Captain Do, Captain Cha, you may enter.

(Special Disciplinary Committee)

Salute the commanding general.

Salute!



At ease.

(Head of Disciplinary Committee)

Brigadier General Hong Moo Sup.

He was the military prosecutor who handled your parents' case.

He played a big role in covering it up.

Who told you to sit?

Is this the right attitude for those at a disciplinary hearing?

(4th Corps)

We'll stand.

We'll begin by identifying those charged with misconduct.

Name and rank.

I am Captain Do Be Man,

a military judicial officer of the fourth division.

I am Captain Cha Woo In,



a military judicial officer of the fourth division.

Captain Do Be Man and Captain Cha Woo In.

Let us begin the disciplinary hearing...

regarding their misconduct.

Play the video.

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.

You fool. Is this what you wanted to see?

General No's here.

Salute!

The inquiry into the case will begin.

Why did you smash...

Commander Won Ki Choon's prosthetic leg?

While looking into the shooting committed by Corporal Kim Han Yong,

we came across doubts regarding Commander Won.

What were these so-called doubts?

We came to the conclusion...

that Commander Won was deceiving the army and the nation.

A deception?

You thought the mine explosion...

was a fabricated event?

Yes, sir.

On what grounds?

Your statement suggests...

that you only smashed his prosthetic leg...

because you believed it was fake.

Did you see that he had a perfectly good one?

No, sir.

No, sir.

Did a witness come forward?

No, sir.

Is this a joke to you?

The entire nation is screaming...

that the military prosecution disrespected a national hero.

You had no evidence or a witness for that matter,

so how could you have done something so utterly stupid?

I had a video, sir.

A video?

It came from an unreliable source that couldn't be verified, sir.

So your investigation was based on unreliable evidence?

Captain Do, are you admitting your mistake?

We should've verified the source and the authenticity of the evidence.

It was neglectful of me.

From what I gather, Captain Cha took the lead in this case.

Captain Cha only recently joined the office.

She prepared for this trial under my purview.

As the superior officer,

I take...

full responsibility.

Division Commander No,

do you have anything to say as their immediate supervisor?

These two military prosecutors...

disrespected the law and the army's hierarchy.

Their reckless investigation...

humiliated the senior officer who was in court as a victim.

The only way to restore Commander Won's honor...

would be to punish them...

in a way that would set a clear example.

We will take a ten-minute recess...

and continue with the vote regarding their punishment.

Do you know what annoys me the most?

Being humiliated in the courthouse...

and being reprimanded as a result of it?

No.

It's the fact that I chased you blindly down the rabbit hole.

I can't stand how pathetic I seem right now.

The video being fabricated never crossed my mind.

I apologize.

The disciplinary committee has come to a decision.

The officers in question...

abused their authority, failed to properly observe the law,

failed to act in good faith,

and violated the rules of misconduct.

The committee agrees that such violation was committed.

According to article 57...

of the Military Personnel Management Act...

and article two of its enforcement act,

disciplinary measures will be taken.

The officers will be punished as follows.

Captain Do, three-month suspension from office.

Captain Cha, ten-day probation.

That is all.

(Officers in Question)

A three-month suspension...

is the longest suspension period that can be given.

And Captain Cha received probation...

which means she is forced to stay in place.

She can't leave the military base.

A military prosecutor who can't leave the base?

That means she can't be in court.

What about the pending investigations?

The instructions are clear.

She is to step away from the current cases we have.

Are you voicing your concern for her?

She only got lucky because Be Man took the fall.

I apologize, sir.

I'm curious though.

Captain Do has been suspended,

and Captain Cha is temporarily excluded from the office.

So what about the cases we have stacked here?

Who will take care of them?

As if you need to ask.

Leave them all to me.

Sorry? Oh, right.

Are you saying you'll take on the cases yourself?

That's right. I'll use this opportunity...

to tighten the discipline within this office.

Which cases was Cha Woo In working on?

Corporal Kim Han Yong's shooting...

and No Tae Nam's desertion.

They will stand trial on the same day.

Sounds good.

Bring the related files to my office.

Sorry? Oh, of course.

Let me say this once again.

Don't you dare...

mention the M in mine in this office again.

Anyone who does won't see the light of day!

Kiss sunlight goodbye.

My head's spinning.

That started with an M.

- Are you kidding me? - Sir!

