(20 years ago)
You dare go against my order?
I didn't disobey.
I carried out what you asked perfectly.
I told you to find a way to get the investigators to come around.
When did I tell you to kill them?
Destroying everything that could pose a threat...
is the solution I came up with.
That way, there will be no future issues.
Are you out of your mind?
You must side with me now, Colonel.
To the end, as long as I'm in uniform.
Lee Jae Sik.
One day, over this, I will have to get rid of you.
But I will never let you take me out.
I'll become a monster, step on and climb over the men,
and get to the top.
(Present day)
(Do Be Man)
(No Hwa Young)
The one who didn't have the heart of a soldier...
turned out to be the son of the two who did.
Do Be Man.
It's you, isn't it?
You're the boy that I saved.
No Hwa Young.
- You... - You killed my parents.
It was an accident.
It was tragic and very heartbreaking,
but it was still just a coincidental car accident.
I had no reason to kill your parents.
No. There's a proof.
There's a proof?
The proof is...
you, No Hwa Young.
With this hand, you checked if my parents were breathing.
I remember it clearly.
I waited for this moment.
I can shoot you on the spot for mutiny.
Yes. That's right, Division Commander.
You knew about it?
Why did you not show it?
A long time has passed.
After the accident, I had amnesia for a while.
I thank you sincerely for saving me then, ma'am.
You're fearless and rash.
A lot like your father.
The fact that I am his daughter will never go away.
Yong Moon Gu.
You entered this office with three different faces.
As the prosecutor who framed my father and took him down.
As No Tae Nam's groveling lawyer.
And now you're here as No Hwa Young's puppet CEO.
You've always been wearing a mask.
A mask?
Since we're talking about that,
shall we talk about the mask that you're wearing?
You won't be able to do it yourself.
I will rip off the mask for you.
This will be on tomorrow's morning news,
but it's best you know first.
Since you came all the way here.
"A military prosecutor currently in the army..."
"has been taking justice into her own hands."
"A military prospector, a guardian of the law,"
"indulged in kidnapping, confinement, and assault."
"Not only will it impact the public,"
"but the prosecutor in question will be brought to justice."
(Episode 11)
- Mr. Choi? - Oh, right.
Mr. Yong.
I came straight from the airport.
The trip took longer than expected,
and I had to miss the inauguration. My apologies.
There wasn't a ceremony.
Anyway, you've done good work.
There was disorder in the company,
but now it has found stability again thanks to you.
The company has seen three CEOs in its time,
so no one adds more stability than you...
who've served all of them.
Don't you agree?
Those are generous words, sir.
Will you finally be moving forward...
with your plans for the company?
Will I move forward?
It's already been in motion for six years...
since the day I entered this office alongside General No.
The claw that remains hidden...
always gives you the upper hand.
Have you sobered up?
Hey.
I was a bit drunk that night, wasn't I?
Oh, right.
You dropped this at my residence.
I looked everywhere for this. Is that where it was?
It must mean a lot to you.
My father gave it to me when I was six.
It's where the name IM comes from.
I see. Then it's not just some plain necklace.
Are you coming back from somewhere?
I...
For the first time in six years, I went to my father's old office.
(Chairman's Office)
Thank you.
(Chief Executive Officer Yong Moon Gu)
Dad, you're the best!
Right. Well, check this out.
It's the initials for Woo In.
Did you reveal yourself to Yong Moon Gu?
Did you tell him?
He already knew which is what we expected.
Of course.
He then threatened to go public...
with my alter ego.
What?
So I gave him a taste of his own medicine.
Pointing your gun at me...
will leave me with no choice.
I'll have to shoot back.
Everything you did so far to sit at that table.
You provoked Se Na into releasing No Tae Nam's rape video...
and waited until...
the scandal shook IM Defense to the core.
Then, you had stockbrokers...
drive the company's stock price into the ground.
Next, you had No Tae Nam enlisted...
so that he could evade a criminal charge.
That's how you became the CEO of this company.
Prosecutor Cha, that is a lot of speculating.
Is that so?
The evidence I collected says otherwise.
However, I don't intend to go public with this information.
Only one person needs to know.
No Hwa Young.
(No Hwa Young)
As if she'd believe you.
I don't really care. All I need to do is inform her.
She'll check the facts herself.
And when she finds out the truth,
you'll be gone forever.
So how about it? Should we play this game?
The purpose of your visit was to shut me up?
Of course.
I'd expect no less from Cha Ho Cheol's daughter.
You went there to threaten him?
Military prosecutors shouldn't threaten anyone.
All we can do is stay armed.
Let's just say it's a dangerous but strategic truce.
Talk about a coincidence.
Before coming here,
No Hwa Young came to see me at the legal office.
That means...
she's aware of who we both truly are.
I wanted nothing more...
than to shut her up for mentioning my parents.
But there's something I wanted to tell you first.
You told me...
to seek Staff Sergeant Shin's forgiveness.
I will do so in the cruelest way.
In a way, that's crueler than any type of revenge.
I will prove myself to my victims...
until I'm able to wash away the wrongdoings I committed...
in the past five years.
This is a commitment I didn't see coming.
I made the right choice by bringing you over...
to my side.
I just wish I could do well.
(Master Sergeant Yeom Sang Jin)
(Captain Cha, I found something out.)
("A Grenade Explosion on Base Takes the Lives of 3 Soldiers")
At a recruit training center 20 years ago,
soldiers died from a grenade that went off during training.
Your father concluded that it wasn't the trainee's fault.
The trainee isn't at fault.
When a grenade goes off,
about 1,000 pieces of shrapnel are thrown.
About 300 of them...
were in the drill instructor who passed away.
The angles are off...
for the trainee to be at fault.
On top of that, I have a witness.
- A witness? - Yes.
Someone saw it go off before the trainee threw the grenade.
The grenade being faulty is the only explanation.
The Defense Agency for Technology and Quality...
has already ruled against that.
I've already looked into that report.
No tests were conducted on that said day.
The report was fabricated!
So you disobeyed my order...
and conducted your own investigation?
I will take any punishment my actions entail.
However, if we don't prove that the grenades are faulty,
innocent soldiers will keep on dying.
Give me those documents.
We must investigate the defense contractors...
who are manufacturing these grenades!
Give me those documents, darn it!
How dare you!
How dare you disobey your superior's order!
You retard.
Destroying the documents...
won't erase the truth.
The truth?
You.
Know your place, darn it.
This is my last warning.
At the time, I wasn't aware of the faulty grenade incident.
I only found out after meeting...
the retired military police officer...
whose name was in Won Ki Choon's notes.
Your father must've known...
that dragging me into this would put me in danger too.
That's why he dealt with it on his own.
How was the case concluded?
As designed by Hong Moo Sup.
An error on the trainee's part.
("A Trainee's Error Leads to Grenade Accident")
The manufacturer of the faulty grenade...
was never investigated.
But that didn't stop your father.
Grenades kept going off, and soldiers died as a result.
That's why your father planned to go public...
with the faulty grenades.
And the one helping him...
was Chairman Cha Ho Cheol.
In other words,
your father.
That was why there was a picture of them with my dad.
And why Chairman Cha had called just before the accident.
That's right.
What about No Hwa Young?
That was why...
No Hwa Young and Hong Moo Sup met so often as logged by Won Ki Choon.
There's one more person tied to the defective grenades.
This person.
Colonel Lee Jae Sik.
Because at the time, he was in charge of the relationship...
with defense contractors.
In other words, Lee Jae Sik ordered Hong Moo Sup...
to bury the defective grenades matter.
And he probably instructed No Hwa Young to eliminate...
your parents.
(Hong Moo Sup)
(Lee Jae Sik)
As expected, the food chain in the military...
goes up to Lee Jae Sik.
Hey. Is Hwa Young running late?
