[The Fatal Mission]
- Episode 8 -
Those Americans were lucky.
It would've been more troublesome bringing him along.
Lucky? If you encounter the same thing in the future,
we can be lucky like that as well. When the time comes, you better not cry.
Why are you looking for an argument?
Based on this, there are quite a few Americans who came into this mountainous area.
What is it that they want? Why would they dispatch troops to Kachin Hills?
You guys should think about this. The Americans are so cunning.
They always want to use us as cheap troops to keep the Japanese in check. It's normal for them to keep things from us.
Long Hair, you are the cheap one.
Right now, the Americans are our allies. Allied forces, don't you understand? Allied forces!
Allied forces? That must be an excuse we use to deceive ourselves.
I've met way more foreigners than the two of you combined. How could I not understand
their little tricks?
Medic, what do you think?
Wait a moment, Captain. I need more time.
About the exclamation mark drawn on the map by the Americans,
could it be a sign for this dead body?
Captain, is that possible?
That's a possibility.
If the exclamation mark on the map signifies the location of the body,
it would be easier for them to retrieve the body later on.
Also, Americans care very much about the bodies of their soldiers.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Guys, think about it.
In this location, the Americans can't just have this one corpse.
If one body represents a mark,
then on this map, I believe it would have been filled with exclamation marks.
We have walked for such a long time. We should have reached the area marked by the red circle;
but besides this dead body, there isn't anything else.
Could it be the Americans were making a big deal out of nothing?
Captain, I've found the cause of his death. He died from the fall.
His tibia was fractured when he fell down.
Then before his death, what injury did he sustain?
There aren't any obvious wounds on his body.
Considering the postmortem lividity and the smell,
this person has been dead for more than two weeks.
- Medic. - Yes?
- You're sure that he died more than two weeks ago? - Of course.
Nonsense. The corpse would have rotted in two weeks. Are you sure?
That's right.
Then how did he not rot?
So what's the cause?
I reckon there is certainly some reason
or a certain substance which prevented the germs from spreading.
What is it?
There are many causes. It's too difficult even for me to understand. This is extremely odd.
Fine. No matter what the reason is,
let's bury him first.
Pick him up.
Here, give me a hand.
Hey, don't move.
Captain, look.
What is the big deal? Just some lousy grass. It's all over these hills. It just got stuck on his shoe. It's very common.
It's nothing.
What are you talking about?
Captain... dandelion.
Huh?
[Dandelion]
Right, it is a dandelion.
That means the American squad passed an area with dandelions.
We passed the woods with that carving and now these dandelion fibers.
It's possible that this is a very important clue for us.
Captain,
don't you think this is too strange?
This is not the season for dandelions.
Where did they come from?
Also, the Americans followed the red line on the map,
taking this cursed guy along with them.
And two weeks after this guy died, his body still has not rotted.
Don't you think... this is really strange?
Um, Captain...
Knife was saying... the warning from the aborigines..
Could it have been for real?
There are many dangerous places. Once you go in,
then it's impossible to return.
Enough of this. Stop speculating over everything.
Old Fool, who are you trying to scare?
You are such a chicken.
If you don't dare to walk forward, then we'll leave without you.
You're acting scared because of a dead person and some lousy grass.
Captain, don't listen to him.
Hurry and bury this person.
Hurry.
Here, pick him up. Go.
Let's go.
Okay, your wound should be fine now.
Thanks.
Did you not sleep well yesterday?
Today... is the 49th day after my parents' deaths. (T/N: In Chinese tradition, any multiple of 7 from the date of death is a key date for the burial rites.)
Then you should burn paper money and pray with fresh incense for them later.
I had a dream about them last night.
They blamed me for not avenging them.
I have to kill Ichiro Kamio. He is the highest in command.
It was all because of his order... I must kill him.
An Zi, don't be rash.
It's not too late for an educated man to plot revenge after ten years.
You should listen to your teacher's advice. It's not too late to avenge after you develop a plan.
- Old Xiao. - What's the rush?
Did you see An Zi?
Is he not in the patient room?
No, he's not in the room. I looked all around.
Maybe he got bored and went to look for Da Qiao.
