ARTICLE 3 OF THE MILITARY SERVICE ACT

I said get back!

SPECIAL DUTY TEAM

Jun-ho.

The kids won't know me after this.

You take responsibility.

7. THE RAINS

Hello, sir.

-So, what's going on? -I'm sorry, sir.

We've been investigating this for months,

and you can't even get one signature?

ROK ARMED FORCES HEADQUARTERS

Ah, you fucking morons can't do a single thing right.

-Ah, damn it. -Sir.

I said to get this done today.

Sorry, sir.

Are you going to ruin my day off?

Sorry, sir. We tried to have it done but…

I told my grandson I'd build LEGOs with him today.

Put it together.

Yes, sir, I will.

-Sir! -Sir!

HIGH PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE MILITARY INVESTIGATOR'S ROOM

OH MIN-U

What's with all the rain?

Okay. Shall we begin another thrilling morning?

Just give us your signature and you can go home.

-D.P. Team Chief for the 103rd Division… -

Sergeant First Class…

Park Beom-gu, ready?

In October 2014, Private Shin Woo-suk of the 103rd Division

committed suicide by burning charcoal briquettes inside his motel room.

On the 11th of the following month,

Private First Class Choi Jun-mok, Infantry,

was apprehended on Subway Line 2.

Private First Class Jeong Hyeon-min, CDC's deserter, was apprehended in Busan.

But you failed to apprehend Sergeant Heo Chi-do of the Recon Unit.

Up to that point, your record wasn't bad.

But the end was the absolute worst.

My God.

In the Cho Suk-bong case, based on the testimonies

of other soldiers and commanding officers,

it would appear Cho Suk-bong was suffering from mental illness.

As a result of this illness, he deserted on impulse,

thus lowering morale and risking the lives of many soldiers

through criminal acts and suicidal behavior…

Suk-bong suffered from a mental illness?

I don't agree with the assessment.

I started out in the military as a soldier in the 103rd Division.

And every day, I was beaten from morning to night.

I was tortured with the officer's toothpaste cap.

During lunch, they'd hit me with a tray until it bent in half.

Why do you think I became non-commissioned?

I thought I would get beaten less.

But superior staff still kicked in my shins,

and they'd slap me in the living quarters,

and the sick part is that

the abuse will always get worse, never better--

Sergeant Park Beom-gu, hey.

That's right. I thought I might develop a mental illness, too,

unless I already have one of those.

If so, is all of that my responsibility?

Hey, Park Beom-gu.

Hey.

What?

You wanted a statement.

Hello!

Gosh! What a way to start the day. Huh?

Is this a bad time?

Hey, Mr. Warrant Officer, we'll go and have a cup of coffee.

Ah, this weather is crazy.

It'd be rough in a couple of days when they say we have to fix the trenches…

- -Jesus!

Ah, that fucking asshole.

He didn't even offer you an instant coffee?

He's a warrant officer for Christ's sake.

I thought you were disciplined and had to resign.

But I guess you found a way to survive still.

Well, I didn't bust my ass in the military academy just to get fired.

I heard that those connections you make last forever.

Must be.

What are you even going on about? I'm still unassigned here.

Sitting around in an office that's like a military prison.

Sergeant Park.

I really don't want to be saying this.

Then don't say it. Right?

Jeez, come on.

God…

The Suk-bong case…

needs to be concealed.

Okay?

I mean, if you don't agree to the written statement

and this goes to trial, it's over for our division,

and you and me.

For Han Ho-yeol and An Jun-ho, too.

It's the right thing. Okay?

Talking to myself again.

Jeez, I wonder if the boys are doing all right.

- -

Salute. Private An speaking.

Yes, I'll be right there.

Huh? Jeez, I can't believe this.

We need to be on the same page.

Oh, he's here.

That was a long wait.

My apologies.

Here you are.

Goodness. It's wet. This is all wet.

It's not like you made the workbook yourself.

Jeez.

Mom, let's hurry up, it's time for my academy.

It's that late?

Good work.

Hurry up, already.

413 DAYS UNTIL DISCHARGE

- -You're crazy.

You fucking son of a bitch. You think your duties are a joke?

I'm sorry, sir?

Dipshit, you heard clearly.

There's no hot water.

You might have your business outside, but aren't you in charge of the boiler?

But, sir, that's just impossible, I checked it before I--

Hey, you fucking shit, you back talking?

You fucking son of a moron. Do you have a death wish? Look.

Hey, are you saying, like, I broke it on purpose to fuck with you? Is that it?

Huh?

Hey.

Are you bullshitting to avoid it?

No, I'm not. I'll get it fixed, sir.

Shit.

That buddy-fucking trash motherfucker.

Isn't Heo Gi-yeong such a fucking moron?

That asshole Gi-yeong needs a good beating.

Hey, take care of him, okay?

- Yes, sir. - Was that prick? Damn.

Sorry, I just need a minute to check the boiler.

- -

Do I know you? Who are you to salute to us?

-What? -Hey.

-Yeah? -What are you doing?

Who are you talking to right now?

Why is this stuff on the floor?

Hey, you see a ghost or something?

-Hey. -Yes, sir.

Now… look over there and say "motherfucker," okay?

- Uh… - Just say it, bastard.

What? What is it, huh? Cat got your tongue?

Motherfucker.

Good job, good job.

- Let's go? - Yes, sir.

Damn, that was fucking funny.

-That trash needs to learn his lesson. -

NINTH MP COMMANDER LTC CHUN YONG-DUK

TENTH MP COMMANDER LTC YANG DU-GWAN

Just why won't that smell go away?

Jun-ho.

Good work running that errand.

Sir, it was no problem.

Ah, well… My wife is just so serious over our son's education.

It's really a pain.

Right then.