Please have a seat first.
Sure.
- Here. - Okay.
I guess Hwa Young isn't coming.
I never said she was coming. Didn't you come regardless?
You've become more confident after becoming CEO.
You even thought of leaving out your superior.
Is it because you're not a soldier?
I hear the Ministry of Defense...
is selecting a company to produce a new weapon.
And that Lieutenant Colonel Won was going to be the middle man.
No one offers to buy drinks for free.
I won't send IM extra business...
for the time being for the sake of my political career.
But you and IM...
are inseparable.
You know that.
That was why I prepared a way secretly.
Division Commander No Hwa Young doesn't know about it.
It is my understanding that Hwa Young put you...
where you are now.
How can I trust you?
How much do you trust her?
I will support your political war...
financially and otherwise from now on.
I may not be a soldier, but I know to whom my allegiance should lie.
That is how I am here today.
I can see why Hwa Young kept you so close.
Looks like you'll be better at politics than I.
Sergeant Shin Joo Yong. I swear my allegiance!
You've done well serving the nation for a year and a half.
The military teaches about wars,
but in the society to which you'll return, it'll be real wars.
I hope you will not lose those wars...
to protect your precious families.
Dismissed.
Salute the division commander!
Salute!
Right face.
How's Tae Nam doing?
- I'll look into it right away. - No need.
No news is good news.
(No Hwa Young)
Wow.
Here. Take what you want.
- Wow! - Me too!
That's mine!
Sergeant Ma's here.
Sergeant Ma's here.
(Military Police)
Hey.
What's all this?
They're gifts.
It's just a gift.
(Military Police)
(Military Police)
I'll be too scared to wear it in case I scratch it up.
Don't worry. They don't get scratched up.
You can be rough with it.
Really? Thank you.
Wow. Nice.
Pika-pika.
Don't you know "Pika-pika"?
- No, I don't. - You punk.
Focus.
- What is that? - What is it?
(Military Police)
- It's Pikachu! - He is!
No Tae Nam, from now on, You're Nokachu.
- Nokachu. - Answer me.
Nokachu is your name now. Read it back to me!
Flap your arms and respond!
- Now! - Do it!
Do it!
You have to do it.
You refuse?
Fine. He doesn't want to do it.
- Pyun. - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
What are you doing? Your successor won't do it.
You should demonstrate it.
Private Pyunkachu.
Preparing 1,000,000 volts.
Pikachu!
Blast!
- Hey. - Do it better!
- Can't you do better? - You loser.
(Military Police)
Cut it out, will you?
You rat.
Your mom's the division commander, is that it?
Why are you...
Why are you bringing up my mother?
Right? Why am I?
I can see it.
Why did the division commander stick her son here?
To stay out of trouble and not cause her problems.
It means you need to do whatever I say.
- Pyun. - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Aren't you training the newbie?
Put on your armor.
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Putting on my armor.
I told you.
It's the predecessor's fault if the successor makes a mistake.
- Is... - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- Your brain... - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- For show? - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- Should I crack your skull open? - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Should I just smash it in?
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- Private Pyun Sang Ho. - Stop it!
- Stop it. - Let go.
I have something for you.
- What is it? - Come with me.
- It had better be good. - Come out.
Do something else.
(Military Police)
Darn it.
(Pyun Sang Ho)
I'm sorry.
Because of me...
You did well.
If you bow down once, you have to do it forever like me.
You did the right thing.
How's your head?
They don't hit you because they want to,
but because they can.
Those are the lyrics to some song.
"As long as it doesn't kill me,"
"the pain only makes me stronger."
Isn't that so cool?
Dumplings that you like so much.
Eat faster.
Finish it all, or you're dead.
- Good. - That's a good boy.
- Keep it down. - Hey.
Sleepy?
Will you sleep whenever everyone else is on duty?
I'm sleepy too.
Just wait. I'll be done soon and will be right back.
Doesn't it look yummier like this?
This way. You can eat it.
It's buy one, get one free.
- Gosh. - So close.
If your head touches the pillow,
you're not sleeping tonight.
You can't move until you win.
Okay?
And go.
Look at your face. Are you not having fun?
Have fun. It's a game.
I miss my mom.
I miss her cooking.
Hang in there.
Sergeant Ma leaves soon.
I'll let you off when I become the boss.
Can you do me a favor?
I'd like to make a call.
You could've asked sooner.
Here.
- Thank you, Sergeant. - Sure.
No Tae Nam. Make him your dog.
Moon Gu, it's me.
Chairman?
I can't talk for long. I...
Send me a parcel.
Full of all sorts of expensive stuff.
What?
Mother dried up all my finances.
I don't have any credit cards.
Oh. I'll take care of it right away.
Do you need anything else?
You're healthy and well, aren't you?
So... My mom... I mean...
Will my mother...
What about her?
Why won't you get the point?
Will she...
not pay me a visit?
If she were to visit,
your base would be on red alert for a week.
Not just there but your company and battalion too.
Forget it, then. Just send me a parcel.
This is so unfair.
Attention, all. Gather round.
Starting today, we will...
investigate Commanding General Hong Moo Sup's bullying.
- What? - The Commanding General?
He has three stars.
Soon, he will have four.
You two. My gosh.
How far exactly are you planning to go?
You are really scary people.
That smile...
Because of you two,
my army life is spectacularly full of thrills.
There's no way his case...
will be allocated to our office.
That's right. It'll go to his company's legal office.
We know what'll happen. Kim Han Yong's case showed us.
He went to his legal office...
about his brother's accident and got snubbed.
Exactly.
Captain Cha, why don't you take another case?
- Yoon Sang Ki. - Darn it...
Don't you know who I am?
I'm a Doberman. A hunting hound.
Did you ever see me take the easy road?
No. Never.
That's why my life is so miserable.
So, what on earth will you use...
to get the case?
Can you not whine like that? Follow me.
Nice!
- What a shot. - Well done.
Amazing.
The ball's doing my bidding today!
- Nice shot! - Well done!
The suspicion surrounding the Mine Hero...
must be revealed, Your Honor!
- That's it! - Yes!
Darn you!
- Give me the right club! - No, don't.
I knew Kim Han Yong would cause trouble.
- Give him a ball. - Let me try once more.
We will take out their whole legal office.
We'll make sure the judge advocates...
don't go lightly on Hong Moo Sup.
We'll take over his case...
and expose their corrupt legal team.
Staff Sergeant Shin.
I will get him on board.
Gosh. Even after what I made him do,
he still plays golf during work hours.
You let him off lightly once, and he got even worse.
Now he avoids army golf clubs...
and goes only to civilian ones.
Then shall we...
go after their corrupt judge advocates?
Are you ready, Section Chief Ahn?
- Then one, two... - Let's do it.
That was fun!
You got so much better.
I managed with one shot.
- Yes. - That was just perfect.
- That's a nice club. - Isn't it?
- My gosh... - Are you having fun down there?
I apologize.
Do you know how much my clubs cost?
I apologize.
Save your wages for 18 months, and you still can't afford them.
Darn you.
Why don't you stand at the forefront...
and see to it that our soldiers get better pay?
Who are you people?
They spend two years at their peak...
serving and protecting the people.
Wouldn't it be unfair to say they're cheaper than golf clubs?
- Shoot. - Who are you?
- Excuse me. - Didn't you hear? Who are you?
Why are you taking our photos?
You're not a caddy, are you?
You're currently serving in the army, aren't you?
- It's fine. - I knew it.
It's just as we thought, Reporter Yoon.
They're reporters?
Listen, Mr. Judge Advocates!
- Attention. - Attention.
Shoot.
Shouldn't you be in court right now?
My gosh. You make soldiers carry your golf clubs...
and pick up golf balls.
I saw earlier that you were about to...
