(Do Be Man, Cha Woo In)
Let's begin.
State your name, rank, and division.
(9 days ago)
What intrigues me is something else.
Won Ki Choon's leg.
It was cut off.
I cut it off.
You did it in person?
I didn't think you'd get blood on your hands.
This is unexpected.
It was wrong of me to assume I knew you well.
I don't mind getting blood on my hands.
I can wash it off.
It's much better than letting things go wrong.
You should leave. I'm tired.
I have something important to report.
What is it?
It's about Cha Woo In's identity.
This will surprise you.
Will it?
She's Cha Ho Cheol's daughter.
Did you think I wouldn't know?
Since the day she became a military prosecutor...
I've been watching her and I bet she has no idea.
Why are you just leaving her alone?
I'm watching her.
It would look bad if I were to care about a captain.
Your son's trial and desertion, and Won Ki Choon too.
You keep getting dragged into things.
And Woo In's a military prosecutor who can charge any army personnel.
That goes for Be Man too.
Be Man used to work for me and cared only about money.
He changed completely since he met Woo In.
They must be connected somehow.
You must beware of those two.
I'm more worried about you.
You only just realized who Woo In is.
She's a spy in my vicinity, and you just identified her.
I now wonder if you can even run IM in my place.
You're excused.
Woo In prepared for many years to come before you.
You should not underestimate that.
Also, now...
you should address me as CEO Yong.
I no longer want to be called a lawyer.
You only just realized who Woo In is.
She's a spy in my vicinity, and you just identified her.
(Personnel Record: Cha Woo In)
Spy.
She thinks...
Cha Woo In is a spy.
(Personnel Record: Cha Woo In)
A monster beyond our imagination.
(Episode 9)
They say monsters and demons were created because...
people couldn't believe humans were capable of such evil.
If she had him cut off a perfectly fine leg...
No Hwa Young definitely is a monster.
To defeat a monster, we must move first.
Schedule a press conference for tomorrow.
A press conference?
I'll use Sergeant Gu's story to get the media fired up.
His statement is key,
but we also need proof that'll be a smoking gun.
Kim Han Yong's brother is getting brain surgery tomorrow.
Hold on a second.
I thought the fragments in his brain made the operation impossible.
But it was Dr. Cho Soo Chan who made that diagnosis.
The accomplice in the Mine Hero case.
I see. So you think he lied.
It's logical to think...
that he put off the surgery to keep the truth buried.
After all, he's the evil doctor who swapped out his patient's CT scans.
I have already booked the neurosurgeon...
who'll spearhead the operation.
Captain Do, you must meet with Kim Han Yong...
and get him to sign off on it.
Are you sure...
that my brother can be operated on?
It's an invasive surgery on the brain,
so we must expect the worst.
The decision is all yours.
I'm aware that it isn't an easy one.
You're wrong.
The decision is my brother's.
He always told me...
to be brave if the moment allowed it.
Although the chances are slim,
it still beats doing nothing.
That was why I chose to shoot my gun...
that day.
Did you talk to Kim Han Yong?
Yes.
Can we move forward with the surgery?
Rather than focusing on a one percent chance,
let's muster up one percent of courage.
Sorry?
It's what Kim Han Yong said.
Did he?
Who's behind Won Ki Choon's case...
must be revealed for his brother's sake.
Of course. It'll also be for Kim Han Yong...
who came to a tough decision.
We must collect evidence...
that will knock No Hwa Young back.
Cha, switch to video call for a second.
What? Why would we...
Is something up?
Come here.
Isn't that Bolt?
It is. I got stuck with him somehow.
Kang, that wimp.
I did feel bad about placing Bolt with him,
so it's nice to know he's in good hands.
What is it?
Well, Kim Han Yong's brother has his surgery tomorrow...
and Sergeant Gu will hold a press conference.
It'll be a big day for us.
We'll either turn the tables...
or be swallowed up by our plans.
It's judgment day.
Right.
I'll head to bed then.
Good night.
You too. Sweet...
She has no manners whatsoever.
Darn it.
Come on, Bolt. Let's go to bed.
Am I facing east? I'll sleep this way.
This way, Bolt. Good boy.
Bolt, come join me. No?
Okay, let's go. This is lame, isn't it?
Off you go, Bolt.
Come on in.
Seriously? This is breaking and entering.
You broke into the house of a detective!
Come on. This is where my aunt raised me,
so why would I spend my nights out on the streets?
Hold on. That's doenjang jjigae.
Grab this for a second.
- Hey. - Of course.
Nothing beats a good home-cooked meal.
Gosh, I'm famished.
Auntie, can you wipe his paws?
Seriously?
You spooked us both.
Delicious as always, Auntie.
I got lonely, you see.
We found a witness in Won Ki Choon's case.
He'll speak up at a press conference tomorrow.
But you were suspended. Are you sure about this?
It's why I'm fighting them head-on.
You know I'm a fighter.
One that doesn't give up until he wins.
Besides, I'm also a witness too.
The sole witness to my parents' accident.
Be Man,
that crash from 20 years back...
Do you really believe there's more to the case?
Yes.
I'm certain of it.
Once the search warrant for Won Ki Choon's residence is issued,
my fight will truly begin.
Your fight will begin?
(Armed Forces Capital Hospital)
Making him a mine hero was probably No Hwa Young's design,
but we have no proof of it.
All we have is circumstantial evidence.
It's why I'm on my way to interrogate him.
An interrogation within a hospital room.
If only I wasn't on probation.
Tread lightly since you're on your own today.
We can afford this to fail...
since our next goal is the real deal.
I'll turn the Mine Hero into an active mine.
One that'll explode when stepped on.
Darn it!
You scoundrel.
This is no place for a soldier on suspension!
I came to see how you were doing.
Oh, I forgot.
Salute.
It's already been months since the injury,
but you're still not used to the pain.
One might think it was only severed a few days ago.
What?
Goodness.
Rather than having a nurse do it,
you're giving yourself pain relievers.
You must have a lot to hide.
I get it though...
since you suddenly found yourself...
as the leading man in someone else's show.
You really had no choice.
However, the problem is this.
The elaborately designed show...
in which you only had to play a character...
suddenly became a devastating reality for you.
There's no need to pretend anymore...
now that you are a real hero.
That show you're in?
I'll put an end to it today.
What nonsense are you spewing? Get out of here!
Someone witnessed it all.
He saw you misfire your gun and shoot the company commander.
Identify yourself!
Company Commander?
Sergeant Gu will speak the truth at a press conference today.
The truth?
What do you think will happen if you take all the blame?
They'll think you cut off your own leg...
and fabricated a story to become a national hero.
Overnight,
you will go from a hero to a lunatic.
Your only fault...
was that you let yourself be a puppet.
This person cut off your leg.
This person is the mastermind and the main villain.
What you are is another victim.
You had no choice but to follow this person's lead.
So just tell me one piece of information.
Name, rank, or title.
If you do, I'll show you leniency with a plea bargain.
(Plea bargain: an agreement that allows a confession...)
(to be bargained for leniency)
No...
No...
No...
Haven't you heard of knocking?
Now, get out. Get lost!
Can you please leave?
Oh, dear. You missed out on an opportunity.
Commander Won Ki Choon of the Reconnaissance Unit.
I'll be back with an arrest warrant.
Salute.
(Ward 21 Nurse Station)
As expected,
No Hwa Young is the mastermind.
You suddenly found yourself...
as the leading man in someone else's show.
You really had no choice.
A show?
Do Be Man, you crazy dog!
As if I'd feel threatened by your words.
I'm a hero.
I'm a real hero!
(Won Ki Choon)
(Division Commander No Hwa Young)
This is the result of the investigation...
into military corruption that you requested.
Based on the investigation, there were sub-par products...
provided to our division, namely,
Which were...
Namely, 257 tactical uniforms and 419...
What does this say? Yes, 419 berets.
The products that were supplied to us...
were substandard.
The supply officer was apparently bribed...
by the vendor...
I'm in a meeting.
Commander. I think Be Man...
I think he knows everything.
There was a witness in the Reconnaissance Unit.
He's going to expose us for it all...
in front of reporters today.
If that gets out...
I'll die.
Let's talk later.
Commander!
