tunnel here?

Yes. It's currently under

construction nearby.

They were working on the

final section.

Will the second tunnel in the

area also be affected?

Because the opening of the new

Hado city is not far away,

it must be completed as soon

as possible.

Consult the experts and then

get started.

Let's do all that we can.

Will that be enough now?

Are there enough here now?

Yes.

Wait, wait, wait! We have to

change cards. Just a moment.

Such a headache.

Here we go! The people in

front, crouch down a bit.

Get a bit lower.

Crouch down a bit lower.

You're blocking our view!

Okay. Thank you!

Let's go. Let's go.

Okay.

Send them in now! Send them!

We don't want the drones to

hit anyone!

Please don't get too close!

What the hell's going on?

Okay.

What? What happened?

They lost the signal.

It's not very far from here.

They have a range of 5 km.

If the signal is weak, then the

range will be shorter.

There must be a lot of iron ore

in there.

If wireless doesn't work,

can't you use wired ones?

This is the only type of device

I have.

But if you want to get through

there,

we have some at the factory.

Okay. Then call a courier to

deliver them quickly.

What are you doing?

Where's your factory?

Ontario. In America.

Aigoo.

Hey. You stay here.

Can you do it alone?

Yes.

The whole thing is collapsed.

Your wife is on the phone!

Tell her I'll call her back.

And you, don't honk that horn.

Got it?

I'm sorry!

Idiot.

Has he gone crazy?

What?

Sorry, I pressed it by accident.

Sorry.

Captain!

Lee Jeong Su is on the phone!

Yes, Lee Jeong Su.

Is there someone around here?

=What?=

I think I just heard a car horn

honk twice.

=Really?=

Oh! I heard it again! Again!

That... is me.

He can hear that?

I just heard the horn honk

5 times again.

Yes, yes! Lee Jeong Su.

We might see you sooner than

we expected.

=Really?=

=Thank you! Thank you!=

Lee Jeong Su, get down in

your car immediately!

=Protect yourself!=

The phone! Phone! Phone!

Captain! Captain!

Captain, are you all right?

Give me a phone!

You can't come in! You can't!

Hello? Lee Jeong Su!

Can you hear me? Can you hear?

I hear you.

=Are you okay?=

It collapsed a bit more,

but I'm okay.

There was just another major

collapse at the entrance!

=I'm sorry.=

It says ventilation fan #3.

=Number 3. Number 3.=

Your wife...

What did you say?

=It looks like your wife has

come here.=

=Do you want to talk to her?=

Yes. Put her on. Put her on.

=Oppa, are you okay?=

Did you have breakfast?

You're asking me that now?

=I'm really fine.=

I'll call you again later.

Remember to eat breakfast.

Yesterday at 8:
30 a.m.,

the rescue team was able to

accurately locate Lee Jeong Su's

position.

From the surface, we plan to

drill about 180 meters down,

to open a rescue channel

towards Lee Jeong Su.

We also intend to enter from

the south entrance.

According to the President's

we will use all means possible

in order to save Lee Jeong Su.

Therefore, our rescue team feels

using a 2-track method

will be the fastest way to

carry out the rescue.

Our government will do its best.

This is Lee Jeong Su's wife.

Aigoo. Aigoo.

I will rely on you.

Who's there?

Mutt!

Get!

Why are you here?

Hello? Is someone out there?

I'm over here.

Are you hurt?

I'm pinned down.

Please help me!

Wait a moment.

Ajussi!

You're not leaving are you?

Please don't leave me!

I'm not going anywhere. Wait.

I'm stuck here too.

-=Rescue Captain, there is

I'm coming, so wait just a bit.

Ajussi, you're coming aren't you?

Yes, I'm coming. Hang on.

Did something happen?

It's okay. I'm coming. It's fine.

I'm fine. Nothing happened.

It's all right.

I'm on my way.

That hurts.

Almost there.

Mutt.

You're in here.

I... I can't move.

I need to get in there first.

Okay.

You need to move.

I'll try to move some of the

rocks and see.

I'm sorry. It's very tight here.

It won't even budge.

Are you okay?

Ajussi, the light.

The light.

Otherwise I'm fine.

But my ribs hurt a bit.

Your ribs?

Should I try to move the

chair back?

I don't think it will move.

How long have we been

trapped in here?

I think about 2 days and

7 hours.

What's going to happen to us?

Will we die?

No. Right now, all of South

Korea is out there.

They're doing everything they

can to rescue us.

Is that true?

Of course.

Thank goodness.

So when are we going to get out?

Probably...

When I talked to them on

the phone,

they said it would probably

take a few days.

He doesn't have any injuries?

I don't think so.

He still seems pretty lively.

But, what kind of collar is this?

It's a bark-control collar.

Tangie. Tangie?

Tangie, come here.

Tangie.

Do you... I'm sorry.

What?

Do you have any water?

Water?

I have some in my car.

I'll go get it.

Enough?

A little... a little more.

It's not good to drink very

much all of a sudden.

Just drink a little bit to get

your throat moist.

That's fine.

Ajussi.

Yes.

Could you give Tangie a bit?

Just pour a little in your hands.

Okay. Of course.

Tangie, come here.

Ajussi will give you a drink.

No, no. You can't come

that way.

Come this way.

Tangie, come here.

Right.

Here.

Ajussi.

That's good.

Can you help me look for

my phone?

It's all broken. It won't turn on.

I'm sorry to trouble you again.

What?

Could I use your phone

for a moment?

I need to make a call.

Okay.

I'll help you.

Mom, it's me. Mi Na.

Yes.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Mom.

I'm... trapped inside a tunnel.

Yes. Yes.

No. I'm not alone.

I'm here with another man.

Don't worry.

I'll be able to get out in a few

days.

Yes.

Mom, I miss you.

But Mom, I can't talk very long.

We have to save the battery.

And Mom, would you call

my work for me?

Explain everything to them.

Mom, don't cry.

I'm okay.

Ajussi, we're going to be out

in a few days, right?

Yes. Of course.

Mom, we'll be out of here

within a week.

Tell them I'll be able to attend
