[Lee Je Hoon]

[Jang Hyuk Jin, Bae Yoo Ram, Kim Eui Sung, Pyo Ye Jin]

[Taxi Driver 3]

[This drama is a work of fiction.]

[All people, incidents, and backgrounds...]

[in this drama are fictitious.]

[Children and animals were filmed under guidelines.]

How long have you been with the unit?

Eight months, sir.

The mission was a failure,

and you died in action just eight months in?

And you, instructor? How long have you served?

- Six years.
- And you died after six years too.

Attacking me after you're dead doesn't count.

I wasn't dead yet.

I stabbed you as I was dying.

Consider it my dying message.

But, sir...

What if I were to say I saw her stab you before she died?

Am I going to get in trouble?

What's your name?

Sergeant Yoo Sun A, Counter-Terrorism Team one, sir.

- Everyone, fall in!
- Yes, sir! All right, fall in!

Hey, on your feet.

Did anything about this operation strike you as odd?

Sergeant Park Jae Won, sir.

Sir, I believe the hostage's safety wasn't the priority in the plan.

We could've been the ones who k*lled the hostage.

That's precisely what blinded you.

One simple feint, and half of your unit was wiped out.

Any idea why?

Because you all assumed the hostage you took...

was your get-out-of-jail-free card.

You figured if things went south, you'd use them as a human shield.

But if the hostage dies, the mission's a failure, right, sir?

If I really intended to rescue them,

I'd have secured them first, not entered from the opposite side.

I came through the main gate, blocked your escape and engaged.

My objective for this operation...

wasn't to rescue the hostage.

It was to annihilate all of you,

the hostage included.

So, if this were a real combat situation

and you realized the enemy wasn't protecting the hostage,

but was instead cutting off your escape routes,

the very first thing you should do...

was quickly get out of there.

If you can't run, then with your last dying breath,

take down at least one more of them...

with everything you've got.

Your final stand will instill fear in the enemy.

And that fear will spread like wildfire,

becoming a coat of armor for the rest of your team.

- Understood?
- Yes, sir!

On that note,

I want you all to learn from Sergeant Yoo's final action.

Check your personnel and gear, then return to base.

We'll cover the rest in the AAR.

- Salute!
- Unity!

Unity.

At ease.

[Seoul 24M 5283]

[Taxi Driver 3]

[Taxi Driver 3]

- How can I help you?
- Hi.

This monstrosity was delivered to my house.

[Military Manpower Administration Notice of Active Duty Enlistment]

Yes? So?

I was honorably discharged from the military over a decade ago.

All right, let me just check that for you.

I'm telling you, when I saw this,

I was so shocked, my heart jumped.

- I'm checking. Please have a seat.
- Right, sure.

Mr. Park Jin Eon?

Yes.

[Subject eligible for active duty]

But I see no record of prior service.

[Building a Korea proud of its military service]

What record?

Your completed service record. It's not here.

And what happens if there's no record?

You'll have to enlist again.

- Go where?
- The military.

No way!

I'm sorry. Sorry about that.

- I'm telling you, I already served!
- Sir, please calm down.

How am I supposed to stay calm? How?

You're saying I have to enlist again just because there's no record?

To someone who's already served ages ago?

Wait, your enlistment date was yesterday?

That makes you AWOL. We'll help you enlist immediately.

What kind of twisted thing is that to say?

What's going on?

You're reporting for duty. Now.

Reporting for duty? No, wait. Hold on!

Hey, wait! I think there's been a mistake.

No personal excuses.

I'm telling you, I already did my time!

[Active-duty enlistment]

Have a good tour of duty.

No! I can't go!

No!

- What do you mean, "no"?
- I'm sorry.

- Why are you screaming?
- I'm sorry. I just...

Go Eun.

Gyeong Gu.

What kind of dream makes you scream like that?

Hey, look. You're breaking out in a cold sweat.

It was a dream! It was all just a dream!

Gosh, that was intense.

Goodness. Such a drama queen.

- Did you dream you got drafted?
- Yes.

For real?

I kept saying it was a mistake, but they dragged me off to the army.

- That must've been terrifying.
- Totally.

- Want to hear an even scarier one?
- Scarier than a draft notice?

Way scarier.

Because this one actually happened to me.

I love scary stories.

