[ Characters, organizations, incidents, and situations in this drama are fictitious ]
You're definitely the ace inspector of the Human Rights Commission.
I'm Reporter Jo Sung Joon from Current Events Now.
I can't tell you about the case currently being investigated.
There's nothing you can do without the right to indict.
Former mayor Choi Jong Bok who was charged with sexual harassment
was placed under arrest.
So the plaintiff is the victim, and the defendant is the offender, right?
We won't know that until we finish the investigation.
Why do you think we can just easily defend a defendant
who's involved in a criminal case?
At the HRC,
we don't determine if a crime was committed or not.
Whether you're willing to resolve this case...
You can demand to replace the inspector.
- I'll be on my way right now. - How about the report?
I'll submit it after I interview the last witness.
[ Han Yoon Seo = Inspector who is always running around ]
- What are you doing here... - What are you doing here...
- Well, I'm meeting someone... - I'm meeting someone...
I got a call. Hurry up!
Well, have you heard of the HRC...
Hello, I'm Inspector Han Yoon Seo from the Human Rights Commission.
You can tell me about what happened.
[ Han Yoon Seo = Has unexpectedly friendly and empathetic charm ]
Just keep reading the written testimonies...
What a freaking joke.
A**hole, how dare you tell me what to do?
- Excuse me... - Apparently he said that too.
A 35-year-old said that to a 59-year-old.
[ Han Yoon Seo = Has excellent chemistry with Prosecutor Bae ]
I said I'm getting dressed!
It won't be so bad to be the first prosecutor to admit that he's wrong.
Hand him over to the police.
You're under arrest without a warrant for Namchun Apartment Murder.
[ Episode 7 ] [ National Forensics Service ]
He was found dead in a flophouse outside of Seoul.
It's impossible to identify him just by looking at this point.
His belongings tell us that he was a former detective.
His age and physique seem to be similar to Chief's.
I think we found your father.
[ Evidence analysis room ]
[ In the name of the father ]
Freeze. Show your hands.
If you move, I'll shoot.
Private Jung!
Second Lieutenant Lee Sung Woo,
who saved his platoon member during the PMD Mine Accident,
and injured Sergeant Choi Du Shik were
each awarded Order of National Security Merit.
Private Jung Nam Soo, who passed away during this accident,
received the highest honors and was laid in the National Cemetery.
And the father of Second Lieutenant Lee Sung Woo who led his platoon with
his exceptional military spirit
is a current three-star general and is garnering attention.
As a boy, he wanted to become a soldier like his father...
Yes.
Hello?
This is him.
Pardon?
What did you say?
Is that...
really true?
Hello?
I'll get going then.
Inspector Lee, by chance...
Do you happen to have HRC's envelopes?
- Here you go. - Aigoo, thank you.
Sure.
Is there a reason why you send letters to your son in the HRC's envelope?
Well...
If his seniors knew his father works for the HRC, they might...
I see.
Have a nice weekend!
I'll get going!
See you!
Aren't you going home?
I'll finish up the report first. Go ahead.
Chief!
What are you doing? I'm here.
When did you come out here?
Well, it's Friday.
I just texted my wife that I'm heading home.
Well, okay then. Have a nice weekend.
Enjoy your...
whelks.
There is no statute of limitations for human rights.
Why?
Human rights is a philosophy protected by the constitution.
If one's precious human rights get violated at some point somewhere,
HRC must investigate until the end and
punish the ones that need to be punished and...
Aigoo, you've been talking nonstop since this morning.
Doesn't your tongue get tired at all?
How come you never get tired?
Only if you went through what I went through.
You'd never get tired.
Aigoo, what happened to you now?
It's a bit of a long story.
Right, do you have plans later tonight?
No.
Hey, Security!
Come here.
What is it?
Do you like makgeolli by chance?
Cheers! It's my treat.
Eat as much as you want.
This should take care of the nighttime parking fine.
That can't be!
What do you mean? How dare you look at me like that?
Well, I appreciate the gesture,
but I'd be breaking the Anti-graft Law if I let you treat me.
I'll pay the tab tonight. Enjoy yourselves.
I'll have to abide if that's the law.
Hey, Security. Get two more bottles of makgeolli.
Okay.
Excuse me, two bottles of makgeolli, please.
Okay.
Hong Tae.
You think I'm weird too?
Are you seriously asking that?
- Whoever thinks you're not is weird. - What?
Aigoo, come on, come on.
Let's drink.
Cheers.
