(Staff ensured the animals' safety in the filming of this drama.)
I know it's not much,
but since I'm a soldier,
I'll stick to what my country pays me.
That's right. I decline the renewal of our contract.
Salute.
(Managing Partner Yong Moon Gu)
How dare he?
How dare that punk do this to me?
How dare he? Darn him!
The information you asked for on military prosecutor Cha Woo In.
Fine!
When shall I schedule...
your inauguration as IM Defense's CEO?
Cancel the ceremony.
Chairman No soured the atmosphere.
I'll move right into his office.
Yes, sir.
What shall I do about all this?
Burn it.
A soldier's pay barely lasts a month in the bank.
Isn't it a waste of your hard work for the past five years?
I regret it dearly.
I think I'll even dream of the money I just gave up.
Oh, right. I asked how you knew I'd be here.
Answer my question first.
Just a month ago, you told me you'd handcuff Captain Cha.
- But now... - I handcuffed No Tae Nam.
Yes. So what exactly is going on?
I'm joining forces with Cha.
Should I say we're comrades with a common purpose?
You and Captain Cha, comrades?
I don't know how or why that happened,
but that answers a few questions.
So I must ask.
Are you going to stick with me, Sang Ki?
Well... I should.
I'm penniless now. You're okay with that?
Did you think all I cared about was the money?
It's a sore loss, but still.
Oh, really?
Nice.
Hey.
I got No Tae Nam.
Who shall do the grilling?
The prosecutor will be here soon. Stay put.
Hey.
Darn it.
Hey, you. Open the door.
Open up. Let me out.
Don't you hear me?
Hey. Do Be Man.
It's been so long.
You're on my case?
Then it's game over.
It's a pity we meet in here.
(Interviews are recorded)
I feel better now that my man is here.
Get me out of here quick.
It hurts bad where I got shot.
I need to get to a hospital and get an MRI.
Oh, dear. I'll have you moved once I get your statement.
Let's see.
Must we do this?
It's just a formality.
This is the army after all. I hope you understand.
Take a seat.
He's about to question No Tae Nam.
Listen carefully.
It's a chance to figure out if Be Man really cut ties with him.
Do you still doubt him?
- I don't trust him completely yet. - IM Defense's...
ex-Chairman No Tae Nam was arrested today,
the same day Lee Jae Sik became Minister of National Defense.
Division Commander No Hwa Young who is said to be his mother...
hurriedly left the inauguration ceremony.
Though the public trusts the military...
On the military's biggest day,
you well and truly messed with them, Woo In.
No Hwa Young and Lee Jae Sik won't see eye-to-eye now.
Minister Lee.
Why you...
I apologize. I wasn't thinking.
How dare you?
I wouldn't have been able to hit you if you were a woman.
I know.
You ruined the greatest day in my 40-year military career.
You, Hwa Young, of all people.
Because of your stupid son,
I was humiliated in public!
In front of the whole military and the whole public!
He was in your division,
and you still couldn't control him?
Did you not even know he'd deserted?
Clean up this mess, even if it means cutting him off!
I promise you that my son...
will never be mentioned by the public again.
I will stake my uniform on it.
You what?
If my son causes one more problem,
I will leave the army.
Let's go.
Where's Tae Nam now?
He's being questioned in the legal office.
I should've listened to you then.
This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't enlisted.
It's even worse now that I got out once.
Describe how you got out of the recruit training center.
Hey. You sound like a real prosecutor, Mr. Doberman.
This is just for show, isn't it?
Just describe what you did.
The statement is a formality, right?
I went to the toilet,
and I noticed the freezer truck outside.
I went inside to look for some food.
It must've been freezing cold in the truck.
What? Yes, it was.
It was so cold that I passed out.
When you woke up, you were outside.
That's right.
Then you didn't desert. You were made to desert.
I like that a lot.
That's it. I was made to desert.
It was unintended.
You know, it's stuffy in here.
I'm claustrophobic.
Get me out of here quick.
First things first.
If you didn't intend to desert,
why were you about to leave Korea in a private plane?
Leave Korea?
Well, that was...
Since I was out...
Since I was somehow made to desert,
I didn't want to return right away.
I was going to take a quick trip.
That's embarrassing.
- It is, isn't it? - Yes.
The truth is, this is the worst bit.
Add some flesh to the story for me.
I'd like to nap now.
Is this fun?
(Do Be Man, Republic of Korea Army)
Are you enjoying how I'm playing along?
No Tae Nam.
No Tae Nam.
Answer me, you punk!
What?
What are you...
My three diamonds say I'm a captain.
You're just a trainee who's not yet even a private.
You will address me and speak according to army rules.
Have you gone crazy? What's gotten into you?
You know what prosecutors can do.
We can easily cover up crimes or blow them out of proportion.
But I'm also one in a military uniform.
So can you imagine my power?
Darn soldier boy, how dare you hit me.
Respect the rank, soldier.
State your name and rank.
My mom is your division commander!
State your name and rank!
This is police brutality.
I'm trainee No Tae Nam.
Don't you have an assigned number?
It's 30. I mean, 13. I'm Trainee number 13 No Tae Nam.
Trainee number 13 No Tae Nam.
You will never leave this place.
As of today, the military will be your home.
Oh, look. The cameras are back online.
Why are you not seated?
So where were we?
We have the statement given by the night watch guard...
on the night of the incident,
the security footage from the cookhouse,
the statement given by your friend you met up with,
and the video we collected at the airport.
All the evidence proves your desertion.
So according to article 30 of the Military Criminal Act,
you will be charged with desertion from military service.
Desertion from military service.
Sign it.
(Lawyer Yong Moon Gu)
What happened?
I'm in the middle of gathering the facts.
What I know for sure is that Do Be Man...
made an enemy out of you and me.
How is Do Be Man our main issue?
The mess Tae Nam made has put my reputation in jeopardy.
It was during the minister's inauguration!
General No, please give me some time.
Salute.
Cha Woo In.
Salute.
Captain Cha.
That salute you just hesitantly sent my way.
Do you know why it is performed?
According to our code of conduct,
it is to show respect to senior officers.
Incorrect.
The tradition began with knights in the Middle Ages...
who wore steel armor from head to toe.
They lifted their helmets before a battle...
to show their faces.
To ensure that they are a friendly force.
At ease, Captain Cha.
Do it again.
It means we are comrades...
on a battlefield where bullets fly.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
Both of you, at ease.
I see you're burning the midnight oil.
We conducted an interview with trainee No Tae Nam...
regarding his desertion.
Who interviewed him?
That would be me, ma'am.
Brief me on his interview.
Are you asking as his mother or as the commander?
I can shift my answer according to whom I'm addressing.
Don't you see my uniform and stripes?
I apologize, commander.
He has given me his statement regarding his desertion.
Punish trainee No Tae Nam strictly by the book.
As long as I am in command,
there will be no exceptions.
That's what I came by to say...
as your immediate supervisor.
Do you understand?
Affirmative, ma'am.
Whatever.
Even if you don't help me,
I'll soon get out of here.
See you on the outside, you lowlifes.
No Tae Nam orchestrated it all so that he didn't have...
to pay back the loan he took out from your father's bank.
What?
You expect me to believe that?
I may have been the one to stab you,
but he's the one who put the knife in my hand.
Why are you even telling me this?
So that we can call it a truce.
Also,
to motivate you to have a good stint in the army.
Make No Tae Nam your dog.
(Personnel Record: Cha Woo In)
(Father: Cha Ho Cheol,)
(former chairman of IM Defense Industry)
(Died in a car accident, 2015)
Cha Woo In...
is Cha Ho Cheol's daughter?
(Managing Partner Yong Moon Gu)
- Mr. Prosecutor, you're here. - Yes, I wanted to see the scene.
Sure thing.
I'm at the scene.
Chairman Cha died at the scene,
but he had a passenger in the car.
A passenger? Who?
His daughter.
She flew in from the US three days ago.
Did she also die?
No, she's currently unconscious.
Judging by the scene, I doubt she'll wake up.
General?
How hilarious of you.
This coming from a man...
who stabbed the innocent as a prosecutor?
I never thought I'd hear you mention justice.
His daughter whom we presumed dead...
became a military prosecutor.
And now she's involved in all of No Tae Nam's cases.

One too many coincidences?
Then they're no longer coincidences.
