[The Fatal Mission]
- Episode 34 -
How's the selection going?
Don't even mention it. The people that were recommended this time were pretty good,
but two are captains and one is a lieutenant colonel.
What is there to choose?
That won't do.
These officers, each one has a higher rank than the next. If we pick them, who is going to take orders from whom?
No. Can't use them.
Division Commander, no one on your recommended list was chosen.
Not one?
The ones I recommended were all top soldiers.
What kind of men does Zhuo Ban Kuo want?
Those soldiers, for direct assaults and battles,
are all among the best.
But when you talk about fighting alone,
it doesn't work.
I see that since you were promoted, the way you talk is so foreign to us.
Why is it that these first-class soldiers absolutely won't do? Who will work then?
Let me put it this way.
We have all been to Kachin Hills.
We all know what it's like over there.
In that kind of place, you can't just rely on military orders to control your men.
So the ones we are looking for, the simpler their demands, the better.
Simpler?
Take Long Hair as an example.
He likes real gold and silver.
Real gold and silver are his only requirements.
Those are all he wants.
Another example is like Big Bull.
He would not change his mind once making his choice.
He would accomplish it without exception.
That's the reason why I picked Brigand.
Rookie, I've realized that you're more calculating than before.
But now you're only certain of the four of us.
That's not enough even for a small squad.
Zhuo Yan,
one more week and I'll be leaving.
I know.
I won't be seeing you off.
Zhuo Yan,
during this time,
I have let you down.
Sorry.
I understand.
You can't forget the days at Kachin Hills.
They're like the memories between us.
I trust you also won't forget them.
Follow your heart's desires. Love is forgiving, not self-indulgent.
Love is caring, not spoiling.
Love is understanding between each other, not one-sided infatuation.
It's perseverance and not quitting.
So I've thought it through.
Let's continue to chase after our happiness.
I...
Okay, I'm going back.
I'm going.
Division Commander, are you still busy? Have something to eat.
You go back.
Let's see what delicious food you brought me again.
Braised fish in brown sauce,
stir-fried lamb with onion, and tofu soup.
Smells awesome.
Here. Dad, enjoy.
Sure.
Tell me. What do you need me for?
Dad, what are you saying? Why must I want something?
Don't take me as someone so scheming.
I couldn't do that.
If I eat this, I would have to be nice to you.
Dad,
I want to join the squad.
Tell me.
Is this your own idea?
Dad, I deliberated seriously about it for a while.
The squad is just starting to recruit people.
They need people.
I am a doctor and have experience in battles.
I am what they need.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
It seems that I can't hide anything from you.
It has to do with Ban Kuo, but it's not all because of him.
I'm your father.
I always know what you are thinking.
One word: Impossible.
Dad.
Dad, look. You already approve of Ban Kuo.
You can't possibly want your daughter to be unhappy, too.
Even though Captain Liao is already gone,
there's still a barrier between us.
I was trying to figure out before what the barrier could be.
Now I understand.
When a couple's love seems so insignificant in comparison to life and death.
So I hope you will give me a chance
to let us rebuild our relationship.
Child, you are my daughter.
I need you to show some self-respect.
I will not allow you to do something so recklessly.
If you don't agree, then I will go to ask Ban Kuo.
Stop.
Do you think he would permit it?
Let me tell you. Zhao Ban Kuo, the person who you once knew, is different now.
He will not accept this unreasonable demand from you.
Think it over carefully.
Kachin Hills?
That's right. Currently, the defense at Nujiang River is very tight.
But the strength of the Expeditionary Forces has weakened.
If they attack Tengchong,
we have no choice but to force our way through Mount Song to succeed at Kachin Hills.
However... Colonel, Du Yuming had a force of forty thousand at Kachin Hills.
But now, only a few thousand remain.
I doubt that the Expeditionary Forces and Du Yuming would make the same mistake again.
Send Sakutaki a telegram at once.
Send reinforcements to defend Kachin Hills.
Also, tell Professor Ueno to speed up his research.
The faster he finishes his research, the faster it helps the soldiers in battle.
At ease.
At attention!
Division Commander.
Sit down.
- See those soldiers? - Yes.
They're all to set out immediately.
The counterattack is starting immediately?
Everybody has waited far too long.
As for you, how's the squad selection going?
The leading five corps of the newly formed Division 38 and 22, which were stationed in India,
are scheduled to reach the northern border of Burma at Kachin Hills the day after tomorrow.
Over there, they will mount
a major offensive against the Japanese 18th Division's base camp.
Therefore, the Army Headquarters ordered you to start training today.