He seems to have figured out...
that you cut off my leg.
Okay.
- Continue. - Yes, ma'am.
Furthermore, some of the food suppliers...
and the supply officers had special relationships...
Bring in...
every rat who gave money and every rat who took the money.
Let's finish the report another time.
- You're dismissed. - Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
Nice timing. Yes.
That phone call completely saved my life.
I thought I was dead for sure because I didn't have the documents.
Nice timing.
I can just wing it again today.
The clock keeps ticking even if you hang it upside down.
Yes.
Anyway, I wonder if something's wrong.
She seemed disturbed.
(Overnight Duty Room)
Anyway, what nice timing.
Darn it. I'm so sore.
With Be Man gone,
there's no one to give me a massage.
(Seo Joo Hyeok)
You're on probation, so sit at your desk. Why are you here?
Get out.
I have something to report about Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon.
Are you just itching because you're on probation?
I'm letting it slide because I'm in a good mood.
Why are you trying to make my life more miserable?
Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon is guilty of friendly fire.
(Seo Joo Hyeok)
Do you have a grudge against Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon?
The company commander was shot. He did not step on a mine.
Enough with your gibberish!
The reason for the friendly fire is more serious.
He bribed the military doctor,
and it was impossible without help from higher up.
What? Bribe? Help from higher up?
You're out of control.
Fine. I'll get you dishonorably discharged if you want.
Say the word. I'll kick you out right now!
You must issue a detention warrant for Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon.
What?
An arrest warrant? What?
Okay, fine.
I'll give you my decision as the Staff Judge Advocate.
Listen carefully.
Due to the lack of culpability based on the evidence presented,
there is no need for detention. Got that?
Sir.
Woo In. You are a textbook case.
If a prosecutor targets a culprit and investigates around him,
anyone can be found guilty.
That is why people have...
no respect for prosecutors.
You should talk. You won't even read my report.
You...
Get out of my face. Get lost!
Fine.
But I gave you a chance.
What? A chance?
In 30 minutes, a member of the Reconnaissance Unit...
who was there that day will be holding a press conference.
What?
Sergeant Gu Hyun Seok, the sole witness...
of Lieutenant Colonel Won's friendly fire,
will speak the truth in front of the entire nation.
(Snacks for Tonight)
Once the fact that the Mine Hero was a scam on the nation,
the public will be outraged,
and you'll take the fall alone for failing to investigate properly.
What? Why should I?
Because you refused the chance that I gave you without a thought.
You've always said to be a soldier over a prosecutor.
I am a soldier right now, not a prosecutor.
A soldier may snap, but we do not bend.
Hey, Woo In. Stop right there.
I'll tell you one last time.
Issue a detention warrant for Won Ki Choon...
and have me reinstated for duty.
And request the cancellation of Captain Do's disciplinary action.
Why do you have so many demands?
Decide. There isn't time.
Fine. I'll decide after the press conference.
Fine.
Darn it.
(Seo Joo Hyeok)
Hold on. What if I end up taking the fall for everything?
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
Make sure everything is ready.
(Press Conference)
What do you think they'll say?
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
There are many reporters. Can you handle it?
Yes, sir! I'll be there soon, sir!
Nice. You sound confident.
You're like a different person from yesterday.
I've decided to think only about the company commander today.
He should be in surgery now. I hope it goes well.
Darn it.
What's wrong? What's going on?
Darn it.
Bang.
It's the lieutenant colonel.
What do I do?
Don't hang up.
Okay.
Captain.
(Sergeant Gu)
Aren't we going to start? It's almost time.
I need to make a call. Be right back.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
(Sergeant Gu)
The person you have reached...
(Do Be Man)
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
The person you have reached...
The person you have reached...
I need to leave the base.
- Pardon? - I can't reach Captain Do.
I think there's a problem with the press conference.
So... Section Chief Yoon. Section Chief Ahn.
Can you please help me?
Your red-haired alter ego is heading out now, right?
You knew?
I flinch whenever I see a redhead now.
Don't worry. I wear that only when I'm hunting.
Hunting.
(4th Infantry Division)
What's wrong with you? She's coughing.
Sorry, sir. I hope your cold gets better soon, Section Chief Ahn.
Have a nice day.
- Thanks. - Let them through.
(4th Infantry Division)
- Nice job. - Nice.
Yes.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
- What a waste of time. - He'll be here soon.
It's obvious he changed his mind...
or went into hiding.
How can you have a press conference?
- Sir. - Let me leave!
Aren't you the military prosecutor who was disciplined?
How are we to believe you?
Sergeant Gu?
Where are you?
I told you not to take that road.
The traffic is horrendous there.
Go straight ahead for 50m...
and take the alley at your one o'clock...
What?
There's something bigger?
Mr. Prosecutor.
Where is he right now?
Hello?
Oh, come on. Not that...
Sit and wait. I'll go and get him.
Yes.
From where you are, turn right...
Sergeant Gu took a wrong turn.
But that's not the problem.
He has a bigger story.
- A bigger one? - Yes, bigger.
- What is it? - A scoop.
- Are you sure? - It's a scoop.
I'm sure, so sit back down.
(Detective Do Soo Kyung)
Cha, it's me.
Won Ki Choon got to Sergeant Gu.
So it was him.
I'm on my way there.
What? How did you find out?
No, forget that.
Our boss must be watching...
He's not watching you.
I'll go to Sergeant Gu while you...
No. I'll send Sergeant Gu to you safely. Text me his location.
You keep the reporters there.
That's an order.
It was a special order from the Mine Hero himself,
so I sent men who'd served in the special forces.
They'll assist you well.
Thank Mr. Yong for me.
You'll expose me?
I was your commander!
This is a revolt!
I'm no longer a soldier.
I don't serve you anymore!
I'll tell them everything.
I'll tell them everything I saw!
Do Be Man paid you, didn't he?
To tattle on me, didn't he?
You're disabled now. Don't waste your energy.
There are other ways to get to fools like him.
A video call to his family will make him come right around.
(Military Prosecutor Do Be Man)
You were on the phone?
He got a live feed of what was going on.
(Military Prosecutor Do Be Man)
This happens because they have unlimited call minutes.
If you know no fear,
we must use the final option.
Boys. Get to it.
What's this?
A girl?
She has a gun!
Get out of there.
He's getting away!
There's a car outside. Leave now.
- What? - Don't dawdle. Go straight there.
A crowd is waiting for you.
Shut the door behind you.
Stop!
- Boss, no! - Boss!
- Wait. - What's this?
- It's a BB gun? - What?
Ouch, that stings!
(Operating Room)
Sergeant Gu!
Are you okay?
Let's go.
You can leave if you're busy,
but if you do, you miss out on the scoop.
Who his Do Be Man?
Do you remember the pampered soldier scandal?
He's the goose that lays golden exclusives.
Leave now and you'll regret it forever.
Lady!
"Lady"?
Yes, you lady, standing there.
How much...
were you paid to do this?
You can't do this here.
You're busy people. You can all go.
The press conference has been canceled!
- No, it's not canceled! - It's canceled!
- Get going. - I get paid to do this?
I'm Detective Do Soo Kyung from Gangnam Police Station.
Your face... You're not a reporter, are you?
Let me see your ID.
Your face doesn't look that normal either.
What's a detective doing at a military press conference?
This case was already tried in a military court!
The prosecutor who smashed the prosthesis was disciplined!
Yes!
That military prosecutor is my nephew! Okay?
He's your nephew?
- Nice to meet you. - Wait and see.
My nephew...
will get to the bottom of this case.
Because he's like a Doberman!
See? Wasn't I right?
(Competent National Security, Trustworthy National Defense)
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
I was recently...
discharged from the 4th Division's Reconnaissance Unit.
My name is Gu Hyun Seok.
I'm here to reveal the truth...
about the Mine Hero...
Forget it.
You weren't even here on time.
How are we to believe someone who lacks even basic courtesy?
We can't write about this.
The mine incident happened ages ago.
Why are you stepping up now?
Do you have an ulterior motive?
Captain Do.
I was scared.
I was the only one who saw him get shot.
I was so scared.
Sir.
If I were to speak of what happened...
I was about to be discharged.
I thought I'd end up getting killed before I got to see my mom.