Has it been 25 years?
I joined the military when I was a sophomore at Hanguk University.
- Reporting! - Report.
[ Kim Hak Joon: the company commander of 24th Mechanized Infantry Division ]
Everyone, attention!
- Salute! - Salute!
The 3rd squad of the 3rd platoon will start the roll call.
On the first day I was assigned to a squad,
the 70 members of the squad did a roll call.
I was so nervous because I was just a squaddie.
They started counting starting with the highest-ranking soldier.
I was so nervous when it was about to be my turn.
And when it was my turn, I completely blanked out all of a sudden.
I couldn't think of my number at all.
Seventieth!
We have a funny inductee.
Seventieth.
End of roll-call!
Hey, you stupid idiot!
Pardon? I didn't catch that...
I'm sorry!
For some reason...
I couldn't remember "seventy" then.
Since that day,
do you know how much the platoon leader harassed me until I was discharged?
If I ever run into him on the street, I want to be like...
"You son of a b****!"
That's what I want to say.
Aigoo, that's why you ended up this way.
What? Are you serious...
But you still shouldn't forge your academic record.
You didn't go to Hanguk University.
Aigoo, are you kidding? I even graduated.
Why would a college graduate live like that?
That makes no sense.
You're driving me crazy!
Why don't you go crazy at the karaoke later?
Seriously...
Excuse me.
Don't eat.
- Put it down. - No.
Hey, Attorney Woo.
It's been a while.
I know.
You're a busy human rights lawyer. What's up?
I'm not busy at all.
- I heard you were sent to the HRC. - Prosecutor Bae!
- We'll order a fish egg stew. - How is it going?
Well, you know how it is.
I was shocked.
I thought you were sent there for interrogation.
But you're an inspector?
I know. I'm shocked myself too.
Could we meet if you're not busy?
Right now?
Well, I can't tonight.
Hello?
Is anyone here?
What's this? He made me come all this way.
Prosecutor Bae.
Aigoo, you scared me.
Thank you for coming all the way here.
So what's this about?
You called me after ten years and asked me to come here.
[ Woo Tae Sun: attorney at the law firm, "On the Same Path"/36th class of Judicial Institute ]
I wanted to lobby you.
Lobby?
We should go out to the lobby then. This is a room.
You got funny.
So what is it?
Is it hard to make a living as a human rights lawyer?
Yes, just one second.
Mr. Jung, come inside.
This is...
Mr. Jung.
He helped me a lot as a transport officer when I was a JAG.
He is the inspector from HRC I mentioned.
Thank you in advance.
I wouldn't have called you if you were still a prosecutor.
I called you as an inspector of HRC. Relax.
Yes, I'm Bae Hong Tae.
He injured his leg when he was a sergeant first class.
So he was discharged due to medical hardship.
And he owns this karaoke now.
Have a seat first.
By the way, what's the important matter you were referring to?
Have you heard of the PMD Mine Accident
at the DMZ that happened in July?
PMD Mine Accident?
Yes, I think I've heard of it.
There was a landmine explosion at the DMZ
and several soldiers got injured, and one died, right?
Yes.
The soldier who died
is my son.
[ 16th Division of the Reconnaissance Battalions ]
[ Choi Du Shik: sergeant of 16th Division of the Reconnaissance Battalions ]
[ Jung Nam Soo: private of 16th Division of the Reconnaissance Battalions ]
[ 00:07 - Started night ambush operation ]
Geez. These mosquitos.
You have mosquito repellent, right?
Yes, I brought one.
Give it to me.
Hey, it's almost gone.
There's only enough for one person.
I'm sorry, I didn't check.
There will be a lot of mosquitos since it rained yesterday.
I'm okay. You can use it.
- Close your eyes. - Pardon?
Close your eyes, I said.
Thank you.
- Make sure you have enough next time. - Yes, sir.
Hey, over there...
Freeze.
Show your hands. If you move, I'll shoot.
- Tuna. - Autumn.
Who are you?
It's the platoon leader.
Salute.
Bread and milk.
Anything unusual?
- There's none, right? - Yes, nothing unusual.
It's hard to track time since there's no moonlight tonight.
- Be more alert than usual. - Yes, sir.
Platoon Leader.
I'm sorry, but do you have a mosquito repellent?
- Thank you. - Carry on.
I'll spray it on you.
- Could you? - Yes.
Hold on!
Hold on, hold on, hold on!
Hey! Is this a CBR training or something?
No, sir.
