[soldier yawns]
[groans]
Hwang Jang-soo, that damn asshole.
He's making me do his work until the very end.
[sighs]
Hey. [sniffles]
They must have fucked up the schedule
seeing how I'm here to replace someone who was discharged.
Don't you agree?
Yes, I agree, sir.
You fucking asshole.
When you say something, I want you to mean it, okay?
I'm sorry, sir.
Hey, I'm bored. Let's see the anti-aircraft missile.
We should keep doing it so you can get better.
[sighs]
[soldier scoffs] What was that?
Did you just sigh?
Did you?
What's with you today? Have you lost your mind?
Hey.
This isn't your first time…
That's enough, sir.
[scoffs]
Hey.
I'm really sorry.
It was a joke.
Is that what you expected, you asshole?
Do you think this is some kind of a joke, you fucking punk?
Do you think I'm a joke, you fucking bastard?
It's your fault for not joining the army sooner than I did.
You fucking…
-You fucking bastard! -[soldier gasps]
Die, you fucker! Die, you prick!
What did you fucking say, you asshole?
Die! Fucking die!
Just die, you fucking dickhead!
Fucking die!
Just fucking die!
Die, you fucking asshole. [pants]
Fuck you. [sighs]
Just die. Die, you asshole.
[pants]
[Byeong-su stammers] Private Cho Suk-bong, sir.
[stutters] The next person on duty is going to be late.

540 DAYS UNTIL DISCHARGE
[commander sighs]
So, this happened in our unit, and this is one of our guys?
Yes, sir.
-Corporal Ryu I-gang was-- -What's your plan?
He's already left the garrison, so we should carry out a full-scale search
with the help from our soldiers and the CDC.
We'll ask for some military dogs and form an arrest team…
[commander] Captain Lim, what do you think?
I think we should do as Sergeant Park says.
-If this gets delayed-- -[commander] You think so?
Are you sure?
I'm asking if you really agree with him.
A full-scale search is a good idea,
but having a lot of men doesn't really guarantee anything,
so it might also be a good idea to do this quietly.
Yes, you're right. Who are we?
We're the military police. We police the military.
We can't have a deserter when we're the ones who catch them.
Let's not make things worse by letting everyone know.
-But we need help from the police to-- -[screams] If the police find out…
the press will also find out!
[commander] We are the military! We can't have any of that!
[Beom-gu sighs]
[commander] Shut up and do as I say!
[door opens]
We don't have time, so we'll have to split up.
You're fine alone, right?
Yes, sir.
MILITARY POLICE GENERAL'S OFFICE
Sergeant Park.
[Beom-gu] It's okay, sir.
I understand.
Go on. Get a move on.
[sighs]
Fucking hell…
[Beom-gu] Have you ever raised a dog?
When a dog bites its owner,
that dog needs to be put down.
It's hard to forgive a dog that bites a person…
because it might do it again.
But what if it bit the owner
because the jerk threw rocks and abused the dog?
Then wouldn't the dog think it's unfair?
Are you saying Private Cho
is a dog?
[scoffs]
We're no different.
BUS TERMINAL
Go on.
Let's bring Suk-bong back.
[teacher] Guys.
Have any of you gotten any calls or texts from Mr. Bongdhi lately?
-[students] No. -[exhales]
[teacher sighs] I'm sorry.
I guess they haven't.
Okay.
But…
why do you call him Mr. Bongdhi?
Ah.
That's Mr. Cho's nickname.
Because he's like Gandhi.
He's so kind and patient.
[teacher] He never scolded the kids no matter how much they fooled around.
He just laughed it off. [chuckles]
Yes, he tends to be like that.
[sucks teeth]
Anyway, do you know where he might be or if he has any close friends?
If not, I'd like to take a look at his personnel record.
We have his résumé and manuscripts saved on the academy's server.
May I take a look at that?
Well…
we can't give outsiders access.
It contains personal information and our students' portfolios.
[smack lips, sucks teeth]
[Jun-ho] I don't think he's contacted any of his acquaintances.
I've done the rounds but got nothing.
-Okay, sir. -[girl] Excuse me…
I figured…
you might need this.
ID: ANIFORCE 1 PASSWORD: ART_CREW1028
Mr. Bongdhi helped me get into college.
He's a really good person.
I don't know what this is about,
but please help him.
I will.
I promise.
[Ho-yeol] Do you know Private Cho Suk-bong?
I heard you enlisted in the army together.