Hey, where are you going? Come on.

Do you really have to set the mood like this?

Spooky.

My senior and I...

were on guard duty at the gatehouse...

when over in the washroom at the HQ barracks,

- a soldier was dancing like crazy.
- Dancing?

So my senior...

asked me what I was looking at.

What?

I said, "See that guy over there, dancing his heart out?"

He said he couldn't see anyone. But I could see him clear as day.

We went back and forth all shift, and when we were relieved,

we went to the command post to report in.

Right after we reported in, I told them what happened.

And that's when...

the sergeant major...

told me that ten years ago, in that exact spot,

a new recruit had hanged himself.

- What?
- What?

The way the body was swaying, it must have looked like dancing.

Ever since then,

they say anyone who saw the soldier has either died or gone insane.

But you saw him.

I guess it doesn't count if you can't see him clearly.

Actually, it was quite far, so I couldn't see clearly.

- I don't think so.
- What's that supposed to mean?

- That explains it.
- Explains what?

It probably followed you here.

Driver Kim Do Gi! How long have you been here?

I've been here the whole time. I had no chance to slip away.

- Gosh.
- You scared the life out of me.

You were?

Why lie about being followed? That's creepy.

But it is true.

It's probably following us now.

- Are you serious?
- Okay, never mind. It isn't scary.

Gosh, that's not funny. It's not funny at all.

Gosh.

- What?
- What's this?

Do ghosts really exist?

Captain Kim Do Gi.

It's been a while. Have you been well, sir?

Park Jae Won.

- Have you been well?
- Yes, sir.

- Have you been well, sir?
- Yes.

I've never seen you take the afternoon off, Driver Kim.

Mr. Jang is out, so I couldn't tell him.

I'll let him know for you.

All right, enjoy your time off. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Jae Won.

I told you to wait in the car. Why did you get out?

I'm perfectly fine, sir.

- You haven't eaten yet, have you?
- No, sir.

I know a few great restaurants, so let's pick one on the way.

I'm good with anything, sir.

Has Driver Kim Do Gi ever had a visitor here before?

No, never.

His rank is Master Sergeant. Gosh, that's so cool.

- Driver Kim Do Gi looks so happy.
- Yes.

He must've been really happy to see him.

Master Sergeant Park, what are you in the mood for?

You still like ginseng chicken soup?

- You even remember that, sir?
- Of course.

You and Master Sergeant Yoo insisted we go for ginseng chicken soup.

What about Master Sergeant Yoo?

How's she doing?

You should've brought her with you. I haven't seen her in ages.

I assumed you hadn't heard the news, sir.

Master Sergeant Yoo Sun A...

is dead, sir.

The thing is...

That's why I came to see you. I need your signature on a petition.

[Petition]

Master Sergeant Yoo Sun A...

Where is she now?

[The Late Yoo Sun A]

[The Late Yoo Sun A]

Mom!

Will you be returning, sir?

No.

Please come back when this is over, sir.

Even if I did come back,

there's nothing left for me to teach you.

Even if you have no more to teach,

I still have much to learn from you, sir.

I'll be waiting for your return, sir.

I will...

also be waiting, sir.

- Salute. Unity!
- Unity!

Requesting to return to duty.

Oh, this place has great coffee.

- I thought our coffee was the best.
- It's in a class of its own!

Gosh, look at the shine on this car.

Driver Kim is going to love this.

- The number you dialed is off...
- Why is his phone off again?

[2 weeks later]

Is this it?

Yes, this is the taxi Driver Kim was driving.

For him to just abandon his taxi, something serious must've happened.

Exactly. And his phone's been off this whole time.

For now, could you two take the taxi back?

I'll grab the nearby CCTV footage and then head back.

It looks like he's paying his respect, doesn't it?

Sergeant Yoo Sun A. She served with Driver Kim Do Gi.

Sergeant?

But she's a Master Sergeant in that photo.

The records say she went AWOL from a training site...

and died in an expl*si*n while fleeing.

She was posthumously disciplined and discharged as a private.

Wait, that's a little strange.

No matter how severe the disciplinary action,

to demote someone that many ranks is highly unusual, isn't it?

Seriously, what could she have possibly done?

Either way, it seems Do Gi disappeared because of this,

but I'm just wondering if looking for him now...

is the right thing to do.

