Don't worry.

She just drank a lot of water.

Goodbye. Yes.

Mi Na, I brought these socks.

I was going to let you wear

them.

You can use them to wipe

all your tears if you cry.

Okay.

Aigoo. Does it hurt?

This side is dirty. Is it okay?

Yes, it's fine.

-=Clear Water Motel=-

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

We reserved a heated room

for you.

This is the key and the invoice.

Thank you.

The room should have been

but there's a lot of red tape.

Hold onto the invoice and it

can be handled later.

Okay.

Classical. Classical.

It's not bad. I don't mind

classical music.

Do you like classical music?

I heard it for the first time after

I graduated from high school.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Ajussi, I'm going to sleep for

a while.

Okay. I'll go back to my car.

If you need anything, call me.

And, there's this.

Here is the button.

Keep this light off or the

battery will die.

I'll leave it on until you

get back to your car.

Thank you.

It was nice to meet you.

Mi Na, turn on the light!

I'm sorry. Tangie is biting

the flashlight.

Tangie, let go.

Tangie, that little son of a b*tch.

You son of a b*tch. Damn you!

Ajussi, is something wrong?

No. I was dreaming. Dreaming.

Eat some of this.

Aigoo. That's enough!

Eat it while it's hot.

You should rest.

You're all working so hard to

save my husband.

Thank you.

I should do something.

Thank you.

Enjoy your food!

Let me get you some...

That's okay. That's okay.

It's fine. It's fine.

Ajussi.

Ajussi, come here.

Okay!

Ajussi, will it take them a long

time to get here?

They'll come for us very soon.

Just wait a little longer.

He said they're definitely

coming.

Mi Na, are you okay?

My ribs hurt so it's hard to

breathe.

Just hold on a little longer.

I'll go call them.

Ajussi, I'm sorry, but do you

have any water?

I'm sorry, but I drank it all.

Wait, Mi Na. I'll go get some

for you.

Wait a moment.

Okay. There's a little bit left.

Tangie, you'd better stay away.

You know what this is, right?

Mi Na. Mi Na?

Mi Na.

What's wrong? Don't scare me.

Mi Na, I brought water.

Mi Na.

Hold on. I'll help you move

back.

Mi Na, I'm sorry.

Yesterday, a victim in the Hado

Tunnel died.

An investigation is underway

into the cause for the collapse.

A lot of information is emerging

regarding shoddy construction.

Two-thirds of our 121 tunnels

were recently inspected.

More than 78 tunnels are not up

to standards, which is causing

widespread concern.

But it's not visible from the

In Korea, there's not one company

that follows FM standards.

That's just tempting fate,

isn't that right?

That's just tempting fate,

isn't that right?

Didn't you say you'd rescue me

before I drank all the water?

=Yes. I'm sorry.=

Truthfully, you can't do it, right?

No. We will. I will get you out.

Just wait a while longer.

We will definitely get in there.

=You're saving urine in the

empty bottles, right?=

Urine is sterile, so you can

drink it.

Did you drink it before?

=I'm sorry. I never have.=

-=9 days after collapse=-

Go away, brat.

What is that?

Where did this come from?

You ate my cake last time.

Two for me. One for you.

My nose is bigger than yours,

so I get four.

You get two.

Understand?

Okay, Tangie. Eat up.

Eat. Eat. It's okay. Relax.

It's okay. Relax.

Your food needs seasoning.

Don't look. Don't look.

Don't look. Look away.

Here it is.

I absolutely won't let you

open this.

Should I take this off?

Wow. This is something.

Bad dog.

Be still. It has a button.

Is this nice?

You need to learn to bury it

like a cat does.

Who do you think is going to

clean up after you?

Who will pick it up?

There's no way I could

drink your urine.

Yes.

How is the digging progressing?

How is the digging progressing?

=Because it's relatively hard,

it's been going slowly.=

=Within 10 days we should

surely be through.=

=Plus, we have to shore up the

tunnel entrance properly.=

=We should start digging today.=

22. 23. 24.

24. 10.

Lee Jeong Su, I... drank urine.

Why would you drink urine?

I had never done it, so I felt

bad telling you to do it.

Also... don't drink it right away.

Let it cool first. That helps.

You've given me a lot of

encouragement. Thank you.

Do you want some?

Tangie, this is orange juice.

My body can squeeze out

orange juice.

That's weird, right?

Honey, I found water.

Drinking water.

=It tasted sweet.=

=Sweet water?=

=Don't be worrying about me.=

=You must eat properly, okay?=

=Okay. I'll call you later.=

Are you doing okay?

I heard you drank urine.

How much did you drink?

Seriously, he shouldn't have

told you.

It was a paper cup.

Not like this one...

About the size of that one.

Do you want a drink?

Drink it yourself.

=As our audience friends know,=

=the only radio station Lee

Jeong Su can receive=

=in the tunnel is our station.=

=If the rescue team loses

contact with him before the

rescue,=

=we will broadcast at 12:00=

=for 5 minutes to pass the

rescue news to Lee Jeong Su.=

=We hope everyone can

understand.=
