[The Fatal Mission]
- Episode 4 -
- What are you doing here? - Director Bian.
If you two feel some discomfort somewhere and need to see a doctor, please go to the front yard to register.
This is my backyard, where I live.
I don't accept visitors here.
That's right. I will escort you over there.
We saw a Communist entering your hospital.
How could that be possible? There aren't any Communists here.
I saw it with my own eyes.
After I followed her up to here, she disappeared.
That means that you found someone suspicious and are seeking this person here.
That's right. That's it.
If I am correct, both of you have had some alcohol.
Idiot. You—
I don't know, but when Ichiro Kamio learns about this, he will punish you both.
Oh, right. I forgot to tell you both. He will be here shortly for a health check-up..
Right, he should be arriving soon.
It's all right. If you want to continue your search, please take your time.
When he gets here, I will surely discuss with him
your professional and responsible behavior.
Come on then. Continue your search.
Since you're a person Colonel Kamio trusts, we don't need to continue the search.
- Old Xiao, see our guests out. - Okay.
Please, gentlemen,
this way.
Teacher, is there any improvement in my technique?
It has improved. How can you still smile?
Even if the sky falls, Teacher will be here to hold it up.
Let's go.
This place is nice.
- Hello, Director Bian. - Hello.
The patient's history is in here. Okay?
- Hello, Director Bian. - Hello.
- Coffee, right? - Yes.
Teacher, may I listen to whatever music you've been listening to lately?
Beethoven? Teacher, can't you switch it up once in a while?
If you like it, why switch?
Music must be listened to, as well as understood.
Beethoven's music shows us
a fighting spirit that doesn't succumb to an ill fate. For all the pain,
sadness, struggles, and loneliness he suffered, he transformed them all into musical notes
to encourage everyone else.
How noble, but I don't like it.
I'd rather encourage myself with something vibrant and majestic like Handel's music.
Your romanticism is speaking again.
Director!
Aiyoo, Miss has returned as well.
Old Xiao, long time no see.
Let me tell you something frankly. During the time you weren't here,
my whole world felt very calm and peaceful.
You still like to kid with me.
- This is... - Oh, this is—
- Hello. My name is Da Qiao. - Hello.
Didn't you help me on the street a while ago?
That's right. My teacher asked me to change my clothes and to go get you.
Who knew that I would coincidentally happen to lend you a hand.
Enough. Stop patting yourself on the back.
What did I tell you before?
The title of 'Teacher' should only be used after we close the door (only in private).
If you keep calling "Teacher, this" and "Teacher, that," everyone will know
that I received a stupid student like you.
Only the right type of teacher will get the same kind of students.
- So you have learned to talk back— - Old Xiao, your student is very good.
At least he is not a troublemaker.
He wouldn't dare.
Teacher, are you having some regrets on accepting me as your student?
In this world, there are all kinds of things,
except the word 'regret.'
Da Qiao, help watch the door outside for us. I still have some business to discuss with your teacher.
Yes. I am going.
Ah Xiao, over there.
Around Baoshan, we discovered cholera
and the epidemic is spreading very rapidly.
Many families in multiple villages only have a few people left.
Xiao An and his family all died from cholera, one after another.
With the spreading war and adding the natural epidemic, how can anyone survive this way?
In my view, it doesn't appear to be a natural epidemic.
Teacher, do you believe this is something caused by man?
Old Xiao, tell us everything you and Da Qiao saw.
Okay.
After the bombing of Baoshan, Da Qiao and I managed to squeeze in a visit there.
Originally, we wanted to discuss some matters with the guerrilla militia active in the north of Tengchong.
Teacher, how much farther is it?
What? Your teacher isn't even whining about being tired, yet you're complaining about fatigue after such a short walk?
I am not tired. Just my legs feel a little stiff.
Let me help lift your spirit!
Teacher, why did you hit me without any warning?
A warning? Would I be able to hit you with a warning?
- What kind kind of teacher— - Just go.
Go. Let's take a look.
Teacher, look. T-This bombshell looks kind of odd.
What's so odd? Isn't it just a bomb?
Eh... Teacher!
Look at that. It's surrounded by flies.
This...
You didn't see it in person. These flies
came in huge hordes like black clouds all over the place.
