[The Fatal Mission]
- Episode 37 -
Zhao, come with me for a minute.
There's something I want to say to you.
Just say it.
Fine.
I'll be straightforward then.
I absolutely disagree with keeping her with us.
This mission is not only dangerous, but extremely important.
She'll just become a burden to us.
You...!
Zhuo Yan, don't say anything.
I agree with the Lieutenant Colonel. I also oppose her staying.
Who the hell are you to say that?
Where do you want this girl to go in this big jungle?
Ban Kuo,
I think that since Doctor Su is able to come this far following us
shows she has sufficient skills.
She will definitely not become a burden to us, as some people claim.
Rookie, in my view,
just let this girl come along.
Even if you don't take her courage into account,
you have to consider her love for you.
You don't need to say anything else. I've decided.
Zhuo Yan, you should go back.
- I won't go back! - You must go back.
Old Jay was right.
Our mission this time is very important.
There's no way I can protect you.
I also don't want you to become a burden for everyone.
Okay, I've decided. Everyone else come with me.
Let's go.
Captain, that girl is...
No, Rookie, you should think it over.
A good word warms like a fire in winter.
A bad one hurts like the snow in summer.
You... You just hurt that girl's heart.
Girl, I don't know what medicine he took today.
He didn't use to be like this.
Why don't you go back first?
The convoy is just back there.
Zhao Ban Kuo!
You're the captain of the squad. You have the authority to decide whether one can stay or go,
but you aren't the captain of me.
I'll go where I want to go.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Little girl, that's some fast thinking!
Rookie, she has checkmated you here.
You hurry and go back!
Let's go.
Take this and eat it.
Have you agreed to let me stay?
I didn't agree.
Then why did you give me food?
I'm worried that you'll starve to death.
Say yes but meaning no.
If it were Captain Liao, would you let her stay?
She is already a member of our squad.
No. All along you feel that Captain Liao is the real captain
and you are just carrying out her orders.
As for me, it's not that you don't agree,
you're afraid that Captain Liao wouldn't agree.
You may go. I want to sleep.
Division Commander.
What is it?
Did you manage to get in touch with her?
Where is Zhuo Yan now?
I still haven't made contact.
I already instructed them to monitor the radio receiver 24 hours a day.
Division Commander, don't be so worried.
Heaven helps the worthy. She will definitely be all right.
How could I not be worried?
That girl... where could she have gone?
Girl, are you tired?
Here, I'll help you carry it.
Thank you for taking care of me all this way. It's fine.
It's a long road ahead.
I'm afraid a young lady like you wouldn't be able to keep up.
Even though you argued with the Rookie,
you still have to conserve your energy. Right?
Precisely because the road ahead is still long, I want to do it myself.
Okay.
For a girl, you are not finicky.
You've got some toughness in you, like me.
There's a situation.
Something's up.
Let's go.
Everybody... I ask you,
why does this jungle look so terrifying?
Why are the trees all withered like this?
Old Jay,
do you know what this is all about?
I can't explain it either.
It seems these trees died from their roots up.
Everyone, be careful.
Let's go. Let's take a look ahead.
Really weird.
Long Hair, this time you're right. It's weird.
If this is caused by some external factor,
what would be the cause to kill such a large area of woods?
All the spirits of the mountain and the jungle, to the gods that govern this land,
please bless us for our safe entry and exit. Don't let anything evil taint our journey.
Don't let us die. Don't let us die.
Enough. Damn it.
Are you cursing us with death?
You don't know crap!
If you don't listen to me, you'll be the first to die.
I'll just see who the first to die is.
Stop talking.
We don't know how deep this jungle is.
Let's do this.
Everyone will put on your gas mask and retreat from this area first.
Let's go.

Finally, a place here that makes me feel safer.
Everyone, rest up.
Although this time our march route
is different from when we came to Kachin Hills the first time,
when we went around the Japanese army's north/south line of defense,
our final destination is still the dandelion area.
I also know about the dandelion area.
Right. Your plane went down there.
The aborigines hid it in a mountain cave.
What do you plan to do now?
Right now, there are two options.
First: Change our marching route
and go around these poisoned woods.
This way is much safer, but it's going to cost us a lot of time.
Second: We send two squad members ahead to scout out a path early tomorrow morning.
But doing that,
to be honest, is very dangerous.
Ban Kuo, then what if we don't scout ahead
and just let the whole squad go in together?
Four Eyes, have you forgotten that
the first time we entered the Kachin Hills we almost got wiped out completely.