- do this with a club. - No.
How could you do that on the taxpayers' money?
- The camera! - Turn that darn thing off!
Is it true you all played golf at a civilian club on duty?
Not only did you use soldiers as caddies,
but is it true you almost assaulted them?
The day you were caught playing golf,
you missed a court date claiming "personal reasons".
- I did not! Stop taking photos! - Explain yourself!
The 4th Division's judge advocates...
were caught playing golf at a civilian club while on duty.
They are suspected of neglecting their duties.
Not just that, they made soldiers work as their caddies...
and intercepted their pay.
My gosh. Good job.
We are expecting it to draw the media's attention.
This must be how it feels to put away the bad guys.
It feels even better than making a smooth turd.
- Nice. - Nice.
This must be why...
those two are always together doing this stuff.
What?
(Yoon Sang Ki)
What are you thinking? No, Sang Ki, don't.
What are you doing?
Are you that pleased?
A bit more of this and you'll become a prosecutor yourself.
Section Chief Ahn.
Didn't you feel anything?
I'm satisfied too, but not as much as you.
No. Not that.
That day. Our two prosecutors.
I'm a Doberman. A hunting hound.
Woof-woof. That hound thing.
The glance they exchanged.
It clearly means they're flirting.
Or who knows? Maybe even dating.
Now that you mention it,
I've never seen Captain Cha smile like that.
When do you think they got together?
No. Don't cry.
Come on. Section Chief Ahn.
Unrequited love...
is only complete when it never happens.
I too...
am fighting through the pain.
What?
(Military Prosecutor Cha Woo In)
You and Captain Cha?
Gosh, no, don't say another word.
My chest hurts.
How about another high-five?
I'm not in the mood for that.
- You're not? - Captain.
Okay, she's not.
This room feels so empty.
(Judge Advocates Accused of Habitual Neglect of Duty)
What do you think? I did that for you.
I took them all out.
If we take your case to them,
it'll only get covered up.
I plan to prosecute myself.
Get lost.
Staff Sergeant Shin.
Wait!
Give me a chance to correct my wrongs.
I was a military prosecutor who could be bought.
(Do Be Man)
I abused my power...
to fatten my bank account.
That I am guilty of.
Forgive me.
Please forgive me.
(Shin Min Cheol)
I will make sure that no one is ever bullied...
like you and your friend.
So tell me.
Will that bring back my friend?
What's with your newfound motto?
What are you playing at?
I'll show you.
I'll show you...
that I mean what I said.
(Mistress)
Why haven't you been picking up?
Did I not tell you to pick up in five seconds?
I apologize, ma'am. I'll be right back.
Staff Sergeant Shin.
If you don't want to talk to me, try this place at least.
(Protector of Rights within the Military)
I'll show you.
I'll show you that I mean what I said.
(The General)
(Protector of Rights within the Military)
("Your time is limited.")
("Don't waste it on other people." Steve Jobs)
(To my friend, Shin Min Cheol)
(To my friend, Shin Min Cheol)
Darn.
Shouldn't you be cooking?
Why is your sack packed?
Where are you going without permission?
- You! - Let go of me.
Have you gone crazy?
Leaving at this hour is the same as going AWOL.
I'll see to it that you end up in a military prison.
Your permission? You'll see to what?
Who do you think you are?
Civilian Hong Kyung Ok.
You have no authority.
Why you little...
Let go of me.
How dare you! Did you go crazy overnight?
Actually, no.
I can't leave behind key evidence.
What did you just say?
Treating soldiers like personal servants?
That ends with me.
But...
Protector of Rights within the Military...
has received information...
regarding the abuse of power of...
Commanding General Hong Moo Sup and his family.
According to sources,
Staff Sergeant Shin who served at his residence for six months,
was frequently abused by his family.
The ones with power are worse, aren't they?
Abuse of power, my foot.
Protector of Rights within the Military...
has requested an impartial investigation...
and has criticized the military...
for not releasing a statement on the grounds of fact-checking.
Regardless of this case though,
there will be a full investigation of soldiers...
that are stationed at officers' residences.
Brother, I swear I didn't do a thing.
Since this involves Commanding General Hong...
who has been admired for his leadership,
the military has raised its concerns...
about it turning into a witch-hunt...
and has announced a thorough investigation.
If the rumors prove to be true,
the next...
- Here he is. - Here he comes!
Will the council gather as planned...
to appoint the new Chief of Staff of the Army?
Who will investigate General Hong's bullying case?
Along with the golf incident of the judge advocates,
the people are also holding you accountable.
Do you agree, sir?
- Please say a few words. - Any words, sir?
(Military Police)
- Minister Lee! - Sir, just a second.
Minister Lee's blood pressure must be through the roof.
The Patriotic Society must be gathering...
at Hong Moo Sup's residence as we speak.
I doubt they'll come up with a way out of this.
We may have gotten rid of the judge advocates,
but Hong's case might still not be allocated to us.
What does your hunch say?
This time around,
I'm trying to make an educated guess.
No hunch, you say?
Have you lost your touch?
How about a walk?
It might clear my head.
Goodness.
Minister Lee, I apologize for causing you a grievance.
How dare you stab me in the back!
This from a true soldier like yourself?
My guess is that they couldn't find any dirt on me...
before the appointment of the Chief of Staff of the Army.
Why else would they find fault...
with the few errands I made the soldier run?
Absolutely.
Minister Lee, why don't you calmly speak over tea?
Darn it.
Minister Lee, my nephew serves on the front lines.
I was only looking out for Staff Sergeant Shin,
but he must've taken it the wrong way.
I assure you that there was no misconduct.
Minister Lee,
if I may say so,
the military has become a joke.
Some parents call the base...
to request easier training for their children.
Physical assault and bullying are spoken too often as well.
It's like they think the military is a school.
We live in a silly world now.
Shut it, you brat!
Hwa Young, speak.
Who takes the case seems most important.
People have no trust in the corps legal office...
following the judge advocate scandal.
Any investigation spearheaded by this office...
will only plant more doubts.
However, the ministry's prosecutor's office...
or army headquarters...
If investigated by the ministry's prosecutor's office...
or army headquarters,
the case will be influenced by...
the current Chief of Staff of the Army...
who is hostile toward Minister Lee.
He's being forced to leave the office before finishing his term.
He'll dig up all the skeletons in Hong Moo Sup's closet.
That leaves Minister Lee with only one option.
What do you say to...
a special investigation task force...
led by my division's military prosecutors?
From your division?
As in Do Be Man and Cha Woo In?
It's true that they're received well by the public.
Are you sure you can get those prosecutors...
to do as said?
Is there any need for that?
According to Commanding General Hong,
he only sent the soldier on a few errands.
I'll ask you one last time.
Are you sure there aren't any issues?
There aren't, sir.
Then we'll do as Commander No suggests.
We should still be prepared for the trial though.
My people will be on the defense as well as the offense.
If military prosecutors are your sword,
what about your shield?
Yong Moon Gu is the perfect fit.
Yong Moon Gu?
Yes. That is an excellent idea.
He said he wouldn't argue in court,
but he'd do it if I said so.
Yes. Okay. Good.
There's nothing I can't do.
Thanks.
That's good and all, but don't make it too obvious.
It's almost time.
(Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok)
Yes.
You haven't lost your touch.
I should go back in.
I was enjoying my walk.
You should pick up.
(Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok)
Be Man. Return to work stat. Right now!
It's code red. This is an emergency!
Find Captain Cha and get over here now!
Return to work now!
Yes, sir.
- Let's go. - Okay.
In order to address the people's suspicions,
the Ministry of Defense will form a special investigation team...
to investigate the suspicions...
surrounding Commanding General Hong Moo Sup.
The special investigation team...
will be composed of military prosecutors...