You can be called on to enter Kachin Hills at any given time.
But Division Commander, there aren't enough of us.
We haven't yet filled up the squad roster.
That's why I came.
I came to help you.
Come with me.
Okay.

Division Commander, this—
I don't have to introduce you guys again, right?
You've known each other for a long time.
Zhao Ban Kuo, from now on, Old Jay and Fu Bin
are squad members.
Division Commander, are you joking?
We were just in a fierce fight with them and now they are members of the squad?
That is an order from my superior. They've come here to help.
Can you tell your superior...
This... They can swap them for anyone else.
This—
Could...
Are you joking?
Zhao,
I've heard you really need additional personnel.
I'm here to report for duty.
This man...
I don't need to introduce either.
You don't need to introduce him.
As soon as he's mentioned, Long Hair starts to curse.
Zhao, last time, I was too impulsive.
I'm sorry.
My marksmanship is excellent, and I'm good at Muay Thai.
I will definitely be of great help at Kachin Hills.
Zhao, right now your squad has four men. Right?
Since ancient times, the Chinese have been sensitive about numbers.
One more or one less can change the meaning.
The number "four" in Chinese culture
is certainly not very good.
So, Captain Zhao, adding the two of us will bring it up to six.
"Six, six for everything to go well." (A saying used to wish someone good wealth, health, and happiness.)
It'll serve good luck to our squad.
I didn't realize you were an expert on China.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Good. Then it's decided.
Ban Kuo, here.
During the course mission, if there's something you don't understand, you can ask him.
I think Captain Zhao already recognized that.
Just who is the Captain?
Of course, it's you. You are the Captain.
Division Commander,
if these two disobey my orders at Kachin Hills,
can I shoot them?
Don't joke anymore. You don't have to worry.
Old Jay, when you enter the hills, you and Fu Bin must completely obey Zhao Ban Kuo's orders.
Understood?
Understood.
Zhao,
you're a very interesting Chinese.
I'll tell you the truth. My title rank as Lieutenant Colonel doesn't mean anything.
For Fu Bin and me, our real job is to put forth our best effort
to cooperate with you in completing this mission.
So I will obey you in everything.
Capiche? (Italian for 'understand')
I hope so.
Definitely.
Why did you come back so late?
What did the Chief of Staff call you for?
It can't be because you were promoted,
he's going to arrange for you and Su Zhuo Yan to get married right away. Is it?
Long Hair, don't talk nonsense.
- Pay attention. - Look at this.
The Army Headquarters has assigned two more members to our squad.
How can it be these two Americans?
Why does it include this jerk?
He still dares to come?
He must be here to supervise us.
These Americans, even if they're not here to supervise us, have some other ulterior motive.
Did you really agree?
I couldn't refuse.
It's the order from the Army Headquarters. What else could I do?
Damn, that guy still hasn't paid me my medical expenses.
And yet he dares come to monitor us.
Actually, I thought it over carefully on the way back.
It wouldn't be such a bad thing for the Americans to join our squad.
At least from the perspective of supplies, it would be a big advantage.
In addition, it would raise our chances of getting out of the Kachin Hills alive.
Don't overthink it. Four Eyes,
distribute all the members
their equipment.
It's the smell of gun oil again.
Everyone, choose your weapons.
Oh! I've been a soldier for so long
and this is the first time I've seen so many high-quality guns.
Now I am really going to enjoy my time of shooting them down.
What are you snorting about?
A fake foreigner devil acting as a lap dog for a foreigner. What's so great about that?
Say it again.
Guns and bullets are our shields. Grab some more.
If a person is a different breed, his heart just can't be the same.
All right, enough talking.
Choose your guns and register them, okay? Long Hair, let's go.
Ban Kuo, we're done selecting our guns.
Rookie, it's time.
Right. If you hadn't told me, I'd have forgotten.
Hurry and go. If we don't go now,
we will have to deal with Old Fool's funeral.
Let's go.
- What's going on? - We're going to execute Old Fool.
Damn you, Zhao Ban Kuo,
playing this kind of game with me.
Wait until I get out.
I'll cut you up like cauliflower!
What are you doing?
Captain Zhao's order. Three days have passed and now you'll be executed by firing squad.
What Captain Zhao?
I'm telling you that Rookie is playing with you guys.
He can't kill me!
Off to the execution grounds!
- Go! - Don't! Don't!
Officer, it's all a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!
You—
What just happened?
It wasn't me.
Even though my medical skills aren't that great,
I really am well-practiced in administering shots.
