Legend of the Patriots
Episode 19
Get your hands off of him!
Shut your mouth!
Touch him, and I'll kill you!
You piece of shit, enough!
Stop it!
Let him go!
Come back here!
- Shut the hell up! - Sergeant... Sergeant!
Beomwoo... Beomwoo!
Sergeant Baek!!
Beomwoo...
You crazy son of a bitch, don't!
I don't want to die... Please...
Take a good look!
Don't...
Open your goddamned eyes and watch!
I beg you... don't kill me...
Ple...ase...
Serge...ant... Baek...
No!
Beomwoo!!
Beom... Beomwoo!!
No... No way...
This can't be...
There is no way.
This can't be real...
Sit down!
Don't move.
Take a single step,
and I'll execute you personally.
Lieutenant!
I told you...
not to do it, didn't I?
I told you...
not to kill that boy, didn't I?!
Don't tell me...
So even you beasts can feel sad?!
Even you are burning inside in fury and sorrow?
So even you are capable of such feelings?
That's right!
Come get some!
Comrade Woncheol!
Comrade!
Now that's better...
If you still consider yourself human,
you should at least do this much.
Li...Lieutenant...
Shoot.
Shoot, you bastards!
I!
Am their platoon leader!
Shoot!!
Shoot!
Shoot me, you bastards!
Why... Why aren't those pricks shooting him?
Looks like they ran out of ammo, too!
Platoon!!
Charge!
You southern puppets!
Don't... Stop it... Stop it!!
Afraid that's too late for that.
Remember Byeongcheol?
That merciless beast.
He'd even force little kids to fight for his own entertainment.
He'd tell them to punch each other in the face.
So those kids would just start pretending for a while,
but then it moved onto real punches,
and before you knew it, they were going at each other's throats.
Those weren't sworn enemies fighting each other.
Fighting itself slowly turned them that way.
After witnessing their parents, their brethren,
and even their brothers-in-arms die before their eyes.
That's when the real war begins.
And when every human value flies out of the window.
It's just enemies, beasts slaughtering each other,
as if dealing with pieces of meat.
Stop it!
That is the reason wars always seem to go on forever,
as the burning hatred keeps piling up without rest.
Dammit...
Without him by my side, I don't have anyone left I can talk to.
Hands up!
Goddamned war...
Stop it...
Stop!
Comrade Seongil... Stay away!
Back off!
Get out of here, Cheon Seongil.
Do it!
Get the hell out of my face, you wretched fool!
Go back hiding into that rathole of yours!
Stop... All of you!
I said enough!
What do you think you're doing?
We're at war!
I'll count to three.
Stop or I'll shoot you all!
- That crazy-ass... - Back off!
One!
Two!
I said back off... Now!
Cheon Seongil... This is war.
It's not the kind of fight one man can stop that way!
I don't care... You still need to stop this.
- No way.. - Cheon Seongil!
Comrade Seongil!
Stay down!
Fall back! Fall back!!
3rd Platoon. Pursuit.
Yes, Sir. Platoon! Proceed!
You stupid fools... Wait for the ammo, will you?!
What the hell did you get yourselves into?
Beomwoo...
Get moving!
Stay down!
Which way?
I have no idea. We can't see them.
Private Kim!
Fall back... Now!
Keep holding them back,
and report back at sunset.
Yes.
- To your posts. - Yes.
Forgive me.
We will regroup with reinforcements, and push through once again.
There will be no reinforcements.
The regiment itself was isolated.
9th Company is gathering down the valley.
Head there and regroup.
Yes.
Here... Move.
They ambushed us, Sir.
It'll be hard to break through while they protect that position.
Forget about engaging them and just pull back.
Hold positions until 3rd Company's arrival.
Yes, Sir.
Sergeant.
Yes, Sir.
How was that?
Worthy of a platoon leader?
Yes. You showed great courage, Sir.
- Sergeant Lee. - Yes.