Zhao, but we don't have much time.
Understood. We don't have the time and this mission is very important.
But Old Jay, I ask you to understand
that every decision I make now
is a life and death decision for all the squad members.
You Chinese have a saying,
"You can't catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's lair."
You can't catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger's lair.
How to get the tiger's cub?
Okay, I've decided.
Early tomorrow morning everyone will wear your gas mask
and prepare to cross the poisoned woods as fast as possible.
Okay, I'll go tell everyone.
Everyone should put on your protective gear and get ready to move out.
Rookie! Rookie!
Rookie, look at my neck! It suddenly got so red.
And look at this grass. Last night when I went to sleep,
the grass next to me was all green.
Earlier today when I got up, it had all withered and died.
That shows that the problem is with these woods.
We have to go around it.
We can't go around.
Going around would cost us too much time. It would ruin everything.
My dear American officer...
Oh my god!
If we enter, everyone will die. It doesn't matter whether if we finish or not!
Medic, listen to me.
We discussed the problem you're bringing up, last night.
Right now it's like this. Time is very, very important.
Everyone knows that
the Expeditionary Forces are in the middle of a fierce attack. If the Japs retreat, there's a high possibility
that they will destroy the place we're heading for.
So now we have to take advantage of the opportunity while they are entangled in the fight
to move as quickly as possible to our destination.
But isn't the situation clear?
If we go in, we will all die.
Why do you have to go in? Aren't you being stubborn?
Relax. Don't forget we have gas masks.
At least you don't have to worry about things like toxic gases.
If we're cautious and move fast, there shouldn't be a problem.
Do any of you feel uncomfortable?
You must not let down your guard. There must be a reason for the trees to die like this.
Only the Old Fool is such a coward
and made a fuss about nothing. Just trying to scare us.
You know nothing. This is called, "Caution is the parent of safety."
It seems that if you're that careful,
we won't reach our destination in ten thousand years.
What is it?
Up ahead there are dead Japanese soldiers.
Medic, go over there and take a look.
Old Fool, what is it?
There are no wounds or signs of bullet holes on the dead bodies,
but you can tell that before they died they suffered greatly.
Did you discover anything else?
The trees near the box
have withered even more than before.
I think that box is the origin of the death of the woods.
Let's go to look right away.
It seems that the entire Jap squad died suddenly.
They didn't even bury the bodies.
Such an ugly way to die.
It was neither bullets nor explosions.
How did they all suddenly die?
What is in these boxes?
Be careful, it's poison.
Old Jay, do you see anything from this?
We should get out of here fast.
There's nothing good to see here.
Let's go.
We're now getting closer and closer to the Japanese army's north/south defensive line.
Good. My hands have been itching.
I really want to practice on those Japs.
Brigand, don't get impatient.
Later, there will be plenty of Japs for you to kill.
What we have to do now is to circle around the Japanese north/south defensive line.
But Ban Kuo, the Japanese defenses marked on the map
was made before the Expeditionary Forces' offensive took place.
The offensive has already started. I'm afraid the Japs' defenses have already changed.
What you said is true.
This is what I am thinking now.
Now we'll slow down our march.
We'll focus all our ability to observe any changes in the Japanese army's defensive lines.
When do you think we can get there?
If nothing unexpected happens, we can make it to the dandelion area in three or four days.
Three or four days?
Will that work? What if we run into Japs on the way?
The defensive lines at Mengguan and Walawbum haven't changed much,
so we should be able to make it in three to four days.
We'll rest here tonight.
Brigand, you have the first watch.
Something's up.
Get down! Take cover!
Halt!
Zhao Ban Kuo!
Stop right there!
- Don't shoot! - Don't shoot!
Guska?
Zhao Ban Kuo.
Guska, what are you doing here?
Zhao Ban Kuo! You gotta be kidding me!
Why did another woman show up?
- Zhao Ban Kuo, who is she? - Zhao Ban Kuo, who is she?
Su Zhuo Yan, listen to me.
The first time we came to Kachin Hills...
she was our comrade in battle. Really!
If you don't believe me, ask them.
Medic, just what is the relationship between those two?
This is such a wretched mess.
This makes me...
How do I explain it?
How do you explain? Just tell the truth.
Then I'll really say it. Don't blame me.
Girl, this is what happened.
I know you are fully committed to Rookie.
However, ever since this Rookie became an officer, it's kind of unavoidable that...
he kind of has a wandering eye--
What are you saying!
