Road Number One
Episode 4
This program has received production support from Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).
This drama spans the first year of the Korean War,
which broke out on June 25, 1950 and raged for three years.
Most of the events of the Korean War have been dramatically recreated
and do not reflect any actual individuals or troops.
After participating in taking down North Korean guerrilla fighters,
Jang Woo returned to his hometown
and learns of his beloved Su Yeon's plan to marry.
After 2 long years,
the couple's poignant meeting lasted just one day.
The Korean War broke out,
and the couple had no choice, but to part again.
Burning with intense jealousy, Tae Ho
becomes determined to put Jang Woo in detention,
after Jang Woo disobeys his order during a local draft.
Ultimately, Jang Woo gets sent to training
to become what was referred to at the time as a human bullet shield Platoon Leader.
Episode 4
August 2, 1950 Nakdong River Defense Line
Aigoo! Aigoo, Hyungnim, they're bombing! Aigoo!
Hyungnim!
Woo Tae!
- Incoming! Get down! - Get down!
Incoming!
Enough!
Stop it already! Stop!
Aren't you getting sick of this yet, you bastards?!
Just stop!
I think it stopped.
I think they've stopped bombing.
This is trouble.
They're going to come any minute now.
Just after the bombing stops,
the enemy swarms over us.
Those bastards... those bastards aren't people.
They're demons, demons.
I'm scared to death.
They're going to come again today.
They're coming from behind too!
Shooting from behind!
Withdraw to camp!
Head back to camp!
We'll be wiped out here!
Withdraw to camp!
Eagle, Black Kite here! Eagle, come in!
Bombing support needed!
Coordinates!
Delta! Listen to me!
2- 0- 6- 4
1- 8- 5- 3
Get out!
Over here!
Please save our little brother!
I'm still alive, right?
That's right. You're alive.
I guess the battle is over?
I'm so sleepy.
Oh Lord! Demons have killed a man!
Demons have killed him!
Sleep deeply now; the battle's over.
How many days has it been?
It's been 4 days.
We've had 17 casualties.
It's water! Water!
What are you, bums?!
What are you doing, punks?!
What the hell are you doing?!
Hey punk!
Use your canteens, you bastards!
Canteens! Canteens!
You punks! What the hell are you doing?!
Captain.
What are you doing?
The boys... the boys are thirsty.
The boys say they're thirsty!
Thirsty. Thirsty. They say...
It's rain!
It's raining! Look!
Hey, it's raining!
How long is it going to be?!
How long?!
Hello!
Please.
I didn't know it was going to rain... earlier.
Me neither.
Where are you coming from?
There was an emergency patient.
A local man was eating rice cakes and had severe stomach issues.
Aren't you a neurologist?
If I'm needed, I need to try to help fix whatever it is.
Ah, I see.
Of course, the patient is all better?
Excuse me?
Because an angel went to him.
Is there something on my face?
No, I'm just happy.
About what?
Because of the shower, the day has gotten cooler,
and I got to run into you.
Next time, let's just plan to meet here.
Saturday at 2:00.
How about it?
What?
Is this the first time you've been asked on a date?
Lieutenant Shin,
I'm going to wait here until you come out.
I saw you passing,
before the rain.
I figured if I waited,
you'd come, and if you came I'd be able to see you.
Blindly?
If you go, you'd have to come back.
There are people
who don't come back, no matter how long you wait.
However, someone else came instead.
I was determined after I first saw you,
that I would wait for you, solidly in one place, like this tree.
Lieutenant Shin.
Yes?
I don't think I'll have a change of heart.
I'll go now. I have to stop by the clinic.
I can wait
until you have a change of heart.
Su Yeon,
you're doing well, right?
Su Yeon,
and my father?
I'm at a platoon leader training facility in Busan.
During the two years while we were fighting the North Korean guerillas,
I lived drawing only you.
But right after I've come back to you,
we've parted again.
But,
that one day I saw you only for a moment
is making it possible for me to endure this again.
Stay alive, Su Yeon.
If you're alive,
someday, without fail,
I believe we'll meet again.
I love you!
What?
I said I love you!
Are you okay?
Hurry and come out!
What?!
I love you.
Hey.
It's just me.
Are you all right?
Yes.