I'm sorry, you two, but I'm a doctor. I had to use strong medicine to cure the illness.
Why is Old Fool driving a car?
Out of the way! Get out of the way!
You little brat! I'll run you down!
Move aside!
Ah!
Why are you running off?!
Old Fool!
Let me go! Let me go!
Old Fool, you dare run?
Rookie, what is it?
After you became a low-ranking officer, you think you're capable now?
You locked me up for three days and I thought you were playing with me.
I didn't realize you were serious!
Today, I have to—
Old Fool, so you think you are right?
So you'd even drive a car and run down your own brothers, wouldn't you?
Let go! Let go!
If you come at me one at a time, I'll cut you guys into pieces!
I'm telling you,
Rookie!
Even if you beat me to death, I won't go to Kachin Hills!
- If you have what it takes, then just shoot me to death. - Let me tell you.
If you dare desert, I'll shoot you dead!
Right here, aim here!
Zhao, listen to me.
If you kill him so casually, no one will obey you.
Captain, after all, we are soldiers from the same squad. Please give him another chance.
Please spare him. We're going to Kachin Hills to carry out a mission.
We can't go without a medic. If you kill him, who will take his place?
I'm telling you guys that there are many medics like him.
I just want to shoot him!
He's had experience at Kachin Hills.
No one can take his place.
Old Fool, we used to consider you our brother,
but now you aren't our brother!
Old Fool, we were all brothers before. I'm telling you,
you are a deserter and Ban Kuo has the right to shoot you.
This is your last chance.
Rookie, just shoot him dead. It's like he already died at Kachin Hills last time.
I said I'd shoot you and I'll do it!
You... You dare shoot me! I... I...
I can't anymore.
What did you just say?
I'll go. Put that down, I'm scared.
Everyone, listen to me! This kind of thing will not ever happen again!
Do you hear me?
Take him away!
Go.
You think you're great just because you're an officer.
Were you really going to kill him just now?
I think I'll shoot you as well.
Old Fool, you can't blame Rookie for what happened today.
- As a deserter, when he shoots you, it means he values justice over loyalty. - Don't give me that crap!
What do you think, Sir?
Don't you think that this incident with the Medic was a little strange?
I figure that old guy was just lucky.
In the end, Zhao Ban Kuo changed his mind.
Why is it that I feel that from start to finish, Zhao Ban Kuo was putting on an act?
It seems that the Medic is someone you can't coax, you must force.
He believed that Zhao Ban Kuo would soften,
and acted really shamelessly, but Zhao Ban Kuo saw right through his idea.
He gave him a strong dose of his own medicine.
This dose of strong medicine was to take a gun and force the Medic
to come with us to Kachin Hills.
At the same time to establish his authority in front of us.
But it was so dangerous a moment ago.
It was almost a real incident.
Actually, he was right to do it that way.
After all, this is the Medic's mental block.
If he doesn't get over it, he will surely have second thoughts at Kachin Hills later on.
That way, not only would he hurt himself, but also harm others.
I didn't realize Zhao Ban Kuo had something up his sleeve.
If he can't handle a bit of heartlessness,
how could he be the captain?
Colonel.
What is the matter?
This is a classified document that we received from our Special Forces in Shanghai.
Bian Chen?
She was deeply involved with Bian Chen.
She was Bian Chen's mentor,
also the leader of a Communist secret organization in Shanghai.
She was betrayed by fellow members and shot by our Special Forces.
Is Bian Chen part of the organization?
It's possible. He could have a senior position.
If we take action, there is no room for mistakes.
Come to think of it, when Bian Chen left the hospital,
he visited his uncle on the west side of the city.
Investigate if you can find him.
I did,
but there weren't any relatives of his.
Surround the mental institution immediately.
Bring all the employees here.
Yes, Sir!
Capture them all.
Freeze.
Move it.
- What's going on? - Come on!
Get moving!
What are you doing?
Get up!
What is it?
Where are you taking us?
Over here.
What are you doing?
Take them outside.
Let's go.
Teacher, it's bad. It's bad!
The Japanese have broken in and are arresting everyone.
We must have been exposed.
Da Qiao, go to Division 36 to find the Director.
I'll deal with them!
Teacher, that won't do. I'll stay behind. You go.
Don't waste time! Go!
Hurry!
Da Qiao, go out through the window! We'll meet up outside!
Teacher, you--
Leave! Go!
They ran out of ammo. Capture them.
Take them away.
Let me go!
Let me go! Let me go!
Colonel.
Did he confess?
After interrogating him for three days, he hasn't confessed.
- Wake him up. - Yes, Sir.