Captain Do Be Man, Captain Cha Woo In,
and Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok.
- They will lead the investigation. - The minister...
- That is all. - said my name.
What an amazing day.
This is such a great honor.
Salute.
A great danger. This is a great danger.
A great danger to national stability!
(Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok)
The minister of defense named you in front of the nation.
Will you refuse?
Well... So...
From the division commander's son,
the Reconnaissance Unit commander, and now the Commanding General.
Are you telling me all of this is a coincidence?
Why is the Korean military...
throwing such adversities at me?
What am I supposed to do about my future in the military?
Darn it.
Why isn't Be Man here?
In order to protect the rights of soldiers,
he wants to bring someone important into our special investigation team.
What? Wait.
He's bringing someone in without my approval?
Says who?
- Salute. - Yes, salute.
What took you so long?
I'm Detective Do Soo Kyung.
Neither of us recognized the other at the press conference before,
so let's call it even.
Yes.
You're Be Man's aunt.
I mean. What brings you here, Detective Do?
Since the public is very interested in this,
I think we should investigate this jointly with the police.
Without the police, it'll be difficult to punish...
the commanding general's sister since she's a civilian.
It's the perfect scenario for her to weasel out of it.
Yes, that's right.
The military court can't punish a civilian.
Be Man says you're a true man.
Let's do this right.
Yes, that's right. A true man.
How dare she use her position to bully people in this day and age?
Don't you agree?
That's wrong. Of course.
My hand... Yes, that's right.
You don't have anywhere to stay,
so stay here until the trial is over.
Don't worry. I won't be here.
You can use it by yourself.
Then where...
What?
Are you worrying about me?
I didn't decide to do this because of you.
I'm just making sure you don't get the wrong idea.
Sure. Whatever the case may be,
thanks for agreeing to do it.
Come in.
Hey.
Why are you here at this hour?
I told Staff Sergeant Shin to sleep in my quarters.
Reporters were hounding him,
so I thought he needed to rest peacefully.
He had suffered a lot from all the bullying.
Do you plan to stay here then?
I'll have to.
I need to work, so my aunt's place is too far.
And Bolt's here too.
Go ahead.
What? Were you working here too?
- What about dinner? - I haven't eaten yet.
Well... I haven't eaten yet either.
Is he asleep?
Hey. This...
What's wrong?
You're pouring it like water. This is super expensive.
I drink it once in a while when I work late here.
Never with instant noodles, but...
When you're in the military, you must get used to everything.
Wow. You can't hide the fact that you're rich.
Let's drink.
Wow. I drank a lot of wine with Yong Moon Gu.
Is that all?
If you took all the cash you got in wine cases,
you could buy at least a vineyard.
Must you say that?
Is it because this wine is free with no strings attached?
It's comfortable to drink.
Aren't you eating?
What?
Yes. I don't usually eat late at night.
I have to stay fit.
Then why did you make two?
Will you really not eat it?
No.
You won't gain weight if you work off what you eat.
What a good eater.
I know I bring you the prey,
but you have a lot to learn from me about being a prosecutor.
Especially in court.
Does it feel awkward?
Why are you suddenly bringing up work?
No. I'm saying...
you won't win if you throw only fastballs like you.
You need to throw changeups depending on the person.
That's how you win.
Catch them off guard, right?
I'll throw a changeup at the upcoming trial...
for Hong Moo Sup.
Right. Good.
(Kang Ha Joon)
Hey. Put that on speaker.
(Speaker)
Hi, Woo In. Sorry.
I've been dealing with problems with the company and couldn't call.
I was going to call you when I saw the article.
Are you okay?
What happened was...
What article? Is something wrong, Mr. Kang?
Are you with Mr. Do?
Yes, it just happened.
Have you been able to restore Won Ki Choon's hard drive yet?
Well... It'll take a while longer.
Take care of things at the company first.
Captain Do and I will handle the trial somehow.
Hear that? We're busy, so bye.
Sir. I need to report something.
We almost have the entity...
spreading the lies.
Will he be okay?
I'll start the brief on Commanding General Hong's abuse...
of his housekeeping soldier.
(Detective)
This case is about how Commanding General Hong Moo Sup...
and his younger sister abused their housekeeping soldier...
and made him run personal errands.
Please go to page two.
Take a sheet each and fill them in properly.
(The commanding general did not abuse or bully me.)
(Ahn Yoo Ra)
They're all likely victims,
but go over the list again.
(Hong Moo Sup, Won Ki Choon, Heo Kang In)
What's wrong with that?
Do your job and be worth your pay!
Mr. Yong, we want different lawyers.
Can I see your camera footage?
Thank you.
We put the most weight on the victim's statement,
and to uncover the facts,
we are carrying out a thorough investigation.
We're looking into if there were other victims,
and are also working hard...
on obtaining proof to support our case.
(Won Ki Choon's external hard drive)
I took the bullet when driving Cha Ho Cheol out of IM Defense...
and lied in court.
I did it for you, Commander.
That's not all.
The car accident you caused 20 years ago.
The one where you ran over the married military investigators.
Don't you play dumb with me...
for I remember everything clearly.
This is enough to put her in court.
(Cha Woo In)
Mr. Kang! I have bad news.
- Mr. Kang? - What's this about?
What are you doing?
We'll search the premises for suspicion of espionage.
Please cooperate.
Get to it.
Take everything.
Give me that.
Do you want an extra charge?
Mr. Kang. I'm not sure if I should tell you this right now.
The people who spread the lies.
I can't be sure, but I suspect this one place.
I see who did it.
Let's talk another time.
Sure.
It wasn't just me.
I was assisted by those who work closely with me.
Just like...
you and Cha Woo In.
I bought up all your shares that had hit rock bottom.
Do you know what that means?
You were with Woo In when her father went down.
- Leave. - No.
Pretty soon, you will be the one who leaves this place.
Which is why...
I'll say what I said to Be Man five years ago...
when I first met him.
Have you ever heard of an offer one can't refuse?
(A few days later)
(2nd trial of commanding general's abuse charges)
(Prosecutor)
Captain Do.
What?
I found a witness.
A witness that will win us this trial.
What?
Who is it?
Why didn't you tell me?
I couldn't tell you in case you disapproved.
Why would I disapprove?
The truth is, yesterday...
(Prosecutor)
(Prosecutor)
All rise.
(Defendant, Defense Attorney)
Your Honor.
I'd like to call my witness.
A witness?
I believe you did not register any witnesses for today's trial.
The witness needed some time...
to decide whether to appear.
What does the defense say?
We cannot allow it, of course.
Let me make something clear.
From now on, we will only allow witnesses we agreed on beforehand.
Defense is adamant, and I have no choice.
If you prevent this witness from speaking,
you will face a huge backlash.
That is a very dangerous statement.
Who is that witness?
If you bring a housekeeping soldier...
who served long ago to say...
(In session)
(In session)
(Defendant, Defense Attorney)
What on earth...
Cha Woo In.
I'll become a monster, step on and climb over the men,
and get to the top.
Your Honor.
I'm Major General No Hwa Young, 4th Infantry Division Commander.
Staff Sergeant Shin Min Cheol is one of my prized officers.
Please allow me to speak for him.
(Military Prosecutor Doberman)
The judge said it point-blank.
We'll do it like last time, right?
He told me to slack off like last time.
I ask for the removal of this judge.
Are you a soldier or a prosecutor?
Why would I answer you of all people?
There's something I was too scared to say.
We must make him pay.
Sergeant Ahn is the son of Gusan Bank's president.
There's a witness who will win this case for us.
Are you interested?
- Are you done with the questions? - I'm not finished!
This will be an easy trial.
From this moment on,
you are to entrust me with this trial.
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(This was filmed in accordance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines.)
(Staff ensured the animals' safety in the filming of this drama.)
