[The Fatal Mission]
- Episode 10 -
[Su Estate]
Division Commander, your daughter is back.
- Where is she? - She is in the yard.
- Dad. - Zuo Yan.
You are back.
Dad.
Why are you looking at me like that?
To see you have safely returned,
relieves all my worries.
I was only working in the hospital for a few days.
What danger could I be in?
This is a dangerous time. Whenever you are not with me,
I can't help but worry about you.
Then I should apply to be your aide.
I would love that,
but that is impossible.
Silly child, go to sleep.
Dad.
What is it?
I'm sorry
for worrying you these last couple of days.
I will not be so careless from now on.
As long as you understand me.
I'm going off to rest now.
What did you find?
Where did she go in the last couple of days?
She didn't go to the hospital.
Where she went and what she did,
I wasn't able to find out about it. My apologies for my incompetence.
I will send others to look into it.
Forget about it.
The most important thing is that she is back.
Okay, understood.
You go and rest.
Miss, what brings you here?
I brought some food I made myself for my dad.
How considerate of you.
Commander is in the office.
Okay.
Dad.
Zuo Yan.
I brought you something to eat.
There are many varieties.
How does it taste?
Delicious.
My daughter's cooking is so tasty.
If you like it, I can make it for you every day.
That sounds great.
But you cannot. This is my workplace.
Here, try the lotus seed soup I made for you.
Dad, I'm so sorry!
It's okay.
I have several sets.
I will change. Have a seat.
Okay.
It smells good.
[Transfer Order for Zhao Ban Kuo]
[Zhao Ban Kuo is to be transferred to the elite squad under the command of Liao Yi Fang. Army Division 36.]
Why are you just standing here? Why don't you sit down?
Dad, I thought you were changing.
Why haven't you changed yet?
I was too busy working and forgot that
I sent that uniform to be washed.
I think I'm here with an ulterior motive.
If you have done nothing wrong,
you would not be worried about my presence.
Is that the attitude a daughter should have toward her own father?
But is this what a father should do to his own daughter?
I didn't realize that you still can't forget that guy.
You clearly know where he is.
Why did you lie to me?
I didn't.
But you signed the transfer order.
I did sign the transfer order,
but I don't know where he went,
or what his mission was.
Even my superior had no idea.
But what I assumed was that this was a very important mission.
If the list had my name,
I would leave immediately as well, with no second thoughts.
Do you think I can still trust your words?
It's up to you.
You should forget about him as soon as you can.
This is exactly how I figured it out.
You made the entire arrangement
to separate me from Ban Kuo!
Don't you think you've really crossed the line?!
What did you just say?
Not only did you cross the line,
you also used my trust and reliance on you in doing so.
What you did...
- It is disgraceful! - You... !
Get out!
What are you doing?
I'm telling you now. I will never forget him.
No matter his whereabouts, I will find him.
Zuo Yan, all grown up now. Huh?
You can survive on your own?
You think you can just threaten me with your life
and I'd tell you?!
Where is Zhao Ban Kuo?!
My daughter should be someone who is patriotic and sensible about logic,
not a selfish person who only knows to indulge herself in fun and games.
I'd rather not have a daughter like that!
Then you can shoot me dead!
No matter where you sent Zhao Ban Kuo,
I will find him!
I will be together with him forever.
- Say that again! - I want to be with him forever!
Commander! Commander!
Commander.
Take her away.
Lock her in her room.
Without my order,
no one is allowed to let her out!
Understood.
Miss, this way, please.
Anyone?
Let me out! Let me out!
Miss, Commander has given the order to not let you out.
Please stay in there for a few days.
Once he is no longer angry, he might consider releasing you.
You two should get something to eat first. I'll stand guard for you.
Understood.
Somebody, help!
Miss, are you alright?
It hurts so bad! Somebody, help me!
Miss? Miss?

Old Xiao.
Director.
- Is Zuo Yan here? - Yes, Miss Su is waiting for you in the room.
Okay.
Teacher.
You look disheartened.
You had another fight with your father, right?
I found a transfer order at my father's office.
It has Zhao Ban Kuo's name,
and the order has my father's signature.
What does the order say?
It states, "Follow all orders from the superior."
My father clearly knows where Zhao Ban Kuo went. Why did he have to lie to me?
I think he planned out everything.
He wanted to separate me and Ban Kuo.
He has no right to do that.
Zuo Yan, you may be wrong about your father this time.
Why do you think so?
I just heard from Political Commissar Su that
the Far East Command dispatched an elite squad
about a month ago to enter Kachin Hills.
Zhao Ban Kuo should be in the elite squad.
The time frames match up.
The Captain was chosen straight from the Far East Command.
They also selected the members directly.
So your father was only involved with signing the transfer order.
Kachin Hills?
Do you have any other pieces of evidence?