Old Xiao,
we are old acquaintances.
It seems you don't want to save any face for me.
Where is Bian Chen now?
Do you think you can get anything out of my mouth?
Fine.
If you don't want to talk, I won't force you.
I, as a person, have always put a lot of emphasis on family.
You've been away these past few days and your family is concerned about you.
Your father and mother are old.
They really miss their son.
So I have helped you invite them here.
You Jap!
Bring them.
Dad! Mom!
- Son! - Son!
Let my dad and mom go! Do you have the guts to take me on?
Now do you remember you have something to say?
I remember.
You...
You are a beast!
Aiya!
Chinese always emphasize filial piety.
So do you want to be an unfilial son?
Since ancient times, it is always hard to be both loyal and filial at the same time.
You son of bitch,
you dare to speak to me of filial piety!
Let my dad and mom go. Do you dare to take me on?
Do it.
- Son! - Son!
Let her go!
You animals! Let her go!
Come at me! Beat me! You Jap, let her go!
Come and hit me! You animal!
Don't hit her! Hit me!
Why are you in such a hurry? What's so urgent?
There's a patient I want you to look at.
- Director Bian. - Da Qiao.
Don't move. How did you get hurt like this?
Director Bian, we've been exposed. In order to protect me, Teacher
was captured by the Japs.
- What? - What do we do now?
First, recover from you wounds. Let me take care of the rest of it.
I must go back to Tengchong to rescue Old Xiao.
It's too dangerous to go by yourself.
The list of underground members of the party is still at the hospital. I have to go back to destroy it.
Then I'll go with you.
No... First, you have to heal your wounds and after you recover,
find the guerrilla troops in the north of Tengchong. Look for Lei Zi.
We'll meet there.
Da Qiao, remember. About what happened at Tengchong, only you and I can know.
We can't let anyone else know,
- including Zhuo Yan. - Okay.
You rest and recuperate.
Teacher, how is the patient?
Fortunately, the patient was sent here in time.
We only have to do a minor surgery and he'll be fine.
Let's discuss the plan for the surgery.
What happened over in Tengchong?
While carrying out his mission, Da Qiao ran into some Japs.
Zhuo Yan, I have to return for a visit.
No, that's too dangerous.
What do we do if Da Qiao's identity is exposed?
I'll go with you.
Da Qiao has been badly wounded.
You have to stay and take care of him.
Also, help him hide his identity.
But you...
Don't worry. Nothing will happen to me.
Then how long will it take for you to return?
I'll come back and see you once I've taken care of business.
You have to be careful.
Don't worry.

Today, I want to teach you another sentence.
Luxembourg once said this.
"As long as I'm alive,"
"the beauty of life,"
"the sky and the clouds"
"will always be with me. As long as I live,
"I'll always be behind you."
"I'll always love you."
Forever?
Love you?
Zhao Yan,
I forgot to tell you
that verse wasn't said by Luxembourg,
it was I who said it.
[Tengchong]
Did you find his whereabouts?
We've tightened the guard watch at the gate and its surrounding areas.
We haven't found Bian Chen yet.
Probably, he found out we were looking for him, so he fled.
No, I know him very well.
He won't abandon his people.
Since we took quick action,
I'm sure there are traces left at the hospital.
So he will definitely return.
He could be back in Tengchong already.
Then I will have people search Tengchong.
There is no need for doing that now.
If he's back... where do you think he'll go first?
The hospital.
Please rest assured that we've surrounded the hospital.
Just be extra cautious.
When the time comes, we'll play our trump card.
Why is there a blackout?
You guys, go check in the back.
Yes, Sir!
Who's there?
Idiot, don't you recognize my voice?
Why is there a blackout? Check it out right now.
Hurry!
Colonel.
What is going on?
We are confirming the problem now.
Colonel, I think Bian Chen is here as you said.
He must be the one who is plotting this.
Dr. Bian!
You finally came back.
We're old friends now. Why is there a need to hide?
It would be better to come out and reminisce.
Bring him.
Let me go!
Doctor Bian, if you won't come out,
I'll just have to execute Old Xiao.
Oh, by the way,
I forgot to tell you. Old Xiao watched helplessly while his father and mother were beaten to death.
He was not willing to sell you out even then.
He really made me admire him.
All right. Since you're not willing to come out,
that means Old Xiao is a chess piece you no longer need.
Since he's useless,
then I'll help you kill him.
Execute him.
What on earth are you doing, little Jap?
Little Jap, if you dare, just shoot me dead.
Open fire!
Three.
Two.
One.
Wait.