Guess what? At first, they were all staying still,
but after the sunlight hit them,
all of them started flying everywhere.
Are you saying that this cholera was caused by the Japs?
In any case, the Japs are bombing the place every once in a while. Originally, no one thought anything about it.
However, the situation with the epidemic became increasingly severe. Director also felt
that seemed strange. Then I suddenly remembered what I saw that day.
If the Japanese really became enraged enough to engage in germ warfare,
we have to find concrete evidence and disclose this to the world.
What do we need to do next then?
This is the reason why I was looking for you.
I already sent Xiao An to the villages in Baoshan to inquire about this.
I think he should be back in the next couple of days.
- Old Xiao. - I understand. I will continue to look after the hospital.
- Zhuo Yan. - You want me to collect information related to this epidemic.
- Let's move. - Go.
Psst.
Captain.
- How is your side? - It's clear around there.
The Japanese are resting less than two kilometers away.
I set up a decoy luring them to the north.They shouldn't be able to find out about it before dark.
We can shake them off if we depart now. Captain, let's leave.
Leave? Who says we are leaving?
We're not going to leave?
Captain, if we don't leave, we mustn't allow the Japanese to catch up to us.
Ever heard of, "Heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties"? Who knows what Luo Cheng's specialty was? (A Chinese novel)
- Sudden back stabs with his spear. - Right.
What? We are going back?
Captain, who cares about this Luo guy? We don't even know him or his spear!
The Japs are looking for us and yet we are offering ourselves up to them.
Fine, let's wrap up all our guns and give them to the Japs as welcome presents.
How can you... This... This?
He's right, Captain. Particularly since the Japanese outnumber us.
Who are you? And what kind of guns do you have?
As for people, we are one against three.
As for firing power, we are six times more powerful. Isn't that enough?
They are about 20 exhausted Japanese boys.
Are you not ashamed of being hunted by them?
The Japanese have been hunting for our Expeditionary Force everywhere.
They are known for massacres and butchering in their hunt.
They would never imagine that one (small) team would dare to fight back.
Didn't you just tell us to be cautious a moment ago?
Let's forget that we are on an urgent mission.
Don't let your thirst for revenge interfere with our mission, Captain.
As for me turning back,
the second reason is that
we can't let the Japanese know that we have been here.
So it seems that there is a third reason, too.
I'll tell you after we win this battle.
What if we don't win?
Then... the dead don't need to know.
Captain, if we are going to do this, tell us how we should fight back.
How? However you like.
Huh? "However we like?"
Captain, there are twenty-five Japanese.
Three injured. Four sentinels located in all four directions.
The rest of them are resting without any guards.
We will attack from the east and south.
Knife, take care of the southern sentinel.
Grassy Third, you take the East.
Long Hair, Cao Guo Jiu, you two are responsible for cutting off their escape route.
Understood.
Big Bull. Zhao Ban Kuo.
You will follow me in the primary assault.
- Understood. - Understood.
Grassy Third, this chicken is yours.
Got it.
Is there some left? Give it to me.
Fire.
- Be careful! Ambush. - Spread out. Take cover.
Return fire!
- Hurry. - Take cover.
- Over here. - Hurry.
Hurry.

Check their weapons.
It seems that the place you aim at
is the safest.
This...
It's awesome this time.
We finally had a proper fight with the Japs after all these days of being hunted.
And it was an extermination battle, both quick and efficient.
Time to clean up the battle site. It must be as equally quick and efficient.
Let's go. We will clean up this place properly.
Normally, they have some good things on them.
- Right. - Let's go.

Hey!
Japanese cigarettes are a hot commodity.
What?
These cigarettes are mine.
Old Cao, I clearly found them first.
It is a first-come, first-served basis.
Old Fool, why are you arguing with him?
One sniper is more important than five soldiers at a critical moment.
He might have saved you more than once.
Give him the cigarettes. He deserves them.
That makes sense.
That's fine. I will not fight with Master Guo Jiu then.
Master Guo Jiu.
Japanese cigarettes are much better than American ones.
Can you at least give me one?
That's all of it.
It appears that they were stretched to their ends.
Stretched to what? Is it valuable?
What else is there?
Big Bull, I meant that these Japs were running low on ammunition
or anything of value to them.
Other than these guns.
Why would we be interested in these when we are equipped with American guns?