(Personnel Record: Cha Woo In)
Number 34, your New York steak burger is ready.
Your New York steak burger...
- is ready. - Your burger is ready.
- Please enjoy. - Thank you.
Welcome.
How's the work? Is it doable?
My boss is great and everything is good.
No Tae Nam's trial put me through the wringer,
but at least Allen paid for his crimes.
The fact that I don't have to face them anymore...
was enough to put me at ease.
Se Na,
do you remember how I said...
I'd tell you everything when the time is right?
I...
The redhead who captured No Tae Nam and disappeared at the airport.
That was your alter ego.
Yes, it was me.
Then I guessed correctly.
I was curious about how the video landed in your hands,
but now I know.
There is more I wish to ask,
but I'll hold back.
You're not the type to walk away...
from the battle you are engaged in.
I have now begun a battle of my own.
I won't let past events bring me pain.
That's right.
Let's beat our demons.
(DMZ Mine Explosion Incident)
(Military Police)
(Military Police)
Report status!
I don't see the company commander.
He must've stepped on a mine.
Everyone, stay where you are!
Request support from the base!
Snap out of it! Two people's lives are in my hands.
Hey!
I'll go save him.
It's a minefield!
Nonsense! My man is out there!
I can avoid the mines here with my eyes closed.
Don't any of you move.
This is...
an order.
- Commander! - Commander!
- Commander! - Commander!
What happened?
- Commander! - Commander!
- Commander! - Commander!
Commander?
- Commander! - Commander!
- Commander! - Commander!
Are you all right?
Commander. Are you all right?
The Mine Hero, the saint who saved his subordinate from a minefield.
Won Ki Choon, leader of the Reconnaissance Unit.
He lost a leg in exchange for becoming a hero...
and must walk with a crutch for the rest of his life.
Why is he the first target?
There were...
two main players in ruining my dad's company six years ago.
Yong Moon Gu and Won Ki Choon.
Yong Moon Gu received Law and One as a reward,
and Won Ki Choon joined the Patriotic Society.
What was his role with respect to IM Defense?
("IM Defense's Chairman Cha Ho Cheol Leaks Classified Military Intel")
IM Defense's Chairman Cha Ho Cheol...
has leaked classified military information.
In exchange for crucial information regarding the Army's tanks,
Chairman Cha's IM Defense...
received tens of millions of dollars...
from a Chinese defense company, and I have the proof!
Chairman Cha Ho Cheol spearheaded all of this!
(National Defense)
Selling classified military intel...
is a serious act of treason! He has sold the nation!
Chairman Cha Ho Cheol deserves to be shot...
by a firing squad.
("Just Stay Alive. I'll Go.")
I'm sure you remember the incident when a mine went off...
during a reconnaissance patrol in the Demilitarized Zone.
There was a proud soldier who risked his life...
to save his subordinate and lost his leg.
It's Mine Hero Won Ki Choon, the Reconnaissance Unit commander.
He wrote a self-penned book...
about the incident in the minefield and how his life changed thereafter.
The book-signing event to celebrate the launch...
of his book "Just Stay Alive. I'll Go" is being held...
in bookstores across the nation.
- Here. - May I get a picture with you?
Sure.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Anyone who wants a picture, please come forward.
- Me! - Okay.
Okay. Look at Mommy.
Gosh.
("Just Stay Alive. I'll Go.")
Six years ago, he was a hero for exposing the truth.
Now, he's a mine hero.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Sure.
He isn't a great enough person...
to enter a minefield for a subordinate.
He fabricated evidence...
- to frame my father after all. - Any comments on today's event?
Our country is...
You look like you want to shoot him right this instant.
I appreciate the attention and the outpouring of love.
(Won Ki Choon)
("Just Stay Alive. I'll Go.")
(Won Ki Choon)
Get him.
Did you plan this too?
- Answer me. - No, sir.
Oh my gosh.
I'm here to report on the shooting of Reconnaissance Unit Commander.
Won Ki Choon.
The shooter was one of my soldiers?
Based on the investigation by the military police,
it was decided... Determined...
that he was Corporal Lee Han Yong... I mean, Corporal Kim Han Yong.
What was his motive?
That has not been determined yet.
The suspect is being transported to our office.
But there is a truly shocking fact.
I don't know how to take it, but...
While investigating the identity of Corporal Kim Han Yong...
The identity of the shooter of the Mine Hero today...
has been uncovered, which has shocked the nation.
Corporal Kim is the younger brother of the company commander...
who Commander Won Ki Choon risked his life to save in the minefield.
The suspect has just arrived.
Why did you attack Commander Won?
Do you have a grudge against him?
Why did you get the gun?
(Reconnaissance Unit Commander Won Ki Choon's Shooting Case)
Corporal Kim Han Yong worked in the fourth division's armory.
After examining the bullets, he forged the documents.
He stole the military-issued gun K-5 used in the crime and the bullets...
and left the base.
(Permission to Leave Base)
(Kim Han Yong)
Salute.
He headed straight from the base to the scene of the crime.
It appears he prepared for the crime in the bathroom.
What's going on?
(Won Ki Choon)
(Video of bookstore shooting)
- Sir. - He shot a blank, right?
What? How did you know?
I was just getting to that.
Since there's no explosive in a blank, the recoil is weak.
The sound differs too.
If a live bullet goes "Bang!"
A blank goes, "Blah."
How can you tell from that video?
You're so confident as if you were there in person.
Aren't you used to seeing how smart I am?
If it was a blank, it means he didn't intend to kill.
Not necessarily.
You can't kill a person with a blank.
What if he intended to use a live bullet,
but used a blank by mistake because he was nervous?
(Kim Han Yong)
He worked in the armory.
He could tell the difference.
He stole a gun with the intent of killing a person.
This was the real deal.
He had live bullets on him, correct?
Yes. There were eight live bullets found in his pocket.
It was clearly an attempted murder.
He shot a blank, but he had live bullets on him,
so we must consider it an act with the intent of murder.
Indict him for attempted murder.
Even if he has live bullets, if he intentionally shot a blank,
it is not attempted murder.
We'll have to think about that.
That's not what is most important right now.
That's right. The point is the motivation for murder.
Why he shot a gun at the man who saved his brother's life.
(Do Be Man)
So he wasn't a part of your plan for revenge.
I take my own revenge.
He only complicated things.
I'd admit it if it were me.
The lawyer says he's running late and to start without him.
That rat hasn't changed.
Do you know him?
He was my predecessor at the military law office.
He's probably late because he was out golfing.
Anyway, let's get him to talk first.
- Yes, sir. - Sit here.
Kim Han Yong.
Murder of a supervising officer and conspiracy thereof.
Think before you practice your right to remain silent.
This is an extremely serious situation.
(Kim Han Yong)
A lowly soldier shot the unit commander.
The punishment is harsher when the victim is an officer.
Why'd you shoot him?
And he's the savior who saved your brother's life.
Talk about being an ingrate.
Gosh.
What? Did that bother you?
What exactly?
Calling you an ingrate?
Or "savior"?
My only regret is...
not blowing his brains out.
Is that right?
You could've killed him.
You had plenty of live bullets.
What? Were you too scared once you had the chance?
Were you?
See? He's a total nutjob...
and a scaredy-cat.
Do you think I don't know your game?
You'll agitate me into saying...
what you want to hear, then you'll spin your own story.
Soldiers like you?
I will never trust.
You're a soldier yourself,
and so is your brother who's in the hospital.
Don't you dare mention my poor brother!
One thing's for sure.
You shot him for your brother.
People think the Mine Hero saved your brother's life,
but you don't think so.
But there's another reason you can't speak.
Not only do you not trust soldiers like us,
you also resent us.
We got something important.
There's something fishy about the Mine Hero.
You can take this case.
I'll back you up in my own way.
I understand.
Hey, you're done already?
I showed up for no reason.
You're still here?
Yes. Stuff happened.
Oh, you're on this case?
Aren't you neglecting your duties?
Come on. I may be an attorney,
but would I want to defend someone who shot to kill the Mine Hero?
I do it because I have to.
He shot a blank.
You didn't even read the brief.
Do you even know your client's name?
That piece of dirt.
Why should I know his name?
If you act like this, who does he have left to trust?
He already said he distrusts us.
Listen. Whose side are you really on?
Why not quit prosecuting and defend soldiers in my place?
Am I wrong, Be Man?
No.
If you don't do your best in court, I will report you.
