Initially Sakamoto is valuable to the case because of his ability to communicate with the terrorists. He is later removed from the case when it is discovered that his father had some previous involvement with the terrorist group. Sakamoto's desire to solve the mystery involves threatening the powerful Inoue Foundation. This only makes him more passionate about its resolution and after uncovering more on his own, he discovers that reality isn't how it should be. It then becomes his new mission to restore history to its rightful path.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It has a limited release overseas as seen in Asia and in North America, most of them having official English subtitles and dubs, depending on the country/territory where you purchase the movie.It was adapted from In Search of the Epitaph, by Bok Geo-il, which has similiar settings, but has way more drama then this.Essentially Fatherland with an Asian slant.

Armor-Piercing Question: Sakamoto asks his captor why they're doing horrible things to make fellow Koreans suffer. Her answer was that they're fighting for independence and she asks whether he should treat his cop father as one since he was arrested for corruption and for covertly supporting the Hureisenjin.