I told myself I just had to keep quiet.
That I'd leave behind what happened in the army.
Yes.
I kept quiet for my own sake.
But the person who should be disciplined became a hero,
and I couldn't forget the sight...
of my company commander after he'd been shot.
To shake off the guilt,
I left a note in his hospital room.
Also,
Prosecutor Do gave me courage.
Do you have proof to back up what you saw?
I'm Captain Do Be Man,
a prosecutor with the 4th Infantry.
I'll take it from here.
First, to answer your question, I will show you the proof.
A bullet?
This bullet was in the head of...
the Recon Unit's company commander.
- For real? - They got it out?
To my trained eye as a military prosecutor,
it's a bullet, not a mine shard.
I can confirm that.
The authenticity of the evidence...
will be officially reported after it is reviewed.
You should also know that the company commander's surgery...
was a success.
Once he recovers,
he will give a full statement as to what happened...
and will go back to his normal life.
What about the Mine Hero's leg?
Why does Commander Won Ki Choon...
not have his leg?
I've been waiting for that question.
Would he have cut off his own leg to become a mine hero...
or could there be someone else pulling the strings?
On his way over here, Sergeant Gu was taken by will...
and was threatened to keep the truth buried.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
Someone else is pulling the strings.
This isn't a simple case of a fabricated heroic tale,
but a peek into the scandal that is to come.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
Furthermore, I request this upon Commanding General Hong Moo Sup.
Please lift the suspension issued upon Captain Cha and me...
so that we can reinvestigate this case.
Salute.
(DMZ Mine Explosion Was Actually Friendly Fire from Won Ki Choon)
Salute.
Where did you crawl out from?
Don't come any closer?
Don't you dare come closer.
It was No Hwa Young, wasn't it?
She's the one who cut off your leg.
She was also the one...
who ordered you to commit perjury on the stand six years ago...
to drive Cha Ho Cheol out of IM Defense.
Who are you?
Who do you think I am?
Don't tell me...
you'll attack a cripple...
The next time we meet,
you'll learn...
who I really am.
This bullet was in the head of...
the Recon Unit's company commander.
To my trained eye as a military prosecutor,
it's a bullet, not a mine shard.
I can confirm that.
- Yes, Minister Lee. - Did I put my trust...
in the wrong person?
First your menace of a son and now your subordinate.
I'm now heavily doubting your ability...
to lead a division all together!
I have faith in Lieutenant Colonel Won.
After what happened at the press conference?
Who can a superior officer trust...
if she doesn't trust her own subordinate?
- What? - Sergeant Gu...
was enticed by Do Be Man...
who holds a grudge for the suspension he received.
What about the friendly fire?
And the bullet retrieved from the surgery?
You of all people know that a military prosecutor...
has the power to manipulate and fabricate evidence.
Shut it!
Tomorrow, I will be there with the rest of the Patriotic Society.
You'd better have a plan to wiggle your way out of this!
There won't be a slap on the wrist this time. Got it?
(The zealous elite troop, The 4th Infantry Division)
Who is that crazy redhead?
Who is she?
How can she know everything?
Huh?
What do you think you're yapping on about?
I did everything you ordered.
I even let you take my leg.
I followed even the foulest commands...
and served as your dog for 20 years!
Calm down, will you?
I have a way out of this.
I took the bullet when driving Cha Ho Cheol out of IM Defense...
and lied in court.
I did it for you, Commander.
That's not all.
The car accident you caused 20 years ago.
The one where you ran over the married military investigators.
Don't you play dumb with me...
for I remember everything clearly.
Do Be Man said...
that all I am guilty of is being your puppet.
I advise you to stop.
Cross the line...
and your fate will take a wild turn.
Here. I just crossed the line.
What now?
I have stepped on a mine for real this time.
But it won't be just me who gets blown up.
I won't die alone.
I have the leverage to help myself in a situation like this.
You ungrateful brat.
You, Hong Moo Sup,
and even Lee Jae Sik. I hold a bomb that can blast all your heads off.
Your fate...
lies in my hands too.
So turn the wheels in your head...
and find a way to restore my reputation. Got it?
Staff Judge Advocate.
My office, right now.
Salute.
Proceed with the arrest of Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon.
I understand that the situation calls for it,
but I'm concerned about it putting you in jeopardy.
Lieutenant Colonel Won confessed a minute ago.
He staged everything.
So what was said at the press conference is true.
He is willing to cooperate with the investigation...
and only requested that we preserve his dignity as a soldier.
I hear you, ma'am.
I will arrange for a small party to arrest him tomorrow.
Also, regarding the suspension and probation...
of Captain Do and Captain Cha...
Their penalties should still be carried out.
But... Well, you see...
Just say it, will you?
Their penalties have already been lifted!
- What? - By Commanding General Hong.
Without going through me first?
Yes, ma'am. He came by the office and laid out the command.
He said that Captain Do and Captain Cha...
should be rewarded, not penalized.
One can only think that he couldn't go against...
the current public opinion.
All right. You're dismissed.
Yes, ma'am. I will do as ordered.
Salute.
An arrest warrant will be issued tomorrow morning.
He will also be banned from leaving the country.
Yes, sir.
Your probation has been lifted, but I want Section Chief Ahn...
and Section Chief Yoon to arrest him.
Yes, sir.
One more thing. It was still wrong of you...
to disobey my command and leave the base while on probation.
Considering the outcome though,
I guess I have nothing more to say about it.
Thank you for believing my words. I'm glad you're okay, sir.
It's all thanks to me knowing how to bend...
in the right way.
Just so you know, I could've stopped...
the press conference from ever taking place, but...
I'll see you tomorrow, sir.
What? Oh, right.
That little...
(Military Police)
Section Chief Yoon and Section Chief Ahn are on their way.
We can finally uncover the mine incident's mastermind.
I feel like No Hwa Young gave in too readily.
She personally ordered his arrest.
I feel the same way.
What if she didn't give in, but rather...
cut her losses?
(Military Police)
- He must be inside. - I think so.
Are you just going in?
Darn it.
Gosh.
My reputation was trampled on...
for disciplining the military prosecutors.
I'm magnanimous, so I can let that slide.
But the Won Ki Choon debacle.
If that had blown up during her son's trial...
She should step down immediately.
She always said the direct supervisor...
is accountable for the faults of a subordinate.
The minister went out of his way...
to make her a division commander, and she disgraced him in return.
How many male generals did we lose who opposed?
I fear you will be criticized for what occurred.
So am I, sir.
So? I should fire the division commander?
She's even hurting the Patriotic Society.
I only follow what the higher-ups decide.
Division Commander. I said to report regarding the plan.
Tell me.
I'll do whatever you order.
I will leave the service.
I have no regrets or fear...
regarding keeping my word. However,
let me make myself clear.
The facts of the case have not been fully uncovered.
Yet, you attack your junior officer and a colleague who is struggling.
Is that the heart of a soldier?
No Hwa Young! Have you lost your mind?
How dare you disrespect a superior officer?
Sir.
Salute.
Ma'am. I have very important news.
What is it?
Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon has died.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I am.
Our investigators just confirmed it.
What's the cause of death?
We're checking, but it looks like a suicide.
The gun issued to Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon...
was found at the scene.
It has been a week since Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon,
who rose to fame as the Mine Hero,
which turned out to be staged, died.
Upon investigating for three days,
the military announced there were no signs of foul play.
The family refused an autopsy,
so only an external examination was performed on the body.
The person we will meet today...
is an icon of justice who never lets go once he bites,
- just like a Doberman. - Be Man, that rat.
He uncovered the truth...
I'll kill you first the day I get out of here.
The truth about the mine incident.
Thanks to him...
New recruits can't watch TV.
This secret may have been buried forever...
You can't touch the remote, so be careful, okay?
You know I'm your direct predecessor.
Yes, sir.
This is a gift for the youngest.
What is this?
My notes. I memorized it all.
Names of our predecessors, their military ID numbers,
the range of firearms, rangers,
and the special team assignment process.
Memorize it all in a week.
Memorize all of it?
I don't even know my own military ID number.
Want a tip for an easy life in the military?
Don't stand out. Make sure you don't stand out.
Then it'll be easy.
Come with me. I'll teach you.