Gosh. She's way out of line.
Bossing me around when I'm way more senior.
Is she your team's newbie?
Yes.
She hasn't been with us for long. I hope you understand.
Why did you keep quiet?
You just let her chew me out.
Sometimes a good subordinate teaches a senior a lesson.
What? Was that comment for me?
I was talking about myself.
I'll see you in court.
Salute.
Why do you think Corporal Kim Han Yong shot you?
I'm sure he did it for his family.
His older brother is half dead.
He must've wanted to vent his fury.
I happened to be his target.
It's all on me.
If only I'd gotten him...
out of the minefield unscathed...
I'll ask you a sensitive question.
The incident left you disabled.
Do you not regret entering the minefield?
Regret it?
I regret it with all my heart.
I regret failing the mission.
But I can say for sure that I do not regret...
entering the minefield.
Can I take a break?
Thank you very much, sir.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
- Thank you. - Stay strong.
- Cheer up. - Goodbye.
I wish you well. Thank you.
Bye. Thank you.
As you know, Captain,
this case...
is at the center of attention.
As it's at the center of attention,
I will investigate it even more thoroughly.
Okay.
Why on earth did that punk shoot me?
Did you find out?
Why do you think he shot you?
Not what you said to the reporters.
How would I know?
I saved his brother's life,
and he repaid me with a bullet.
Do you wish him to be let off leniently?
"Leniently"?
I'd like to consider that when I ask for a sentence.
If you write a petition for...
Can you say that after seeing my leg?
You're a soldier yourself!
Whether he shot a live bullet or a blank,
the punk shot a senior officer!
This is a huge crime verging on treason!
Kim Han Yong deserves to be shot by a firing squad.
Do you understand?
Selling classified military intel...
is a serious act of treason! He has sold the nation!
Chairman Cha Ho Cheol...
deserves to be shot by a firing squad.
You need not worry.
Just as you wish,
this case will become an example.
I will see to it myself.
Good.
I will see you in court.
Okay. Do your job.
Oh, dear.
Excuse me.
How is he?
He was treated relatively soon, so his life isn't in danger.
The CT shows...
a shard of a mine lodged in his brain.
We didn't take it out.
Operating to remove it could cause worse damage.
He was lucky.
Would you call this luck?
The brothers were close.
Their parents died when they were young,
and he was the corporal's only friend and father figure.
Keeping familiar objects close.
It's one way to help with delirium.
His wrists and ankles are secured, but he keeps trying to escape.
His brain must be damaged.
He doesn't recognize anyone,
and he just keeps saying he must go somewhere.
He can't enjoy a normal life now.
(Late Cha Ho Cheol)
(Late Cha Ho Cheol)
I don't mean to side with Kim Han Yong,
but I think...
I'd lose my mind if my only family ended up like this.
Why didn't you tell me the division commander came by?
I didn't because I knew you'd react just like this.
She just came to encourage us, so you don't have to worry.
Are you sure it was to encourage you?
You didn't do anything to upset her, did you?
As far as I'm aware, no.
Then why does she want to see us?
She told me to severely punish No Tae Nam.
Okay. No, wait, "severely punish"?
Severely punish her son?
She's really something.
She's a scary woman... Mom.
Her and Cha Woo In both. Female soldiers are more cutthroat.
I bet even their blood is cold.
I never thought I'd be sandwiched between two scary women.
Not to mention the fool who shot at the Mine Hero.
I can't relax for a day at this job.
Not that again.
Come on.
- Salute! - Salute!
At ease.
That's a list of corrupt army suppliers...
my predecessor didn't take care of.
Report civilians to the authorities,
and thoroughly investigate the soldiers involved...
and imprison them or strip them of their uniforms.
Show me what you can do, Staff Judge Advocate Seo.
I will work as if I'm cutting out rotting flesh to save our army!
Captain Do Be Man.
Captain Do Be Man.
We have somewhere to go. Follow me.
(Myeongse Construction)
(Myeongse Construction Area Plan)
May I ask why we're here?
What are you talking about?
She's here.
You will have heard of the 4th Infantry Division's stance.
You can't do this.
We had the residents move away,
and now we just have to sell the land.
You can't scrap the hotel construction project.
City Hall has already approved this project.
This has all been discussed...
with the former division commander.
You can't go back on this decision.
What's funny is that this so-called agreement...
isn't in the form of any written document.
Captain Do.
Captain Do Be Man.
As a military prosecutor, state the legal issues...
regarding the construction of a hotel within a military area.
According to article 13...
of the Military Installation and Military Facilities Protection Act,
new construction of installations must be approved...
by the Minister of National Defense...
or the commander of the jurisdictional unit.
Fourth division's air defense camp...
that is in the vicinity is crucial...
when it comes to the defense of cities adjacent to Seoul.
A hotel with five separate buildings that are 172m in height?
That will enclose the air defense camp...
rendering it useless.
Being experts in the construction field...
must mean you're aware of this,
but two things are a priority when developing land.
Cultural assets and army bases.
The law doesn't show leniency to the ignorant.
Although I highly doubt that you didn't know.
Don't construct the hotel only to knock it down later.
The best course of action will be to redesign and replan.
Was the military prosecutor clear enough?
As long as I am in command, this is where my division stands.
Commander!
This will only put you in a tight spot.
Are you sure you can handle the outcome?
(Hotel complex with a skyline of 172m)
Did you just threaten me...
in the presence of a military prosecutor?
My apologies, commander.
Darn, this is complicated.
When will I ever get this done?
Salute.
(General Court for Armed Force)
Salute.
- Cha Woo In. - Yes?
Show me your nails.
- Sorry? - I hear that...
there are female soldiers who not only wear makeup...
but also paint their nails like civilians!
Now, show me your nails.
See what I mean?
Peach-colored nail polish!
Oh, it's not.
You always manage to dodge the bullet, don't you?
Consider yourself lucky.
Sir, do you still only see me as a "female" soldier?
I am dutifully serving the army...
and have been doing good work as a military prosecutor.
Being the subject of random inspections...
just because I'm a woman is unjust.
Why must female soldiers prove...
that they are not unlike male soldiers?
Well, that is... I mean...
Unfair and unjust? This wasn't a random inspection.
This isn't a matter of discrimination.
I meant to say that male soldiers can also wear nail polish...
Darn those female soldiers. They're terrifying!
This is exactly why I never got married.
Why is there so much of this?
When will I get through with all these papers?
You responded promptly despite having no prior information.
I'm impressed, Captain Do.
(Do Be Man)
Are you pulling the stops...
on all the projects conducted by the former division commander?
Do I seem like someone who took this position...
only to clean someone else's mess?
No, ma'am. And I didn't mean it that way.
War isn't a concept that breathes in their minds.
It's why they're looking to build hotels around the army base...
not caring that their high buildings...
will lead to aircraft being deviated.
How is Colonel Won Ki Choon's trial coming along?
Cha Woo In is looking into...
why Kim Han Yong grabbed the loaded gun.
Why he grabbed the gun?
One cannot impose a proper sentence...
without knowing why the incident took place.
Military prosecutors are siding with the assailant...
while trying to figure out what happened?
Prosecutors do not take sides,
even if it's a superior's.
This is a case where a mere soldier...
fired a gun to harm a commanding officer.
Rebellion against rank...
is the most heinous act that could destroy the army.
It will never be tolerated within my division.
But now I hear you're looking into why he did it.
Did you ask me to accompany you today...
so that you could interfere with our investigation?
Choose your words carefully, Captain Do.
It's true that Kim Han Yong attacked a senior officer,
but getting to the bottom of why this happened...
is more important on our end.
Then I'll keep my eyes on you and watch how you settle this case.
(The Military Pulls the Plug in the Hotel Construction!)
(Myeongse Hotel's new project with the city and...)
(the Ministry of National Defense fell through.)
(The Military Pulls the Plug in the Hotel Construction!)
How dare you show your face!
(The Military Pulls the Plug in the Hotel Construction!)
I apologize, Minister Lee.
I should've notified you.
Am I to understand that this was your doing?
I am aware that you received money...
through the former division commander.
It's why I severed ties.
You severed ties?
There's a sting in your words.
What made you the minister...
will end up as the stake through your heart.
What did you just say?
Are you trying to walk over me?
Please know that I made a careful decision...
that would appease your anger brought on by my son.