Zoro? Yes.
[Beom-gu] "Zoro"?
We used to be in the same comic club.
We drew webtoons together.
Then are you Luffy?
[chuckles] Yes, I'm Luffy.
Sir, you know One Piece?
Why? Do you find that so strange?
So, you do.
[sighs]
Suk-bong deserted the army.
Pardon?
[Beom-gu] You've kept in touch after you enlisted, right?
Pardon? [sighs]
Yes.
[soldier] We're close.
So we'd meet up
during our leave and go watch anime together.
When did you see him last?
Has he ever complained that he was having a hard time?
[breathes shakily]
[moans hesitantly]
[crowd chatter]
KARON'S PLANET MOON'S SHADOW
SPECIAL SCREENING
Come and purchase the goods here.
Hey, Zoro. Zoro!
-What? -Zoro, what's the matter?
Is it because Yoko-chan didn't have enough screen time?
-It's okay. She'll appear more-- -Luffy.
I'm going to head home. I'm not feeling very well.
Okay.
[Suk-bong grunts]
Gosh, you fucking nerd.
-[Suk-bong] I'm sorry. -[man] Idiot.
Do you have a death wish, motherfucker?
[soldier] I've never seen him…
You fucking asshole.
-…like that before. -[pants]
That fucking jerk.
[door closes]
[PA beeps]
-[footsteps approaching] -[indistinct PA chatter]
[I-gang clicks tongue] What do you want to know?
What is it that you want to ask?
What?
Are you here to play fucking detective with your senior?
Is seniority what comes to mind even at a time like this?
-What did you say, you jackass? -Do you think you'll be okay
if we don't catch Private Cho?
If they start investigating this,
they'll find out about all the irregularities in our unit.
Who do you think will be blamed?
How is that my fault? Fuck. How am I to blame?
There were others who were worse.
What about Hwang Jang-soo, that asshole?
Does he get off the fucking hook now that he's discharged?
Is it okay that he's back home now? [heavy breathing]
So hurry up and tell me.
I can help you.
[sighs]
The D.P. soldiers…
weren't there that day, right?
[exclaims]
-I can't believe you're going home. -[Jang-soo] Call me when you're out.
-Let's have soju together. -The fucking time…
[sneers]
I'll call you next week during my leave.
[Jang-soo] I'm sorry I was so hard on you guys.
Don't bother shaking hands. Just go. We need to get to work.
[Jang-soo] This jerk's always so cranky.
Time will slow down once you're in your last year.
Fuck you.
[ominous music plays]
[sighs]
Hey, Nerd.
[Jang-soo] I know I put you through a lot.
[ominous music playing continues]
Let's put all our good…
and bad memories behind us.
Hey, cry like a monkey.
-Cry like a monkey. Do it. -Bark.
Cry like a monkey.
Do it, you fucking idiot. Hurry up and do it.
-Cry like a monkey. -[all laugh]
You'll never meet a senior like me.
-I'm giving you a free hair removal. -Mm. Mm.
[Jang-soo] Why can't you fucking memorize it?
[coughs] I'm sorry, sir.
[Jang-soo] Are you stupid?
[Sung-bok coughs]
Is it comfy down there?
[cigar sizzles]
[Jang-soo] I'll see you guys.
What good memories?
What?
I want you to apologize.
Okay, fine.
I'm sorry, okay?
Happy now?
[I-gang groans]
Hey, you fucking nerd.
Can't you take a hint?
We were having a moment here. [clicks tongue]
Now get back to work.
I'm off.
[soldiers] Salute.
-[soldier 1] See you. -[soldier 2] Bye, Jang-soo.
-[I-gang] Bye. -[soldier 3] Salute.
Thank you for your service.
[I-gang sighs]
Let's go.
[soldiers] Yes, sir.
[I-gang] Let's go get some work done.
[foreboding music plays]
Did you find anything on their server?
[Gi-yeong] I poked around in there…
and something was uploaded to Suk-bong's folder two hours ago.
Two hours ago?
Damn it.
What should I tell them?
[Gi-yeong] I'll send you the file. Take a look.
[sudden music sting]
[sighs]
Corporal Han, this is An Jun-ho.
What? You think Suk-bong is on his way to meet Hwang Jang-soo?
What are you talking about?
Private Cho went online today and we're tracing the IP address.
We're trying to trace his current location too.
[keyboard clacking]
[suspenseful music plays]
Please don't do anything stupid, Suk-bong. Please.