That's been weighing on my mind too.

From the way he even ditched his phone,

Driver Kim didn't go missing. He chose to leave.

It's almost like he's telling us not to look for him.

Have a safe trip. See you tomorrow.

Yes, see you tomorrow.

He said he'd see me tomorrow.

Mr. Jang, did you send this page?

No, I just got the page and rushed down here.

Go Eun, was it you?

If none of us sent it,

then this message must have come from Do Gi.

But why send a page instead of just showing up?

Maybe so we wouldn't worry?

Then he would've called, not sent a page.

Something must've happened to Driver Kim.

We have to go find him right now.

I agree. We have to. We absolutely have to go!

Of course I want to go. But we don't know where he is.

I did some more digging.

Master Sergeant Yoo's last unit was a temp one, Unit 280.

And there's one more thing.

This is the exact spot where Driver Kim sent a page.

But there's nothing there.

That's right. The area's blurred out on Street View.

It has to be a military base.

In that case, that's most likely where Do Gi is right now.

CEO, you once said that there are victims,

but no perpetrators in two places. Hospitals and the military.

We have to find Driver Kim now.

But how do we get onto a military base?

Civilians can't just go waltzing in there.

It's a problem. What on earth are we going to do?

Hey, Go Eun. Any bright ideas?

The military? I know nothing.

What would...

Driver Kim do if he were here right now?

If Driver Kim were here...

I think I know what he would've done.

What?

Chief Park.

I'll let you punch me 100 times.

What?

- Go Eun.
- No, wait, make that 200.

An Go Eun!

- No way. I refuse to go.
- Why refuse without knowing?

I don't have to. I already know what she's about to say.

You're going to ask me to re-enlist, aren't you?

No.

Whenever you feel like it,

you can hit me for the rest of your life.

No way. I can't. I won't. Absolutely not!

Please just hit me!

I'm not going. I can't go!

Over my dead body!

[Warning: Failure to comply will be met with fire.]

[For our country and our people]

We've filled personnel shortages.

We got transfers for supply and mess,

and one of them is a new recruit.

- Private First Class Park Jin Su.
- Private First Class Park Jin Su.

Put your bag down.

Run in place.

Run.

- Gosh, this is the last one.
- Is this the army or a summer camp?

You've all been through a lot getting here.

From now on, this is your home.

- Take them to their barracks.
- Right this way.

Yes, sir.

That's right.

I came here to find Driver Kim Do Gi.

Once I find him, this will all be over.

What's with that guy?

I heard he just re-enlisted.

Excuse me. I'm actually looking for someone.

- Is there a Captain Kim Do Gi here?
- Has this guy gone mad?

What? Is the captain your buddy?

That's right.

We're the same age, so I act casual, but he keeps things formal.

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

I know the army pretty well. My service number starts with 11.

What about you two? What do yours start with?

What's the status?

Still no word from him?

Yes, his comms are still off.

- I bet it's still in his bag.
- Don't worry.

Jin Eon will be doing just fine.

This isn't his first rodeo.

I was wrong, sir!

I forgot I was in the army!

I was wrong!

What? You "forgot"?

Hey, this jerk...

When he's done with his punishment, throw him in the brig.

I'm sorry!

I was wrong! I'm sorry!

So I guess facing the military alone is impossible after all?

Looks like I'll have to go in myself.

You, sir?

Security's going to be tight there. How do you plan on getting in?

When you get to be my age, it's not that hard.

Halt.

[For our country and our people]

[For our country and our people]

Sir. May I ask what brings you here?

What kind of question is that? I'm here to see you do your job.

What is it? Who's that?

- And you are, sir?
- Me?

General...

Unity!

What are you gawking at? Are you opening this gate or what?

Hey, you want me to just leave?

- What is it? Who is he?
- He's a general!

My apologies, sir!

What are you doing? Open the gate for him, now!

- Salute!
- Unity!

All right. Carry on.

[For our country and our people]

- Guard post, comsec.
- What is it?

- A VIP's on base.
- On the ground!

- Sir!
- Sir!

- On your feet!
- Sir!

[Special mission code of conduct]

[Garrison]

[Rear supply unit]

[Operational plan]

Getting some screenshots.