I will do everything in my power...
to be the shield you need.
So you're like Nongae who threw herself in the river...
with her arms tight around the pig of the enemy general?
The fourth division...
will soon be arresting...
those in league with defense contractors.
A huge cleanup within the army that no one was able to achieve.
You will be the one to spearhead it.
Nothing scared me during my days in the military.
But politics is a different game.
It's like you said. I can't tell who's aiming at me...
which prompts fear.
I will protect you, Minister Lee.
Up until this day, I have been following the path you paved.
It is now my turn...
to pave the way for you.
Never do I abandon my people.
You know that, right?
Won Ki Choon.
A man who's hardly a proper soldier...
will be given a service medal that I never got to receive.
They say that political parties are awaiting his retirement.
What has the world come to?
I will relay the message to Colonel Won.
He will be delighted.
We both know he's the type to let his men die in battle...
while he takes cover.
So a man like that...
heading into a minefield to save a subordinate?
A dog would bark at that.
Who knew, right?
Never do I abandon my people.
You know that, right?
I doubt he can abandon someone...
who has already been abandoned once.
- Salute. - Salute.
What is it?
The division commander wishes to see you.
I'm sure that he figured something out.
Pardon? To whom do you refer?
Kim Han Yong. The punk who shot you.
I don't know how he found out,
but he clearly knows something.
What...
do you mean?
Did you forget because you were enjoying playing the hero?
I'm talking about you shooting his brother, you idiot!
The trial will begin soon.
If the truth gets out, your image as a hero will be gone.
Please help me.
I'll kill you.
Just give your command.
I'll do absolutely anything.
Good.
You must do anything.
(Chief Executive Officer Yong Moon Gu)
(Chairman Cha Ho Cheol)
The investigators will be coming soon.
You should leave,
so your employees don't see you being disgraced.
I'll do that much for you.
Yong Moon Gu.
I committed none of the crimes that you claim I did.
Why are you framing me?
(My daughter)
What do you gain by destroying my company?
All of this was ordered...
by No Hwa Young, wasn't it?
Take him out the back.
Cha Ho Cheol, come with us.
Darn you.
(Chief Executive Officer Yong Moon Gu)
After Cha Ho Cheol and No Tae Nam,
I'm the third person to occupy this office.
I may be a figurehead right now,
but IM Defense...
will be mine very soon.
What do you gain by destroying my company?
All of this was ordered...
by No Hwa Young, wasn't it?
One, two.
One, two.
Okay. Strike.
Dad!
Don't let your guard down.
You never know when or how someone will attack.
Wow. You're so different from other dads.
Okay. Again.
One, two.
I was the one who got hit this time.
Gosh.
You can be a professional boxer.
Should I quit law school?
It's all fighting, when it comes down to it.
Seriously. Why would you quit?
Gosh.
I have something to show you.
Did you catch a fish?
It's a big fish. So big that the fishing rod may snap.
You know I can't handle being curious.
Bring it to our office now.
Yes, sir.
Are you insane?
A military prosecutor set up a secret camera?
I can't believe that I became the target.
It was all my fault.
Even if you're blinded by your desire for revenge.
Why don't you watch it first?
What for? It's illegal evidence we can't use in court.
You got me all excited for nothing.
Forget it then, don't watch.
It's my trial anyway.
You need to lose that habit.
I'll...
What the...
This was taken just before he was discharged.
He had been acting all this time.
Let's prosecute Commander Won Ki Choon right away...
and reinvestigate the mine incident.
- We can't do that. - Why not?
If we do, he'll make preparations.
I will attack him while he has his guard down,
playing the hero.
It's powerful evidence to destroy his fake story...
about the minefield.
That healthy leg.
(In session)
(Reconnaissance Unit Commander Won Ki Choon's Shooting Trial Day 1)
I'll show you the final moments of a fake hero...
when all eyes are focused on him.

(Do Be Man)
It's me. Do Be Man.
Where are you? Why aren't you at the trial?
You know you're not interested in or qualified to handle this case.
What? Do you want to die? Get your butt here now.
Let me send you some pictures before I die.
Take a look first.
(Do Be Man)
(Defense Attorney)
You were late to Kim Han Yong's interrogation...
because you were golfing right?
How many trials did you skip to go golfing?
You often took bribes and got paid for work you never performed.
You remember that I uncovered the special treatment...
Gusan Bank's president's son received, right?
Special treatment received by a military attorney may be next.
Should I do it or not?
What do you want from me?
Wow.
You got the point right away.
You will now say what I say, word for word.
- What? - Be my puppet.
I'll turn you into a celebrity attorney.
Darn it.
Wireless earphones are taped under your desk.
Pair them with your phone.
Defense attorney.
When will you end the call?
Aren't you here to work?
(Defendant, Defense Attorney)
I am.
(Defendant, Defense Attorney)
(Defendant, Defense Attorney)
The witness saved the company commander,
the older brother of Corporal Kim Han Yong.
The witness saved the company commander,
the older brother of Corporal Kim Han Yong.
But there's reason to believe the heroic story is not true.
Your Honor, that has nothing to do with this case.
It's an important issue explaining the corporal's motivation.
What nonsense have you been listening to?
(Won Ki Choon)
That is not true.
The witness shall keep quiet.
What do you think, Captain?
I will not answer your question as it sounds like it's from a novel.
Oh, but for some reason, I'm just an attorney...
and I find it stranger with each second.
What do you mean?
This trial is at the center of the public's attention.
This trial is at the center of the public's attention.
What's just as important as the fact that the defendant shot a commander,
is that the suspicion...
surrounding the Mine Hero must be revealed, Your Honor!
Are you insulting the witness who risked his life...
to save another?
I am not.
During an investigation, if the prosecutor...
comes across evidence that favors the defendant...
During an investigation, if the prosecutor...
comes across evidence that favors the defendant,
for the defendant's benefit they must submit it in court.
So says the Supreme Court case 2001-DA-23447.
Shall I add one more thing?
The military prosecutor doesn't administer punishments,
nor do they defend to protect others.
As the guardian of the law in this military courthouse,
you just reveal the truth.
Prosecution. While preparing for this trial,
did you look into the witness?
(Won Ki Choon)
I did.
I believe the military is as its strongest when honest.
What do you think, Prosecutor?
I agree.
Then I will tell you...
what I know.
(Won Ki Choon)
Now it's your time to shine...
Cha Woo In.
(Weather for November 15)
It was foggy on the day of the mission,
which was not ideal for reconnaissance.
But Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon insisted...
it go on.
Listen, lady prosecutor.
Battles occur all of a sudden.
Do people not fight if it's rainy or foggy?
If you don't know what it's like in the DMZ,
keep your mouth shut.
That's what you say, but records show the other times...
the weather was bad, you canceled the missions.
(Witness Stand)
Here's the proof.
(Reconnaissance File)
Oh, wow.
He canceled the rest.
(Training not completed, Bad weather conditions)
This region fogs up often.
It becomes hard to tell people apart.
Whether the soldier ahead is friend, foe,
or even a wild deer becomes an issue.
If you shoot one of your own by mistake,
that becomes a bigger problem,
so reconnaissance missions are called off completely.
Will you still blame foggy battles?
(Won Ki Choon)
Why was that day an exception?
Why did you go on the mission?
There was no special reason.
The second question I have...
is why you entered the minefield.
(Won Ki Choon)
This is from the 4th Division's joint investigation report.
In the Korean War,
about two million landmines were scattered in the DMZ.
The DMZ has the highest density of landmines in the whole world.
This is why people must stay on designated paths.
(Witness Stand)
But the incident happened...
not on the path that was secured but in the minefield.
(Located 5m from the path)
Witness. Why did you veer off-course...
and into the minefield?
I can figure my way around even with my eyes closed.
If you'd stayed on the path, no mines would've gone off.
Not unless they have feet to walk around on.
(Witness Stand)
Here's my last question.
Witness. How did you...
get out of the minefield?
I said I crawled out.
You crawled out?
You carried a man weighing 80kg...
and crawled out of a minefield with mines that go off when touched?
Even though you lost a leg,
you put up with the pain to crawl out?
That's impossible.
He'd have collapsed.
You and these proceedings...
are mocking me, the Mine Hero!
Prosecutor, you will pay for this!
How dare you mention such nonsense in court!
(Won Ki Choon)
(Prosecutor)
(Prosecutor)
Who do they think I am?