I don't think so. He told me it's the 49th day after his parents' deaths and asked me to prepare things for him.
Da Qiao, did you see An Zi?
Isn't he in his room?
Something must've happened.
Let's go visit the Director. Let's go.
Disappeared?
I think it's possible that
he is on the lookout for Ichiro Kamio to avenge his parents' deaths.
Director, how would we find An Zi now?
He must've gone looking for Ichiro Kamio.
Then where do we go to find Ichiro Kamio now?
Ichiro Kamio often goes to the kendo gym. I'll go there and check.
You two should check the command center.
That An Zi... The center is heavily guarded.
He is only heading toward his own death.
An Zi is only thinking about killing Ichiro Kamio, even with his life. He may not care that much.
You two remember to bring him back when you find him.
Don't try to encourage him.
Okay.
- You stay here and cover us. - Okay.
- Let's split up. - Okay, let's go.
How's the progress of Professor Ueno's research?
They seem to have misplaced the key documents.
They are a bunch of useless guys.
Head over and investigate immediately.
Get rid of all the witnesses and those responsible.
Also, deliver the completed plague bacillus to Lashio in Burma.
Yes, sir.

Let's go over there.
After him and capture him alive.
- An Zi, are you all right? - Director.
Let's go.
Who is it?
It's me.
An Zi is hurt.
An Zi, can you hear me?
An Zi.
An Zi, this is not the time to avenge your parents.
What you did could have easily exposed our location.
Sorry.
Old Xiao, it's not the time to talk about this matter now.
Old Xiao, Da Qiao, the Japs' search party will be here soon. Go out and get rid of them.
Understood.
- Zuo Yan, prepare for surgery. - Okay.
Tycoon, what brings you here? (Tycoon / Taikun - Chinese title for Japanese top ranking person)
Yes, sir!
Tycoon, there are only patients here. Please don't hurt them.
Tycoon, this is Director Bian's hospital.
Please take it easy on us.
There was an assassination attempt on Colonel Kamio. I'm here to search for the assassin.
No matter whose place it is, I won't take it easy on any one of them.
Yes.
What are you doing?
The gun was fired in a southern direction. Go!
Slowly.
Zuo Ya, continue with the surgery.
- Who is it? - It's me.
Come on.
Are you okay? Why are you back so late?
Didn't you tell me to distract them?
I led them around three times and then came back.
It's good that you are okay.
I don't know if An Zi can make it this time.
He will survive if his fever subsides tomorrow.
Teacher, what are you going to do with An Zi?
He tried to assassinate Ichiro Kamio. The Japs will never let him get away with it.
The Japs will definitely focus their search on any clinics,
hospitals, and pharmacies. He is not safe here.
I've thought about this, too. Keeping him here is not a long-term solution.
We'll have to get him out of Tengchong immediately. For him and for our secret station,
it's the safest way.
Then do you have any ideas?
Director, Colonel Kamio is waiting for you inside. Please come this way.
Colonel, Director Bian is here.
Colonel Kamio, good to see you.
Mr. Bian, long time no see. I have wanted to see you.
Truth be told, I didn't want to see you.
Every time I see you, it means that something is wrong with your health.
True. No healthy person wants to see a doctor.
What's wrong this time?
Why didn't you call me earlier? This wound is infected.
I was too busy catching a man. I forgot.
Did you catch him?
I'm surprised you care.
The incident caused a panic. Even my hospital was searched twice.
I think everyone wants this incident resolved as soon as possible.
Do you wish for me... to catch this person?
My thoughts are not important.
That's true. Besides, you are Chinese, too.
Every Chinese wants to kill me.
Don't you want to kill me in your heart?
And yet, you asked a Chinese to be your personal physician.
And yet, you are treating an invader's injuries.
I am a doctor. Treating the injured is my duty.
In my eyes, only patients exist.
It seems... we are both similar. We are risk takers.
No, you are wrong.
I stay here because I hate risks and prefer the easy choice.
Colonel, your wound has been bandaged.
Thank you, Mr. Bian.
Colonel, I have a favor to ask.
- Name it. - Can you send a car to take me back?