When the reinforcements arrive, load the dead aboard the trucks,
and after rotating with 3rd Company, report back to base in the morning.
Yes, Sir.
- Also, 2nd Platoon. - Yes, Sir!
Sergeant Lee will be in charge from here on in.
Follow him at all times.
Here... I leave the boys to you.
Let's go.
Those wretched fools...
Couldn't they send at least another truck?
The hell is this?
Is this how you send your brothers off...
Attention!
Salute!
Starting now, you'll be leading each of the four squads.
The platoon's first sergeant will be Sergeant Kim.
What?!
You joined the army before Sergeant Baek,
so you do it.
They're all just recruits.
I can only count on you.
Yes.
Now...
We're the only ones left.
Let's give it our all.
If only for our fallen brothers.
Yes, Sir.
Good... To your posts.
Attention.
Loyalty.
I'm sorry.
The platoon still hasn't reported back to base.
Then, he must be alive, right?
He's still out there fighting, isn't he?
You just have faith in that.
What's that supposed to mean?
Are you suggesting...
he might be dead?
We can't say anything with certainty.
Only after a battle is over do we receive the list of casualties.
So just go back home.
- Requires Toileting Assistance -
Stop it.
It's too late for that.
If you can't slit your wrists right away, you'll only fail.
If you really think you'd be able to, try it one last time.
But should you fail again, just resign yourself and accept it.
And then start fighting again.
Accepting toileting assistance...
will be the first battle.
Get out of my sight.
Get the hell out!
Never forget, comrade. You're a soldier.
You can't let any obstacle defeat you.
Your orderlies will be waiting in their ward.
Unless they hear you scream, they won't be able to come and help you.
Orderly...
Orderly!!
Three companies are still fighting,
while the remaining six were defeated and are currently withdrawing.
We can't go on any longer, General.
I did try to reason with him more than once.
But the commander just refuses to listen.
I'll be counting on you, then.
Yes, Sir.
Help me out, quick.
Reporting back.
What did I just see?
I apologize.
I just couldn't bear to leave her there to die.
The moment snipers are injured, consider them dead.
Incurring danger just to save them would only benefit your enemy.
I just did as they always taught me.
As my drill instructor taught me.
Didn't you always tell me?
That anyone abandoning their comrades has no right to be a People's Army soldier.
That Lee Sugyeong is long dead.
If I see you do that again, this time I'll pull that trigger.
Better bear it in mind.
I will die under your watch, whatever it takes.
Just for the sake of finding out...
whether you can really abandon me to die without blinking once.
Wretched traitor...
You haven't shed a tear for all our fallen comrades,
but now one of their boys gets killed, and you're wailing like a wench?
Don't shoot... It wasn't that...
I just wanted them to stop fighting.
I just told them to stop.
Go, then.
If you don't want to fight, just die!
Don't shoot...
Don't.
Shut it!
Enough.
Don't try to stop me.
Haven't you seen for yourself, comrade?
That's an order.
Put that down.
You'd never shoot me.
You could never shoot someone fighting bravely every single day...
to protect a lying coward like him!
So long, you traitor!
Co...Comrade...
Comrade.
What happened here?
It was an accident.
- Carry him. - Yes, Sir.
Comrade Seongil.
It's time to go now.
You don't belong on the battlefield, comrade.
You weren't cut out for war.
Go... Do it, hide anywhere you can.
And don't let them find you until this war is over.
I mean it.
At first I just thought you were a coward, but that wasn't the case.
Actually, you were staking your life on this fight of yours.
No matter what people did to you because of it, you marched on.
You promised yourself you wouldn't kill or be killed,
that was your sole motivation.
The Japanese forced me into the army.
And after I surrendered to Chinese forces in Manchuria,
I had to join the Eighth Route Army.
Right after liberation, I joined the People's Army.
For the last eight years,
that damned rifle hasn't left these hands a single day.
My nights are filled with all the people I killed, trying to strangle me.
And there is no stopping those nightmares.
Comrade...
Still...
