The First Responders Episode 6 Recap
The episode starts immediately with the fire department rushing towards an ongoing emergency needing immediate assistance. Along with them, the police arrive at the scene led by Jin Ho-gae, who discovers a boy trapped inside one of the buildings and rescues him. Both departments worked together tirelessly and were successful in putting out the fire.
A victim was found at the scene, and the post-partum of the dead burnt body was shown in graphic detail, which proved that the male was murdered. Upon investigation, it was also found that the incident was ruled a case of arson. Ho-gae starts investigating the crime scene and finds multiple shreds of evidence pointing towards the suspect.
But things turn south when all the evidence, the DNA on the crime scene and the victim, the fingerprints on the weapon, and the shoe prints all turn out to be of Jin Ho-gae, which indicates that he was the arsonist and murderer and is sent to jail immediately. But he manages to escape the facility and starts looking for evidence to prove his innocence. He immediately goes to meet the victim he had saved earlier, which leads him to the homeless sector, where he reaches in hopes of finding evidence about the actual criminal. He doubted Ma Tae-hwa was behind the situation, but he became sure after a quick phone call with him.
Song Seol also arrives at the scene upon discovering that Ho-gae went there. They both start conversing, leading them to a man who might be linked to the crime. The police are also chasing him, and as they are about to reach his location, they are surprised to see that Ho-gae has arrived at the police station to surrender, but he has another person with him. The episode ends right there on a cliffhanger.