How dare they mock me?
What's this?
What are you doing?
We will reopen the case regarding the DMZ Mine Explosion Incident.
- Arrest him. - Yes, sir.
How dare you? Let me go.
Don't you dare touch me!
The prosecution has crucial proof.
Come with us quietly.
We will not show you any more grace.
What? Proof?
Bring it to me. Let me see it!
May I show it right here?
I will now show you proof that...
the military hero staged everything.
You punk. How far will you go?
Do you think you'll get away with this?
It's a real prosthetic leg.
What's that?
- It's real. - He really was hurt.
My gosh.
You fool. Is this what you wanted to see?
Oh, dear.
General No's here.
(General Court for Armed Force)
(Military Prosecutor Doberman)
I will take full responsibility for what happened.
The Be Man I know wouldn't act unless he was certain.
- You know me. - Now, unofficially,
I will share clues.
I'll move not as a soldier but as a civilian.
From now on, you are my shadow.
The truth still remains buried.
Someone other than us is looking for the army surgeon.
I'm giving you one last opportunity.
We might be dealing with a monster far worse than we imagined.
(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.)
I know it's not much,
but since I'm a soldier,
I'll stick to what my country pays me.
That's right. I decline the renewal of our contract.
Salute.
(Managing Partner Yong Moon Gu)
How dare he?
How dare that punk do this to me?
How dare he? Darn him!
The information you asked for on military prosecutor Cha Woo In.
Fine!
When shall I schedule...
your inauguration as IM Defense's CEO?
Cancel the ceremony.
Chairman No soured the atmosphere.
I'll move right into his office.
Yes, sir.
What shall I do about all this?
Burn it.
A soldier's pay barely lasts a month in the bank.
Isn't it a waste of your hard work for the past five years?
I regret it dearly.
I think I'll even dream of the money I just gave up.
Oh, right. I asked how you knew I'd be here.
Answer my question first.
Just a month ago, you told me you'd handcuff Captain Cha.
- But now... - I handcuffed No Tae Nam.
Yes. So what exactly is going on?
I'm joining forces with Cha.
Should I say we're comrades with a common purpose?
You and Captain Cha, comrades?
I don't know how or why that happened,
but that answers a few questions.
So I must ask.
Are you going to stick with me, Sang Ki?
Well... I should.
I'm penniless now. You're okay with that?
Did you think all I cared about was the money?
It's a sore loss, but still.
Oh, really?
Nice.
Hey.
I got No Tae Nam.
Who shall do the grilling?
The prosecutor will be here soon. Stay put.
Hey.
Darn it.
Hey, you. Open the door.
Open up. Let me out.
Don't you hear me?
Hey. Do Be Man.
It's been so long.
You're on my case?
Then it's game over.
It's a pity we meet in here.
(Interviews are recorded)
I feel better now that my man is here.
Get me out of here quick.
It hurts bad where I got shot.
I need to get to a hospital and get an MRI.
Oh, dear. I'll have you moved once I get your statement.
Let's see.
Must we do this?
It's just a formality.
This is the army after all. I hope you understand.
Take a seat.
He's about to question No Tae Nam.
Listen carefully.
It's a chance to figure out if Be Man really cut ties with him.
Do you still doubt him?
- I don't trust him completely yet. - IM Defense's...
ex-Chairman No Tae Nam was arrested today,
the same day Lee Jae Sik became Minister of National Defense.
Division Commander No Hwa Young who is said to be his mother...
hurriedly left the inauguration ceremony.
Though the public trusts the military...
On the military's biggest day,
you well and truly messed with them, Woo In.
No Hwa Young and Lee Jae Sik won't see eye-to-eye now.
Minister Lee.
Why you...
I apologize. I wasn't thinking.
How dare you?
I wouldn't have been able to hit you if you were a woman.
I know.
You ruined the greatest day in my 40-year military career.
You, Hwa Young, of all people.
Because of your stupid son,
I was humiliated in public!
In front of the whole military and the whole public!
He was in your division,
and you still couldn't control him?
Did you not even know he'd deserted?
Clean up this mess, even if it means cutting him off!
I promise you that my son...
will never be mentioned by the public again.
I will stake my uniform on it.
You what?
If my son causes one more problem,
I will leave the army.
Let's go.
Where's Tae Nam now?
He's being questioned in the legal office.
I should've listened to you then.
This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't enlisted.
It's even worse now that I got out once.
Describe how you got out of the recruit training center.
Hey. You sound like a real prosecutor, Mr. Doberman.
This is just for show, isn't it?
Just describe what you did.
The statement is a formality, right?
I went to the toilet,
and I noticed the freezer truck outside.
I went inside to look for some food.
It must've been freezing cold in the truck.
What? Yes, it was.
It was so cold that I passed out.
When you woke up, you were outside.
That's right.
Then you didn't desert. You were made to desert.
I like that a lot.
That's it. I was made to desert.
It was unintended.
You know, it's stuffy in here.
I'm claustrophobic.
Get me out of here quick.
First things first.
If you didn't intend to desert,
why were you about to leave Korea in a private plane?
Leave Korea?
Well, that was...
Since I was out...
Since I was somehow made to desert,
I didn't want to return right away.
I was going to take a quick trip.
That's embarrassing.
- It is, isn't it? - Yes.
The truth is, this is the worst bit.
Add some flesh to the story for me.
I'd like to nap now.
Is this fun?
(Do Be Man, Republic of Korea Army)
Are you enjoying how I'm playing along?
No Tae Nam.
No Tae Nam.
Answer me, you punk!
What?
What are you...
My three diamonds say I'm a captain.
You're just a trainee who's not yet even a private.
You will address me and speak according to army rules.
Have you gone crazy? What's gotten into you?
You know what prosecutors can do.
We can easily cover up crimes or blow them out of proportion.
But I'm also one in a military uniform.
So can you imagine my power?
Darn soldier boy, how dare you hit me.
Respect the rank, soldier.
State your name and rank.
My mom is your division commander!
State your name and rank!
This is police brutality.
I'm trainee No Tae Nam.
Don't you have an assigned number?
It's 30. I mean, 13. I'm Trainee number 13 No Tae Nam.
Trainee number 13 No Tae Nam.
You will never leave this place.
As of today, the military will be your home.
Oh, look. The cameras are back online.
Why are you not seated?
So where were we?
We have the statement given by the night watch guard...
on the night of the incident,
the security footage from the cookhouse,
the statement given by your friend you met up with,
and the video we collected at the airport.
All the evidence proves your desertion.
So according to article 30 of the Military Criminal Act,
you will be charged with desertion from military service.
Desertion from military service.
Sign it.
(Lawyer Yong Moon Gu)
What happened?
I'm in the middle of gathering the facts.
What I know for sure is that Do Be Man...
made an enemy out of you and me.
How is Do Be Man our main issue?
The mess Tae Nam made has put my reputation in jeopardy.
It was during the minister's inauguration!
General No, please give me some time.
Salute.
Cha Woo In.
Salute.
Captain Cha.
That salute you just hesitantly sent my way.
Do you know why it is performed?
According to our code of conduct,
it is to show respect to senior officers.
Incorrect.
The tradition began with knights in the Middle Ages...
who wore steel armor from head to toe.
They lifted their helmets before a battle...
to show their faces.
To ensure that they are a friendly force.
At ease, Captain Cha.
Do it again.
It means we are comrades...
on a battlefield where bullets fly.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
Both of you, at ease.
I see you're burning the midnight oil.
We conducted an interview with trainee No Tae Nam...
regarding his desertion.
Who interviewed him?
That would be me, ma'am.
Brief me on his interview.
Are you asking as his mother or as the commander?
I can shift my answer according to whom I'm addressing.
Don't you see my uniform and stripes?
I apologize, commander.
He has given me his statement regarding his desertion.
Punish trainee No Tae Nam strictly by the book.
As long as I am in command,
there will be no exceptions.
That's what I came by to say...
as your immediate supervisor.
Do you understand?
Affirmative, ma'am.
Whatever.
Even if you don't help me,
I'll soon get out of here.
See you on the outside, you lowlifes.
No Tae Nam orchestrated it all so that he didn't have...
to pay back the loan he took out from your father's bank.
What?
You expect me to believe that?
I may have been the one to stab you,
but he's the one who put the knife in my hand.
Why are you even telling me this?
So that we can call it a truce.