You can't layer up jacket liners.
You must tuck in your jacket liner inside your pants.
No watching TV when bringing firearms in.
No leaning on the lockers.
No shiny boots.
Before going up to your bed,
you must put your shoes away nicely.
You must abide by these rules until you become a corporal.
You can wrap a scarf around your neck once you're a corporal.
Why are there so many rules?
What can I actually do?
What about cell phones? I can use cell phones, right?
Once you become a sergeant.
You can use them after the day is done.
That's absurd.
I'll get rid of all of these rules once I'm the highest one here,
so be patient until then.
You're only a few months ahead of me.
That's true.
Get it!
Nice. Our point.
Okay. Here.
- Go. - Go.
Nice.
Hey.
You need to turn away from someone more senior.
Okay.
It's okay when you're with me,
but you should be careful in front of the others.
But you can blow smoke out of your nose...
even as a private.
Forget it. I don't want to smoke.
Hello, sir. I was training the new recruit.
Are you No Tae Nam?
The division commander's son, right?
Talk about connections.
But we don't give special treatment to things like that here.
We all suffer the same.
I never asked for any.
What about it?
What?
What?
We need to teach you how to speak first.
Sorry, sir. I'll train him properly.
Do it right.
The predecessor is accountable for the new recruits' faults.
You know that, right?
Yes, sir. I do, sir.
But seriously...
you're pretty.
We finally got a pretty boy.
Let's go!
Why is that jerk touching my face?
Hey.
He'll hear you.
Life here won't be so easy for you.
- Get it. - Mine.
Come on.
Why is he looking at me like that?
Darn it.
(General Court for Armed Force)
Good job...
watching the office without me.
Good job...
working outside of the office without me.
I remember you walking in...
through that door during No Tae Nam's trial.
(In Session)
You figured I'd be back, didn't you?
I never doubted our destiny to fight together.
I said back then...
that I'd be your loyal hunting dog.
You did.
Then was Won Ki Choon a failure?
You've failed.
I see.
It feels like a stake through the heart to actually hear it.
It hurts.
You should've put him behind this stand.
You should've let me condemn him from that table.
(Prosecutor)
Did you ask me to meet you here to tell me...
I had lost my prey?
It's not the result I wanted, but I wanted to share with you...
the end of the first hunt.
(Defendant)
There are still more we must put in this seat.
Hong Moo Sup.
Lee Jae Sik.
Heo Kang In. Yong Moon Gu.
And...
No Hwa Young.
Yes, sure. I'll work even harder, Ms. Dog Trainer.
Do you know something?
A hunting hound is so fierce, not even its owner can touch it.
You're wrong.
A true hunting hound lets none but its owner touch it.
Oh, okay.
You said I failed to get Won Ki Choon.
I have something to show you. Follow me.
(Confiscated from Won Ki Choon's Army Residence)
Won's the kind of guy who even wears his bulletproof vest on missions.
There's no way such a coward...
would've obeyed No Hwa Young without insurance.
That's my hunch.
You and your hunch.
You lack experience.
To people like me, my hunch...
is like big data I gathered from meeting hundreds of criminals.
You were an incredibly talented military prosecutor for five years.
Your data can't be completely useless.
I searched Won's army residence thoroughly.
Your hunt was a failure, but you got lots of trophies.
See if your hunch will tell you if anything here...
can be used as evidence.
I already picked something out.
(Daehan Bank)
Bankbooks.
(Law and Law)
(Yeonhwa Parking)
(Parking ticket)
A car key with a dead battery...
for a car that's in long-term parking.
It looks like it's nothing but I feel like there's something.
My hunch rubbed off on you.
Commander No's on her way to give a statement.
(Interrogation Room)
(Restricted, Staff Only)
(Do Be Man, Cha Woo In)
Let's begin.
State your name, rank, and division.
Those are the rules.
(No Hwa Young)
No Hwa Young, Major General.
4th Infantry Division Commander.
Confirmed.
Thank you for helping with the investigation of...
Lieutenant Colonel Won's suicide.
Ma'am.
You brought your lawyer to a simple proceeding.
May I ask why?
How rude of you.
As you said, this is a simple proceeding.
Remember your manners.
I just asked for a reason.
The two of you smashed...
a senior officer's prosthesis in court.
I'm here to stop you from going too far.
I think you're the one who's overreacting.
Let's cut to the chase and ask what you must.
Both of you.
You're the last person to see the lieutenant colonel alive.
What did you talk about in your office?
He confessed to what he did.
I told the staff judge advocate. Ask him.
Very well. We'll ask him.
Do you have proof that he confessed?
A subordinate came to me to confess his crimes and repent.
Should I have turned on the recorder?
I'm sorry to say there's no such evidence.
I'm the reason you got his arrest warrant so fast.
I didn't expect any thanks,
but I didn't think I'd be treated like this.
Where were you at around 11pm that night?
Why do you need to know that?
She's here only to give a statement.
It's fine. I'll answer.
I left work early because I was distraught about what he said.
What did you do then?
I went to my dorm and went to sleep.
Why? Do you not believe me?
Can you prove that?
What are they doing?
Check the log the guards fill in,
and the key card record for when she entered her dorm.
The guards' log...
is easy to tamper with.
We'll check that.
Before taking his own life, Won put a silencer on his gun...
so that no one would hear the shot.
What do you think about that?
You don't have to answer.
No.
I must gratify their curiosity.
He wouldn't have liked the fact that his body...
would be on display after he killed himself.
He'd have wanted to delay it as long as he could.
As a fellow soldier,
I understand completely.
Don't you?
(Cha Woo In)
(Do Be Man)
What do you have to say about his leg?
The person who cut it off is in this room.
That means it's one of you two.
Who is it?
It's...
you two sitting over there.
How interesting.
You're saying our investigation made Lieutenant Colonel Won...
Cut off his own leg and eventually kill himself.
It was your excessive investigation.
What Lieutenant Colonel Won did.
Was it a crime so grave that he had to pay with his life?
You two think about that.
We should go.
I bet his accomplice army surgeon Cho Soo Chan...
did the amputation.
Find him.
That's a tip from a senior who was once a prosecutor.
(Interrogation Room)
I have something to say to them.
I'll meet you in your office.
Good job, CEO Yong.
Salute.
That'll be the last time she comes in to give a statement.
She only did it out of courtesy...
to wish Lieutenant Colonel Won peace,
so any more of your disrespect will not be tolerated.
CEO Yong, as of today, you will refrain from...
stepping inside the interrogation room.
Didn't you step away from being an attorney...
when you took the job as CEO?
I'm glad you brought that up.
I had something to say to Captain Cha.
Now that you have my card,
I'd like you to know that the name IM will no longer exist.
I'm thinking about renaming it.
Former chairman Cha Ho Cheol...
and No Tae Nam...
have ruined the reputation of the company.
I will take it upon myself...
to clear the dooming shadows casting over it.
Then...
(Interrogation Room)
Yong Moon Gu.
He knows.
(The zealous elite troop, The 4th Infantry Division)
Commanding General Hong,
I appreciate you lifting the disciplinary penalty.
You asked me to spare some time for you...
just to thank me?
Gosh, sir. When else would I get the chance...
to meet you in person?
A military prosecutor only has to do his job right.
Keep up the good work.
Yes, sir.
That reminds me.
I hear that you used to be a military prosecutor as well.
Hasn't it been 20 years already?
Stand up straight, darn it!
You wimp.
Lack of evidence!
Cleared of allegations!
Non-indictment!
You vermin.
You piece of garbage.
(Military Investigator: Do Sung Hwan)
My loyalty will stand with you, Commanding General Hong.
You too, ma'am.
(Military Prosecutor Doberman)
Who are we hunting next?
Commanding General Hong Moo Sup.
There's something I'm suspicious of.
There's a frequent change in housekeeping soldiers.
I can already smell it.
Abuse of power, I mean.
You're being treated like a slave, aren't you?
Don't you remember me?
Have you ever sided with the victim of power abuse before?
- Salute! - Power is a drug, you see.
One that is even more addictive than money.
Those who hold grudges or hostility against me...
must be under my observation.
I'm sure you'll find a way, Captain Do.

(Restricted, Staff Only)
(Do Be Man, Cha Woo In)
Let's begin.