I'll lend you the car for a few days so you can come treat me.
Thank you, Colonel.
Mr. Bian, ever since I met you,
you're always so calm.
I wonder what would make you anxious?
I'm going now.

Director, where should I park the car?
- Park it in the back courtyard. - Okay.
- Old Xiao. - What's going on?
Kamio lent me a car.
- Damn traitor. - Hey! Who are you calling that?! Come back here!
Old Xiao!
He called you names!
Forget about it.
Director, you treat the ill and deliver medicine to the city folk
for free, yet this is what they call you.
Let's go.
Director, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you yesterday.
Never mind. How is your wound?
I'm fine.
Teacher, I have an idea.
Let An Zi pretend to be a taxi driver and we can both leave the city together in disguise.
- No. - Why not?
If the Japs catch you, are you aware of the consequences?
An Zi will change his clothes. Nobody will recognize him.
Can you change his gunshot wound?
Teacher, after lunch around 1 or 2 p.m. is when the Japs take it easy.
They will be lax in their security.
No.
- Teacher... - I said no!
Teacher... I know you are worried about the safety of An Zi and I,
but we are more worried about the safety of
our comrades and our secret location.
If An Zi continues to stay in Tengchong,
he might be able to evade exposure one or two times. But what about the next time?
The conditions are so dangerous and there isn't a better plan.
Director, I feel what Miss Su said has merit.
I think getting him out as soon as possible
is the best option.
The difficulty of leaving the city has increased.
Their security is tighter now.
I will leave the city together with you two.
Come.
Captain, there is a wound.
I got this from working.
Come. Arrest him!
Tycoon, this... Tycoon, let go of me!
Shoot!
Director, Miss Su, the Japs' security is very tight.
An Zi, are you alright with your injury?
I am.
But it's too dangerous for you two to be with me.
Let's go back. I'll sneak out at night by myself.
It's too late for that.
If we were to turn around,
they will shoot us on sight.
What should we do?
Follow through with the plan.
Drive.
Show your IDs and get out of the car for inspection.
- Mr. Tahara, how are you? - Oh, Director Bian.
How is your leg injury?
It's better now. Thank you.
What's going on here?
We are trying to catch Colonel Kamio's attacker.
I heard about it myself from him a while ago.
Okay, we'll get out of the car for your inspection.
But I heard it was a man. Does this lady need to get out as well?
You and the lady may stay in the car.
But your driver needs to be inspected.
Fine.
Get out.
Over there.
Take off your clothes. Hurry up.
Oh my, now I'm going to be late.
I hope Colonel Kamio won't mind.
Director, what's your purpose in leaving the city?
To treat a critically ill patient. Otherwise, the Colonel wouldn't have lent me his personal car.
This is the Colonel's car? No wonder it looks familiar.
Let them through.
Don't move. The Japs are watching us.
An Zi, has your wound reopened?
Hold on until we're out of their sight.
- An Zi! - An Zi!
An Zi!
An Zi.
An Zi, hold on.
An Zi.
An Zi!
[Rest In Peace]
An Zi, rest well.
I can't believe it.
His injury was more severe than I thought.
Why did he lie to us?
If I had known earlier,
I wouldn't have attempted to leave Tengchong.
Maybe then, An Zi... wouldn't have died.
Zuo Yan,
An Zi did it so that he wouldn't place his fellow comrades at risk.
Had he stayed, the danger would have been even greater.
The Japanese would have ultimately discovered him in the hospital.
He gambled his own life.
If he had won, great.
If not,
at least others would not be harmed.
He did it not only to protect us,
but also for his own belief
in the dignity and independence of us as a people.
Why was he so foolish?
How many more young people must sacrifice their lives like An Zi?
It's the reason why we fight,
Not only to give hope to the living,
but to also to serve a purpose for the dead;
so we may be worthy of our country and our people.
It's a pity An Zi was so young
to have died.
Zuo Yan, you must believe
although war may temporarily change our history,
it's the peace that results that guides and rebuilds our future.
We are enduring this war in exchange for a peaceful future
and an everlasting harmony.
An Zi,
many like you will guide us closer to our goal.
Because of you, we will be even stronger.