Also,
to motivate you to have a good stint in the army.
Make No Tae Nam your dog.

but he had a passenger in the car.
A passenger? Who?
His daughter.
She flew in from the US three days ago.
Did she also die?
No, she's currently unconscious.
Judging by the scene, I doubt she'll wake up.

This coming from a man...
who stabbed the innocent as a prosecutor?

became a military prosecutor.

No Tae Nam's trial put me through the wringer,
but at least Allen paid for his crimes.
The fact that I don't have to face them anymore...
was enough to put me at ease.
Se Na,
do you remember how I said...
I'd tell you everything when the time is right?
I...
The redhead who captured No Tae Nam and disappeared at the airport.
That was your alter ego.
Yes, it was me.
Then I guessed correctly.
I was curious about how the video landed in your hands,
but now I know.
There is more I wish to ask,
but I'll hold back.
You're not the type to walk away...

The Mine Hero, the saint who saved his subordinate from a minefield.
Won Ki Choon, leader of the Reconnaissance Unit.
He lost a leg in exchange for becoming a hero...
and must walk with a crutch for the rest of his life.
Why is he the first target?
There were...
two main players in ruining my dad's company six years ago.
Yong Moon Gu and Won Ki Choon.
Yong Moon Gu received Law and One as a reward,
and Won Ki Choon joined the Patriotic Society.
What was his role with respect to IM Defense?
("IM Defense's Chairman Cha Ho Cheol Leaks Classified Military Intel")
IM Defense's Chairman Cha Ho Cheol...
has leaked classified military information.
In exchange for crucial information regarding the Army's tanks,
Chairman Cha's IM Defense...
received tens of millions of dollars...
from a Chinese defense company, and I have the proof!
Chairman Cha Ho Cheol spearheaded all of this!
(National Defense)
Selling classified military intel...
is a serious act of treason! He has sold the nation!
Chairman Cha Ho Cheol deserves to be shot...
by a firing squad.
("Just Stay Alive. I'll Go.")
I'm sure you remember the incident when a mine went off...
during a reconnaissance patrol in the Demilitarized Zone.
There was a proud soldier who risked his life...
to save his subordinate and lost his leg.
It's Mine Hero Won Ki Choon, the Reconnaissance Unit commander.
He wrote a self-penned book...
about the incident in the minefield and how his life changed thereafter.
The book-signing event to celebrate the launch...
of his book "Just Stay Alive. I'll Go" is being held...
in bookstores across the nation.
- Here. - May I get a picture with you?
Sure.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Anyone who wants a picture, please come forward.
- Me! - Okay.
Okay. Look at Mommy.
Gosh.
("Just Stay Alive. I'll Go.")
Six years ago, he was a hero for exposing the truth.
Now, he's a mine hero.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Sure.
He isn't a great enough person...
to enter a minefield for a subordinate.
He fabricated evidence...
- to frame my father after all. - Any comments on today's event?
Our country is...
You look like you want to shoot him right this instant.
I appreciate the attention and the outpouring of love.
(Won Ki Choon)
("Just Stay Alive. I'll Go.")
(Won Ki Choon)
Get him.
Did you plan this too?
- Answer me. - No, sir.
Oh my gosh.
I'm here to report on the shooting of Reconnaissance Unit Commander.
Won Ki Choon.
The shooter was one of my soldiers?
Based on the investigation by the military police,
it was decided... Determined...
that he was Corporal Lee Han Yong... I mean, Corporal Kim Han Yong.
What was his motive?
That has not been determined yet.
The suspect is being transported to our office.
But there is a truly shocking fact.
I don't know how to take it, but...
While investigating the identity of Corporal Kim Han Yong...
The identity of the shooter of the Mine Hero today...
has been uncovered, which has shocked the nation.
Corporal Kim is the younger brother of the company commander...
who Commander Won Ki Choon risked his life to save in the minefield.
The suspect has just arrived.
Why did you attack Commander Won?
Do you have a grudge against him?
Why did you get the gun?
(Reconnaissance Unit Commander Won Ki Choon's Shooting Case)
Corporal Kim Han Yong worked in the fourth division's armory.
After examining the bullets, he forged the documents.
He stole the military-issued gun K-5 used in the crime and the bullets...
and left the base.
(Permission to Leave Base)
(Kim Han Yong)
Salute.
He headed straight from the base to the scene of the crime.
It appears he prepared for the crime in the bathroom.
What's going on?
(Won Ki Choon)
(Video of bookstore shooting)
- Sir. - He shot a blank, right?
What? How did you know?
I was just getting to that.
Since there's no explosive in a blank, the recoil is weak.
The sound differs too.
If a live bullet goes "Bang!"
A blank goes, "Blah."
How can you tell from that video?
You're so confident as if you were there in person.
Aren't you used to seeing how smart I am?
If it was a blank, it means he didn't intend to kill.
Not necessarily.
You can't kill a person with a blank.
What if he intended to use a live bullet,
but used a blank by mistake because he was nervous?
(Kim Han Yong)
He worked in the armory.
He could tell the difference.
He stole a gun with the intent of killing a person.
This was the real deal.
He had live bullets on him, correct?
Yes. There were eight live bullets found in his pocket.
It was clearly an attempted murder.
He shot a blank, but he had live bullets on him,
so we must consider it an act with the intent of murder.
Indict him for attempted murder.
Even if he has live bullets, if he intentionally shot a blank,
it is not attempted murder.
We'll have to think about that.
That's not what is most important right now.
That's right. The point is the motivation for murder.
Why he shot a gun at the man who saved his brother's life.
(Do Be Man)
So he wasn't a part of your plan for revenge.
I take my own revenge.
He only complicated things.
I'd admit it if it were me.
The lawyer says he's running late and to start without him.
That rat hasn't changed.
Do you know him?
He was my predecessor at the military law office.
He's probably late because he was out golfing.
Anyway, let's get him to talk first.
- Yes, sir. - Sit here.
Kim Han Yong.
Murder of a supervising officer and conspiracy thereof.
Think before you practice your right to remain silent.
This is an extremely serious situation.
(Kim Han Yong)
A lowly soldier shot the unit commander.
The punishment is harsher when the victim is an officer.
Why'd you shoot him?
And he's the savior who saved your brother's life.
Talk about being an ingrate.
Gosh.
What? Did that bother you?
What exactly?
Calling you an ingrate?
Or "savior"?
My only regret is...
not blowing his brains out.
Is that right?
You could've killed him.
You had plenty of live bullets.
What? Were you too scared once you had the chance?
Were you?
See? He's a total nutjob...
and a scaredy-cat.
Do you think I don't know your game?
You'll agitate me into saying...
what you want to hear, then you'll spin your own story.
Soldiers like you?
I will never trust.
You're a soldier yourself,
and so is your brother who's in the hospital.
Don't you dare mention my poor brother!
One thing's for sure.
You shot him for your brother.
People think the Mine Hero saved your brother's life,
but you don't think so.
But there's another reason you can't speak.
Not only do you not trust soldiers like us,
you also resent us.
We got something important.
There's something fishy about the Mine Hero.
You can take this case.
I'll back you up in my own way.
I understand.
Hey, you're done already?
I showed up for no reason.
You're still here?
Yes. Stuff happened.
Oh, you're on this case?
Aren't you neglecting your duties?
Come on. I may be an attorney,
but would I want to defend someone who shot to kill the Mine Hero?
I do it because I have to.
He shot a blank.
You didn't even read the brief.
Do you even know your client's name?
That piece of dirt.
Why should I know his name?
If you act like this, who does he have left to trust?
He already said he distrusts us.
Listen. Whose side are you really on?
Why not quit prosecuting and defend soldiers in my place?
Am I wrong, Be Man?
No.
If you don't do your best in court, I will report you.
Gosh. She's way out of line.
Bossing me around when I'm way more senior.
Is she your team's newbie?
Yes.
She hasn't been with us for long. I hope you understand.
Why did you keep quiet?
You just let her chew me out.
Sometimes a good subordinate teaches a senior a lesson.
What? Was that comment for me?
I was talking about myself.
I'll see you in court.
Salute.
Why do you think Corporal Kim Han Yong shot you?
I'm sure he did it for his family.
His older brother is half dead.
He must've wanted to vent his fury.
I happened to be his target.
It's all on me.
If only I'd gotten him...
out of the minefield unscathed...