Right now, that's all I know.
Don't worry. I'll continue to ask for you.
[Tengchong]
[Dandelion]
Hold on.
What is it, Knife?
Something is wrong here.
What happened?
Listen carefully.
Do you hear any noises around here?
Damn you, Knife. Have you lost your mind?
There isn't even a peep. Did a bug get into your ears?
It's too quiet. There isn't a sound. Very odd.
As if it's better having Japs chase us down with blaring guns. That would be fun.
Rookie is right.
"Nervousness is your friend. Quietness is your enemy."
When did I piss you off?
Four Eyes, who is Quietness?
Big Bull, it is a battle principle of American training for jungle warfare.
Save your rubbish.
Haven't you noticed that there isn't anything alive in these woods?
That shouldn't be strange.
The 5th Army was trapped here for a couple of months.
They couldn't escape even after consuming all their food supplies.
They probably received all their food sources here.
Even then, many of them still died.
In these woods,
it's impossible that there isn't even a bird.
When did you notice it?
I just did.
There are two possibilities.
First possibility:
This kind of rain forest regularly produces some sort of toxic miasma.
It could have been caused by the miasma.
The second possibility:
There is a vicious predator around here.
It scared away all other animals.
What vicious predator?
We have guns and knives.
If it comes, we will kill it and make a meal out of it.
Everything in the jungle is sacred.
You guys know nothing.
Who are you trying to scare with your superstitions?
Enough. It's getting dark soon.
Put on your masks. We'll try to get out of this jungle as soon as we can.
Understood.
We are finally out of there.
Four Eyes.
My goodness, what is going on?
We really shouldn't have negative thoughts,
because they come true when you do.
You are a true scholar. You are weak as hell.
What's the matter with you?
Are you all made out of paper (weaklings)?!
What's wrong with them?
You are not that old,
yet your body isn't that good. Hold on.
Could they have contracted
something unsanitary from the mass grave?
Let me see your tongue.
Medic, what's wrong with them?
Nothing. They probably have a heat stroke.
I'll give them some medicine.
Bullshit. Just look at them with your own eyes.
They are as pale as paper.
We touched those bodies earlier.
If we do contract a deadly plague from them, I'll kill you!
Shut your babbling mouth!
Nagging about nothing.
A plague doesn't show symptoms this quickly.
You are so annoying...
What is an unlucky student like you
doing in the military? You should've stayed home to let your wife look after your ill health.
Don't come here and slow us down.
Watch what you say.
I joined the military to fight the Japs.
I don't need to listen to your opinion.
Long Hair, let it go.
Enough. We will take a break here.
Okay.
Let's get some rest.
Why do I feel a little dizzy, too?
Medic, come here.
Let me sniff the medicine as well.
I'm not your servant. Do it yourself.
I'm thinking
this place is just too weird.
It's fine. I'm better now.
Look.
I told you they had a heat stroke.
And you question my medical skill.
Captain, based on the state we are in,
I feel that we should set up camp here for the night.
It's fine. We will keep going.
- Captain! - Captain!
Hey!
Why is everybody down?
Me, too?
Where is the Chinese squad?
Currently, they are passing through the Valley of Death.
Good. After tomorrow,
we can wipe out the squad that has been troubling us.
Oh, right! Tell Kamio Masao to dispatch his troops to the death zone.
This time, I would really like for things to progress smoothly.
Tell that idiot.
All his troops must wear protective gear when they enter the death zone.
I don't care what happens to him, but we can't sacrifice any more men.
Yes, sir.
Timing and Subtitles by ♞ Team Candle Knights ♘ @ Viki
What were you talking about with Nakagawa?
It's Major's order for our troops to deploy to the Valley of Death.
Why is that?
The enemy squad appeared in the area of death.
That's perfect.
Gather 20 soldiers immediately.
We'll deploy to the Valley of Death wearing protective gear.
Deploy another squad of soldiers,
and have them wait outside of the jungle. We'll ambush the enemy from both sides when they come out of the jungle.
Captain, the enemy will probably be unable to make it out of the jungle alive.
So why... ?
I won't let those scum die so easily.
Yes, sir!
Knife. Knife!
Wake up.
Captain.
Wake up, Captain.
Medic, wake up.
What happened?
I don't know.
What is this damn place? It's too weird.
Old Fool, didn't you say it was a heat stroke?
Why do we all have it?
Long Hair, save it.
Give us each a cigarette from your secret stash.
The tobacco leaves have the impact of a stimulant.
Hurry up.
Maybe we contracted a disease.
What kind?
Maybe some kind of acute infectious disease
from that mass grave.
Even if it's an acute infectious disease, it shouldn't have spread this quickly.
Didn't you mention that there is a miasma here?
Maybe we are poisoned by the miasma.
That's nonsense.