It's powerful evidence to destroy his fake story...

about the minefield.

That healthy leg.

These two military prosecutors...

disrespected the law and the army's hierarchy.

Their reckless investigation...

humiliated the senior officer who was in court as a victim.

There has never been a peaceful day in this office...

ever since you came along.

You're off every case until Be Man returns!

Understood?

It's the fact that I chased you blindly down the rabbit hole.

I can't stand how pathetic I seem right now.

The military command unit that had called a disciplinary hearing...

announced that they had issued the military prosecutors...

a severe punishment for what occurred during the trial.

Political parties are trying to scout Won Ki Choon,

the Reconnaissance Unit commander set to receive honorable discharge.

They have been visiting him and showing him...

a lot of attention.

Everyone, not only the political world,

is waiting to see which side the hero joins.

I heard the news. You're suspended for three months.

I'm sure you're not here to console me.

Why are you here?

If you worked for me, you wouldn't have been disciplined.

I would've taken care of it ahead of time.

Are you here to make sure I'm disappointed?

The Do Be Man that I know...

would never break a man's prosthesis unless he had conviction.

Why did you do it?

You're quite direct with your spying.

Did Division Commander No Hwa Young send you?

I haven't heard anything from her about this matter.

You'll find out from me what you couldn't get from her?

You're so jaded.

But then again, you must be in a bad mood after being disciplined.

I feel bad for you, but thanks to that,

Chairman No's trial for going AWOL will become easier.

The prosecutor was switched from Cha Woo In to Seo Joo Hyeok.

Even if you had taken care of it, it couldn't have ended up better.

That proverb that you can't break a rock with an egg...

is pure wisdom the more I think about it.

Don't you agree?

(Military Prosecutor Captain Do Be Man)

(Do Be Man)

He only just came back after canceling his discharge.

What a mess.

Why do things keep getting messed up in our office?

Serve the staff judge advocate well while I'm gone.

Don't fight, okay?

You can't come onto the base...

and Captain Cha can't leave the base.

Later.

Ma'am.

What are they, Romeo and Juliet?

It's like they're trying to keep them apart.

Seriously.

We ended up giving Won Ki Choon pity votes now.

Looks like he'll be an assemblyman upon discharge.

And we can't finish off...

No Tae Nam ourselves.

Why did you say you'd take full responsibility?

I was the one who made the mistake.

I know, right?

So this is what it feels like to be disciplined.

It feels like crap.

Why did I take the fall alone?

What's the use if both of us get our hands tied?

Pardon?

We need to do something, anything, while you're in here...

and I'm out there.

We've failed. We haven't given up.

I will not give up on the mine case either.

Plus, there's that promise I made you.

You said you'd finish it in 90 days.

That's right.

I can't take three months off.

We need to close out the mine case.

Both of us have been stripped of our titles.

We can't do anything officially.

It's not like we must act officially in life...

or in an investigation.

It's not like I follow orders.

Don't you know me?

Call me.

I'm no longer a prosecutor or a soldier.

I'll act as a civilian.

The fact that you can't investigate officially...

means you can't stand out.

Naturally.

I need to look like a bland, well-behaved civilian.

That's why I came here.

But don't you think this fabric stands out too much?

Clothes really do make the man.

I don't look like a military prosecutor. It's perfect.

You're so sweet. Good job.

Let's go back to the starting line and get Kim Han Yong's statement.

I'll send him through Sang Ki after the trial today.

(Cha Woo In)

Sir. It's time to head out to the trial.

I've had it dry-cleaned and ironed.

How many years has it been since you've been in the courtroom?

A veteran never dies.

He simply disappears briefly and reappears again.

What a great saying.

My heart feels warm just hearing it.

- Really? - Yes, sir.

Gosh.

I'll share leads and whatever I can with you unofficially.

I will take that information and do what I can out here.

Okay?

I'm on my way there now.

I'll see you at the trial.

Yong Moon Gu, IM Defense's CEO.

Get lost or I'll call security.

When Chairman No Tae Nam tried to flee the country,

I got him the funds myself.

I've got something to talk to you about, so meet with me, will you?

Hey!

What's this? Did he just ignore me?

Yes, he did.

What?

When you were a prosecutor or a lawyer,

you can look dignified just walking up and down the courthouse stairs,

but you're the owner of a huge company now.

You shouldn't get your hands dirty for every little thing.

Even difficult things...

go super smoothly if I handle them.