State your name, rank, and division.
(9 days ago)
What intrigues me is something else.
Won Ki Choon's leg.
It was cut off.
I cut it off.
You did it in person?
I didn't think you'd get blood on your hands.
This is unexpected.
It was wrong of me to assume I knew you well.
I don't mind getting blood on my hands.
I can wash it off.
It's much better than letting things go wrong.
You should leave. I'm tired.
I have something important to report.
What is it?
It's about Cha Woo In's identity.
This will surprise you.
Will it?
She's Cha Ho Cheol's daughter.
Did you think I wouldn't know?
Since the day she became a military prosecutor...
I've been watching her and I bet she has no idea.
Why are you just leaving her alone?
I'm watching her.
It would look bad if I were to care about a captain.
Your son's trial and desertion, and Won Ki Choon too.
You keep getting dragged into things.
And Woo In's a military prosecutor who can charge any army personnel.
That goes for Be Man too.
Be Man used to work for me and cared only about money.
He changed completely since he met Woo In.
They must be connected somehow.
You must beware of those two.
I'm more worried about you.
You only just realized who Woo In is.
She's a spy in my vicinity, and you just identified her.
I now wonder if you can even run IM in my place.
You're excused.
Woo In prepared for many years to come before you.
You should not underestimate that.
Also, now...
you should address me as CEO Yong.
I no longer want to be called a lawyer.
You only just realized who Woo In is.
She's a spy in my vicinity, and you just identified her.
(Personnel Record: Cha Woo In)
Spy.
She thinks...
Cha Woo In is a spy.
(Personnel Record: Cha Woo In)
A monster beyond our imagination.
(Episode 9)
They say monsters and demons were created because...
people couldn't believe humans were capable of such evil.
If she had him cut off a perfectly fine leg...
No Hwa Young definitely is a monster.
To defeat a monster, we must move first.
Schedule a press conference for tomorrow.
A press conference?
I'll use Sergeant Gu's story to get the media fired up.
His statement is key,
but we also need proof that'll be a smoking gun.
Kim Han Yong's brother is getting brain surgery tomorrow.
Hold on a second.
I thought the fragments in his brain made the operation impossible.
But it was Dr. Cho Soo Chan who made that diagnosis.
The accomplice in the Mine Hero case.
I see. So you think he lied.
It's logical to think...
that he put off the surgery to keep the truth buried.
After all, he's the evil doctor who swapped out his patient's CT scans.
I have already booked the neurosurgeon...
who'll spearhead the operation.
Captain Do, you must meet with Kim Han Yong...
and get him to sign off on it.
Are you sure...
that my brother can be operated on?
It's an invasive surgery on the brain,
so we must expect the worst.
The decision is all yours.
I'm aware that it isn't an easy one.
You're wrong.
The decision is my brother's.
He always told me...
to be brave if the moment allowed it.
Although the chances are slim,
it still beats doing nothing.
That was why I chose to shoot my gun...
that day.
Did you talk to Kim Han Yong?
Yes.
Can we move forward with the surgery?
Rather than focusing on a one percent chance,
let's muster up one percent of courage.
Sorry?
It's what Kim Han Yong said.
Did he?
Who's behind Won Ki Choon's case...
must be revealed for his brother's sake.
Of course. It'll also be for Kim Han Yong...
who came to a tough decision.
We must collect evidence...
that will knock No Hwa Young back.
Cha, switch to video call for a second.
What? Why would we...
Is something up?
Come here.
Isn't that Bolt?
It is. I got stuck with him somehow.
Kang, that wimp.
I did feel bad about placing Bolt with him,
so it's nice to know he's in good hands.
What is it?
Well, Kim Han Yong's brother has his surgery tomorrow...
and Sergeant Gu will hold a press conference.
It'll be a big day for us.
We'll either turn the tables...
or be swallowed up by our plans.
It's judgment day.
Right.
I'll head to bed then.
Good night.
You too. Sweet...
She has no manners whatsoever.
Darn it.
Come on, Bolt. Let's go to bed.
Am I facing east? I'll sleep this way.
This way, Bolt. Good boy.
Bolt, come join me. No?
Okay, let's go. This is lame, isn't it?
Off you go, Bolt.
Come on in.
Seriously? This is breaking and entering.
You broke into the house of a detective!
Come on. This is where my aunt raised me,
so why would I spend my nights out on the streets?
Hold on. That's doenjang jjigae.
Grab this for a second.
- Hey. - Of course.
Nothing beats a good home-cooked meal.
Gosh, I'm famished.
Auntie, can you wipe his paws?
Seriously?
You spooked us both.
Delicious as always, Auntie.
I got lonely, you see.
We found a witness in Won Ki Choon's case.
He'll speak up at a press conference tomorrow.
But you were suspended. Are you sure about this?
It's why I'm fighting them head-on.
You know I'm a fighter.
One that doesn't give up until he wins.
Besides, I'm also a witness too.
The sole witness to my parents' accident.
Be Man,
that crash from 20 years back...
Do you really believe there's more to the case?
Yes.
I'm certain of it.
Once the search warrant for Won Ki Choon's residence is issued,
my fight will truly begin.
Your fight will begin?
(Armed Forces Capital Hospital)
Making him a mine hero was probably No Hwa Young's design,
but we have no proof of it.
All we have is circumstantial evidence.
It's why I'm on my way to interrogate him.
An interrogation within a hospital room.
If only I wasn't on probation.
Tread lightly since you're on your own today.
We can afford this to fail...
since our next goal is the real deal.
I'll turn the Mine Hero into an active mine.
One that'll explode when stepped on.
Darn it!
You scoundrel.
This is no place for a soldier on suspension!
I came to see how you were doing.
Oh, I forgot.
Salute.
It's already been months since the injury,
but you're still not used to the pain.
One might think it was only severed a few days ago.
What?
Goodness.
Rather than having a nurse do it,
you're giving yourself pain relievers.
You must have a lot to hide.
I get it though...
since you suddenly found yourself...
as the leading man in someone else's show.
You really had no choice.
However, the problem is this.
The elaborately designed show...
in which you only had to play a character...
suddenly became a devastating reality for you.
There's no need to pretend anymore...
now that you are a real hero.
That show you're in?
I'll put an end to it today.
What nonsense are you spewing? Get out of here!
Someone witnessed it all.
He saw you misfire your gun and shoot the company commander.
Identify yourself!
Company Commander?
Sergeant Gu will speak the truth at a press conference today.
The truth?
What do you think will happen if you take all the blame?
They'll think you cut off your own leg...
and fabricated a story to become a national hero.
Overnight,
you will go from a hero to a lunatic.
Your only fault...
was that you let yourself be a puppet.
This person cut off your leg.
This person is the mastermind and the main villain.
What you are is another victim.
You had no choice but to follow this person's lead.
So just tell me one piece of information.
Name, rank, or title.
If you do, I'll show you leniency with a plea bargain.
(Plea bargain: an agreement that allows a confession...)
(to be bargained for leniency)
No...
No...
No...
Haven't you heard of knocking?
Now, get out. Get lost!
Can you please leave?
Oh, dear. You missed out on an opportunity.
Commander Won Ki Choon of the Reconnaissance Unit.
I'll be back with an arrest warrant.
Salute.
(Ward 21 Nurse Station)
As expected,
No Hwa Young is the mastermind.
You suddenly found yourself...
as the leading man in someone else's show.
You really had no choice.
A show?
Do Be Man, you crazy dog!
As if I'd feel threatened by your words.
I'm a hero.
I'm a real hero!
(Won Ki Choon)
(Division Commander No Hwa Young)
This is the result of the investigation...
into military corruption that you requested.
Based on the investigation, there were sub-par products...
provided to our division, namely,
Which were...
Namely, 257 tactical uniforms and 419...
What does this say? Yes, 419 berets.
The products that were supplied to us...
were substandard.
The supply officer was apparently bribed...
by the vendor...
I'm in a meeting.
Commander. I think Be Man...
I think he knows everything.
There was a witness in the Reconnaissance Unit.
He's going to expose us for it all...
in front of reporters today.
If that gets out...
I'll die.
Let's talk later.
Commander!
He seems to have figured out...
that you cut off my leg.