(20 years ago)
You dare go against my order?
I didn't disobey.
I carried out what you asked perfectly.
I told you to find a way to get the investigators to come around.
When did I tell you to kill them?
Destroying everything that could pose a threat...
is the solution I came up with.
That way, there will be no future issues.
Are you out of your mind?
You must side with me now, Colonel.
To the end, as long as I'm in uniform.
Lee Jae Sik.
One day, over this, I will have to get rid of you.
But I will never let you take me out.
I'll become a monster, step on and climb over the men,
and get to the top.
(Present day)
(Do Be Man)
(No Hwa Young)
The one who didn't have the heart of a soldier...
turned out to be the son of the two who did.
Do Be Man.
It's you, isn't it?
You're the boy that I saved.
No Hwa Young.
- You... - You killed my parents.
It was an accident.
It was tragic and very heartbreaking,
but it was still just a coincidental car accident.
I had no reason to kill your parents.
No. There's a proof.
There's a proof?
The proof is...
you, No Hwa Young.
With this hand, you checked if my parents were breathing.
I remember it clearly.
I waited for this moment.
I can shoot you on the spot for mutiny.
Yes. That's right, Division Commander.
You knew about it?
Why did you not show it?
A long time has passed.
After the accident, I had amnesia for a while.
I thank you sincerely for saving me then, ma'am.
You're fearless and rash.
A lot like your father.
The fact that I am his daughter will never go away.
Yong Moon Gu.
You entered this office with three different faces.
As the prosecutor who framed my father and took him down.
As No Tae Nam's groveling lawyer.
And now you're here as No Hwa Young's puppet CEO.
You've always been wearing a mask.
A mask?
Since we're talking about that,
shall we talk about the mask that you're wearing?
You won't be able to do it yourself.
I will rip off the mask for you.
This will be on tomorrow's morning news,
but it's best you know first.
Since you came all the way here.
"A military prosecutor currently in the army..."
"has been taking justice into her own hands."
"A military prospector, a guardian of the law,"
"indulged in kidnapping, confinement, and assault."
"Not only will it impact the public,"
"but the prosecutor in question will be brought to justice."
(Episode 11)
- Mr. Choi? - Oh, right.
Mr. Yong.
I came straight from the airport.
The trip took longer than expected,
and I had to miss the inauguration. My apologies.
There wasn't a ceremony.
Anyway, you've done good work.
There was disorder in the company,
but now it has found stability again thanks to you.
The company has seen three CEOs in its time,
so no one adds more stability than you...
who've served all of them.
Don't you agree?
Those are generous words, sir.
Will you finally be moving forward...
with your plans for the company?
Will I move forward?
It's already been in motion for six years...
since the day I entered this office alongside General No.
The claw that remains hidden...
always gives you the upper hand.
Have you sobered up?
Hey.
I was a bit drunk that night, wasn't I?
Oh, right.
You dropped this at my residence.
I looked everywhere for this. Is that where it was?
It must mean a lot to you.
My father gave it to me when I was six.
It's where the name IM comes from.
I see. Then it's not just some plain necklace.
Are you coming back from somewhere?
I...
For the first time in six years, I went to my father's old office.
(Chairman's Office)
Thank you.
(Chief Executive Officer Yong Moon Gu)
Dad, you're the best!
Right. Well, check this out.
It's the initials for Woo In.
Did you reveal yourself to Yong Moon Gu?
Did you tell him?
He already knew which is what we expected.
Of course.
He then threatened to go public...
with my alter ego.
What?
So I gave him a taste of his own medicine.
Pointing your gun at me...
will leave me with no choice.
I'll have to shoot back.
Everything you did so far to sit at that table.
You provoked Se Na into releasing No Tae Nam's rape video...
and waited until...
the scandal shook IM Defense to the core.
Then, you had stockbrokers...
drive the company's stock price into the ground.
Next, you had No Tae Nam enlisted...
so that he could evade a criminal charge.
That's how you became the CEO of this company.
Prosecutor Cha, that is a lot of speculating.
Is that so?
The evidence I collected says otherwise.
However, I don't intend to go public with this information.
Only one person needs to know.
No Hwa Young.
(No Hwa Young)
As if she'd believe you.
I don't really care. All I need to do is inform her.
She'll check the facts herself.
And when she finds out the truth,
you'll be gone forever.
So how about it? Should we play this game?
The purpose of your visit was to shut me up?
Of course.
I'd expect no less from Cha Ho Cheol's daughter.
You went there to threaten him?
Military prosecutors shouldn't threaten anyone.
All we can do is stay armed.
Let's just say it's a dangerous but strategic truce.
Talk about a coincidence.
Before coming here,
No Hwa Young came to see me at the legal office.
That means...
she's aware of who we both truly are.
I wanted nothing more...
than to shut her up for mentioning my parents.
But there's something I wanted to tell you first.
You told me...
to seek Staff Sergeant Shin's forgiveness.
I will do so in the cruelest way.
In a way, that's crueler than any type of revenge.
I will prove myself to my victims...
until I'm able to wash away the wrongdoings I committed...
in the past five years.
This is a commitment I didn't see coming.
I made the right choice by bringing you over...
to my side.
I just wish I could do well.
(Master Sergeant Yeom Sang Jin)
(Captain Cha, I found something out.)
("A Grenade Explosion on Base Takes the Lives of 3 Soldiers")
At a recruit training center 20 years ago,
soldiers died from a grenade that went off during training.
Your father concluded that it wasn't the trainee's fault.
The trainee isn't at fault.
When a grenade goes off,
about 1,000 pieces of shrapnel are thrown.
About 300 of them...
were in the drill instructor who passed away.
The angles are off...
for the trainee to be at fault.
On top of that, I have a witness.
- A witness? - Yes.
Someone saw it go off before the trainee threw the grenade.
The grenade being faulty is the only explanation.
The Defense Agency for Technology and Quality...
has already ruled against that.
I've already looked into that report.
No tests were conducted on that said day.
The report was fabricated!
So you disobeyed my order...
and conducted your own investigation?
I will take any punishment my actions entail.
However, if we don't prove that the grenades are faulty,
innocent soldiers will keep on dying.
Give me those documents.
We must investigate the defense contractors...
who are manufacturing these grenades!
Give me those documents, darn it!
How dare you!
How dare you disobey your superior's order!
You retard.
Destroying the documents...
won't erase the truth.
The truth?
You.
Know your place, darn it.
This is my last warning.
At the time, I wasn't aware of the faulty grenade incident.
I only found out after meeting...
the retired military police officer...
whose name was in Won Ki Choon's notes.
Your father must've known...
that dragging me into this would put me in danger too.
That's why he dealt with it on his own.
How was the case concluded?
As designed by Hong Moo Sup.
An error on the trainee's part.
("A Trainee's Error Leads to Grenade Accident")
The manufacturer of the faulty grenade...
was never investigated.
But that didn't stop your father.
Grenades kept going off, and soldiers died as a result.
That's why your father planned to go public...
with the faulty grenades.
And the one helping him...
was Chairman Cha Ho Cheol.
In other words,
your father.
That was why there was a picture of them with my dad.
And why Chairman Cha had called just before the accident.
That's right.
What about No Hwa Young?
That was why...
No Hwa Young and Hong Moo Sup met so often as logged by Won Ki Choon.
There's one more person tied to the defective grenades.
This person.
Colonel Lee Jae Sik.
Because at the time, he was in charge of the relationship...
with defense contractors.
In other words, Lee Jae Sik ordered Hong Moo Sup...
to bury the defective grenades matter.
And he probably instructed No Hwa Young to eliminate...
your parents.
(Hong Moo Sup)
(Lee Jae Sik)
As expected, the food chain in the military...
goes up to Lee Jae Sik.