[ 04:32 - An explosion occurred during the night ambush operation ] Sergeant Choi, Sergeant Choi!
[ 04:32 - An explosion occurred during the night ambush operation ]
Sergeant Choi.
Private Jung.
We have a situation.
We have a situation!
There's a casualty in our troop due to the PMD mine!
A casualty in our troop!
Platoon...
Platoon Leader.
Please... please save me.
Sergeant Choi.
Platoon...
Platoon Leader.
Du... Du Shik.
The entire ambush team must evacuate within the hour.
A landmine exploded.
Everyone, evacuate through the Southern gate!
Everyone evacuate!
We want a report from each troop.
Report them first and tell each unit to prepare for the emergency!
Contact the recon's situation room!
- Please report the situation. - To which direction was it?
What's the situation there?
Within an hour...
His heart rate is speeding up.
Let's go!
[ 05:40 - Sergeant Choi was sent to the military hospital ]
The soldiers in the middle of an ambush operation in the DMZ
[ Landmine explosion at the DMZ... 1 died, 2 injured ] stepped on a PMD mine. One died
and two of them were injured as a result.
Ministry of National Defense formed an investigation team
and we'll be investigating this accident in detail.
We'll determine whether the PMD mine was swept through rain
or the North Korean military planted it there.
We'll keep all possiblities open
and do our best to determine the cause.
[ Lee Sung Woo: Second Lieutenant of the 16th Division of the Reconnaissance Battalions ]
[ Father ]
Kim Bu Chul, the Minister of National Defense,
visited Second Lieutenant Lee Sung Woo,
who sacrificed himself to save his comrade
to celebrate him and to convey his sympathy.
Are you feeling all right?
During an interview, Second Lieutenant Lee said
he only did his duty as a platoon leader
and he'll quickly return to the platoon to complete the mission.
It was my duty as a platoon leader.
I'll return to the platoon soon and complete the mission.
However, deceased Private Jung had joined the military later in life
after having a child at the age of 22
which saddens everyone who hears the news.
The military...
will do everything we can for
Private Jung Nam Soo, who passed away on duty.
I promise that we'll provide
as much pension as we can
for Private Jung's wife and his child.
Yes...
That's what I heard...
from the military about the case.
But Inspector...
the PMD Mine Accident...
was fabricated from the beginning
to the end.
Pardon?
But Inspector...
Yes.
The PMD Mine Accident...
was fabricated from the beginning
to the end.
Private Jung is currently buried at the National Cemetry.
Mr. Jung went along with whatever the military suggested
since he was distressed from his son's death.
He believed the military's announcement since he was in the military too.
But he later realized that
the military behaved strangely from the beginning.
They said the funeral needs to be held quickly, and everything was done in a rush.
Although it was severely damaged,
he didn't get to have a good look at his son's body.
What exactly was the military's attitude
that Private Jung's father found strange?
Thinking about it carefully now,
a lot of the military's announcement
didn't make a lot of sense.
They said Second Lieutenant Lee was injured,
but when I went to the military hospital after hearing the news,
Second Lieutenant Lee seemed perfectly fine.
He wasn't visibly injured at all?
There was a small wound on the right side of his face.
But nothing else other than that.
And the time of the explosion they told me initially
didn't match the time they told the media either.
[ The time of the explosion? ]
And while leaving the National Cemetry after burying my son...
Yes.
Hello?
This is Nam Soo's father, right?
Yes.
This is him.
Private Jung's death...
- was fabricated. - Pardon?
What... what did you say?
Is that...
really true?
Hello?
Private Jung apparently called the military helpline
a day before the accident as well.
The military helpline is affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense, right?
If so, I couldn't have looked into it.
It's a private organization.
They counsel soldiers regarding bullying or assault in the military.
But the military doesn't acknowledge them.
Do you guarantee anonymity?
Yes, of course.
We never disclose any information.
I'm Private Jung Nam Soo of 16th Division of the Reconnaissance Battalions.
How can I help you?
I called the wrong number.
- I'm sorry. - Hello?
I...
worked as the noncommissioned officer
in the army for almost 20 years.
I wanted to trust the military
but I had all these doubts.
I couldn't focus on work either.
I was miserable even though I go about my life.
But then...
Attorney Woo suggested consulting with HRC.
I see.
The military never reveals their fault.
Because they can easily hide the truth.
And this is...
something Attorney Woo doesn't even know about.
A few days ago, on my birthday,
someone left this letter here.
[ Happy birthday, Father ]
Who do you think sent me this?
