## Appendix: Interview #1

A police officer describes Lieutenant Kang Soyoung, the only member of Police SWAT 4, as most unusual but more than capable, praising on her achievements in solving cases. More precisely, Soyoung is adept at finding leads and making progress in criminal investigations so much that even the officer's superior frequently asks for her help in solving cold cases. The officer argues that SWAT 4 could receive more recognition if Soyoung found a partner on her team. The interviewer asks where the Lieutenant is now, and the officer answers she is in the conference room writing a statement for the Commissioner on the vehicle she wrecked on the job.

Kang Soyoung tells the interviewer she joined the police force so a few reasons: first, her father had told her that government employees receive stable salaries; second, cops can legally speed (as she puts it); and third, catching criminals gives her a sense of pride and fulfillment. She admits that being the only real member of SWAT 4 is exhausting but claims she never thought of quitting not only because being a police officer generally suits her but also she's enjoying showing around the workplace to her new superior. The interview ends with Soyoung asking if it will affect her promotion.

The director of a auto-racing event congratulates a new driver for breaking another record on the circuit. When he and the senior driver talk about his chances of surpassing the overall course record, the driver asks about the top record that was shown to him the other day, noting how it was unparalleled to the records of championship racers. The Director explains that was an unofficial record that was broken during the time trial and describes the record-breaking driver as a very young woman who retired quite a long time ago to become a police officer. He recalled that the woman was smart but unpredictable, and the senior driver remembers she has a common name in spite of her memorable reputation.

Kang Soyoung and Lee Yumi head to a restaurant after completing their shifts. Yumi, disappointed in herself for being reckless and compromising their mission from earlier, demands to know why Soyoung hasn't shown any anger towards her. Soyoung tells her not to stop worrying about it so much since the mission was a still success, but Yumi still refuses to forgive herself because to her mistakes are excuses for incompetence. Soyoung argues that mistakes allow people to reflect on themselves and improve. She then explains how previous members of SWAT 4 left the division for fear of failure— since SWAT 4 deals specifically with Counter criminals, who are naturally far more dangerous than regular criminals, even the smallest mistake could cost members or their partners their lives. Soyoung stayed because she not only had no one to worry about anymore after becoming SWAT 4's sole member but also felt that someone needed to remain and do the job. Yumi maintains she won't make another mistake again.

Soyoung and Yumi are staking out for a key member of the Militia when a sniper fires at them from afar and grazes Yumi. Yumi rushes to find the attacker while another Militiaman sneaks up on Soyoung and threatens her with a gun to stay put until the Counter Criminal they're looking for is killed. Just as Soyoung recognizes his voice as her former boss's, the Militiaman's subordinate arrives in a vehicle and calls out to pick him up. The Militiaman tells Soyoung that her team leader is dead before he leaves.
