Officers or soldiers,
I won't tolerate anyone slacking on the job!
Each group leader, take 20 new POWs
and go to your work areas!
Go!
Jong-dae!
Jun-shik!
You're alive!
I was so worried I'd never see you again
Are you okay?
I'm fine. When did you get here?
About two months ago
I rule here
Nothing for you to worry about now
Korean dog! Jong-dae Lee!
I didn't like the way you were talking
I'm sorry...
Thought I'd say that?
You damn Jap!
Dare call me a Korean dog?
Give me that
Still think I'm a damn soldier under you?
You stupid son of a bitch!
This isn't Kyung-sung or Nomonhan!
This is the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!
I'm the colonel here!
And I'm the king!
You got that, fool?
Got that, you damn Japs!
Colonel
Wake up, sir!
Noda
If you wanna stay alive, stay out of my sight
Hey!
So damn cold
If we don't warm him up, He'll die
Please move
Who cares?
That bastard's not even worth stomping on
I beg you
Make room for him, please
Try saving him, then It probably won't work
What are you doing! We have to save the Colonel!
Mukai! Lf he's a goner, bring him to the incinerator
No use watching him die Let's go
Jun-shik, have a drink
Look at that
If you get frostbitten here,
you end up being firewood like him
This is the warmest place in the whole camp
Your legs are your life Take good care of 'em
I like it here
No Japs calling me a Korean dog
We should go back when the war's over
I'm not
There's nothing
but pulling a rickshaw there
Having a drink reminds me of home
Eun-soo's probably fine, right?
I miss her
All stand!
Starting the day without bowing
towards our Emperor is contemptible
There is no exception here!
Get up!
No need. Keep eating
It's an order!
Crazy bastard
Everyone stand! Now!
Private Jun-shik Kim! Get up!
Private Kim!
We're no longer your subordinates
We were unjustly dragged and forced to become Imperial soldiers
As the Soviets can't demand reform,
you have no right to force us to bow
Remember
From now on, I'm not Private Jun-shik Kim
but the Korean marathoner Jun-shik Kim!
Crazy fool!
You want to die!
You're the crazy one who killed hundreds of soldiers!
Commit hara-kiri like Colonel Takakura!
Bastard!
Since you have the energy to fight, guess you're not hungry enough
Grudges between a Korean and a Japanese, huh?
You got your wish
Fight till one of you dies!
Kill him, Jun-shik! Hurry!
Jun-shik!
Jun-shik! Hurry!
Jun-shik!
One of us should've died
Today's the day
Colonel! The knife, sir!
Colonel! Colonel!
Jun-shik! The knife!
Kill me, Korean dog!
Kill him!
Hold it up right!
Hurry up and do it!
Stop slacking off!
When did this happen?
It's okay, Jun-shik
Don't
It's okay
Hold still
Germany invaded the Soviet Union
The Soviets may speed up exchanging POWs to reinforce their army
Number 1277!
He's one of your men
Anton! Go catch him!
Yes, sir!
It's time for frosebite examination
Where's Choon-bok?
Take him away
Gwang-choon!
No! No!
Drag him out!
Let's go!
I'm fine! I can still work, sir!
Tell 'em Jun-shik!
I want to live, Jun-shik!
Gwang-choon!
- I want to live, Jun-shik! - Gwang-choon!
I want to live, Jun-shik!
Let go!
Help!
Gwang-choon!
Choon-bok? Choon-bok?
You're not hiding in here, are you?
Choon-bok?
- You son of a bitch! - Shut up!
Come out, pal!
Come out!
You wanna die?
I was starving
Put the bread down and come out now
What do we do?
Who's there?
How dare you steal, you bastard!
He's the one
- He's the thief! - What are you doing?
Tell 'em I didn't eat it! Please Jong-dae!
Jong-dae! Jong-dae!
A rat sneaked into our food storage today
Luckily we caught him, thanks to comrade Anton
As you know, stealing is punishable by death
Jong-dae! Tell 'em I didn't eat it!
I'm scared!
Tell 'em I didn't eat the bread!
Execute him!
Jun-shik! Gwang-choon! Make it back home alive!
Is it because of this?
This is more important than a friend's life?
This is who you really are?
Call yourself human?
Yeah, I'm not human
I'm not the Jong-dae you know!
I'm Anton!
I'm Anton, you bastard!
Call me Anton from now on! Got that!
How long do you think this armband will protect you?
How could you do that to Choon-bok?
What do you know?
You don't know anything!