[wind gust]
[Gi-yeong] The IP address that accessed the server
was at a highway rest area.
That IP didn't show up again after that.
It was just that one time.
[foreboding music plays]
I've got no idea what he's trying to do.
If he really is on his way to Hwang Jang-soo's place…
[Jun-ho] If the rest area is on the way to Seoul, we don't have much time.
[sighs] Of course.
But we need to know where he'll be getting off.
[inhales] I'll look into it again.
Bye.
[sighs]
Sir.
Does he not give a fuck what his senior says?
NEW SEONGNAM TERMINAL
[Jun-ho] It's Seongnam.
Hwang Jang-soo gave everyone his address when he was discharged.
[indistinct chatter]
Where are you?
You should hurry up, sir.
[Ho-yeol] It's like the Lunar New Year.
That's why I told you to…
Why couldn't you just cut in? Seriously.
If you go to the ticket office,
you'll find investigators and D.P. from other units.
There will be about 20 of them, so get going without us.
I'm at the ticket office, but…
Sir, I'm sorry, but where are…
[Gyu] Gosh, this is so annoying.
Why couldn't they tell us earlier that it's been canceled?
Just a second, sir.
[Seong-gon] Isn't it a good thing? I heard this guy used to do judo.
And you call yourself a D.P. soldier?
Guys.
-What? -What?
Why is it just you two? Where are the others?
What are you talking about?
They received a message from your unit saying the operation was canceled.
What?
What are you talking about?
The operation was canceled?
Lim Ji-seop, that punk.
REQUEST TO CANCEL OPERATION TO APPREHEND MP PRIVATE CHO SUK-BONG
He should have listened, that asshole.
[grunts]
[sighs]
Then what should we do? Private Cho is going to arrive soon.
What? I thought it was canceled.
[Beom-gu] I guess it's just us then.
We'll be there as soon as possible.
Okay, sir.
Are you going to help?
[ominous music plays]
[pants] Gosh, there are too many people.
[Jun-ho] I'll go to platforms one and two.
You two can check the rest.
Okay, got it.
I'll check platforms three and four.
-Seong-gon. -Yes?
[sighs] Let's catch him before they do this time.
If I catch him, you'd better buy me beef.
I'll get moving now.
Should I just shoot him?
[suspenseful music plays]
Gosh.
[suspenseful music playing continues]
[woman singing on cell phone]
[door opens]
[pants]
[breathes heavily]
[singing on cell phone continues]
Private Cho Suk-bong.
[music stops]
Can we…
Can we just talk for a bit?
Jun-ho, are you here to catch me?
No, it's not that.
I'm here to help.
So please…
I know how upset
and frustrated you are.
So…
So let's just talk for a bit.
Okay?
[both grunt]
Do you also think I'm an idiot?
[Jun-ho yelps]
[groans]
[grumbles]
Calm down, sir!
I'm not here to fight you.
[both grunt]
[both grumble]
Do you also think I'm an idiot?
[chokes]
I don't want to fight you, sir.
[both grunt]
[Jun-ho pants]
Please, don't do this. [coughs]
I've got you, you punk!
-[Sung-bok grunts] -[Seong-gon gasps]
-[foreboding music plays] -[panting]
[breathes heavily]
[speaks Hangul]
[startled moan]
Move the bus!
[Gyu] Seong-gon! Call 911!
Seong-gon.
Seong-gon. Seong-gon. [cries]
-[sighs] -[Gyu] Move the bus!
[Suk-bong pants]
[woman screams]
-I'm sorry. -[Beom-gu] Suk-bong.
-Cho Suk-bong! -[Ho-yeol] Come here, Suk-bong!
[Beom-gu] Cho Suk-bong!
[crowd exclaim]
[Beom-gu] Suk-bong! Cho Suk-bong!
[pants]
[Suk-bong] Fucking move! Move it!
[Beom-gu] Cho Suk-bong!
Suk-bong! [grunts]
[woman gasps]
[Suk-bong pants]
[Ho-yeol] Don't hurt anyone! Suk-bong!
-[grunts] -[crowd scream]
[Ho-yeol gasps]
[crowd clamor]
[Suk-bong] Get out of my way!
[Ho-yeol] Stop! Stop, stop…
-[crowd scream] -[Beom-gu pants]
Hey, you punk!
[Suk-bong pants]
[Beom-gu] Damn it.
I'll check theaters three and four. You check one and two.
