[The Fatal Mission ]
- Episode 9 -
Similar to the American at the cliff.
There is no fracture or gun shot wound.
I can't figure out what killed him.
Captain.
I only found a ring.
Huh?
There seems to be some letters.
- Si Mao, take a look. - Yes.
Wait. Beware of germs.
You are disgusting.
Four Eyes, stop pretending when you don't know.
Long Hair, shut up.
A - M - Y
Captain, it's a woman's name.
It's probably a wedding name. The name is probably his wife.
Rookie, I didn't know you had experience of this kind.
Why are the Americans in this jungle
so bad with luck?
Oh my.
Could Knife...
be right?
Enough with the speculation.
Bury him. Then we'll head out.
Stop.
What is it?
The sensation under our feet feels wrong with these leaves.
Jeez.
What's the big deal? Do you have eyes under your feet?
It's just the corns under your feet.
My feet are bomb detectors.
The ground should feel a certain way when you step on it.
The feel is wrong here.
It doesn't seem right.
It does seem wrong. It smells here.
Who farted?
Or who pooped in their pants?
Big Bull, the smell is from the ground.
What do you think is underneath?
Stop wasting time. Dig it open and take a look.
Understood.
Captain.
Put on your bio-chem suit.(Prior to NBC and hazmat suits)
Don't touch it.
They were our brothers. We should bury them.
- We have to do it. - It's not that I don't want to,
but this forest is too humid. It will cause a plague.
Old fool, why are you over there?
Hurry over.
Captain, look.
They were probably from the 5th Army.
With so many dead, could they have been killed by the Japs?
They weren't tied up or have obvious gun shot wounds.
They might have died of disease.
Who buried them?
If not the Japanese, then it had to be the aborigines.
I say it was the Japs cleaning up the battle field.
Let's bury them.
Wang Si Mao, take care of the bio-chem suits.
Understood.
I think these bodies
have something to do with the red circle on the American map.
I say we ignore it.
This whole jungle is a death trap.
Right.
These woods are cursed.
That's why there are so many dead people here.
We will be like them and die here.
Old fool, have you lost your mind?
I'm not the fool. You guys are the fools.
Just because of an order, you came here without knowing why
- and just to meet with your death. - Hey!
Who says we will die here?
Remember what Knife said?
Once you go in, you will never make it out alive.
Once we pass those two weird trees, death awaits us.
Now.
You see it and you understand.
It seems like these soldiers from the expeditionary force
and those Americans; in the future,
we'll have the same outcome as them.
If we don't turn back now and return, we'll all die here!
Medic, shut up!
If you continue talking nonsense,
I will court-marshal you.
Okay. Go ahead.
I dare you to kill me with one shot! I just want to go back.
If I go back, I still have hope; but if I stay here, I'll surely die. I don't want to die!
Do you think that I wouldn't dare to kill you?!
Why are you hitting me?!
Tie him up. Let's go.
Yes.
I found the airdrop supplies.
They received supplies from the outside around here.
They shouldn't be too far. Everyone, march at full speed!
Why hasn't the old fool awakened yet?
Big Bull, did you use too much force and really injure him?!
No way. I didn't even hit him hard.
Hey, wake up.
I've checked. He'll wake up in a second. Don't worry.
This jungle is really weird.
Long Hair.
I think Long Hair is right.
We still haven't faced the Japanese yet. Now one has left and another one has gone crazy.
As I see it, if we want to live, there's only one solution.
What solution?
Let's disband right here.
Zhao Ban Kuo, have you gone crazy, too?
I have really gone crazy. Not just me but everyone else, too!
We came to this awful place for some weird mission.
Is it possible not to go crazy?!
Rookie.
Captain.
Rookie's words may have been a bit crude,
but he's got a point.
Even if we sacrifice ourselves in fighting the Japanese,
we will not even frown at all.
But what's the use of dying here and now? What purpose does that serve?
I can't tell you the details of our mission.