It might sound crazy,
but I feel like...
my son might be alive.
The military is...
definitely hiding something.
- The military gave you your son's phone, right? - Yes.
I brought it because I thought it might help with the investigation.
As a father...
I should at least know how my child died.
Even if my son can't come back alive,
I really...
want to know the truth. That's all.
I'm...
not in very good health.
So I can't get a proper job either.
He always worried about his pathetic father.
But he always...
smiled so brightly.
Saying he's now a father too.
Chief.
Shouldn't we start the investigation immediately?
The thing is...
it's not so easy to investigate the military.
If we give them one reason we need to investigate,
they'd give us a hundred reasons why they can't cooperate.
But we can't just let this slide either.
Mr. Jung can't take this to the police nor the prosecution.
And since the case is already closed,
the military won't reinvestigate it either.
That's why I demanded the military to implement a human rights protection system.
But the National Assembly isn't doing anything.
Since we received an appeal,
let's investigate the scene.
It'd be important to determine whether
human rights were violated, or brutality occurred during the fabrication.
If we find evidence of a constant violation of human rights within the troop,
we'll start the ex officio investigation.
Okay.
What's an ex officio investigation?
An ex officio investigation.
Even without an appeal, there's a serious issue at hand
and human rights have been violated significantly,
then we investigate firsthand.
In this case, we'll be conducting an ex officio investigation
in order to expand the scope.
Thank you...
for explaining loudly.
- Chief. - Yes.
I think it'd be better to have Inspector Bae as
the lead inspector since he's been in the military.
Okay, sounds good.
What do you think?
Well, the thing is...
What?
No need to feel pressured. Just do as you usually do.
No, I've been in the military, but...
I was in public service.
How come all high ranking officials were either exempted or in public service?
Well, everyone misunderstands, but...
it's not like that. I had a situation.
Inspector Han can take the lead as usual then.
Okay.
Salute. How can I help you?
I have a meeting with the division commander.
Okay, please wait for a second.
[ Headquarters of the 16th Division ]
What's he taking so long?
I thought the military was all about being punctual.
Geez, they should get it together.
Please have a seat.
[ Kim Hak Joon: Division Commander of the 16th Division ]
I heard a lot about you.
I'm the division commander.
I'm Inspector Han Yoon Seo of the Human Rights Commission.
I'm Bae Hong Tae.
As you can see, we're in the middle of training. I don't have much time.
What did you request the meeting for?
I request the military investigation report on the PMD Mine Accident.
Please allow us to visit the accident scene as well.
What is the reason?
We're investigating whether human rights have been violated in this case.
The investigation report is...
classified as a national security secret.
It's difficult to disclose.
And to be able to visit the accident scene,
you need the approval from the UN
since it's in the DMZ.
I believe we can if it's about the fatal incident.
Since we received an appeal, the HRC
has the right to see the investigation report.
If we decide to do an ex officio investigation,
we can demand a lot more as well.
I think you're saying you can't trust the military.
How do you sleep at night if that's the case?
What is it that you want?
What do you mean exactly?
The military...
lives and dies for honor, as you may know.
Why are you bothering us about a case that has been investigated already?
That's what I mean.
What would be the point of
discouraging our morale by doing that?
But what does our investigation
have to do with discouraging the morale?
You don't know about the military these days, huh?
This isn't the military.
It's just a military simulation.
People are weakening the military by bringing up human rights.
That's why the soldiers become weaker and weaker
and they become less disciplined.
That's how it is.
Saying the soldiers are less disciplined if you protect their human rights
sounds like you aren't confident about your leadership.
Human Rights Commission...
You protect human rights, right?
Yes, that's correct.
This is...
the frontline where we confront the enemy face-to-face.
This place is decimated in 15 minutes if the war breaks out.
And it's our duty to...
survive that 15 minutes.
You protect human rights outside the military.
This isn't a place for that.
Right.
Your goal is to make the military a comfortable place,
but our goal is
to make the military
as strong as possible.
Yes, Inspector Han.
Whoa. The chief was right. This isn't easy.
Brief Chief about our visit and
ask for permission to start an ex officio investigation ASAP.
Okay.
What made you request an ex officio investigation?
We confirmed that Private Jung called the military helpline
and asked for help online on his phone.
It's evident that they've been violating his human rights habitually.
By the way, that ex officio investigation...
Who decides on that?
The chairwoman and the committee members.
Detective Jang, this is Yoon Seo.