Shut up and stay out of my life
Do you know that Gwang-choon died?
He's probably nothing, but ashes by now
If you pull that again in front of them, I'll kill you
Your emperor abandoned you
How dare you speak of our Emperor!
POW repatriation has been denied
We showed mercy on you, but the Japanese refused
They're battling Americans in the Pacific
and have no interest in you
You expect me to believe that?
Imperial soldiers are sons of the Emperor
A father does not abandon his son
That's what you want to believe
You naive, poor, abandoned son
You will also face death in the incinerator here
It's a Kokeshi
Is your hometown Yamagata?
You're good
You know, sir? Have you been there?
My grandfather took me there when I was young
It's a beautiful place
I grew up there my whole life
My family ran a carpentry shop for generations
When I go back,
I want to be a great carpenter like my father
Do you know why I chose to be your adjutant for Nomonhan, sir?
Because I saw your firm conviction for our country in your eyes
Conviction
Look out!
Son of a bitch!
Tsukamoto!
You okay? Wake up!
I go easy on you, you cripple, and for what!
Jong-dae!
We're doing our best, too!
Your best?
I'll show you my best in beating! You son of a bitch!
You call that your best! You bastards!
This is the best!
Jong-dae Lee!
It's Anton, fool!
He's dead
Lieutenant!
What?
Never seen a man die before?
Get back to work, you bastards!
Work, you fools! Get back to work now!
You fools never listen!
Damn Jap! How dare you!
Stop it!
I told you to stay out of my way!
Damn Jap!
I gotta beat it into your head?
You bastards!
Damn Jap!
You son of bitch!
Kill 'em!
Bastards! Back to your posts!
Stop! You bastards!
There is no mercy for those who started the riot!
Begin the executions!
It's an urgent telegram, sir
Grab a uniform!
Change into now!
Germany has declared war against us
Comrade Stalin has given you too, your final calling
The choice is yours
Those who want to convert may wear Soviet army uniforms
- Go get the uniforms! Hurry! - Yes, sir
Hurry up and put it on!
Anton
This is a great opportunity for you
I hope you come back victorious
Long live the Soviet Union!
Good luck!
Comrade!
Please give them a chance, too
Let them go!
Thank you, sir! Long live the Soviet Union!
Hurry up and put it on!
Hasegawa Tatsuo This is your last chance
I'IIsay it one more time. Put it on.
Let's give it a good shot
It's better than freezing to death
Right, Jun-shik?
Long live the Soviet Union! Hurrah!
Bastards
The Soviet army uniform suits our colonel so well, doesn't it?
"DECEMBER, 1941 ZHEDOVSK, SOVIET UNION"
Get off! Get off, now!
Get off!
Long live the Soviet Union!
Hurrah!
Get off! Move it!
This will be a grave for the Germans' today!
Thank you, sir!
Show the cowardly Germans the valor of the Soviet army!
It's mine!
You are proud Soviet soldiers!
Charge! Attack!
Charge!
Charge! Attack!
Charge!
Fire!
Charge! Charge!
Let go, you bastard!
What? You wanna live, too?
I do, too!
I'm not dying here! You die!
You die!
Tatsuo!
Move it! Move it!
Charge! Charge!
Charge!
Jong-dae!
Damn bastards!
No bullets!
Jong-dae! Let's run! This is dying like dogs!
It may be for you, but not me!
Charge!
You don't have any more bullets!
Charge! Charge!
Charge!
Jong-dae! Stop!
Come back!
There is no retreat! Charge!
Charge! Attack!
There is no retreat!
Attack!
Charge!
Jong-dae!
Charge!
Jong-dae!
What's with my goddamned life
Shit, I wanted to live it up
I'm so sorry, Jun-shik
Jong-dae
I want to see Eun-soo
I miss Eun-soo
Jun-shik
No, Jun-shik
Stay right here
Don't go out there
Charge! There is no retreat!
I'll kill anyone who tries to run!
Charge ahead! Attack!
Fools!
Attack!
Imperial soldier don't retreat!
Charge!
Attack!
You'll need it to make it over the mountains
Where do you plan to go?
To German territory
I hope we're going the right way
I hope the snow stops
Even if we make it to German territory
it won't be easy to make it back home
You don't have to come, if you don't want to
Back then
Why didn't you kill me?
Tatsuo!
Wake up!
I'll go find some medicine
kim...
Jun-shik kim
I'll be right back
Help! Help me!
Help me! I'm a Japanese soldier
My friend's in danger
What's he saying?