I only work with the top one percent.

You helped Chairman No flee the country?

That's not all.

I duked it out with that jerk Be Man.

So you know Be Man as well.

What good timing.

I'll dedicate my life and soul...

to making sure you never get even a single speck of dust...

on your precious hands.

Are we going to catch Do Be Man now?

When I think about how he dishonored me that day,

I get too angry to sleep at night.

It's so true that everything has a use,

even a piece of turd.

What do you mean?

Thanks to Be Man,

we had a fast pass straight to the CEO!

We've made it!

Are we going to catch him or not?

Seriously. You're so annoying. Can't you read the room?

Hey, North Korean Soldier Boy.

If you want to work in the south,

you need to learn patience. Okay?

No pain, no gain.

Let's go eat!

- Yes! - Yes!

Let's go.

As the highest-ranking officer of the military prosecutors' office,

I apologize profusely to Commander Won Ki Choon...

for what you had to suffer...

due to the debacle that occurred here two weeks ago.

(Won Ki Choon)

Prosecutor. Only make statements relevant to the trial.

Yes, your honor.

(In session)

Kim Han Yong. Have you repented?

Have you repented?

Have you repented?

I apologize for the trouble I've caused.

I'm repenting deeply.

See, Your Honor?

See, Your Honor?

He says he deeply regrets what he did.

Even as he's about to be sentenced, defendant Kim Han Yong...

shamelessly stands his ground!

The defendant may have deserted,

but he was out only for a very short period of time.

It is not at all important that Kim Han Yong shot a blank.

His personal details were leaked once before.

There can be no counterargument to this case!

He challenged a superior officer!

That caused him to act irrationally.

It was a mutiny!

I request you hand down a lenient sentence.

He deserves a serious sentence that befits his crime, Your Honor!

Defendant Kim Han Yong.

Defendant No Tae Nam.

- Sentenced to five years in prison. - Sentenced to one month in prison.

The sentence will be suspended.

It's fortunate you got off lightly.

I'm on probation.

Eventually, everything happens as Mother wants it to here.

I'm getting used to the place.

(Witness Stand, Defendant, Defense Attorney)

Mother.

Be glad that's all I'll do...

to charge you for the humiliation you caused me.

Tomorrow, you'll be sent to your base.

It's the one in my division that's closest to the north.

What?

Now you must show everyone that you are training harder...

and serving even harder than any other soldier.

I can't survive in the front lines.

I'm giving you one last opportunity.

If you cause trouble again...

I will cut you off with no regret.

Whoever disobeys my command...

gets cut off, whoever that may be.

Whether he's my son or a subordinate. That goes for anyone.

Is it safe to send him to the front lines?

It's my call.

Right.

I'll watch him even after he's assigned.

About Reconnaissance Unit Commander Won Ki Choon.

Is there anything I must know?

What's the motivation behind that question?

Be Man wouldn't have smashed...

his prosthetic leg unless he was certain.

Let me be very clear. You are not to...

show any pointless interest in my division or subordinates.

(DMZ Mine Explosion Incident)

(Republic of Korea Army)

(4th General Court for Armed Force)

(Chief Executive Officer Yong Moon Gu)

It's been a while, Judge Advocate Oh.

Moon Gu, it's been a long time.

I should've called you.

I want to ask you something.

It sounds urgent. Ask away.

The reconnaissance unit commander's landmine accident.

You were the initial investigator, weren't you?

That's right. Our division launched a joint investigation.

Did you notice anything odd?

Not really.

I knew Kim Han Yong would cause trouble.

Were there signs before he shot the commander?

Don't even mention it.

Oh, dear. My bad.

What's the matter?

I forgot a few documents we need for the prisoner's transfer.

Section Chief Ahn!

You've been on the job...

long enough to know we need all the papers.

I apologize. I'll pop by our office real quick.

Be quick and turn the car around.

You have no choice but to come with us.

(Staff Only, Security Surveillance)

Stay here quietly.

Why was there a different prosecutor today?

You acted like you understood last time.

I was disciplined.

This is your last chance.

I was sentenced today.

What good is this now?

The truth still remains buried.

That's why you shot a gun.

You stole a gun...

and chose to shoot at a bookstore full of reporters.

Until the last moment, you wondered whether to shoot...

a blank or a live round.

You thought of no one but your brother.

Not even yourself.

