–The First Responders Episode 11 Recap Contains Spoilers-
The First Responders episode 11 picks up from where the last one ended. Ho-gae figures out where Hyunseo was kept hostage the entire time. The police search the entire place and collect multiple pieces of evidence against the perpetrator. The kidnapper was none other than a nurse working at the hospital who was also stalking the little girl.
Things soon went south when Ho-gae was framed again for a crime, and his father, the Chief Prosecutor himself, came to arrest him. But due to a few technicalities, they had to let him go. Without wasting even a minute, he went ahead to investigate the whereabouts of Hyunseo. The police department also joined in.
Finally, Ho-gae reaches the location where the victim was held in. The perpetrator reveals that he was obsessed with the girl, and it angered him when he saw Ho-gae treating the girl badly. Hence, he decided to kidnap her to teach him a lesson. He even cut the toes of the girl, so she is unable to walk.

The police arrive at the scene and save the girl. The fire department immediately takes her to the hospital for medical assistance. Ho-gae somehow manages to save his life, but the perpetrator runs away from the scene. Ultimately after he gets ahold of the kidnapper, he loses control and tries to kill him, but Bong Do-jin arrives at the scene and stops him from committing the crime.
Back at the hospital, the girl suffers from memory loss and cannot recognise her grandmother. But as soon as she sees Ho-gae, she remembers him and blames him for her plight. Unable to bear the blame, Ho-gae leaves the hospital.
In the last few minutes of the episode, we get to the reconciliation of many relationships. Ho-gae and Song Seol are also getting closer to each other. A newfound relationship develops between them, and the episode ends on that note.