Okay.
- Continue. - Yes, ma'am.
Furthermore, some of the food suppliers...
and the supply officers had special relationships...
Bring in...
every rat who gave money and every rat who took the money.
Let's finish the report another time.
- You're dismissed. - Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
Nice timing. Yes.
That phone call completely saved my life.
I thought I was dead for sure because I didn't have the documents.
Nice timing.
I can just wing it again today.
The clock keeps ticking even if you hang it upside down.
Yes.
Anyway, I wonder if something's wrong.
She seemed disturbed.
(Overnight Duty Room)
Anyway, what nice timing.
Darn it. I'm so sore.
With Be Man gone,
there's no one to give me a massage.
(Seo Joo Hyeok)
You're on probation, so sit at your desk. Why are you here?
Get out.
I have something to report about Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon.
Are you just itching because you're on probation?
I'm letting it slide because I'm in a good mood.
Why are you trying to make my life more miserable?
Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon is guilty of friendly fire.
(Seo Joo Hyeok)
Do you have a grudge against Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon?
The company commander was shot. He did not step on a mine.
Enough with your gibberish!
The reason for the friendly fire is more serious.
He bribed the military doctor,
and it was impossible without help from higher up.
What? Bribe? Help from higher up?
You're out of control.
Fine. I'll get you dishonorably discharged if you want.
Say the word. I'll kick you out right now!
You must issue a detention warrant for Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon.
What?
An arrest warrant? What?
Okay, fine.
I'll give you my decision as the Staff Judge Advocate.
Listen carefully.
Due to the lack of culpability based on the evidence presented,
there is no need for detention. Got that?
Sir.
Woo In. You are a textbook case.
If a prosecutor targets a culprit and investigates around him,
anyone can be found guilty.
That is why people have...
no respect for prosecutors.
You should talk. You won't even read my report.
You...
Get out of my face. Get lost!
Fine.
But I gave you a chance.
What? A chance?
In 30 minutes, a member of the Reconnaissance Unit...
who was there that day will be holding a press conference.
What?
Sergeant Gu Hyun Seok, the sole witness...
of Lieutenant Colonel Won's friendly fire,
will speak the truth in front of the entire nation.
(Snacks for Tonight)
Once the fact that the Mine Hero was a scam on the nation,
the public will be outraged,
and you'll take the fall alone for failing to investigate properly.
What? Why should I?
Because you refused the chance that I gave you without a thought.
You've always said to be a soldier over a prosecutor.
I am a soldier right now, not a prosecutor.
A soldier may snap, but we do not bend.
Hey, Woo In. Stop right there.
I'll tell you one last time.
Issue a detention warrant for Won Ki Choon...
and have me reinstated for duty.
And request the cancellation of Captain Do's disciplinary action.
Why do you have so many demands?
Decide. There isn't time.
Fine. I'll decide after the press conference.
Fine.
Darn it.
(Seo Joo Hyeok)
Hold on. What if I end up taking the fall for everything?
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
Make sure everything is ready.
(Press Conference)
What do you think they'll say?
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
There are many reporters. Can you handle it?
Yes, sir! I'll be there soon, sir!
Nice. You sound confident.
You're like a different person from yesterday.
I've decided to think only about the company commander today.
He should be in surgery now. I hope it goes well.
Darn it.
What's wrong? What's going on?
Darn it.
Bang.
It's the lieutenant colonel.
What do I do?
Don't hang up.
Okay.
Captain.
(Sergeant Gu)
Aren't we going to start? It's almost time.
I need to make a call. Be right back.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
(Sergeant Gu)
The person you have reached...
(Do Be Man)
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
The person you have reached...
The person you have reached...
I need to leave the base.
- Pardon? - I can't reach Captain Do.
I think there's a problem with the press conference.
So... Section Chief Yoon. Section Chief Ahn.
Can you please help me?
Your red-haired alter ego is heading out now, right?
You knew?
I flinch whenever I see a redhead now.
Don't worry. I wear that only when I'm hunting.
Hunting.
(4th Infantry Division)
What's wrong with you? She's coughing.
Sorry, sir. I hope your cold gets better soon, Section Chief Ahn.
Have a nice day.
- Thanks. - Let them through.
(4th Infantry Division)
- Nice job. - Nice.
Yes.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
- What a waste of time. - He'll be here soon.
It's obvious he changed his mind...
or went into hiding.
How can you have a press conference?
- Sir. - Let me leave!
Aren't you the military prosecutor who was disciplined?
How are we to believe you?
Sergeant Gu?
Where are you?
I told you not to take that road.
The traffic is horrendous there.
Go straight ahead for 50m...
and take the alley at your one o'clock...
What?
There's something bigger?
Mr. Prosecutor.
Where is he right now?
Hello?
Oh, come on. Not that...
Sit and wait. I'll go and get him.
Yes.
From where you are, turn right...
Sergeant Gu took a wrong turn.
But that's not the problem.
He has a bigger story.
- A bigger one? - Yes, bigger.
- What is it? - A scoop.
- Are you sure? - It's a scoop.
I'm sure, so sit back down.
(Detective Do Soo Kyung)
Cha, it's me.
Won Ki Choon got to Sergeant Gu.
So it was him.
I'm on my way there.
What? How did you find out?
No, forget that.
Our boss must be watching...
He's not watching you.
I'll go to Sergeant Gu while you...
No. I'll send Sergeant Gu to you safely. Text me his location.
You keep the reporters there.
That's an order.
It was a special order from the Mine Hero himself,
so I sent men who'd served in the special forces.
They'll assist you well.
Thank Mr. Yong for me.
You'll expose me?
I was your commander!
This is a revolt!
I'm no longer a soldier.
I don't serve you anymore!
I'll tell them everything.
I'll tell them everything I saw!
Do Be Man paid you, didn't he?
To tattle on me, didn't he?
You're disabled now. Don't waste your energy.
There are other ways to get to fools like him.
A video call to his family will make him come right around.
(Military Prosecutor Do Be Man)
You were on the phone?
He got a live feed of what was going on.
(Military Prosecutor Do Be Man)
This happens because they have unlimited call minutes.
If you know no fear,
we must use the final option.
Boys. Get to it.
What's this?
A girl?
She has a gun!
Get out of there.
He's getting away!
There's a car outside. Leave now.
- What? - Don't dawdle. Go straight there.
A crowd is waiting for you.
Shut the door behind you.
Stop!
- Boss, no! - Boss!
- Wait. - What's this?
- It's a BB gun? - What?
Ouch, that stings!
(Operating Room)
Sergeant Gu!
Are you okay?
Let's go.
You can leave if you're busy,
but if you do, you miss out on the scoop.
Who his Do Be Man?
Do you remember the pampered soldier scandal?
He's the goose that lays golden exclusives.
Leave now and you'll regret it forever.
Lady!
"Lady"?
Yes, you lady, standing there.
How much...
were you paid to do this?
You can't do this here.
You're busy people. You can all go.
The press conference has been canceled!
- No, it's not canceled! - It's canceled!
- Get going. - I get paid to do this?
I'm Detective Do Soo Kyung from Gangnam Police Station.
Your face... You're not a reporter, are you?
Let me see your ID.
Your face doesn't look that normal either.
What's a detective doing at a military press conference?
This case was already tried in a military court!
The prosecutor who smashed the prosthesis was disciplined!
Yes!
That military prosecutor is my nephew! Okay?
He's your nephew?
- Nice to meet you. - Wait and see.
My nephew...
will get to the bottom of this case.
Because he's like a Doberman!
See? Wasn't I right?

(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
I was recently...
discharged from the 4th Division's Reconnaissance Unit.
My name is Gu Hyun Seok.
I'm here to reveal the truth...
about the Mine Hero...
Forget it.
You weren't even here on time.
How are we to believe someone who lacks even basic courtesy?
We can't write about this.
The mine incident happened ages ago.
Why are you stepping up now?
Do you have an ulterior motive?
Captain Do.
I was scared.
I was the only one who saw him get shot.
I was so scared.
Sir.
If I were to speak of what happened...
I was about to be discharged.
I thought I'd end up getting killed before I got to see my mom.
I told myself I just had to keep quiet.
That I'd leave behind what happened in the army.