Do you know why a Japanese squad
was able to defeat us several times with their size?
Hey, Captain, was it because their guns were easier to use?
At one point, I wanted to get my hands on a .38 rifle
to see what secret inside allowed them to fire so accurately.
Then when I got it,
their .38 rifle and our Zhongzheng rifle
only differed somewhat in accuracy. Otherwise, their power is about the same.
The biggest difference is...
the length of its bayonet.
Why is that, Captain?
The effectiveness in Japanese combat does not come from the weapon.
It originates from themselves.
Captain, are you referring to the soldiers' qualities?
Correct.
Actually, the biggest distinction in combat effectiveness ultimately falls on the people themselves.
And that was the third reason I insisted on coming back.
Your abilities and mutual support
alleviated some of my earlier worries.
Captain, I see it completely different from you.
Their .38 rifle is much more superior than our Zhongzheng rifle.
The type .38 rifle has a longer barrel, and the gunpowder burns with a greater efficiency, permitting a better accuracy.
And it only takes five steps to disassemble it.
That's the lowest number of all the rifles.
Though you are very familiar with all weaponry,
why is your shooting accuracy so poor?
All this talk is only good on paper.
Wang Si Mao, come with me to check the terrain.
Yes.
The rest of you, stay here to rest.
Practice time for you.
Rookie! Rookie!
I got us something good.
A real Japanese cigarette.
Try it.
I'm not interested in such Japanese things.
Oh my, a man of virtue.
Okay, then.
I won't smoke, either.
I thought of you as a young man who looked quite smart,
but why are you so stubborn?
You keep poking at the tiger's backside, especially... that female tiger's.
I just don't like her.
She is so full of herself.
That's women for you. They are mostly full of themselves.
You are only upsetting yourself.
So—
You rascal, do you have a facial spasm?
Do you need me to fix your face?
Rookie, you should stay away from Old Fool.
Be careful of getting deceived.
It's none of your business.
Let me tell you. I just don't like your actions.
Why are you sitting so close to him without a reason? Aren't you disgusted?
It seems to me
that all the nutrition went to your head of hair
and none went to your brain.
If you slander me again,
I'll prescribe some medicine doses for you to try.
It will make you--
wonder if you are a woman or a man. Do you believe me?
Old Fool, watch it if you say anything more!
Enough.
Can't you just keep it to yourselves?
We just won a battle. Stop with the talk of meds and such.
Say something positive.
If you didn't stop me, I was going to take him down.
Okay, okay.
Hey... psst.
See that?
What is it?
Before the Jap died,
he was clutching it so tight
that what's inside must be crucial.
Crucial?
We'll get something for a Meritorious Commendation.
Don't move.
Don't you have eyes?
Let go.
Do you have a death wish?
I am warning you. If you want to live,
stay far away from me. Don't drag me to Hell with you.
What do you mean?
Long Hair, do you want to take the credit for yourself and hog all the glory?
I've discovered that you are really stupid.
Take a look at what is underneath.
Whatever.
Long Hair, why didn't you tell me there was a mine?
Oh my God!
That's huge.
When this Jap got shot, he pulled out the safety pin on this mine.
Then he covered the mine with his body and the package.
If anybody tries to move the body, the mine will go off, killing everyone.
Damn, those bastards. They are so sneaky.
Thank goodness we have you, Long Hair.
If we had let him mess around on his own,
we would have turned into bits and pieces all over the place.
No. The trap was not for us.
Who else would it be for? There aren't any other Chinese around.
The Japanese, before he died, wanted to destroy this package.
Or he wouldn't have resorted to this method of killing everything in sight.
Is there any way we can open this?
We are lucky this time.
We killed off a squad of Japanese
and they gave us a big gift.
We will surely get a cash reward for turning in this gift.
You will only receive a reward if you can get it out.
I'll get the Captain.
Don't go. She is still checking the terrain.
What we want are results. Let's get it off him first.
Knife, I didn't know you had your own ideas.
Captain has the support of the Americans.
We can exchange this thing for American dollars.
Knife, give me a hand.
The rest of you, back away. This money is not for you.
Don't you guys have any fear?
- I order you, as the Major— - Hey, hey, Boss.
Your rank has no value here.
Even if the Generalissimo were here, he wouldn't be able to stop Long Hair.