Did you get the result by chance?
I was about to call you.
They didn't get the result yet.
They just called and said it'd take a few more days.
The committee granted us to conduct the ex officio investigation.
Send an official letter to the troop and request for the investigation report first.
Inspector Lee, request assistance to the director of the policy division.
Okay!
We don't have much time. Let's hurry up!
Okay.
Minister, have you been well?
Aigoo, Chairwoman An. Have you been well?
I didn't get to congratulate you on taking office.
There's no need.
I'm busy getting criticized by everyone these days.
It's already been over 15 years since we worked together.
You were the public information officer at the Ministry of National Defense.
I know. Time sure flies.
We argued a lot when we ran the joint inspection team
for human rights in the military.
I didn't tell you this then,
but everyone hated me for appointing you
as the citizen advisory board back then.
For bothering the military too much.
I see.
But...
among the soldiers I've met,
you were the first one to show genuine interest in human rights in the military.
in improving human rights in the military.
You flatter me too much.
But unfortunately...
I'm about to put you in
a difficult position once again.
You're scaring me now.
You know the PMD Mine Accident that happened in July?
Yes.
We got an appeal from the families
of the victims requesting a reinvestigation.
So, as a result of our inspectors' review of this case,
we decided to conduct an ex officio investigation.
All right.
The military will...
do our best to cooperate with the HRC investigation.
Thank you.
- Chairwoman. - Yes.
I request a thorough investigation.
Yes, sir.
We'll be thorough all right.

It was 05:40 when Sergeant Choi was transferred to the military hospital.
If the accident did happen at 2:27 a.m.
as reported by the media,
it means it took more than three hours.
Why would it have taken that long?
Also the first media briefing document
and the final investigation report released by the Ministry of National Defense
don't match very well either.
We still haven't received the initial report of the situation.
We have it ready.
Adjutant!
As I mentioned,
we'll give you three days to investigate this case.
This is our first time allowing civilians to
conduct investigation in the DMZ since the founding of the army.
Feel free to enter the frontline army base,
interview the military personnel,
and observe the operation.
You can conduct the investigation freely.
You might find it uncomfortable,
but we prepared the spare executive lodging.
If you need any assistance or cooperation from us,
feel free to let us know us anytime.
Thank you.
But one thing.
Since this is the frontline,
we ask you to follow basic rules
for your safety.
First Lieutenant Kim, show them out.
The frontline troop receives
a much stricter training than in any other regions.
Because they're near the military demarcation line
and civilian access control line,
they have to...
Aigoo, it's so boring.
It's so boring.
- To protect the country... - Where are you going?
Do they want us to watch it or fall asleep?
Stop the car in front of us.
Why?
It takes 30 minutes to get to the camp,
but it's been more than an hour.
If we turn left, we're taking a detour through the mountain.
What's going on?
Why is this taking so long, anyway?
It took a while since we drove on the tactical road.
Shouldn't we turn right to get to the camp?
Well...
The road got washed away during the rainy season. It's under construction.
Let's continue if there aren't any other problems.
Salute!
Salute.
I'm Second Lieutenant Lee Sung Woo of the 16th division of the recon.
Thanks for coming all the way here.
I'll lead the way from here.
Salute!
Please read through and sign below.
[ We'll abide the safety rules during the investigation ]
[ We won't get separated from the group and engage separately ]
[ Each individual is liable for his own should any accidents occur ]
Must you do this to this extent?
What are we doing here?
You'll be staying in this room
and the adjacent room for two nights.
Please change into the combat uniform we provided
and attend the day ambush operation at 13:00.
[ Landmine area ]
[ Deodeok (bellflower) is the enemy ]
Excuse me.
Why is deodeok the enemy?
At times, soldiers go in there to dig for deodeok
and step on mines.
Are there that many mines?
You see the sign that says, "mine?"
Look behind that.
Those are the mines that weren't detonated.
There are that many?
Yes.
If you take one step away from the safe zone,
you might step on a mine.
Never get separated from the advance guard.
Do you on go ambush operations every day like this?
Yes.
The day team and the night team are on
ambush operation 365 days a year without exception.
This is the #31 ambush station where the mine exploded.
What is this?
Pardon?
You can't destroy the accident scene like this.
A casualty occurred due to mine explosion.
Even though we're soldiers,
we don't let each other work where the fellow soldier died.
This isn't a special case.
Guard posts where casualties occurred usually get shut down.
So there were two explosions here.
Yes, that's correct.
You were injured that day, too, right?