Hey. Is Hwa Young running late?
Please have a seat first.
Sure.
- Here. - Okay.
I guess Hwa Young isn't coming.
I never said she was coming. Didn't you come regardless?
You've become more confident after becoming CEO.
You even thought of leaving out your superior.
Is it because you're not a soldier?
I hear the Ministry of Defense...
is selecting a company to produce a new weapon.
And that Lieutenant Colonel Won was going to be the middle man.
No one offers to buy drinks for free.
I won't send IM extra business...
for the time being for the sake of my political career.
But you and IM...
are inseparable.
You know that.
That was why I prepared a way secretly.
Division Commander No Hwa Young doesn't know about it.
It is my understanding that Hwa Young put you...
where you are now.
How can I trust you?
How much do you trust her?
I will support your political war...
financially and otherwise from now on.
I may not be a soldier, but I know to whom my allegiance should lie.
That is how I am here today.
I can see why Hwa Young kept you so close.
Looks like you'll be better at politics than I.
Sergeant Shin Joo Yong. I swear my allegiance!
You've done well serving the nation for a year and a half.
The military teaches about wars,
but in the society to which you'll return, it'll be real wars.
I hope you will not lose those wars...
to protect your precious families.
Dismissed.
Salute the division commander!
Salute!
Right face.
How's Tae Nam doing?
- I'll look into it right away. - No need.
No news is good news.
(No Hwa Young)
Wow.
Here. Take what you want.
- Wow! - Me too!
That's mine!
Sergeant Ma's here.
Sergeant Ma's here.
(Military Police)
Hey.
What's all this?
They're gifts.
It's just a gift.
(Military Police)
(Military Police)
I'll be too scared to wear it in case I scratch it up.
Don't worry. They don't get scratched up.
You can be rough with it.
Really? Thank you.
Wow. Nice.
Pika-pika.
Don't you know "Pika-pika"?
- No, I don't. - You punk.
Focus.
- What is that? - What is it?
(Military Police)
- It's Pikachu! - He is!
No Tae Nam, from now on, You're Nokachu.
- Nokachu. - Answer me.
Nokachu is your name now. Read it back to me!
Flap your arms and respond!
- Now! - Do it!
Do it!
You have to do it.
You refuse?
Fine. He doesn't want to do it.
- Pyun. - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
What are you doing? Your successor won't do it.
You should demonstrate it.
Private Pyunkachu.
Preparing 1,000,000 volts.
Pikachu!
Blast!
- Hey. - Do it better!
- Can't you do better? - You loser.
(Military Police)
Cut it out, will you?
You rat.
Your mom's the division commander, is that it?
Why are you...
Why are you bringing up my mother?
Right? Why am I?
I can see it.
Why did the division commander stick her son here?
To stay out of trouble and not cause her problems.
It means you need to do whatever I say.
- Pyun. - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Aren't you training the newbie?
Put on your armor.
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Putting on my armor.
I told you.
It's the predecessor's fault if the successor makes a mistake.
- Is... - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- Your brain... - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- For show? - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- Should I crack your skull open? - Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Should I just smash it in?
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
Private Pyun Sang Ho.
- Private Pyun Sang Ho. - Stop it!
- Stop it. - Let go.
I have something for you.
- What is it? - Come with me.
- It had better be good. - Come out.
Do something else.
(Military Police)
Darn it.
(Pyun Sang Ho)
I'm sorry.
Because of me...
You did well.
If you bow down once, you have to do it forever like me.
You did the right thing.
How's your head?
They don't hit you because they want to,
but because they can.
Those are the lyrics to some song.
"As long as it doesn't kill me,"
"the pain only makes me stronger."
Isn't that so cool?
Dumplings that you like so much.
Eat faster.
Finish it all, or you're dead.
- Good. - That's a good boy.
- Keep it down. - Hey.
Sleepy?
Will you sleep whenever everyone else is on duty?
I'm sleepy too.
Just wait. I'll be done soon and will be right back.
Doesn't it look yummier like this?
This way. You can eat it.
It's buy one, get one free.
- Gosh. - So close.
If your head touches the pillow,
you're not sleeping tonight.
You can't move until you win.
Okay?
And go.
Look at your face. Are you not having fun?
Have fun. It's a game.
I miss my mom.
I miss her cooking.
Hang in there.
Sergeant Ma leaves soon.
I'll let you off when I become the boss.
Can you do me a favor?
I'd like to make a call.
You could've asked sooner.
Here.
- Thank you, Sergeant. - Sure.
No Tae Nam. Make him your dog.
Moon Gu, it's me.
Chairman?
I can't talk for long. I...
Send me a parcel.
Full of all sorts of expensive stuff.
What?
Mother dried up all my finances.
I don't have any credit cards.
Oh. I'll take care of it right away.
Do you need anything else?
You're healthy and well, aren't you?
So... My mom... I mean...
Will my mother...
What about her?
Why won't you get the point?
Will she...
not pay me a visit?
If she were to visit,
your base would be on red alert for a week.
Not just there but your company and battalion too.
Forget it, then. Just send me a parcel.
This is so unfair.
Attention, all. Gather round.
Starting today, we will...
investigate Commanding General Hong Moo Sup's bullying.
- What? - The Commanding General?
He has three stars.
Soon, he will have four.
You two. My gosh.
How far exactly are you planning to go?
You are really scary people.
That smile...
Because of you two,
my army life is spectacularly full of thrills.
There's no way his case...
will be allocated to our office.
That's right. It'll go to his company's legal office.
We know what'll happen. Kim Han Yong's case showed us.
He went to his legal office...
about his brother's accident and got snubbed.
Exactly.
Captain Cha, why don't you take another case?
- Yoon Sang Ki. - Darn it...
Don't you know who I am?
I'm a Doberman. A hunting hound.
Did you ever see me take the easy road?
No. Never.
That's why my life is so miserable.
So, what on earth will you use...
to get the case?
Can you not whine like that? Follow me.
Nice!
- What a shot. - Well done.
Amazing.
The ball's doing my bidding today!
- Nice shot! - Well done!
The suspicion surrounding the Mine Hero...
must be revealed, Your Honor!
- That's it! - Yes!
Darn you!
- Give me the right club! - No, don't.
I knew Kim Han Yong would cause trouble.
- Give him a ball. - Let me try once more.
We will take out their whole legal office.
We'll make sure the judge advocates...
don't go lightly on Hong Moo Sup.
We'll take over his case...
and expose their corrupt legal team.
Staff Sergeant Shin.
I will get him on board.
Gosh. Even after what I made him do,
he still plays golf during work hours.
You let him off lightly once, and he got even worse.
Now he avoids army golf clubs...
and goes only to civilian ones.
Then shall we...
go after their corrupt judge advocates?
Are you ready, Section Chief Ahn?
- Then one, two... - Let's do it.
That was fun!
You got so much better.
I managed with one shot.
- Yes. - That was just perfect.
- That's a nice club. - Isn't it?
- My gosh... - Are you having fun down there?
I apologize.
Do you know how much my clubs cost?
I apologize.
Save your wages for 18 months, and you still can't afford them.
Darn you.
Why don't you stand at the forefront...
and see to it that our soldiers get better pay?
Who are you people?
They spend two years at their peak...
serving and protecting the people.
Wouldn't it be unfair to say they're cheaper than golf clubs?
- Shoot. - Who are you?
- Excuse me. - Didn't you hear? Who are you?
Why are you taking our photos?
You're not a caddy, are you?
You're currently serving in the army, aren't you?
- It's fine. - I knew it.
It's just as we thought, Reporter Yoon.
They're reporters?
Listen, Mr. Judge Advocates!
- Attention. - Attention.
Shoot.
Shouldn't you be in court right now?
My gosh. You make soldiers carry your golf clubs...
and pick up golf balls.
