Military Prosecutor Doberman (군검사 도베르만)

I know it's not much,

but since I'm a soldier,

I'll stick to what my country pays me.

That's right. I decline the renewal of our contract.

Salute.

How dare he?

How dare that punk do this to me?

How dare he? Darn him!

The information you asked for on military prosecutor Cha Woo In.

Fine!

When shall I schedule...

your inauguration as IM Defense's CEO?

Cancel the ceremony.

Chairman No soured the atmosphere.

I'll move right into his office.

Yes, sir.

What shall I do about all this?

Burn it.

A soldier's pay barely lasts a month in the bank.

Isn't it a waste of your hard work for the past five years?

I regret it dearly.

I think I'll even dream of the money I just gave up.

Oh, right. I asked how you knew I'd be here.

Answer my question first.

Just a month ago, you told me you'd handcuff Captain Cha.

But now... - I handcuffed No Tae Nam.

Yes. So what exactly is going on?

I'm joining forces with Cha.

Should I say we're comrades with a common purpose?

You and Captain Cha, comrades?

I don't know how or why that happened,

but that answers a few questions.

So I must ask.

Are you going to stick with me, Sang Ki?

Well... I should.

I'm penniless now. You're okay with that?

Did you think all I cared about was the money?

It's a sore loss, but still.

Oh, really?

Nice.

Hey.

I got No Tae Nam.

Who shall do the grilling?

The prosecutor will be here soon. Stay put.

Hey.

Darn it.

Hey, you. Open the door.

Open up. Let me out.

Don't you hear me?

Hey. Do Be Man.

It's been so long.

You're on my case?

Then it's game over.

It's a pity we meet in here.

I feel better now that my man is here.

Get me out of here quick.

It hurts bad where I got shot.

I need to get to a hospital and get an MRI.

Oh, dear. I'll have you moved once I get your statement.

Let's see.

Must we do this?

It's just a formality.

This is the army after all. I hope you understand.

Take a seat.

He's about to question No Tae Nam.

Listen carefully.

It's a chance to figure out if Be Man really cut ties with him.

Do you still doubt him?

I don't trust him completely yet. - IM Defense's...

ex-Chairman No Tae Nam was arrested today,

the same day Lee Jae Sik became Minister of National Defense.

Division Commander No Hwa Young who is said to be his mother...

hurriedly left the inauguration ceremony.

Though the public trusts the military...

On the military's biggest day,

you well and truly messed with them, Woo In.

No Hwa Young and Lee Jae Sik won't see eye-to-eye now.

Minister Lee.

Why you...

I apologize. I wasn't thinking.

How dare you?

I wouldn't have been able to hit you if you were a woman.

I know.

You ruined the greatest day in my 40-year military career.

You, Hwa Young, of all people.

Because of your stupid son,

I was humiliated in public!

In front of the whole military and the whole public!

He was in your division,

and you still couldn't control him?

Did you not even know he'd deserted?

Clean up this mess, even if it means cutting him off!

I promise you that my son...

will never be mentioned by the public again.

I will stake my uniform on it.

You what?

If my son causes one more problem,

I will leave the army.

Let's go.

Where's Tae Nam now?

He's being questioned in the legal office.

I should've listened to you then.

This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't enlisted.

It's even worse now that I got out once.

Describe how you got out of the recruit training center.

Hey. You sound like a real prosecutor, Mr. Doberman.

This is just for show, isn't it?

Just describe what you did.

The statement is a formality, right?

I went to the toilet,

and I noticed the freezer truck outside.

I went inside to look for some food.

It must've been freezing cold in the truck.

What? Yes, it was.

It was so cold that I passed out.

When you woke up, you were outside.

That's right.

Then you didn't desert. You were made to desert.

I like that a lot.

That's it. I was made to desert.

It was unintended.

You know, it's stuffy in here.

I'm claustrophobic.

Get me out of here quick.

First things first.

If you didn't intend to desert,

why were you about to leave Korea in a private plane?

Leave Korea?

Well, that was...

Since I was out...

Since I was somehow made to desert,

I didn't want to return right away.

I was going to take a quick trip.

That's embarrassing.

It is, isn't it? - Yes.

The truth is, this is the worst bit.

Add some flesh to the story for me.

I'd like to nap now.

Is this fun?

Are you enjoying how I'm playing along?

No Tae Nam.

No Tae Nam.

Answer me, you punk!

What?

What are you...

My three diamonds say I'm a captain.

You're just a trainee who's not yet even a private.

You will address me and speak according to army rules.

Have you gone crazy? What's gotten into you?

You know what prosecutors can do.

We can easily cover up crimes or blow them out of proportion.

But I'm also one in a military uniform.

So can you imagine my power?

Darn soldier boy, how dare you hit me.

Respect the rank, soldier.

State your name and rank.

My mom is your division commander!

State your name and rank!

This is police brutality.

I'm trainee No Tae Nam.

Don't you have an assigned number?

It's 30. I mean, 13. I'm Trainee number 13 No Tae Nam.

Trainee number 13 No Tae Nam.

You will never leave this place.

As of today, the military will be your home.

Oh, look. The cameras are back online.

Why are you not seated?

So where were we?

We have the statement given by the night watch guard...

on the night of the incident,

the security footage from the cookhouse,

the statement given by your friend you met up with,

and the video we collected at the airport.

All the evidence proves your desertion.

So according to article 30 of the Military Criminal Act,

you will be charged with desertion from military service.

Desertion from military service.

Sign it.

What happened?

I'm in the middle of gathering the facts.

What I know for sure is that Do Be Man...

made an enemy out of you and me.

How is Do Be Man our main issue?

The mess Tae Nam made has put my reputation in jeopardy.

It was during the minister's inauguration!

General No, please give me some time.

Salute.

Cha Woo In.

Salute.

Captain Cha.

That salute you just hesitantly sent my way.

Do you know why it is performed?

According to our code of conduct,

it is to show respect to senior officers.

Incorrect.

The tradition began with knights in the Middle Ages...

who wore steel armor from head to toe.

They lifted their helmets before a battle...

to show their faces.

To ensure that they are a friendly force.