I'll ask you a sensitive question.
The incident left you disabled.
Do you not regret entering the minefield?
Regret it?
I regret it with all my heart.
I regret failing the mission.
But I can say for sure that I do not regret...
entering the minefield.
Can I take a break?
Thank you very much, sir.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
- Thank you. - Stay strong.
- Cheer up. - Goodbye.
I wish you well. Thank you.
Bye. Thank you.
As you know, Captain,
this case...
is at the center of attention.
As it's at the center of attention,
I will investigate it even more thoroughly.
Okay.
Why on earth did that punk shoot me?
Did you find out?
Why do you think he shot you?
Not what you said to the reporters.
How would I know?
I saved his brother's life,
and he repaid me with a bullet.
Do you wish him to be let off leniently?
"Leniently"?
I'd like to consider that when I ask for a sentence.
If you write a petition for...
Can you say that after seeing my leg?
You're a soldier yourself!
Whether he shot a live bullet or a blank,
the punk shot a senior officer!
This is a huge crime verging on treason!
Kim Han Yong deserves to be shot by a firing squad.
Do you understand?
Selling classified military intel...
is a serious act of treason! He has sold the nation!
Chairman Cha Ho Cheol...
deserves to be shot by a firing squad.
You need not worry.
Just as you wish,
this case will become an example.
I will see to it myself.
Good.
I will see you in court.
Okay. Do your job.
Oh, dear.
Excuse me.
How is he?
He was treated relatively soon, so his life isn't in danger.
The CT shows...
a shard of a mine lodged in his brain.
We didn't take it out.
Operating to remove it could cause worse damage.
He was lucky.
Would you call this luck?
The brothers were close.
Their parents died when they were young,
and he was the corporal's only friend and father figure.
Keeping familiar objects close.
It's one way to help with delirium.
His wrists and ankles are secured, but he keeps trying to escape.
His brain must be damaged.
He doesn't recognize anyone,
and he just keeps saying he must go somewhere.
He can't enjoy a normal life now.
(Late Cha Ho Cheol)
(Late Cha Ho Cheol)
I don't mean to side with Kim Han Yong,
but I think...
I'd lose my mind if my only family ended up like this.
Why didn't you tell me the division commander came by?
I didn't because I knew you'd react just like this.
She just came to encourage us, so you don't have to worry.
Are you sure it was to encourage you?
You didn't do anything to upset her, did you?
As far as I'm aware, no.
Then why does she want to see us?
She told me to severely punish No Tae Nam.
Okay. No, wait, "severely punish"?
Severely punish her son?
She's really something.
She's a scary woman... Mom.
Her and Cha Woo In both. Female soldiers are more cutthroat.
I bet even their blood is cold.
I never thought I'd be sandwiched between two scary women.
Not to mention the fool who shot at the Mine Hero.
I can't relax for a day at this job.
Not that again.
Come on.
- Salute! - Salute!
At ease.
That's a list of corrupt army suppliers...
my predecessor didn't take care of.
Report civilians to the authorities,
and thoroughly investigate the soldiers involved...
and imprison them or strip them of their uniforms.
Show me what you can do, Staff Judge Advocate Seo.
I will work as if I'm cutting out rotting flesh to save our army!
Captain Do Be Man.
Captain Do Be Man.
We have somewhere to go. Follow me.
(Myeongse Construction)
(Myeongse Construction Area Plan)
May I ask why we're here?
What are you talking about?
She's here.
You will have heard of the 4th Infantry Division's stance.
You can't do this.
We had the residents move away,
and now we just have to sell the land.
You can't scrap the hotel construction project.
City Hall has already approved this project.
This has all been discussed...
with the former division commander.
You can't go back on this decision.
What's funny is that this so-called agreement...
isn't in the form of any written document.
Captain Do.
Captain Do Be Man.
As a military prosecutor, state the legal issues...
regarding the construction of a hotel within a military area.
According to article 13...
of the Military Installation and Military Facilities Protection Act,
new construction of installations must be approved...
by the Minister of National Defense...
or the commander of the jurisdictional unit.
Fourth division's air defense camp...
that is in the vicinity is crucial...
when it comes to the defense of cities adjacent to Seoul.
A hotel with five separate buildings that are 172m in height?
That will enclose the air defense camp...
rendering it useless.
Being experts in the construction field...
must mean you're aware of this,
but two things are a priority when developing land.
Cultural assets and army bases.
The law doesn't show leniency to the ignorant.
Although I highly doubt that you didn't know.
Don't construct the hotel only to knock it down later.
The best course of action will be to redesign and replan.
Was the military prosecutor clear enough?
As long as I am in command, this is where my division stands.
Commander!
This will only put you in a tight spot.
Are you sure you can handle the outcome?
(Hotel complex with a skyline of 172m)
Did you just threaten me...
in the presence of a military prosecutor?
My apologies, commander.
Darn, this is complicated.
When will I ever get this done?
Salute.
(General Court for Armed Force)
Salute.
- Cha Woo In. - Yes?
Show me your nails.
- Sorry? - I hear that...
there are female soldiers who not only wear makeup...
but also paint their nails like civilians!
Now, show me your nails.
See what I mean?
Peach-colored nail polish!
Oh, it's not.
You always manage to dodge the bullet, don't you?
Consider yourself lucky.
Sir, do you still only see me as a "female" soldier?
I am dutifully serving the army...
and have been doing good work as a military prosecutor.
Being the subject of random inspections...
just because I'm a woman is unjust.
Why must female soldiers prove...
that they are not unlike male soldiers?
Well, that is... I mean...
Unfair and unjust? This wasn't a random inspection.
This isn't a matter of discrimination.
I meant to say that male soldiers can also wear nail polish...
Darn those female soldiers. They're terrifying!
This is exactly why I never got married.
Why is there so much of this?
When will I get through with all these papers?
You responded promptly despite having no prior information.
I'm impressed, Captain Do.
(Do Be Man)
Are you pulling the stops...
on all the projects conducted by the former division commander?
Do I seem like someone who took this position...
only to clean someone else's mess?
No, ma'am. And I didn't mean it that way.
War isn't a concept that breathes in their minds.
It's why they're looking to build hotels around the army base...
not caring that their high buildings...
will lead to aircraft being deviated.
How is Colonel Won Ki Choon's trial coming along?
Cha Woo In is looking into...
why Kim Han Yong grabbed the loaded gun.
Why he grabbed the gun?
One cannot impose a proper sentence...
without knowing why the incident took place.
Military prosecutors are siding with the assailant...
while trying to figure out what happened?
Prosecutors do not take sides,
even if it's a superior's.
This is a case where a mere soldier...
fired a gun to harm a commanding officer.
Rebellion against rank...
is the most heinous act that could destroy the army.
It will never be tolerated within my division.
But now I hear you're looking into why he did it.
Did you ask me to accompany you today...
so that you could interfere with our investigation?
Choose your words carefully, Captain Do.
It's true that Kim Han Yong attacked a senior officer,
but getting to the bottom of why this happened...
is more important on our end.
Then I'll keep my eyes on you and watch how you settle this case.
(The Military Pulls the Plug in the Hotel Construction!)
(Myeongse Hotel's new project with the city and...)
(the Ministry of National Defense fell through.)
(The Military Pulls the Plug in the Hotel Construction!)
How dare you show your face!
(The Military Pulls the Plug in the Hotel Construction!)
I apologize, Minister Lee.
I should've notified you.
Am I to understand that this was your doing?
I am aware that you received money...
through the former division commander.
It's why I severed ties.
You severed ties?
There's a sting in your words.
What made you the minister...
will end up as the stake through your heart.
What did you just say?
Are you trying to walk over me?
Please know that I made a careful decision...
that would appease your anger brought on by my son.
I will do everything in my power...
to be the shield you need.
So you're like Nongae who threw herself in the river...
with her arms tight around the pig of the enemy general?
The fourth division...
will soon be arresting...
those in league with defense contractors.
A huge cleanup within the army that no one was able to achieve.
You will be the one to spearhead it.
Nothing scared me during my days in the military.
But politics is a different game.
It's like you said. I can't tell who's aiming at me...
which prompts fear.
I will protect you, Minister Lee.
Up until this day, I have been following the path you paved.
It is now my turn...
to pave the way for you.
Never do I abandon my people.
You know that, right?
Won Ki Choon.