But I can tell you this.
Everything you do now
is all for eliminating those Japanese and for the victory of war.
Fight the Japanese? It has been so many days.
We have been moving around in the forest. What does it have to do with fighting the Japanese?
If it wasn't to fight the Japanese then why would we be here?
Did our superiors send us here for recreation?
As a soldier, how is it different where you fight the Japanese?
Captain, how could it be the same?!
We don't even have a soldier identity number here. If we were to die here,
no one will know who we are.
Old fool is awake.
My goodness...
Old fool.
Don't pretend you have amnesia.
Do you still want to run away?
Yes... No, no, no!
I won't run again.
Empty words. (Chinese idiom: Mouth says yes, heart says no)
- Untie him. - Yes
Get up.
Captain, is it the Japanese?
It's one of us. It's the sound of a Thompson. (submachine gun)
Don't tell me there are other Chinese here.
Impossible.
That is the Japanese's Type 38 Rifle.
- Captain - Knife.
How did you come back? Was it you who opened fire?
Yeah. Captain, those Japanese have followed us here.
If we don't kill them, they will keep on chasing us.
Captain, the Japanese have at least 20-something people.
They are more well-equipped than us. We can't take them head on.
Why? Are you afraid to die?
Captain, our objective is not fighting these Japs here.
Let's save the ammunition.
Okay, let's move.

Captain, running like this isn't going to work.
Who has smoke grenades?
Long Hair, you set up the mines 50 meters ahead.
Okay.
Knife, you go on guard.
The rest of you take out your smoke grenades.
Long Hair, are you ready?
- Yes - Let's go
Captain, I'm done.
Captain, the Japanese are still about 500 meters away.
Let's prepare to fight. Take cover!
Smoke grenades.
Everyone, take cover!
Open fire!
Everyone shoot!
Take cover!
We'll put on our gas masks and wait for the smoke to disperse.
Yes, sir.
Everyone, put your gas mask on.
Retreat.
- Report. - Three serious injuries, two minor injuries.
Leave two men on lookout. The rest of you, follow me.
Yes, sir.
- Hurry! - Hurry!
Captain, those Japanese have caught up again.
They've actually managed to evade from the mines I placed.
How should we fight, Captain?
How else can we fight? Just fight them any way you can then!
Or we can just go back and fight again.
Why did you hit me?!
I hit you?! It's for the previous punch you gave me.
Aren't you too cocky? How dare you talk to the Captain like this?!
Captain, I have punished him for you. He is really too much.
Listen. What is that?
What happened again?
This way.
Did we choose the wrong path, Captain?
No, it's this one.
Then how did we go in a circle and get back to this river again after all that marching?
We're not walking in circle. It's not the same river.
Don't you see a bridge there?
There are a lot of rivers like this in Kachin Hills,
especially during the rainy season. You guys don't have to make such a big fuss about it.
This bridge should have been built by the Americans.
Are you guys still going to kill those tag-alongs?
Let's give those Japanese a gift this time.

- Let's go.- Hurry.
Is everyone ready?
That's enough for the Japanese to drink a pot.
You think the Japanese will take the bait?
Captain, I'll analyze it for you.
If the Japanese don't take the bait this time,
then we will have missed the best chance to withdraw.
By then, we will not be able to leave anymore.
Don't forget we have an even more important mission.
You can't just let some people do as they wish, right?
We can't sacrifice all our resources
just for these few Japanese, right?
And also as a veteran soldier
and as a Major, I shall analyze this for you.
If you want to leave, you can do so on your own. No one will stop you from doing so.
Long-winded.
It hasn't been too long since the bridge was damaged.
The explosion we heard a while ago was from here.
According to the map, if we go 10 kilometers north,
we'll get there, but we have to across this river.
Everyone, cross the river.
Captain, that's dangerous.
Why did the Chinese blow up the bridge?
It's because they're afraid of us pursuing them.