I saw earlier that you were about to...
- do this with a club. - No.
How could you do that on the taxpayers' money?
- The camera! - Turn that darn thing off!
Is it true you all played golf at a civilian club on duty?
Not only did you use soldiers as caddies,
but is it true you almost assaulted them?
The day you were caught playing golf,
you missed a court date claiming "personal reasons".
- I did not! Stop taking photos! - Explain yourself!
The 4th Division's judge advocates...
were caught playing golf at a civilian club while on duty.
They are suspected of neglecting their duties.
Not just that, they made soldiers work as their caddies...
and intercepted their pay.
My gosh. Good job.
We are expecting it to draw the media's attention.
This must be how it feels to put away the bad guys.
It feels even better than making a smooth turd.
- Nice. - Nice.
This must be why...
those two are always together doing this stuff.
What?
(Yoon Sang Ki)
What are you thinking? No, Sang Ki, don't.
What are you doing?
Are you that pleased?
A bit more of this and you'll become a prosecutor yourself.
Section Chief Ahn.
Didn't you feel anything?
I'm satisfied too, but not as much as you.
No. Not that.
That day. Our two prosecutors.
I'm a Doberman. A hunting hound.
Woof-woof. That hound thing.
The glance they exchanged.
It clearly means they're flirting.
Or who knows? Maybe even dating.
Now that you mention it,
I've never seen Captain Cha smile like that.
When do you think they got together?
No. Don't cry.
Come on. Section Chief Ahn.
Unrequited love...
is only complete when it never happens.
I too...
am fighting through the pain.
What?
(Military Prosecutor Cha Woo In)
You and Captain Cha?
Gosh, no, don't say another word.
My chest hurts.
How about another high-five?
I'm not in the mood for that.
- You're not? - Captain.
Okay, she's not.
This room feels so empty.
(Judge Advocates Accused of Habitual Neglect of Duty)
What do you think? I did that for you.
I took them all out.
If we take your case to them,
it'll only get covered up.
I plan to prosecute myself.
Get lost.
Staff Sergeant Shin.
Wait!
Give me a chance to correct my wrongs.
I was a military prosecutor who could be bought.
(Do Be Man)
I abused my power...
to fatten my bank account.
That I am guilty of.
Forgive me.
Please forgive me.
(Shin Min Cheol)
I will make sure that no one is ever bullied...
like you and your friend.
So tell me.
Will that bring back my friend?
What's with your newfound motto?
What are you playing at?
I'll show you.
I'll show you...
that I mean what I said.
(Mistress)
Why haven't you been picking up?
Did I not tell you to pick up in five seconds?
I apologize, ma'am. I'll be right back.
Staff Sergeant Shin.
If you don't want to talk to me, try this place at least.
(Protector of Rights within the Military)
I'll show you.
I'll show you that I mean what I said.
(The General)
(Protector of Rights within the Military)
("Your time is limited.")
("Don't waste it on other people." Steve Jobs)
(To my friend, Shin Min Cheol)
(To my friend, Shin Min Cheol)
Darn.
Shouldn't you be cooking?
Why is your sack packed?
Where are you going without permission?
- You! - Let go of me.
Have you gone crazy?
Leaving at this hour is the same as going AWOL.
I'll see to it that you end up in a military prison.
Your permission? You'll see to what?
Who do you think you are?
Civilian Hong Kyung Ok.
You have no authority.
Why you little...
Let go of me.
How dare you! Did you go crazy overnight?
Actually, no.
I can't leave behind key evidence.
What did you just say?
Treating soldiers like personal servants?
That ends with me.
But...
Protector of Rights within the Military...
has received information...
regarding the abuse of power of...
Commanding General Hong Moo Sup and his family.
According to sources,
Staff Sergeant Shin who served at his residence for six months,
was frequently abused by his family.
The ones with power are worse, aren't they?
Abuse of power, my foot.
Protector of Rights within the Military...
has requested an impartial investigation...
and has criticized the military...
for not releasing a statement on the grounds of fact-checking.
Regardless of this case though,
there will be a full investigation of soldiers...
that are stationed at officers' residences.
Brother, I swear I didn't do a thing.
Since this involves Commanding General Hong...
who has been admired for his leadership,
the military has raised its concerns...
about it turning into a witch-hunt...
and has announced a thorough investigation.
If the rumors prove to be true,
the next...
- Here he is. - Here he comes!
Will the council gather as planned...
to appoint the new Chief of Staff of the Army?
Who will investigate General Hong's bullying case?
Along with the golf incident of the judge advocates,
the people are also holding you accountable.
Do you agree, sir?
- Please say a few words. - Any words, sir?
(Military Police)
- Minister Lee! - Sir, just a second.
Minister Lee's blood pressure must be through the roof.
The Patriotic Society must be gathering...
at Hong Moo Sup's residence as we speak.
I doubt they'll come up with a way out of this.
We may have gotten rid of the judge advocates,
but Hong's case might still not be allocated to us.
What does your hunch say?
This time around,
I'm trying to make an educated guess.
No hunch, you say?
Have you lost your touch?
How about a walk?
It might clear my head.
Goodness.
Minister Lee, I apologize for causing you a grievance.
How dare you stab me in the back!
This from a true soldier like yourself?
My guess is that they couldn't find any dirt on me...
before the appointment of the Chief of Staff of the Army.
Why else would they find fault...
with the few errands I made the soldier run?
Absolutely.
Minister Lee, why don't you calmly speak over tea?
Darn it.
Minister Lee, my nephew serves on the front lines.
I was only looking out for Staff Sergeant Shin,
but he must've taken it the wrong way.
I assure you that there was no misconduct.
Minister Lee,
if I may say so,
the military has become a joke.
Some parents call the base...
to request easier training for their children.
Physical assault and bullying are spoken too often as well.
It's like they think the military is a school.
We live in a silly world now.
Shut it, you brat!
Hwa Young, speak.
Who takes the case seems most important.
People have no trust in the corps legal office...
following the judge advocate scandal.
Any investigation spearheaded by this office...
will only plant more doubts.
However, the ministry's prosecutor's office...
or army headquarters...
If investigated by the ministry's prosecutor's office...
or army headquarters,
the case will be influenced by...
the current Chief of Staff of the Army...
who is hostile toward Minister Lee.
He's being forced to leave the office before finishing his term.
He'll dig up all the skeletons in Hong Moo Sup's closet.
That leaves Minister Lee with only one option.
What do you say to...
a special investigation task force...
led by my division's military prosecutors?
From your division?
As in Do Be Man and Cha Woo In?
It's true that they're received well by the public.
Are you sure you can get those prosecutors...
to do as said?
Is there any need for that?
According to Commanding General Hong,
he only sent the soldier on a few errands.
I'll ask you one last time.
Are you sure there aren't any issues?
There aren't, sir.
Then we'll do as Commander No suggests.
We should still be prepared for the trial though.
My people will be on the defense as well as the offense.
If military prosecutors are your sword,
what about your shield?
Yong Moon Gu is the perfect fit.
Yong Moon Gu?
Yes. That is an excellent idea.
He said he wouldn't argue in court,
but he'd do it if I said so.
Yes. Okay. Good.
There's nothing I can't do.
Thanks.
That's good and all, but don't make it too obvious.
It's almost time.
(Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok)
Yes.
You haven't lost your touch.
I should go back in.
I was enjoying my walk.
You should pick up.
(Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok)
Be Man. Return to work stat. Right now!
It's code red. This is an emergency!
Find Captain Cha and get over here now!
Return to work now!
Yes, sir.
- Let's go. - Okay.
In order to address the people's suspicions,
the Ministry of Defense will form a special investigation team...
to investigate the suspicions...
surrounding Commanding General Hong Moo Sup.