He only has money in his eyes, not ranks. Do you want to live?
- Get going if you want to live! - Aren't you both too daring?
Captain, how much longer before we can get out of Kachin Hills?
About ten kilometers... without any surprises.
We should be able to get there before dark.
Keep your mouth shut.
What if something goes wrong?
It's not something we can joke about.
Don't worry.
Even though that damn Long Hair is a loud mouth, his hands are really steady.
The number of mines he has disarmed, if piled together,
can build a bridge
across the Nujiang River.
For this kind of small mine, he can disarm it by the time you sneeze.
Come.
What do we do?
Why do you trust that guy?
Why not? If he does it, we all get a share.
You can't find such a great opportunity anywhere else.
If he manages to disarm it,
it's a merit. But what if he doesn't?
Timing and Subtitles by ♞ Team Candle Knights ♘ @ Viki
Medic, if something happens to Long Hair,
you won't be laughing about it inside. Will you?
Go, go, go away. Rookie,
am I that kind of a person?
You are not a person.
Hey, it's odd.
Why is it taking so long today?
Could it be that he is already done?
And he ditched us after carving out the reward?
Making a decision without Captain's permission is against military rules.
If something happens, you will all get shot.
What the hell?!
Something went wrong. Let's go.
Captain.
Trouble. It's an ambush by the Japanese. Let's go.
Are you all right, Long Hair?
Knife, Long Hair, are you both alright?
- Hurry. - Get up.
Are you in one piece? All here.
Let's see if what's inside is worth thirty silver coins.
You rascal!
If you were going to ignite this, at least give us a heads-up! You gave us quite a scare!
Are you really a man?
A little explosion gets you all out of whack.
Long Hair, the mine may not have been powerful,
but it was still dangerous.
Did that explosion scare all of you out of your minds?
Why are you acting like a woman? Stop complaining like one.
Hurry and check what is inside.
Sure.
This...
It's pretty advanced.
Thanks, thanks.
If you didn't say it was advanced,
I wouldn't have even noticed that this thing is really advanced.
Stop pretending and let the mechanic take a look.
As if he can figure it out.
This is Rookie's specialty.
It's something you can't compete with.
This is not a regular case used by the military.
Do you see all the dents on this thing? What are they from?
It means that it has been smashed.
If it were up to me, this means that this thing is not worth much. It's already like this. How much money could it be worth?
Could it be that there is another bomb inside?
Oh no!
If it were a bomb, it's a highly advanced one. If it goes off, we would all be dead already.
No way. It's not a bomb. I've worked on bombs for all these years. Don't you trust me?
Hey, this belongs to the Americans.
It's printed with "U.S."
No way. Why would the Japanese have American things?
It could be spoils of war captured by the Japs.
Before, they might've gotten into a fight with some Americans and took it from them.
This is Kachin Hills.
There are no Americans here. Let me look.
What the hell is this thing? It has all these dents from being smashed up.
How do we open it?
The dents might be from the Japanese's unsuccessful attempts at opening it.
Why would they treasure it if they weren't aware of what was inside?
If the Americans were to have taken a dump here,
the Japanese would be sniffing it.
Be serious.
Knife, what are you doing? Give it to Big Bull.
Give it to me. Let me try.
Keep your distance.
That didn't work.
Be careful of the bullets.
What are you doing?!
Timing and Subtitles by ♞ Team Candle Knights ♘ @ Viki
I'm sorry.
Captain.
So hot. That still didn't break it open.
Geez.
- Captain. - Captain.
Why was there an explosion?
Can't you just stop causing trouble for a moment?
What trouble did I cause here?
Be honest. Am I targeting you, or are you set on going against me?
Are you looking for an excuse to leave? Have you not had enough to be mocked for?! Do you want to be a deserter again?!
Captain, you misunderstood. How could Zhao Ban Kuo be a deserter?
Did I give you permission to talk?
- Captain, you are mistaken about Rookie. - Don't be angry.
Right. You are really wrong about Rookie. We can all testify to that.
A Japanese hid a mine under him. I didn't notice it when I was helping Knife bury the body, and it exploded.
But the old saying is so true. "Fortune follows disaster" and vice versa.
Get to the point.
The explosion revealed something new.
Look. It revealed a box.