I won't let them get away again.
Everyone, across the river!
Yes, sir.
Fire!
Counterattack!
Don't be stunned. Let's go!
- Ah! - Huh!
Stop!
We defeated the Japs thoroughly today. It feels great!
The language you use is too classy.
You should say that this fight is just too satisfying. It's swell.
If these Japs dare to follow up again, we won't let anyone of them go back alive.
I say that the reason we won this battle is all thanks to our Ban Kuo.
Lad, your shooting skills are not that great but your head is pretty good.
Captain, Rookie has done really well. How do you plan to reward him?
Let's withdraw all together.
Captain, why are you leaving without answering me?
If you want to wait for the Japanese reinforcements to get here,
you can stay here alone.
Why are you being so stiff?
Captain, it's all right now. The Japanese did not follow us.
Let's all take a rest here and prepare to have a meal.
Okay.
Hey, Knife. Didn't you say that you would die after you came in here?
Why did you come in as well?
Captain, even though we will die for sure,
but I'd rather die together with you guys.
Who wants to die together with you?!
I...
Enough. I will go on guard. You guys rest up.
To express my apology, I will find you something to eat.
- Get more. - Okay.
I say, guys, that we are lucky.
It's not enough to have something good to eat. We should also have something good to drink, right?
He is not going to give us that.
Old fool, there is no alcohol here.
Even though we don't have alcohol, we still have stories.
Right! Whose turn is it?
Grassy Third. He ranks the highest among us.
You didn't finish your story last time.
Stop brushing your two strands of hair.
You don't see Long Hair brushing his hair.
Come on. Just tell your story.
It's true I fought the Japs many times,
but the things I know are the same as
those battle reports distributed in the army.
You can save your official statements. They sound so bland and boring.
Why don't you tell us one?
That's right, Grassy Third. After everything you've been through,
we want to hear your story.
Let's start with your most famous battle.
At the time, you were the only one left alive.
Your promotion was based on it.
We want to hear your story.
I took my company into battle.
We confronted the Nara forces.
We held them off for five days and five nights. The fight was intense.
To me, it represents pain and I don't want to talk about it again.
You don't want to talk about it, or you don't know how to talk about it.
Of course...
Of course, it's because I don't want to talk about it.
Oh, you don't want to.
But back then, you talked about it with great detail and with gusto.
As if it was the real thing.
It's not "as if." It was real.
Grassy Third, what would happen if you included anything false in what you said?
Zhao Ban Kuo, what's your problem?
Nothing. I just wanted to know
what would happen if you made a false statement?
I will have a terrible death.
Good, you said it, a terrible death.
God will judge your actions.
Hey.
That's the end of the story?
There is something big behind that story.
The show is just starting.

Zhao Ban Kuo.
Why did you give me a hard time in front of everyone?
I cannot bear to see the way you fake benevolence and righteousness.
So you hate me this much.
Then why did you save me in that battle just then?
I don't want to let you die.
Am I not the person you hate the most?
I do hate you.
I really want to shoot you dead personally.
So, you'd better take care of your own life.
Don't die at the hands of the Japanese.
Captain.
Why did you come here?
Captain, I have a question for you.
Speak.
What have you experienced before?
What did you say?
I discovered... that you're not as cold as what I've imagined.
What exactly do you want to say?
When Knife told us that the people who followed us
were the Japanese 18th Division,
I found out that your response was dramatic.
The 18th Division.
There must be a reason, right?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're avoiding my question. Now I'm even more curious.
The 18th Division of the Japanese Army
was exactly the culprit of the Nanking Massacre.
If I didn't remember it wrong,
you're from Nanking, Captain.
So what?
Captain, what I've said is correct. Right?
Remember your role. You have no right to ask about these type of things.
The only thing you can do is obey my orders.
Yes. I should obey your orders,
but you need to be responsible to every single squad member.
You cannot treat human life as if it were not worth a straw.
What do you mean?