Didn't you want me to tell the truth?
Did I say what I shouldn't?
Old Fool, when have you ever said anything serious?
- You really know how to stir things up. - If you know how, then you try it!
You tell it then.
Actually, I don't really understand...
but I really envy him in my heart.
He is the model I'm striving to be; my goal.
What you're striving for? Good lord, what the hell are you saying?
What I said is the truth.
I really envy and respect him. Really!
I can swear. I'm not lying to you.
Enough!
Enough. I'll testify that the Rookie and Guska don't have any kind of relationship.
Right.
They've only spent one night together in the bridal chamber.
I...
Wh-Wh-What?! What are you saying?!
What did I say wrong?!
Throughout the entire mission, Rookie and Guska were completely innocent. Everyone saw it. You can all bear witness.
They spent only one night in the bridal chamber together.
Who saw what happened in that room?
I didn't see. Did you see?
No. You... You are a bookworm. You read so much your brain has been messed up.
What is this spending a night together and not seeing?
You should have said it this way. "They went into the bridal chamber
and they didn't let us see!"
That's not right either.
Don't-Don't say it!
Zhao Ban Kuo!
If you don't know how to say it, don't just say any old thing.
I didn't lie.
Who is she?
The Rookie's fiancée.
Fi-an-chee?
She's the wife he hasn't married yet. They haven't entered the bridal chamber.
- You're the fake one. - Stop talking.
What he's trying to say...
You are the fake one and she is the real one.
Aiyo... Cut it out!
Zuo Yan! Zuo Yan,
don't listen to their nonsense.
So, did you marry her or not?
I did.
Zhao Ban Kuo!
Listen to me.
I really had no choice back then.
I had to marry her.
It was the only way the aborigines would release the rest of the squad.
However, nothing happened during that night.
Really, nothing happened between us.
- Really? - I'm not lying to you.
- You and her-- - I feel guilty toward her.
I only see her as my comrade, as my sister.
Let's go back.

Hey, didn't I just stand watch for one shift?
What's the big celebration for you to be standing up to welcome me?
Oh, and there's another girl.
What kind of a show are you putting on?
What the heck are you mumbling about?
Don't you feel it's messy enough?
But it pleases me.
What are you guys doing here?
We're here to carry out our mission.
I want to go, too!
Ask Rookie.
I can protect you. Make her go back!
Make her go back!
This is really interesting.
No... this... Rookie,
it seems Doctor Su and your secret wife--
No... She and Guska are determined to follow us.
We can't talk them out of it.
So if it's like this, I think it would be better to bring them along, right?
If they continue to follow us, it will be too dangerous.
No! Zhao, let me repeat my viewpoint.
We absolutely cannot bring the women along any farther.
Why can't we?
One: The first time we came to Kachin Hills to carry out our mission, Guska
risked her life and fought along side us.
This jungle is her home. She can be a big help to us.
Two: Doctor Su is an outstanding doctor. She saved our captain.
Besides that, she followed us on her own and has shown her ability.
She too isn't a burden. Why can't we?
Enough! Don't say anything more. We'll take a vote to decide.
We'll decide whether they both stay or both go. Let's start now.
I'm for it!
I oppose.
- I agree. - I also agree.
- I oppose. - I also oppose.
Everyone, never mind anything else,
just based on Doctor Su's courage,
and because of her love for Rookie...
I agree.
Okay, now that's three votes to four.
Welcome the two ladies into our squad.
I say what you are doing is completely ridiculous!
Officer Jay, it's democracy.
This is the gentlemanly way.
Captain Zhao, I must talk to you alone!
I beg you!
Old Jay.
If you have something, just say it.
Two women.
You're going to let two women join our squad.
Is this a joke?
Am I dreaming?
Am I in the middle of a dream?
How can you not think that our mission will be a complete failure?
Old Jay, first don't get so worked up.
This situation, to be frank, is a special circumstance.
Our mission is also classified as a special circumstance.
Okay. I'll tell you about them one at a time. As for Guska,
she's a local aborigine.
She is very, very familiar with the terrain here.
She can be an advantage to us. Please believe me.
Then wait and see, huh?
And Miss Su?
Su Zhuo Yan is a physician.
Of course, I have to admit that
I actually don't want her to stay with the squad;
but since she came here by herself,
I can't let her go back by herself. It would be too dangerous.
Zhao, you know I also know this Miss Su.
She saved me before, along with Director Bian.