[Executive meeting, senior staff meeting minutes]

- Unity!
- As you were.

The commander...

The commander has stepped out, sir.

I see.

So, you're not going to ask why I'm here?

First Lieutenant Lee Hyung In.

With all due respect, sir, may I ask what brings you here?

What do you think? I'm here to see my son.

You have a new recruit here named Park Jin Eon, don't you?

Park Jin Eon?

I'll go myself...

and bring him here.

- Go ahead.
- Unity.

Unity.

[Sgt. Yoo Sun A and seven others]

Looks like there's something useful for us here.

There's no information here besides Area B24.

It's nearing the Demarcation Line. This is unsettling.

Anyway, I'll do everything I can to find Driver Kim.

But I bet Mr. Jang has no idea where to even begin.

Instead of just sitting around here, we should go in and help find him.

Into the military base? Us?

And how are we supposed to get in?

We'll just waltz right in, of course.

What?

And get a warm welcome while we're at it.

What?

[Special Mission Unit Rules of Conduct]

[Special Mission Code of Conduct]

Unity.

Unity!

- You little punk!
- Mr. Jang?

It's your old man.

My dad?

Let me get a good look at you.

You little punk. You've gotten all chubby.

Looks like the army life suits you, you little rascal.

Stand up straight. Lead the way.

Show your old man around the base, will you?

- Then I can escort you...
- No. If I asked for that,

- I'd be pulling rank.
- Lieutenant...

Lead the way. Go on, you little punk.

- Unity.
- Hurry up, punk. Keep it up.

One, two.

Let's get a move on.

Unity. This is First Lieutenant Lee Hyung In.

It appears a general officer just arrived.

A general? Why would one come to our unit?

- He said he's here to see his son.
- What are you talking about?

If a general's son were in our unit, I'd know about it.

He insists that it's his son...

- I'll look into it. Hang up.
- Unity.

He did call him a little punk, though.

Corporal Ma, do you listen to Elements?

They're awesome.

Elements? They're sick. They're my all-time favorite.

[Armed Forces Welfare Agency]

[Unity Club]

[For our country and our people]

How did a convenience store get all the way out here?

I never thought we'd see one at a temporary post.

Come on. Let's check it out.

[Temporary Post: Unit for a specific mission]

[Stop]

- Hello, sir.
- Yes, sir.

- I'll go check over here.
- All right.

Driver Kim, are you in there?

Hey, form a line! One at a time.

You're going to hit it with your r*fle. Gosh, look at these guys.

- Get out of the way.
- Let's go.

- Thanks.
- I'll take this one.

Go Eun, now!

[Armed Forces Welfare Agency, Unity Club]

[Special Mission Code of Conduct]

Unity, sir.

You're a new face.

- What's your unit?
- I'm from the Intel Division.

I'm here for a system check.

I see.

- First Lieutenant?
- Yes, sir.

And I'm a Captain.

First Lieutenant An Go Eun.

Appreciate all your hard work.

- What do you think you're doing?
- Is something wrong, sir?

I said, what are you doing?

I thought it was the right greeting for this unit.

I was just following your lead.

- Did that bother you?
- Has she lost her darn mind?

If you don't like it,

then don't treat people like that.

Got it?

Unity.

Darn it.

Unity.

- Unity. Yes, Commander.
- Unity.

Captain Kim Do Gi should have reported here recently.

Let me check for you, ma'am.

Driver Kim Do Gi.

Driver Kim, you in there?

Do Gi, are you there?

- I don't think he's here.
- Let's check the next floor up.

- Okay.
- Yes.

Yes, I understand. Unity.

Hey.

HQ says no general's son was sent to our unit.

So who did you just let in?

Sir?

[Soldier's Personnel File]

You punk, where is your head at?

Go catch that darn impostor now!

Yes, sir. Unity!

Darn it.

Now what is that? Darn it.

Unity.

Go Eun.

- How did you get in here?
- I just waltzed right in.

And...

What?

These are the keys to the Deluxe Taxi.

Driver Kim was here.

All right, anyone seen our Driver Kim Do Gi...

I mean, Captain Kim Do Gi? Raise your hand if you've seen him.

You'll get a free box of soy milk.

Me, sir!

- I have.
- You've seen Captain Kim Do Gi?