Would you get revenge and end it with a single bullet,

or reveal the truth about how your brother was wronged?

You weighed both options until the last moment.

You don't know anything about me.

I know you well.

Because like you, I also aimed a gun at someone.

There was someone I wanted to take out...

with a single bullet.

I'd killed that person many times in my mind.

But when I was faced with a chance,

I couldn't shoot.

My hatred was too great to end it just like that.

It felt as if a bullet that weighs...

less than two grams would wash away what that person had done.

That's how you felt.

That's why you loaded a blank in the chamber.

You could've killed the commander,

but your hatred outweighed the bullet.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

- I just... - It was...

my brother's CT scan.

His CT scan?

This is your brother's CT scan.

Do you see these small things here?

They're shards of a landmine.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

They're lodged in his head.

It's a miracle he's still alive.

My brother hurt his head badly in a car crash as a child.

That's when we found out he was born with an oddly-shaped brain.

I saw it as a child, but I clearly remember it.

But the CT scan the army surgeon showed me...

Wasn't your brother's.

Correct. That's when I got suspicious.

The last blow was...

What did the note say?

That Won Ki Choon hadn't saved my brother.

It said he had shot him.

Won Ki Choon...

shot a gun?

(The unit commander didn't save the company commander.)

(He shot him.)

That must be it.

Woo In said she got Kim Han Yong's statement.

Kim Han Yong took the note and CT scan and requested...

(The unit commander didn't save the company commander. He shot him.)

that the Army Joint Investigation Unit reinvestigate the case,

but he was turned down numerous times.

It's why he was hesitant to tell us...

since we're military prosecutors.

(Mulmangcho Cafe)

I don't trust prosecutors in this country either,

so I fully understand.

You used to be rotten to the core yourself,

so you'd be able to relate.

The only prosecutor I trust...

is Woo In.

When it comes to the note though, we only have Kim Han Yong's word.

It's day one of your suspension, and you're already off your game.

The note and the CT scans are sending the same signal.

If the army surgeon did indeed swap out the CT scans,

the note suggests a good enough chance...

of there being a bullet in the victim's head.

You sure are talkative.

(The unit commander didn't save the company commander. He shot him.)

(Armed Forces Capital Hospital)

I'm at the Armed Forces Capital Hospital.

I looked into army surgeon Cho Soo Chan...

and found a link between him and Won Ki Choon.

Is that so?

Cho Soo Chan was Won Ki Choon's doctor.

I knew it.

This case might be easily solved if we get the army surgeon to flip.

Salute.

You don't have the authority to arrest him,

so how are you going to question him?

Gently, of course. I'll be a perfect gentleman.

Inconspicuously and under-the-radar.

I'll keep it quiet.

(Armed Forces Capital Hospital)

Are you saying the shooting wasn't a random act?

You have no idea.

He wouldn't leave me alone...

about his brother's CT scans being swapped.

Kim Han Yong was suspicious...

of the army surgeon?

(Ward 21)

I'm a family member of a soldier who was treated by this doctor.

Where can I find him?

That's Cho Soo Chan.

I'm afraid he took an extended leave.

He just left with his things.

- Just now? - Yes.

(Ward 21)

(Armed Forces Capital Hospital)

Darn it.

(Stairs)

(No smoking: Armed Forces Capital Hospital)

Darn it. Hey!

(52J 3467)

(Seol Ak)

Yes, Mr. Yong.

I have someone for you to hunt down.

The number is 3467.

Did you say 3467?

It's a plate number. Get moving!

Job accepted.

- Ji Ri. - Yes?

- Find 3467. - Plate number 3467?

- Move out! - Move out!

Excuse me.

- What did I tell you? - Can you believe it?

Excuse me.

Where can I find army surgeon Cho Soo Chan?

I'd like to speak to him, you see.

He's in high demand today.

Is that so?

Who else came by to see him?

I'm not sure.

He said he was a family member of a soldier Dr. Cho treated.

His office is at the end of the hall.

I see. Thank you.

I'll see you around.

Did you see how handsome he is?

(Medical Support)

What on earth is going on?

- Please evacuate. - Sure.

Everyone, evacuate!

- What's going on? - What's happening?

- This way, please. - This way.

- Hurry. - Get moving.

Hurry!

Hurry, everyone.

Out of the way.

I have bad news and worse news. Which do you want first?

Is that a fire alarm ringing?