The Battalion command center is summoning.
Report our situation to the Battalion Commander
and go make a trip to Busan.
- Busan? - Yeah.
Go to the training center,
pick up the new platoon leaders that have passed their training,
and come back.
The situation on the front lines isn't good.
- I can't leave my post... - That's why I'm saying go and return.
You, at least, should get some rest.
And change your uniform before you go.
And look in a mirror, pal.
Just look at your state, kid.
Don't get startled if you look in the mirror
and an unknown face pops up.
And don't be saddened at how miserable your face looks.
I'll see you up there.
Oh and,
don't worry too much about this place while you're gone.
While you're gone,
me and the men here will be exactly as we are.
[Busan Station]
- 2nd Company, right? - Yes.
We're meeting at 18:00 sharp.
[Lee Jang Woo, 1525174, Second Lieutenant]
Would you like a drink before you take off?
I know of a great beer hall.
Wow, it feels good to smell a woman after a month.
Whaddya say, should we get a drink?
But the meeting at Busan Station is at six.
Then you have plenty of time!
Great! Let's go.
Hey, Lieutenant Lee.
What, are you looking for? Your girlfriend?
Come with us to get a drink.
[Looking for... ]
Lieutenant,
I'll be your girlfriend for today.
It's all right.
Lieutenant.
Little Agassi...
Aish.
Little Agassi.
Aigoo.
Little Agassi,
what is all this?
Make up, spiked heels...
What about it?
Isn't it enough to just be alive in these battlegrounds?
- What about Su Yeon? - I don't know.
How would I know?
Let go!
Take this.
It's not much.
Because I'm doing this, you think I've thrown away my pride too?
Do I look like a joke?
Please take it.
Well, if you insist.
Then, I'll be your girlfriend for a day.
What am I saying?
Sorry.
Meeting you in this get-up, I was just taken aback.
What about my father?
Abum* died. (*a way of addressing an elderly manservant/also a father)
He didn't even make it into the boat that day.
Yeah, the day that we crossed the Han River,
Unni yelled out to you. You didn't hear?
Don't worry.
We buried and sent him off there,
Unni and I.
We couldn't make him a proper grave,
but still, we buried him in the ground.
Thank you.
If I knew it would be like this,
I should have been better to him.
I still miss him, more than ever.
[International Market]
I shouldn't have said anything.
Thanks for fixing my shoe.
To Busan! To Busan!
Hey Jang Woo! Come on, quickly!
I'll take you to where Unni is.
Are you going to get on or not?
What are you doing?
But,
about Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho,
is he safe?
Excuse me?
The rumors say that the fighting's been fierce at the Nakdong River Defense line.
I hear that bunches of soldiers die a day.
Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho
is not a soldier to fall that easily.
I'm sure he's alive.
When the war is over,
do you think we can all return to what our lives were like before?
It's over there.
Around the corner from the railway,
the first alley, just look for the cotton gin building.
The free clinic next to it is where Unni works.
You're not coming with me?
Forget it.
If I go like this, who knows how she'll to nag me?
When you see Unni,
don't tell her I told you where she was.
Jang Woo,
I can't take this money.
How can I spend the money you worked so hard to earn?
You use it where you need to.
Little Agassi.
You think I told you where Unni was for a bit of money?
Don't turn me into a joke.
I still have at least that much pride left.
Who said otherwise?
In my eyes, you still
seem the nose-in-the-air, lordly Little Agassi of the House.
Really?
Of course.
You know Unni likes apples.
Please give us a bag of apples.
Su Yeon.
Little Agassi,
I'm going now.
Let's stay alive and meet again.
Jang Woo!
You need to take this!
Su Yeon!
Su Yeon.
Kim Su Yeon.
Lieutenant Shin!
You are safe!
I was worried.
Who...
It's me,
Su Hee.
You don't recognize me?
Su Hee?
Yes.
Do you recognize me now?
[Station Plaza Books]
Welcome.
Su Yeon.
Su Yeon!
Kim Su Yeon!
Su Yeon!
[Free Clinic]
Oppa.
Oppa!
Look straight at me.
It's okay.
I'm all right now.
If your breathing difficulty worsens,
you could go into shock.
Oppa, stay here for the time being.
If you move again, it'll be dangerous.