- I'm the one who cleans his room.
- Come out and get your free case.

[Vegemil High-Protein Soy Milk]

[Armed Forces Welfare Agency, Unity Club]

Unity.

Take us to Captain Kim Do Gi's room, and I'll give you another free box.

- Everyone, stand back!
- Move!

- Out of the way!
- Move it!

- Hey, what's going on?
- Move aside! Get out!

Don't sh**t!

I'll tell you anything! Ask one thing, I'll tell you two!

Just don't sh**t!

[Establishing Military Discipline, The 2802nd Unit]

Mr. Jang! Jin Eon, Go Eun!

Are you guys here to rescue me?

We got captured too!

Right.

Please don't sh**t!

So these jerks are all in on it together.

Who are you people?

I'm only going to ask you this one more time.

Who are you people?

[Unity Club]

[Welcome]

What took you all so long?

Do Gi.

Glad you could all make it.

[2 weeks earlier]

[2 weeks earlier]

It's in the Civilian Control Zone, so I'll need military credentials.

A company-grade officer...

can only re-enlist within three years of leaving.

But you're well past that deadline.

Even if we get you in, it'll be flagged immediately.

So forget the two weeks you asked for.

You won't even last two days before it's voided.

Here.

An endangered Black Eagle's nest was found in the border region.

[Eagle Nest Found, Border Region Emergency Survey]

So we need someone to spend three weeks...

identifying and surveying the habitat.

How about it?

Think you can handle it?

Thank you. I won't burden you any further.

Burden? Not at all. I'm the one asking for a favor.

Okay. Take that car back there.

Everything you need is in there.

Yes, sir.

Halt!

Lights off.

Engine off.

Driver, exit the vehicle.

Turtle.

- Ladder.
- Who goes there?

Captain Kim Do Gi.

State your business.

On assignment. I've spoken with the duty commander.

- Captain Kim Do Gi has arrived.
- Yes, let him through.

Yes, sir.

- Copy that.
- Identity confirmed. Unity.

Unity.

Unity.

We weren't expecting you today, so your room isn't ready yet.

We were told you'd be arriving tomorrow.

Don't worry about it. I can sleep anywhere.

So, what mission are you here for?

I'll brief the unit commander on the details tomorrow.

Is the office all set up?

Yes, sir.

You of all people know what Sergeant Yoo Sun A was like.

[Petition]

[Victim: The late Sgt. Yoo Sun A]

I'll be in touch.

I'd like you to come back then.

Understood.

- He came last night?
- Yes, sir.

So where is he now?

He wanted his own room, so I gave him one of the empty ones.

He said he'd introduce himself this morning.

He should just do his job and leave.

What's the point of an introduction?

Unity. Apologies for the late introduction.

Yes. You had a long trip.

- I hear you arrived last night.
- Yes, sir.

The room's great, by the way. It gets a good breeze.

Right.

And the reason for your assignment is?

[Colonel Kim Tae Hyun]

[Eagle Nest Found, Border Region Emergency Survey]

[Urgent Survey Team to the Border Region]

Surveying birds?

Yes, sir.

What kind of bird?

- Black Eagle, sir.
- It's an eagle?

They were thought to be extinct, but a nest was recently found.

But...

- why send you for a bird survey?
- I may not know about birds,

but I know the border ecosystem very well.

So what happens if you find this bird here?

It's an endangered species, so we'd have to protect it.

So if it becomes a protected area, we can't fire our weapons?

That's highly likely.

We're better off if it's not here, even if it is, right?

Anyway, if you need anything, let me know, okay?

This is my house,

so don't go wandering around like you own the place.

Thanks for your consideration.

Right. Do you need anything?

Do you want me to assign a soldier to you?

That's all right. I've already called someone in.

Unity!

Speak of the devil. He'll be rooming with me,

so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Yes, sir.

I haven't eaten yet,

so if you haven't either, would you care to join me?

I'm good.

There's a jjamppong place near the entrance. It's really good.

You should go try it.

Thanks for the tip.

Unity.

[Advanced barracks, elite special forces]

[Establishing discipline, accomplishing the mission]

Captain, I knew you'd call on me,

but I never imagined it would be for something like this.

- Let's get food first.
- Yes, sir.

- You drive.
- Yes, sir.

Hey.

