A FEW DAYS AGO

[Eun] What's going on with the USB?

[Beom-gu] We left it with a shop we know

through one of our administrative soldiers.

[Eun] I trust you'll take good care of it.

It could be very important to us.

[breathing nervously]

[sniffs]

[uneasy music playing]

We've met, yeah?

I'm Seo Eun, and I'll be your attorney from now on.

I opened my law firm a week ago.

[Ru-ri exhales sharply]

But, um…

I'm pretty sure I didn't appoint any attorney, though.

Well, you didn't appoint me directly, yourself.

We're suing the government for compensation.

And your case is part of it.

SEO EUN, ATTORNEY

GOVERNMENT COMPENSATION ARMY CLASS ACTIONS

Soon you'll be handed a death sentence by the court.

You want to be locked up behind bars for your whole life?

I'm not doing this because I like you.

But I…

I-I killed people. I… I shot them, though.

[Eun] And?

You will take all the fault?

Do you want that?

[exhales]

Yeah, but why would you want…

There's nobody else on your team.

Not even yourself.

Because of people like me.

[Hye-yeon] The government is also at fault here.

[inhales] And if it's true,

and they are at fault…

then why didn't you do anything?

What?

If he was so kind and diligent, why didn't you do anything…

[pensive music playing]

[inhales] …when he was getting bullied?

11. AN JUN-HO

[store employee sighs]

Gi-yeong said to unlock it, so I worked on it as it was.

390 DAYS UNTIL DISCHARGE

But no matter what you do, it can't be copied.

And you can't send the files.

Anyway, I just have to give you back the USB, right?

Uh, yes.

All right, let me remove it, then.

[Jun-ho] Wait…

I'll have a quick look.

Okay. Here, just make yourself at home.

MEDICAL OPINION JEONG HYEONG-BEOM

[mouse scrolling]

[Jun-ho] "After the shooting incident by Kim Ru-ri,

the wounded Corporal Jeong Hyeong-beom…"

[Jun-ho] It wasn't an immediate death, but an injury?

[Hyeong-beom breathing shakily]

[breathing heavily]

[Hyeong-beom breathing heavily]

"Died waiting for a rescue helicopter."

[pained screaming]

[Jun-ho] If the delay in rescue by the commander is exposed,

those involved will face disciplinary action,

and critical public sentiment toward the military leadership are expected.

[Jun-ho breathing nervously]

[unsettling music playing]

[breathing shakily]

[soft whirring]

[Ru-ri] Here, and like this.

Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

-[cameras clicking in distance] -[woman crying]

[Ru-ri] Next. Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

-[woman] Cheol-gyu. [sobs] -Hey. Right this down.

-And then… Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta--ta-ta… -Cheol-gyu!

CORPORAL JEONG HYEONG-BEOM

[victim's dad] I never got a chance to be good to you.

-Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta--ta-ta… -[sobbing]

[officer] Okay, so was it only in this direction?

-My baby! My God! [sobs] -[victim's dad] I didn't do anything good…

-Oh, my god! [wails] -[victim's dad] I'm so sorry.

[sniffles]

[officer] Sergeant Jung, take pictures of the left-hand side and then the right.

[cameras clicking continuously]

[Ja-woon] Critically injured, Private First Class Song Min-sang.

Private Oh Hyeon-jin.

Private Lee Yun-jin.

Private Park Yun-hui.

Killed, Sergeant Park Cheol-gyu.

Corporal Jeong Hyeong-beom.

[cameras clicking]

Yes.

As you witnessed in the demonstration previous…

[sniffles]

…during the first round of shots fired by Kim Ru-ri,

Corporal Jeong Hyeong-beom was shot in his thigh.

His femoral artery was penetrated,

-and he died immediately. -[Eun] Excuse me.

Was there no prompt action taken before Corporal Jeong Hyeong-beom's death

and the desertion of Kim Ru-ri?

[Ja-woon] The death was immediate, so what sort of prompt action do you mean?

[cameras clicking]

Since you came all the way out to this base,

you can appreciate how remote it is,

far from other bases and medical facilities.

So the first reports of the incident were delayed.

[Hye-yeon] Excuse me.

From what I can tell, Division Records give 11:37 p.m.

as the time the incident was first recognized.

What I don't understand, though,

is the record stating that after the officer on duty heard the gunshots,

he contacted Division Headquarters through the emergency network.

Then that would mean that almost an hour and a half just went by

-before the Response Team arrived. -We're still…

-[sighs] -[cameras clicking]

still in the midst of organizing the information.

