~ Episode 7 ~
You really plan to leave alone?
Yes, Sir. I'll get going.
Where are you going, all by yourself?
Don't make the rest of us look like a bunch of ninnies.
Sergeant Park.
- Beomwoo... - I'm coming.
I'm a soldier just like everyone else, so don't try to stop me.
Don't you have a wife to worry about, Private Yeom?
It's not like we wouldn't risk getting shot here, anyway.
I'm coming.
- Sangil, you? - I...
I'll have to come, otherwise nobody is going to read him those letters.
"What?"
Don't even bother asking.
Didn't the general give us an order?
Please follow our wishes, Sir.
Out of the way.
What's with the wait?
You better come in before I change my mind.
You said you wouldn't come.
Didn't they say all we need to do is show them the way?
We can just get the hell out of there the moment we see the supply base.
The marines are taking over after that.
So let's just go.
Are you confident you won't regret this?
Yes, Sir!
Good, let's do this, then.
Loyalty.
Let's go.
Once the army escort squad arrives, we will depart immediately.
We only have eight hours to reach the Gaema Plateau and...
establish contact with the local guerrilla units waiting for us.
You must reach the target at all cost. Any questions?
- Where are our explosives? - I kept them separate for the three of us.
I hope we will not be forced to use them.
~ Imgye ~
Sergeant... Just a moment.
I think something's suddenly gone wrong with my stomach.
I'm sorry.
Stop! Stop!
I'm sorry, Sir.
Sir... I better follow him.
Been feeling all strange down there for a while...
Watch your back. NKPA forces are surveilling the area.
Yes, Sir.
My... I see there were people even more nervous than me...
Just a leak and it'd do for me.
What time is it?
1500 hours.
We must reach our target within two hours, to avoid any trouble.
We might struggle to make it.
Sangil. Can you spare any paper?
Ajeosshi, this won't do it.
- I'll be right back. - Uh? Where are you going?
I'll go see my mother.
She lives past those hills all by herself.
But... Anyway, I'll just go check on her a moment.
Will be right back.
Hey... Sangil... Sangil!
What's that supposed to mean?
He just ran down the hill, saying he'll go meet his mother.
- Sergeant Park, Sergeant Baek. - Yes.
- Which way did he go? Show us. - Yes, Sir.
I guess it's because his mother found refuge there,
and with no letters as of late, he was dead worried all the time.
Never imagined he'd go this far...
No traces, Sir.
We must return to the truck.
If we don't leave immediately,
we'll never reach the port on time.
We can't leave him behind, either.
He deserted his post, and planned it from the start.
He hasn't deserted yet, but we must find him to make sure it doesn't happen.
There's no time. Let's hurry.
Stop it, Sir!
Keep this up, and you'll get us all killed.
This is not just a platoon mission like the others.
We are under direct instructions from Army Command.
Failure to hit the target destination on time...
will get us all executed for insubordination.
Let's head back. I will not die in vain.
If we leave this way, it'll only mean execution for Sangil.
If you want to survive, be my guest. I'll go die with him.
Let's go.
Sergeant!
Sergeant, here are his letters.
Okgye-Myeon, Sangye-Ri...
Magpie Two... Magpie Two.
It's called Geonji Valley, in Sangye-Ri.
Wrap it up quickly, uh? There's no time.
Must be around here?!
So how old are you?
Fifteen, Ma'am.
Aigoo...
As for the potatoes, we will pay you back...
once our liberation campaign is complete.
Forget it.
Don't even mention that,
and worry about making it out of here alive and getting married.
Married?!
Anyone home?
Who is there?
Ahh... Yes, I'm just an army soldier passing by.
Let me ask you something.
Aigoo... Yes. Just a moment.
So what is it?
Yes... Do you live alone?
Yes... But what did you want to know again?
Which way is Geonji Valley in Sangye-Ri?
I don't really know my way around here...
Aigoo... If it's Geonji Valley, it's on the opposite side.
- Take the gorge all the way up, and... - Yes.
Thank you.
What was that sound?
Aigoo... It was nothing.
By any chance...
Freeze!
Don't shoot!
Go back inside.
If we spare him, he'll go get the rest of his squad.
Don't shoot, uh?
I came alone.
I mean it!
Don't lie to us!
It's the truth!
Don't shoot... Don't kill me, uh?
I must go meet my mother.
You what?!
My mother is living alone past those hills.
But we've lost contact, so...
I'm not lying!
Don't do it. Don't shoot, uh?
I have to go check on my mother and see if she's still alive!
Until I see how she's doing, I'm not going to die!
Shut that dirty mouth of yours!
Boys... Just let him go and leave.
You must understand how missing one's mother can feel.
I beg you...
You southern puppet!
They've gone MIA?
After passing the 7th division checkpoint two hours ago,
we have lost contact.
Is there any other way to reestablish communication?
Not while on the road, Sir.
They can only communicate with us at division checkpoints.
I ought to...
How is the mission proceeding?
They delayed departure by two hours,
but failure by our forces to report on time will mean the marines will proceed solo.