What do you think they're really here for?

He said he was here for the protected species research.

"Protected species," my foot.

You don't think so?

He was a Special Warfare instructor, he's led operations,

and he quit after years of overseas intel.

You think he's here for birds? Give me a break.

Tail those jerks and find out what they're really up to.

- Dig in.
- Yes, sir. You too.

This jjamppong is pretty good.

It is, sir.

I looked over the internal report on Master Sergeant Yoo's charges.

During a training exercise,

Master Sergeant Yoo abandoned her squad...

and drove a truck full of weapons into North Korea.

No way...

That's impossible.

Going AWOL from the training site, theft of weapons,

and attempting to contact North Korean officials.

She was demoted three ranks, one for each charge.

Captain, do you...

really believe Master Sergeant Yoo would do something like that?

Could you do it, Master Sergeant Park?

Commandeering a truck, stealing strategic weapons,

and coordinating a time and date with a North Korean operative.

All in less than a week of being deployed here?

I don't think even I could pull that off.

Quietly meet with the squad members who were with Master Sergeant Yoo.

All eyes will be on me for a while, so you shouldn't have any trouble.

Yes, sir.

One more thing. Do senior officers get temp posts?

No, sir.

Actually, I thought that was strange too.

A colonel living in the barracks instead of his own quarters...

Isn't that pretty unprecedented?

Exactly.

So do we really have to look for this bird?

Well, it's not like they're going to believe us anyway.

Gosh, this jjamppong is really good.

It's so good, sir.

- Was that good?
- Yes. Gosh, I'm stuffed.

Good.

Captain, where are you going?

Looks like he's from my unit. Why is he taking my picture?

I'm not a bird.

Go tell your commanding officer.

Unity! You called for me, sir?

We got a message from Captain Kim Do Gi.

We did?

Hey, read it again.

Your jjamppong suggestion was great. Please recommend more great spots.

Also, I need a bird-watching camera, so I'll borrow this and return it.

Thank you for being so thoughtful.

No matter how you slice it,

it looks like that jerk, Kim Do Gi, has an ulterior motive.

- I'm sure of it.
- I'll see what he's up to, sir.

Report the second you find anything, even if it's at dawn.

Yes, sir. Unity!

- Unity!
- Unity!

[Investigation Team]

All the squad members' statements match.

They said on the way to the op zone,

Master Sergeant Yoo Sun A told them all to get out.

Get out.

- Get out now!
- Yes, ma'am! Understood!

Everyone, dismount the truck.

Move it! Out!

- Yes, ma'am!
- Yes, ma'am!

Effective immediately, you will all return to base.

- We must have misheard you, ma'am.
- You heard me, didn't you?

Everyone, return to base!

- Yes, ma'am! Understood!
- Yes, ma'am! Understood!

They didn't seem to be lying, sir.

Could Master Sergeant Yoo Sun A really have done that?

[Results: expl*si*n in Operation Area B-24]

Those reasons listed for her demotion...

Could they really be true?

The answer to that...

is one you've already given, Master Sergeant Park.

Yes, you're right, sir.

Master Sergeant Yoo Sun A would never do that.

I'm absolutely sure of it.

I agree.

Unity.

Unity.

Who's in charge of the vehicle movement logs?

The transportation unit co-manages them.

What's the logging interval? Every five minutes?

Yes, sir, that's correct.

And the reporting cycle to command?

It's automatically updated every three weeks, sir.

That's perfect.

Get me a copy for this date.

- Right now.
- Right now, sir?

You must be busy betting your pay in the barracks.

Master Sergeant Park, why don't you get it?

Yes, sir.

Gambling on duty?

He seems busy. I'll get it myself, sir.

No, sir! I'll go get it right this second!

Really? Then you'd better be quick about it.

Yes, sir!

- Unity!
- About-face!

On the double!

By the way, Captain, how do you know all that?

Know what?

That vehicle movements are logged in five-minute intervals.

They're mostly logged to evaluate training performance.

- But isn't that data classified?
- It is.

But I'm the one who used to grade the performance evaluations.

I reviewed those logs and gave you the best score.

You did?

Unity!

These are the vehicle movement logs for the date you requested, sir.

- Thanks. Good work.
- Unity!

- Unity.
- Save your pay and be a good son.

Unity!