Yes.
I kept quiet for my own sake.
But the person who should be disciplined became a hero,
and I couldn't forget the sight...
of my company commander after he'd been shot.
To shake off the guilt,
I left a note in his hospital room.
Also,
Prosecutor Do gave me courage.
Do you have proof to back up what you saw?
I'm Captain Do Be Man,
a prosecutor with the 4th Infantry.
I'll take it from here.
First, to answer your question, I will show you the proof.
A bullet?
This bullet was in the head of...
the Recon Unit's company commander.
- For real? - They got it out?
To my trained eye as a military prosecutor,
it's a bullet, not a mine shard.
I can confirm that.
The authenticity of the evidence...
will be officially reported after it is reviewed.
You should also know that the company commander's surgery...
was a success.
Once he recovers,
he will give a full statement as to what happened...
and will go back to his normal life.
What about the Mine Hero's leg?
Why does Commander Won Ki Choon...
not have his leg?
I've been waiting for that question.
Would he have cut off his own leg to become a mine hero...
or could there be someone else pulling the strings?
On his way over here, Sergeant Gu was taken by will...
and was threatened to keep the truth buried.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
Someone else is pulling the strings.
This isn't a simple case of a fabricated heroic tale,
but a peek into the scandal that is to come.
(The Truth Behind the DMZ Mine Explosion)
Furthermore, I request this upon Commanding General Hong Moo Sup.
Please lift the suspension issued upon Captain Cha and me...
so that we can reinvestigate this case.
Salute.
(DMZ Mine Explosion Was Actually Friendly Fire from Won Ki Choon)
Salute.
Where did you crawl out from?
Don't come any closer?
Don't you dare come closer.
It was No Hwa Young, wasn't it?
She's the one who cut off your leg.
She was also the one...
who ordered you to commit perjury on the stand six years ago...
to drive Cha Ho Cheol out of IM Defense.
Who are you?
Who do you think I am?
Don't tell me...
you'll attack a cripple...
The next time we meet,
you'll learn...
who I really am.
This bullet was in the head of...
the Recon Unit's company commander.
To my trained eye as a military prosecutor,
it's a bullet, not a mine shard.
I can confirm that.
- Yes, Minister Lee. - Did I put my trust...
in the wrong person?
First your menace of a son and now your subordinate.
I'm now heavily doubting your ability...
to lead a division all together!
I have faith in Lieutenant Colonel Won.
After what happened at the press conference?
Who can a superior officer trust...
if she doesn't trust her own subordinate?
- What? - Sergeant Gu...
was enticed by Do Be Man...
who holds a grudge for the suspension he received.
What about the friendly fire?
And the bullet retrieved from the surgery?
You of all people know that a military prosecutor...
has the power to manipulate and fabricate evidence.
Shut it!
Tomorrow, I will be there with the rest of the Patriotic Society.
You'd better have a plan to wiggle your way out of this!
There won't be a slap on the wrist this time. Got it?
(The zealous elite troop, The 4th Infantry Division)
Who is that crazy redhead?
Who is she?
How can she know everything?
Huh?
What do you think you're yapping on about?
I did everything you ordered.
I even let you take my leg.
I followed even the foulest commands...
and served as your dog for 20 years!
Calm down, will you?
I have a way out of this.
I took the bullet when driving Cha Ho Cheol out of IM Defense...
and lied in court.
I did it for you, Commander.
That's not all.
The car accident you caused 20 years ago.
The one where you ran over the married military investigators.
Don't you play dumb with me...
for I remember everything clearly.
Do Be Man said...
that all I am guilty of is being your puppet.
I advise you to stop.
Cross the line...
and your fate will take a wild turn.
Here. I just crossed the line.
What now?
I have stepped on a mine for real this time.
But it won't be just me who gets blown up.
I won't die alone.
I have the leverage to help myself in a situation like this.
You ungrateful brat.
You, Hong Moo Sup,
and even Lee Jae Sik. I hold a bomb that can blast all your heads off.
Your fate...
lies in my hands too.
So turn the wheels in your head...
and find a way to restore my reputation. Got it?
Staff Judge Advocate.
My office, right now.
Salute.
Proceed with the arrest of Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon.
I understand that the situation calls for it,
but I'm concerned about it putting you in jeopardy.
Lieutenant Colonel Won confessed a minute ago.
He staged everything.
So what was said at the press conference is true.
He is willing to cooperate with the investigation...
and only requested that we preserve his dignity as a soldier.
I hear you, ma'am.
I will arrange for a small party to arrest him tomorrow.
Also, regarding the suspension and probation...
of Captain Do and Captain Cha...
Their penalties should still be carried out.
But... Well, you see...
Just say it, will you?
Their penalties have already been lifted!
- What? - By Commanding General Hong.
Without going through me first?
Yes, ma'am. He came by the office and laid out the command.
He said that Captain Do and Captain Cha...
should be rewarded, not penalized.
One can only think that he couldn't go against...
the current public opinion.
All right. You're dismissed.
Yes, ma'am. I will do as ordered.
Salute.
An arrest warrant will be issued tomorrow morning.
He will also be banned from leaving the country.
Yes, sir.
Your probation has been lifted, but I want Section Chief Ahn...
and Section Chief Yoon to arrest him.
Yes, sir.
One more thing. It was still wrong of you...
to disobey my command and leave the base while on probation.
Considering the outcome though,
I guess I have nothing more to say about it.
Thank you for believing my words. I'm glad you're okay, sir.
It's all thanks to me knowing how to bend...
in the right way.
Just so you know, I could've stopped...
the press conference from ever taking place, but...
I'll see you tomorrow, sir.
What? Oh, right.
That little...
(Military Police)
Section Chief Yoon and Section Chief Ahn are on their way.
We can finally uncover the mine incident's mastermind.
I feel like No Hwa Young gave in too readily.
She personally ordered his arrest.
I feel the same way.
What if she didn't give in, but rather...
cut her losses?
(Military Police)
- He must be inside. - I think so.
Are you just going in?
Darn it.
Gosh.
My reputation was trampled on...
for disciplining the military prosecutors.
I'm magnanimous, so I can let that slide.
But the Won Ki Choon debacle.
If that had blown up during her son's trial...
She should step down immediately.
She always said the direct supervisor...
is accountable for the faults of a subordinate.
The minister went out of his way...
to make her a division commander, and she disgraced him in return.
How many male generals did we lose who opposed?
I fear you will be criticized for what occurred.
So am I, sir.
So? I should fire the division commander?
She's even hurting the Patriotic Society.
I only follow what the higher-ups decide.
Division Commander. I said to report regarding the plan.
Tell me.
I'll do whatever you order.
I will leave the service.
I have no regrets or fear...
regarding keeping my word. However,
let me make myself clear.
The facts of the case have not been fully uncovered.
Yet, you attack your junior officer and a colleague who is struggling.
Is that the heart of a soldier?
No Hwa Young! Have you lost your mind?
How dare you disrespect a superior officer?
Sir.
Salute.
Ma'am. I have very important news.
What is it?
Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon has died.
- Are you sure? - Yes, I am.
Our investigators just confirmed it.
What's the cause of death?
We're checking, but it looks like a suicide.
The gun issued to Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon...
was found at the scene.
It has been a week since Lieutenant Colonel Won Ki Choon,
who rose to fame as the Mine Hero,
which turned out to be staged, died.
Upon investigating for three days,
the military announced there were no signs of foul play.
The family refused an autopsy,
so only an external examination was performed on the body.
The person we will meet today...
is an icon of justice who never lets go once he bites,
- just like a Doberman. - Be Man, that rat.
He uncovered the truth...
I'll kill you first the day I get out of here.
The truth about the mine incident.
Thanks to him...
New recruits can't watch TV.
This secret may have been buried forever...
You can't touch the remote, so be careful, okay?
You know I'm your direct predecessor.
Yes, sir.
This is a gift for the youngest.
What is this?
My notes. I memorized it all.
Names of our predecessors, their military ID numbers,
the range of firearms, rangers,
and the special team assignment process.
Memorize it all in a week.
Memorize all of it?
I don't even know my own military ID number.
Want a tip for an easy life in the military?
Don't stand out. Make sure you don't stand out.