So, please, wait a little bit longer.

-General, I have a question! -I have a question.

-Aren't you taking questions? -Why the delay in the autopsy results?

-Please respond. -Boy, all these complete idiots.

-I have a question. Sir, please wait! -One comment, please!

-General! -Please answer our questions, sir.

Shouldn't you be answering these questions?

-Sir! Sir! -[reporter groans]

[reporter] General, why won't you answer our questions?

-General! General! -Sir, one comment!

We have questions for you.

Shin Hye-yeon, right?

You're a manager at the human rights organization?

I'm Seo Eun, and you and I will be working together.

on the class action lawsuit.

Pleasure to meet you.

Ah, nice to meet you.

[inhales sharply] One thing.

If you continue to poke and prod them so openly…

it might make things harder.

It's like… trying to hit a rock with an egg.

What's so bad about that, though?

The egg will get… [chuckles] broken.

But it still leaves a remnant.

The rock will be covered in egg.

Okay. I didn't mean to offend you.

See you around.

[phone buzzing]

[buzzing continues]

Go ahead.

[Jun-ho] Ms. Shin Hye-yeon?

Yes, that's correct.

I have a tip for you.

The information about the Kim Ru-ri incident--

And who am talking with?

I'll tell you in person.

We have procedures here. First, email the information to me…

The cause of death for Jeong Hyeong-beom…

was hypoglycemic shock.

It was excessive bleeding.

If they'd been fast…

No, if they'd taken action even within an hour, he could have lived.

[somber music playing]

[inhales sharply]

Well, if you want to seem credible, you can't just…

-And if this is just a prank-- -[Jun-ho] Daejeon Memorial Park.

What?

The columbarium. That's where we'll meet.

And how do you know…

[Jun-ho] I'll call you again with a time.

-[telephone clanks] -[coin clinks]

[line disconnects]

[Gi-yeong sighs]

Still can't contact him?

Jun-ho's family… Have you been calling?

There's nothing coming up after the bus terminal.

And he gave fake numbers for his whole family.

So, should I… call Captain Lim about this?

He's on vacation for right now.

He's been handling a lot so leave him alone. [sighs]

Pack your bags and go home already, Mr. Civilian.

Don't make any stupid decisions.

The Military Service Act says,

the discharge of an active duty serviceman may be postponed

in order to participate in exercises or important trainings.

You mad bastard.

-[chair clattering] -[sighs]

[exhales]

If Jun-ho has actually deserted,

who else can track him down?

I have to agree with him.

[sighs deeply] Shit.

-[Su-jin] I mean, this is way too much. -[door opens]

How many times are you going to call?

[sighs] I said I don't know.

How many times do I have to say it?

I really don't know.

It doesn't matter if he's my brother.

I keep trying to tell you, I don't know.

Stop calling me.

Hey, Mom, have you spoken to him?

[Su-jin sighs] Seriously, Jun-ho deserted?

What's his problem?

What a thoughtless bastard.

Your brother is not a thoughtless person.

[Su-jin] Mom!

Are you taking my brother's side?

[sighs] Gosh, I wish I was born first.

-Come on. -[doorbell rings]

-[Su-jin] Again? -[ringing continues]

[Su-jin sighs]

Let me answer it.

[doorbell ringing]

[door opening]

[Jun-ho's mom] I've been waiting for you.

And not anyone else.

Since you're his friend.

I'm very sorry.

[Beom-gu] Jun-ho…

We need to bring Jun-ho back. I think that will be safe.

So if Jun-ho happened to call you--

Tell me something first, then.

Did Jun-ho…

do something really wrong?

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

Uh, no.

He hasn't done anything bad.

[somber music playing]

[Ho-yeol] But the thing is…

he could be in danger.

We can't let him be in danger.

[Jun-ho's mom] Jun-ho came by here.

Did he? You spoke with him, then?

[tense music playing]

MOM, I'M OKAY THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO DO

I'LL GET IT DONE AND THEN GO BACK

[Ho-yeol sighs] Just as we expected.

What we were afraid of.

[Beom-gu] What is he trying to do?

[Ho-yeol] I'll just make one call.

[line ringing]

Gi-yeong, hello. We talked with Jun-ho's mother.

And Jun-ho did come by here.

[man on TV] Yeah. If you look closely, this male is a lot larger than the female.

[Beom-gu] Ma'am, try not to worry too much.

-[Jun-ho's dad exhales] -We'll do everything we can to find him.

Mmm. Mmm…

I have missed eating beef.

-Mmm… -[Min-u] Well, eat up.