So much for a quiet conversation.

The bad news would be you not finding the surgeon.

What's the worse news?

Someone other than us is looking for him.

There's another party digging into the mine incident?

They could be digging into it or burying it deeper.

Only one thing is for certain.

It's a fact that we have unexpected competition.

Jeez. How grand.

What on earth? Why is No Tae Nam's dog here?

After arresting No Tae Nam at the airport,

Woo In brought the dog here.

I'm dog-sitting for her, but she can't leave the base...

which has put me in a pickle.

The poor thing is going through a lot.

Here. It's from Dr. Cho's computer.

See if there's anything useful.

You brought the whole thing?

As in stealing? Unbelievable.

What about the repercussions?

Just consider it an early search and seizure.

Won Ki Choon's arrest warrant will soon be issued.

This is the video from Won Ki Choon's hospital room.

Verify its authenticity.

I thought the suspension would've knocked you down.

Get working and call me when you're done.

Wait a second!

Look after him, will you?

I have a dog allergy and can't take another day of this.

What? How am I supposed to look after him?

He likes you.

A soldier suspended from his base and a dog who lost his owner.

You two have a lot in common.

I see a resemblance too. You two make a great duo.

Better than we ever did.

You've got this, Be Man.

So... Good luck!

Kang, wait. Hey, Kang Ha Jun!

A resemblance, my foot.

What am I supposed to do with him?

Stay, okay?

The military prosecutors...

who were called to a disciplinary hearing...

regarding the events of the Won Ki Choon case...

were severely punished.

The Ministry of National Defense...

What's with this dog?

Auntie.

I see you're home.

You're bringing in a stray after making this mess?

Oh, wait. He should be thirsty.

- Hold his leash for a second. - Hey!

- Don't let go. - But...

Seriously?

Wait a second. Why does he look familiar?

A Doberman.

Where do I know him from?

Let me see you.

Here's some water for you.

Over here. There you go.

You hardly show up when you're busy.

Is this a place for you to come only when you're suspended?

Come on.

Investigating the mine case...

had me running all over the place and...

I'm asking as a detective, so speak the truth.

Lie and you'll be in cuffs.

Know that I'm not joking.

This really hurts, Auntie.

That was you at Club Cartel, wasn't it?

That's where I saw the dog.

It's the one owned by No Tae Nam, isn't it?

The rat who fled during drinks with No Tae Nam.

It was you, wasn't it?

Auntie.

That's all in the past, you know.

The past?

So it was you.

That...

I was going to tell you the truth.

But there's something bigger that you should know first.

Something bigger? What would that be?

It's about Mom and Dad.

- What? - Where do I start?

Auntie, listen carefully...

Get out.

Get out right now!

Now, you're blaming your parents?

- That's not it. Hear me out... - Get out!

- Get out! Get lost! - Why won't you let me talk?

Don't come back!

Take that dog with you too!

Why are you yelling? You're scaring him.

I said to get out! Go!

I'm leaving. Darn it.

Let's go. Let's get out of here.

- Let's go. - And don't come back!

I'm leaving.

(DMZ Mine Explosion Incident)

(The commander didn't save the company commander, he shot him.)

It said Commander Won didn't save my brother,

he shot him.

Captain Cha.

I've sent the information regarding the soldiers who were there.

(Kim Jae Yong, Koo Hyun Suk, Kim Joon Hee)

Hello, Captain Do.

Ha Joon is searching for the army surgeon.

We'll get a lead soon.

I'm looking for possible people who could've sent him the note.

The decision on No Tae Nam's case came down.

Same for Kim Han Yong's case.

I know.

No Tae Nam got a slap on the wrist,

and is beginning his life in the military.

Not all plans actually go as planned after all.

No. Everything is going as I planned.

- Pardon? - You'll see.

I've placed an archenemy next to Tae Nam...

so that his life in the military will be full of excitement.

Gosh.

I'm Sergeant Ahn Soo Ho.

You're the infamous No Tae Nam, right?

We were in the same prison and are in the same unit now.

This must be fate. I hope we get along.

I guess you don't want to get along.

You must show everyone that you're a model soldier...

for all to see.

This is your last chance.

It's nice to meet you,

(Ahn Soo Ho)

Sergeant Ahn Soo Ho.

That's right, Tae Nam. Speak comfortably.

The other soldiers will be here soon...

once they finish their guard duty.