I hope that day comes soon.
Zuo Yan, that day will come.

Captain, Captain, Captain!
Do you not hear the dinner bell?
Okay, we'll rest here and head out first thing tomorrow.
Yes, yes, yes.
Cao Guo Jiu, you take the first watch.
Long Hair,
are you starving?
It sounds like you swallowed a toad and it's been croaking in your stomach.
Which one of your ears heard it?
Based on human anatomy, this one.
Is it? It's so useless, we should get rid of it.
Ouch! Aiya...
Shut up!
Not tired yet? We can keep marching.
Pass me the cookies.
Just give me food.
Man, why are you sitting here alone?
I want some peace and quiet.
You miss home?
Big Bull, Big Bull, what do you think of my drawing?
Watermelons for sale.
Do you want to eat watermelon?
- Follow me. - Watermelons for sale.
The watermelons are soft and sweet.
- I want to buy half a watermelon. - Okay.
Stop. I just saw a fly land on there.
Wash it.
Okay.
Hurry, hurry.
You!
This tastes great.
It's so sweet.
Yummy.
I miss home, too. Especially my mom.
Big Bull, how long has it been since you left home?
Six years?
I don't remember exactly.
I never went back after I ran away that day.
Big Bull, look.
That's just your luck.
I'm telling you. You won't ever catch more than me today. I'll beat you for sure.
Save it. It's not even time to determine who the winner is.
Fine.
Look, another one. Bigger than yours.
Stupid, you can't even hold on to a fish.
It's slippery.
- That one doesn't count. - Okay.
You can't cheat!
We agreed to catch fish here!
Big Bull, where is Ying Zi? She was supposed to meet me at my place.
She left already.
When?
A while ago. Didn't you see her?
Ying Zi!
Ying Zi! Ying Zi!
Ying Zi!
Big Bull, Ying Zi is over there!
Ying Zi!
Ying Zi! Ying Zi! Ying Zi!
Zhao Ban Kuo, if you take one more step, I'll kill you, too.
Big Bull, don't be rash.
Take the money and leave as far as you can.
Run!
Thank you.
Catch him!
Big Bull killed someone.
- Hurry! - Don't let him escape!
Ban Kuo,
do you still see me as your buddy?
Answer me first. Do you hate me?
Why would I hate you? I killed your uncle.
But my uncle raped Ying Zi;
otherwise, Ying Zi wouldn't have committed suicide.
I understand now.
It was all your uncle's fault.
It was how things were. It had nothing to do with you.
But, Big Bull, I can't help but feel I wronged you.
Ying Zi grew up with us since she was little.
She was like a sister to me.
Zhao Ban Kuo,
since you valued Yi Zi as your sister, we will kill the Japs together.
After the Japs, we must go after those bullying landowners.
It will be our way of avenging Ying Zi.
Big Bull, what gives you these ideas?
Am I wrong?
We will take back the land from the evil land owners,
then give it to the people of the country. What's wrong with that?
Tell me.
What did you do after you ran away from the village?
Don't change the subject.
Just tell me if you agree with my plan and if you are willing to follow it.
Okay, yeah, we'll fight the Japs together.
We will try to leave this place alive.
Okay.
Let's go.
Major, did you call for me?
We will deploy the land reconnaissance squad and enter Kachin Hills.
Isn't that the land of the indigenous people?
Are there still indigenous people living there?
I understand. I'll make arrangements immediately.
If you can't find them in the indigenous camps...
it means that they have hidden them. So do what you must to find them.
Yes, Sir.
Xiao Fang.
Captain, don't mind him. He was having a sweet dream again.
Bullshit. Captain,
L-Look.
Big Bull, where did you find it?
I don't know. It was there when I just opened my eyes.
Why is there a body here?
There is a tree house up there.
It probably fell from there.
- Wang Zi Mao, get the Medic. - Understood.
Captain.
What the— Where did it come from?! My god!
Where did it come from?!
Enough. Check it.
May I ask a question?
Big Bull, did you sleep with it all night?
- Hurry up and check. - Jeez.
Similar to the one on the cliff.
There is no fracture or gunshot wound.