[crowd laugh]
[heavy breathing]
[crowd cheer]
[man talking on screen]
Suk-bong.
[crowd laugh]
[crowd clamor]
[grunts, pants]
Gosh, what's he doing?
-What the hell do you think you're-- -[Suk-bong shouts]
[crowd clamor]
[panting]
[crowd scream]
What did I do wrong?
Why the fuck are you doing this to me?
[Suk-bong pants]
[foreboding music plays]
[crowd clamor]
[people talking on screen]
[pants]
Ho-yeol! Where's Suk-bong?
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm really sorry, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
[men laugh]
[commander] Did you say you're married?
-Yes, sir. -Any kids?
[clicks tongue]
I have three. Two girls and a boy, sir.
Gosh, you must have a lot of stamina.
-[laughs] -[chuckles]
That's good. [deep inhale]
It's expensive raising kids.
You really are a patriot.
-Thank you, sir. -[cell phone buzzes]
[cell phone rings]
-[cell phone buzzes] -[commander exhales]
Hello?
SERGEANT PARK BEOM-GU ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, SIR?
What?
Okay, hang up.
Couldn't you do a better job? What's the matter with you?
Pardon?
A soldier got hurt in Seongnam.
Cho Suk-bong got away.
What did I tell you? Huh?
I told you there should be enough men for the operation.
But I thought you wanted me to keep things quiet.
[commander grunts]
Hey.
Are you blaming me for this?
Are you trying to avoid taking responsibility?
No, I'm sorry, sir.
Tell me what happened again.
-Speak properly, you punk! -[door closes]
[scoffs]
[background chatter]
Where are the CDC guys?
[Jun-ho] They were taken to the Korean Armed Forces Seoul Hospital.
Fortunately, he'll be fine.
[Beom-gu] Good.
Do we…
need to go back, sir?
[Beom-gu] Yes.
It's already out in the open now.
The police will get involved, so they'll take care of it.
Anyway, let's get going now.
Yes, sir.
I need to use the bathroom first.
[sighs]
Ho-yeol.
Corporal Han Ho-yeol, sir.
You did the right thing.
I'm glad you didn't try to fight him.
Yes, sir.
[puffs]
Gi-yeong sent you Hwang Jang-soo's address, right?
Did you give it to the police?
Jun-ho has his address.
[cell phone buzzes]
BUILDING 102 UNIT 1116, YEOSU-DONG 200,
JUNGWON-GU, SEONGNAM, GYEONGGI PROVINCE
[Beom-gu] You fucking maniac! Where are you?
The police will get there too late. I need to go right now.
What?
[Jun-ho] Private Cho will be there right away.
How are you so sure, you punk?
It's my gut feeling, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Hey, Jun-ho! Hey! Hey!
[puffs]
[exhales]
Ho-yeol.
[car door opens, closes]
What are you doing?
Let me borrow your car, sir.
[Beom-gu] Huh?
[engine starts]
Private An just deserted. I should go catch him.
What? Hey. Hey.
Hey, wait. Hey, get back here! Hey!
[Beom-gu groans]
[huffs]
[man] Hey.
I told you to ask me before throwing this away.
It's past the expiration date.
Have you lost your mind? How dare you talk back.
Hey.
The store will run on a deficit if you throw them out
because of the expiration date.
Are you going to make up for that?
I'm sorry, sir. I'll do better.
Gosh, put it back.
I thought he'd be good because just got out of military service.
[cell phone buzzes]
[buzzing continues]
[sighs] That fucking jerk.
When should I kill him?
[grunts] Life was much better in the army. Fuck…
-[clicks tongue] -[doorbell dings]
[dinging continues]
Sergeant Hwang, why didn't you answer my calls?
What's going on?
-Is this a dream? -No, it's not a dream.
We don't have time.
-You know Private Cho Suk-bong, right? -What the fuck?
I can't believe this asshole is asking me about another asshole.
[deep inhale]
Private Cho is coming for you.
What?
-Please open the door. You're in danger. -Okay. Okay.
I got it. Thanks. Have a safe trip back.
-No, wait. -[door closes]
[Jun-ho sighs]
[exhales] This is driving me insane.
[chuckles] Seriously?
-[groans] -[horn honks]
This isn't Beom-gu's fault.
The traffic in Gyeonggi Province is hopeless.
[horn honks]
Why isn't he picking up?
-[cell phone buzzes] -Mm.
Hello?
-[guard] Goodbye. -[women] Bye.