They rescued me from a Japanese military jail cell in Tengchong.
Having said that, in your heart you have to understand that
it's not only because Miss Su is a woman,
and because she and you seem to already have a complicated relationship that I oppose it.
It's also because her identity
isn't that simple. At the least, it's not clear-cut.
Even though in your country, the Communist and the Nationalist parties are united against the Japanese,
but this mission is top secret.
Your army cannot allow a Communist
to participate in this!
Old Jay, I understand. So I'll ask you this.
What is our mission this time?
I really wish I could tell you,
but I have to say "no need to know."
No need to know?
Okay, I'll ask you again.
Who is our common enemy?
Of course, our common enemy is the Japanese army.
Our common enemy is the Japanese army.
Then Su Zhuo Yan, as a Communist Party member,.
why can't she join our squad?
In this squad, there's no distinction between nationalities
and there are no political factions.
Only you know the real mission.
As long as you don't tell her,
I believe she will continue to know nothing.
Also,
everyone already voted.
So Old Jay, this can't be changed.
God help us.
Let's go then.
What are you all doing still standing here?
Break it up. Go to sleep.
Everybody, pack it up. We are leaving soon.
I will get you guys some water.
Brigand, lead the way.
Okay.
Why isn't Su Zuo Yan back yet?
Didn't she say that she was getting water?
She should be back by now.
Where is your little dark wife?
Why didn't she alert us before leaving?
I told you women would only drag us down.
No use complaining. Let's split up and find them.
Why do you think those two women disappeared at the same time?
Go.
Old man, let go of your hands.
Even though I am 38 years old, I can still beat you to death! Do you believe it?
What is it?
Rookie, you are just in time. I'm telling you...
Brigand was trying to take advantage of Doctor Su.
If I hadn't come in time,
he would've gotten his way with her!
Stop your bullshit!
Don't project your nasty thoughts onto my actions.
Zuo Yan, what happened?
It's a misunderstanding. I was getting water by the river
and saw a snake. I jumped back in fright.
Brigand was close by, so he pulled me away.
We tripped and fell.
Medic saw it and mistook the situation.
Was that really what happened?
So this is the true culprit.
Okay. Stop fighting.
It's only a misunderstanding.
It's fine. I'm an honorable person with high tolerance.
I won't hold a grudge.
Zuo Yan, don't run around in the future.
There are many dangers on this mountain. Be careful.
Medic, thank you.
It's nothing.
We are all on the same side.
Just a misunderstanding.
Where did you go?
Guska, don't go off by yourself from now on.
Everybody, let's go.
Timing and Subtitles by ♞ Team Candle Knights ♘ @ Viki.com
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Such a big field of dandelions.
Yet, they can bloom in this season.
In Kachin Hills, it's not surprising to see any kind of vegetation.
Didn't we already see a lot on our way here?
Let's go.
"Hears from her nest,
Merry heart, starry eye, wake from your rest.
Wide open the emerald lids, robins above.
White little dandelion smiles at his love."
I didn't think you'd be such a romantic.
Why didn't you use a language people can understand and not show off using gibberish?
See even your Western superior is criticizing you
as a donkey pulling a mill, slow as hell. (Pun on word romantic: 'Ro' - donkey and 'man' - mill )
It's ro - man - ti - ca.
In Mandarin, it means to be "poetically affectionate."
What? For a group of dark, rough brutes,
what is so poetic and affectionate about them?
It has nothing to do with a person's appearance.
It's about a person's inner thoughts and mindset.
What the hell is he mumbling about?
Why do you even care? Whatever it is, it's nonsense.
I don't care.
Old Jay!
Follow me. Everyone else, rest in place.
Old Jay, this is the place we found suspicious when we came the first time.
From the clues found here,
we discovered the aboriginal village and the cave with airplane wreckage.
Okay. Thank you, Zhao.
This is exactly the place I need to investigate.
- I'll start working. - Call if you need me.
Four Eyes.
What's wrong with you? Are you possessed?
Don't mind him. He is doing it for a reason.
What reason?
You wouldn't understand.
I would if you told me.
Captain Liao liked this place very much.
She said this place was beautiful.
This place is indeed breathtakingly beautiful.
Are you reminiscing about Captain Liao?
Not only her.
I'm thinking about all the people who came here,
especially Big Bull,
Knife, and Cao Guo Jiu.
The image of the original squad members
is still vivid in my mind.
Too bad things are no longer the same.
It seems Captain Liao left a strong impression on all of you.