I kept on fighting.
Because I didn't have the courage to reject all this madness,
unlike you.
Go now.
And wherever you go, survive.
For some reason,
I just want you to make it out of here alive.
I mean it.
Go.
Goodbye.
Comrade Sugyeong...
I'll say he deserted.
Are you all right?
Meaning what?
I just...
You look really tired.
I should say the same about you.
All I want is for this to end.
Comrade!
Comrade...
To be honest, death might be a much more convenient way out.
I really don't know what to say.
Wondering how you'll survive in your condition, it just breaks my heart.
Stop it and just go.
Still, you'll find something to cling onto.
Didn't the commie bastard you hated so much save your life on three occasions?
If you managed to defy all those odds,
there must be something waiting for you out there.
From now on, this will be your legs.
Just push with your arms, and it'll take you anywhere.
But getting on it alone will be a great struggle.
Start by grabbing that rope.
Only if your back muscles get strong enough...
will you be able to at least use your upper body.
Give it a try.
I'm asking you.
I apologize.
I was just trying to wipe your sweat...
Ohh...
Is there anything you need?
Right... Congratulations.
Army command called in the evening.
You've been promoted to staff sergeant.
Then... I'll let you rest.
Wait.
Yes.
Never mind.
I'll call the orderly.
Again... Clean it from scratch.
Wake up!
Sergeant!
Stop it... Stop!
We'll shoot!
Stop!
I will surrender.
Comrade, how about you?
I'd rather die in battle, Sir.
I'm sorry.
Freeze!
Let him go.
Name and rank.
People's Army 1st Division, Colonel-General Yoo Naksu.
Colonel-General?!
Yes, the second in command after their division commander.
Then, contact them right away.
The enemy could attempt a rescue mission.
He must be transferred to the rear line immediately.
- Do it! - Yes, Sir.
- Contact them. - Yes, Sir.
Let's hurry and finish this!
They could be here any minute!
Sergeant Baek.
2nd Squad will escort the general.
All right.
2nd Squad, gather!
Sergeant Kim, you must protect this bridge.
3rd Company will soon be here.
Whatever it takes, hang in there until they arrive.
- Got it? - Loud and clear, Sir.
You can leave it all to me and rest assured, uh?
All right, I trust you.
Let's get going.
- Sir. - Let's go.
Are we the only ones going?
That's right.
What is our mission?
Comrade.
To execute one of our men.
Who... are you referring to?
The colonel-general.
He surrendered to the enemy.
Not only our division's, but top army secrets will be leaked to the enemy.
We must stop him.
Ever experienced such missions before?
What I mean is,
have you ever killed one of your own?
Let's go.
Loyalty!
- Anything to report? - Sir. No, Sir.
A top-ranking enemy officer has surrendered.
Arrest anyone around conscription age.
All they could be are deserters or enemies in disguise.
- Is that clear? - Sir. Yes, Sir.
Loyalty!
Let's go.
Hey... Over there!
Stop there!
Catch him!
- Protecting freedom and justice! Hurrah for the UN Troops! -
Sir, over there.
We're going at him from the front.
Remove any obstacle in the way.
Leave our target to me.
How about the rest?
Kill anyone in the way.
Move and we'll shoot!
Hands up and turn around.
Do it!
Let me go.
I beg you.
Hands up!
Please...
I'm begging you.
Hands up!
Let go...
Let me go!
Let go!
Let go! Let go...
Where are we headed?
Army command, Sir.
Those MPs will take over and escort you there.
Cover fire!
Snipers!
Stay down!
Don't move! Stop!
Cover fire!
Sergeant Baek...
Sergeant Baek.
Sergeant Baek!
Sergeant Baek.
Sergeant Baek! Sergeant Baek.
Sergeant Baek!
Se...rgeant...
It's... that woman.
Sergeant Baek!
Lee Sugyeong...
Stop there!
Hands up!
Turn around!
Lee Sugyeong...
Lee Sugyeong!!