Then, what about our troops?
Insubordination while on a mission is punished...
with execution, Sir.
With what?!
Aren't army forces coming?
Let's wait a little longer.
If we want to reach the coast before the shift change is complete, we must go.
Any further delay will put us in danger.
Mom.
Mom... Mom...
Mom?!
Mom!
Mom...
Mom.
Mom...
Mom... Mom.
Mom! Mom!!
Mom... Mom!!
Mom! Mom!!
Mom...
Mom!! Mom!!
Mom!
Mom.
Mom, wa...
Wake up.
Wake up!
Why are you sleeping here?
Wake up!!
Mom!
Mom...
Mom?
Mom...
Mom!
What happened to you?
Why... Why did you do this?
Mom...
Find those puppets immediately!
Don't leave a stone unturned!
Quick, get moving!
You bastard!
You southern puppet!
Yang Sangil!
You little son of a...
Mom...
There is nothing to eat inside.
I think she might have...
Can you be so foolish?
Can you? Uh?
Can you?! What the hell is that?
Who did you save that food for?
Why...
We must leave, Sir.
After hearing gunshots, they'll swarm the place in no time.
Sangil, we must leave this place.
Sangil...
Forget it.
I...
will stay by my mother's side.
Go ahead and shoot me.
I deserted my post, so just do it.
I...
am never going to leave her side again.
Sangil.
Sangil...
Enemy approaching.
Yang Sangil! It's too dangerous there! Come out!
It's all right! I'm here with you, Mom!
Yang Sangil! Get out of there!
- Mom, it's all right! - Sangil!
Sangil!
They're surrounding us! We must leave!
Fall back!
Start the truck! Quick!
Start it!
Take Sangil. Here.
Let's go.
Move!
Mom... Mom!
Mom...
- Sangil. - Mom!
- Sangil... Sangil! - Mom!!
- Mom! - Stop it, Sangil!
Mom...
Mom... Mom!!
- Proceed. - Yes, Sir.
Should anything go wrong ashore,
head northwest with your compass.
Any map would be useless on the Gaema Plateau.
Let's go.
Will we make it back alive?
Don't worry. We'll make it.
Let's do this.
For Mom and Hyeonsu's sake.
Yes.
Yes, Sir.
They infiltrated our coast?
We just received word from our RTOs monitoring enemy communications,
warning of suspicious messages regarding a possible coastal infiltration.
How about time and location?
We couldn't pinpoint any location,
but it appears to be set for early this morning.
Connect me to the Coast Guard.
Lieutenant Lee Sugyeong from Special Ops speaking.
Immediately reinforce security around the area,
and leave no observation spot unattended. Now.
Move!
Eonni!
Danyoung!
Get out of there!
Don't lose them!
Are you all right?
Go alone, or they will kill us both.
Get up!
Leave!
If you get killed, our family is done!
Go and complete our mission.
Your sister...
will be watching you from a better place.
Do it!
Danyoung...
There's nobody here.
Yang Sangil! You prick...
Sergeant Park!
Sergeant!
There...
What is the matter, Sir?
Direct orders from Command.
To execute your entire squad for insubordination!
Arrest them!
Drop your weapons.
Do it!
Aren't we here as planned?
Why would it be insubordination?
Aren't we here?
We were delayed by skirmishes with the NKPA.
It's the truth!
Please, spare us.
I'm their squad leader.
I will take full responsibility.
No.
I deserted my post.
They were late because of me.
Shoot me alone.
Here... Go ahead.
Everyone, drop your weapons.
Die like a soldier should.
Don't bring harm to your fellow brothers in arms.
Do it!
Sergeant!
What now?
Sergeant...
They will soon be executed.
Any way we can stop this?
The NKPA Coast Guard was put on high alert during the delay.
That is what appears to have completely neutralized the marine assault,
so nothing will excuse them from facing responsibility.
Ohh Ohh... Really...
Commander on the line, Sir.
Loyalty.
Park Woong speaking, Sir.
How the hell did you train those men?
Don't you know how crucial this mission is?
My apologies, Commander.
We ask for your understanding.
They faced enemy forces on their way.
Understanding? Is that all you can ask for in this situation?
Your delay allowed the enemy to annihilate the entire marine squad!
Do you know what kind of embarrassment this is for the entire army?
Commander...
You disappoint me, General Park.
I never expected something like this from your men.
G...General...
Forgive me, Sergeant...
Don't say that.
I would have done the exact same thing.
I'm sorry, Sergeant...
The marines you were supposed to escort...
were all slaughtered the very moment they landed.
Just think of this as joining them in death.
Squad, on your feet.
Beomwoo.
We will not blindfold you.
For the sake of your brothers in arms executing their orders,
close your eyes on your own.
On your marks!
1st squad.
Yes, Sir!
See you on the other side.
Aim.
Hold fire...
Hold fire!
What are you saying?
Orders from Command, Sir.
The execution was revoked.
We have orders to stop immediately.
Thank you, Commander.
Loyalty!
It's a relief.