Yes, sir.

Hey, you. Why aren't you responding?

You lazy slacker.

Yes, sir.

Watch it.

Is this the front line?

To be exact, it's the GOP.

We guard the truce line 24 hours a day.

We're different from regular units.

In what way?

We don't have a PX beyond FEBA's base.

We can't leave the base for anything and we don't have weekends off.

What do we have here then?

Live bullets and grenades?

Grenades?

What? Are you scared?

You need to control your temper while you're here.

Since we work with live bullets,

they beat you up and throw a grenade at you if they get angry.

How did you end up in the military prison?

Me?

Want to know?

I'll tell you over time.

- The newbies are here. - They're here.

We got two.

- Look at this kid. - Look at his eyes.

How scary. Are you No Tae Nam?

(Taeyoung Gameland)

Nice!

Did you win?

- Are you lucky today? - Who are you?

You must've done all sorts of stuff...

to make money to waste here.

For example, swapping out CT scans?

Darn it.

Be Man!

You must be desperate since you're on suspension,

coming to steal from someone who won money.

Why are you people doing this to me?

Are you with them?

No.

Why are you interested in him?

How could a summer insect speak about the winter?

It's none of your business.

Because the summer insect never experienced winter.

Isn't that right?

Nice. You're intelligent!

Someone else gave the order to bring the army surgeon.

And you're a brainless insect that acts without thinking?

- An insect? - Yes.

Hey, Be Man. Someone else's life is always history.

I use my brain to live my life!

- Come with me. - Hands off. He's mine.

Let go, you jerk. Come here.

Let go! Darn it!

Get over here!

Why you...

Calm down. You jerk!

You jerk!

Darn it.

Darn it!

Why you...

Hey, you.

I finally get to put what happened last time to bed.

I'm so sick of you.

You little brat.

You're cute, on a second look.

Excuse me.

Was he the one who asked for the army surgeon?

Oh my gosh. You're the one who came last time.

Are you all right?

Was it him?

No, it wasn't. You need to be treated...

No. Are you sure you're not confused? It must be him.

How could I confuse him with this thug?

He was a totally sweet gentleman.

Then was it...

him?

That's right. It was him.

Are you sure?

Of course.

Okay. Thank you.

Yong Moon Gu got to the army surgeon?

- Then No Hwa Young... - No.

He knew nothing about the Won Ki Choon case.

The Do Be Man that I know...

would never break a man's prosthesis unless he had conviction.

Why did you do it?

If he had been following No Hwa Young's orders,

he wouldn't have had to do anything himself.

Yong Moon Gu's acting on his own without No Hwa Young's order?

He wants to know about...

the Mine Hero's case as much as we do.

What should we do now without the army surgeon?

I'll give you something better.

Did you find who out left the note?

I'll text you the address.

(Security Surveillance)

Bye.

Salute.

We warmed him up prior to your arrival.

He's ready to tell you whatever you ask.

Not bad.

From now on, you are my shadow.

You exist but are not to be seen.

I'm not to be seen.

I like that a lot.

It sounds to me that you'll take care of everything.

You swapped the company commander's CT scan...

because something had to be kept hidden.

The thing in his head...

is a bullet, not the shards of a mine.

Yes. That's right.

Was it Won Ki Choon's order?

Yes.

Not someone higher up?

No.

It was the Reconnaissance Unit Commander's order.

Are you sure it's not someone other than Won Ki Choon?

Yes.

Then now, we'll get to the point.

What?

Tell me about Won Ki Choon's leg.

Okay.

(Snacks for Tonight)

Gosh, it's cold.

I'm starving.

You're Sergeant Koo Hyun Suk with the 4th Reconnaissance Unit, right?

It's cold. Did you get lots of calls?

Who are you?

You left the note in the company commander's room, didn't you?

I asked who you are!

Me?

The military prosecutor who was on Kim Han Yong's case.

I asked if you left the note.

I did not.

"I did not"?

Shouldn't the right answer be "What note are you talking about?"

If it really wasn't you.

You just admitted you know what note I mean.

Didn't you?

Don't bug me.

I had nothing to do with any note.

The day you left the note was the day you were released.

What a strange coincidence, don't you think?

It was in your handwriting too.

Why? Were you too afraid while you were in uniform?

Or was it...

your trivial attempt to alleviate your guilt?

So, did you get rid of any of...

that guilt?