After all, this is your tax money.

[beef sizzling]

[Jun-ho's dad] You have such a nice way of putting things.

Ah! A meal with no pressure?

Sounds good to me. Okay, yeah. [chuckles]

[utensil clattering]

It's tax money, yeah?

No pressure once again.

It feels pretty absurd to be saying this here,

but your son's a…

-[woman] Sit. -…pitiful bastard.

Don't worry about another man's son.

-But you, I'm worried about. -[woman] Yes, one moment.

Just because I tell you things, you think you can capture my son?

Hmm? [laughing]

[man] Uh, can we have some more sauce?

Let's hear what you got for me.

[intriguing music playing]

[Ja-woon] It seems An Jun-ho is trying to leak the information on the USB drive.

It could influence the lawsuit.

We have to take care of it, no matter what.

But the USB can't be copied, so as long as we catch him, we're good.

Wait a minute.

I thought of somewhere to go.

For certainty.

Keep on checking the list of classmates and all the locations from his mother.

-And track his location. -His cards, keep checking his debit cards.

And stay on top of that fake email too.

The IP should be traceable.

Yes, okay.

Hey, but…

You think any of this will help us find him?

I don't. Only because he was trained by the best.

Little shit.

Then do the other thing.

-I'm sorry, sir? -You know, your method.

Do that Hollywood thing.

Oh, you want me to do an embodiment?

Yeah, so we can get into his head.

[chuckles]

If I were him, then…

then I'd be calling me, right now.

[laughs] Are you insane?

Calling a D.P. as you're deserting?

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

[Jun-ho] Sergeant Han, it's An Jun-ho.

Hey, you crazy bastard! Where are you? Get back now!

[tires screech]

[Jun-ho] I know you're with Sergeant Park.

Is it just the two of you?

It's just us.

Hey, Jun-ho.

Well, obviously, I don't understand your motivations.

-That USB-- -Sir, did you know about this?

What about it?

If you'd seen what was on the USB…

you'd have done the same thing as me.

Hey, Jun-ho.

About the contents, I swear I had no information.

GI-YEONG, TALKING TO JUN-HO ON PHONE TRACE LOCATION

[Beom-gu] I won't say something pathetic like, "Some things can't be helped."

All right?

But we…

It is our duty to keep you safe.

This isn't something you can handle, punk!

Don't be a savior.

-[Jun-ho] Then who's going to? -What?

If it just can't be helped, after all,

If that's the problem…

then who the hell is gonna deal with it, huh?

Hey, Jun-ho, why is this your business?

Jun-ho, I'm going to capture you.

I really have to.

I know you have to.

[Ho-yeol] You just wait and see.

[sighs]

[pensive music playing]

[Jun-ho breathing deeply]

[Jun-ho groans]

[Suk-bong] Seriously, why?

[exhales deeply]

Why does it have to be you?

I don't know either.

[Suk-bong] Do you think you'll be at ease if you do this?

[unsettling music playing]

[breathes deeply]

Do we have his location yet?

Let me check.

[line ringing]

[Gi-yeong] You know how good I am, right?

It's a café near Gwangmyeong Subway.

If he's at a station,

it looks like he's trying to go somewhere.

Call Gwangmyeong Subway and ask them for cooperation, then report back to us.

No, no.

What you suspect, just go with it. Report to me later.

Sir, I'll meet expectations.

You heard that?

[keyboard clacking]

Yes, I'm already expediting, sir!

Yes, very good. You're becoming more like me.

[telephone ringing]

-[telephone clacking] -[ringing continues]

Hello, this is Corporal Heo Gi-yeong.

[Du-gwan] Hey, Gi-yeong. Come to my office for a minute.

[Gi-yeong] Right now, sir?

[Du-gwan] Yes, right now.

-Just hearing that from you is an honor. -[knock on door]

[men laughing]

Hello, sir, Corporal Heo reporting to Commander's Office for…

[Du-gwan] Gi-yeong!

What took you so long to get here?

[huffs]

So you're Corporal Heo?

[breathing nervously]

[Ja-woon] Have you found An Jun-ho's location?

[grandfather's clock ringing]

[ringing continues]

[suspenseful music playing]

Attention!

[soldiers] Attention!

An Jun-ho of the 103rd Division D.P. Team has deserted.

An officer tasked by the Ministry of Defense to capture deserters

has become a deserter himself,

after stealing classified documents on a thumb drive.

I want you to think about what a grave threat

to national security we could be facing.

[soldiers] Yes, sir!

This has not been reported officially yet.