A man who's hardly a proper soldier...
will be given a service medal that I never got to receive.
They say that political parties are awaiting his retirement.
What has the world come to?
I will relay the message to Colonel Won.
He will be delighted.
We both know he's the type to let his men die in battle...
while he takes cover.
So a man like that...
heading into a minefield to save a subordinate?
A dog would bark at that.
Who knew, right?
Never do I abandon my people.
You know that, right?
I doubt he can abandon someone...
who has already been abandoned once.
- Salute. - Salute.
What is it?
The division commander wishes to see you.
I'm sure that he figured something out.
Pardon? To whom do you refer?
Kim Han Yong. The punk who shot you.
I don't know how he found out,
but he clearly knows something.
What...
do you mean?
Did you forget because you were enjoying playing the hero?
I'm talking about you shooting his brother, you idiot!
The trial will begin soon.
If the truth gets out, your image as a hero will be gone.
Please help me.
I'll kill you.
Just give your command.
I'll do absolutely anything.
Good.
You must do anything.
(Chief Executive Officer Yong Moon Gu)
(Chairman Cha Ho Cheol)
The investigators will be coming soon.
You should leave,
so your employees don't see you being disgraced.
I'll do that much for you.
Yong Moon Gu.
I committed none of the crimes that you claim I did.
Why are you framing me?
(My daughter)
What do you gain by destroying my company?
All of this was ordered...
by No Hwa Young, wasn't it?
Take him out the back.
Cha Ho Cheol, come with us.
Darn you.
(Chief Executive Officer Yong Moon Gu)
After Cha Ho Cheol and No Tae Nam,
I'm the third person to occupy this office.
I may be a figurehead right now,
but IM Defense...
will be mine very soon.
What do you gain by destroying my company?
All of this was ordered...
by No Hwa Young, wasn't it?
One, two.
One, two.
Okay. Strike.
Dad!
Don't let your guard down.
You never know when or how someone will attack.
Wow. You're so different from other dads.
Okay. Again.
One, two.
I was the one who got hit this time.
Gosh.
You can be a professional boxer.
Should I quit law school?
It's all fighting, when it comes down to it.
Seriously. Why would you quit?
Gosh.
I have something to show you.
Did you catch a fish?
It's a big fish. So big that the fishing rod may snap.
You know I can't handle being curious.
Bring it to our office now.
Yes, sir.
Are you insane?
A military prosecutor set up a secret camera?
I can't believe that I became the target.
It was all my fault.
Even if you're blinded by your desire for revenge.
Why don't you watch it first?
What for? It's illegal evidence we can't use in court.
You got me all excited for nothing.
Forget it then, don't watch.
It's my trial anyway.
You need to lose that habit.
I'll...
What the...
This was taken just before he was discharged.
He had been acting all this time.
Let's prosecute Commander Won Ki Choon right away...
and reinvestigate the mine incident.
- We can't do that. - Why not?
If we do, he'll make preparations.
I will attack him while he has his guard down,
playing the hero.
It's powerful evidence to destroy his fake story...
about the minefield.
That healthy leg.

Let me send you some pictures before I die.
Take a look first.
(Do Be Man)
(Defense Attorney)
You were late to Kim Han Yong's interrogation...
because you were golfing right?
How many trials did you skip to go golfing?
You often took bribes and got paid for work you never performed.
You remember that I uncovered the special treatment...
Gusan Bank's president's son received, right?
Special treatment received by a military attorney may be next.
Should I do it or not?
What do you want from me?
Wow.
You got the point right away.
You will now say what I say, word for word.
- What? - Be my puppet.
I'll turn you into a celebrity attorney.
Darn it.
Wireless earphones are taped under your desk.
Pair them with your phone.

When will you end the call?
Aren't you here to work?

I am.

The witness saved the company commander,
the older brother of Corporal Kim Han Yong.
The witness saved the company commander,
the older brother of Corporal Kim Han Yong.
But there's reason to believe the heroic story is not true.
Your Honor, that has nothing to do with this case.
It's an important issue explaining the corporal's motivation.
What nonsense have you been listening to?
(Won Ki Choon)
That is not true.
The witness shall keep quiet.
What do you think, Captain?
I will not answer your question as it sounds like it's from a novel.
Oh, but for some reason, I'm just an attorney...
and I find it stranger with each second.
What do you mean?
This trial is at the center of the public's attention.
This trial is at the center of the public's attention.
What's just as important as the fact that the defendant shot a commander,
is that the suspicion...
surrounding the Mine Hero must be revealed, Your Honor!
Are you insulting the witness who risked his life...
to save another?
I am not.
During an investigation, if the prosecutor...
comes across evidence that favors the defendant...
During an investigation, if the prosecutor...
comes across evidence that favors the defendant,
for the defendant's benefit they must submit it in court.
So says the Supreme Court case 2001-DA-23447.
Shall I add one more thing?
The military prosecutor doesn't administer punishments,
nor do they defend to protect others.
As the guardian of the law in this military courthouse,
you just reveal the truth.
Prosecution. While preparing for this trial,
did you look into the witness?
(Won Ki Choon)
I did.
I believe the military is as its strongest when honest.
What do you think, Prosecutor?
I agree.
Then I will tell you...
what I know.
(Won Ki Choon)
Now it's your time to shine...
Cha Woo In.
(Weather for November 15)
It was foggy on the day of the mission,
which was not ideal for reconnaissance.
But Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon insisted...
it go on.
Listen, lady prosecutor.
Battles occur all of a sudden.
Do people not fight if it's rainy or foggy?
If you don't know what it's like in the DMZ,
keep your mouth shut.
That's what you say, but records show the other times...
the weather was bad, you canceled the missions.
(Witness Stand)
Here's the proof.
(Reconnaissance File)
Oh, wow.
He canceled the rest.
(Training not completed, Bad weather conditions)
This region fogs up often.
It becomes hard to tell people apart.
Whether the soldier ahead is friend, foe,
or even a wild deer becomes an issue.
If you shoot one of your own by mistake,
that becomes a bigger problem,
so reconnaissance missions are called off completely.
Will you still blame foggy battles?
(Won Ki Choon)
Why was that day an exception?
Why did you go on the mission?
There was no special reason.
The second question I have...
is why you entered the minefield.
(Won Ki Choon)
This is from the 4th Division's joint investigation report.
In the Korean War,
about two million landmines were scattered in the DMZ.
The DMZ has the highest density of landmines in the whole world.
This is why people must stay on designated paths.
(Witness Stand)
But the incident happened...
not on the path that was secured but in the minefield.
(Located 5m from the path)
Witness. Why did you veer off-course...
and into the minefield?
I can figure my way around even with my eyes closed.
If you'd stayed on the path, no mines would've gone off.
Not unless they have feet to walk around on.
(Witness Stand)
Here's my last question.
Witness. How did you...
get out of the minefield?
I said I crawled out.
You crawled out?
You carried a man weighing 80kg...
and crawled out of a minefield with mines that go off when touched?
Even though you lost a leg,
you put up with the pain to crawl out?
That's impossible.
He'd have collapsed.
You and these proceedings...
are mocking me, the Mine Hero!
Prosecutor, you will pay for this!
How dare you mention such nonsense in court!
(Won Ki Choon)
(Prosecutor)
(Prosecutor)
Who do they think I am?
How dare they mock me?
What's this?
What are you doing?
We will reopen the case regarding the DMZ Mine Explosion Incident.
- Arrest him. - Yes, sir.
How dare you? Let me go.
Don't you dare touch me!
The prosecution has crucial proof.
Come with us quietly.
We will not show you any more grace.
What? Proof?
Bring it to me. Let me see it!
May I show it right here?
I will now show you proof that...
the military hero staged everything.
You punk. How far will you go?
Do you think you'll get away with this?
It's a real prosthetic leg.
What's that?
- It's real. - He really was hurt.
My gosh.
You fool. Is this what you wanted to see?
Oh, dear.
General No's here.
(General Court for Armed Force)
(Military Prosecutor Doberman)
I will take full responsibility for what happened.
The Be Man I know wouldn't act unless he was certain.
- You know me. - Now, unofficially,
I will share clues.
I'll move not as a soldier but as a civilian.
From now on, you are my shadow.
The truth still remains buried.
Someone other than us is looking for the army surgeon.
I'm giving you one last opportunity.
We might be dealing with a monster far worse than we imagined.
