Quotes3

  • Maj. Gen. Bruno Botta: You haven't learned much about Panmunjom yet. Here, the peace is preserved by hiding the truth. What they both really want is that this investigation proves nothing after all.
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: So, you're an armchair anthropologist.
  • Maj. Gen. Bruno Botta: This armchair is not so comfortable anymore after this nasty incident.
  • Maj. Gen. Bruno Botta: But this is a very special case. The perpetrator is already in custody, and we even have his confession. Our job is to find out not who, but why. Also, what's important is not the outcome, but the procedure. Right now the Korean peninsula is like one big switch, between tension and reconciliation. Talks are taking place in Beijing and Panmunjon, day in, day out, and at the same time clashes continue. In short, these discussions between the South and the North could be seen as taking place in a... in a dry forest. Even one small spark could burn the whole forest down. Your ultimate goal is to remain perfectly neutral, and not to provoke either the South or the North. Got it?
  • Maj. Sophie E. Jean: So, my job is then to stand at the borderline and ask, Could you please tell me why you pulled the trigger?
