Louise: Katherine, are you in the Portsmouth Prison?

Waters: Actually i am here because Doctor Zakharov called me.

Louise: I want you to look at the Korean Prisoner named Choi Chun Ae.

Waters: Sure, why?

Louise: I want to study her so in case if something happened to him, you know.

Waters: Alright.

Waters went to the Interrogation Room with Chun Ae.

Waters: Chun Ae, Do you speak English?

Chun Ae remains silent.

Waters: Chun Ae, I am Katherine Waters from the Central Intelligence Agency. I am here to ask questions about you. Can you speak english?

Chun Ae: Yes, Miss Waters.

Waters: Alright, time to ask questions. What is your Full Name and Rank and your unit.

Chun Ae: Choi Chun Ae, Sergeant of the Republic of Korea Army. Fierce Tiger Division.

Waters: You know this man?

Waters shows the picture of Chun Ae's Deceased Lover.

Chun Ae: Yeon Seok.

Waters: Calm down.

Chun Ae broke down and cried.

Waters: His name is Moon Yeon Seok, He is your Captain in the same unit. He died in Pyongyang in 2011 after a Terror Attack, He died due to Gunshot Wounds according to the Army Records.

Chun Ae: I Killed Him.

Waters: Chun Ae, Its not true. I read the records and even the testimonies.

Chun Ae: I let him die.

Waters: That is just in your mind, Chun Ae. I know that you love him. All what you said is not true.

Chun Ae: Miss Waters.

Waters: You were court martialled for executing 15 Terrorists. But the Charges are Dropped and Afterwards, you were sent here and you tried to kill yourself using bedsheets but you failed. Why?

Chun Ae: I do not deserve to live. I want to be with him.

Waters: Chun Ae, Do you believe in Second Chances?

Chun Ae: I do not believe in Second Chances. I let him die so i am a failure.

Waters: And do you know why they saved you?

Chun Ae: I dont know.

Waters: Because you deserve a Second Chance and a New Life.

Chun Ae: And you think that i deserve a Second Chance?

Waters: Yes.

Chun Ae: For me, its a no. I came to the Army for a Chance of a Lifetime, to start a new life and Yeon Seok became part of it, But that Chance was gone when he died.

Waters: And you think you are a failure?

Chun Ae: Yes.

Waters: For me, you are not a Failure. I know that you are a Good Soldier. I believe in Second Chances because life goes on and its not the end.

Chun Ae: For me, it is the end. Its all over, The Second Chance will never save me and it will never bring back Yeon Seok.

Waters: Speaking of Yeon Seok, did his soul visited you?