Keep your mouth shut! I'm a civilian now!

You have no right to do this to me.

I want nothing to do with that nasty place again.

The note you left triggered Han Yong.

He read your note and shot Won Ki Choon.

He just got five years.

Five years?

Why did you leave the note?

Now what will you do about the guilt that Han Yong will go to prison?

You said he was sentenced.

- Isn't it over, then? - No.

(Snacks for Tonight)

I'll start over.

You were the company commander's right-hand man.

The army was a nasty place, but you couldn't turn a blind eye.

You're all the company commander has left.

Tell me the truth you know.

It was so foggy that day.

We could barely see ahead.

Halt. Break for five.

Break for five.

- Break for five. - Break for five.

During the mission,

Unit Commander Won Ki Choon...

briefly left us to take a leak.

That's when a deer appeared.

Hey. Isn't that a deer?

- It looks like a deer. - What?

Didn't our commander go that way?

He did.

That's a minefield.

What if the deer steps on a mine?

Hey. You guys stay here.

Stay alert.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

(Military Police)

I'll go with you, sir.

Stay back.

(Military Police)

Who's there?

Company Commander?

Shoot.

Darn it.

Who's there?

Say your name and rank or I'll shoot.

(Military Police)

Sir.

Sir.

Sir!

Company Commander!

If the case is reopened and goes to court,

I'll testify.

See you in court.

(Snacks for Tonight)

If Sergeant Koo told the truth, Won Ki Choon mistakenly shot...

the company commander,

and to cover it up,

they turned him into the Mine Hero.

And No Hwa Young was involved?

Why go that far when they could've...

punished Won Ki Choon?

If someone's shot in the DMZ,

it doesn't end with Won Ki Choon.

It happened as soon as she became...

the division commander she'd dreamed of becoming.

And right after that, her son deserted.

So they faked what happened and turned Won into the Mine Hero.

Hang on. What about this, then?

I ran it through software and the video wasn't tampered with.

The National Forensic Service will say the same thing.

Sergeant Koo's statement supports it.

Won Ki Choon didn't hurt his leg that day.

Then why did he lose a leg?

I think...

he had it amputated before the trial.

That is the only explanation.

What?

He had his leg amputated?

We may be in a fight...

with a monster that is more vicious than we imagined.

Chairman No got settled into his base.

We should be on high alert.

Whether it's with Tae Nam or IM Defense.

Your job, Mr. Yong,

is to prevent disasters from happening.

I came across new information...

regarding Colonel Won's mine incident.

Didn't I tell you...

not to stick your head into business...

that concerns my division or subordinates?

Was my warning not clear enough?

It's like you just said.

I'm trying to stop a disaster from happening.

As IM Defense's new CEO...

and as your legal representative.

So tell me. What did you find out?

The real hero behind the story...

wasn't Won Ki Choon. It was you.

An accidental firing in the DMZ area.

If people were to find out,

you would've had to step down from division commander...

seconds after your inauguration ceremony.

Chairman No's trial also had you in a corner.

And that's why I made Won Ki Choon a war hero?

I applaud your imagination.

That's something I'm most certain about.

What intrigues me is something else.

Won Ki Choon's leg.

I need your help, commander.

Please lay out your order.

I will do anything you order me to do.

That's right. You will do whatever's necessary.

Aide Yang.

Commander, what is this?

- Colonel Won. - Yes, commander.

You could be remembered...

as the soldier who shot his subordinate...

or a war hero who is forever worshiped.

I will do anything you ask of me.

Then stay a hero...

for my sake.

You may have lost a leg, but you gained the world.

There's no need to pretend anymore...

now that you are a real hero.

After receiving an honorable discharge,

political parties will be fighting over...

who gets to take you to Congress.

The path you are no longer able to take?

Minister Lee and I will escort you along it.

It was cut off.

I cut it off.

(Military Prosecutor Doberman)

The bullet has to be removed from his brain...

which means we might have to expect the worst.

The soldiers who were on the minefield that day...

will speak the truth at a press conference.

What?

We must find the right kind of evidence...

that will shake No Hwa Young's world.

The press conference has been canceled!

- It has been canceled. - No, it hasn't!

Do Be Man, you crazy dog!

That's how far you will go.

Cross the line and your fate will take a wild turn.

This isn't a simple case of a staged military hero.

It is the beginning of a huge military scandal.