Then it'll be easy.
Come with me. I'll teach you.
You can't layer up jacket liners.
You must tuck in your jacket liner inside your pants.
No watching TV when bringing firearms in.
No leaning on the lockers.
No shiny boots.
Before going up to your bed,
you must put your shoes away nicely.
You must abide by these rules until you become a corporal.
You can wrap a scarf around your neck once you're a corporal.
Why are there so many rules?
What can I actually do?
What about cell phones? I can use cell phones, right?
Once you become a sergeant.
You can use them after the day is done.
That's absurd.
I'll get rid of all of these rules once I'm the highest one here,
so be patient until then.
You're only a few months ahead of me.
That's true.
Get it!
Nice. Our point.
Okay. Here.
- Go. - Go.
Nice.
Hey.
You need to turn away from someone more senior.
Okay.
It's okay when you're with me,
but you should be careful in front of the others.
But you can blow smoke out of your nose...
even as a private.
Forget it. I don't want to smoke.
Hello, sir. I was training the new recruit.
Are you No Tae Nam?
The division commander's son, right?
Talk about connections.
But we don't give special treatment to things like that here.
We all suffer the same.
I never asked for any.
What about it?
What?
What?
We need to teach you how to speak first.
Sorry, sir. I'll train him properly.
Do it right.
The predecessor is accountable for the new recruits' faults.
You know that, right?
Yes, sir. I do, sir.
But seriously...
you're pretty.
We finally got a pretty boy.
Let's go!
Why is that jerk touching my face?
Hey.
He'll hear you.
Life here won't be so easy for you.
- Get it. - Mine.
Come on.
Why is he looking at me like that?
Darn it.
(General Court for Armed Force)
Good job...
watching the office without me.
Good job...
working outside of the office without me.
I remember you walking in...
through that door during No Tae Nam's trial.
(In Session)
You figured I'd be back, didn't you?
I never doubted our destiny to fight together.
I said back then...
that I'd be your loyal hunting dog.
You did.
Then was Won Ki Choon a failure?
You've failed.
I see.
It feels like a stake through the heart to actually hear it.
It hurts.
You should've put him behind this stand.
You should've let me condemn him from that table.
(Prosecutor)
Did you ask me to meet you here to tell me...
I had lost my prey?
It's not the result I wanted, but I wanted to share with you...
the end of the first hunt.
(Defendant)
There are still more we must put in this seat.
Hong Moo Sup.
Lee Jae Sik.
Heo Kang In. Yong Moon Gu.
And...
No Hwa Young.
Yes, sure. I'll work even harder, Ms. Dog Trainer.
Do you know something?
A hunting hound is so fierce, not even its owner can touch it.
You're wrong.
A true hunting hound lets none but its owner touch it.
Oh, okay.
You said I failed to get Won Ki Choon.
I have something to show you. Follow me.
(Confiscated from Won Ki Choon's Army Residence)
Won's the kind of guy who even wears his bulletproof vest on missions.
There's no way such a coward...
would've obeyed No Hwa Young without insurance.
That's my hunch.
You and your hunch.
You lack experience.
To people like me, my hunch...
is like big data I gathered from meeting hundreds of criminals.
You were an incredibly talented military prosecutor for five years.
Your data can't be completely useless.
I searched Won's army residence thoroughly.
Your hunt was a failure, but you got lots of trophies.
See if your hunch will tell you if anything here...
can be used as evidence.
I already picked something out.
(Daehan Bank)
Bankbooks.
(Law and Law)
(Yeonhwa Parking)
(Parking ticket)
A car key with a dead battery...
for a car that's in long-term parking.
It looks like it's nothing but I feel like there's something.
My hunch rubbed off on you.
Commander No's on her way to give a statement.
(Interrogation Room)
(Restricted, Staff Only)
(Do Be Man, Cha Woo In)
Let's begin.
State your name, rank, and division.
Those are the rules.
(No Hwa Young)
No Hwa Young, Major General.
4th Infantry Division Commander.
Confirmed.
Thank you for helping with the investigation of...
Lieutenant Colonel Won's suicide.
Ma'am.
You brought your lawyer to a simple proceeding.
May I ask why?
How rude of you.
As you said, this is a simple proceeding.
Remember your manners.
I just asked for a reason.
The two of you smashed...
a senior officer's prosthesis in court.
I'm here to stop you from going too far.
I think you're the one who's overreacting.
Let's cut to the chase and ask what you must.
Both of you.
You're the last person to see the lieutenant colonel alive.
What did you talk about in your office?
He confessed to what he did.
I told the staff judge advocate. Ask him.
Very well. We'll ask him.
Do you have proof that he confessed?
A subordinate came to me to confess his crimes and repent.
Should I have turned on the recorder?
I'm sorry to say there's no such evidence.
I'm the reason you got his arrest warrant so fast.
I didn't expect any thanks,
but I didn't think I'd be treated like this.
Where were you at around 11pm that night?
Why do you need to know that?
She's here only to give a statement.
It's fine. I'll answer.
I left work early because I was distraught about what he said.
What did you do then?
I went to my dorm and went to sleep.
Why? Do you not believe me?
Can you prove that?
What are they doing?
Check the log the guards fill in,
and the key card record for when she entered her dorm.
The guards' log...
is easy to tamper with.
We'll check that.
Before taking his own life, Won put a silencer on his gun...
so that no one would hear the shot.
What do you think about that?
You don't have to answer.
No.
I must gratify their curiosity.
He wouldn't have liked the fact that his body...
would be on display after he killed himself.
He'd have wanted to delay it as long as he could.
As a fellow soldier,
I understand completely.
Don't you?
(Cha Woo In)
(Do Be Man)
What do you have to say about his leg?
The person who cut it off is in this room.
That means it's one of you two.
Who is it?
It's...
you two sitting over there.
How interesting.
You're saying our investigation made Lieutenant Colonel Won...
Cut off his own leg and eventually kill himself.
It was your excessive investigation.
What Lieutenant Colonel Won did.
Was it a crime so grave that he had to pay with his life?
You two think about that.
We should go.
I bet his accomplice army surgeon Cho Soo Chan...
did the amputation.
Find him.
That's a tip from a senior who was once a prosecutor.
(Interrogation Room)
I have something to say to them.
I'll meet you in your office.
Good job, CEO Yong.
Salute.
That'll be the last time she comes in to give a statement.
She only did it out of courtesy...
to wish Lieutenant Colonel Won peace,
so any more of your disrespect will not be tolerated.
CEO Yong, as of today, you will refrain from...
stepping inside the interrogation room.
Didn't you step away from being an attorney...
when you took the job as CEO?
I'm glad you brought that up.
I had something to say to Captain Cha.
Now that you have my card,
I'd like you to know that the name IM will no longer exist.
I'm thinking about renaming it.
Former chairman Cha Ho Cheol...
and No Tae Nam...
have ruined the reputation of the company.
I will take it upon myself...
to clear the dooming shadows casting over it.
Then...
(Interrogation Room)
Yong Moon Gu.
He knows.
(The zealous elite troop, The 4th Infantry Division)
Commanding General Hong,
I appreciate you lifting the disciplinary penalty.
You asked me to spare some time for you...
just to thank me?
Gosh, sir. When else would I get the chance...
to meet you in person?
A military prosecutor only has to do his job right.
Keep up the good work.
Yes, sir.
That reminds me.
I hear that you used to be a military prosecutor as well.
Hasn't it been 20 years already?
Stand up straight, darn it!
You wimp.
Lack of evidence!
Cleared of allegations!
Non-indictment!
You vermin.
You piece of garbage.
(Military Investigator: Do Sung Hwan)
My loyalty will stand with you, Commanding General Hong.
You too, ma'am.
(Military Prosecutor Doberman)
Who are we hunting next?
Commanding General Hong Moo Sup.
There's something I'm suspicious of.
There's a frequent change in housekeeping soldiers.
I can already smell it.
Abuse of power, I mean.
You're being treated like a slave, aren't you?
Don't you remember me?
Have you ever sided with the victim of power abuse before?
- Salute! - Power is a drug, you see.
One that is even more addictive than money.
Those who hold grudges or hostility against me...
must be under my observation.
I'm sure you'll find a way, Captain Do.