Are you saying that I'm disqualified to be a squad leader?
You think about it carefully.
Since we started, the Japanese keep following us.
Don't you feel there is a reason?
For two opposing forces to run into one another in such a big rain forest, the odds aren't high to begin with;
but we keep bumping into one another time and time again.
Don't you feel there is a reason for it?
Are you saying that there is a rat in our squad?
Captain, don't you even have this level of alertness?
Please cut to the chase. Don't equivocate.
I've doubted all squad members, including Big Bull.
But I've not found any evidence till now.
Impossible. All these people were carefully selected by myself.
There's no way for problems.
Actually, it's you. You always doubt others.
Have you doubted yourself?
Do you doubt me?
Isn't it so?
You came to ask me these questions out of the blue.
What's your intention? Are you a thief calling out another burglar?
In order to undermine everyone so we can return;
so you could reunite with your woman.
Captain, your imagination is quite rich.
You've always been against me.
You all of a sudden start to care about me for my sake.
What kind of things wouldn't a deserter be willing to do?
Why? Did I hurt your pride?
I am very strong. You can't hurt me.
Kamio, your squad
only has two soldiers remaining?
Yes.
Then, that squad escaped from you two times
and ran off after killing over ten Imperial Japanese soldiers.
That is an embarrassment to soldiers.
Major, that was an exception.
The first time, we were attacked from behind.
But the second time, those Chinese attacked us from the front.
Don't make excuses!
Don't forget. You are part of the 18th Division.
The 18th Division has never lost. Invincible.
I don't want Kamio Masao to ruin it.
Do not worry.
I will crush that squad for sure.
I will give you one more chance.
- Thank you. - When can you finish it?
One month.
I will destroy them by then.
All right.
[Tengchong]
Zhuo Yan, you don't look well.
Teacher, I am fine. I will be all right after some rest.
Something on your mind?
Your face is revealing that already. Speak.
Teacher, I plan to marry Zhao Ban Kuo.
Your father disagreed.
Even when he disagreed, we still set a time with the church.
Then why do you remain so glum?
On the day of our wedding,
Zhao Ban Kuo disappeared.
When did this happen?
About 20 some days ago.
Was there any explanation from Zhao Ban Kuo?
He only asked someone to give me a message.
In the message, he wrote that he's leaving and asked me to forget about him.
It seems rather odd with what happened.
Did Zhao Ban Kuo show any unusual behavior before?
Actually our wedding was a rather sudden decision.
In that case, it's not a case where Zhao Ban Kuo was dodging you intentionally.
However, I can't find any trace of him anywhere.
I fear that someone did this by design.
He doesn't want you to know his whereabouts.
Teacher, what you meant was that somebody took him away?
Zhao Ban Kuo was forced to do so involuntarily. Why?
I am afraid only very few people know about the true reason.
But to find out his whereabouts, that shouldn't be that difficult.
He is after all a member of the troops. He can't simply disappear without a reason.
No matter where he went, there has to be an order of transfer.
If there is an order of transfer, why then when I asked my father,
he said that he doesn't know anything about it.
Everyone has their own secrets.
Countries, troops, and organizations.
They also have their own share of secrets.
Since it's a secret, how could they let you know?
It seems that for me to investigate this,
I still need to start with my father.
It's too risky. Su Wei Ran is your father
and also the Commander of Division 36.
I know that. However, Zhao Ban Kuo is very important to me.
I have to find him.
I can't let him disappear from my world like this, without any explanation.
After you go back, what do you plan to do to investigate Zhao Ban Kuo's whereabouts?
I plan to ask my father again.
If your father could tell you,
he probably wouldn't have hidden it from you last time.
What you mean is... I should investigate secretly.
To make him relax his alertness, it depends on your attitude.
I know what to do now.
Remember. Don't do anything rash.
I will continue to check for you on my side.
Okay. Thank you, Teacher.
- Dad.- Zhuo Yan, you are back.