Currently, you're the only ones with knowledge about this incident at all.

First principle is?

If you can't stop it, be sure to make it so that it never happened.

Make sure to bring him in.

And whatever happens today, you won't be on the hook for it.

That's it.

[all] Sir!

[suspenseful music playing]

[Hye-yeon] I'm an hour away.

You're going to be there as well?

[Jun-ho] Yes. I'll be there on time.

Please check once more that nobody's following you.

We're familiar with this kind situation.

But if what you told me is true,

this could potentially be our lawsuit's biggest weapon.

So you should be careful as well.

Okay.

We'll meet soon.

One question.

How could you have known about that columbarium?

[woman on PA] Passengers taking the KTX 203 train to Daejeon,

please get to platform.

The train will be departing shortly.

Well, uh…

I'll tell you all about that when we meet as well.

[line disconnects]

[man on PA] Attention, passengers…

[indistinct announcement]

[tense music playing]

That's him, right?

We've located him, sir.

There's video footage of him purchasing a train ticket for Daejeon.

Yes.

I understand.

An Jun-ho has boarded the KTX train number 201.

All soldiers gather.

-[alarm wailing] -[investigator] Team A, gather!

-[Min-u] Alpha, standby inside the train. -Go!

Additional troops, go to Gwangmyeong Station as planned.

Enter platforms cars one and six from both directions.

An Jun-ho is the D.P. with the highest arrest rate

in the entire division.

He will know exactly how we plan to pursue him.

And he's also a skilled fighter.

Do not let your guard down for one moment.

Yes, sir.

Backup team is in place. They'll jump in at the end.

[tires screeching]

[cars honking]

-What do you say I try driving-- -You little punk, focus on navigating.

Who takes this path to the countryside?

[Ho-yeol sighs] Shit.

MILITARY USE AUXILIARY STORAGE UNIT

[Woo-suk] Can I borrow your lighter?

You can keep it. I have another one.

[Woo-suk's mom] Woo-suk!

[Woo-suk's mom screaming]

[breathing shakily]

[inhales deeply]

[sighs]

If we all catch him, must we split the reward?

What?

Wouldn't you agree, huh?

The two of us can capture him instead of all 15 soldiers.

-So that must-- -Have you finally lost your fucking mind?

Hey.

Working on the outside, it's made you forget about taking orders?

Huh?

Know your fucking place, goddamn it.

Sorry, sir.

[sighs] That fucking little bastard.

That motherfucker wouldn't be able to look me in the eye

If we'd met outside.

-[clanking] -Shit!

[grunts angrily] Damn it.

[knock on door]

Yeah?

-[knocking on door] -It's occupied.

[rapid knocking]

Forgive me.

Oh, fuck.

You're already dead meat, my good friend.

Fuck!

Do you even know how many soldiers are coming after you now? [sniffs]

[sighs]

[man on PA] This train will soon be arriving at Cheonan-Asan Station.

Please prepare.

[train engine buzzing]

[indistinct announcement over PA]

[Min-u] Why didn't you just bring sashimi knives with you?

[soldiers] Salute!

Are you trying to advertise what we're doing here?

Put those away!

Get prepared.

Hey, you went through a lot, asshole.

[moans] Damn it.

Hey.

What are you…

Are you trying to catch him or beat a man to death?

Let go.

-[Min-u] Let go, asshole! -[Ho-yeol] Why would you beat him up?

Hello, Sergeant.

[man on PA] You are on board a Mugunghwa-ho train headed for Busan.

-The train will be departing shortly. -[groaning]

Please check you belongings.

-[Min-u] You… bastard. -[both grunting]

[Min-u] Let go.

You little…

[breathing heavily]

[Beom-gu] Stop it!

[running footsteps]

Why are you beating him?

[Min-u] Park Beom-gu.

You're gonna take responsibility for this.

This whole entire affair.

Yes, I will.

I apologize.

[Min-u] Backup team, what's your location?

[breathing heavily]

[man on PA] Attention, please.

The next train will be arriving soon.

[Sung-woo] Hey, Jun-ho!

…Cheonan, Pyeongtaek, Suwon, and Seoul, please go to Platform Number Three,

and please stand clear of the yellow line.

An Jun-ho!

Again, the next train will be arriving on Platform Number Three shortly.

Hey.

You made another mess, didn't you?

…please go platform Number Three.

Why are you here?

[chuckles] You bastard.

Exactly.

What do you think I'm doing here?

Shit!

Oh…

Have you totally lost your fucking mind?

Oh, shit.

Goddamn it!