The special investigation team...
will be composed of military prosecutors...
Captain Do Be Man, Captain Cha Woo In,
and Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok.
- They will lead the investigation. - The minister...
- That is all. - said my name.
What an amazing day.
This is such a great honor.
Salute.
A great danger. This is a great danger.
A great danger to national stability!
(Staff Judge Advocate Seo Joo Hyeok)
The minister of defense named you in front of the nation.
Will you refuse?
Well... So...
From the division commander's son,
the Reconnaissance Unit commander, and now the Commanding General.
Are you telling me all of this is a coincidence?
Why is the Korean military...
throwing such adversities at me?
What am I supposed to do about my future in the military?
Darn it.
Why isn't Be Man here?
In order to protect the rights of soldiers,
he wants to bring someone important into our special investigation team.
What? Wait.
He's bringing someone in without my approval?
Says who?
- Salute. - Yes, salute.
What took you so long?
I'm Detective Do Soo Kyung.
Neither of us recognized the other at the press conference before,
so let's call it even.
Yes.
You're Be Man's aunt.
I mean. What brings you here, Detective Do?
Since the public is very interested in this,
I think we should investigate this jointly with the police.
Without the police, it'll be difficult to punish...
the commanding general's sister since she's a civilian.
It's the perfect scenario for her to weasel out of it.
Yes, that's right.
The military court can't punish a civilian.
Be Man says you're a true man.
Let's do this right.
Yes, that's right. A true man.
How dare she use her position to bully people in this day and age?
Don't you agree?
That's wrong. Of course.
My hand... Yes, that's right.
You don't have anywhere to stay,
so stay here until the trial is over.
Don't worry. I won't be here.
You can use it by yourself.
Then where...
What?
Are you worrying about me?
I didn't decide to do this because of you.
I'm just making sure you don't get the wrong idea.
Sure. Whatever the case may be,
thanks for agreeing to do it.
Come in.
Hey.
Why are you here at this hour?
I told Staff Sergeant Shin to sleep in my quarters.
Reporters were hounding him,
so I thought he needed to rest peacefully.
He had suffered a lot from all the bullying.
Do you plan to stay here then?
I'll have to.
I need to work, so my aunt's place is too far.
And Bolt's here too.
Go ahead.
What? Were you working here too?
- What about dinner? - I haven't eaten yet.
Well... I haven't eaten yet either.
Is he asleep?
Hey. This...
What's wrong?
You're pouring it like water. This is super expensive.
I drink it once in a while when I work late here.
Never with instant noodles, but...
When you're in the military, you must get used to everything.
Wow. You can't hide the fact that you're rich.
Let's drink.
Wow. I drank a lot of wine with Yong Moon Gu.
Is that all?
If you took all the cash you got in wine cases,
you could buy at least a vineyard.
Must you say that?
Is it because this wine is free with no strings attached?
It's comfortable to drink.
Aren't you eating?
What?
Yes. I don't usually eat late at night.
I have to stay fit.
Then why did you make two?
Will you really not eat it?
No.
You won't gain weight if you work off what you eat.
What a good eater.
I know I bring you the prey,
but you have a lot to learn from me about being a prosecutor.
Especially in court.
Does it feel awkward?
Why are you suddenly bringing up work?
No. I'm saying...
you won't win if you throw only fastballs like you.
You need to throw changeups depending on the person.
That's how you win.
Catch them off guard, right?
I'll throw a changeup at the upcoming trial...
for Hong Moo Sup.
Right. Good.
(Kang Ha Joon)
Hey. Put that on speaker.
(Speaker)
Hi, Woo In. Sorry.
I've been dealing with problems with the company and couldn't call.
I was going to call you when I saw the article.
Are you okay?
What happened was...
What article? Is something wrong, Mr. Kang?
Are you with Mr. Do?
Yes, it just happened.
Have you been able to restore Won Ki Choon's hard drive yet?
Well... It'll take a while longer.
Take care of things at the company first.
Captain Do and I will handle the trial somehow.
Hear that? We're busy, so bye.
Sir. I need to report something.
We almost have the entity...
spreading the lies.
Will he be okay?
I'll start the brief on Commanding General Hong's abuse...
of his housekeeping soldier.
(Detective)
This case is about how Commanding General Hong Moo Sup...
and his younger sister abused their housekeeping soldier...
and made him run personal errands.
Please go to page two.
Take a sheet each and fill them in properly.
(The commanding general did not abuse or bully me.)
(Ahn Yoo Ra)
They're all likely victims,
but go over the list again.
(Hong Moo Sup, Won Ki Choon, Heo Kang In)
What's wrong with that?
Do your job and be worth your pay!
Mr. Yong, we want different lawyers.
Can I see your camera footage?
Thank you.
We put the most weight on the victim's statement,
and to uncover the facts,
we are carrying out a thorough investigation.
We're looking into if there were other victims,
and are also working hard...
on obtaining proof to support our case.
(Won Ki Choon's external hard drive)
I took the bullet when driving Cha Ho Cheol out of IM Defense...
and lied in court.
I did it for you, Commander.
That's not all.
The car accident you caused 20 years ago.
The one where you ran over the married military investigators.
Don't you play dumb with me...
for I remember everything clearly.
This is enough to put her in court.
(Cha Woo In)
Mr. Kang! I have bad news.
- Mr. Kang? - What's this about?
What are you doing?
We'll search the premises for suspicion of espionage.
Please cooperate.
Get to it.
Take everything.
Give me that.
Do you want an extra charge?
Mr. Kang. I'm not sure if I should tell you this right now.
The people who spread the lies.
I can't be sure, but I suspect this one place.
I see who did it.
Let's talk another time.
Sure.
It wasn't just me.
I was assisted by those who work closely with me.
Just like...
you and Cha Woo In.
I bought up all your shares that had hit rock bottom.
Do you know what that means?
You were with Woo In when her father went down.
- Leave. - No.
Pretty soon, you will be the one who leaves this place.
Which is why...
I'll say what I said to Be Man five years ago...
when I first met him.
Have you ever heard of an offer one can't refuse?
(A few days later)
(2nd trial of commanding general's abuse charges)
(Prosecutor)
Captain Do.
What?
I found a witness.
A witness that will win us this trial.
What?
Who is it?
Why didn't you tell me?
I couldn't tell you in case you disapproved.
Why would I disapprove?
The truth is, yesterday...
(Prosecutor)
(Prosecutor)
All rise.
(Defendant, Defense Attorney)
Your Honor.
I'd like to call my witness.
A witness?
I believe you did not register any witnesses for today's trial.
The witness needed some time...
to decide whether to appear.
What does the defense say?
We cannot allow it, of course.
Let me make something clear.
From now on, we will only allow witnesses we agreed on beforehand.
Defense is adamant, and I have no choice.
If you prevent this witness from speaking,
you will face a huge backlash.
That is a very dangerous statement.
Who is that witness?
If you bring a housekeeping soldier...
who served long ago to say...
(In session)
(In session)
(Defendant, Defense Attorney)
What on earth...
Cha Woo In.
I'll become a monster, step on and climb over the men,
and get to the top.
Your Honor.
I'm Major General No Hwa Young, 4th Infantry Division Commander.
Staff Sergeant Shin Min Cheol is one of my prized officers.
Please allow me to speak for him.
(Military Prosecutor Doberman)
The judge said it point-blank.
We'll do it like last time, right?
He told me to slack off like last time.
I ask for the removal of this judge.
Are you a soldier or a prosecutor?
Why would I answer you of all people?
There's something I was too scared to say.
We must make him pay.
Sergeant Ahn is the son of Gusan Bank's president.
There's a witness who will win this case for us.
Are you interested?
- Are you done with the questions? - I'm not finished!
This will be an easy trial.
From this moment on,
you are to entrust me with this trial.