We all wore the gas masks. How did we get poisoned by the miasma?
Captain, I don't think we contracted a disease.
I can't think of any other reason,
but... it is very possible that we've been poisoned.
Only poison can make all of us
in such a short time
have these kinds of symptoms.
Old Fool, tell us how we were poisoned.
Things that can poison us
are not just airborne. Anything we come into contact with
can poison us.
The American equipment
is the best in the entire army.
The gas mask is the newest of its kind.
On the path we took,
I don't remember being bitten by anything.
What do you think just happened?
How would I know?
Look.
Could it be this?
I have it, too.
Me, too.
Even me.
Me, too.
It must be this.
When did we get poisoned?
Do you have scratches on you?
Me, too.
Same here.
Are the plants in these woods poisonous?
There are different plants in the woods that we ran through.
I now know why the natives made this a restricted area.
Seriously, these natives
couldn't just write the outcome on a stone.
At least we could've watched out for it.
Do you still remember that I told you
not to enter these woods?
Do you still remember
the symbols carved on the tree bark?
And the statue with the devil in its guts?
This is karma.
It's our karma for not respecting the gods!
Knife.
Enough! Stop talking about it.
Is it any use to talk about it now?
Don't you understand?
Other than our guns, we are no better than the natives.
If those natives couldn't survive it,
then we will definitely die here.
Medic, what kind of poison is it?
Captain, I'm not sure about the kind of poison
or the essence of it. To treat it,
we need its corresponding serum.
I can't make the serum in a place like this.
Did you notice
that the bodies in the mass grave
had no indication of rotting after all this time?
And they didn't have any obvious wounds.
It's a clear sign of poisoning.
The 5th Army then had more medical supplies than we do
that even they didn't survive.
The little stock we have is not going to help us.
Old Fool, what you mean is that we are as good as dead.
Not exactly. In nature, there is always some kind of check and balance between plants and animals.
Rabbits eat grass. Tigers eat rabbits.
You would think that tigers don't have any natural nemeses.
Wrong. Tigers have a weakness, too.
Their weakness is that there are too few of them.
If there are more, there won't be any little animals left.
What do you mean?
The plants in the woods we just went through,
if no other plants could grow but them,
it would have grown all over Kachin Hills.
However, I noticed that other than the poisonous trees,
there are other plants.
So that means that there are plants
not affected by the poison. They may even stop the spread of the poisonous trees.
Then that plant must be the cure.
Right. The idiom says, "Within ten steps, there is a cure."
That's right.
If there is a cure, then let's look for it.
Medic, you go look for it.
Long Hair, go with him.
Understood.
Timing and Subtitles by ♞ Team Candle Knights ♘ @ Viki
Look at it here.
This is the darn thing that makes us suffer so much.
Long Hair,
look at the tree bark.
Do you see what is growing there?
Moss.
There is definitely poison on the tree bark,
but it can grow on it.
This means that either it can neutralize the poison
or it's even more poisonous than the tree bark.
How can you be so sure?
Now, we can only experiment.
If it can neutralize the poison, then we'll all be saved.
What if it's more poisonous?
Then we'll die faster.
Can't you say something positive?
Let's look over there.
Let's see if we can find something else.
Captain,
I found these three things on the trunk of the poisonous tree and around it.
It is very possible that the cure is among them.
Very possible?
Because there is a risk, is it possible that we will heal without eating them?
For Pete's sake.
Captain, you are greedier than the Grim Rippers.
I can't say that if this poison will eventually kill us;
but as a well-respected, highly-skilled doctor,
I can tell you affirmatively that we will get worse if we wait.
You decide.
I decide?
You are the Medic. You decide.
Then let's go ahead.
But before we start,
I would like to explain a few things.
Right now, we have three possible cures.
The consequence of trying them
is unknown. But the three people who try them
may still end up dead.
Then let's decide who will take them.
Here. Pick a straw.
Captain, you can't participate.
Why not?
- If something happens to you, who will lead us? - You guys can.
I am the Captain, but I'm also a member of the squad.
Either we live together or die together.
Knife, you first.
Here.
I'll go first.
Even if I get the poisonous one, that will be my deed for everyone.
Four Eyes.
Hold on!
If, as the Medic said, there is a possibility that none of them are the real cure,
then we may all die here.
In that case, I have to tell you something.
- Knife, what are you saying? - You keep quiet!
Let me finish.
Knife, what do you want to tell me?
Zhao Ban Kuo,
you have a bullet in your bag. That bullet saved your life.
Knife, so you saved me?
Knife, hold your tongue.
Captain, we don't have much time. I have to tell him.
- Knife. - Zhao Ban Kuo, did you lose your brain?
It was the Captain who saved you, not me!
I didn't expect that guy to still have a sense of honor.
Why do you wait until now to tell me?