[Jun-ho] No, Mom. That's not what I'm saying. I'm done here.
Yes. No, I'll be home soon.
Yes. I won't take long. Okay, bye.
[Ho-yeol] What are you on about?
Sorry, sir. There was a security guard.
Did you meet Jang-soo?
[sighs]
Wait for me. I'm on my way.
Just a second, sir.
[tense music plays]
Excuse me.
Who are you?
-Oh, I'm sorry. -[elevator dings]
[sighs]
[car engine starts]
[tires screech]
Private Cho Suk-bong!
[groans]
-[tires screech] -[both grunt]
[Jun-ho] Private Cho.
Private Cho! Wait!
[Suk-bong pants]
[grunts]
I'm sorry.
[Jun-ho grunts]
[tense music playing continues]
[both grumble]
Private Cho!
I'll make this quick.
[Suk-bong] Fuck!
[groans]
I'm sorry, sir.
[both grunting]
-[grumbles] -[gasps]
[pants]
Jun-ho.
You also beat up Park Sung-woo, remember?
I'm sorry. [heaves]
[elevator dings]
[foreboding music plays]
[elevator dings]
[ticking]
[dings]
[breathing heavily]
[foreboding music playing continues]
-[Jang-soo] I guess you missed me, Nerd. -[metal clangs]
[grunts]
You fucking psycho. What the fuck are you doing?
You should get up and salute your senior.
[metal clanks]
-What's wrong? -[breathes shakily]
Do I still scare you?
Can't you do it now that you're here?
[sighs] Hey.
Let me ask you something.
What is it that you want with me?
I mean, I was discharged. Huh?
It's over now.
What is it that you want to do to me?
Tell me.
I mean, seriously.
Did you really think you could do something to me?
[pants]
Did you?
Answer me, you fucking trash!
How long
were you planning to do this shit?
Answer me, you bastard!
You fucking asshole.
[heavy breathing]
Why are you shaking?
What?
[laughs]
Are you scared?
You fucking lunatic.
[man] Will you please be quiet?
Or I'll have to call the cops.
[Jang-soo] Call the cops. He's a fucking criminal.
-[grunts] -[yelps]
-[mysterious music plays] -[pants]
That asshole was scared of me.
[laughs]
That fucking asshole.
[grunts]
Fuck! [screams]
Fuck! [laughs]
Are you fucking scared of me?
Are you fucking scared of me, you asshole?
That fucking good-for-nothing bastard!
[cackles]
[dramatic music plays]
[exclaims]
[grunts]
[Suk-bong groans] Why the fuck…
-I'm sorry, sir. -Why the fuck?
Why for fuck's sake?
I was just getting started, you fucking bastard.
-I'm sorry, sir. -Fuck!
-I guess you caught the asshole. -You…
This is how far you can go, you fucking loser!
You bastard! Stay right there, you dickhead!
-Are you taking him to the police station? -[Suk-bong] You asshole.
-[Jang-soo] He's going to jail, right? -[Suk-bong] You fucking bastard!
-Hey. -[Sung-bokl] Fucking asshole.
Jang-soo.
Be grateful that you've been discharged.
[groans] What the fuck are you losers on about?
Hey, you asshole! Stay right there, you fucker!
[Suk-bong] Hey, stop him! Fuck!
Jun-ho, stop that fucker! Please! Fuck!
Fucking stop him! Shit!
[Beom-gu puffs]
[cell phone buzzes]
I was going to register you two as deserters after sunrise.
[Ho-yeol] The sun comes up late because it's winter.
[sighs] Gosh, you punks.
[exhales]
[Beom-gu] Hey, Ho-yeol.
Settle things with the cops and come back to the unit.
Okay, thanks.
Cho Suk-bong.
Killing someone isn't how you take revenge.
Do you think people repent when they're about to die?
They just die.
Fucking peacefully at that.
But the person who killed them…
ends up regretting it.
That fucker didn't even repent although I killed him.
But it's too fucking late to even hold him responsible.
And you end up regretting it forever…
thinking you should've let him live
and make him pay for what he did.
[Suk-bong] My ass…
What?
You knew everything.
You all just sat back and watched.
Private Cho.
Why should I be punished?
-He's the one who did wrong! -Suk-bong!
Why am I the one getting punished?
-Fucking why? -[Jun-ho] Suk-bong!
-Why? Fucking why? -[Jun-ho] Suk-bong!
-Suk-bong! Stop! -Why? Fuck! Why?