What about the bag?
Did you get it?
Are you listening to me?
You could die!
The bag.
Good work.
Now, I won't bother you with this sort of thing anymore.
And you won't have to toil taking care of my sickness, either.
What are you saying?
What are you planning?! Oppa!
I'm... going to Pyeongyang.
After the rebellion today,
I'm going to get on a boat with my comrades.
Then, what about us?
What are Su Hee and I supposed to do?!
This war won't go for long.
If you wait a little bit,
the 3 of us can meet again and live together in a better world.
Stop talking nonsense!
You travel in this state, and you'll die!
You won't even make it Pyeongyang.
You'll just die on the boat!
Please, Oppa.
Think of us and please don't do it.
Please.
Thanks for all your help,
comrade Kim Su Yeon.
Lee Jang Woo!
Su Yeon.
When did it start?
What?
You working the bars dressed like that?
Only a few days.
And I haven't made as much money as I thought I would.
Your sister would be really upset if she knew you were doing this.
Well, it can't be helped.
I'm not as clever as Unni.
If I wore a white gown like Unni and tended to patients,
I bet I'd look impressive.
I thought about studying to be a doctor or a nurse.
Nurse?
If I appeared like an angel in white,
then you might have given me a second glance.
What?
I was jealous of Unni.
Because of you.
Eat your food.
If you want to study to be a nurse, then do it.
It's not too late.
I've already come to this.
How could I?
Don't give up.
It's the world that's become a mess. You've done nothing wrong.
You can still go to school,
and study to be a doctor or a nurse, whatever you want.
Do you...
believe I could do it?
You can do it.
Have some courage.
If you see your sister, tell her
I'm still waiting for an answer.
She'll know what it means.
Goodbye.
Be careful.
It's strange.
I thought we'd have a lot to say when we met again.
And a lot of questions.
Even
just sitting with you like this
feels like a dream.
When do you have to report?
6:00.
There's not much time left.
Is there anything you want to eat?
Name anything. I'll buy it for you.
Then, what should we do?
Shall we go look at the ocean?
I want to draw.
You.
I want to draw you,
and remember you.
The world's
most beautiful, Su Yeon.
Su Yeon, just a second.
That hand...
shouldn't be holding a gun, but a brush.
I'm sorry.
For what?
When I think of you, I think of how sorry I am for everything.
Foolish talk.
I wanted to see you.
I missed you.
Su Yeon. Just a second.
You look pretty.
If you drink this medicine,
and you go to the Incheon sea and the cider is floating, you CAN drink it.
If you drink this medicine, and urinate,
the road gravel will fly in circles.
Aigoo, nice. Bupada bupada bu ba pa.
You gotta try it once.
And, kids, you go.
While I'm still talking nice, go...
Bupada bupada bu ba pa.
So who wants to be first this morning?
Unni!
Run away.
Unni, Jang Woo, run away!
I said run away!
- Su Hee! - Little Agassi.
Please let Unni go. Please?
Cadet! Cadet!
Unni, I'll see you later.
[Barber]
Jang Woo,
go back now.
Don't move.
If you keep moving,
the image breaks.
Go back,
even if you're late.
Don't worry about me.
I'll stay alive somehow
and wait till you return.
This time,
I'm going to believe it to the very end.
Even if everyone in the world
says that you're dead,
I'll believe my Jang Woo is alive.
And so,
he'll absolutely come back to me.
Remember me like this.
Hold it gently in your eyes,
so you won't lose your way,
so you can return.
Su Yeon,
I've made a decision.
So, you have to go along with my decision too.
What is it?
I'll tell you when I'm done drawing.
Aside from Lieutenant Lee Jang Woo, everyone is present.
What should we do?
You go on ahead.
Excuse me?
I will bring Lee Jang Woo.
I'm going to live and go with you.
To Kim Su Yeon.
What, you guys want to be war heroes or something?!
I won't run away any longer.
I'm confident. Give me one chance.
Platoon Leader, save me!
Captain, please give the order.
We can't contact them; to say it was a failure.
You take one more step, and I'll kill you.
Su Yeon...
Right now, I so intensely want to hear the sound of your heart.
Captain!
Captain.
Excuse me!
Our national army will be here soon.