We can't chant victory yet.
What?
Then...
Yes.
I understand, Sir.
Loyalty.
What did they tell you?
Do we return back to base?
Will we be imprisoned?
Listen well.
We will proceed with the mission in the marines' place.
What?
Say what...
I mean... How can we blow up that base all by ourselves?
Even the marines were slaughtered on the spot.
So, what, are we just charging in without any plan?
Stop it. We have no other choice now.
If we don't complete our mission, we will be executed.
They gave us a chance to die while fighting our enemy.
Until our mission is fulfilled, consider yourselves dead.
Only blowing up that base will grant us survival.
Can you do it?
I was about to be shot just a moment ago,
so what could I possibly lose?
Aren't we dead men anyway? There is nothing to fear.
Good. Let's go for it.
Six were shot, and another was killed by an explosion.
What do you believe was their objective?
I still can't say with certainty,
but they likely were trying to neutralize facilities impossible to target via air.
Also, this belongs to the infiltrator who died in the explosion.
No other traces left.
There was a self-blasting device inside that bag.
It might have been their last resort in case of failure.
One of them must have escaped alive, by the looks of things.
Contact our special ops base,
and tell them to deploy all units and patrol the entire mountain.
Yes, all right.
Put that down. We're from the guerrilla unit.
Mount Baekdu.
Mount Baekdu?!
What was ours again?
Horned owl.
Where is the rest of your squad?
They killed everyone including the army escort squad?
No, the army squad...
never came.
We should get that bullet out, but we wouldn't know how.
It's all right, I can manage.
You sure are tough.
But what is a woman like you doing in the army?
Why, is it something you can't talk about?
No. After going to school, we noticed the marines were recruiting,
so my sister and I joined.
Sister? Then, you came with her?
Should have continued your studies...
Why volunteer and get into so much trouble?
Do you bear some kind of grudge against the People's Army?
What are all those?
Ahh... Just maps of the supply base.
We prepared everything in advance, knowing you'd be coming.
But what would be the use now? After what happened.
Rest.
When my father-in-law comes back, we'll decide what to do.
Yes.
I was sad to hear what happened to your sister.
Be strong.
It's filled with explosives and 200 rounds of ammo per person.
Anyone knows how to set up explosives?
I am a little familiar with that.
Anyone else?
No one.
Fine.
These are armed with self-blasting explosives.
Once you pull this, you have one minute before the explosion.
Should everything else fail,
two of you will run into the target wearing these.
Who will wear them?
I will.
The second one?
Good.
You must complete this mission within the next four days.
After that, the enemy will begin transporting those supplies away.
Whatever it takes, you must blow up that base before it happens.
You will find a boat at the RV point waiting for you at 0400 hours of the fifth day.
Should you fail, don't even think about boarding it.
Get prepared. You will depart at sunset.
And we were only supposed to escort some marines...
Look what mess we've found ourselves in.
Ironic, isn't it? It really is.
Leave Sangil here.
What's that supposed to mean?
He will only bring us danger.
Take a look.
He's in no condition to do this.
Just leave him here.
If such were the case, he would have refused to comply.
Don't you realize what that means?
We still can't bring him in that state.
You never know what might happen this time.
Just one blunder from one of us, and it will spell the end for all.
He'll do fine, he's more than capable of that.
Judge the situation objectively, Sir. Start acting like a squad leader!
Put too much trust in him, and he might get us all killed.
If the situation asks you to sacrifice one man to save ten, you must do it.
That's the kind of decision a leader needs to make!
Must I really point that out to you?
Your decision to look for him almost got everyone else executed.
Just leave him behind.
That will at least make sure one of us survives.
He's joining us.
People are not just numbers to me.
Be it one or ten, you are all subordinates to me.
Be it one or ten, living and dying together is what...
being a brother in arms means to me.
I pray you won't have to regret this.
Because the very moment you do,
only hell awaits us all.
Sangil.
Don't you worry.
I'll make it back alive.
And when I do,
I'll give my mother a decent burial.
*The rose of Sharon was the symbol of post-colonial Korean independence
~ The rose of Sharon is in bloom* again. Until the day we'll see flowers together. ~
You fool...
What's the use of standing guard when you doze off like this?
Where do you think you're going?
The People's Army is all over these mountains.
There's an injured woman out there by herself,
am I supposed to just sit here and do nothing?
That temper of yours...
Go after her.
All right.
Who else are they sending this time?
The area has been put on high alert.
We will be exposed the very moment we land.
Then, what do we do?
We will be the first to attack.
We will open fire the moment we land,
and go all out until we reach the forest.
Is that clear?
Yes, Sir.
An enemy task force is approaching.
Check every corner.
Is that clear?
Yes!
Move.

~ On The Next Episode Of ~ C O M R A D E S
Was it so important to leave seven people out there to die?
Speak to me!
Their target is our supply base.
They had radio and we even found some communications.
Move to the supply base immediately.
I'm sorry for what happened to your squad,
but we're staking our lives on this mission as well.
You'll have to accept that as our apology.