Yes.
I got injured on my face and shoulders.
But I'm all healed now.
They tricked us completely yesterday.
They're dragging us here and there pretending to cooperate
and killing time. That seems to be the plan.
The clock at the Ministry of National Defense is ticking in the meantime.
Gosh, one out of three days is gone like that.
Geez...
What's going on?
It's nothing.
- Salute! - Salute!
Aigoo, our dear inspectors.
Did the investigation go well yesterday?
We found your cooperation very helpful.
Here are the adjutants you wanted to interview today.
Provide thoughtful answers to their questions.
Yes, sir!
Since I have a meeting with the admiral,
I won't be able to see you when you leave.
I'll notify the troop as soon as we get the investigation result.
Inspector.
Yes.
You should do a good job with the investigation.
The honor of the Korean military depends on your investigation.
Don't worry.
I'll do a good job for the honor of the Human Rights Commission.
Is that right?
- Yes. - You know how it is.
[ Military Police ]
You were the situation officer during the accident, correct?
Yes, correct.
What time did you first receive a report regarding the situation?
It was 04:32.
Why does the timetable keep changing anyway?
It's not like we're always staring at the clock.
Everyone reporting has their own perception of time.
Do you find your job difficult at all?
It's a bit difficult,
but it's something I need to overcome as a guard.
Could you describe the situation when the mine exploded?
The platoon leader ordered us to evacuate
and we waited at the gate.
And after a while...
the platoon leader crawled out with Sergeant Choi.
You were the first one to arrive at the scene, correct?
Yes, we go to the scenes first to investigate.
After the accident,
didn't it take too long for Sergeant Choi
to arrive at the hospital?
The medical helicopter was outdated at the time.
So it wasn't ready to be used.
We had no choice but to call 911
but no planes are allowed at night in the DMZ area.
A lot of time passed trying to figure that out.
- How was the atmosphere within the troop? - It was nice.
Life in the barracks was comfortable, and the seniors took care of us.
You have one less person in the troop since the accident.
Yes, he was discharged.
- And the platoon sergeant? - He's on vacation right now.
- When is he coming back? - He's coming back tomorrow.
There's a record that Private Jung Nam Soo contacted the military helpline.
Did you receive a separate report on that?
Pardon?
As I heard from the platoon leader, he had a difficult time adjusting.
But he said it's nothing serious.
What's the platoon leader like?
He's a very nice person.
I think he's a real soldier.
Could you get Second Lieutenant Lee for me?
Second Lieutenant Lee, you said?
[ Lee Jung Soo: 10th Division Commander of the Army ]
What was Private Jung like?
He was quiet and kind.
Did he have a difficult time in the military or have any personal problems?
No, not that I know of.
You never reported anyone about that either?
No.
Come on in.
Salute!
Do you remember me, Sergeant Major?
Of course, I do.
Company Commander!
Aigoo...
You know...
everyone's memory is too accurate.
As though they rehearsed it.
I know.
All the soldiers are...
giving us set answers.
We haven't gained anything yet.
There's one.
What is it?
That Second Lieutenant Lee is lying.
Lying?
Second Lieutenant Lee knew that Private Jung had a difficult time in the military,
but he lied to me saying he didn't know.
Even though he reported to the company commander.
And according to Private Jung's father,
Second Lieutenant Lee was injured on the right side of his face.
You were injured that day too, right?
Yes.
I got injured on my face and shoulders.
How could he be confused about where he got injured?
I aged a lot, didn't I?
Not at all.
You're still the same.
Company Commander.
Are you by chance...
I'm the corps commander now.
Aigoo.
Congratulations!
By the way...
how did you know I was here?
Sergeant Major.
Yes.
I'm...
Second Lieutenant Lee's father.
Pardon?
Second Lieutenant Lee is my son.
Well...
I see.
Sergeant Major.
I need you to stop...
the HRC investigation.

♪ You were just a little girl ♪
♪ And you had a violet in your hair ♪
Were you wearing the night vision goggles at the time of the accident?
Pardon? I don't really remember.
I can't provide you the file.
I believe our troop has the right to refuse to hand in documents.
Do you guarantee anonymity?
You think the military guarantees anonymity?
Fear controls the military, not loyalty.
I thought it might not be a simple mine accident.
You don't get wounds like this with PMD mines.
Corps Commander.
- Second Lieutenant Lee... - I believe everything should be revealed.
He left the post.
Hurry up and find him, so that it won't leak to the outside world.