I'm a Japanese soldier
We're on the same side!
Take him away!
I'm a Japanese soldier, not a POW!
Let go!
You bastard!
Help me!
A man is dying! Please!
Take him away, now!
Let go! Let go!
Tatsuo!
Let go!
Tatsuo!
Search every corner
You go up that way
"3 YEARS LATER"
There's word that the Allied Forces
will invade Nord-Pas-de-Calais
Then we hit the jackpot getting stationed in Normandy
If Germany loses, aren't we all dead anyways?
Think they'll take us back?
We'd be lucky if they don't call us traitors and shoot us
That's why we should run away
You said you'll run for 2 years now
I'm going for sure this time
I heard from a man in another unit
There's a secret merchant ship to Jamaica at Cherbourg Harbor
How'll you get there? Swim?
If you get caught trying to run, you'll be shot!
Wanna make a bet?
I bet 50 marks you can't run away
Bet 100 marks, stupid
Bet even your boots, you pig
"May, 1944, NORMANDY, FRANCE"
Our battalion will build additional defense walls
and defense lines in the Atlantic
From tomorrow, you will build defense walls
on the shore with unit 795
Our job is to build the defense encampment on Normandy hill
March forward! Hurry up!
Squad 3! Unit 2! Go to barracks 14!
Hey
Shouldn't you give up looking for your Korean friend?
You're the only Asian here
That guy's so lucky
He gets to go in and out of base at will
Tatsuo! Aren't you coming in?
Let's go
Go ahead, I'll rest here for a sec
See ya later, then
I thought you might be dead
But you're here in the Eastern battalion
When did you come to Normandy?
Jun-shik?
Did you say something?
Can you repeat it?
Tatsuo!
It's more comfortable this way
I can't hear gunshots or screams
It's over
Let's play soccer
Tatsuo!
We're going to play against Squad 8!
Man, they're fast
I sometimes think of when we first ran together
The day you moved in I lost cuz my rubber shoes fell off,
But I was happy to have a new running mate
We came much too far
How long will it take to run home from here?
More than a year, right?
We know the Allied forces will attack Nord-Pas-de-Calais
The Eastern battalion will all be sent to Nord-Pas-de-Calais!
You will all be reborn as true German soldiers!
Pack up your gear
We move out at 09:00 hours tomorrow!
Dismissed!
We're all dead I thought we'd be safe in Normandy
What's going on?
We're being transferred
It's nothing
Sending us to battle but feeding us this rubbish
I thought we'd get wine and steak when we came to France
Damn
Karim
I'm going to Cherbourg at dawn
Are you crazy?
I got the contact info from Roman
Is Roman going?
That liar
How will you get there?
The food truck always leaves at dawn
We gotta go when you're on watch
Think it over
If you get caught, you're dead
Is it cuz of your friend?
Fine
I'll see you at dawn
We're not going to Nord-Pas-de-Calais
We're going to Cherbourg
Cherbourg?
A ship there will take us home
Jun-shik
Let's go home
where your sister and father are
Can we really make it home?
We could get killed on the way
Still, we can't die here
Karim!
Tatsuo!
Those aren't planes, are they?
Tatsuo!
Jun-shik!
Tatsuo!
Tatsuo! Tatsuo!
Jun-shik!
Stay there!
I'll come to you! Wait for me!
Hurry! It's an attack!
Prepare for battle!
All units to battle positions!
The Allied Forces have attacked!
To your battle positions!
Hurry and grab the machine gun!
Grab it!
Everyone to your battle positions!
Move it! Move it!
Fire!
Jun-shik!
Tatsuo!
Are you okay? Let's get out of here, now!
Grab the machine gun! Now!
Hurry up, you fools!
Can't you see the enemy!
Reload and fire, now!
Allied forces attacked!
Send re-inforcements!
Damn it
Let's run for it
Don't lag behind
You'll be watching my back as you run
Are you okay?
This won't kill me
Let's go!
Jun-shik
Come on! We have to get home!
Tatsuo
Are you okay?
Jun-shik
You're Jun-shik Kim from now on
If you say you're Japanese, they might kill you
Say you were dragged here and forced into the Eastern battalion
Jun-shik! Wake up!
I have no regrets
Though I couldn't achieve my dream
You can't go like this!
Let's go home and run together!
Jun-shik
I wanted to run again when I go back home
Promise you'll make it back alive...
Jun-shik!
I sometimes think of when we first ran together
The day you moved in
I was happy to have a new running mate
Ready, go!