Let's use this to retrace her steps on the day of the incident.

And see what she was trying to do.

So that's why you asked for the logs from the day of the incident.

You never know.

Her route might tell us what happened that day.

Right.

Unity!

Unity!

You'd think people studying birds would have at least one photo.

Is there a problem, Colonel?

If you're here to investigate birds, you should be focused on them.

So why are you digging into a dead woman's business?

Why are you snooping on a traitor who betrayed her country?

Since you've asked, allow me to ask you something.

How did you know she was dealing with the North?

- What?
- You couldn't have met either side,

- and you weren't there, were you?
- Hey.

Do you need to be next to a fire to know it's burning?

You can tell there's a fire by the smoke from a distance.

Aborting the mission on her own, disobeying orders, sending men back,

then loading weapons into a truck and heading North. It's obvious.

Just seeing that smoke,

it's clear she was playing with fire, don't you think?

I see your point.

Hey, Kim Do Gi.

- Yes, sir.
- I'm sure I made myself clear.

Don't come into my house and act like you own the place.

What's your real reason for being here?

Who sent you?

I believe I already told you. A Black Eagle nest was discovered...

Cut the nonsense, you jerk!

Black Eagle, my foot!

I have to get back to the nest, so if you'll excuse me.

Unity!

[Bird investigation]

But I guess a bird's nest is someone else's home too.

This is awkward.

And by the way,

people don't really put photos up on walls.

Not when you have one of these.

Unity!

That arrogant jerk...

A measly Captain has the nerve...

Sir, what should we do?

He must have someone backing him up to be so c*ck, don't you think?

I'm going to go see the General.

[Special Warfare School]

Stop here for a second.

Yes, sir.

What is it, Captain?

On the day of the incident,

Master Sergeant Yoo had her team exit the truck here.

Everyone, dismount the truck.

Move it! Out!

- Yes, ma'am!
- Yes, ma'am!

She took the right fork.

What? But this is Sector B24.

Why? Is there a problem with that?

On the day of Master Sergeant Yoo's accident,

my team was also scheduled...

with an a*tillery unit for a live-fire drill.

And the target for that drill was right here, in Sector B24.

[Military Demarcation Line, Special Mission Unit's Area of Ops]

- Let's go.
- Yes, sir.

Sector B24 starts here.

[Military Demarcation Line, Special Mission Unit's Area of Ops]

[Special mission code of conduct]

Master Sergeant Yoo was here for ten minutes.

Only this spot right here is empty.

It looks like she couldn't move everything on the shelf at once.

Instead of going to the base,

Master Sergeant Yoo went up this path to the north.

Yes, that's what the report said.

That she took the weapons north.

Master Sergeant Yoo didn't go north to sell the weapons.

Her original route back was blocked,

so she couldn't get through.

What?

Darn it.

Back off, you jerks! Are you disobeying a direct order?

Since her escape route was blocked,

she tried to find an alternate route.

If she sought a new route, like you said,

she had to be panicking.

This path is a dead end at the Military Demarcation Line.

And there's no way Master Sergeant Yoo didn't know that.

Or did she head that way knowing it was a dead end?

With her escape route blocked,

Master Sergeant Yoo would have done the only thing she could.

The only thing she could?

Captain Kim Do Gi!

I have a question.

There are times in the field when our mission objective...

is to acquire certain intelligence, right?

There'll be plenty of those in the future.

Let's say we've acquired critical intelligence,

but on our way back to base, we run into an unavoidable problem.

What do we do with the intel?

Your safety comes before the intel.

If your safety isn't guaranteed,

you abandon the critical intelligence.

But if, despite all that,

you find yourself in a life-or-death situation,

you pass on the intel using our team's protocol.

[Landmine]

Captain, you should watch your step.

Master Sergeant Park, search this area.

Yes, sir.

What is that protocol?

Find the bird's nest in the closest tree due west...

and secure the intel inside it.

A bird's nest?

They're sturdy, they have good drainage,

and they're hard to see from the ground.

I see.

Master Sergeant Park!

Sir!

I'll check it out.

I found it.

[Landmine]

If anything should happen to me,

I'm trusting you to find this.

Captain Kim Do Gi.

Master Sergeant Yoo Sun A sacrificed herself...

to save her comrades.
